Management Skills of Educational Managers and the Advancement of Technological Pedagogical Knowledge of Teachers in Private Junior High Schools in Davao City

Technology plays a great role in innovating and renovating contemporary teaching practices. Hence, this study aimed at determining the influence of the education manager’s management skills on the advancement in technological, pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) of teachers in private junior high schools in Davao City. This study utilized a quantitative prediction research design using a survey method. The 205 teacher-respondents chosen using universal sampling answered a two-part validated online survey questionnaire which asks about the educational manager’s management skills and the teacher’s TPACK. Data were described, analyzed and interpreted using mean, standard deviation, Pearson r, and linear regression. The findings showed a very high level of management skills among educational managers and a very high level of TPACK among teachers. Standard Multiple Linear Regression Analysis using the Stepwise Method and the equation model showed that the educational managers’ management skills such as managing acculturation, managing the future, managing teaching principles, and managing teaching methods significantly predict the TPACK of private Junior High School teachers and these five management skills have relatively contributed to the variation of TPACK. Thus, there is a need to strengthen education manager’s formation programs focusing on the areas of energizing employees and teacher’s training in technology knowledge.

Understanding Core Native Human Effective Components in Crisis Management Is a Step Forward Towards Increasing Resiliency and Decreasing Stress Especially in Sudden Crises as a Sustainable Development Framework

Background: In different crises without any exception, especially sudden emergencies, the role of human effective components (HECs), native human effective components (NHECs) (belonging to a specific space and location), and especially core native human effective components (CNHECs); and among CNHECs, level of management skills, ignorance, and manager’s mind bandwidth are of vital importance in crisis management. These three specified CNHECs can affect crisis management and managers as well as the level of latency in planning, strategy, and management, and as such through a complexity of reactions (i.e. A. affective, B. behavioral, and C. cognitive reactions) to increase resiliency and decrease distress in metropolitan urban areas. The time limitation is also an important issue to be considered. Materials and Methods: The type of review method has been integrative review. For a better review process, 200 articles during an approximately 50-year time (1972-2021) period during 3 years of the review process were studied and for the selection method, the well-known scientific databases and universities, the search terms, and inclusion/exclusion criteria were selected, analyzed, and summarized through a review protocol. Results: We aim to shed light on HECs preparation of NHECs and CNHECs in disaster management which will generate a good understanding to increase the resiliency and decrease the distress in crisis managers in times of sudden emergencies in metropoles as a sustainable development framework for the future. Conclusion: By creating the proposed taxonomy and classification of CNHECs in crisis management (managers), at first a better understanding will be obtained which in times of sudden crisis can increase resiliency and decrease distress generating a sustainable development framework.

ВИЯВЛЕННЯ СТИЛЬОВИХ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИК ПРОЯВУ УПРАВЛІНСЬКИХ НАВИЧОК, НЕОБХІДНИХ ОФІЦЕРАМ У БОЙОВІЙ ОБСТАНОВЦІ

The article presents the results of an empirical study of stylistic characteristics of the manifestation of management skills by officers in a combat environment. During the research, a number of personal characteristics were identified, which are most associated with a high level of management skills, which can be a prognostic indicator of the success of professional training and functioning of an officer in a combat environment. Distinguished stylistic features of the manifestation of management skills in a combat environment made it possible to identify officers of two types: universalplastic and rigid-fragmentary. They are distinguished by the adequacy of actions carried out by them in a combat environment, the completeness and quality of mastering the main groups of management skills (strength, functional plasticity, generalization), the nature of their actualization, the number and nature of errors and difficulties that are detected or experienced at various stages of activity, and as well as the connection of managerial skills with the effectiveness of activities. Based on the analysis of combat activity, it was established that the effectiveness of the implementation of management skills of officers in a combat environment is determined by a specific combination of a number of objective and subjective factors, the most important of which include: the content of the combat task; the nature of the enemy's influence; the officer's image of the combat situation, which he perceives as stimulating/neutral for starting/blocking a certain intellectual-behavioural pattern of combat behaviour; psychological readiness to act decisively in a non-standard environment; the repertoire of patterns and techniques for solving combat tasks mastered by the officer.

