Adaptation of the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale to Azerbaijani: Investigating its Relationship with Work Engagement, Anxiety, and Job Satisfaction
Teacher self-efficacy is a central construct influencing instructional practices, classroom management, and student outcomes. Despite its importance, no validated instrument exists in Azerbaijan to assess teachers’ self-efficacy. This study aimed to adapt the Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) into Azerbaijani and examine its psychometric properties. Data were collected from 293 Azerbaijani teachers via an online survey. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the original three-factor structure, with acceptable fit indices (χ²/df = 3.283, CFI = .939, TLI = .922, RMSEA = .088). Reliability was evaluated through multiple indices, demonstrating high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .925), strong item homogeneity (McDonald’s ω = .926), and robust test-score reliability (Guttman’s λ6 = .930). Item Response Theory (IRT) analyses indicated strong discrimination parameters for all items (α = 1.78–2.91), confirming the scale’s capacity to differentiate teachers with varying efficacy levels. Concurrent validity was supported through positive correlations with work engagement and job satisfaction, and negative correlations with anxiety. Overall, the findings suggest that the Azerbaijani TSES is a psychometrically sound instrument, suitable for research, professional development, and policy applications. This adaptation provides a valuable tool for assessing teacher self-efficacy in Azerbaijani educational contexts, contributing to cross-cultural research and enhancing evidence-based strategies to improve teacher effectiveness and well-being

The Impact of Intrinsic Motivation as Predictors of Academic Achievement: The Mediating Role of Deep Learning and Surface Learning in Learning Mathematics
This study examines the relationship between academic inspiration in mathematics and internal motivation, the chis of extrinsic incentives, subjective task value with a specific focus on the moderate roles played by deep learning and shallow is tape. A cross-sectional research design and validated questionnaires were used to collect data from high school students at the various and total number of educational institutions in one metropolitan area included 571 high school students. Non-urban (32.0​% male and 43.8% female, Urban, 8.9% male and 15.2% female, mean age = 17.20, SD = 0.294, Cronbach's α = 0.720) from Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia. What the findings of this study make clear is that intrinsic motivation quite significantly predicts academic achievement; compared with servant motivation, it even has a big edge. Surface learning tactics negatively affected academic success, while deep learning strategies promoted it. It also found out that subjective task value increased the predictive validity of intrinsic motivation for success. Such findings demonstrate just how complex the relationships are between a great many motivating factors and learning processes, all aspects of which teachers need to nurture in order for their students 'success in math to succeed.

Psychohistory and Psychopoetics Freudian Roots and Ancient Greek Symbolism
What if the grand tapestry of history, traditionally woven by kings and treaties, is instead driven by the subterranean currents of unconscious desires and childhood traumas? This article probes these hidden forces through the interdisciplinary frameworks of psychohistory and psychopoetics, offering a provocative reimagining of human agency and cultural evolution. The inquiry commences with a rigorous psychoanalytic examination of Sigmund Freud and Ludwig Jekels’ 1914 study, Der Wendepunkt im Leben Napoleons I, which dissects Napoleon Bonaparte’s meteoric rise through the lens of early familial dynamics and paraphilic tendencies—ranging from voyeurism to sadomasochism—rooted in his idolization of Pasquale Paoli. This seminal work prefigured psychohistory, formalized by Erik Erikson in 1958, as a method to unravel history as the enactment of repressed psychic conflicts and collective fantasies, challenging conventional historiography. The exploration deepens with an incisive analysis of Greek mythology’s primordial narratives, where the androgynous Aether begets Uranus and Gaia, initiating a cosmic drama of castration and rebellion. This foundational mythos crystallizes the Oedipus and Electra complexes, establishing archetypal psychic structures that underpin Western identity and patriarchal ascendancy. Turning to psychopoetics, this study decodes the symbolic lexicon of ancient Greek culture, interrogating how color gradations—blue for divine allegiance, red for martial fervor, green for sensual rebirth—embody unconscious fears and aspirations. Study propose an innovative expansion of psychopoetics, integrating color semiotics with genetic, economic, and linguistic determinants, to illuminate the phylogenetic imprint of civilizations. This approach not only redefines cultural analysis but also underscores the irreversible trajectory of history, shaped by the magnetic influence of visionary leaders and the enduring hypnosis of mass psychology.
Play and Graded Exposure Psychotherapies on School Refusal Behaviour amongLower Basic Pupils in Public Schools in Ogun State, Nigeria
This study examined the effects of Play Therapy (PT) and Graded Exposure Therapy (GET) on School Refusal Behaviour (SRB) among Lower Basic Pupils (LBP) in public schools in Ogun State, Nigeria. The moderating effects of gender and Academic Self-efficacy (ASE) was also examined. A pretest-posttest, control group quasi-experimental design with a 3x2x3 factorial matrix was adopted. The multistage sampling procedure was used. Three Local Government Areas were randomly selected. Three schools (one per Local Government Area) were randomly selected and assigned to treatment and control groups. The pupils were screened with the School Avoidance Scale (α=.76) and School Attendance Register. 45 pupils who scored above 30.0% were assigned to PP (16), GET (15) and Control (14) groups. The instruments used were School Refusal Assessment (α=.75) and ASE (α=.87) scales. The intervention lasted eight weeks. Analysis of Covariance and Bonferroni post hoc test were used to analyse data at 0.05 level of significance. There was a significant main effect of treatment on SRB among the pupils (F(2; 28)=91.10; partial ῆ2=0.87). The participants in control group had the highest post mean score (80.56), followed by GET (39.65) and PT (36.15). This implies that the PT reduced SRB most among LBP followed by GET. There were no significant interaction main effects of treatments and gender, treatments as well as gender and ASE on SRB. The three-way interaction effect was also not significant. PT and GET were effective in reducing SRB among LBP in Ogun State, Nigeria, irrespective of their gender and academic self-efficacy. Counselling and educational psychologists should make use of this intervention when dealing with such pupils.
Time Matters Strategy: Adaptive Group Counseling to Optimize Time Management for New Students
New students often struggle to manage their time effectively due to various academic and non-academic demands. This study aims to determine new students' time management skills and test the effectiveness of the Time Matters Strategy through adaptive group counselling. The study employs a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design. The sample consisted of 5 new students selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used were a time management questionnaire and a self-evaluation questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in the time management skills of new students after participating in three sessions of Time Matters Strategy group counselling, with the average pre-test score of 74.80 increasing to 88.80 on the post-test (p = 0.004; Cohen's d = -2.720). In addition, participants reported positive changes in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviour, including reduced anxiety, increased motivation, and becoming accustomed to using effective time management methods. Group counselling with the Time Matters Strategy effectively improves the time management skills of new students, so it can be used as an alternative psychological intervention in higher education settings.

