“…In concordance with a recent study [13], the issues of time management, technology, parents, balancing home and teaching, and lack of resources were reflected in the current concerns of these groups of teachers. Another recent study [36] also indicated that early year teachers have transferable interdisciplinary skills that are valued in many private sectors, such as group training and human resources. In line with social cognitive career and motivation theory [14][15][16], these groups of highly skilled participants tended to work in the private sector due to financial considerations.…”

A shortage of qualified teachers has been a long-term problem in many school districts and education systems internationally. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the current human resource gap in teaching significantly impacted the quality of teaching services and the experience of all school parties. Based on social cognitive career and motivation theory, two research questions guided this study: (1) Why did kindergarten teachers decide to leave their teaching positions and education professions permanently during the COVID-19 pandemic? (2) Did stress, burnout, and technology-related issues influence their career decision? 60 kindergarten teachers shared their insights through interviews and focus group activities. The results indicated that personal considerations of their family and trained skills, surrounding environment and individuals, and financial considerations played important roles in their career decisions and sources of stress. The study provides recommendations to government heads, school leaders, human resource planners, and headteachers to replan and reform current human resource and workforce planning for the ongoing teachers’ shortages during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…The use of DRTA has proven to be effective in improving students' reading comprehension, learning motivation, and learning achievement (Erliana, 2011;Maisarah, 2018;Setiartin, 2018). Students who were treated by DRTA showed a better understanding of a reading text and able to make predictions related to the contents of the text (Ardhian et al, 2020). Moreover, DRTA could improve students' reading comprehension and ethical awareness; it allows students to practice their reading skills, go through thinking processes, guess the content of unfamiliar texts, and connect their knowledge and experience to reading (Chaemsai & Rattanavich, 2016).…”

The introduction of multicultural education based on local cultural values and school-level character building in early childhood education is essential so that children can recognize the diversity around them, be it ethnic, ethnic, religious, race, or culture. This field research of early childhood education teachers in Lampung, Indonesia, sought to determine the learning strategies teachers used in implementing multicultural education based on local cultural values and character-building at the level of early childhood education. The study found that teachers in early childhood education used contribution, enrichment, transformation, and problem-based learning strategies. While these four strategies can develop conducive learning conditions that consider students' uniqueness, a teacher needs a clear vision and goals to facilitate multicultural education. Early childhood education must provide knowledge and help develop attitudes and behaviors for all students and school members to foster and implement educational interactions based on multiethnic and multicultural values in the school environment.
