Phases in novice university teachers’ development of self-efficacy across and within teacher tasks: a Rasch Analysis

ABSTRACT Supporting academics’ initial development as university teachers is important for improving their ability to contribute to high-quality education and for reducing anxiety and stress around teaching. Focusing on tasks experienced as challenging is considered a key principle for organising effective teacher professional development. To apply this principle in practice, more knowledge is needed about the development of novice university teachers’ self-efficacy in their teacher tasks. Therefore, this study aims to investigate phases in the development of novice university teachers’ self-efficacy. Data were collected amongst 201 novice university teachers at a Dutch research-intensive university and associated university medical centre, using a questionnaire measuring self-efficacy in different teacher tasks. Polytomous Rasch analyses were performed on novice university teachers’ self-efficacy scores, both across and within teacher tasks. Results suggested three developmental phases in novice university teachers’ self-efficacy across teacher tasks: (1) development in ‘teaching and supporting learning’, (2) development in ‘assessment and feedback’ and ‘educational design’, (3) development in ‘educational leadership and management’ and ‘educational scholarship and research’. Two or three phases for the development of self-efficacy were found within each of these teacher tasks. These results expand our knowledge of the development of academics’ self-efficacy related to specific teacher tasks. They also provide suggestions for how pedagogic training and workplace learning may be shaped in such a way that they focus novice university teachers’ learning on teacher tasks that are difficult but not overchallenging.

Research on Optimization Path of Higher Education Management Based on Collaborative Filtering Algorithm

In order to better realize the optimization of university education management, this paper puts forward the research on the optimization path of university education management under collaborative filtering algorithm. The optimization of higher education management is divided into several management directions. First, the teaching resource recommendation management, using collaborative filtering algorithm based on emotional tendency, analyzes the comments of users of teaching resources, and recommends the teaching resources to users next time according to the emotional tendency obtained from the analysis. Second, the library book recommendation management, constructing the characteristic model of library book borrowing users, uses collaborative filtering algorithm to generate nearest neighbors, calculating the similarity of users, and recommending books that meet their characteristics for users according to the similarity. Finally, the management of personalized course selection recommendation in colleges and universities, which uses the historical information of students to establish the evaluation matrix of course selection, searches the nearest neighbors according to the evaluation matrix, and produces the personalized course selection recommendation results of the students according to the nearest neighbors. According to the experiment, the recommended users can be satisfied with the recommended results in different directions of education management. After applying this method, the overall quality of college students has been significantly improved, the expenditure of education management in colleges and universities has been significantly reduced, and the optimization effect of education management in colleges and universities has been remarkable.

Implementation and outcomes of an enhanced recovery after surgery pathway for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in East and Central Africa: A prospective non-randomized controlled trial in Rwanda's Tertiary Teaching Hospital.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs have demonstrated efficacy in optimizing perioperative care and improving patient outcomes in various surgeries. However, their implementation and outcomes in resource-limited settings remain underexplored. This study aimed to assess the implementation of an ERAS protocol for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in such a setting. This prospective non-randomized controlled trial involved 100 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali, Rwanda. The first 50 patients on the ERAS pathway were prospectively evaluated and retrospectively compared to the last 50 patients operated on before ERAS implementation. Data on demographics, preoperative information, intraoperative compliance, postoperative events, and patient feedback were collected and analyzed. ERAS implementation resulted in a significant reduction in hospital length of stay (LOS) (p<0.001) without increase in complications. Compliance with ERAS principles, including preoperative education and perioperative management, was more than 90%. ERAS also reduced costs due to quicker recovery and shorter hospital LOS. The implementation of ERAS for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a limited-resource setting is feasible and safe, suggesting the possibility of its potential adoption in other abdominal procedures. A high level of adherence to the ERAS pathway can be achieved with effective patient education and the dedication of healthcare providers.

Balancing enjoyment and learning in teaching software project management with game-based learning

Despite advancements in project management education, project failures remain common, often due to insufficient experience and skills. Games offer a valuable platform for teaching practical project management skills, allowing players to learn from mistakes without significant economic costs.

