Empowering Students through a Digital Badge in UDL

Student empowerment is increasingly recognized as essential for fostering meaningful learning experiences and cultivating engaged citizens. This paper delves into the concepts of empowerment within the educational context, emphasizing the pivotal role of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in promoting student agency and inclusivity. By illuminating the challenges and opportunities associated with student empowerment, the paper highlights the imperative of fostering a culture of partnership and active engagement among students and educators alike. Building upon the success of UDL initiatives in Ireland, such as the UDL Digital Badge, the paper introduces a novel initiative— the UDL Digital Badge for Students. Through a collaborative design process involving students and educators, the course aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and resources to advocate for inclusive learning environments and navigate the complexities of modern education. By embracing principles of equity, flexibility, and community, the course seeks to empower students to become active participants in shaping their educational journey and effecting positive change within their institutions.​

“Eso Parece Español”. El Patrimonio Conflictivo Compartido de las Dictaduras

The following article is a local case study that examines the shared heritage of German and Spanish fascism in Berlin and its critical artistic reappraisal using the example of historical sites and monuments of art and architecture of the 20th century. The text is based on the experiences and controversial discussions of the heritage conservation andrestoration in the German capital after the opening of the Berlin Wall (1989/90) and the fall of the Iron Curtain in Europe (1989/1991). Characteristic differences in the reception of history and heritage between the western sectors of Berlin and East Berlin after 1945 also became apparent. The text owes essential impulses to the recent Action Group ‘Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches for Dissonant Heritage in Europe’ of the ‘Partnership Culture and Cultural Heritage’ within the framework of the ‘Urban Agenda of the EU’ and is intended as a contribution to the current discussion at the II International PAMEFRAN Conference “Heritege and conflict Debate on the management and treatment of a multifaceted object”. The article opposes a politically motivated iconoclasm of symbols and monuments of autocratic systems of the past and advocates for their critical reappraisal and commentaryin situ.

The Era of Collaborative Management: Navigating the Challenges Faced by Indonesian Local Governments

Lately, there has been a greater recognition of the value of collaboration in government management. It is also recognized that managing collaboration is a complex matter due to the involvement of multiple stakeholders. The goal of this study is to look into the challenges that Indonesian local governments face when implementing a collaborative management scheme. Using a systematic review, we collect evidence from previous studies that analyze local governments that carry out specific collaborative programs. As a result, there are four distinct clusters of challenges, beginning with the complexity of networking, followed by a lack of resources, a lack of interest in collaboration, and political circumstance constraints. From mapping the challenges that are occurring and posing threats to the implementation of this future collaboration, we propose plans that the local government can apply in the future to deal with them. This starts with develop strategic framework, fostering culture of partnership, building capacity-building programs and adopt flexible approach.

Practicing Cultural Humility Will Achieve Recovery-oriented Mental Health Practice and Service Delivery.

The authors have proposed incorporating the concept of cultural humility to achieve better recovery outcomes. While agencies have mandated staff training in cultural competence, health outcomes have not shown promising results. Given the shortcomings of cultural competence training, cultural humility is being suggested as a complementary approach. When providers adopt cultural humility into their interactions with service users, it encompasses underlying principles and values consistent with recovery-oriented practices. Cultural humility addresses power imbalances and emphasizes ongoing self-reflection and openness to interpersonal relationships. The authors believe that embracing cultural humility will promote dignity and respect, create a culture of collaboration and partnership, acknowledge the uniqueness of each individual, enhance person-centered care, and foster self-determination and autonomy. The application of a cultural humility lens can promote a recovery-oriented culture within mental health services, and it is the responsibility of providers to actively cultivate cultural humility. Overall, cultural humility presents new opportunities for practice, and its adoption may be a key factor in promoting a recovery-oriented culture within mental health services.

