Factors affecting learning outcomes achievement of public administration bachelor students in Ethiopia

Public administration education is a key instrument to address emerging public administration challenges. Ethiopia started public administration education in the 1950s, and currently, 13 public universities are offering bachelor programs in public administration. Nevertheless, PA program learning outcome achievements are not been studied, and comparative studies are absent. By relying on the resource dependency theory and survey data collected from PA Bachelor students ( n = 91) and faculty members ( n = 28) in three PA-teaching public universities, this article tries to fill these gaps. Significant differences were found between students and faculty members, and between universities with regard to PA learning outcome achievements. The variation between universities in terms of access to resources and student support is also substantial. The difference between students and faculty members, and between universities on the PA faculty quality and the quality of the teaching-learning method proved insignificant. The study confirms public administration faculty members, access to resources, and student support services positively influence PA learning outcomes. The article contributes to PA education literature and PA program evaluation.

Business Anthropology and Education: Approaches, Methodologies, and Implications

The contribution of anthropological contents and methods in different aspects of the study of education is significant. The business functions of education in terms of leadership and management of humans, materials and financial resources for optimal outcomes mandates anthropological insights and underpinnings in educational systems. The early works of Hewett, Boas and Montessori paved the way for the application of anthropological contents and methods to the study and practices of educative processes and systems for better understanding and improvement of learning. Anthropological concepts and principles are integral to the domains of foundations of education, curriculum development, culture studies, classroom interactions, multicultural education, business education, policy implementations, educational research and educational administration. In this study, efforts have been made to show the contributions of both anthropologists and educators in the rise of a new field of anthropology of education since the early decades of the twentieth century. The study, thus, examines the confluence of business anthropology and education resulting in the field of anthropology of education. It highlights the historical development of the convergence of anthropology and education, implications of anthropological concepts, contents and methods in educational studies, and the anthropological approaches in the areas of educational research. Ethnographic methods such as grounded theory, documentary content analysis, and action research have greatly contributed to the knowledge of complex educational issues and challenges. They are integral to the study of educational issues through the techniques of purposive sampling, interview, observation, constant comparison, triangulations, key incident, narration, interpretive stance, and other tools of data gathering, interpretation and analysis. The present study emphasises on the significance of anthropological methods in the study of life in classrooms in term of interactions, and the impacts of the classroom environment on learning as school settings and classroom life provide the requisite environment for anthropological inquiries. It also addresses the current practices in the applications of anthropology of education in the areas of teacher education, curriculum development, multicultural education and educational research.

Through the Lens of Teachers: Unveiling Educational Administration and Role Intentions in the Multicultural Mosaic of Greek Schools

<p style="text-align: justify;">This study aims to investigate the views of active primary and secondary education teachers in Greece while implementing educational administration in the modern Greek school for issues related to multiculturalism and their intention to take an active role in co-shaping internal education policy, considering the country's centralized educational system and the flexibility it leaves for the participants in everyday educational reality. 1052 Primary and Secondary education teachers from Greece took part in the research. Descriptive statistics were used, followed by a test of the effect of the sample's social profile on their perceptions, and complex statistical analyzes such as correlations and multiple regression. The findings shape an educational leader who embraces the core principles of intercultural education. According to teachers, these findings are also considered encouraging, since they delineate a teacher who no longer rests, only, in their pedagogical duties, but understands that they must be part of the educational life. Finally, the findings confirmed the influence that an educational leader can exert with their behavior on the teachers at their school. This research sets the basis for the delineation of educational administration in the modern Greek multicultural educational reality by utilizing various statistical methods.</p>

지방교육행정 공무원의 갈등관리유형과 직무만족도의 관계에서 의사소통능력의 매개효과

Objectives The purpose of this study is to find an effective conflict management method and lead a successful professional life by increasing job satisfaction by verifying the mediating effect of communication ability in the re-lationship between conflict management type and job satisfaction of local education administrative officials.
 Methods To this end, a survey was conducted using the conflict management type scale, communication ability scale, and job satisfaction scale, targeting 404 grade 5 local education administration officials in 2023, and re-gression analysis was conducted using the SPSS WIN 23.0 program and the SPSS Macro.
 Results Research results are as follows. First, the conflict management type of local education administration of-ficials had a significant effect on communication ability. Second, the type of conflict management of local educa-tion administration officials had an effect on job satisfaction. Third, among the conflict management types of local education administrative officials, the cooperation, avoidance, and compromise types had a partial mediating ef-fect in which communication ability had a direct effect on job satisfaction, while the competition type had a com-plete mediating effect with only an indirect effect. However, in the dependent type, communication skills did not mediate job satisfaction.
 Conclusions These results require efforts to convert the conflict management type into a cooperative and com-promise type that seeks to obtain the best interests of both sides of the conflict situation through efficient com-munication skills and to resolve it rationally. This suggests the need for customized education that provides pro-grams that can enhance communication skills according to the conflict management type of the students.

Storying Our Mourning and Resistance Through Teaching: Black Women Surviving (and Thriving In) White Spaces

This critical duoethnography explores the experiences of two pre-tenured Black women faculty navigating their varied emotions teaching cultural awareness-building courses at predominantly White institutions during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and racial violence. The authors draw upon Dillard and Bell’s (2011) nkwaethnography to share the stories of ‘we’ instead of the ‘singular self’ and present the data as two composite narratives. Authors use Black Feminist Thought (Collins, 1989, 1990) to make-meaning of their experiences and they highlight two themes: (1) teaching and mourning at the margins and (2) calculated resistance. Implications for Black women faculty who teach cultural awareness-building courses and higher education administration are provided.

The paper emphasizes the importance of fostering good working relationships with all stakeholders, both within and outside the institution. In conclusion, the paper underscores the critical role of funding in CHE institutions and provides recommendations for addressing funding challenges and harnessing funding prospects to enhance the quality of Christian higher education.

Heads of Schools’ Motivational Strategies Used to Improve Students’ Academic Performance in Public Secondary Schools in Korogwe Town Council, Tanzania

The main aim of this study was to research the motivational strategies employed by heads of schools to improve students’ academic performance in public secondary schools in Korogwe Town Council. The study was guided by the ARCS Model of Motivational created by Keller (1990), which presumes that people are motivated to learn if there is value in the knowledge presented and if there is an optimistic expectation for success. The study used a convergent parallel research design under a mixed approach. A study used simple random sampling and automatic techniques to get participants of the study who were students, teachers, heads of Schools, and Ward Educational Officers. The sample for the study was 3 Ward educational officers, 3 heads of schools, fifty-four (54) teachers, making a total of 60 participants. The total population was 9 schools, 9 heads of schools, and 344 teachers in public secondary schools, and 5907 made a total population of 6269 in Korogwe Town Council. The instruments for data collection were questionnaires and an interview guide. A questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data, while an interview guide was used to collect qualitative data. The instruments were validated by two experts from the faculty of education in educational planning and administration (MWECAU). The reliability of quantitative data was established through Cronbach Alpha (r=0.82 for teachers' questionnaire), while the reliability of the qualitative data was established through Persistent Engagement and Triangulation of data. The quantitative data were coded and analyzed into percentages and frequencies using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) version 25. Qualitative data were analyzed by coding contents into themes and presented in narrative form. The quantitative data were presented in figures and tables. The research findings revealed that HoS motivational strategies were inadequate and, therefore, affected students' academic performance. The study concluded that heads of public secondary schools should insist on intrinsic motivational strategies as they cost less than extrinsic motivational strategies. The study recommended that HoS should insist on the use of intrinsic motivational strategies and adjustment of strategies according to needs and time.
