Private junior high school (SMP) teachers in Banjarbaru are strongly influenced by transformational leadership, work motivation, and job satisfaction, so improving teacher performance by identifying the problems they face and finding alternative solutions is necessary. The research was conducted to analyze the direct and indirect influence of the principal's transformational leadership and work motivation on performance through job satisfaction of private junior high school teachers in Banjarbaru City. The research design used in this research is descriptive, using a path analysis model (part analysis) to analyze the pattern of influence between variables. The research population was 266 teachers from 14 private junior high schools in Banjarbaru City. Moreover, 160 respondents were taken as research samples using the Probability Simple Random Sampling technique. Data collection uses questionnaire instruments, and data analysis uses descriptive analysis, classical assumption testing, hypothesis testing, and path analysis. The results of the data analysis obtained show that the regression coefficient value of the transformational leadership variable of the principal and teacher performance is 0.396, the variable job satisfaction and teacher performance is 0.365, the variable work motivation and teacher performance is 0.226, the variable principal transformational leadership and job satisfaction is 0.605, the variable work motivation and job satisfaction is 0.290, the variable transformational leadership with performance through job satisfaction is 0.137 and the variable work motivation and performance through job satisfaction is 0.073. The research results show that the level of transformational leadership of school principals, the level of job satisfaction, and the level of teacher performance in junior high schools in the city of Banjarbaru are in the medium category, while the level of work motivation is in the high category. There is a partial direct relationship between the transformational leadership of school principals, work motivation, job satisfaction, and teacher performance in private junior high schools in Banjarbaru. There is an indirect relationship between transformational leadership, work motivation, and performance through job satisfaction in private junior high schools throughout Banjarbaru City, so there is a need to increase the variables of transformational leadership, work motivation, job satisfaction, and teacher performance.","PeriodicalId":471797,"journal":{"name":"Technium Education and Humanities","volume":"31 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139529285","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}

The study focused on three aspects of mobile learning: its acceptance, teachers' readiness to adopt it, and the challenges they face in shifting from traditional to mobile teaching methods. Findings revealed a positive reception towards m-learning, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when traditional classroom teaching was impossible. Nonetheless, the effective implementation of m-learning was influenced by teachers' familiarity with the technology, student motivation, the availability of relevant instructional materials, and the pressures associated with teaching in this new format.","PeriodicalId":471797,"journal":{"name":"Technium Education and Humanities","volume":"41 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139535071","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 Narrative Examination","authors":"Gerasimos Kalogeratos, Eleni Anastasopoulou, Angeliki Tsagri, Chrysostomos Tseremegklis, Sofia Asimakopoulou","doi":"10.47577/teh.v6i.10223","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47577/teh.v6i.10223","url":null,"abstract":"The cultivation of creativity within the educational environment is of utmost importance in the context of our contemporary, rapidly changing society. This research paper explores the importance, difficulties, and approaches to promoting creativity in educational settings. Creativity plays a crucial role in the growth and advancement of individuals, encompassing both educational and developmental domains. The absence of creativity has a pervasive influence on the entire school community, resulting in detrimental consequences, whereas its cultivation is advocated to improve the educational experience. This study aims to examine the significance of creativity within the educational setting. The present study constitutes a comprehensive examination of the existing body of literature from 1999 to 2023. Following a rigorous and comprehensive assessment of the articles, eleven (11) articles were selected for inclusion in the study. This study examines multiple research papers that investigate creativity in the educational setting. Specifically, it focuses on the perspectives of both students and teachers regarding the manifestation of creativity. Additionally, it explores the relationship between teachers' expertise and their ability to facilitate creative activities and the interplay between children's creative abilities and their academic performance. In summary, various factors influence the development of creativity and associated skills in individuals, with a notable emphasis on the school community. Nevertheless, educational institutions require assistance in transitioning from traditional approaches and effectively evaluating the concept of creativity. Even with these challenges, the imperative of prioritizing creativity in education is apparent, considering its pivotal role in fostering comprehensive student growth and equipping learners for forthcoming obstacles. The paper concludes by advocating for schools to adopt a proactive role in fostering creativity, thereby equipping students with the necessary skills to navigate the intricate challenges of the 21st century effectively.","PeriodicalId":471797,"journal":{"name":"Technium Education and Humanities","volume":"19 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138966344","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}

