The SPSS macro program Model 4 was used to identify mediating mechanisms. Study findings were as follows: (1) MVS was positively correlated with both OST and LB, but negatively correlated with gratitude. (2) OST was positively correlated with LB, while gratitude was negatively correlated with LB. (3) The impact of MVS on pre-service teachers' LB was simultaneously mediated by OST and gratitude. MVS not only directly predicts pre-service teachers' LB, but also influences LB through the independent mediators of OST and gratitude.","PeriodicalId":89971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education and training studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46050459","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}

Yet, little is understood about the interaction between feedback and high/low implementing teachers within coaching sessions. This multiple case study explored the types of feedback literacy coaches provided both high and low implementing teachers over a two-year period. In the first year, the literacy coaches provided at least twice as much instructional feedback as emotional feedback to low-implementing teachers. Those teachers not only received more feedback in general, but the feedback they received was primarily what they needed to do to improve. In contrast, during the same period literacy coaches provided high-implementing teachers more emotional feedback than instructional feedback. Low implementation, or resistance, observed in this study may have been tied to the overwhelming amount and type of feedback the low implementing teachers received. Coaches seeking to enhance instructional practices could benefit from attending to the amount and type of feedback they provide their learners.

Even in the field of business intercultural learning is equally vital domestically and internationally (Bennett, J. M. 2008). Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is a methodology in teaching and learning that continues to grow in use and can aid in filling this intercultural gap. The methodological COIL approach aids to building cultural competency and partnerships in the higher education community. Throughout this collaborative manuscript between three instructors at two universities, Nottingham Trent University (NTU) in the United Kingdom and University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) in the United States, discussions will be around the pedagogy of carrying out a COIL module and how COIL was completed in the Fall semester of 2021. Over the course of four weeks, NTU and UMD students worked together to complete key learning objectives of healthcare systems, alternative care, and COVID-19 response in the United Kingdom and the United States. NTU and UMD used technology such as Google My Maps, video recording presentations, and interview questions to further the learning around the key objectives. NTU and UMD each had separate final projects and grading rubrics for final grading and evaluation. Pre-and post-assessment data was collected to better understand student learning outcomes including, cultural learning and cross-cultural ambivalence within the COIL unit. The assessments also provided an overview of future considerations for the collaboration between future instructors in the COIL unit based on student feedback.","PeriodicalId":89971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education and training studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41687275","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 leaves a large group of individuals medically vulnerable, limiting the health of the nation. Achieving health equity requires intentional, mindful, action from leaders, physicians, community partners, business executives, and all those impacted by inequity. As part of a collaboration between the Feagin Leadership Program (FLP) at the Duke University School of Medicine and the Augustus A. White III Institute for Healthcare Equity (AAWI) in Boston, we orchestrated a Health Equity Leadership forum. The resulting discussion brought forth several key actionable solutions to improving health equity, specifically in the field of medical education. It is our hope that by shedding light on this pilot collaborative effort and sharing the actionable outputs from the forum, we can inspire and empower intentional leaders to utilize this model to make changes towards equitable healthcare today.","PeriodicalId":89971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education and training studies","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89551390","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}

Motor, process, and social interaction performance skill training is therefore part of contemporary occupational therapy (OT) training. Also prioritized is building awareness of cultural, social and economic diversity, inequity and the need for inclusion and representation within the OT profession. The US OT Practice Framework emphasizes the embeddedness of clients and their activities in personal and sociocultural contexts.Less attention has been paid to the learning process, self-organization, and self-efficacy of diverse OT students as they prepare for hands-on interventions with future clients. Minimal literature is available about their own somatic awareness and embodied understanding of the motor skills they teach their clients. A decade of observing clinical labs at historically Black Howard University (HU), and a recent survey of HU OT students, reveal their quest for embodied motor learning, and for guidance in organizing kinesthetically for client encounters.Researching these observed and voiced needs stimulated the development of the Embedded and Embodied Motor Skill Curriculum (EEMSC). The curriculum is grounded in evidence-based OT research and in the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education.The Kern 6-Step Approach to curriculum design was used to develop the program. It is envisioned that applying somatic learning in clinical interventions with underserved population will be empowering and enabling for both OTs and their clients and contribute to the process of knowledge translation between practice and research.","PeriodicalId":89971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education and training studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42276901","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 study is driven by the assumption that IT supports EFL teachers a great deal in reducing their TTT in their classes. And the study aims at identifying the extent to which IT could support teachers in reducing their teacher talk and in facilitating more of their students’ talk.