Partners in academic endeavour: Characterising student engagement across internationally excellent medical schools

There is increasing interest in how student engagement can be enhanced in medical schools: not just engagement with learning but with broader academic practices such as curriculum development, research, organisational leadership, and community involvement. To foster evidence-based practice, it is important to understand how institutions from diverse sociocultural contexts achieve excellence in student engagement. We analysed 11 successful applications for an international award in student engagement and interviewed nine key informants from five medical schools across four continents, characterising how and why student engagement was fostered at these institutions. Document analysis revealed considerable consensus on the core practices of student engagement, as well as innovative and creative practices often in response to local strengths and challenges. The interviews uncovered the importance of an authentic partnership culture between students and faculty which sustained mutually beneficial enhancements across multiple domains. Faculty promoted, welcomed, and acted on student inputs, and students reported greater willingness to participate if they could see the benefits. These combined to create self-perpetuating virtuous cycles of academic endeavour. Successful strategies included having participatory values actively reinforced by senior leadership, engagement activities that are driven by both students and staff, and focusing on strategies with reciprocal benefits for all stakeholders.

How to engage patients in achieving patient safety: A qualitative study from healthcare professionals’ perspective

All parties involved in health care, including patients and their families/caregivers play a significant role to achieve patient safety. Furthermore, patient engagement (PE) has not been adequately implemented to achieve safe healthcare in Indonesia, despite the introduction of the patient-centered care paradigm. This study aims to explore healthcare professionals' (HCPs) perspectives on PE and its application technique. A qualitative study was conducted in the chronic wards of a faith-based private hospital in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. Four focus group discussions among 46 HCPs, followed by 16 in-depth interviews, were carried out. Furthermore, the verbatim transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis. The result showed four main themes, including PE as a strategy for achieving safe healthcare, factors affecting its implementation, the need for comprehensive strategies to engage the patients, and their roles in safety efforts. Furthermore, the implementation of PE can be enhanced by encouraging healthcare professionals (HCPs) to play proactive roles in empowering recipients. To achieve PE, “partnership culture” and the removal of potential barriers as well as determining factors, must be established. This requires a high-level commitment, organizational support with a top-down approach, and integration into healthcare systems. In conclusion, PE is essential for patient safety and can be enhanced by strengthening organization support, integrating into the healthcare system, improving HCPs’ roles, and empowering patients and caregivers to overcome potential barriers.

Using Participatory Co-Design to identify industries’ specific employability needs for targeted Micro-credentials

Industry-focused micro-credentials are paving the way to a new ‘culture of partnership’ between higher education and industry (Dawkins & Bean, 2021). With rapid changes in industries and workplaces, micro-credentials offer potential to enhance transitions from learning to work and respond to industries’ emerging workforce needs. However, this potential can only be realised if micro-credentialed learning achievements are both recognised and valued by industries and employers. Thus, strong and engaged partnership with industries is key. Over the past five years, we have been utilising ‘Participatory Co-Design’ (PCD) (Kristiansen & Bloch-Poulsen, 2013), combined with an evidence-based, ethnographic Design Thinking approach (Liedtka & Ogilvies 2011, Liedtka, 2018), to develop employability frameworks for several professions with both educational and professional lenses. Gomez, Kya and Mancevice (2018) argue that PCD ‘represents a sociocultural theoretical commitment to learning from, and designing for, local contexts’ (p.403). Our experience has shown that PCD offers a powerful pathway to productive partnerships that combine educational and industry expertise and insights, to surface current and future employability needs. Starting with global scans of emerging industry needs, we built out prototypes to test resonance with industry experts and gather feedback to iterate our models. This process resulted in employability frameworks that are being embedded in a range of post-graduate and professional short-form courses. The PCD process is a logical choice for validating industries’ specific employability needs for micro-credentials across tertiary and professional education. Through applying this approach, contextualised design principles are co-defined, specific employability needs are confirmed, and industry leaders and stakeholders buy into both the process and ultimately the verified learning achievements targeted by micro-credentials. This Pecha Kucha session provides an overview of our process, opportunities and challenges we have experienced, and what’s next.

