Implementation of Digital Policy Experimental Analysis in Higher Education on The Level of Graduates' Absorption in Industry

This research aims to analyze the impact of deregulation of the university system on the labor market. We used a sample of 100 people in this research. The research results indicate that without deregulation, most individuals who access university studies would likely only pursue their education. This study uses the year or birth cohort as an exogenous characteristic to implement the instrumental variable strategy. This makes it possible to estimate the causal impact of university education on several employment outcomes, especially wages and labor informality. An admitted university estimates that each year of study will increase the salary. We estimate the cumulative impact of access to university studies. However, the effect of university education on wages turns out to be heterogeneous, depending on individual socio-economic characteristics. The effect tends to be higher in women and individuals in the highest family income quintile. The evidence aligns with other international research regarding the salary premium of university education and its impact on human capital. The results show that for each year of university study, the probability of informality in employment decreases, notably reducing the probability of not having an employment contract. However, we found no significant impact on the probability of not having a pension fund affiliation, suggesting a structural dimension of informality in the labor market that may not be dependent on workers' education level.

Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Çevresel Tutum ve Çevre Okuryazarlığı Düzeyine İlişkin Özellikleri: Hemşirelik Fakültesi Örneği

Environmental health problems are increasing day by day and threaten public health. In this study, it was aimed to determine the characteristics of nursing students on environmental literacy and environmental attitudes. In this descriptive study, data were collected from 388 nursing students between March and June 2021. Data were collected through The Environmental Literacy Scale for Adults and the Environmental Attitude Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-test, anova and regression analyzes were used to evaluate data. It was found that 47.9% of the students participating in the study were in the first grade and 96.6% of the students were not members of an environmental organization and 55.4% did not participate in any educational program related to the environment. A statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of the total mean scores of scales in terms of the environmental education status of the students, the effect of university education on environmental awareness, and the effect of the pandemic process on environmental awareness (p

The health returns of attending university for the marginally eligible student.

A key policy question is whether continued expansion of university education is beneficial for the marginally eligible student. In this paper we exploit an arbitrary university eligibility rule combined with regression discontinuity design to estimate the causal effect of university attendance on healthcare utilization amongst young adults in Sweden. We find that the eligibility rule leads to a clear jump in university attendance of between 10% and 14% points for both males and females. 2SLS estimates find that a 10% point increase in university attendance causes a roughly one percentage point increase in hospital admissions due to mental ill health for males, almost exclusively related to alcohol and narcotics. Our findings for females, however, imply the opposite, suggesting that university attendance decreases hospital admissions related to mental health. The results for males sit in contrast to results from previous studies, and suggest that the effect of university education on health for the male student at the margin of eligibility is different to that of the average student.

Assessing the effects of the modular approach in math learning on independent creativity of university students

Numerous teachers and researchers are studying the issue of improving the effectiveness of university education and offer innovative technologies to address this challenge. Modular learning is among the most relevant and productive teaching techniques. The paper examines how the modular approach in math learning contributes to the development of independent creativity of university students. The testing was performed at Tyumen Industrial University (Russia) among students of the Applied Geology program numbering 28 individuals in the control group and 27 individuals in the experimental group. The students were given a series of lectures to present new material that was later assimilated and reinforced during practical sessions through blocks and chains of preparatory and auxiliary tasks. To demonstrate their knowledge and grasping of the material, the students passed individual tests and exams. Statistical data were processed using Pearson’s chi-squared test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Based on the decision-making rule, the research confirms the hypothesis that the modular approach is more effective in forming students’ independent creativity in math learning if compared with conventional education. The research results demonstrate that 92% of students in the experimental group set about solving advanced math problems, while in the control group this share was 61%. The share of students in the experimental group who prepared research projects increased from 52% to 89%, while in the control group their number decreased from 56% to 43%. Among the avenues for further research is an attempt to implement applied research projects not only in math learning, but also in applied subjects of study throughout the entire training period. The development of independent creativity of university students is expected to have a positive effect on their ability to absorb the material of other courses.

Retracted: The role of social networking in the effectiveness of university education: exploratory survey

The great technical development witnessed in the information and communication technology sector over the last two decades, especially amid the widespread of the Internet, new facts came to light, as it made people communicate in a virtual world. This development resulted in what is known as the social networking, and these networks are considered one of the fastest growing sectors of e-learning in the last few years. The policies and plans of global education were shifted from focusing on the educational content to finding the best ways that enable students to learn. Thus, students can build new relationships and share their intellectual and cognitive interests with others, in addition to publishing on the multimedia. Accordingly, this study is based on a series of previous studies and scientific research related to the subject of the current study: the role of social networking in the effectiveness and support of education for the university students.

Responsible forms of project management education: Theoretical plurality and reflective pedagogies

The paper aims to revive an interest in the notion of responsible project management education (RPME) in the context of related contemporary debates about the integration of reflexivity, ethics and sustainability in the business schools' curricula; the purpose, values and effectiveness of university education; and practical relevance of business and management courses, to mention only a few. We offer an interpretation of what RPME at university level may mean concerning the practice of curriculum design and pedagogy of project management courses in light of a perceived nature of project management theory and the field as practised. We argue that responsible project management education should make the theorising of the process of projectification, relational complexity and practical wisdom (combining prudence, instrumental and value rationality) accessible and appealing to all involved and should pursue experiential reflective learning. To illustrate how it may work in practice, we reflect on our longstanding experience with designing and delivering a PM module for an MBA programme. Apart from the challenge with maintaining the requisite diversity of the teaching team and practitioners' input into the course, we illuminate some benefits and challenges as perceived by the participating students. These are: discomfort caused by encountering a different ‘project management’; excitement in embracing the unexpected; light-bulb moments in redefining one's own understanding of PM practice and in finding a new way of understanding and dealing with a specific situation in the workplace.

