Faculty development program to enhance teaching quality in construction

This paper addresses the implementation of a faculty teaching development program to enhance the teaching skills of newly hired CME faculty in construction core subjects. The main objective of the study was to investigate to what extent CME faculty perceived various aspects and impacts of faculty development programs. This program was first conducted in the summer of 2022 in which 15 junior faculty participated in educational modules, presented by nationally recognized construction instructors. A quantitative survey was designed and distributed among the participants to gain their opinions and perceptions about the importance of faculty development and its potential effects on the enhancement of junior faculty teaching and mentorship skills. The results indicated a gap in the current CME academic practices as 27% of participants reported that their schools did not provide any mentorship program. This need was noticeable in the transition of newly hired faculty from their graduate programs to instructional academic careers. Also, the findings emphasized a significant potential (over 60% high or very high in all impact areas) for faculty development programs in CME. The findings of this study help CME scholars and administrators assiduously design and develop educational components to prepare their graduate students for academic positions.

Урбанистический дискурс управления устойчивым развитием горных районов Китая

Introduction. Sustainable development of mountainous areas is one of the priorities of modern China; it meets the basic focus of state policy on the harmonization of all spheres of life of the population. At the same time, mountainous areas occupy a special place in these processes, since they have special characteristics that complicate the introduction of economic, political and cultural innovations. These characteristics include, first of all, the geographical location, which determines the low level of infrastructure, inaccessibility of logistics routes and, as a consequence, the need to invest significant effort and resources to improve sustainable development indicators. China has diverse mountain regions such as the Himalayas, Tianshan, Kunlun and others. Each of these regions has its own unique geographical features, climate, vegetation and wildlife. When developing sustainable development programs, it is necessary to take into account these differences and adapt approaches to specific mountain regions. Materials and methods. Discursive regional practices in the dichotomy of urban/non-urban content are considered in the article in line with the concept of social organization of tradition. Within the framework of this concept, the so-called “small traditions” that arise in relatively closed rural regions are influenced by the “big tradition” generated by the city as a place of concentration of an educated population focused on the formation of progressive social practices. The indicated theoretical and methodological approaches form the basis of the analysis carried out within the framework of this study. Results. All areas of management in China, including the management of sustainable development of territories, are under the jurisdiction of party-state structures, both central and local. These structures pay special attention to the managerial discursive practices of the regions, among which mountainous regions with their special geographical location, which gives rise to cultural and social isolation, have a pronounced specificity. Among the main strategies is the promotion in local societies of political culture and other types of urban cultures that contribute to the sustainable development of mountain regions: economic, legal, administrative culture, etc. Discussion. Analysis of the strategies for the formation of urban discourse in the management of mountainous areas made it possible to identify three basic strategies of urban discourse in China: physical, information and communication, and socio-moral. All three of these strategies are fundamental to the formation of the urban discourse of the “great tradition” in the mountainous regions of China. Based on the analysis, we can conclude that the process of formation of an urban discourse on managing the sustainable development of mountainous areas in China demonstrates several important trends. State and regional authorities in China actively cooperate and coordinate their actions in the development and implementation of programs for the sustainable development of mountain areas. They exchange information, experiences and best practices to jointly develop effective strategies and action plans. This contributes to the sustainable development of mountain regions, improving the quality of life of the local population and preserving the natural environment. Conclusions. The authors conclude that Chinese government agencies are building a system in which the urban discourse of the “big state tradition” will integrate the rural discourse of the “small tradition” of the mountainous regions. Resume. The work compares the concepts of territorial management using the “large state tradition” and the “small tradition” of mountainous areas. A comparative analysis of these traditions and the possibility of their interaction is shown. It has been determined that the basic strategy for the development of the mountainous regions of China is the formation of elements of urban culture in local communities, including various aspects. Suggestions for practical applications and future research directions. The research results can be useful in developing programs for the development of mountainous areas in various countries. The data presented in the article allows us to form a trend for sustainable development, including tourism, culture and social development.

Role of field level extension officers in development interventions: Evidence from Sabaragamuwa Province in Sri Lanka

The government of Sri Lanka implemented a range of developmental interventions to eliminate poverty by enhancing agricultural productivity, income diversification and economic growth in rural areas. The "Divineguma" (Livelihood upliftment) program was one such massive-scale livelihood improvement program that had multiple interventions at different levels. The intermediaries who link the government and the beneficiaries are the field-level extension officers (EOs). The beneficiaries have severely criticized the field-level extension service, especially the assistance on agricultural interventions. This study was done to examine the roles of the field-level EOs and beneficiaries’ perceptions regarding the knowledge, skills, and personal qualities of the EOs in the implementation of this rural development program, with special relevance to home gardens. A survey study was carried out in the Elapata Divisional Secretary division in Ratnapura district with a sample size of 150 beneficiaries. Beneficiaries perceived that the EO’s were influential in the startup motives of the participants but in follow-up roles, which are the most important roles for the success of the home garden program, were not fulfilled by these EOs. The participants also perceived that the field-level EOs were not well prepared when communicating with the participants and always neglected the importance of feedback in the communication process and they were not fully committed to the activities related to the home garden program. This study reveals that policymakers should constantly review the performance of the EOs and assess their training requirements.

Assessing presidential vulnerability in a partisan landscape: A mediation analysis of leadership among local universities and colleges in the Philippines

This study examined the vulnerability of leadership among the Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs) that are heavily influenced by political factors during the period of local elections. This study used a Generalized Linear Model (GLM) mediation analysis to investigate the intricate interplay of leadership characteristics, political beliefs, and the vulnerability of the LUCs presidency. The study revealed that there is no significant influence of leadership characteristics and political beliefs on perceived vulnerability (Indirect Effect: β = 0.00503, p = 0.846; Leadership Characteristics ⇒ Political Beliefs: β = -0.18697, p = 0.257; Political Beliefs ⇒ Presidential Vulnerability: β = -0.02689, p = 0.788; Direct Effect: β = -0.13358, p = 0.367; Total Effect: β = -0.12855, p = 0.367).The findings indicate that leadership at LUCs exhibited vulnerability, especially after the loss of an incumbent local official, irrespective of their leadership characteristics or political views. The findings challenges prevailing assumptions and underscore the need of using broader criteria for assessing leadership risk. This research has significant implications for policy formulation and decision-making within the realms of higher education. The implementation of collaborative leadership development programs, promotion of ethical leadership, maintenance of non-partisanship, active involvement of stakeholders, establishment of succession planning, and utilization of effective conflict resolution processes are suggested. It is viewed that a comprehensive exploration of the legal framework governing the relationships between LUCs and local government entities is imperative for a deeper contextual understanding.
