Innovative Development of Informationization in University Management of Education in the Era of Big Data

In the context of the new era, the reform of the education system is imperative, and the informatization development of efficient management has become the focus of the reform of university management. Constrained by inherent thinking, the traditional university management of education model has been unable to meet the development needs of the big data era. Therefore, the management of education model of various universities has gradually innovated and developed in the direction of informatization. After a long period of practice, the current informatization construction of efficient management has achieved certain results, but because its innovative development is still in the exploration stage, its potential advantages have not been fully exerted. Therefore, the informatization of university management of education needs to be innovated. Combine the university teaching management system, flexibly apply big data technology for management informatization innovation, use the information system to carry out management of education work, improve the efficiency of management of education work, establish the correct development concept in line with the requirements of informatization development, further improve the level of management of education informatization development, and further promote the innovative development of university management of education in the era of big data.

Engaging chemistry teachers with inquiry/investigatory based experimental modules for undergraduate chemistry laboratory education

Abstract The experimental domain is central to chemistry education at undergraduate level. It is important that teachers teaching chemistry at this level are oriented with research informed approaches based on work done in chemistry education research. Currently, academic autonomy is being granted to various state colleges affiliated to university system in India and such an orientation is the need of the time. The chemistry group at HBCSE has been conducting capacity building workshops in the experimental domain for chemistry teachers as part of the National Initiative on Undergraduate Science (chemistry) programme. The primary aims are a) present hands-on experiences of experiments developed using inquiry/investigatory approaches and b) help teachers to reflect on related aspects of pedagogy, assessment and content. Often these experiments are selected from the existing lab manuals for teachers to witness how to adapt and modify experiments from their own lab manuals. This paper discusses examples, structure of workshops and feedback from participating teachers who are receptive to these alternative approaches. Conduct of such workshops in regular college set-ups can help teachers to reflect on the existing teaching-learning practices in conventional laboratories. In our opinion, the entire process is equally important to those individuals involved with similar activities globally.

Hurdling obstructions on instructional management of science teachers in schools with challenging laboratory resources

Lacking the resources for hands-on scientific experimentation could impact both students' educational experiences and their long-term proficiency. Without access to laboratories, students miss out on crucial opportunities to engage in practical applications of theoretical concepts, hindering their ability to comprehend scientific principles fully. The purpose of this exploratory study was to analyze the experiences of science teachers (n=20) from last-mile schools in the Philippines. Narratives from science teachers were the primary data in this study being collected through one-on-one interview. Thematic analysis revealed that the science teachers were challenged by insufficient resources available in their laboratories while others conduct experiments only in their classrooms while having class. Adapting to their concerns, teachers were able to maintain their instructional competence through hands-on demonstrations, visual and audio-visual presentations, interactive activities, and printout instruction. For science teachers, addressing these challenges requires concerted efforts from policymakers, educational institutions, and stakeholders to ensure equitable access to resources and professional development opportunities for teachers. The study emphasized the need for sustainable solutions to bridge the gap between resource-rich and resource-poor schools, ultimately enhancing students' educational experiences and long-term proficiency in science.
