Critical thinking has been an area of special interest for many people and institutions since the existence of humanity. In particular, it has followed a parallel course to the development of humanity in the educational management processes. Many scientists and thinkers related to critical thinking have been engaged in intensive and in-depth efforts. Critical thinking is a complex mental negotiation process involving various skills and attitudes. It is a cognitive activity associated with using the mind. Critical thinking; it requires applying analysis and evaluation methods that include mental skills such as learning, attention, classification, selection, judgment. Although some people may be able to develop critical thinking more effectively, they avoid it for various reasons, regardless of ability. Especially personal, emotional and affective reasons can be the basis for this situation. In the content of the study, the methods of evaluating critical thinking in educational management will be discussed in an explanatory way in the special of the relevant tables.

Eğitim Yönetimi Süreçlerinde Eleştirel Düşünmenin Gelişimini Etkileyen Faktörlerin İncelenmesi

The sine qua non of educational management processes is critical thinking. It is natural that the primary effort of those engaged in educational management should be on critical thinking. Some problems may occur from time to time in front of critical thinking in educational management. In general, it is possible to group them as hereditary and environmental factors. The hereditary dimension is the effect of a person's cognitive, emotional and spiritual characteristics on critical thinking skills. Within the scope of environmental factors; family, society and school are seen as effective. Family attitudes that do not trust their child and do not recognize and support opportunities in an intellectual sense negatively affect thinking development. At the social level, which is another factor, a social structure containing prejudicial, religious, sexual and political prohibitions hinders the development of critical individuals. In addition, it is known that students who have not received critical thinking teaching during the initial years of education experience difficulties in transitioning from existing learning structures to teaching critical thinking. It is expected that teachers will be at an adequate level in teaching critical thinking. The fact that good planning has not been done also makes it difficult to teach critical thinking.

Educational Environment Management in the Perspective of Climate Change in Indonesia

Education has been managed in such a way that the maximum educational goals can be achieved. In its implementation, education is certainly inseparable from management and its surrounding environment. In management, the presence of the right strategy and a solid team is needed so that the goals can be achieved. Meanwhile, the strategy in management itself only reacts to the human-shaped environment, which is society. Both management and the school environment have strong interactions and influences on the education management process. Educational institutions' management must ensure that their methods are in line with societal demands, as social and cultural institutions have a significant impact on how the institution operates. The educational environment should be managed in such a way that the educational goals can be achieved. With good interaction and support from the community and parties related to the educational environment, it is hoped that schools will advance. In other words, good cooperation from lecturers, parents, education boards, committees, and the community around the school environment is believed to be able to develop potential and improve the quality of education.

Study of International Relations students’ motivation: Assessing the effectiveness of educational process management via Action Research strategy

Introduction. The article raises the problem of increasing motivation among university students in learning their major. Despite the fact that a large number of research articles are devoted to the problem of motivation, the issue of assessing the effectiveness of educational process management as one of the key factors in creating a motivating educational environment, remains insufficiently studied. The aim of this study is to determine and describe an effective strategy of intervention and external support for students majoring in “International Relations” in order to increase motivation in learning their academic major via Action Research. Materials and Methods. The methodology is based on Activity theory, person-oriented approach, educational environment assessment, literature review, project-based learning, role-plays and Action Research, as well as on quantitative, qualitative and interpretive research. An analytical review has been carried out in order to identify methods and technologies that can be used to increase motivation to educational activities. Quantitative and qualitative methods include two surveys with subsequent interpretation of the results obtained and provide the basis for developing and testing the strategy of assessing the effectiveness of educational process management. Results. The results of the surveys and their interpretation analysis have demonstrated a high level of student interest in English as a foreign language yet with an insufficient level of motivation for their major, as well as the students’ assessment of professional role-playing games as an effective and emotionally comfortable form of education. Based on Action Research and project-based learning the authors developed an action strategy, substantiated the principles of its implementation, the degree of intervention and external support while maintaining psychological comfort and the level of student autonomy. The authors found that increased involvement is also determined by the freedom to choose the focus of the project, a meaningful professional context, successful team work and effective management of the educational process. The results of the intervention helped the authors to develop recommendations for replicating and scaling up the experience gained. Conclusions. In conclusion, inferences are made about the importance of effective external management for increasing motivation among the students. It has been proven that a sufficient level of intervention in the educational process and external support allow for higher degree of engagement and motivation in learning majors. Conclusions are also made about the Action Research method as a basis for effective management of the educational process, solving didactic problems, adjusting teaching interventions and assessing the results obtained.

