Eğitim Yönetimi Süreçlerinde Eleştirel Düşünmenin Gelişimini Etkileyen Faktörlerin İncelenmesi

The sine qua non of educational management processes is critical thinking. It is natural that the primary effort of those engaged in educational management should be on critical thinking. Some problems may occur from time to time in front of critical thinking in educational management. In general, it is possible to group them as hereditary and environmental factors. The hereditary dimension is the effect of a person's cognitive, emotional and spiritual characteristics on critical thinking skills. Within the scope of environmental factors; family, society and school are seen as effective. Family attitudes that do not trust their child and do not recognize and support opportunities in an intellectual sense negatively affect thinking development. At the social level, which is another factor, a social structure containing prejudicial, religious, sexual and political prohibitions hinders the development of critical individuals. In addition, it is known that students who have not received critical thinking teaching during the initial years of education experience difficulties in transitioning from existing learning structures to teaching critical thinking. It is expected that teachers will be at an adequate level in teaching critical thinking. The fact that good planning has not been done also makes it difficult to teach critical thinking.

Beyond the classroom: the evolving spectrum of ESD research in Japan

PurposeEducation for Sustainable Development (ESD) has been robustly endorsed through policy mechanisms, prompting numerous context-specific voluntary initiatives in Japanese schools and communities. However, this field remains in its infancy. This study aimed to investigate the literature on ESD in Japan to reveal research trends, identify research gaps and propose areas for future research, from early childhood to higher and non-formal education.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a qualitative design with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to analyze 88 peer-reviewed empirical studies on ESD in Japan from 2005 to 2023.FindingsThis study has revealed an observable increase in the number of ESD-related publications, especially after 2015. Most studies emphasize formal education, particularly from elementary school to universities. These articles were categorized into seven thematic foci, with “Pedagogical Approaches and Material Development in ESD” being the most prevalent. There has been an evident shift in Japan from traditional lecture-style methods toward learner-centered ESD pedagogies. However, the country lags behind the global education community in terms of research on and the implementation of Teacher Education for Sustainable Development and the Whole-School Approach.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is confined to peer-reviewed, empirical publications in Japanese or English, potentially overlooking significant non-empirical works and studies in other languages. This limitation could mean missing out on broader insights and perspectives. Furthermore, as a qualitative analysis, there's an inherent risk of bias in interpreting data and categorizing themes. These constraints suggest caution in generalizing the findings and indicate areas for further research, such as expanding the linguistic and methodological scope and enhancing objectivity in analysis.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest a pressing need for Japan to refine its approach to ESD, particularly in teacher training and school management, aligning more closely with global practices. For practical application, this involves adopting more holistic teacher education programs and school management strategies that integrate ESD principles comprehensively. Recognizing the unique challenges of Japan's educational culture is crucial for developing tailored strategies that not only follow global best practices but also resonate locally. These insights aim to guide meaningful interventions, promoting an education system adept at addressing sustainability challenges.Originality/valueCategorizing the literature into formal and non-formal settings and subsequently into seven themes offers a clear depiction of the research trends. A comparison of Japan's specific advancements and challenges in ESD with global trends, particularly in pedagogy, teacher education and institutional management, highlights the areas needing further exploration.

Pharmacy barriers for transgender and gender diverse young adults

BackgroundTransgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals face substantial physical and mental health care barriers. Community pharmacies are one of the most accessible health care settings; however, concern for discrimination at the pharmacy has been reported. It is important to gain a better understanding of TGD individual’s perspectives and experiences at the pharmacy to ensure optimal and inclusive care. ObjectiveTo identify TGD individual experiences and barriers at the pharmacy. MethodsThis institutional review board−approved qualitative study recruited TGD young adults in the United States between ages 18 and 29 years for semi-structured focus group discussions. Questions focused on barriers to obtaining medications at the pharmacy and negative or positive experiences with pharmacists. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and transcripts were analyzed for common themes amongst participants. ResultsNine 1.5- to 2-hour focus groups were conducted and included 30 participants (2–6 participants in each group). All participants reported having been prescribed medications by a physician or mental health provider. Participants self-reported issues at pharmacies and with pharmacy personnel. Major themes included issues accessing medications and supplies (needles, syringes), questioning of prescription validity and patient identity, and lack of education or understanding of TGD individuals by pharmacy staff. ConclusionTGD individuals experience barriers at the pharmacy and concerning issues with pharmacy staff. Education, structural competency, and improvements in gender-related data management are necessary for pharmacists and pharmacy staff to provide equitable and inclusive care for TGD individuals.

