It sought to identify differences in participants' opinions based on their qualifications, years of experience, and training programs. The study population comprised 613 art education teachers and supervisors, from whom a random sample of 237 was selected. A descriptive methodology was employed, and the researcher designed a research instrument (a questionnaire). This instrument was assessed for face validity by experts and tested for reliability using Cronbach's Alpha, yielding an overall reliability coefficient of 0.91. The questionnaire consisted of 18 items. Statistical methods used for data analysis included frequency distributions, percentages, the arithmetic mean, T-tests, One-Way ANOVA, and Scheffé's Test. The results indicated that the current role of art education curricula in addressing job market requirements, as outlined in Vision 2030, was rated at a medium level, with an arithmetic mean of 2.91. Statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level were found in participants' opinions regarding the role of art education curricula in meeting job-market requirements, based on variables including qualifications, years of experience, and training programs.</p> Abeer Muhammad Al-Beshi Copyright (c) 2026 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2026-03-15 2026-03-15 1 28 https://journalppw.com/index.php/jppw/article/view/19247 <p>Background: War has detrimental effects on the everyday family life of mothers and their children. Many mothers, however, adapt to war-related adversity and continue to maintain healthy parent-child relationships. Objective: The study described in this paper examined the predictors of the everyday parenting practices of 62 primary caregivers (81% mothers) of young children with special needs displaced from their homes and communities following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Method: Three proximal (maternal well-being, optimism, &amp; consistency in everyday routines) and five distal (family needs, challenges locating needed resources, social support from host-county social network members, social connectedness with Ukrainian family and friends, and satisfaction with early childhood intervention practitioners) factors were the focus of investigation. Results: Findings showed that maternal well-being, maternal optimism, consistency in everyday routines, and social connectedness with Ukrainian family and friends, both individually and in combination, proved to be the best predictors of positive everyday parenting practices and parent-child interactions. Conclusion: The everyday parenting practices of displaced Ukrainian mothers were influenced by both proximal and distal explanatory factors.</p> Anna Kukuruza, Carl J.