Eğitim Yönetimi Süreçlerinde İhtiyaç Analiz Metotlarının İncelenmesi

In general, the needs analysis models in educational management processes have four stages: the organizational screening stage, the data collection stage, the data analysis/interpretation stage and the action stage. During the organization screening phase, it is necessary to identify potential issues that will arise in the needs analysis and to clarify problems. It aims to be able to see the big picture, identify stakeholders, explore informal powers and influences, reveal opinions, see new trends, identify new sources, situations whose supports are against it, identify limitations. The data collection phase is the phase in which information is clearly focused. It is determined at this stage who, which officials, will be investigated. This stage is a more formal research process. The goal is to decide which people and groups to collect information from. Determining the needs analysis is actually a system intervention. This intervention can be characterized as preparation for change in the organizational system with the needs of the organization, goals, expectations of people, competencies needed by a person and an organization in a common cluster, or new equipment. When determining the method to be used, it should be aimed to obtain the data in the highest quality way. The data interpretation stage is the most important stage in the design of education. By categorizing the data, needs, problematic areas and deficiencies are determined. At this stage, non-educational needs should also be included in the data. While logical results are obtained with concrete data, intuitions, emotions, opinions can also produce results that support these results. A synthesis of concrete data and tables with information about new and different ideas can reveal fruitful results. At the action stage, the design of the training will also become concrete along with the reporting of the analysis of the collected data. This stage is the last stage that completes the whole process. Key Words: Educational Management, Educational Needs, Methods of Analyzing Needs

The role of digital technologies in higher education institutions: The case of Kazakhstan

The ways of education development are changing, which is largely determined by the introduction of digital technologies and the desire to improve the efficiency of management of educational processes at universities. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the challenges and opportunities in universities related to the use of digital technologies (social media tools, digital online platforms, digital learning platforms) in higher education institutions in Kazakhstan. A sample included respondents (N = 69) from 16 educational institutions in Kazakhstan that combined teaching (conducting training courses or working with students) and administrative management (management or planning of the educational process). The data were obtained using an offline questionnaire and processed using SWOT methodology. Representatives from 16 public and private universities responded to the questionnaire: the rector (2%) and two vice-rectors (3%), deans of faculties (23%), directors, and heads of various departments of universities (71%) were interviewed (managers are engaged in teaching). As a result, six thematic outcomes demonstrated the opportunities for technology application in education: enhancing management quality, motivation, access to electronic resources and materials, transparency and objectivity in grading, the possibility of implementing distance learning, and simplification of routine tasks. It is also noteworthy to mention five thematic outcomes as challenges, which encompassed issues with security, technical errors, reduced communication, dependency, and complexities in grading. AcknowledgmentsThe study was carried out within the framework of grant funding by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan “Modernization of the system of distribution relations and reduction of income inequality of the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan” BR21882165.

Eğitim Aktivite Uygulamalarının Pratik Evrimi

Due to the wide variety of socio-economic conditions of the policies applied in the educational management processes, as well as the diversity of the educational policies themselves, it is not possible to determine the most appropriate implementation procedures. During the development of educational activities, problem issues in education do not arise suddenly and spontaneously. In many cases, uncovering an issue, dramatizing it, drawing attention to it, and communicating the issue to the public and pressuring decision makers to do something about it are important strategic tactics. Educational activity applications require the cooperation of different institutions. The fact that each institution fulfills its own responsibility and the necessary cooperation between institutions will increase the effectiveness of the application. The plans to be made should be developed so that students and families are aware of the goals of a new initiative so that communities learn the benefits of acting together. In the plan, funds, physical objects and human resources should be arranged clearly and in detail so that there is no doubt who will do when, how and what, physical resources, the contents of possible lists should be placed and it should be ensured that they are available. Financial resources for possible use should be placed in appropriate places to minimize the delay of implementation, and the personnel necessary to put the plan into effect should be made available only for this work, without any other work. Programs should also be developed for teachers, education administrators and those who represent them. Since new initiatives usually mean some form of redefining jobs, it is important that educators see this as useful, and those who oppose change should be isolated here. The personnel to be selected for the success of the application must meet the conditions required for the application. In other words, the personnel selected by the policy should be compatible with each other. The technical knowledge necessary to guide the application of sociopolitical education should be learned by those who will do this job, and the administrative systems guided by sociopolitical education should be clearly structured.