Integrating large language models in care, research, and education in multiple sclerosis management.

Use of techniques derived from generative artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large language models (LLMs), offer a transformative potential on the management of multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent LLMs have exhibited remarkable skills in producing and understanding human-like texts. The integration of AI in imaging applications and the deployment of foundation models for the classification and prognosis of disease course, including disability progression and even therapy response, have received considerable attention. However, the use of LLMs within the context of MS remains relatively underexplored. LLMs have the potential to support several activities related to MS management. Clinical decision support systems could help selecting proper disease-modifying therapies; AI-based tools could leverage unstructured real-world data for research or virtual tutors may provide adaptive education materials for neurologists and people with MS in the foreseeable future. In this focused review, we explore practical applications of LLMs across the continuum of MS management as an initial scope for future analyses, reflecting on regulatory hurdles and the indispensable role of human supervision.

Some issues of public administration of education and science

Problem setting. The essential globalization changes require new approaches to the management of the educational sphere, which is an integral set of educational structures, relations, activities and consciousness that ensures the reproduction and development of the intellectual potential of society. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure an optimal ratio of newly introduced elements with traditional ones intended for the management of an educational institution. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The article mainly analyzes the provisions of Ukraine’s regulatory legal acts. Among domestic scholars, attention is drawn to the works of: V. E. Khoustova, O. I. Reshetnyak, V. A. Zinchenko, M. V. Kryvanych, I. V. Borisov. Purpose of research is to examine the legal regulation of the system of public administration of education and science at the conceptual level. Article’s main body. The draft Strategy of Innovative Development of Ukraine for 2010-2020 in the context of globalization challenges envisaged the need to reform the management of science and innovation and the need to create a new government body the Ministry of Science and Innovative Development, which would play a coordinating role in the scheme of innovation development management. The newly created ministry would have to formulate state scientific, technological and innovation programs that would be implemented in the interests of all ministries and departments, control and direct budget funds to the scientific, technological and innovation sphere, organize an examination of the effectiveness of scientific teams. Conclusions and prospects for the development. The state has experience in the establishment and functioning of an independent central executive body directly accountable to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, so the proposal for the functioning of such a specialized body is considered to be worthy of support and is quite possible to implement (using this experience with appropriate adaptation to current global challenges and improvement of certain provisions). In our opinion, the main drawback that contributed to the liquidation of the state committee was the lack of a systematic combination of the powers of the committee and the NAS of Ukraine in the field of science. 2. Specialized bodies for the development of science and innovation in Europe play a crucial role in the development of scientific research, technology and innovation, provide funding and support for scientific and technological projects, contributing to economic growth and social progress, so it is important to adopt this experience to ensure optimization of the management of science and education in Ukraine.

Meta-Analysis of Collaborative Learning Approaches in Educational Management and Their Impact on Student Performance

This meta-analysis investigates the effects of collaborative learning approaches within the framework of educational management and their impact on student performance. Collaborative learning, as a student-centered instructional method, has been widely adopted across various educational levels and settings. However, its effectiveness in enhancing academic achievement remains a topic of debate. This study synthesizes findings from 12 empirical studies conducted between 2022-2024, covering primary, secondary, and higher education contexts globally. Using a random-effects model, the meta-analysis quantifies the overall effect size of collaborative learning approaches on student performance, while accounting for variations in geographical region, subject matter, and educational level. The results reveal a high to strong positive effect of collaborative learning on student academic performance (mean effect size = 0.819). Additionally, subgroup analyses show that the impact is more pronounced in subjects requiring higher-order thinking skills, such as science and mathematics, and in educational settings where collaborative learning is systematically supported by institutional management. The analysis also highlights key factors that influence the success of collaborative learning, including group dynamics, teacher facilitation, and the integration of technology.

