A Comparison of Labor Competence of College Students in Different Educational Tracks: A Study Based on a Survey in Guangxi University of Foreign Languages

This article is a case study of students' labor competence in two different educational tracks from the Guangxi University of Foreign Languages. According to research findings, there was no significant difference in the overall level of labor competence between ordinary undergraduates and vocational students, and there were disparities in labor competence in specific dimensions, including labor consciousness, labor knowledge, labor qualities, and labor creativity, between the two groups. Ordinary undergraduates significantly outperformed vocational college students in the dimension of labor consciousness, whereas the latter scored higher in the dimension of labor knowledge. Both groups scored poorly in terms of labor creativity. Also discussed is the importance of cultivating innovation ability, building labor knowledge, shaping labor values, and improving off-campus labor education participation among college students.

Human Talent Management in the Development of Work Skills in the Framework of The SDG in a Hospital in Peru

Objective: To determine the influence of human talent management on the development of labor competencies of the administrative staff of a hospital in Peru. This is associated with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) “Decent work and economic growth”. Theoretical framework: Globalization and digitalization generate constant changes that force institutions to orient human talent management towards the development and specialization of workers' skills, through training and feedback. Method: The basic study had a quantitative approach and a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 86 employees, the technique used was the survey and a questionnaire was used for each variable. The ordinal logistic regression test was used for the inferential analysis, considering a significance level < 0.05. Results and Discussion: The results of the model fit test showed a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05. Likewise, the Nagelkerke coefficient yielded a value of 0.239, determining that there is a 23.9% influence of human talent management on the development of labor competencies. Implications of the research: Adequate human talent management will allow the development of the competencies of the hospital's administrative employees. Originality/value: Human talent management in the development of labor skills in Peruvian hospitals has been little explored, which makes this study an original contribution, given that most research has focused on other contexts.

Interaction between Research and Innovation in the Ecology of Knowledge in University Organizations: A Correlational Descriptive Study at the National University of Chimborazo, Ecuador

Introduction: research and innovation in academic organizations are essential for sustainable development. However, its integration with the ecology of knowledge and the impact on the labor competencies of university professors still represent a challenge, especially in the Ecuadorian context. Objective: to describe the interaction between research and innovation linked to the ecology of knowledge in the academic organizations of the National University of Chimborazo during the period 2024-A. Methods: quantitative, descriptive-correlational study. Participatory non-probabilistic sample of 132 teachers from the Faculty of Education. A 15-item questionnaire on knowledge ecology, research-innovation and labor skills was applied. Results: a strong positive correlation was found between knowledge ecology and labor competencies (r = 0,723; p < 0,01), while the relationship between research-innovation and labor competencies was weak (r = 0,025; p = 0,772). The ecology of knowledge explained 52,3 % of the variability in labor competencies. Conclusions: the ecology of knowledge emerges as a key factor for the development of teaching work competencies at UNACH. Policies and strategies that promote a collaborative and knowledge-sharing environment are required to improve the integration of research, innovation and teaching practice

El proceso de certificación de intérpretes en lengua de señas mexicana. Estándar de competencia EC1319

The certification of labor competencies in Mexico promotes the evidence of performance by those who perform specific functions, showing the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities, regardless of the way in which they have perfected them. In this regard, a qualitative data analysis research was developed to recognize and establish relationships, interpret, extract meanings and conclusions about the competency standard EC1319, “Conference Interpretation of Mexican Sign Language <> Spanish”. Categories are built describing the patents to be demonstrated by the candidate, in which through defined exercises they recognize their knowledge, attitudes, abilities and skills of those who master Mexican Sign Language, who in correspondence with the correct use of oral and written Spanish, possess the conditions to confirm the purposes of each validation element. A correlational description of the indicators to be considered was obtained, which explains and allows the interested party to know the necessary faculties for the achievement of the process. It is suggested that this type of assessments open the opportunity to improve the living conditions of deaf people, as well as the labor conditions of the interpreters/translators guild.

