Empowering Learner Soft Skills in Digital Teaching: A Study of Teacher Perspectives
No full textThe necessity of soft skills for digital native learners is paramount, underscoring the urgency of integrating them into pedagogical processes to equip students with essential life competencies for navigating the digital age. This study investigates English educators' perspectives and implementation strategies for fostering eight key soft skills (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, adaptability, emotional intelligence, leadership, and time management) within the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. A mixed-methods approach was employed, gathering data from 35 English teachers using both interviews and a closed-ended questionnaire. The qualitative and quantitative analysis revealed that teachers successfully implement a range of project-based and interactive activities. Specifically, the findings demonstrate that activities such as peer tutoring, role-playing, mini drama projects, group presentations, reader's theatre, and self-peer feedback are effective in empowering all eight targeted soft skills in EFL learners. The study concludes that diversified and project-based activities are highly effective pedagogical tools for the simultaneous development of a broad spectrum of soft skills in the digital teaching environment. These findings offer practical implications for curriculum designers and educators seeking to enhance soft skill development in language education
Examining the Fairness of High-Stakes College Entrance Exams: An Application of the Kuwait University English Aptitude Test
No full text There are some controversies about using standardized testing for college admission in the United States. The main concerns are that: (a) the test items may be biased across different subgroups, and (b) the test may have differential prediction (predictive bias) across different subgroups. These two concerns are related to the fairness of the test scores. In this study, we illustrate how measurement approaches can be used for comprehensively evaluating the fairness issues in standardized testing. Based on the current view of fairness, we demonstrate the use of psychometric theory and statistical methods for examining internal and external bias of test scores. In particular, differential item functioning (DIF) analysis is used for collecting internal evidence of bias, and differential prediction analysis is conducted to evaluate the external test bias. The Kuwait University English Aptitude Test (KUEAT) is a high-stakes college entrance exam taken by those who apply to Kuwait University (KU). It is the only public university in Kuwait known for having an admissions policy based on entrance examinations and high school GPA. The test scores have heavy weights in making admission decisions for applicants. However, very few studies or technical reports have published the psychometric evidence of this national high-stakes college entrance exam. In this study, we aim to evaluate the fairness of the KUEAT to: (1)demonstrate our proposed psychometric methods for examining fairness issues in standardized testing, and to (2) provide evidence for fairness arguments of KUEAT which can shed light on the admissions policy of a leading university in Kuwait. The results indicated that the KUEAT showed many misfit items that may lead to bias in test scores. External bias is reflected by differential prediction of college performance using KUEAT scores. We found that the prediction of test scores varies significantly across different subpopulation groups. Discussion and implications of our findings are also provided.</p
The Effects of Symptomatic and Intervention-Specific Heterogeneity on Outcomes for Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
No full textMyalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disorder characterized by persistent fatigue that is unresponsive to rest. Despite extensive intervention research, no gold standard treatment for ME/CFS has yet been identified, although Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based intervention approaches have shown some promise. This dissertation evaluated Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) for patients diagnosed with CFS and their partners. CBSM is based on a neuroimmune model of CFS, in which symptoms are seen as prompting distress reactions and cyclically intensifying symptoms. CBSM is intended to facilitate the development of stress management skills to interrupt this cycle. Previous trials of CBSM for patients diagnosed with CFS have yielded mixed results.We explored whether symptomatic and intervention-specific heterogeneity influenced CBSM efficacy. First, variations in ME/CFS case definitions yield a heterogeneous patient group. Notably, despite that post-exertional malaise (PEM) is considered a cardinal feature of the disorder, it is not a required symptom according to the commonly applied 1994 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention case definition for CFS. We considered whether patients' PEM status moderated effects of CBSM. Second, therapist adherence and competence in terms of delivering interventions are likely to impact outcomes. We adapted a fidelity rating system for audio recordings of group CBT to video recordings of group CBSM, with sessions double-coded to assess interrater reliability. We then evaluated whether adherence and competence variables were associated with patient outcomes at follow-up
