Examining the influence of perceived teaching style on academic burnout

Luky Kurniawan — 2025-07-02

This research aimed to determine the effect of perceived teaching style on academic burnout in vocational high school students. This research was quantitative research with 50 students who were recruited by a non-probability sampling sample technique. The data were collected using a perceived teaching style questionnaire (Alpha Cronbach=0.817) and an academic burnout instrument (Alpha Cronbach=0.804). The data analysis was simple linear regression. The results of the research showed that the significance value was 0.00 (<0.05), and the t value was 12.971; therefore, it was concluded that the hypothesis was accepted. This also meant that that perceived teaching style had a significant effect on academic burnout at vocational high school. Perceived teaching style consisting of voice intonation, material emphasis, pause timing, eye contact, body movements, and changes in position influenced fatigue, cynicism, and decreased professional efficacy. The R square value of 0.778 shows that perceived teaching style influences 77.8% of academic burnout and the remaining 22.2% are influenced by other factors. Eventually, teachers should have variations in teaching styles such as emphasizing voice to convey important material, providing pause time for students to understand the material, and using body movements. Further research could explore more on how to develop expected teaching style that matched with student needs.

Kenna Abarientos — 2025-03-04

This study investigates the phenomenon of culture shock among freshmen students at a Philippine state university, where education is highly valued as both a familial legacy and a personal investment. Using a phenomenological approach, the study explores the lived experiences of ten high-achieving freshmen living independently at a state university in Laguna, Philippines. Thematic analysis reveals profound academic and social challenges impacting students’ academic performance, acculturation, and overall well-being. These challenges include: (1) Navigating a new academic environment and rigor, (2) Mastering time management and navigating lifestyle adjustments, (3) Managing finances and maintaining scholarships, (4) Adapting socially and culturally, (5) Managing expectations and pressure, and (6) Challenges to psychological and emotional well-being. Furthermore, the study identifies key coping strategies employed by these students, including seeking support networks – family, friends, peers, organizations, and scholarships – and developing personal adaptive mechanisms, primarily relying on self-help. These findings highlight the multifaceted nature of culture shock and offer valuable insights for university policies aimed at supporting incoming students’ cultural and academic adjustment.

How project-based collaborative learning affect on numeracy ability of elementary school teacher education students

Ni Luh Sakinah Nuraini — 2025-01-30

Based on project-based collaborative learning, this study attempts to evaluate the numeracy skills of prospective elementary education teachers. The study design is pretest-posttest control group, and the research methodology is experimental and quantitative. Purposive sampling strategies are used to create experimental and control classes.While project assignments are completed individually in the control class, they are administered in groups to the experimental class. Ten multiple-choice and yes-or-no (objective) questions are used in the pre-test and post-test results to gather information on students' numeracy proficiency. Project-based collaborative learning research findings are applied to enhance the numeracy skills of prospective elementary education teachers. The score's outcomes after acquiring the experimental class were 0.001 and The experimental class used group projects, while the control class used individual projects. The control class's pre-test and post-test collaborative learning results differed by less than 0.001.

Hari Purnomo Susanto — 2025-01-30

Regression analysis is a statistical technique frequently employed across diverse disciplines utilizing SPSS. Users lacking a robust basis in regression and infrequently utilizing SPSS will experience anxiety. Anxiety will be intensified by the interpretation of the analysis results. This work aims to create user-friendly statistical software for regression analysis, requiring little configuration and capable of interpreting analytical results. This study employed the SCLD development model. This paradigm comprises five stages: Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, and System. The produced software is titled Simple Statistical Software series Regression Analysis, abbreviated as 3S-AR. The development yielded the 3S-AR program, which possesses functionality for regression analysis. The validation of development results was conducted by comparing the outcomes of 3S-AR analysis with those obtained from SPSS software. 3S-AR provides numerous advantages. Initially, it was user-friendly, and minimal configuration was required. A single analysis can present the outcomes of the regression analysis alongside all relevant assumptions. Secondly, the capability to offer an interpretation of the analytical findings. Third, if an analysis is incomplete, it can offer recommendations on the user's next steps. Fourth, it is complimentary. The development outcomes can facilitate users in conducting regression analysis with ease, particularly for individuals lacking a robust statistical background and proficiency in regression analysis tools.