Reshaping the Preservice Preschool Teachers’ Curriculum to Give the Emphasis to the Managerial Domain

<p style="text-align: justify;">The purpose of the study was to determine whether emphasising the managerial domain of the preservice preschool teachers’ curriculum is capable to improve their management and leadership skills. This study used the mixed-method methodology that combined the exploratory design and the experimental design. It included three basic phases such as feasibility assessment of making changes to the curriculum, intervention, and controlled observation, followed by the analytical phase. It was proved that the university curriculum upgraded the training approach by using the guided interim directorship. This change addressed the Professional Standard requirements for the preschool heads as well as job requirements. The intervention produced a positive shift in students’ skills of micromanagement, long-term planning, communicating vision, emotional control, and mentoring. There was a shift from the basic level of management skills before the intervention to the intermediate level of the skills after the intervention. The number of students with a superior level of skills increased by 11.54% as well. The students’ comments concerning the integration of the managerial component into the curriculum were complimentary. The observers’ reports suggested that they appreciated the students' work which was the outcome of the updated curriculum.</p>

Views Regarding Management Skills Required Currently and in the Future for Middle Managers in Perinatal Medicine: Their Differences Depending Working Position in Advanced Midwives

Similar to any other discipline/field, management skills are important in perinatal nursing/medicine. What kinds of management skills are required/important currently and also in the future? The view for this might be different according to the present position of midwives. We here attempted to determine this; we divided study population into three (head nurses, assistant head nurses and advanced midwives). A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted for 1652 advanced midwives in hospitals in Japan during 2018 and 2019. Scores in 8 items showed significant differences among the three groups. The skill with the largest difference among the three groups was the ability to participate in and provide support for social activity. Although higher levels of management skills will be required for nursing managers in the next generation, the levels differ depending on current working positions in advanced midwives.

The Italian Puzzle of the European Youth Guarantee

Focusing on the European Youth Guarantee (YG), this chapter explores why the funds for a specific EU co-financing 2014‒20 programme actually got to be spent in Italy—completely and on time. Thanks to a methodology that combines a set of indicators—spending input and output, regional divide proxies, the positive exit of young beneficiaries, outcomes, target achievement, the penetration rate of actions, and the logical framework approach to detecting problems and finding solutions—the chapter analyses why the same initiative may, in certain areas of the country, provide counterexamples to the overall mapping of the spending of EU funds, due to regional economic and social gaps and unclear multilevel governance, targets and sets of indicators. By conducting a multidimensional exercise, the chapter shows that an evaluation focused on national data input and output does not reveal the real impact of the YG on the country. It argues that national monitoring does not necessarily reveal the limits and causes of the efficiency and effectiveness of such an initiative. Lack of spending, late spending, low target achievement and misdirection of resources are examined in order to shed light on the effectiveness of YG measures in facilitating young individuals’ transition into the labour market. While a macro-regional and regional analysis of input, output and outcome data will show how the Youth Guarantee success is mainly linked to the development of local youth labour markets, the logical framework problem tree will help identify the primary causes of the limited impact of the national YG scheme and identify efforts to be made to remove these causes. Such a removal would in the future increase the impact of the YG if accompanied by a higher level of management skills among the Public Employment Services personnel involved and the full digitalisation of the public bodies involved in the process.

