Educational research is a type of systematic investigation that applies empirical methods to solving challenges in
education. It adopts rigorous and well-defined scientific processes to gather and analyze data for problem-solving
and knowledge advancement.
Why educational research is conducted?
The purpose of educational research is to develop new knowledge about the teaching-learning situation to
improve educational practice. Research in education has enabled significant progress to be made in curriculum
development and reform, educating learners with difficulties, understanding the individual differences and
preferences and in adapting methods of instruction to the needs of individual learners.

Essential Elements for Optimising the Pedagogical FrameworkAJHSSR Journal
Pedagogy links theories and beliefs about teaching and learning to teaching practice in a
consistent and coherent way. The two broad concepts of teaching and learning have the clearest lines moving to
pedagogical applications. To achieve these values, effective teaching must be practiced by having teachers and
students work together. Educators must use various teaching methods in order for the students to have the
interest to learn and motivated to participate in class. The study aims to achieving an educational pedagogical
framework build on educational practice and experiences taken into consideration the feedback and feedforward
obtaining by the students during the course study and after the graduation. To sum up, the framework is
a continuous process that should be regularly reviewed and monitored. Staff/student liaison encourages the
mechanism of Feedback and feed-forward by obtaining students` feedback and communicating action taken in
response to feedback. To ensure validity and enable reliability of assessments, teaching objectives, modules and
learning outcomes must be analysed to establish the most appropriate assessment and feedback methods. The
HEI should encourage opportunities for staff to build good links with industry, government and employers so
that staff can contribute their knowledge to relevant partners in business and industry to benefit from the
opportunities of continuing professional development.

Critical thinking of students is needed in 21st century learning, the fact is the acquisition in the field is still low. Therefore this study aims to improve students' critical thinking skills using the inquiry model assisted with the ethnoconstructivism module. Methodology uses a quantitative design of a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design with a total sample of 64 students taken by purposive sampling technique. There were significant differences in terms of students' critical thinking between the control class and the experimental class. It can be underlined that the inquiry model with ethnoconstructivism has a significant influence on the way students think about cultural values compared to traditional groups.
Formative Assessment as an Essential Competence of University Teachersiosrjce
: In the framework of a competency-based education, teachers require to acquire previously the
formative assessment as a fundamental task to develop an educational process of higher quality. In this article
the complexity of the educational act is analyzed from a socio-cultural approach, presenting the theoretical
bases that support a continuous and ongoing evaluation of student performance. It is highlighted the role of
teachers in order to help students to achieve their learning objectives and it is promoted a comprehensive
evaluation, where self-assessment, peer assessment and hetero assessment are essential stages for feedback of
the teaching-learning-processes. The evaluation will be useful when strengths and weaknesses of the
educational process could be determined holistically, to consolidate and transfer strengths to other areas or
contexts overcoming weaknesses and shortcomings in time, before the end of the semester. It is recommended
that university teachers develop the competence of formative assessment so that they are in a position to redirect
scientific discourse to a scenario in which the educational process unfolds. For this, the teacher needs to
assume its role as a mediator of knowledge, so that the course contents are understood and assimilated by the
student.
This document summarizes research on teacher preparation and effectiveness. It finds that high-quality teacher preparation helps develop essential teaching knowledge and skills, increases student achievement, and reduces teacher turnover. Studies show that subject knowledge alone is not enough to be an effective teacher - pedagogical training is also important. The research supports comprehensive teacher preparation programs and professional standards to ensure teacher quality.
Factors Affecting the Utilization or Non-Utilization of the Portfolio Assessm...INFOGAIN PUBLICATION
This study involved an investigation of the factors that affect the utilization or non-utilization of portfolio assessment in evaluating performance in mathematics of both college and high school students from De La Salle Lipa. Thirty-five teachers were asked to accomplish two validated brief surveys – one is for gathering information about their profile and the other is for probing into the different assessment tools they are using to evaluate the performance of their students in mathematics. Out of the 35 respondents, only 9 were using portfolio assessment either in the form of report of group project, open-ended questions, or draft, revised and final versions of students work on a complex mathematical problem. The demand for considerable time in planning instructional activities and development of grading rubrics or criteria were among the limiting factors identified by the 26 respondents for not using portfolio assessment. Among the alternative forms of assessment used by these teachers were KPUP (Knowledge, Process, Understanding and Product) Oriented, UbD (Understanding by Design) approach, and online assessment tools.
This document discusses standards for education systems including curriculum standards, pedagogical approaches, professional standards, and assessment and evaluation standards. It addresses defining what students should know and be able to do. Standards are level-specific descriptions of expected achievements but do not specify how knowledge and skills should be taught. The document also discusses relationships between standards, lessons, assessments, and organizing curriculums in schools.
