By conducting an intensive survey, it offers insights into the current status of STEM education and highlights the perceptions and difficulties faced by educators in adopting STEM methodologies. The study reveals that while there's an increasing recognition of the importance of STEM in the natural sciences curriculum, several obstacles impede its full implementation. A significant challenge is the difficulty in correlating real-world issues with natural science subjects, making it tough for educators to make lessons engaging and relevant. Furthermore, the lack of appropriate educational tools and materials, combined with inadequate infrastructural facilities in schools, further hampers the quality of teaching. Moreover, the research identifies a gap in the training of educators. Many teachers are unfamiliar with STEM, lacking both understanding and confidence in the approach. This is exacerbated by time constraints in the classroom and insufficient support from parents. Additionally, the paper points out that only a limited number of natural science topics can be aptly integrated into STEM projects, creating a narrower scope for educators. To address these challenges, the paper suggests the need for better training for teachers specifically tailored to STEM requirements, more substantial institutional support, and fostering a closer relationship between STEM education and the broader natural sciences curriculum.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":93285,"journal":{"name":"European journal of education studies","volume":" August","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139618312","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}

Findings revealed a high level of self-efficacy, a very high level of job performance, and high levels of transformational leadership and organizational commitment. There is a strong, positive, and significant correlation between self-efficacy and organizational commitment; job performance and organizational commitment; and transformational leadership and organizational commitment. Further results showed that the best-fit model was model 3 showing the direct causal relationships of Self-Efficacy, Job Performance, and Transformational Leadership Style on Organizational Commitment. Moreover, the Organizational Commitment of the respondents was defined by the retained indicators, namely: Affective Commitment and Individual Performance. Self-efficacy was described with the following retained indicators: Disciplinary Self-efficacy, and Creative Positive School Climate. On the other hand, Job performance was described in terms of the indicators Workload and Working Environment. Finally, Transformational Leadership retained the following indicators: Political Skill Inventory, and Perception of Relational Uncertainty. Findings suggest that the policy-making body of the Department of Education should look into the provision of professional development, workload allocations, and benefits of the teachers to further improve their organizational commitment.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":93285,"journal":{"name":"European journal of education studies","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139529958","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 sample consists of students in pre-school education who experienced the pandemic and the changes it brought about during their undergraduate studies. The research data was collected through an anonymous questionnaire followed by a thematic content analysis. From the qualitative data analysis pertaining to the way in which the pandemic affected the respondents’ perception of themselves as a prospective teacher, four categories emerged: i. Changes and Transformations, ii. Loss/Absence, iii. Long Distance Technology, and iv. Experience. It becomes clear that respondents seem to perceive themselves as educators through coping with the changes they face, through utilizing new technologies, and through gaining experience or even lacking it. However, a notable finding of this research is the future perspective and further capitalizing on the experience the students went through. In some cases, this experience is seen as usable in similar circumstances in the future, while in others it is deemed as an all-purpose tool enabling them to overcome any kind of challenge. This research paper aims to contribute with its own approach to a more profound understanding of how the changes experienced by students in times of change and challenge are seen as something of value in reference to their identity.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":93285,"journal":{"name":"European journal of education studies","volume":" 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139626186","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}

Major published articles on English language described the upsurge of its speakers in the expanding circle as phenomenal. Morocco is no exception. Studies have shown that there has been a growing interest in learning English among youth. By the same token, students have been less enthusiastic about French currently used in academic settings and believe that English is more useful for the future of the country. In order to test the validity of the claim, quantitative research in which ninety-eight university students from different master’s program participated was conducted. The aim was to know their attitude towards making English the medium of instruction in higher education and either confirm or disconfirm the claim made by researchers in scholarly journals. After undertaking a survey questionnaire, it was shown that the vast majority of postgraduates specializing in scientific disciplines were in favor of using English in their studies. They definitely wanted English to take over French currently used in academic context in Morocco.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":93285,"journal":{"name":"European journal of education studies","volume":" 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139625995","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 research was carried out with the students at Necmettin Erbakan University, Ahmet Keleşoğlu Faculty of Education (Geography 17, Biology 26, History 47) and Faculty of Health Sciences (Nutrition and Dietetics Department 74) in the spring term of 2021-2022 academic year. The research group consisted of a total of 164 students (124 female, 40 male). The data of the research were collected by qualitative research method and the research was organized in a phenomenological design. To determine the perceptions of the students about the concept of climate change, a semi-structured form containing the expression \"climate change is like............because.........\" was prepared and the students were asked to complete the sentence given in the form. The data obtained were subjected to content analysis. Tables were created by calculating the number of metaphors in each category, how many students repeated the metaphor (frequency), and percentage values. When the findings of the research are evaluated, it is seen that a total of 96 valid metaphors were produced by the students. These metaphors were coded by considering their common features and 8 different conceptual categories were formed. Some of these categories are \"Climate change leading to uncertainty\", \"Climate change as a symptom of danger/worry\", \"Climate change as the beginning of change\", \"Climate change as the work of insensitivity\", \"Climate change as a factor forcing to get used to the new situation\", \"Climate change with a disruptive effect\", \"Climate change as a cause of despair\", \"Climate change as a source of different thoughts\", and the number of metaphor and frequencies of these categories are calculated and given in tables. When the findings obtained are analyzed, it is seen that the most recurrent metaphor for climate change includes concepts such as human (f=5), mental state (f=4), life (f=3), a sick body (f=3), disappointment (f=3), cancer (f=3), extinction (f=4), moving (f=4), disaster (f=3), end of the world (f=3), and chaos (f=2). When the metaphor produced by the students in this study are analyzed, it is seen that the perceptions of university students about the concept of climate change are diverse and rich.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":93285,"journal":{"name":"European journal of education studies","volume":"84 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139630548","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 utilised an exploratory qualitative research design based on interviews and observation to explore how the deaf-blind learner navigated university life. The study found that the challenges experienced by all stakeholders included a lack of knowledge and understanding about deaf-blindness, communication challenges, inadequate preparation of educators/teachers and resource persons, lack of support structures for all stakeholders, and the time-consuming nature needed to educate the deaf-blind learner. The study recommends continuous in-service training on basic knowledge of deaf-blindness, instructional and socially inclusive strategies, and communication modes for deaf-blind learners for all stakeholders. A collaborative team approach to delivering training and inclusive education that involves all stakeholders is necessary. The study concludes that if lecturers of learners who are deaf-blind are provided with the necessary training on the skills and knowledge of facilitating communication with their students, this would, in turn, contribute positively towards teaching and learning.  Article visualizations:","PeriodicalId":93285,"journal":{"name":"European journal of education studies","volume":"15 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139631058","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}