{"title":"Emotional intelligence in children with special educational needs","authors":"Mihaela Luminita Sandu, Maria Isabela Bîrzu","doi":"10.47577/teh.v6i.10307","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47577/teh.v6i.10307","url":null,"abstract":"Despite the vigorous discourse surrounding education, current measures remain insufficient for effectuating substantive benefits for children. Guaranteeing the holistic development of children, particularly those with special educational needs, necessitates the provision of universally high-caliber educational experiences. It is critical to cultivate competencies for self-regulation and management of emotions from an early age, which is instrumental in fostering emotional stability and equipping children with the resilience to navigate life's adversities. Individuals with disabilities encounter significant societal disadvantages, arising not only from their inherent circumstances but also from societal reactions and the manner in which they are treated within these social structures. Therefore, in this thesis I have chosen to address two of the most relevant and important issues, the development of emotional and social skills in pre-school children, aged 3-6/7 years, with special educational needs. If this skill is not developed, it can affect the balance of mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, low mood and other repercussions.  The role of emotions in each individual's life is as important as life itself.  First of all, it should be noted that emotions manifest themselves constantly and differently. Different motives and contexts can provoke positive or negative emotions that cause changes in people's behaviour, the effectiveness and direction of decision-making, the formation of relationships and other aspects of everyday life.  Emotional intelligence is an important skill for all children, including those with special needs. They may face unique challenges in developing emotional intelligence, but with appropriate support and interventions, they can still make progress. Once a child develops this skill, it becomes easier for them to control their behaviour, which will lead to optimal social interactions. A child's behaviour can be influenced by how they analyse the emotions conveyed by the people they interact with. So the child shapes and modifies behaviour based on what is shared with him/her through the emotions expressed by others.","PeriodicalId":471797,"journal":{"name":"Technium Education and Humanities","volume":"53 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138595641","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}

The presence of emotional intelligence (EI), which plays a crucial role in the comprehension and regulation of emotions within oneself and others, may occasionally be diminished in individuals diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). This study examines various approaches to augmenting Emotional Intelligence (EI) in individuals with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). Additionally, it investigates the potential leadership capabilities that can be unlocked due to this augmentation. The literature acknowledges the inherent strengths of individuals with PDD, including their analytical capabilities and unique perspectives. However, enhancing their emotional intelligence (EI) can provide them with additional skills necessary for assuming leadership positions. The utilization of structured learning, experiential environments, and mindfulness practices has demonstrated potential in augmenting emotional intelligence (EI), thus enabling individuals with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) to leverage their inherent strengths more effectively in leadership settings. This highlights the necessity of implementing a comprehensive leadership development program specifically designed to address the unique requirements of individuals with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), thereby promoting a more inclusive approach to leadership.","PeriodicalId":471797,"journal":{"name":"Technium Education and Humanities","volume":"5 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136102289","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}

In Bafut, this annual festival is referred to as ‘abine-mfor’ (fon’s dance) or ‘flutes’ dance’. This occasion was instituted by the very first fon of the Bafut Fondom to commemorate the ancestors and spirits through sacrifices and dancing. The majority of Bafut people admire and celebrate the Abine-mfor with passion but very few understand the raison d’être of the dance. The question is what is the cultural significance of the fon’s dance in the life of the Bafut fondom? This paper examines the symbolism of Abine-mfor and the functions of the ceremony in the life of the fondom. Collecting data for this paper, we used the qualitative method. This method was employed through techniques such as participant observation, in-depth interview, informal discussions, literature review and photography. The data was interpreted using theories of symbolic anthropology of Geertz, and functionalism of Malinowski and Brown. Major findings reveal that in the Annual dance, the villagers perform traditional dances, sacrifices to honour their ancestors and spirits. This ceremony therefore reflects the belief system, social and political form of organisation of the Bafut Fondom. Cultural manifestations such as Abine-mfor and others should be documented (Historical Particularism of Boas) so that Bafut and non-Bafut people should understand its importance to the cultural heritage of Bafut in particular and that of Cameroon in general.","PeriodicalId":471797,"journal":{"name":"Technium Education and Humanities","volume":"192 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135732832","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}
