Competency of Teachers and Laboratory Environment in an Online Setting as Predictors of Science Process Skills of Students: A Convergent Design

This study determined the influence of the competency of teachers and the laboratory environment in an online setting on the students’ science process skills using mixed methods approach-convergent design. Participants of the study were 2nd year students from different Higher Education Institutions in Region XI, Philippines. Further, to gather data relative to the research questions, the researcher used adapted survey tools and an interview guide. Results showed that students always observed the competence of their teachers, with a favorable laboratory environment in an online setting leading to the acquisition of science process skills. Furthermore, regarding the relationship of variables, the study revealed that the competency of teachers did not have a significant relationship with students’ science process skills. At the same time, there was a considerable correlation between the laboratory environment in an online setting and students’ science process skills. The students’ lived experiences in acquiring science process skills formed essential themes. Moreover, there was a merging-converging nature of the competency of teachers and the laboratory environment in an online setting and a merging-diverging character on students’ science process skills and significant influence of the variables under study. Results of the study will help the teachers identify the factors that can affect the acquisition of science process skills of students in an online learning environment and develop intervention programs to ensure globally competitive graduates. It is further believed that this study will benefit the institution, teachers, and most especially the students who were the main reason for the teaching and learning process. Hence, future studies may be conducted by academic scholars or researchers based on the information gathered from this research. Areas of interest can be other factors that affect the students’ acquisition of science process skills and utilize a comparative study involving different courses with chemistry laboratory subjects.

ИСТОРИЧЕСКАЯ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ СИСТЕМЫ ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО СОПРОВОЖДЕНИЯ СПОРТСМЕНОВ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ ЕЕ ДАЛЬНЕЙШЕГО РАЗВИТИЯ

The high level of training of athletes is the result of intense long-term physical training, however, in modern conditions the development of psychological qualities of an athlete is no less important. In the process of historical transformation the system of psychological support for athletes has repeatedly confirmed its effectiveness. Specialists who continued to work in the system of sports psychology in the Republic of Belarus after obtaining the status of an independent status managed with great difficulty to retain a significant part of their accumulated experience and continue the development of this area. Unfortunately, at present, the activities of the sports psychology service are mainly concentrated in the Minsk region and work with athletes from the regions is not of a permanent qualitative nature. However, there is a perspective of forming a unified republican service of sports psychological support through the involvement of the teaching staff and graduates of the psychological profile of regional higher educational institutions in cooperation with specialists in the field of physical culture and sports. Based on the results of a pilot research project conducted by employees of the Mental Health Medicine Faculty of the Grodno State Medical University it was possible to determine the areas of research work that will contribute to the development of a system of psychological support for athletes in the Grodno region.

Quality Assurance Mechanisms towards Global Concerns and Innovations among the Higher Education Institutions in Region XII

This study was focused on the Quality Assurance Mechanisms utilized by the HEI’s in Region XII in relation to global concern and innovation particularly among 12 public and private colleges and universities under the jurisdiction of the Commission on Higher Education in Region XII. Specifically, described internal and external quality assurance mechanism utilized by HEIs relate these with global concerns and innovations observed and the performance of the respondent HEIs in the areas of Accreditation Level, Board Exam passing rate and Graduation Rate. The study was limited to 10 public and private colleges and universities of Region XII that offers degree programs with board exam and submitted for accreditation for the past three (3) years. Respondents were 603 MIS/Registrar, school administrators, faculty and staff and 3rd year and 4th year college students. Descriptive – correlational research design was used. Data were gathered using survey questionnaires, check list and secondary data. Mean, percentage, and Pearson r correlation were the statistical tools used. Study revealed that Internal and external Quality Assurance Mechanism is greatly observed, global concerns and innovations can be realized in 10 years’ time and the HEI’s performance is generally does not surpass the National Passing Rate, majority of the programs are not accredited yet and generally, only few students can graduate within the prescribed period on the degree programs with board examination. HEIs internal and external quality assurance mechanism has very little correlation with board examination performance and accreditation level. A moderately small positive relationship between HEI global concern and innovations and the internal quality assurance mechanism while there is a high positive correlation with external quality assurance mechanism. Therefore, in house policies and level of accreditation does not warrant a good performance in board exam but the more the HEI submit the program to peer review, the more the chance of going global. It is therefore recommended that all indicators of quality assurance mechanism and other media shall be considered to ensure quality education and to be globally competitive.