Unrealised Potential: A Survey of Students as Partners in Australian University Libraries

Student partnership, a growing phenomenon in higher education, has transformed the way universities collaborate with students. Yet, to date, the academic library has rarely been examined as a place for student and staff partnerships to thrive. In this article, we present findings from a national students as partners benchmarking survey conducted across Australian academic libraries, with responses from library staff representing 35 universities across six states (n = 210). Our findings highlight that while many library staff see the potential benefits to student partnership, this potential is largely unrealised. Our findings further tackle the commonly perceived barriers to partnership specific to the library context, such as staff understanding of student partnership and its corresponding practices as well as challenges and barriers to student engagement. We conclude with a recommendation for more reflection in academic libraries on how to create a connected and relationship-rich culture of partnership.

CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF ONLINE LIBRARY SERVICES IN THE NEW NORMAL: THE WESTERN MINDANAO STATE UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE

As higher education institutions strictly follow health protocols due to the COVID-19 pandemic, moving of classes including the closing of libraries is a way of helping the government to mitigate the spread of Coronavirus. To that effect, libraries have also responded to the challenging needs in the educational system. In the Western Mindanao State University library where online services are offered, where the purpose of this study attempted to look into the challenges and opportunities faced by its stakeholders and the extent of satisfaction. The quantitative-qualitative research design employing a descriptive survey method was used. In the selection of respondents, systematic random sampling was also employed, and the five (5) point Likert-type questionnaire checklist was utilized. While a purposive sampling was also employed to library personnel. A total of 384 respondents coming from the students, faculty administrative personnel/staff, and library personnel were utilized. Based on the findings, OLC or the Online Library Cart facilitated by a social media platform was a big help to educators and learners in the academic community. The challenges and opportunities have also brought in the delivery of online services’ operation. The low internet connectivity and lack of personnel competency in the online delivery, among others were considered as challenges. In attaining quality library service, increase in the acquisition of e-resources, upgrading of personnel’s skills as well as strengthening the culture of partnership and collaboration are major factors to create an avenue to improve library services, the online delivery, in particular. The overall mean of 4.74 revealed a high level of satisfaction result from the three groups of respondents, implying that WMSU library online services are very much effective and functioning excellently. It is, therefore, concluded that online services offered by the WMSU Library should be sustained not only to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic but also to support the challenging needs of blended learning education in Western Mindanao.

Patient engagement in healthcare: a preliminary set of measures to evaluate patient engagement in the European Reference Networks.

Aim: The European Reference Networks (ERNs) provide clinicians and patients the opportunity to collaborate at EU level to improve diagnosis, care and treatment for people living with rare and complex conditions. However, building a partnership culture to systematically involve patients in ERN activities and decision-making structures is challenging, partly because the role of patient representatives and the value of this collaboration are not always understood. The objective of this project was to develop an evaluation framework to assess the impact of patient engagement in the ERNs and to provide evidence on the value of patient-clinician partnership. Methods: The evaluation was developed by EURORDIS and patient representatives involved in the ERNs (ePAG advocates) through a participatory and iterative process. The work was organised in three different phases: (1) clarify roles and identify common goals for ePAG advocates’ engagement in the ERNs; (2) define a set of measures; and (3) test the measures in three different ePAGs (European Patient Advocacy Groups). Results: The project allowed developing a common understanding among ePAG advocates of their role and goals in the ERNs and defining a patient-driven evaluation framework to assess their level of engagement in the ERNs’ activities and how effectively they were working to fulfil their role. Conclusion: Engaging with ERN clinicians to refine the framework would probably render it more relevant to the reality and priorities of the specific ERNs and more valuable as a tool to build a strong partnership culture. Such an evaluation framework could be integrated into the ERNs’ quality improvement system to ensure that the networks’ activities are driven by and remain responsive to patients’ needs.