Attitude of lecturers towards student’s evaluation of their teaching effectiv...Alexander Decker
This document discusses a study on lecturers' attitudes toward student evaluations of teaching effectiveness in Nigerian universities. The study surveyed 490 lecturers across disciplines and universities in southern Nigeria. Key findings include:
1) Most lecturers (66%) had a positive attitude toward student evaluations, while 34% had a negative attitude.
2) Gender and age significantly influenced attitudes, with differences found between male and female lecturers and younger and older lecturers.
3) Professional status and discipline did not significantly impact attitudes.
4) Teaching experience did significantly influence attitudes, with more experienced lecturers having more negative views of student evaluations.
The study concludes that while most Nigerian lecturers support the concept
This document discusses challenges in defining effective teaching. It notes that effective teaching requires criteria related to educational objectives, which can vary over time and place. Common objectives include promoting cognitive development and literacy. Definitions of effective teaching often focus on student outcomes or teacher behaviors that promote outcomes. The review examines perspectives and evidence from inspections, teachers, principals, and students. It also explores characterizing effective practices and measuring teacher impacts considering school and departmental contexts.
The document summarizes a seminar on pupil engagement and gains. It discusses how pupil gains were conceptualized more broadly than just cognitive measures to include social and subject-based gains. Presentations explored the relationship between teacher learning and pupil gains, insights from educational initiatives in Alberta, and structural barriers to increasing pupil gains. Key themes that emerged were the importance of relationships, shifting to a new culture where teachers feel empowered, and exploring broader forms of evidence beyond standardized tests. In conclusion, conceptualizing pupil gains fully requires a holistic, systemic approach that considers multiple interrelated factors within and beyond the classroom.
The document summarizes findings from a case study on attributes of quality programs in universities in Ecuador. It identifies 13 attributes grouped into 5 clusters:

2. Learning-centered cultures developed through shared program direction between stakeholders and real-world experiences. These improved student direction and skills.
3. Interactive teaching and learning using integrative and tutoring methods. Students benefited with improved problem-solving and communication skills.
4. Connected program requirements like breadth of courses and tangible projects. Students became deeper and more analytical thinkers.
5. Adequate resources for students, faculty
This document summarizes a qualitative study that investigated excellent teachers' beliefs about the qualities of a good teacher. Six excellent teachers from various schools were interviewed. The key findings that emerged from the interviews were:
1) Teachers believed that a good teacher's personality, including having a warm and approachable demeanor, is more important than their knowledge.
2) A student-centered approach is important, where teachers address different learning styles, needs, potentials, and paces of individual students.
3) Nurturing students through empathy, kindness, encouragement, and parental involvement is important for building trust and motivating learning.
4) Maintaining a high level of professionalism through strong content knowledge, ped
LEARNER-CENTERED TEACHING: THE STUDENTS’ LEVEL OF LEARNING SKILLS AND STRATEGIESijejournal
Students are challenged to develop their own learning skills and strategies for life-long learning. With this,
the study investigated and analyzed the level of learning skills and strategies of the students in relation to
the extent of implementation of learner-centered teaching in the classroom. This study conducted a survey
in a high school institution where 900 students from first year to fourth year levels were considered as
respondents. A survey tool was used to evaluate the students’ level on their learning skills, collaborative
learning, and study skills through learner-centered teaching. It was found out that students rated
themselves as Good in their learning skills and strategies. This leads to enriching more the learning skills
and strategies of the students and providing them more opportunities to be engaged in meaningful activities
from which they develop their own knowledge and skills applicable in their day-to-day lives
This document provides an overview of self-regulated learning (SRL) and its importance within assessment in higher education. It defines SRL as a learner's ability to regulate their learning in pursuit of goals. SRL comprises metacognitive, cognitive and affective dimensions and is a process that is impacted by individual and contextual factors. Developing students' SRL skills is important as SRL relates to academic success. However, translating SRL research into practice has been challenging. This document aims to address that gap by providing guidance on supporting SRL development through assessment design using a Self-Regulatory Skills in Assessment Framework. It emphasizes the need for integrated, transparent approaches and student engagement to effectively promote SRL.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

1. Instrument Validation:
The Impact of Perceived
Instructional Leadership
on Student Engagement
Among the Leaders of
International Secondary
Schools of Jeddah-Saudi
Arabia
Presented By:
Shahzada Khayyam Nisar
Supervisor:
Prof. Dr. Teoh Sian Hoon
2. Abstract:
INTRODUCTION/ISSUE: The role of instructional leaders in
encouraging students' interest in learning has grown increasingly
important in the dynamic environment of education, particularly in
light of the problems provided by 21st-century pupils.
OBJECTIVE/AIM OF STUDY: This study aims to investigate the
link between perceived instructional leadership and student
engagement at international secondary schools in Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia.