Advanced midwives are expected to be candidates for middle managers in the next generation. Higher levels of management skills than the current levels may be required for middle managers in the future due to the progress of perinatal medicine. The aim of this study was to compare levels of management skills that are currently required for middle managers and levels of management skills that will be important in the next 10-20 years in advanced midwives. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted for 1652 advanced midwives in hospitals that have more than 300 beds in Japan. The scores for all management skills that will be required in the next generation were significantly higher than those for currently required management skills. Currently required management skills that were given high scores, including communication ability, ability to perform safety management and problem-solving ability, were also given high scores for middle managers in the next generation. Advanced midwives believed that management skills including the ability to participate in social activity, ability to use information and communication technology, and ability to participate in management in which these scores are low at present are needed for middle managers in the next generation. Advanced midwives consider that management skills for middle managers will change in the future. By acquisition of high levels of management skills, middle managers will be able to perform management of perinatal medicine and nursing. Key words: Advanced midwives, nursing middle managers, next generation, management skills.

 Study design: Descriptive - correlation
 Place and Duration of Study: Department of Education, Division of Digos City, Davao del Sur during the Second Semester 2020-2021.
 Methodology: The study involved 133 English teachers from seven public secondary schools. These teachers were involved in SLAC implementation. Complete enumeration was used in selecting the teachers.
 Results: Most of the respondents’ average age was 37, mostly female, and serving the Department of Education for 11 years and above. In the SLAC, respondents had been serving as members for two to three years. The level of management skills of those serving the SLAC and SLACs in terms of Topic and Implementation Process were described as very much ready. With regards to the relationship of respondents’ demographic profile and the level of SLAC Implementation, the age and years rendered in SLAC had influenced to its implementation. Moreover, there was a very strong relationship between the level of management skills and SLAC implementation. Although the result did not show the entire situation in the country, the conduct of SLAC sessions could be sustained as well as its monitoring and evaluation to keep everyone updated in the new teaching pedagogy that might help address the challenges in the teaching-learning process.
 Conclusion: Teachers who are in their late thirties and above and have experienced in handling SLAC may be given bigger responsiblities for SLAC implementation. Moreover, level of management of skills may be enhanced to improve the implementation of SLAC.

Impacts of social and emotional learning (SEL) on English learning achievements in Hong Kong secondary schools

With growing attention attached to young students’ social and emotional well-being besides their cognitive development, social and emotional learning (SEL) has been increasingly researched in general school education over the past decades with its positive effects on academic performance reported. However, SEL research has not emerged in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning contexts. To bridge the void, the current research aimed to profile Hong Kong secondary school students’ SEL competence level and examine the intricate relationships among the four SEL competence clusters (i.e. self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and social management) and English learning achievements. The results indicated an overall medium level of SEL competence among 315 secondary school grade level 3 students and suggested a gap between the students’ high level of awareness skills and their medium level of management skills. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses confirmed two mediation paths, thus highlighting the seminal mediating role of self-management skills in enhancing the effects of self-awareness and social awareness skills on English learning achievements. Important implications are discussed.

Management skills required for nursing middle managers in the next generation in perinatal medical care

Learning of management skills is necessary for the training of nursing middle managers in the next generation. However, in perinatal medical care, there have been few studies on management skills for midwives as middle managers. The aim of this study was to determine whether advanced midwives have an awareness of probable future changes in perinatal nursing and what management skills they consider will be required for nursing middle managers in the next generation. This study was a qualitative descriptive design conducted for 761 advanced midwives who work in hospitals having 300 beds or more and having an independent department of nursing during the period from November 2018 to May 2019 in Japan. Self-reported questionnaires were sent after receiving acceptance from directors of nursing and questionnaire forms from 501 midwives in 91 hospitals were analyzed. The proportion of midwives who responded that perinatal care and nursing will change in the next 10 to 20 years was 86.8%, and the items of the top three were increase in the number of pregnant women with a high risk, development of reproductive medicine and development of prenatal diagnosis. According to the responses to the questionnaires, management skills that are required for nursing middle managers in the next generation include the ability to deal with different values of midwives, the ability to train midwives with high ethical values and the ability to cooperate with the community. Midwives recognize the need for systematic training for nursing middle managers in the next generation having a high level of management skill.

