This research was conducted between February and March 2024. \u0000Methodology: The study sample consisted of 60 children, 30 children in the experimental group and 30 children in the control group. The 10 children in each group were representative of the three kindergartens used in the study. Data collection used tests to test cognitive development and performance to test children's language development. Data analysis used homogeneity test, normality test, and t test. \u0000Results: The results of the analysis obtained a value of 0.029 <0.050 which indicates a significant increase in effective communication in early childhood in Beyond Centers and Circle Time learning on cognitive development and the results of the analysis obtained a value of 0.003 <0.050 which indicates a significant increase in effective communication in early childhood in Beyond Centers and Circle Time learning on child language development. Structured communication during Beyond Centers and Circle Time activities has improved children's cognitive and language skills for the better. In particular, children were able to show better attention during learning activities, improve peer interactions, and engage themselves in learning activities, all due to the role of effective communication during these learning activities. \u0000Conclusion: It was found that increasing effective communication in early childhood learning in Beyond Centers and Circle Time learning can affect early childhood cognitive and language development. Suggestions for future researchers, the hope is to continue research related to Beyond Centers and Circle Time learning, it could be that this learning could have other benefits in early childhood skills or knowledge. Or it can be applied in early childhood education institutions in other areas because the problems in each educational institution must be different. And it can also be a source of reference or new information for further research that explores this learning or related to effective communication in early childhood learning.","PeriodicalId":505052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Society and Behavioural Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141920236","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}

Researching the factors influencing satisfaction with experimental teaching, as well as the hierarchical relationships and mechanisms of action among these factors, provides significant theoretical foundations and practical guidance for conducting scientific and targeted reforms in experimental teaching. Based on literature research and questionnaire surveys, fifteen factors affecting experimental teaching satisfaction were selected across five dimensions: teachers, curriculum, students, environment, and interaction. The Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) was used to reveal the hierarchical relationships among these factors, and the Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to a Classification (MICMAC) method was employed to validate the model’s scientific validity and assess the driving forces and dependencies of each factor. The research results indicate that self-efficacy, academic emotions, perceived course value, teacher-student interaction, and peer interaction are direct factors influencing experimental teaching satisfaction and exhibit a high level of interdependence. Teacher’s teaching competence, laboratory management, course content, course resources, and laboratory environment are deeper influencing factors with strong driving forces, positively impacting both the direct factors and intermediary factors such as teaching models and course assessment. Based on the analysis results, improvement strategies, and recommendations are proposed to enhance the quality of experimental teaching and the effectiveness of talent development.","PeriodicalId":505052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Society and Behavioural Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141648841","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}

This comprehensive review examines recent advances and persistent challenges in understanding, diagnosing, and supporting individuals with ID in rural communities in India. \u0000Advancements in diagnosing and intervening in intellectual disability in rural India have been achieved through various approaches, including community-based screening programs, culturally tailored assessment tools, telemedicine, and mobile health solutions. These initiatives prioritize widening access to healthcare services and early intervention, with the overarching goal of enhancing outcomes for individuals with intellectual disabilities. \u0000However, formidable challenges persist. Limited access to specialized services, pervasive stigma, socio-economic disparities, and inadequate awareness hinder progress in addressing the needs of individuals with ID in rural India. These challenges necessitate a multi-faceted approach involving policymakers, healthcare providers, educators, and community leaders. \u0000Addressing these challenges requires prioritizing the needs of individuals with ID, promoting awareness and advocacy, investing in capacity building, and implementing policy reforms. Collaborative efforts are essential to overcome barriers and ensure that individuals with ID in rural India receive the support and opportunities they deserve. \u0000Moving forward, it's essential to prioritize on-going research, expand service provision, and nurture a culture of acceptance and inclusion. These endeavors are critical for shaping a future where individuals with intellectual disabilities in rural India can not only thrive but also actively contribute to their communities. While strides have been made, significant challenges persist in addressing intellectual disability in these areas. Acknowledging these hurdles and collectively working to overcome them is vital for building a more inclusive and equitable society that values the unique contributions of all individuals, regardless of their abilities. \u0000In conclusion, the author concluded that while progress has been made, significant challenges remain in addressing intellectual disability in rural India. By acknowledging these challenges and working together to overcome them, we can build a more inclusive and equitable society for all individuals, regardless of their abilities.","PeriodicalId":505052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Society and Behavioural Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141362040","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}

Successful adjustment is crucial for maintaining a good level of life. Individuals with adjustment disorders are more prone to have clinical depression or anxiety, feelings of despair, anhedonia, sleep disturbances, and risky conduct. Homesickness is a distressing situation created by being away from people and places you know and love. It is often a state of emotional anguish. It is a frequent experience for students who relocate away from home, regardless of distance. Psychological well-being involves several aspects of a person's mental and emotional health, such as healthy connections, personal growth and development, positive self-esteem and acceptance, and a sense of control over one's life. The sample consisted of 115 young adults (26 Males, 86 Females and 3 other) with mean age being 21.55 years. Moderation Analysis by Andrew F. Hayes was undertaken to compute the result.

Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, the study synthesizes empirical data and theoretical insights to explore how socio-economic backgrounds, government policies, societal attitudes, and individual actions shape aspirations. Central to this analysis is the concept of \"conditionally convergent aspirations,\" which describes how socio-economic and cultural barriers lead to a narrowing of aspirations within homogeneous groups, thereby limiting the potential for upward social mobility. The findings suggest that effective policy interventions must address these foundational disparities through comprehensive educational reforms, robust social equity measures, and economic empowerment initiatives. By offering a detailed review of the literature and proposing targeted policy recommendations, the study aims to contribute to the discourse on social justice and economic development, advocating for a strategic approach to foster a more equitable society where the aspirations of all Indian youth can be realised.","PeriodicalId":505052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Society and Behavioural Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140988578","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}

Despite the significance of reading habits, many Bhutanese students remain unaware of their importance. This research paper addresses the need to nurture a love for reading among 9th grade students at Gomtu Higher Secondary School. Utilizing observation, survey questionnaires, and interviews as data collection tools, the study first assesses the current situation through pre-data collection. Subsequently, interventions such as situation analysis, guided reading sessions, book review compilations, book talks, and reader's theatre are implemented. Post-data collection is then conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions. The findings reveal that students develop reading habits when provided with opportunities to choose books based on their interests. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of offering a diverse range of reading materials to stimulate student interest, highlighting the pivotal role of the school library in this regard. The study also identifies significant improvements in students' daily reading habits post-intervention, with 25.8% strongly agreeing and 48.4% agreeing to engage in daily reading practices, compared to 11.3% strongly disagreeing and 46.8% disagreeing during the preliminary phase. Moreover, 35.5% of students strongly agreed, and 38.7% agreed to read out of curiosity after the interventions, compared to 9.7% strongly agreeing and 35.5% agreeing during pre-intervention. Practical suggestions drawn from the study include tailoring book selections to individual interests, empowering students with autonomy in choosing reading materials, and optimizing the school library to provide a diverse range of genres and enjoyable reading materials. These findings emphasize the significance of fostering a love for reading among students and offer actionable insights to promote literacy initiatives effectively.","PeriodicalId":505052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Society and Behavioural Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141008343","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 major reasons were no different from the latest reform that was introduced, the Junior High School (JHS) system. That was so because it was yet another review of the entire education system of the country with the view of making it responsive to current global and social challenges. One of the concerns has been whether the influx of numerous foreign dress styles among teachers in Ghanaian society has an effect on students, teachers, and quality education. The aim of this research is to assess the dressing of teachers and its impact on junior high school students’ academic performance. The research identified, discussed, and assessed the impact of teachers’ dressing on students’ performance in selected junior high schools in the Oforikrom Municipality in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Both quantitative and qualitative research designs were used for the research. The questionnaire, observations, interviews, and focus group discussions were the instruments used in the collection of the data. A simple random and cluster area sampling method was adopted to select the respondents for the study. The accessible population for the study consisted of three hundred (300) JHS students, fifty (50) teachers, twenty (20) parents, and ten (10) education officers.A comparative analysis of four categories (students, teachers, parents, and education officers) on the impact of teachers’ dressing on students’ performance was performed. The study identified, assessed, and discussed the impact of teachers’ dressing on students’ academic performance in some selected junior high schools in the Oforikrom Municipality. Out of the hypothesis speculated before the investigation, it was established, with p-values greater than 0.05, from a paired two sample T-test analysis that there is a significant effect of teachers’ dressing on students’ performance. The study recommended that teachers should be given a dressing allowance to allow them to purchase appropriate school attire, and the government should institute a non-destructive dress code for teachers. The study will help teachers dress more appropriately and will have a significant impact on the lives of students.","PeriodicalId":505052,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education, Society and Behavioural Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141015334","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}