3. METHODOLOGY/RESEARCH DESIGN:
• The study used a carefully tailored instrument taken from the acclaimed School
Engagement Scale included in the 4-H Study for Positive Youth Development
(Richard, 2005) to address this critical area of exploration.
• The study intends to examine the extent to which instructional leadership
facilitates student engagement by modifying this instrument to correspond with
the educational setting of Jeddah's international secondary schools.
• Three distinguished professionals in the field of education were requested to
offer valuable evaluations and input to ensure the instrument's authenticity and
reliability.
• Their inputs affected the development and validation process greatly, improving
the instrument's efficacy.
FINDINGS/DISCUSSION: The outcomes of this study reveal the updated and
validated instrument, demonstrating its ability to analyse the influence of
instructional leadership on student engagement in the Jeddah setting.
Abstract:
4. • Student engagement is defined as the degree of interest,
motivation, and active participation in learning activities. It requires
pupils to be completely committed in the learning process.
• Student engagement has been linked to a variety of educational
outcomes, including academic achievement, cognitive
development, and overall school success.
• Student engagement is impacted by a variety of elements,
including instructional methodologies, classroom environment,
teacher-student interactions, and students' unique qualities.
Student Engagement:
5. • Educational professionals who supervise and support teachers
in delivering high-quality instruction are known as instructional
leaders. They work with teachers to establish an atmosphere
that promotes effective instruction and student performance.
• Instructional leaders have a key role in engaging students in
their studies. Further study is required to uncover viable
techniques and approaches to engage 21st-century students in
the learning process.
Instructional Leader:
6. • Researchers adapt instruments to better suit the unique
environment or population of interest. This may involve
translating the instrument into a foreign language or making
cultural changes.
• Same has been done for this research. The original instrument
has been modified as per requirement and culture of Saudi
Arabia.
• The instrument is then validated by three experts from the same
domain selected worldwide.
Instrument Adaptation:
7.
8. Purpose and Significance:
• This research paper describes the validation of a modified
instrument for international secondary school leaders in Jeddah
to assess the influence of perceived instructional leadership on
student engagement.
• This research paper validates an instrument on instructional
leadership and student engagement in an international school
environment. The findings will provide significant insights for
educational leaders.
9. Dimension / Variable:
• The questionnaire contains a substantial number of items for
both Emotional Engagement and Cognitive Engagement
dimensions. It is recommended to limit the number of items for
each dimension to a reasonable range, preferably around 7-8
items.
• A pilot study can be conducted to assess the reliability and
validity of the questionnaire, and to identify any items that may
not perform well.
10. Definition Alignment:
• To ensure that each item accurately measures the intended
dimension, it is vital to cross-reference each item with the
dimension's definition.
• The high number of items in a questionnaire may result in
respondent fatigue and decreased motivation to provide
thoughtful responses, thereby compromising the data's quality.
11. Research Framework Alignment:
• Researchers should align the questionnaire closely with the
research framework to ensure the data collected from the
survey provides valuable insights into the role of educational
leaders in student engagement among international schools in
Jeddah.
12. Measurement of Student Engagement:
• The 2nd expert makes a valid point regarding the measurement
of student engagement. A new questionnaire should be
developed to measure student engagement and should
consider the unique aspects of student experiences and
perceptions.
• So, there could be 2 instruments; one for educational leaders
and one for students.
• The comparison of 2 can reflect the effect of perceived
instructional leadership on student engagement.
13. Rigorous Validation Process:
• The instrument has undergone a comprehensive validation and
verification process for grammar and composition, which
ensures its readability and coherence.
• The expert acknowledged the appropriate use of language and
relevant educational terminology in the survey, which enhanced
its suitability for the targeted audience.
14. Suggestions for Further
Refinement:
The expert's validation
comments suggest further
refining the questionnaire by
including response options,
including open-ended ones, and
clarifying certain phrases or
concepts.
15. Themes:
• Experts recommend streamlining the questionnaire and
ensuring consistency in the number of items, and a separate
instrument for student engagement.
• Expert 1 and Expert 3 recognize the use of appropriate
language and educational terminology in the questionnaire.
16. Discussion:
• Expert 1 suggested to include response options and conduct a
pilot study, and Expert 3 suggested to incorporate open-ended
response options.
• The questionnaire was well-designed by combining the insights
from all three experts and was well-tailored to the research
context. The findings will offer valuable insights to improve
educational practices and promote student engagement in
diverse educational settings.
17. Instrument Analysis:
• This research paper presents a comprehensive analysis of 97
questions from an adapted instrument designed to assess the
role of instructional leaders in promoting student engagement in
international schools in Jeddah.
• An instrument with high validity and reliability is essential to
evaluate instructional leaders' influence on student engagement
among international schools in Jeddah.
• The initial instrument consisted of 97 questions, 46 of which
required no change, and 51 of which were modified based on
expert feedback.
