“…Although the ethical behavior principles of teachers are guaranteed by laws, regulations, and directives, they may act unethically when they encounter different problems while performing their profession. In this process, teachers are provided with psychological support to overcome the negative situation (Abiogu et al, 2022). Ultimately, the job affiliation of professionals who have internalized ethical values increases (Akın et al, 2018).…”

“…When the ethical codes that teachers must comply with in Nigeria are examined; teachers should dress modestly, live within their means and avoid financial difficulties, attend school and classes on time, not use their students in personal affairs, not engage in bribery and corruption, should not engage in inappropriate relations with students, should not share exam questions with anyone beforehand, and should not consume any alcoholic beverages during school hours (Abiogu et al, 2022). Similar codes apply to countries such as the United Kingdom (Fuertes, 2021), Finland (Benjamin et al, 2021), and Libya (Elmojahed, 2021).…”

“…Public officials often have exhibited unethical behaviors such as bribery and abuse of office from businesses or individuals who need services or the protection of government agencies (Ugwuozor, 2020). Although ethics education is a prerequisite for many professions around the world, teacher ethics education has been given less importance or often neglected altogether (Abiogu et al, 2022;Burakgazi et al, 2020). With the realization of this situation in England, ethics courses were added to the teacher training fields of universities (Walters et al, 2018).…”

This study, it was aimed to determine the predisposition levels of teachers and teacher candidates to ethical values. The sample of the study consisted of 1305 educators, 784 teachers, and 521 teacher candidates in 15 different branches in the 2020-2021 academic year. The sample of the research conducted in the relational screening model was selected by a simple random sampling method. In the research, "The scale of the inclination to ethical values" developed by Kaya (2015) was used as a data collection tool. The scale has three dimensions: love, justice, and cooperation. In the analysis of the data, arithmetic mean (x̄), standard deviation, frequency, percentage, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal Wallis test were used and a .05 significance level was taken into account in the interpretation of the data. According to the research findings, teachers and teacher candidates got very high scores on the scale. While there was no difference in gender for the level of susceptibility to ethical values; significant results were reached in favor of teachers in terms of status; in favor of physical education teachers in-branch comparison; in favor of those with more than 16 years of service according to professional seniority and in favor of those who do regular physical activity. As a result of the research; it has been seen that teachers and teacher candidates are very inclined to ethical values and they internalize the value of love the most. Planning functional pre-service and in-service training for teacher candidates who have not yet started the profession or for teachers who are new to the profession; it is recommended that educators create an environment and time for regular physical activity.

“…Positive or rational belief promotes realistic feelings and prosocial behaviours (Ellis et al, 1997) and equally plays key roles in influencing how people act, behave and feel (Abiogu, et al 2021;Abiogu et al 2020a, b;Agah et al 2020;Bernard & Cronan, 1999;Ede et al, 2020). As part of the roles of rational-emotive approaches, parents with dysfunctional cognitive behaviours and emotions, especially those that have children with a disability, could change from their irrational thinking to better ones (e.g., Greaves, 1997;Weiss et al, 2015).…”

A good number of parents of children with Down syndrome are prone to depressive disorders. The depressive feelings are attributed to negative perceptions of the situation, self, and the future. Given this, we explored the impact of the family health model of rational-emotive behavior therapy on depressive symptoms in parents of children with intellectual disability of Down syndrome in the COVID-19 pandemic era. This is a randomized pretest-posttest control group design that recruited 88 parents of children with intellectual disability of Down syndrome. We measured the depressive symptoms in parents at Time 1, Time 2, and Time 3 using the Beck depressive inventory and Hamilton depression rating scale. We adopted a family health model rational emotive behaviour therapy intervention in treating the depressive symptoms affecting the parents. The analysis of covariate results showed that at initial assessment there was no significant difference between the treatment group and comparison group at baseline evaluation of depressive symptoms in participants. At the posttest, it had a significant effect on the intervention on participants' depressive symptoms. Likewise, a follow-up result still shows that intervention had a significant effect on participants' depressive symptoms of participants. In conclusion, this study suggests that treatment variable accounted for the effect in decreasing depressive symptoms scores of participants.

Introduction Nigerian university lecturers face a lot of works in the day‐to‐day discharge of their responsibilities as academics. This constitutes a lot of stress for them as documented in the literature. However, literature is scarce on how these lecturers manage their work stress. Thus, the researchers explored the efficacy of rational emotive occupational health coaching (REOHC) on the management of work stress among lecturers. Method A randomised controlled trial group experimental research design was adopted using a sample size of 84 lecturers in Science Education Departments of the sampled universities. An occupational stress index was used in the gathering of necessary data for the study. The REOHC treatment lasted for 12 weeks after which the participants were posttested and a follow‐up measure followed after 3 months of the termination of the treatment. Repeated measures analysis of variance statistical approach was used to analyse the obtained data. Results It was revealed that REOHC was significantly (p < 0.05) effective in the management of work stress in a population of science education lecturers in Nigeria. Conclusion REOHC enables science education lecturers to effectively manage their work stress to maximise their work outputs. This finding implicates the expertise of Educational Evaluators.