A new model of the formation of social and labor activity of students: model evaluations

Relevance. In modern society, where knowledge and intellectual development are key strategic resources for economic growth, the status of education has greatly increased. Forming key competencies in students, including social and labor functions, is a top priority for the global education system. Purpose. The problem of forming the key competencies of the future teacher in general and socio-labor in particular is a relatively new scientific problem. Therefore, the purpose of our research is to develop a model for the formation of social and labor functions of the future teacher and evaluate its effectiveness. Methodology. To solve the tasks and verify the initial assumptions, we used a set of complementary research methods: theoretical analysis of philosophical, psychological, and pedagogical literature; sociological methods (questionnaires, conversations); study and generalization of pedagogical experience; observation; experimental methods (stating and forming experimental variants); mathematical and statistical methods. Results. As a result, the study specified the scientific understanding of the content of the concept �socio-labor function and competence� and identified the functions of their components and the principles of implementation of the model of formation of social and labor competencies of the future teacher; grounded indicators of socio-labor competencies identified and experimentally tested pedagogical conditions providing the formation of social-labor competencies of the future teacher. Conclusions. The implementation of the model of the formation of social and labor activity in line with modernization strategies creates a supportive, competence-oriented educational environment that integrates general and supplementary education. A strong correlation exists between social and labor relations and social skills, as well as between the motivational, cognitive, and activity components of the competencies developed through experimental training. The practical significance of the research lies in its focus on improving the activities of universities in the formation of social and labor competencies of future teachers. Keywords: social and labor function; competence; professional training; model of formation; future teacher

Evaluating and analyzing student labor literacy in China's higher vocational education: an assessment model approach

IntroductionThis study addresses the gap in evaluating labor literacy amongst vocational students in China's higher vocational education system. It aims to develop a comprehensive framework for assessing essential labor competencies, thereby contributing to a nuanced understanding of vocational education's role in skill development.MethodsEmploying a multifaceted research methodology, this study integrates questionnaire surveys, econometric analyses, and the Delphi method to assess labor literacy among 749 students from three leading vocational institutions. A pioneering labor literacy assessment model is introduced: S = 0.5466B1+0.1816B2+0.1623B3+0.1095B4, where S denotes the overall labor literacy score. Here, B1 represents labor concepts, B2 denotes habits and qualities, B3 signifies knowledge and skills, and B4 encapsulates emotions and attitudes, illustrating a comprehensive approach to measuring labor literacy.ResultsOur findings reveal pronounced disparities in labor literacy across the identified dimensions, with particular deficiencies in labor concepts. The study also identifies six determinants—gender, political profile, academic performance, internship and training base utilization, inclination towards innovation and entrepreneurship, and labor education evaluation mechanisms—that significantly influence labor literacy outcomes.DiscussionHighlighting the imperative for a contextually informed and holistic approach to labor literacy, this study's insights advocate for educational strategies that are both aligned with labor market demands and cognizant of socio-cultural nuances. The developed assessment model not only propels the theoretical discourse in vocational education forward but also provides a pragmatic guide for educators and policy makers, aiming to mitigate disparities and enhance labor competencies through refined educational practices.

Structure of the BOPPPS model of integrating labor competency development into higher civic education

Abstract As the main form of improving students’ labor ability level and labor consciousness, labor education is conducive to promoting students’ physical and mental health development, and its content has a high overlap with ideological education. Under this premise, this paper proposes a BOPPPS teaching model that integrates labor ability cultivation and ideological education and constructs an evaluation model of ideological teaching to provide a basis for the validation and analysis of the examples of the BOPPPS teaching model. In the construction of the Civic and Political teaching evaluation model, based on the relevant principles of cluster analysis, an improved NP algorithm is proposed on the basis of K-means clustering algorithm and hierarchical cohesion algorithm, the data matrix is constructed, and the clustering features are introduced to portray the clustering characteristics. The evaluation model of Civics teaching is built based on cluster analysis and combined with hierarchical analysis. The example experiment of the BOPPPS teaching model was launched in University L. The difference between the clusters of Civics teaching evaluation obtained from the experiment and the proportion of the score section of the subject students’ grades is less than 1%, which is basically the same, which verifies the performance of the Civics teaching evaluation model. The mean value of each dimension of labor quality evaluation of the subject students is greater than 4, and the performance of labor quality is excellent.

