Background: The growing discussion on teacher development focuses on diversified educational skills that promote knowledge and innovation in the teaching, learning and assessment process. With the Covid-19 scenario, this picture of necessary changes has become more evident, demonstrating the need for professional preparation to work in teacher development. The aim of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of teacher development programs for the training of university teachers in the health area, through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: The systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and involved searching five databases - PubMed-Medline, Education Resource Information Center (ERIC), SCOPUS, Embase and Web of Science. The review included randomized clinical trials and cohort studies that addressed the effectiveness of teaching professionalization in the health area for university professors. The quality of the selected studies was assessed based on the evaluation criteria of the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. The random effects meta-analysis method was used to explain the distribution of effects between the studies, using Stata® software (version 11.0) and publication bias was examined by visual inspection of the graphs and Egger's test.
Results: We included 12 studies in the systematic review and 8 in the meta-analysis. These studies were published between 1984 and 2022 in 14 countries. Significant changes were reported in teachers' behavior to stimulate and encourage students, improvement in the quality of teaching and teaching staff, as well as improvement in skills such as leadership and self-evaluation. Furthermore, the result of the meta-analysis showed that there is evidence of the effectiveness of the positive effects of teacher development programs after their implementation, with this effect being 1.70% and an increase of 4.75 in the effect of these teacher development programs.
Conclusion: Our study shows that development programs have been implemented in different countries and contexts, all of which have proven to be effective in the short, medium and long term. We recommend that future research focus specifically on the different competencies that have been acquired following the implementation of these programs.

Linking air pollution appraisal to EFL teachers' negative emotion via mental effort: the moderating role of working memory capacity.

Based on Cognitive Load Theory, this study developed a moderated mediation model to examine the relationship between English as foreign language (EFL) teachers' air pollution appraisal and negative emotions. Specifically, it hypothesizes that air pollution appraisal significantly increases the mental effort of EFL teachers, which in turn leads to the manifestation of negative emotions. Additionally, the study introduces the concept that the working memory capacity of EFL teachers can negatively moderate the impact of increased mental effort on their emotions, effectively attenuating the overall mediating effect.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an early childhood and lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder. Many studies have confirmed that motor skills and physical activity interventions can improve motor development in ASD individuals and ultimately improve their quality of life. However, systematic evidence is lacking on whether motor skills and physical activity interventions improve motor development among children with ASD.

Fabry disease is characterized by an X sex chromosome gene mutation caused by α-galactosidase A deficiency, resulting in the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide and globotriaosylsphingosine in various organs, which induces end-organ lesions. In Fabry disease, enzymes with lost or decreased activity in the body are replaced by exogenous supplementation of normal-function α-galactosidase A. Currently, agalsidase α and agalsidase β are widely used for ERT therapy.

Inspired by self-determination theory (SDT), the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) was developed to measure students' learning motivation. While the AMS has been widely validated and used in educational contexts, it has generally overlooked the domain-specific nature of academic motivation, particularly in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in China, home to the world's largest population of EFL learners. This study sought to adapt the AMS and substantiate its validity using both within-network and between-network approaches with a sample of 1,390 Chinese secondary EFL learners.