DEVELOPMENT OF A MODEL FOR IMPLEMENTING A CASE METHOD FOR INTERACTIVE STUDY PROCESS MANAGEMENT MONITORING

The importance of this research topic lies in the need to gather, store, analyze and disseminate accurate information on the management status of educational institutions to guarantee the provision of quality educational services. This is particularly crucial in the current trend towards digitalizing educational work and utilizing the internet to facilitate practical management tasks. The study aims to construct a case method model to supervise educational process management outcomes. For that purpose, the study scrutinises the implementation methodologies of existing case models to monitor and analyse the situation without human intervention. Also, the investigation entails creating an implementation algorithm and a simulation model of an interactive case method to monitor educational activities. The formalized logical-semantic apparatus is used to address the research problems. The algorithm development and simulation modeling enabled correlation of the obtained answer with the assigned task, automating the results output. Generating answers in the case method involves considering rules based on the base word, answer keywords, and constraints (true/false). These elements are part of the thesaurus specific to the survey domain and are included in the test's base vocabulary. To test an answer against a question, each inductive step is viewed through a logical formula. Logical statements such as conjunction, disjunction, logical negation, implication, and equivalence are represented by formulas. This method enables the evaluation of the respondent's answer based on the nodes within the statement tree integrated into the test. The progression from the initial word to the node-connection generates an automated assessment of individual educational process management standards. This study enables the enhancement of automated monitoring capabilities for the University's educational process results. The research suggests the potential for developing models and algorithms to form question sets and enable individualized assessments based on the respondent's performance. As a consequence, the devised algorithm and simulation model for the interactive case approach are showcased. During the testing, the key words and example words were compared with the responses of the participants and specific results were obtained. Additional case vocabulary terms need to be added to address the limitations encountered during the model testing and the testing period.

Literature and art integration education: A Study on the Integration of Teaching Resources in Colleges and Universities in the Context of “Five Educational Programs”

Abstract The “five education” is a new way of thinking and a new paradigm of educational practice in the new era. After analyzing the integrated teaching practice model in the context of “five education” from multiple dimensions, the study establishes a teaching resources integration index system based on the CIPP evaluation model in terms of background, input, process, and result. Taking the integration of teaching resources in the College of Fine Arts and College of Literature of a university in Xinjiang as the research object, analyze the integration measurement of teaching resources and the influencing factors of teachers’ teaching ability. The results show that the teaching management process is the greatest contributor to the integration of teaching resources (0.251). The integration of teaching resources in the sample universities is at a good level (3.811), and their faculty management and teaching process management are excellent. The positive and significant influence of teachers’ teaching cognitive ability, teaching practical ability, and teaching monitoring ability and their dimensions on teachers’ teaching ability was verified (p < 0.05), and the degree of influence was moderate. This paper discusses the integration of teaching resources in the context of “five education”, which can help to promote deep change in classroom teaching and build a high-quality education system.

Research on Informatization Construction of Educational Management Innovation Path in Colleges and Universities in the Intelligent Era

Abstract The prevailing education management systems in colleges and universities are antiquated, adversely impacting not only the administrative efficiency but also the formulation of faculty teaching plans and class schedules, as well as the management of student electives and credit accrual. This paper presents an innovation and optimization of the existing system, wherein education management processes are categorized into seven distinct modules. It delineates the flow and integration of heterogeneous data sources within the system, leveraging heterogeneous database technology as the foundational framework. Subsequently, we redesign heterogeneous computation scheduling and adaptation, enhancing distributed database allocation and query algorithms. The culmination of this research is the development of a novel pathway for the education management information system in higher education institutions. Upon empirical testing of the system proposed in this paper, we explore its practical implications through IPA analysis. User satisfaction is notably high in areas such as A4 invigilation information, A13 subjective grading of routine assessments, A14 querying and feedback on grades, and A15 remediation of failed courses, with performance ratings of 4.77008, 4.73981, 4.8961, and 4.86558 respectively. These indices predominantly reside in the “continue to maintain” and “oversupply” zones, indicating the substantial efficacy of the innovative college management information system introduced herein. This study significantly contributes to the standardization and intellectualization of college administrative processes, proposing new paradigms and methodologies for the integration of educational management and information technology within tertiary institutions.

INCREASING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF AN OPEN UNIVERSITY IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Digital transformation and globalization processes require universities to adapt to new challenges and demands of society and integrate the principles of sustainable development into all areas of their activities. Under martial law, the issue of increasing the competitiveness of universities is particularly relevant. Each university seeks to attract the most talented students, teachers, and researchers. One of the tools for assessing the competitiveness of universities is international rankings, including those aimed at measuring the achievements of universities in the field of sustainable development and their contribution to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, which are an indicator of effective management and improvement of the quality of education for its sustainability. The key rankings that rank universities by their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals are the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, QS World University Rankings, and UI GreenMetric. Based on the analysis of the methodologies of these rankings, are identified the main criteria and indicators used in each of the rankings that have a significant impact on the competitiveness of the university in the context of sustainable development. The analysis made it possible to outline the guidelines for the university's activities to improve its ranking in the context of sustainable development, and the recommendations of the European Association of Universities prompted and became the basis for the development of the Roadmap (Policy) for Sustainable Development, which consolidates key strategic guidelines aimed at systematic integration of sustainable development principles in the areas of the university's activities: education for sustainable development, research and innovation, social impact, public engagement, partnership and cooperation, image and sustainable reputation, sustainable infrastructure. The Sustainable Development Roadmap (Policy) is aimed at systematically integrating sustainability principles into the educational process, research, and management processes of the university. The goals identified by the areas of activity will serve as indicators for the development of an internal sustainability rating of the university's structural units, which will improve the university's ranking in international sustainability rankings and ensure its competitiveness.
