The Impact of Transformational Leaders on Improving Public Schools in Saudi Arabia
No full textThe purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the impact of transformational educational leaders on improving the public school system in Saudi Arabia, in relation to the dimensions of transformational leadership that include school improvement, inspirational motivation, and empowerment. The Saudi Arabian government’s Vision 2030 aims to make monumental leaps in every aspect of the country, including in education, in order to meet global standards by the year 2030. To do that, it is necessary to determine the most efficient methods to transform the Saudi Arabian school system and make it more effective. This study purports that by implementing transformational leadership standards in positions of power, the education system in Saudi Arabia will itself be transformed. To determine whether this hypothesis is correct, the researcher administered surveys to educational leaders within the Najran City District of Saudi Arabia, asking them to rate their answers from 1 to 5 (Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree). IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) used to dissect the data. The researcher then summarized the data and made recommendations about the use of transformational leadership accordingly
Perceptions of Math Teachers of Online Teaching and Learning
No full textK–12 schools were severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing them to adopt online teaching strategies. This study filled a research void by investigating how high school math teachers view online teaching and learning. It expanded online learning research by exploring more high school experiences and offered insight into the experiences of high school math teachers. Despite the quick shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was little research on how high school math teachers view it. To fill a research gap, this qualitative phenomenological study used semi-structured interviews with four high school math teachers in two rural high schools to understand how they view online teaching and learning. Through open ended interview questions, math teachers and administrators from two rural high schools share their experience with online teaching and learning during the pandemic. The researcher recommends completing this study solely through the administrators’ perspective, from other content area teachers’ perspective, or in an affluent area with more technological resources

Get PDFInternalized racism is the internalization of beliefs about racism and colonization that contribute to the acceptance of negative messaging or stereotypical misrepresentations that inform perceptions about worth and ability. Internalized racism is associated with psychological distress in racially diverse people. Collective racial self-esteem is a potential protective factor that can serve as a moderator in reducing distress and facilitating psychological well-being. The sample for the present study consisted of 526 participants who self-identified as African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Latinx American, or American of Arab or Middle Eastern descent. The researchers used regression with the Process macro to investigate the potential moderating properties of collective racial self-esteem on the relationship between internalized racism and psychological distress in the sample. The findings indicated that specific domains of collective racial self-esteem moderated the internalized racism–psychological distress relationship
The Impact of Essential Amino Acids on the Gut Microbiota of Broiler Chickens
Get PDFThe research involving the beneficial aspects of amino acids being added to poultry feed pertaining to performance, growth, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio is extensive. Yet currently the effects of amino acids on the gut microbiota aren’t fully understood nor have there been many studies executed in poultry to explain the relationship between amino acids and the gut microbiota. The overall outcome of health has been linked to bird gut health due to the functionality of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) for digestion/absorption of nutrients as well as immune response. These essential functions of the GI are greatly driven by the resident microbiota which produce metabolites such as butyrate, propionate, and acetate, providing the microbiota a suitable and thrive driven environment. Feed, age, the use of feed additives and pathogenic infections are the main factors that have an effect on the microbial community within the GIT. Changes in these factors may have potential effects on the gut microbiota in the chicken intestine which in turn may have an influence on health essentially affecting growth, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio. This review will highlight limited research studies that investigated the possible role of amino acids in the gut microbiota composition of poultry
