The objective of the present study was to explore the mediational effect of student engagement (SE) between the relationship of inclusive teaching practices (ITP) and student academic performance (AP) in ECE with the intent to find the moderating effect of play support (PS) and the class environment (CE) for the relationship between ITP and AP. The research design of the current quantitative study was a cross-sectional survey. The participants were 300 ECE teachers who work in public schools of the Kasur and Lahore districts in Punjab, Pakistan. Data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire. Simple linear regression and Process macro were used to test four hypotheses. After analysis, it was revealed that ITP contributes significantly (<i>β</i> = 0.396, <i>t</i>(298) = 7.44, <i>p</i> < 0.001) to the AP of students in ECE. SE partially mediates (<i>B</i> = 0.231, SE = 0.043, <i>p</i> = 0.000) the relationship between ITP and AP. PS [<i>F</i>(3, 296) = 48.239, <i>p</i> < 0.001] has a statistically significant effect, and CE [<i>F</i>(3, 296) = 50.663, <i>p</i> < 0.001] has a marginally significant moderating effect on the relationship between ITP and AP. It is recommended that longitudinal and qualitative studies be conducted to improve generalisability and understand the phenomenon in depth.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47585,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Education","volume":"60 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143638758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample consisted of 6151 students between the academic years of 2010/11 and 2022/23. Cluster analyses suggest that having multiple enrollments is related to higher workload and longer study duration.

Content analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the examination of 37 articles that met the criteria. It had been observed that descriptive studies the current situations are mostly on “general evaluation of in-service professional development programs”. It has been found that negative thoughts are at the forefront in the results of research findings in this aim. It has been determined that the most frequently studied themes involving experimental procedure researches on professional development practices for teachers are “in-service training practice and evaluation” and “collaborative practices” and positive results have been obtained from these studies. The theme of “collaboration” for science teachers' professional development has come to the fore in both descriptive and involving experimental procedure research. In the light of the results of the research, suggestions were made with the idea that there should be more studies that examine “the teacher as a part of a social structure” rather than “individual professional development” prepared by considering the teacher as an individual separate from the student and the school.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47585,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Education","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143497001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regarding the characteristics of school cultures, the participants emphasised an organisational culture that is open to innovation and solidarity among individuals. Concerning the cultural barriers to change in schools, the resistance to innovation was highlighted as linked to individual behaviour. Finally, the way in which school members resist change is important. The results highlight a lack of cooperation as one of the main barriers to change. Resistance to collaboration and lack of development of professional learning networks currently inhibit school change in Türkiye. The results show that cultural factors affect the success of change initiatives in schools that are open systems, and understanding and overcoming obstacles.

To explore this influence, the present study examines 389 Generation Z pre-service teachers' attitudes towards AI and its impact on educational decision-making at two state universities, using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods research design. Quantitative data were collected through the General Attitudes to Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS) and an AI decision-making survey. It was followed by qualitative data gathered via semi-structured interviews to enrich the statistical trends with deeper thematic insights. SPSS was used for quantitative data analysis while MAXQDA was employed for a systematic analysis of the qualitative data. The analysis revealed that female pre-service teachers held more positive attitudes towards AI, with higher levels of AI knowledge contributing to these attitudes. Negative attitudes, however, were independent of gender, academic discipline or AI familiarity. Findings also reveal that AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, are primarily used as advisors, and pre-service teachers often adapt AI's suggestions to their preferences. AI is predominantly preferred for assignments, reports, projects and presentations. In AI acceptance, time and effort savings, innovative suggestions and unbiased recommendations are stated as key factors. However, there are ongoing trust concerns highlighting the necessity of keeping final decisions under human control.

The sample included 2361 Chinese teachers from primary and secondary schools. Findings showed that emotional leadership as a job resource from leaders promoted deep acting (DA) and expression of naturally felt emotions (ENFE), eventually enhancing psychological well-being. Moreover, emotional leadership caused more surface acting (SA) only when teachers had a lower level of harmony, which reduced psychological well-being; collectivism, harmony, and obedience to authority weakened the positive impacts of emotional leadership on psychological well-being.