Індикативна собівартість як чинник формування ринку освітніх послуг: регіональний аспект (на прикладі спеціальності 072 «Фінанси, банківська справа та страхування»)

The article assesses the impact of the introduction of indicative self-cost on the volume of recruitment of regional universities (on the example of higher education institutions of the Dnipropetrovsk region, which recruit applicants for education on the bachelor’s degree on the basis of complete general secondary education in the specialty 072 «Finance, Banking and Insurance»). The carried out analysis of the indicators of the admission campaign for the specialty in Ukraine showed that during 2019-2022 the volume of the State procurement decreased, and the volume of recruitment of applicants for the contract increased during 2018-2020, and in 2021-2022 it had a significant decline. This is explained by the implemented norm for setting prices for educational services not lower than the calculated minimum cost of education. The analysis of prices for educational services in the HEIs of the city of Dnipro in 2020-2021 showed that prices for education in accordance with the new system in public universities increased 1.17–2.05 times, with the exception of private HEIs and higher education institutions of agrarian orientation, which is non-profile for the analyzed specialty. In addition, prices turned out to be higher than those of leading universities, which are leaders in recruitment for specialty 072 in Ukraine. The evaluation of the results of the admission campaign in in the HEIs of the city of Dnipro in the context of the introduction of indicative self-cost showed that recruitment indicators decreased in all universities (except for those where there was a significant increase in prices). In addition, the share of the region’s recruitment in the number of admitted to studying according to the specialty in Ukraine has also decreased. This indicates negative trends towards a shift in the preferences of applicants from admission to public HEIs to admission to private ones as well as non-profile universities (usually in a technical direction) due to the lower price of educational services. In addition, as result of a sharp increase in prices in regional higher education institutions, they have lost a competitive advantage over prestigious universities in the capital city. Until the end of martial law, the related resolution was suspended, which affected the results of the admission campaign in 2022, but the reduction in recruitment is associated, in particular, with a decrease in the number of outbound applicants to Ukrainian universities.

Creating employee-based brand equity through integrated marketing communication and social media adoption: Indonesian private universities

The study employed a quantitative method to investigate the association between social media adoption, integrated marketing communication, and employee-based brand equity for 34 private universities in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study used a purposive sampling technique to select 67 essential staff members to participate in a questionnaire. Partial Least Square was utilized to assess the hypothesized associations between the constructs in the study using the structural model and the measurement model. Results of the output generated by PLS-SEM exhibit the significance of the Importance–Performance Matrix. The analysis indicates a substantial positive relationship between social media adoption, integrated marketing communication, and employee-based brand equity. The researchers found that the two endogenous latent variables of social media adoption and integrated marketing communication explained 41.1% of the variance in employee-based brand equity, with exogenous factors explaining the remaining 58.9%. The study's implications suggest that integrated marketing communication is critical in building brand equity for private universities in Jakarta, Indonesia. The findings could provide a valuable guide for formulating marketing communication strategies that prioritize social media adoption and integrated marketing communication techniques to improve employee-based brand equity. Overall, the study's findings provide important insights into the association between social media adoption, integrated marketing communication, and employee-based brand equity for private universities in Jakarta, Indonesia, and could have implications for other regional private educational institutions.

Effects of financial literacy and financial behavior on the financial well-being of teachers in higher education institutions in Region 1, Philippines

This study explored the effects of financial literacy and financial behavior on the financial well-being of 360 academic personnel of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Region 1, Philippines. Data were gathered from August 2020 to March 2021 using a self-administered survey questionnaire instrument. This was used to assess the respondents' financial well-being, literacy, and financial behavior, and Pearson’s r was used to test the relationships among the variables. It was found that most of the teachers generally experience moderate financial security rather than financial stress. They were assessed with excellent scores on their financial literacy and most were found to have good financial behavior. It was determined that their financial behavior affected their financial well-being. On the other hand, their financial literacy did not significantly affect their financial well-being. Hence, this study recommends that a financial wellness program tailored for the respondents should focus more on behavior-changing financial coaching rather than financial concepts learning.