Integrating Psychological Data for Policy: A Study on the Mental Health of First-Year Students at Universitas Negeri Semarang
Mental health is essential for first-year college students, affecting their transition and academic success. The transition phase involves significant challenges due to major life changes. This study presents data on the mental health conditions of first-year students at Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) and emphasizes the need for comprehensive, community-based interventions. A quantitative cross-sectional approach was utilized, surveying 410 first-year students from the 2024 cohort using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21). Findings revealed high levels of anxiety, followed by depression and stress, with factors such as gender, age, and geographic origin significantly influencing mental health outcomes. Differences in admission pathways and tuition levels also provided valuable context. A comprehensive intervention strategy is proposed to address these issues, combining quarterly and daily components. The quarterly program, Q-CARE (Quarterly – Campus Adaptation & Resilience Enhancement), involves mandatory mental health screenings, personalized counseling referrals, and mentor check-ins. The daily support system includes mood journaling integrated into classroom attendance, motivational posters with QR codes linking to counseling services, and a "Mind Space" feature within the MyUNNES app offering self-help tools like grounding podcasts and breathing exercises. This program leverages existing resources and technology to support students during their transition and academic journey, promoting early detection and sustained mental well-being. Successful implementation will require collaboration among stakeholders, particularly university administrators, to ensure a lasting impact on student mental health.
The Influence Of The Social Environment At School On The Learning Motivation Of Deaf Student
Inclusive education for children with special needs, especially deaf students, is a fundamental need in creating a fair and equitable education system. This article discusses the influence of the school environment on deaf students' learning motivation, focusing on the physical, social, academic and emotional aspects that support their learning process. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze the role of a conducive school environment in improving deaf students' enthusiasm and motivation to learn at an inclusive junior high school in Surakarta. The results showed that deaf-friendly facilities, positive social support, learning methods tailored to students' needs, and an inclusive emotional environment greatly influenced their learning motivation. Factors such as the availability of hearing aids, empathic attitudes from teachers, and supportive social interactions also increase deaf students' learning motivation. Therefore, it is important for schools to provide an adaptive and inclusive environment so that deaf students can learn optimally and feel accepted in the educational environment.
The Impact of the Loss of a Father's Role on a Daughter's Relationship Life
This study explores how the absence of a father figure—due to either death or divorce—shapes a girl's romantic relationships later in life. Using a descriptive case study approach, researchers conducted in-depth interviews with three women who all experienced being left by their fathers during childhood.Through these conversations, several recurring themes emerged, shedding light on the long-lasting emotional effects of growing up without a dad. The five key themes identified were: emotional dependence, a deep need for protection and acceptance, impulsive decisions around marriage, insecurity in relationships, and a tendency to seek a father figure in romantic partners. What’s striking is that none of the participants described any positive or healthy impact this early loss had on their adult relationships. Instead, the absence of a father left a significant emotional gap, influencing how they connect with and trust men. The study highlights just how vital a present, loving, and supportive father figure is in a girl's life. A healthy father-daughter relationship helps shape a girl's expectations of men, teaches her how to build strong emotional bonds, and plays a crucial role in how she navigates love and intimacy as an adult.

Academic Resilience and Achievement Motivation in Students Who Experience Academic Stress
Students during lectures cannot be denied having academic demands and pressures. Kholidan & Alsa (2012) that the pressures and demands of lectures as a cause of stress or a source of student stressors. Another opinion states that one source of stress for students is the ambition to achieve and complete various academic tasks (Greenberg, 2004). The phenomenon of achievement motivation is often found among students, even though students need to maintain their level of academic motivation. Achievement motivation has an important role in achieving one's achievements. Achievement motivation is very important for individuals to be able to follow the learning process well (Nurazmi & Kurniawan, 2016). Resilience acts as a factor that influences achievement motivation (Mardiana et al., 2017). According to Connor & Davidson, students need certain abilities, one of which is resilience, an ability a person has to survive, overcome, and thrive in adversity (Yuliasih & Akmal, 2017). Students who have academic resilience are not easy to despair when experiencing academic difficulties. (Harahap et al., 2020). This quantitative research involved 201 UNNES Psychology students as samples taken using purposive sampling technique. The data of this study were obtained using the academic resilience scale (ARS-30) adapted by Kumalasari (2020), Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionaire Manual (MSLQM) adapted by Purwanto 2014, and Student-Life Stess Inventory (SLSI) adapted by Putra (2018). The results of the analysis obtained F of 86.218 with a significance level of 0.000 (p < 0.05), so that the hypothesis that reads "there is a relationship between academic resilience and achievement motivation in students who experience academic stress" is accepted.
