Abstract

This study aimed to investigate effectiveness of resiliency training in enhancing assertive and self-esteem skills of male sixth-graders studying at all-boys elementary schools in Bandar Abbas. The present study was a pilot field project that included pre-test, post-test, and control group. Research sample consisted of 40 male sixth-graders studying at all-boys elementary schools who were selected and assigned into experimental and control groups based on multistage random sampling technique. Tools of this study included Gambrill-Richey Assertion Inventory and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory and Both experimental and control groups had participated in assertive and self-esteem pretest prior to resiliency training. Then resiliency training was provided for experimental group, but not for control group. Immediately after the completion of training course, post-test was performed for both groups. The results of multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed that resiliency training increases students' self-assertion significantly. Therefore, it can be concluded generally that strengthening and training resiliency skills provoke assertive and self-esteem in students.

Abstract

This quantitative study was an endeavor to generalize the findings of a qualitatively-oriented inquiry of code switching (CS). Therefore, in accordance with the themes and categories of the previous model, that is, 8 themes and 26 categories, a code switching survey consisting of 8 hypothetical factors and 43items was designed. Piloting the survey among 215 EFL learners, it gained acceptable requirements for reliability and validity indices, except for the loading of 4 items that were discarded in the final version of the survey. Subsequently, the 39 item Likert-scale survey was distributed among 418 ELT students. To verify the factor structure of the instrument, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used which verified good fit indices. In addition, the findings showed that a tool for augmenting understanding was the most and teacher code switching as a barrier to learning and communication was the least influential factor of CS. Besides, the results indicated that the following demographic variables (gender, language proficiency, and educational level) but age had significant roles in the overall selection of code switching factors. Also, findings of this study could make it easier for the specialists in the field of educational psychology to fill the gaps of educational problems such as anxiety. So, the results of this study could help the ELT classroom to be a non-threatening place. Finally, it can be implicated that the model can be used in educational settings because it can help both students and teachers to achieve their pedagogic goals.

Abstract

Objective: Since youth should have a chance to interact with society and adapt to roles during adolescence, the media and positive development provide them with this opportunity. This study aims to determine the role of media literacy and positive youth development (PYD) components in social skills and academic adjustment.
Methods: This descriptive study is conducted using multivariate correlation method. The statistical population includes high school students in Bandar Abbas. In total, 373 students (50.06% females and 49.04% males) are selected using random cluster sampling method in 2019-2020 academic year. The participants respond to Falsafi’s media literacy questionnaire (2014), Arnold, Nott and Meinhold’s positive youth development inventory (2012), Inderbitzen and Foster’s teenage inventory of social skills (1992) and Baker and Siryk’s academic adjustment questionnaire (1984). The data are analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression.
Results: The results indicate media literacy components (understanding content, awareness of hidden goals, conscious selection, critical thinking and analyzing) and PYD (competence, confidence, connection, character, caring and contribution) are positively and significantly correlated with social skills and academic adjustment (P<0.01). Among the media literacy components, critical thinking plays the most important role in predicting social skills and academic adjustment. Among PYD components, contribution and competence play the major role in predicting social skills and academic adjustment, respectively.
Conclusions: Therefore, media literacy and PYD could provide the ground for students’ social skills and academic adjustment.

Abstract

Objective: In contemporary organizational discourse, the phenomenon of career plateauing has garnered significant attention and is regarded as an indispensable concern for all institutions. This study has been undertaken with the objective of examining the analytical elements associated with the career plateauing of educational personnel and formulating an appropriate model in this context.
Methods: The methodology employed in this inquiry is predicated on objective criteria within the applied research framework, wherein the classification of data collection temporal criteria aligns with descriptive-relational research, executed through a mixed-method approach to elucidate, describe, and model the phenomenon. The research population, comprising 20 experts, was selected for the model's presentation, while a cohort of 384 individuals was designated for the validation of the model. Factors pertinent to the model were discerned through semi-structured interviews and the grounded theory methodology. Subsequently, the proposed model underwent validation via structural equation modeling techniques. Furthermore, the interrelationships, weight, and prioritization of model factors were determined utilizing fuzzy DEMATEL and analytical network process methodologies.
Results: The findings from this research indicate that the model possesses sufficient validity. In accordance with the factor weighting results, the "career plateau criterion" emerges as a principal factor, while the sub-factors "Burnout," "Beliefs and Islamic values," and "Lack of material and spiritual incentives" exhibit the highest weight and priority, sequentially ranked in terms of significance.
Conclusions: The results of this research may be utilized by administrators and policymakers within the education to mitigate this occurrence and address associated challenges.
