It highlights how China's economic growth has led to a demand for high-quality, diverse education, met by international schools offering curricula like the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). A key challenge for these schools is integrating global educational standards with China's unique cultural and societal context, requiring skilled academic staff. The research emphasizes the importance of workplace spirituality and staff readiness in fostering innovation within these schools, especially in Shaanxi Province. By applying theories such as Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Transformational Leadership Theory, and Social Exchange Theory (SET), the study provides insights into the successful operation and development of innovative international schools in China. It underscores the role of academic staff, workplace spirituality, and leadership in creating educational environments that are academically excellent, culturally integrative, and globally oriented, aiming to inform policymakers and educators about the factors driving the success of international schools in preparing globally minded, culturally aware students.</p>2024-03-12T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Sciences: Basic and Applied Research (IJSBAR)https://gssrr.org/index.php/JournalOfBasicAndApplied/article/view/16557The Relationship between the Development and Application Skills of Multiple-Choice Test of Teachers and Demonstrated Achievement in this Regard2024-02-18T03:32:45+00:00Erol Karacaerolkaraca@anadolu.edu.trVahide Canvcan@anadolu.edu.tr<p>This study sought to develop a Likert type scale which is valid and reliable in order to investigate the development and application skills of multiple-choice tests of teachers. The research was carried out with 386 teachers, selected randomly from primary schools and high schools in Eskisehir, Turkey in the 2010-2011 academic year. The data were collected by using a questionnaire consisting of two sections, developed by the researchers to determine the development and application skills of multiple-choice tests of teachers. The first part is related to demographic and personal information. The second part includes 72 expressions related to development and application skills of multiple-choice tests on a 5-point Likert-type scale. Data were analyzed with exploratory factor analysis and multi-factor confirmatory factor analysis by using the statistical package SPSS and LISREL. The findings of the study revealed that the scale was valid and reliable.</p>2024-03-16T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Sciences: Basic and Applied Research (IJSBAR)https://gssrr.org/index.php/JournalOfBasicAndApplied/article/view/16552Vegetative Growth Response of Tobacco Plant Local Varieties of Payakumbuh the Age Moving to the Field2024-02-15T06:16:33+00:00Nin Patri Enatininpatrienati@gmail.comFefriyanti DSfefriyantids@gmail.comFriskia Hanatul Qalbyfriskiahanatulqolby@gmail.comAgustinus Mangusongagustinus.mangunsong60@gmail.com<p>Tobacco are an elite good. The individual consumer selection determines the quality standards. The cultivation elements around plants have a significant impact on the success of tobacco production, in addition to the potential of the plants themselves. One of the less expensive criteria for attaining the objective of improving productivity and quality is the adoption of superior varieties. Using seedlings of unknown age when transferring plants to fields is one of the issues with tobacco farming in the West Sumatra Province's fifty-city district. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate transplant age for tobacco plants of regional types found in the districts of fifty cities. This study used a random group scheme with a single factor different ages at which local tobacco crops were transplanted. At the 5% level, the ratio analysis (test F) was used to analyse the data. At level 5%, the findings of the real ratio test were followed up with the Minimum Real Difference test.The following metrics were noted: plant height (cm), leaf width (cm), leaf length (cm), upper wet leaves wet weight (g), lower dry leaves dry weight (gram), middle dry weight (gram), and upper dry weight(gram). Observations When comparing the parameters of crop height, leaf length, leaf width, fresh leaf weight, and dried leaf of a tobacco plant, the usage of 45 days post-sowing seedage age had the greatest influence, as opposed to 30 days old seeds(DOS), 35 DOS, 40 DOS, 55 DOS, and 60 DOS.</p>2024-03-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of Sciences: Basic and Applied Research (IJSBAR)https://gssrr.org/index.php/JournalOfBasicAndApplied/article/view/16545Bell's Palsy Patient's Experience in Undergoing Acupuncture at Regional Public Service Agency Acupuncture Polyclinic Abepura Hospital Papua Province2024-02-12T15:30:04+00:00Nur Lily Achmadinurlily538@gmail.comHasmihasmiuncen@yahoo.co.idSarce Makabasarcemakaba@gmail.comMarthapina Anggaimariamartafkm@gmail.comNovita Medyatinovita_medyati@yahoo.ComYacob Ruruyacobruru@yahoo.com<p>Acupuncture is one of the alternative complementary treatments for the community in handling diseases including Bell's Palsy.
