International teachers are more likely to renew contracts when there is a reciprocity of trust and respect between faculty and administration, authentic appreciation, strong community and access to quality professional development. Participants value strong, student-centered leadership and philosophical approaches rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion. More research surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion in international schools is required, specifically surrounding administrators and the lack of diversity within international school leadership.","PeriodicalId":89971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education and training studies","volume":"44 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141805486","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}

Methods: Peer-reviewed articles published between 2012 and 2022 were identified via independent systematic searches using the databases Academic Search Complete, ERIC, Education Source, and APA PsycInfo. The articles included in this scoping were coded using a data extraction form developed for specifically for this study. Results: In the 56 articles selected, 33 reported forward translation; the analyses and findings of this scoping review were based on these 33. 30% of the articles did not report any methods of quality control methods. The most used quality control methods were back-translation only, and back-translation and expert review. 42% specified at what point the target population was included in the adaption process, and the preference was during pilot testing and focus groups. Regarding translators, 7 articles indicated the tools were translated by the researchers, 10 by independent bilinguals, and 3 utilized a team in the translation process. Conclusion: While cultural relevance and appropriateness were emphasized in these articles, there is limited information reported on what this process entailed. There were no specific or general guidelines reported. More focus should be placed on developing a culturally relevant protocol and related guidelines for the translation and adaptation process of assessment tools.","PeriodicalId":89971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education and training studies","volume":"83 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141657695","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 humanistic approach to education is demanded. The focus on the individual student and their emotional and spiritual needs is essential if an active deep learner experience is to be created.This paper aims to explore the integration of Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) within Focusing, Interacting, Reviewing, Sequencing, Transforming-Active Deep Learner eXperience Framework (FIRST-ADLX Framework) and investigate the framework’s capacity to effectively incorporate the latest technology while prioritizing the learners’ needs and promoting responsible and ethical use of AI in education. By embedding ChatGPT within a comprehensive, holistic, and humanized Framework that prioritizes pedagogy over technology and focuses on the learner rather than on the digital tool, it becomes possible to create an immersive and impactful ADLX. This ensures that the technology used enhances the learner’s experience and does not overshadow it. Furthermore, the study shows how the implementation of the domains and principles of FIRST-ADLX Framework can maximize the benefits of ChatGPT in particular, encourages facilitators and learners to embrace AI technologies as valuable tools and resources, and supports both in utilizing AI ethically, responsibly, and appropriately.The study adopts a qualitative auto-ethnographic approach where data is collected from the facilitator’s personal diary, observations, participants’ comments, and assessments furthermore, this study offers a more objective perspective and embraces descriptive quantitative methods to analyze the results of formative quizzes and the final summative assessment. This approach aims to emphasize the importance of integrating AI within a comprehensive and humanistic framework, avoiding its random use and ensuring alignment with student-centered principles.","PeriodicalId":89971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education and training studies","volume":"132 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141656640","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 purpose of the study was to evaluate whether an association existed between interview setting and applicant characteristics, specifically focusing on the difference in the interview score between applicants who chose virtual interviews and those who chose in-person interviews.Methods: Demographic and admission data were obtained from the 101 interviewed candidates from the XXXX 2021-2022 application cycle. Distribution of demographics and interview preference were assessed. Simple and multiple generalized linear models (GLM) were run to examine the difference in the applicants’ interview score between in-person and virtual interviews.Results: Of the 29 in-person interviews, 16 (55.17%) were offered acceptances, while 31 (43.06%) of the 72 virtual interviews were accepted, a difference that was not statistically significant (p-value = 0.380). Preference for the interview format was not associated with any of the applicants’ factors including gender, current residence (the four bureau-designated regions), overall grade point average (GPA), science GPA, Dental Admissions Test (DAT) Academic Average score, and perceptual ability test (PAT) score. In addition, there was no statistical difference in the interview score between the two interview formats.Conclusions: The effect of virtual interviewing on interview scores and applicants’ admission rate was found to be statistically insignificant. If further study with larger sample sizes confirms this finding, virtual interviewing could be considered as a viable alternative to in-person interviewing in the dental school admissions process.","PeriodicalId":89971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education and training studies","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141358042","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}

However, the very essence of education has undergone significant changes. In the era spanning from the 1980s to the mid-1990s, the primary aim of education was to serve economic construction and modern development, with a clear emphasis on utilitarian and instrumental characteristics. By the late 1990s, there was a shift towards advocating for quality education that prioritizes the comprehensive development of individuals, gradually embracing the concept of holistic education across the Chinese mainland. College English courses, mandatory for all non-English major undergraduates at Chinese universities, stand as a pivotal component of general education. Amidst the extensive backdrop of educational reform and development in mainland China, college English curriculum have experienced profound changes. The “College English Curriculum Guidelines (2020)” recently released by the Ministry of Education highlights that college English courses possess both instrumental and humanistic dimensions. The instrumental aspect is demonstrated through enhancing students’ comprehensive abilities in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translating English, while its humanistic core is rooted in a people-oriented approach that celebrates human values and emphasizes the cultivation of comprehensive qualities and overall development. This paper aims to explore the practical model of implementing holistic education within college English curriculum, adhering to the specific requirements of the 2020 guidelines, across four dimensions: curriculum system, instructional approaches, educational resources, and faculty strength.","PeriodicalId":89971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education and training studies","volume":"299 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141012445","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}

Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to assess the construct validity of the scale. The results of the exploratory factor analysis for the items of ASBPNSS revealed three factors: autonomy, relatedness, and competence. Confirmatory factor analysis supported this structure. The three factors collectively explained the overall structure with a total variance of 58.061%. Criterion-related validity was also examined for validity purposes. Internal consistency was assessed for the reliability of the scale, yielding an internal consistency coefficient of .82.