Quality of Distance Learning After One and a Half Year From Its Integration Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study at the University of Jordan.

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic mandated the change from face-to-face learning to distance learning. As a result, the quality of distance learning worldwide is questionable. Objectives and aims The aim of this study is to investigate the quality of distance learning among university students at the University of Jordan, as well as its determinants and obstacles. Methods A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate students at the University of Jordan from May 29 to July 11, 2021. Using a quantitative approach, students' attitudes toward and perceptions of online and distance education were analyzed. The Distance Education Learning Environments Survey (DELES) tool was used to evaluate the quality of distance learning during COVID-19 pandemic. IBM SPSS Version 25 was used for data analysis. Results The total number of participants was 486, and the mean total DELES score was 61.6 ± 24.6. The lowest mean of DELES score components was for the active learning component (6.9 ± 2.9). Moreover, 65.9% of the students were very dissatisfied or dissatisfied with the quality of distance learning. The quality of distance learning derived by the total DELES score was determined by several general demographics, and students' perceptions and attitudes. Conclusions The present study showed a low quality of distance learning and high levels of dissatisfaction among students at the University of Jordan. Thus, improvement of distance learning quality by filling its infrastructural defects and the implementation of its adjunct tools are required. In addition, we recommend collaboration with regional and international educational institutions to improve the quality of distance learning.

Formation of bilingualism in the system of higher education of universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation

The purpose of the proposed article is to analyze the prospects for the integration of the Russian higher education system into the European educational space. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that one of the main goals of modern education is the creation of a third-generation higher education system. It is argued that a university teacher should pay special attention to the definition of a new humanitarian and philological paradigm based on the cadet's commitment to the personal component, that is, the formation of an independent and responsible person involved in the educational process. The article highlights the key tasks facing the system of regional higher educational institutions, among which one of the main ones in the process of philological knowledge is the formation of multilingualism (bilingualism and trilingualism) at the university, i.e. knowledge by the cadet of Russian, national (if necessary) and foreign (English, German, Chinese, etc.) languages. In addition, other prospects for the development of regional education in educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia have been identified.
 The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was the problem-axiological and anthropological approaches, as well as methods of analysis, synthesis and comparison. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the integration of modern education is viewed through the prism of existing communications, the synthesis of institutional structures, the current socio-cultural situation, the philological orientation of education, the values that have arisen in the context of changes as a result of the evolution of society as a whole.

ETMIS

Although there are many education information management systems (EMISs) that currently apply administrative development, they contain limited powers, thus leading to the emergence of problems—the most important and damaging of which being the loss of data quality and ensuring how to verify the validity the education and training information management systems (ETMIS) have all emerged within the world to solve these problems, and considering these systems are widely deployed within Arabian, regional educational, and training institutions, each system has both advantages and disadvantages. This study proposed a unique approach for the ETMIS utilizing an open platform with the goal of supporting management, planning, and dissemination of the education and training systems for all in order to support decision-making and is concerned with improving capacity and centralisation and reliability of information.

Teacher Burnout and Collegiality at the Workplace in Higher Education Institutions in the Arab Gulf Region

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of teacher burnout on collegial relationships among faculty members in two higher education institutions- one in Kuwait and the other in the United Arab Emirates. A quantitative methodology was employed using a self-constructed online questionnaire. The results of the study showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the teachers’ perception of burnout and collegiality by gender, age group, and years of experience in teaching at a 0.05 level of significance. However, there was a statistically significant difference between the teachers in Kuwait and the UAE in their perception of burnout, although the difference was not significant for collegiality at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings also showed that the participants’ gender, age, and work experience were not predictors of collegiality, but the perception of burnout was a significant predictor of collegiality. Conclusions were drawn from the study’s findings, with implications for policy, practice, and future research.