Prehospital Management of Postpartum Hemorrhage-A National, Cross-Sectional Study in Norway.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a critical birth complication, and is stated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as among the five most frequent causes of death during pregnancy. External aortic compression (EAC) is recommended by the WHO as an intervention to achieve temporary bleeding control. An increasing number of births outside hospital underlines the importance of competence in handling potential birth complications, such as PPH. The aim of this study was to assess prehospital personnel's education, training, knowledge, and experiences regarding PPH and EAC across Norway. Prehospital personnel were invited to respond to a questionnaire through social media. Questions included those on education, training, knowledge, and experience regarding PPH and EAC. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28 was used to analyze the data, using descriptive statistics. Over a two-month period, 211 prehospital personnel responded to the questionnaire, of whom 55.5% were male. The respondents had an average of 10.3 years of prehospital experience. About half of the respondents had received education (48.6%) and training (62.4%) in PPH management. Still, 95.7 percent reported a need for more education and training. On knowledge questions, only half of the responses were correct (43.7% to 60.5%). Only 21 percent of the respondents had experienced patients with PPH, and of these only 3.8 percent had used EAC. Bimanual uterine compression was the most frequent intervention used (62.5%) across hospital trusts. Even if prehospital personnel receive education and training in the management of PPH and EAC, almost all report needing more. The results indicate a national variation, which may be discussed as to whether it is appropriate.

Current state of education in venous diseases within vascular surgery training programs in Italy: A national web-based survey among residents

Background To analyze the perception of vascular surgery trainees from Italian schools of Vascular Surgery regarding the level of practical and theoretical education in venous diseases. Methods An anonymous electronic survey was sent to Italian vascular surgery residents affiliated with 19 universities, asking about their training and experience in the management of venous diseases. The survey gathered information on the residents’ personal and demographic details, their university’s teaching program, operative experience in phlebology, as well as their confidence levels in performing various venous procedures, with the goal of analyzing the training and learning programs provided by Italian vascular surgery schools. Results The analysis showed that 28% of programs do not include phlebology in the curriculum, and more than 40% of residents are unable to independently perform venous duplex ultrasound or treat venous ulcers. Additionally, most residents (over 70%) have limited weekly exposure to phlebology cases, with only 5% having access to a dedicated phlebology operating room. The vast majority of residents (96%) expressed a strong desire to deepen their knowledge and skills in this field, particularly in areas such as endovascular ablation techniques, venous duplex ultrasound, and management of deep venous disease. Conclusions The survey reveals significant limitations in phlebology education and hands-on experience within the current training programs, highlighting the need to standardize and enhance venous disease management education in order to ensure that future vascular surgeons are adequately equipped to provide high-quality care for patients with a wide range of venous disorders.

QUALITY ENHANCEMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN CAMBODIA

Quality improvement is critical for both public and private colleges in Cambodia. The purpose of this study is to identify common quality management practices in Cambodian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), measure the relationships between quality management and quality assessments (internal and external), and evaluate the relationships between quality assessments and HE quality enhancement. A quantitative research approach was used in this study to evaluate the factors between quality enhancement and quality management for their significant implications. This study used simple and multivariate regressions to look at how quality assurance variables affect higher education quality. The study developed accurate questionnaires for 337 people from Cambodia's private and public higher education colleges and institutes, including academics and management staff. According to the findings, the majority of institutions regarded academic curriculum, facilities, educational management, academic staff and teaching methodologies, and student evaluation as critical quality management measures. However, they placed less emphasis on cooperation. The multiple regression analysis revealed that factors related to internal quality assessment (IQA), external quality assessment (EQA), and HE quality enhancement were consistent, indicating that academic curriculum, student assessment, facilities, support staff, and collaborations were potential factors for improving higher education quality. The emphasis on Internal Quality Assessment (IQA) and External Quality Assessment (EQA) resulted in dramatically enhanced higher education quality. Highly ranked institutions tended to have a better IQA and EQA system, and IQA and EQA played an important role in conducting frequent examinations of quality management methods.