Development of a conceptual model for interpretation of monitoring indicators of cancer screenings from the Italian National Prevention Plan

the Italian National Prevention Plan (PNP) posed the standard to be achieved by Italian Regions for the implementation of cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening: to invite all of the target populations and to increase the screening uptake up to 50%, 60%, and 50%, respectively, the standard defined by the Essential Levels of Care (LEA). Moreover, for cervical cancer screening, it requires the implementation of HPV-DNA test and, for breast cancer screening, the PNP demands for the definition of diagnostic and follow up pathways for high familial risk women. The PNP also set up a monitoring system to assess the impact of implemented policies. A conceptual model has been defined to facilitate interpretation of variation in outcome indicators. after a systematic review, the DPSEEA (Driving forces, Pressure, State, Exposure, Effect, Actions) was identified as the more appropriate framework to assess the results of preventive policies. Factors for each component of the model were identified and indicators that allow measuring the changing of each of these factors were defined. among the "driving forces", the trust in the health care system and the social capital were included. The presence of opportunistic screening, the competing private clinical activity, the commitment of General Practitioners and "medical" leaders, the attitude to cooperation and to patients' involvement, and the level of agreement between the positions of scientific societies and the recommendations implemented in organized screening programmes were included in the "pressures". In "state", the availability of technological and human resources, the level of management skills and of accessibility were identified. The "exposure" was defined as the coverage of active invitation of the target population and the uptake of screening tests. The "exposure" factors influence the "effect", described as the impact on anticipation of cancer diagnosis, on disease incidence (for cervical and colorectal cancer) and prognosis. The changing in screening programs performance modifies the impact of invitation coverage and test uptake ("exposure"). through the DPSEEA framework, we set up a logical conceptual model, which includes implementable actions and the mechanisms through which these actions should impact on the "exposure" (invitation coverage and screening uptake) and on the screening performance (quality).

Innovation Activity Development of Urban Public Transport Service Providers: Multifactor Economic and Mathematical Model

Systematization literary sources and approaches for solving the problem of ecologists of «smart» city indicates that among factors that probably can affect the innovativeness of Ukrainian providers of urban public transport services have been used environmental factor, marketing expenses, financial potential, wear rate, level of quality of service, level of management skills, market share, tariff for passenger transportation. The purpose of the study is to identify the ways to improve the innovativeness of urban public transport service providers of the regional centres of Ukraine. The main aim of the research is to estimate the impact of several factor variables on the resulting attribute used multivariate regression analysis, which provided an adequate model. A significant contribution to the development of the theory and methodology of management of urban public transport enterprises were made by Nunes, Krasnyanskiy, Umpleby, Walters, Huang, Morchadze. The results of the evaluation of the innovativeness of Ukrainian providers of urban public transport services carried out based on the mathematical multifactor model are presented in the article. In January-March 2018, the authors initiated a study on the current state of urban public transport in regional Ukrainian cities. Methodological tools of the research were multivariate correlation-regression analysis and survey (the requests for public information were submitted by the Law of Ukraine «On Access to Public Information» to all city councils of Ukraine's regions except temporarily occupied territories). The study included a survey of 20 experts (marketers and experienced managers of transport companies) to determine weighting factors and the level of innovativeness through questionnaires. The expert evaluation was carried out using the marks method. The research has shown that the size of the innovativeness of providers of public transport services can be successfully interpreted through functional and statistical dependencies, which reflect the general and individual laws of the development of such entities using multi-factor mathematical models. The econometric model was tested for the adequacy with the Fisher criterion and the presence of autocorrelation. The research empirically confirms and theoretically proves thatsuch controllable factors are an environmental factor, financial potential, level of quality of service, level of management skills, the tariff for passenger transportation. The model can be used to predict the influence of controllable factors at the level of the innovativeness of providers of urban public transport services. The results of the research can be useful for scientific and practical workers, teachers, students of higher educational establishments. Keywords: econometric model, factors of innovativeness, innovativeness, urban transport, ecologists.