What is the effect of university education on chances to be self-employed in transitional countries?: Instrumental variable analysis of cross-sectional sample of 29 nations

We used a high-quality cross-sectional data set that covers a diverse set of 29 transitional countries, to find the effect of education of probability of people being self-employed using standard probit models and instrumental variable biprobit that address endogeneity. Our findings suggest a negative effect of university education on the propensity of being self-employed. This finding remains the same for the single-stage model (i.e. standard probit) and the instrumental variable model (i.e. biprobit). We found strong endogeneity in the estimation of education effect on the propensity of being self-employed, ignoring which renders estimations biased. Regression models, which do not address endogeneity tend to underestimate the negative effect of the education on the probability of being self-employed in the countries of transition. Researchers should use alternative approaches to reduce endogeneity, such as instrumental variables and longitudinal analysis.

Improved learning performance based on a flipped classroom concept – a case study

Aim of the research was to improve effectiveness of university education. With the use of new digital tools the learning processes in many different disciplines have been enhanced. However, the traditional class room training can hardly be replaced entirely as the students’ motivation drops with less direct interaction with the instructor. Hence small private online courses are more successful than massive online education. The authors have developed a sophisticated flipped classroom learning approach incorporating various digital tools ranging from different kinds of videos to a class response system combined with class room lectures. The case of the course introduction to management accounting at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin is been presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the flipped classroom concept. An empirical analysis confirms that the students’ acceptance is highest if various methods of teaching are been applied. In particular relying on digital tools only is seen as ineffective and of less value. Eventually, based on the analysis and classroom observations improvement opportunities have been derived in order to further increase the learning performance.

Forest Owners' Response to Climate Change: University Education Trumps Value Profile.

Do forest owners’ levels of education or value profiles explain their responses to climate change? The cultural cognition thesis (CCT) has cast serious doubt on the familiar and often criticized "knowledge deficit" model, which says that laypeople are less concerned about climate change because they lack scientific knowledge. Advocates of CCT maintain that citizens with the highest degrees of scientific literacy and numeracy are not the most concerned about climate change. Rather, this is the group in which cultural polarization is greatest, and thus individuals with more limited scientific literacy and numeracy are more concerned about climate change under certain circumstances than those with higher scientific literacy and numeracy. The CCT predicts that cultural and other values will trump the positive effects of education on some forest owners' attitudes to climate change. Here, using survey data collected in 2010 from 766 private forest owners in Sweden and Germany, we provide the first evidence that perceptions of climate change risk are uncorrelated with, or sometimes positively correlated with, education level and can be explained without reference to cultural or other values. We conclude that the recent claim that advanced scientific literacy and numeracy polarizes perceptions of climate change risk is unsupported by the forest owner data. In neither of the two countries was university education found to reduce the perception of risk from climate change. Indeed in most cases university education increased the perception of risk. Even more importantly, the effect of university education was not dependent on the individuals' value profile.

Multicultural Education: The Challenges and Attitudes of Undergraduate Students in Turkey

Multicultural education is a process that attaches importance to the differences between students and makes no attempt to deny their existence. This ensures that the process continues in an egalitarian manner. Multicultural education is an educational reform movement that exists within the context of a wider process of societal reform and supports the principle that no inequality of educational opportunity should exist on account of differences of race, ethnicity, identity or social class. The purpose of this study is to identify the views of undergraduate students concerning multicultural education. In this regard, the attitudes of undergraduate students at school of education were examined to see if there existed significant differences in their views taking the moderating variables of the students’ gender, ethnic identity, type of university (private or state) and type of department into account. In this study, a quantitative research method was used, employing the Mann Whitney U Test and Kruskal Wallis H Test analysis within the analysis process. A scale was developed to collect data for the study. The scale was divided into 3 different factors or categories. These were defined as the results of multicultural education, the effect of university education on multicultural education, and education and justice. The results of this study indicated that college students’ responses on multicultural education were largely positive.

Effects of Education and Clinical-Training on the Recognition of Communication Skills for Physical and Occupational Therapists

The purpose of this investigation is to examine the effects of university education and clinical-training experience on the recognition of communication skills for medical service workers (physical therapists, occupational therapists and nurses, etc.). The participants were 90 Japanese university students. 50 of them were freshmen and the remaining 40 were seniors majoring in physical therapy. They were asked to evaluate the necessity of 144 items of communication skills for medical service workers (necessity score) on a 7-point scale (1-7). They were also asked to evaluate the degree of adequateness and skillfulness of their performance of the skills (ability score) on a 7-point scale. The items were divided into 4 groups: the basic skill item group, the specific patient item group, the difficult situation item group and the general item group. The mean ability scores of all the 4 item groups in the senior group were significantly higher than those in the freshman group (p<0.01). Various factors which influence the recognition of communication skills and the improvement of research methods were discussed.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Education University in a Knowledge-Based Economy

This article analyzes one of the basic elements in building a society based on knowledge - education. But we do the analysis only to a part of it - education, because for the knowledge society is this compartment has a higher valence. Higher education is the driving force of society based on knowledge and has a big influence for Moldova in creation of a society in which the stock of knowledge must occupy an important place in the economy. This problem is strongly influenced by the migration process which, in this particular case, has a negative impact. In this research, we focus on the ability to assess the system of university education with basic statistical indicators. The system of indicators used will allow: the analysis of the human resources of the University Education system; financial resources as an investment in getting a quality education; participation and management education and the internal efficiency of the education system. Also we calculate performance indicators that will enable us to calculate the effectiveness of university education in the Republic of Moldova. DOI: 10.5901/jesr.2013.v3n7p53