18. Conclusion:
• A well-designed and robust questionnaire incorporating teacher
and student perspectives can be created to evaluate the role of
instructional leaders in promoting student engagement among
international schools in Jeddah.
When conducting research, it is easy to go to one source: Wikipedia. However, you need to include a variety of sources in your research. Consider the following sources:
Who can I interview to get more information on the topic?
Is the topic current and will it be relevant to my audience?
What articles, blogs, and magazines may have something related to my topic?
Is there a YouTube video on the topic? If so, what is it about?
What images can I find related to the topic?
Once you find your sources, you will want to evaluate your sources using the following questions:
Author:
Who is the author?
Why should I believe what he or she has to say on the topic?
Is the author seen as an expert on the topic? How do you know?
Current:
How current is the information in the source?
When was the source published?
Is the information out of date?
Accuracy:
Is the content accurate?
Is the information presented objectively? Do they share the pros and cons?
After consulting a variety of sources, you will need to narrow your topic. For example, the topic of internet safety is huge, but you could narrow that topic to include internet safety in regards to social media apps that teenagers are using heavily. A topic like that is more specific and will be relevant to your peers. Some questions to think about to help you narrow your topic:
What topics of the research interest me the most?
What topics of the research will interest my audience the most?
What topics will the audience find more engaging? Shocking? Inspiring?
Now, that you have narrowed your topic, you will want to organise your research in a structure that works. There are some common organisational patterns based on the kind of research you are doing.
Organisational Structures:
Cause and Effect- this kind of structure is great for explaining the causes and effects of a topic
Compare and Contrast- in this pattern you highlight the similarities and differences of the topic
Explain process- this structure is great for outlining a series of steps to follow;
Definition- if you want to make sure your audience understands what something is using illustrations, meanings, clarifying misconceptions, you may want to use this structure
Classification- a common organisational structure is grouping like topics or facts from the research together. For instance, in the internet safety about social media apps, you may organise the research where you look at each social media app one at a time
After you’ve done your research, it’s time to put your presentation together. The first step in the process is to introduce the topic. This is a great time to connect your topic to something that your audience can relate. In other words, why should they listen to all the information you will be sharing in your research presentation? What is in it for them? You may also want to include a graphic or image to grab their attention.
Feel free to duplicate this slide by right-clicking on this slide in the slides pane to the left and select Duplicate Slide.
The next step in your presentation is to state your claim or topic clearly. Your teacher may even call this your thesis. As you state your thesis, you may find that this layout is not the best layout for your claim or topic. You can change the layout by clicking the drop-down menu next to the Layout in the Slides menu section. You can choose Two Content, Comparison, or Picture with Caption. Note: A different layout might change the look of the icons on this page.
You will also want to state your facts. You have done the research now share some of the interesting facts with your audience. Facts do not have to be boring; you can communicate facts in a variety of ways by going to the Insert Tab. In the Insert tab you can:
Insert pictures from your computer or online.
Add a chart
Create some SmartArt
Insert a variety of icons to help your facts come to life. Note: You can change the colour of the icons by selecting the icon and then click on the Format tab and then Graphics Fill. From there, you will choose a colour from the list or choose More Fill Colours to give you more options.
Since this research presentation is a result of your hard work and searching, you want to make sure you support the claims or points in your presentation with facts from your research findings. Make sure you give the author proper credit for helping you share your ideas. If one of your sources has a video that is relevant to your topic, you can add the video as added support. Keep in mind the length of the video and the amount of time you have for your presentation. For a 5 minute speech, the video should be no longer than 30 seconds.
Questions to consider:
How will you state the author of the source?
Will you need to cite the source on the slide?
What are some ways you can engage your audience so they feel like they are a part of the presentation? Some ideas to consider is by taking a quick poll like: by a show of hands, how many of you think school uniforms are a way to cut down on bullying? Another suggestion is to have them hold up a certain number of fingers to see if they agree or disagree. Finally, you can share a story that the audience can relate to that makes them laugh.
After all the applause, your audience may have some questions. Be prepared to answer some of their questions by making a list of questions you think they might ask. You may also want to share the presentation with them by providing the link to your presentation, if they want more information.
You can use this slide as your opening or closing slide. Should you choose to use it as a closing, make sure you review the main points of your presentation. One creative way to do that is by adding animations to the various graphics on a slide. This slide has 4 different graphics, and, when you view the slideshow, you will see that you can click to reveal the next graphic. Similarly, as you review the main topics in your presentation, you may want each point to show up when you are addressing that topic.
Add animation to images and graphics:
Select your image or graphic.
Click on the Animations tab.
Choose from the options. The animation for this slide is “Split”. The drop-down menu in the Animation section gives even more animations you can use.
If you have multiple graphics or images, you will see a number appear next to it that notes the order of the animations.
Note: You will want to choose the animations carefully. You do not want to make your audience dizzy from your presentation.
