“…Commenting on SDL in the college setting, Susan Wilcox (1996, p. 167) argues: 'Self-directed learning reflects the traditionally high value that universities have placed on encouraging college students to take obligation for their gaining knowledge of, and also reflects the liberal education value of, lifelong learning'. It is interesting to note that SDL is a basic process of continuous student learning that gives students cognisance of abilities regarding inquiry, research, acquisition of knowledge, expertise, attitudes and values, allowing them to stay efficacious and in a short time able to exchange the world for the better (Barrett, 2014;Breed & Bailey, 2018;du Toit-Brits, 2019;Knowles, Holton and Swanson, 2014). Discussing environmental issues in EL classes gave students a heightened awareness of the importance of protecting the environment, which prompted some to take actions towards this end.…”

Listening is an essential aspect of our daily lives, but remains one of the most challenging language skills to master. This study explores the use of metacognitive listening journals with environmental themes in a class teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). The research assesses the effectiveness of listening journals, their incorporation of environmental subjects, and their suitability for educational purposes. The study used quantitative and qualitative approaches, including questionnaires and group interviews. The data analysis involved the utilisation of Likert scale and thematic analysis techniques. While previous research has underscored the importance of extensive listening, there has been limited exploration of the integration of environmental issues in EFL classrooms. Our study addresses this gap by focusing on learners’ perceptions of the efficacy of listening journals and the impact of environmental topics on their environmental awareness. The result revealed that most students have a positive perception of the use of listening journals in extensive listening that integrates environmental issues. Moreover, a significant proportion of students demonstrate a desire to engage in proactive measures aimed at safeguarding the environment

“…Several studies have delved into the interplay between metacognition and self-directed learning. For example, Ghomi et al (2016) and Breed and Bailey (2018) found a mutual enhancement between the two. Despite the extensive study and recognition of the relationship between metacognition and self-directed learning in general and online education, research in the realm of music education remains relatively scarce.…”

IntroductionMetacognition and self-directed learning are key components in educational research, recognized for their potential to enhance learning efficiency and problem-solving skills. This study explores the effects of musical feedback training on these competencies.MethodsThe study involved 84 preservice teachers aged 18 to 21. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group, which received musical feedback training, or a control group.ResultsThe findings indicate that musical feedback training effectively improved metacognitive abilities. However, its impact on the readiness for self-directed learning was inconclusive. A notable difference in metacognition and self-directed learning readiness was observed between the experimental and control groups during the session, indicating a significant interaction effect. Furthermore, a positive correlation was identified between metacognition and self-directed learning.DiscussionThese results contribute to educational discourse by providing empirical evidence on the utility of musical feedback training in fostering metacognition. They also highlight the importance of consistent and long-term engagement in self-directed learning practices. The significance of these findings advocates for incorporating music feedback training into music education curricula to enhance metacognition and improve overall learning efficiency.

“…Literacy involves a continuum of learning, a development of getting fundamental cognitive skills, using these skills that can help promote socio-economic development, constructing the capacity for social awareness and critical reflection to enable people to fully participate in their communities and wider society (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, 2005). At the psychological level, the act of literacy opens the door to meta-cognition and social consciousness, while literacy as a social cognitive act produces springboards for strategic perspective and pondering (Breed and Bailey, 2018).…”

AimThis research aimed to explore the professional literacies that should be possessed by Taiwan’s bag manufacturing industry talents. This understanding will also help the technical and vocational education system to cultivate talents in Taiwan’s bag manufacturing industry.MethodsA qualitative research design was adopted. The outline of the interview on the professional literacy of Taiwan’s bag manufacturing industry talents was compiled, and seven interviewees were selected by purposive sampling from those who had worked (including supervisors) in Taiwan’s bag manufacturing industry for 21 to 42 years. One-on-one in-depth interviews with semi-structured interview questions were conducted. Using grounded theory, the content of the in-depth interviews was analyzed and discussed.Results and discussionThis study discusses what professional literacy of Taiwan’s bag manufacturing industry talents should possess from the practical perspective of Taiwan’s bag manufacturing industry leaders or senior managers. This study shows that bag manufacturing industry talents should possess knowledge, skills, and attitudes and values of common professional literacies. Moreover, bag designers, manufacturing technicians, patternmakers, hand stitchers, and production supervisors should acquire these professional literacies. The results of this study will help Taiwan’s bag manufacturing industry leaders or senior managers to highlight the importance of professional literacy that Taiwan’s bag manufacturing industry talents should possess.ConclusionThis study summarized the professional literacy of bag manufacturing industry talents into three major aspects: knowledge, skills, and attitudes and values. Based on this, suggestions are made as a reference for the implementation of curriculum development for talent cultivation in higher education institutions, and a reference for the learning and on-the-job training of bag manufacturing industry practitioners in the workplace.
