“…According to the results of a critical analysis of the literature, it is clear that mathematics teachers should pay special attention to setting goals and objectives (Ivanova, 1999;Lovyanova, 2015;Panisheva, 2011;Rakov, 2005;Serdjuk, 2011;Symonova, 2012). At the same time, their activities should involve selecting effective methods and techniques, forms and tools that allow to form and develop the student's cognitive processes and willingness to independent work in the study of mathematics (Aslam et al, 2021;Behlol et al, 2018;Mzomwe et al, 2019). It stimulates pupils' cognitive activity and shows them the necessity of mathematics in life and the possibility of its use in solving standard or non-standard challenges (Blazar & Kraft, 2017;Chang & Beilock, 2016;Devine et al, 2018;Passolunghi et al, 2019).…”

The problem of teaching mathematics in modern Ukrainian schools is general, but it has become more difficult for students with a non-mathematical background. Despite numerous studies of this problem, no specific recommendations have been made. Therefore, to develop and implement an experimental method of teaching mathematics aimed at activating the cognitive activity of non-mathematical specialties pupils. The goal was solved by conducting a questionnaire among students and teachers, which allowed us to reveal and deepen the aspects of the specified problem. Two groups were created: experimental and control. The experimental group studied according to the new model of education, and the control group - according to traditional methods of teaching mathematics. The study revealed a complex of interrelated problems, both for teachers and students. Among the problems, the lack of motivational mechanisms and a complex pedagogical approach to explaining mathematics and the limited amount of teaching mathematics to students with a non-mathematical background are of primary importance. The results of the study indicate the need to introduce the specifics of conducting classes, which would focus on understanding the subject through imaginative thinking. The need to develop textbooks and manuals, which would focus on a more in-depth and understandable teaching of the subject with exercises and tasks for humanitarian areas, has been proven. At the same time, such measures became urgent due to the introduction of quarantine measures of the Covid-2019 pandemic.

The global community has faced significant challenges in the twenty-first century, such as COVID-19, which have led to uncertainty about the survival of current and future generations. Educating the next generation of employers and leaders is the primary goal of educational institutions, particularly in higher education. Education promotes sustainable development (SD) when learners acquire ethics, abilities, and skills that assist them in affecting positive changes in themselves and their communities. Policies, projects, and investments that benefit society today while protecting the environment, human health, and social well-being in the future are considered SD. This study aimed to develop our understanding of how to promote SD in Pakistani higher education institutions (HEIs) by finding out students’ perceptions about their institutions’ commitment to SDGs and SD. The data for this quantitative-descriptive study were gathered through an online survey. The study involved 1109 students from ten Pakistani HEIs. The study results show that SD has become an essential issue in the present era. In students’ perceptions, HEIs should give more training on sustainable development goals. Furthermore, students’ self-declared statements indicated that most have sustainable habits and behaviors. Students of different genders had different sustainability behaviors and habits. Students are less likely to participate in environmental or higher education organizations supporting sustainable development. HEIs and stakeholders in Pakistan and worldwide are still needed to participate actively and engage in improving education for SD.

“…The drafting of lesson plans, class events, and collections of teaching and/or classroom activities are labeled teaching planning [31]. The arrangement of classrooms includes organizing classroom furniture, arranging student seating, studying the core materials, understanding the physical conditions of the classroom, and learning participation [32][33][34].…”

Sustainable development is a process occurring on several levels, which placed the expectations on educational institutions, especially secondary schools, change radically. Schools, therefore, are gradually likely to emphasize enhanced and sustainable teaching practices under the agenda of the United Nations 2030, sustainable future. Hence, the job-oriented development of teachers is a critical factor of the school leadership mechanism. Considering this, the present empirical research was designed to study the mechanism of path-goal theory (PGT) to sustain teachers’ job-oriented development in private secondary schools in Pakistan. The viewpoint of teachers, whose job performance is ultimately affected by the school leadership behavior and who perform the job at the front line in schools, was taken on board for the investigation. A total of 2469 secondary school teachers from 785 private secondary schools participated in the present study. Confirmatory factor analysis, t-test, Pearson correlation, and path analysis structural equation modeling analytics were mainly involved in the data analysis. Overall, the findings substantiated the constructive PGT mechanism, especially indicating that directive leadership is the most influential and effective leadership behavior in complex tasks, including when teachers are inexperienced. Moreover, the helpful role of supportive leadership and achievement-oriented leadership behaviors backs up the directive behavior. Although participative leadership behavior was problematic in the studied schools, it should be constructively adopted, as it was found to be a statistically significant predictor. Therefore, training programs for school leaders with good experience in participatory leadership functions can be productive for long-term teachers’ motivation. The literature shows that several secondary school teachers still perform poorly because of inadequate leadership, and the viewpoint of teachers on PGT was ignored in earlier studies. Hence, there was a dire need to conduct this research to address these concerns, especially in the non-Western, Asian context. In addition to pioneering academic research on leadership PGT in the secondary school context, the PGT elements were investigated, including teachers’ extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for the first time, adding new understanding about the theory.
