Managerial Strategies and their Mediating Effects on Ethical Leadership and Job Satisfaction Among Secondary School Teachers in Tanzania
Full text linkThis study examined the mediating role of managerial strategies in the relationship between ethical leadership and job satisfaction among secondary school teachers in Tanzania, focusing on Temeke Municipality. Using a mixed-methods design, the study engaged 150 teachers through structured questionnaires and 14 educational leaders-10 school heads, 3 Ward Education Officers (WEOs), and 1 District Secondary Education Officer (DSEO)-via in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) to assess direct and mediated effects, while qualitative data were interpreted through thematic analysis. Findings revealed that ethical leadership positively influences teachers’ job satisfaction, and this relationship is partially mediated by managerial strategies such as participatory decision-making, teacher support, and transparent communication. Thematic insights echoed these results, highlighting that strategic leadership enhances school climate and teachers’ professional commitment. The study concludes that although ethical leadership is essential, effective managerial strategies amplify its impact on job satisfaction. It recommends targeted training for school leaders in ethical conduct and management to boost teacher motivation and school performance. These findings are valuable for policymakers and education stakeholders seeking sustainable ways to enhance teacher satisfaction in Tanzanian secondary schools
Qualitative Research Approaches and Data Collection Methods: Understanding Meaning and Experience
Full text linkQualitative research aims to explore and understand how individuals make sense of their experiences and the social world around them. Unlike quantitative research, which focuses on measurement and generalisation, qualitative inquiry values depth, context, and human meaning (Creswell and Poth, 2018). This paper outlines the primary approaches and data collection methods employed in qualitative research, illustrating how philosophical assumptions influence the design of inquiry. It discusses key qualitative approaches, including phenomenology, ethnography, grounded theory, narrative inquiry, case study, and participatory action research, each offering a distinct way to study human experience. The article also examines the most common data collection methods, interviews, focus groups, observations, document analysis, and visual or digital tools, highlighting their role in generating rich and authentic data. Finally, it argues that qualitative research is guided by interpretivist and constructivist paradigms, where knowledge is co-created through a process of reflection and interpretation between the researcher and the participant (Schwandt, 2015; Denzin and Lincoln, 2018). This discussion lays the groundwork for the subsequent section, which examines the philosophical foundations and methodological principles of qualitative inquiry
The Effect of the Concept Attainment Learning Model on Improving Persuasive Writing Ability in Eighth-Grade Students at Private Junior High School SRO Matiti
Full text linkThis study aims to describe the influence of the Concept Attainment learning model on the ability of eighth-grade students of SRO Matiti Middle School, Doloksanggul, to write persuasive texts. The research method used is an experimental design with a sample of 31 students participating as both the control and experimental groups (with a pre-test and post-test conducted). Data collection tools consist of written tests where students are assigned to create persuasive texts, assessed based on specific criteria. The hypothesis test results indicate that when compared with the t-table at a significance level of 5%, with degrees of freedom (df) = N-1 = 30, a t-value of 2.04 is obtained. Based on the calculated t-value (top) compared to the t-table value (t), it is found that to = 6.83, which is greater than the t-table (2.04). Consequently, we reject the null hypothesis (Ho) and accept the alternative hypothesis (Ha). This demonstrates that the Concept Attainment learning model significantly increases students\u27 ability to write persuasively. In conclusion, implementing the Concept Attainment learning model substantially affects the ability of eighth-grade students of SRO Matiti Middle School to write persuasive texts
Exploring Menstrual T.V. Advertisements: Unravelling media’s role in Perpetuating Women Victimization
Full text linkMenstruation; is a unique and natural phenomenon, whereby a woman undergoes for a major part of her life, which is almost forty years. However, this crucial process is always understated through different mechanisms of society; be it the patriarchal system of society, the women themselves, the culture of a particular community, or the media that paints the majority of perceptions about societal events. Media through menstrual advertisements had played a significant role in the representation of women. Lack of awareness; embarrassment; secrecy; and stigmatization, all illustrate a grim and depressing picture of women’s lives, and the media further aggravates their victimization. Menstrual Advertisements reflect the taboos by reinforcing the belief that menstruation (which is a natural and biological feature of women’s lives) creates a lot of difficulties in their normal routine and livelihood culture, often encouraging menstrual concealment. The present article attempts to analyze the changing connotations and victimized depiction of women through these commercials. Also, it examines whether these advertisements are just commercializing and promoting specific brands, or bringing awareness among people regarding menstruation, and its broader implications on diversity and inclusion. The findings aim to elaborate on the media\u27s impact in shaping society\u27s beliefs and perceptions regarding menstruation
Asylum Seeking and Institutional Discrimination in Melatu Uche Okorie’s This Hostel Life
Full text linkDuring the Celtic Tiger (1990-2010), Ireland became a prominent destination for migrants and asylum seekers. The post Troubles economic boom also witnessed a dark phase when the Irish natives became intolerant towards other ethnic groups as they believed Ireland’s pride, their quintessential homogenous culture, was threatened by the outsiders. The Citizenship Referendum of 2004 and other similar government initiatives lead to the politicization of refugee status and discrimination of asylum seekers. Melatu Uche Okorie’s This Hostel Life (2018) throws light on the most inhumane of any such policies adopted by the Irish government, namely the Direct Provision Disposal (DPD) system. This paper will analyze and critically reflect on Okorie’s treatment of the everyday life and the tacit layers of institutional marginalization that the asylum seekers experience at the DPD centers across Ireland

A Qualitative Study on the Identity Construction of Pre-service English Teachers
Full text linkThis study explores pre-service English teachers\u27 identity construction via Wenger\u27s CoP model. Four postgraduate students with diverse undergraduate majors and over three months of teaching internship were interviewed. Findings reveal that identity is shaped by engagement in teaching (prior experiences, courses, internships) and imagining alternatives (good teacher criteria, career visions). Participants note theory-practice conflicts, with internships revealing gaps between ideals and exam-focused realities. Their "good teacher" concepts stress competence and ethics. The study highlights the need for integrated theory-practice training and further research on dynamic identity transition