Community Policing in Crime Management in Ongata Rongai, Kenya

Community policing is an approach to policing that brings together the police and local communities to develop local solutions to safety and security concerns. This study sought to assess community policing in crime management in OngataRongai, Kajiado County. The study was guided by three specific objectives; to examine community policing partnerships, to analyze crime intervention techniques and to identify organizational features in crime management in OngataRongai. Broken Windows ‘Theory’ of Crime was applied in addressing the theoretical background of the study as well as linking it to the study objectives. Descriptive research design was used as the methodology for carrying out research. The target population for this study comprised Kenya National Police Service, State officers from the Ministry of Interior, Government policing agencies, and stakeholders from Religious groups Community-Based Organizations, civil society organizations, business community, the private security industry, the media, Non-Governmental Organizations, special needs groups, educational institutions, youth and women’s organizations. Purposive sampling was utilized and the sample size was 100 respondents. The study used questionnaires, guided interview schedules, telephone interviews and focused group discussions. A total of 3 Focus Group Discussions and 4 key informant interviews were conducted. Validity and reliability of the questionnaires were determined by conducting a pilot study in the adjacent sub-county of Ngong. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data was presented through content analysis as obtained from the field exercise. The major findings of the study include; the existing partnerships were not effective due to lack of trust and interest between the police and members of public to CP program in OngataRongai; the introduction of flood lights, mulika platform, marking/naming of streets, regular foot and mobile patrols, KaziMtaani Programmes, installation of CCTV Cameras and zoning of areas had enhanced safety and security by positively contributing to a decrease in crime; LEMELEPO, Ole Kassasi, and OngataRongai CBOs had assisted to bring down levels of crime. These were some of the key recommendations; The police should cultivate a culture of partnership with members of the public by identifying and striving to overcome the problem of long-standing mutual mistrust and suspicion; the government should ensure the police are equipped adequately with the necessary logistics, training, terms and conditions of service and facilitation to enable the them discharge their mandate effectively; members of public should be sensitised on the importance of having good relationship with the police and providing information concerning insecurity and other forms of crime; and lastly the government should create an enabling environment for the conduct of business in the country to prevent the youth from engaging in criminal activities.

СТРАТЕГІЇ ОСВІТИ ДЛЯ КРЕАТИВНОГО СУСПІЛЬСТВА

The article is devoted to considering the conditions for building a creative society in Ukraine and the role of education in this. Since the main goal of a creative society is to identify and maximize the use of intellectual resources of people, this reveals a demand for professionalism, a high level of education and the realization of the creative potential of an individual. Such a concept marks the transition from individual creativity to creativity as a social phenomenon. A creative society is characterized by horizontal network connections, self-organization, the formation of a creative class, and the development of creative and cultural industries. All this provokes changes in education, which primarily has a social mission, and its "product" directly affects all spheres of life. So, it is not only about educational programs aimed at the technologies of the future, the spread of creative incubators and support for startups. It is about the formation of humanitarian intellectual capital of the country, its cultural diversity, strengthening of the culture of partnership and trust, creation of creative ecosystems in which higher education institutions are key institutions.

School Counselors’ Leadership Role in Creating a Collaborative School Climate for Linguistically Diverse Students

School systems are increasingly diverse communities, with a broadening diversity of students and staff alike. School counselors play a critical role in creating a welcoming school climate within the school community. As a catalyst for change within the school system, school counselors can create an effective community partnership culture for schools and families that is collaborative and welcoming for all. This article will discuss the importance of creating a collaborative school climate for linguistically diverse students (LDS) in order to promote their overall well-being and school achievement. With this objective in mind, a review of the literature on school counselor’s leadership role within the school community will be discussed, before embarking on an investigation into the effectiveness of counselors as agents of systemic change in facilitating engagement. A discussion of school counselors’ role in creating a welcoming school climate towards LDS within the school and school community could pave the way for a more positive organizational culture. Using a systemic approach, which aims to generate greater understanding and awareness, school counselors have the power to play a critical role in the transformation of the school system, especially for students from diverse backgrounds (Aydin, 2011; McCall-Perez, 2000; Schwallie-Giddis, Anstrom, Sanchez, Sardi, & Granato, 2004).

PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATIONAL WISDOM IN THE HEALTH TOURISM INDUSTRY

Health tourism is when patients travel to another state (or within a country) to improve or restore health (Hudson and Li, 2012). Recent studies show that health care spending is on the rise, averaging around 9 percent of GDP in OECD countries, and that the right balance needs to be struck between spending on disease prevention and treatment. Assessing the problem field of the health tourism industry and the current situation, the following key problems are identified: lack of communication and support between health tourism policy makers and health tourism organizations; lack of a culture of cooperation and organizational partnership between the public and private sectors; lack of strategic planning; gaps in the targeted distribution of responsibilities between actors in the health tourism network; resistance of the public and private sector to change. Thus, the article solves the problem – how to ensure the effective application of the principles of organizational wisdom in the health tourism industry? According to the authors, it is expedient for the organizations involved in this complex field of tourism to base their activities on the principles of organizational wisdom. The aim of the article is to propose the application of the principles of organizational wisdom in the health tourism industry. For the systematic review, scientific articles were searched in databases: Cambridge Journals Online; EBSCO; Emerald Publishing; SAGE Journals Online; Science direct; Taylor & Francis. The scientific articles included in the systematic review cover the period 1999-2020. The following methods are used to present the results of the research: comparative analysis, synthesis, graphical representation and generalization. The study identified the following essential principles of organizational wisdom that are appropriate to adapt in the health tourism industry: transformational leadership; organizational culture, management structure and teamwork; recognition of environmental change and rapid and effective response to it; systemic thinking; interaction between different organizations that can lead to high-quality solutions (innovation); the ability to accumulate organizational memory to compare past and present situations and decisions made. The authors in the article substantiate the opinion that the sustainability of the application of these principles depends on the mechanism of organizational partnership in organizing / creating health tourism cooperative. Such an organization has: a balanced structure and clearly defined roles and responsibilities of participants; long-term commitments are matched by specific short-term objectives that can be measured; periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of the role played by each partner; accurate and effective communication between partners and all stakeholders.

Partnership evaluation: An application of a developmental framework to the Governance and Local Development project in Senegal

This study explores the valued-added of USAID/Senegal’s Governance for Local Development (GOLD) project’s integrated approach to working with four sector projects: two in health, one in water and sanitation, and one in nutrition. The study builds on a partnership evaluation framework that identifies practices related to preconditions, factors linked with success, implementation structures and processes, contribution of collaboration to performance, and collaboration outcomes. A survey instrument developed statements of positive practices and asked respondents to agree or disagree with each one. The analysis includes exploration of differences in perception. Respondents generally expressed agreement with the statements in the survey instrument associated with the various dimensions of effective partnerships. All projects mentioned the presence of partnership champions. Problems with joint action (e.g., planning, budgeting, managing) were the most frequently cited constraints. The study confirms most of the hypotheses embedded in the evaluation framework regarding partnership’s potential for creating synergies and improved outcomes and affirms the framework’s usefulness as a developmental evaluation tool. Positive outcomes result from intentional efforts to build relationships, cultivate champions, and design systems and processes that support a partnership culture and contribute to each partners’ success as well as the success of the partnership itself.

Assessment of the Development Level of the Moral Competences of Police Decision-Makers from the Perspective of the Assumptions of Police Partnership in the Sphere of Human Security

The study considers the assumptions for the cultural transformation of the Polish Police for the benefit of further socialization of its activities. The point of reference in this study was the assumptions of a partnership police culture preferred in Western culture and based mainly on moral rules. The description of the police partnership culture was also made in relation to the classic police culture. On the basis of the presented empirical research, the gap in moral competences of the assessed decision-makers was described in a variant version, which occurs between the identified level of development of moral competences and the one postulated by the assumptions of the police partnership culture, in the structure of the entire research sample and taking into account its division into decision-makers from local and higher-level units command. The results of the research showed, socially unacceptable in the sphere of human safety, discrepancies between the identified and postulated state in the context of the requirements of a police partnership culture, as well as a higher level of development of moral competences of decision-makers from local Police units in relation to decision-makers from provincial Police headquarters and the Police Headquarters.
