“…Loneliness is the painful experience of emotional and social disconnect [26,27], which has shown to increase interest in social interactions [24]. Therefore, we hypothesize that individuals experiencing loneliness should engage more in social interactions through social media [28], and should be less concerned about social distancing, reporting lower levels with regard to safety-related behaviors. Moreover, loneliness is an assumed predictor for behavioral disengagement [29].…”

From anxiety to action—Experience of threat, emotional states, reactance, and action preferences in the early days of COVID-19 self-isolation in Germany and Austria

The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted everyday life virtually everywhere in the world, enabling real-life research on threat-and-defense processes. In a survey conducted within the first days of implementing social distancing measures in Austria and Germany, we aimed to explore the pathways from threat perception to preferences of defense strategies. We found that anxiety, approach-related affect, and reactance were specifically elicited by motivational (vs. epistemic) discrepancies. In a second step, we tested the mediating effect of anxiety, approach-related affect, and reactance on preferences regarding personal-social and concrete-abstract defenses. Experiencing anxiety was related to interest in security-related actions, and approach-affect was related to both personal projects and social media use. Participants experiencing reactance were more inclined to pursue personal projects (personal-abstract) and less interested in security-related (personal-concrete) actions. They also showed marginally lower system justification (social-abstract). Additionally, we examined the relationship of loneliness with defense strategies, showing that loneliness was associated with lower system justification and security behaviors. The results suggest that individuals deal with threat in their own ways, mostly depending on affective state and motivational orientation: Anxiety was related to security, approach-state to action (both social and personal), reactance to derogation of the system and disregard for security, while loneliness was associated with inaction.

The purpose of the study is to assess the readiness of future mathematics teachers to use digital educational resources and analyze their efficiency in the study of geometry in Kazakh universities. The relevance of the study is due to the lack of serious scientific research and reliable data on the effectiveness of using digital educational resources as part of studying mathematical disciplines. An experimental study of the readiness of students majoring in mathematics to use digital educational resources in the study of geometry is carried out based on the Auezov South Kazakhstan University at the Mathematics Department of the Faculty of Natural and Pedagogical Sciences. As part of the experimental work, in the 2020-2021 academic year, an experimental group of 49 students and a control group of 51 students, a total of 100 people, were formed from first-year students in the 6B01510 Mathematics educational program. The main objective of the experimental study was to determine the efficiency of students' learning with and without the adoption of digital educational resources in the educational process.The survey method is employed to assess students' psychological readiness to use digital educational resources and the level of the development of their motives to do so. The methods of educational testing and methodological experiment are used to establish the effectiveness of digital educational resources in the university study of geometry.Since the readiness of future mathematics teachers to use and implement digital educational resources in the learning process is found to be high at the first stage of the study, it is deemed necessary to conduct a methodological experiment on the implementation of digital educational resources in the learning process.As part of the five-semester-long methodological experiment, students in the experimental group were taught with the use of digital educational resources, while the control group students

“…More to this, quality teachers have as primary interest, to produce good students (Azer, 2005;Rice, 2003) and make the most significant impact in their student's life's (Gurney, 2007) by creating environments that are conducive to learning, provoking critical thinking, fostering self-directed learning, monitoring students' progress and raising their curiosity, while promoting teamwork (Barrows, 1996). They possess knowledge and skills in: academic reading, writing and mathematics, a good knowledge of the subject content they teach, are well grounded in pedagogy and hands-on teaching skills (Darling-Hammond & Youngs, 2002) and possess a combination of competencies, skills or special attributes which contributes to effective teaching (Sahin & Adiguzel, 2014;Wenglinsky, 2000). Green et al (2018) provides three interconnected dimensions of quality teachers that are observable through classroom practice.…”

Teacher quality remains an important subject for debate and the role of TVET in reducing unemployment and facilitating sustainable development cannot be overemphasized. Here, we present a critical engagement with the literature on teacher quality; the quality of TVET courses and the implications these have for sustainable development. First, we trace the policy background and motivations that led to the introduction of TVET in Cameroon. Next a critical examination of what counts as teacher quality and yardsticks for defining teacher quality is provided. Further, there is a discussion on what TVET teacher training programs need, to be considered qualitative. Finally, focus is on the major issues in TVET teacher supply and quality, current pathways to TVET teaching in Cameroon, the resulting challenges and benchmarks. To ensure that Cameroon has suitably-skilled human capital, it is suggested that if diligently considered, the benchmarks could assist policy makers to design and implement quality TVET policies following the five steps proposed by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. These include, evaluating the existing situation of the TVET system, developing a strategy to reform the system, implementing the strategy, evaluating the impact and continuous monitoring and evaluation of performance in the sector.