Bringing Project-Based Learning into Renewable and Sustainable Energy Education: A Case Study on the Development of the Electric Vehicle EOLO

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in education for sustainable development (ESD). Although several national and international agencies, e.g., the UN or UNESCO, have promoted its deployment in higher education institutions, educators are still facing problems with how to articulate this type of education within the curriculum, allowing students to develop their technical and labor competencies, and soft skills as well. In this way, this study describes a methodology with Project-Based Learning in renewable and sustainable energies through the development of an electrical vehicle (EV) known as EOLO. This initiative arose from an industry-academia collaboration to develop the first Colombian EV with the support of solar and wind energy sources. Twelve engineering students participated in the development of the vehicle through a set of capstone projects over a year and a half with the support of two tutors (professors) and two engineers (technical staff) of the project. Additionally, two versions of EOLO with vertical and horizontal axis wind turbines were made with the cooperation of the students. The results evidence that the methodology helped to engage students, promoted meaningfully and situated learning through real-world problems in renewable energies, and fostered motivation and peer collaboration. Nonetheless, aspects such as the improvement of the communications channels, the revision of the complexity of the projects, the sense of community to achieve a common goal, or the tutoring and monitoring processes should be strengthened for further initiatives and/or active learning methodologies. In this sense, some challenges and recommendations that can help to develop methodologies that combine ESD and engineering are provided based on the experience in this study.

Validity Of Scale Organizational Violence In The Covid-19 Era

In the context of organizations and their relationship with the increasingly competitive environment, leaders have been pressured to establish control systems in which the differences between employees are exacerbated since, in the absence of labor competencies, these are They are intended to substitute for acts of loyalty to the company that lead to violence towards those who are the culprits of poor performance or are not seen as part of a working group. This is how organizational violence is justified within collaborative teams, as would be the case of Higher Education Institutions where the phenomenon is exacerbated with the emergence of electronic technologies, devices, and networks. The objective of this study was to establish the reliability and validity of an instrument that measures organizational violence. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, and confirmatory study was carried out with a selection of 100 students from a public university in central Mexico. The results show that organizational violence would be made up of eight factors: prejudice, depersonalization, benevolence, harassment, subjugation, objectification, stigma, and harassment, which show the limits of the study and guidelines of research concerning equity.

KEBERHASILAN REKLAMASI LAHAN BEKAS TAMBANG BATUBARA STUDI KASUS IZIN USAHA PERTAMBANGAN DI KABUPATEN TANAH BUMBU PROVINSI KALIMANTAN SELATAN

The assessment of the success rate of reclamation uses a reference assessment of PERMENHUT 60 of 2009 with scoring of three criteria, namely: Land arrangement with a score of 30%, control of erosion and sedimentation with a score of 20%, and revegetation with a score of 50%. The reclamation success rate assessment result based on the total score is both >80, medium 60-80, and ugly <60. The implementation of reclamation of mining business permits based on the calculation of the total value obtained a value of 48.5 which shows that the reclamation results are included in the ugly criteria (reclamation results are unacceptable and intensive maintenance is needed), so it is necessary to carry out reclamation repairs. The reclamation criteria that received a less assessment was the implementation of revegetation which had the lowest value, namely, 14 out of 50 weights and erosion and sedimentation control had a value of 12 out of 20, while land management had a value of 22.5 out of a weight of 30. Activities that can be carried out to improve reclamation on former mining business permit land are land management, reducing landslides, erosion, and sedimentation, improving the quality of physical and chemical soil properties with regular fertilization and liming, spraying pesticides, cleaning cover crop windings on plants periodically carried out, reselecting cover crops, selecting sengon plants as pioneer plants, selection of jackfruit plants as local insert crops, then the commitment of policymakers in the implementation of reclamation, fulfillment of labor competencies, remaking of erosion and sedimentation control facilities, and providing facilities and infrastructure for breeding diverse plants.

Motivational Impact and Promotion of Research Culture Through the Development of Deep Learning Models

The professional training model in Colombia is moving from a competency-based approach to learning outcomes. This path is enriched with contributions both at the level of national policies and each institution, as well as the teaching experiences and interests of the students. In this environment, this research presents the impact on the motivational level, and on the development of research skills, in undergraduate students of the electrical area generated by implementing a training scheme that involves developing research formulated and guided by the students themselves. The students come from a model based on labor competencies, and the current curricular reform proposes a new model based on learning outcomes that demands a closer follow-up of the training process of each individual. The experimental group consisted of students in a new academic space in artificial intelligence (AI), for which specific instructional material was designed so that students could build deep learning classification models for real problems while implementing a scientific development scheme that includes the generation of scientific publications. The control group maintained a traditional training scheme based on content tracking and periodic written evaluations. The results showed that although both groups achieved a high level of learning effectiveness, the experimental group demonstrated more remarkable development in their creative thinking and more significant appropriation of the academic space and the training process, with a solid self-critical position. The research concluded that the follow-up model, as well as the material developed, manages to increase the student’s commitment to their training process and to generate positions on how this process is developed.