Evaluation of Management Skills and Training among Horticultural Farmers in Botswana

This quantitative study aimed to determine the level of management skills and training among small scale horticultural farmers in Botswana. The study adopted an exploratory and descriptive survey research design. A valid and reliable questionnaire was used to collect data through a survey of forty (n=40) purposively sampled small scale horticultural farmers in Botswana. A six-point Likerts’ scale ranging from 0=No skill to 5=very high skill was used to measure the level of eight areas of farm management skills and training namely; planning and goal setting skills, accounting and financial management skills, communication skills, productivity management skills, product procurement and marketing skills, decision making skills, risk management skills, and technical skills. Mean and standard deviations for each of the farm management skills were calculated and, tested for their significance using a Chi Square test. Findings revealed that farmers had an overall high level of farm management skills and training. Communication skill was the only skill which the farmers had at a very high level. Farmers had high skills levels in the technical skills, product procurement and marketing management skills, planning and goal setting skills and, decision-making skills. Farmers had a low skill levels in risk management skills followed by accounting and financial management skills and, production and productivity management skills. Therefore, the farmers need to be adequately trained in skill areas of risk management, production and productivity management skills and, accounting and financial management. Specific and important recommendations include formulation and implementation of effective agricultural insurance policies; inculcate the adoption of appropriate farm technologies, leadership and cooperation skills among farmers and, training of farmers in the areas of scientific production techniques, plant protection and record keeping. To prioritize the areas for effective and time bound improvement in the farm management skills among horticultural farmers, further study can be conducted to determine the influence of socio-economic characteristics of farmers on the level of their farm management skills.

Training hospital managers for strategic planning and management: a prospective study.

BackgroundTraining is the systematic acquisition of skills, rules, concepts, or attitudes and is one of the most important components in any organization’s strategy. There is increasing demand for formal and informal training programs especially for physicians in leadership positions. This study determined the learning outcomes after a specific training program for hospital management teams.MethodsThe study was conducted during 2006 and 2007 at the Centre School of Public Health and Management, Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade and included 107 participants involved in the management in 20 Serbian general hospitals. The management teams were multidisciplinary, consisting of five members on average: the director of the general hospital, the deputy directors, the head nurse, and the chiefs of support services. The managers attended a training program, which comprised four modules addressing specific topics. Three reviewers independently evaluated the level of management skills at the beginning and 12 months after the training program. Principal component analysis and subsequent stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were performed to determine predictors of learning outcomes.ResultsThe quality of the SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analyses performed by the trainees improved with differences between 0.35 and 0.49 on a Likert scale (p < 0.001). Principal component analysis explained 81% of the variance affecting their quality of strategic planning. Following the training program, the external environment, strategic positioning, and quality of care were predictors of learning outcomes. The four regression models used showed that the training program had positive effects (p < 0.001) on the ability to formulate a Strategic Plan comprising the hospital mission, vision, strategic objectives, and action plan.ConclusionThis study provided evidence that training for strategic planning and management enhanced the strategic decision-making of hospital management teams, which is a requirement for hospitals in an increasingly competitive, complex and challenging context. For the first time, half of state general hospitals involved in team training have formulated the development of an official strategic plan. The positive effects of the formal training program justify additional investment in future education and training.

This study was carried out in the south-east of Ireland (Co. Wexford) over a four-year period (1984-7) to determine the factors responsible for the variation in yield of spring barley obtained by growers whose farms were situated on the Clonroche Soils Series. The results show that the level of management skills had a significant effect (P&lt;0.00l Jon yield variance in all four years. The mean difference in yield over the four-year period between the most skilled growers (Class 1) and the least skilled growers (Class 3) was 1.13 t/ha. Soil depth differences within the Clonroche Series gave significant difference (P&lt;0.001) in yield only in 1984. when the soil moisture stress was sufficiently great to expose the difference in moisture-holding capacities of the three depth phases within the Series. Key Index Words: Clonroche Soils Series, yields, management skills.
