The belief that girls dislike mathematics and are not as proficient at it as boys persists. Is it true that girls do not like mathematics and are not as good at it as boys? This survey study looked at gender disparities in secondary school students’ motivation for learning mathematics. It considered the dimensions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, and amotivation in a sample of 158 secondary school students from the Kollam district. The findings show that among secondary school pupils, the reason for learning mathematics does not differ considerably by gender except for extrinsic motivation.","PeriodicalId":43530,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Sciences","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85591777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A child who cannot read well will likely lag behind their peers in academic achievement. It may negatively affect their self-concept, and since reading is the main problem for people with dyslexia, it may adversely affect their academic achievement and other educational tasks. That will impact their self-esteem. Several studies and psychological and educational research have focused on self-concept within a theoretical, philosophical, or methodological framework for different categories of the educational community, whether ordinary or special needs, but only a few have focused on people with dyslexia. The researcher analysed systematic reviews on the research of self-concept in the academic achievement of children with dyslexia. The study found an effect on the satisfaction and happiness of family relations and occasions in families, sports play and entertainment, emotional personality features, and behavioural and social features in school in children with dyslexia.","PeriodicalId":43530,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Sciences","volume":"179 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83758757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mixed-method research approach was used to collect data. The quantitative data were collected using a survey questionnaire and focus group discussion method was used to gather qualitative data. The students’ views of their instructors’ online instructional and assessment strategies revealed that teachers confined themselves to the university guidelines and used the recommended learning management system (LMS) and digital tools but lacked the training to utilise many of the features available in the recommended LMS and digital tools that could be integrated with the LMS due to poor knowledge and ICT skills.

To achieve this goal, this paper describes the consensual qualitative research in the perspective of multi-dimensions among EFL pre-service teachers who are studying in a language university. Research has found that educational practicum has positive impacts on the professional identity of pre-service teachers. (1) EFL pre-service teachers have more comprehensive understanding of teacher professionalization, and teaching processing (2) The positive feedback of students enhanced pre-service teachers’ devotion and love of teaching as career or profession. (3) The emotional experience during the internship is also an important factor that affects pre-service teachers’ professional identity and teaching self-effective.","PeriodicalId":43530,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Sciences","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78987106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