Public aspects of public manager training, education and development

IMPACT This article will be of interest to those undergoing or responsible for management and leadership development in public organizations, in both policy and practice. Training providers such as consultancies, universities and colleges will also find the article useful. The article challenges the assumption that management capabilities are generic and context-free. The article argues that public organizations exist in a political system, not a market, and therefore senior public leaders and managers will benefit from systematic learning about democracy, public value and political astuteness in order to operate as professional, fair and impartial public servants.

Maximizing the Minimum: The Advantages of Repeated Measures in Construction Management Education Research

ABSTRACT Many construction management (CM) courses have low enrollment numbers, making them difficult to study using independent measures research designs. However, repeated measures (RM) research designs, which have historically been underutilized in CM education research, can be used to overcome the deleterious effects of low participation by increasing the number of measurements to achieve sufficient statistical power (i.e. 1-β greater than .80). This paper is the final installment in a research series documenting an RM experiment testing the effectiveness of instructional videos on undergraduate CM students. The emphasis of this paper is on the research method – a within-subject, withdrawal-of-treatment, crossover, RM experimental design – chosen for its ability to increase the statistical power for small sample sizes. The final, actual statistical power of the study was .99. Incongruous with most research testing the pedagogical effectiveness of instructional videos, the study found no statistically significant difference between students who were given instructional videos and the control group. Researchers should consider using RM designs to amplify statistical power in studies with low anticipated participation or to avoid missing clear opportunities to improve the quality and precision of their research findings by increasing the quantity of measurements.

Research on the influence mechanism of college students' mainstream consciousness leadership under the background of mobile Internet

In recent years, the rapid innovation and popularization of mobile communication and new media technologies have brought about profound changes in the mode of social information dissemination. For college students whose ideological values are still in the critical period of development and change, how to enhance their mainstream ideological leadership in the mobile Internet era and guide the ideological and behavioral development of college students with socialist ideology guided by Marxism has become a common focus of attention in society and academia. At present, the research on the mainstream ideological leadership of college students in the academic community mainly focuses on the negative impact of modern communication technologies such as new media on the ideological work of colleges and universities and the corresponding countermeasures, while the theoretical core and internal composition of the mainstream ideological leadership, as well as the deep impact logic, positive and negative impacts and systematic improvement paths of the technological and social changes in the mobile Internet era on the mainstream ideological leadership of college students are still insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to go beyond the research perspective of traditional college ideological education management, deeply explore the basic connotation and force composition of the mainstream ideological leadership, systematically analyze the deep impact logic of the mobile Internet era on the mainstream ideological leadership of college students, sort out its improvement opportunities, and explore the structural dilemmas in it, and propose a systematic path for improving the mainstream ideological leadership of college students.

Relationship of professional identity and efficacy of Chinese public university lecturers under the appointment system in sustainable human resource management

For Chinese university lecturers, implementing sustainable human resource management (SHRM) is particularly critical. China's higher education is going through an essential stage of appointment system reform aiming to overturn the traditional civil service status of university lecturers and introduce a more flexible work and talent management mechanism to universities to international teaching standards; lecturers also raise concerns about their professional role, educational mission, balance of rights and interests, and the reshaping of the evaluation system. Based on the resource-based perspective and psychological contract theory, this study aimed to explore the relationship between sustainable human resource management (SHRM) and lecturers' professional identity in the context of China's appointment system, focusing on analyzing the moderating role of lecturers' self-efficacy. This study used a quantitative research approach to collect survey data from 610 lecturers at public colleges and universities in China. The data were analyzed with a structural equation model to test the hypothesized relationships. SHRM was directly and positively related to lecturers' self-efficacy and sense of professional identity and indirectly improved sense of professional identity by enhancing self-efficacy. The findings are consistent with existing literature, emphasize the importance of SHRM in promoting lecturers' career development, and provide empirical support for applying SHRM in the context of Chinese higher education. The study provides recommendations in three dimensions: Government, University, and Faculty. It provides guidance for strategic reform of human resource management in higher education, faculty career development, and improving education quality.