Neoliberalismo e crise da educação ocidental. Causas, consequências e oportunidades para a mudança

Abstract The crisis of neoliberalism is the crisis of the West, unable to redirect its course and threatened by internal and external contradictions. The emergence of the postmodernism has generated a new uncritical ethos that relativises Western rights and freedoms. The invasion of capitalist mercantile logic into the school, under the neoliberal paradigm, has displaced any political training from the school, contributing to contemporary cultural relativity. In the present work we will review the course of neoliberalism from its origins to the present day, and we will analyse its impact on the Western school. This journey is carried out from a critical approach. Two main consequences are detected: the substitution of knowledge by labour competences, and the promotion of a homogeneity that benefits competitiveness, but deteriorates democratic culture. We conclude with the requirement for schools to abandon relative narratives and embrace democratic values in order to improve the coexistence and the political participation.

A model of the professional field as the basis for an adaptive educational process

Objectives. The main purpose of the work is to study the advantages of an activity-based approach, or functional approach in comparison with a subject-based approach, or lecture-based approach for creating a model of a professional field for adaptive educational process. The relevance of the problem being solved is caused by due to the fact, that adaptive educational technologies, thanks to the extensive computerization and informatization of all spheres of human activity, as well as the innovative development of artificial intelligence, have become dominant in teaching systems at all levels, from preschool to higher education institutions. Without a highly effective model of the professional field, it is impossible to successfully implement adaptive learning.Methods. To achieve the goals and to prove the statements formulated, the method of comparative analysis of the most widely used ways for creating models of the professional field for adaptive learning in modern systems, was used. To do this, we studied: the effectiveness of using the traditional approach, which is based on subjectspecific or lecture-seminar signs of structuring educational material; as well as the effectiveness of using an activity-based approach based on the concept of "Modules of labor competencies" for the formation of educational material.Results. The analysis of the quality of educational material (a model of a professional field for an adaptive educational process) obtained using the traditional approach, and educational material (the same model for its intended purpose) obtained on the basis of an activity approach in accordance with the concept of "Modules of labor competencies". The results of the analysis are compared and theoretical statements are summarized, taking into account the examples of developed modular materials, as well as the pilot implementation of previously developed modular programs.Conclusion. The information given in the article can be useful for specialists, researchers and heads of educational institutions of various levels, when planning and creating adaptive learning systems. The conclusions and recommendations fully comply with the requirements of the development of the education system of the Republic of Belarus.

PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP DALAM PROGRAM PENINGKATAN KOMPETENSI TENAGA KERJA DAN PRODUKTIVITAS (PKTKP) BERBASIS PEMAGANGAN DALAM NEGERI DI PROVINSI LAMPUNG

The domestic apprenticeship program in Lampung Province still encounters problems, such as the socialization process that is carried out less than optimally so that only a few companies are interested in collaborating. As a result, the company's recruitment implementation has not been able to achieve the specified target. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the domestic apprenticeship program and identify the factors supporting and inhibiting the implementation of the domestic apprenticeship program in Lampung Province. The study was conducted with a qualitative descriptive approach using 3 indicators of the implementation of public private partnership (Public Private Partnership) consisting of policies, resources and communication (Kurniawan, Setianto et al., 2009). The results of this study indicate that the cooperation between the government and the private sector (public private partnership) in the program to increase labor competence and productivity (PKTKP) based on domestic apprenticeship in Lampung Province is quite effective. Viewed from the policy aspect, it can be said that it is effective because the purpose of holding this program is in accordance with the objectives of the government-private partnership which is beneficial in addition to providing services to the public but also providing benefits from companies that collaborate with the Lampung Province Manpower Office. In the aspect of resources, human resources in the implementation of this domestic apprenticeship program have not been maximized in achieving the desired target/results so that the resource aspect in this focus can be said to be less effective. In the communication that took place quite well, this was seen from the lobbying process to achieve the target of absorption of participants, although communication in the socialization process for recruiting companies had not yet reached the target.