The Effect of Menstrual Hygiene Management on Girl Child School Attendance at St Marys Girls Vocational School in Kamukuzi Division, Mbarara City

This study assessed the effects of menstrual hygiene management on school attendance among female adolescent students at St. Mary's Girls Vocational School in Kamukuzi Division, Mbarara City. The researchers employed systematic random sampling to select 45 respondents from Form One and Form Two, as these students were expected to have experienced their menstrual periods. The majority of the respondents were aged 13-14 years. While some girls used handkerchief cloths or hand towels as menstrual management materials, most of them used sanitary pads and disposed of them in the toilets. The researchers conducted a Pearson correlation coefficient analysis in SPSS to examine the relationship between menstrual hygiene management and school attendance. The analysis revealed a weak positive correlation coefficient of 0.210, indicating a weak relationship between menstrual hygiene management and school attendance. However, the p-value of 0.167 suggested that the results were not statistically significant. The study concluded that there is an impact of menstrual hygiene management on school absenteeism, as girls who experienced longer periods tended to miss more school days. However, the weak relationship and lack of statistical significance indicate that other factors may also contribute to school attendance among adolescent girls, and menstrual hygiene management alone may not be the sole determinant. This study provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by adolescent girls in managing menstruation and its potential impact on their school attendance. It highlights the need for comprehensive menstrual hygiene management education and support programs in schools to ensure that girls have access to appropriate materials and facilities. By addressing these challenges, schools can create a supportive environment that promotes regular attendance and educational opportunities for all female students, even during menstruation

Application of SAK ETAP in the Financial Statements of Savings and Loans Cooperative

The general background the financial statements of cooperatives are essential for transparent and accountable operations, particularly in non-public entities like Savings and Loans Cooperatives. Specific background the Savings and Loans Cooperative (KSP) "BAHAGIA" has been operating since 1980, but the application of SAK ETAP (Financial Accounting Standards for Entities Without Public Accountability) in its financial reporting remains incomplete, particularly in its notes to financial statements and cash flow presentation. Knowledge gap while SAK ETAP provides a standardized framework, many cooperatives, including KSP "BAHAGIA," struggle to fully implement it due to a lack of understanding and technical capacity. This study aims to analyze the extent to which SAK ETAP is applied in KSP "BAHAGIA"'s financial reports, identify gaps in compliance, and offer recommendations for improvement. Results the findings reveal that while KSP "BAHAGIA" adheres to some SAK ETAP requirements, such as balance sheets and income statements, significant discrepancies exist in the notes to financial statements and the exclusion of investment property in cash flow reports. Novelty this research highlights a critical gap in financial reporting for non-public cooperatives, emphasizing the need for targeted education and training for cooperative management in SAK ETAP compliance. Implications the study's recommendations can help KSP "BAHAGIA" and similar cooperatives improve financial transparency, ultimately enhancing member trust and cooperative governance. Highlights: Incomplete SAK ETAP implementation affects financial transparency in cooperatives. Key discrepancies found in notes to financial statements and cash flow reporting. Improved SAK ETAP education for cooperative management is crucial for compliance. Keywords: Financial Reporting, Cooperatives, SAK ETAP, Non-Public Entities, Compliance

Evolution of public administration and its implication to management and business education

The paper offers a thorough analysis of the historical development of public administration, aiming to gain deeper insights into the current challenges facing the discipline. Utilizing an evolutionary theoretical lens, the study sheds light on the transitional development of Public Administration (PA). Additionally, it discusses the New Public Administration (NPA) and its implications for the integrity of the public administration discipline. Through a comprehensive review of literature, the paper establishes that despite the logical progressions of public administration presented in literature, there is evidence of a recurring identity crisis within the discipline, with significant implications for business education. Furthermore, the paper proposes an ideal concept of a lesson on Public Administration based on current literature, while examining the notion of the dichotomy between political science and public administration. It also argues that the theoretical framework underpinning the development of public administration is likely to evolve due to the dynamic societal consciousness that shapes this discipline. Ultimately, the paper suggests a theoretical framework that may gain traction in management and business education by combining the founding principles of public administration with the contemporary emerging needs of a transitional industrial order.

Management Strategies for Higher Education Institutions Based on the Principles of Education for Sustainable Development in the Lower Northern Region

Education for sustainable development is globally acknowledged as crucial for fostering knowledge, skills, and values essential for sustainable living. This research aimed to (1) examine the current and desired conditions of administrative strategies in higher education institutions in the lower northern region based on the concept of education for sustainable development, and (2) develop corresponding strategies focusing on economic, social, environmental, and systemic dimensions. A mixed-method approach was employed, with a sample of 243 administrators and personnel from 12 universities in the region. Research instruments included a conceptual framework assessment, a questionnaire, and structured interviews. The findings revealed that current administrative practices ranked as follows: (1) curriculum development, (2) teaching and learning management, and (3) educational measurement and evaluation. While all aspects showed a good level of development, the desired conditions indicated the need for further improvement, with the ranking of (1) curriculum development, (2) educational measurement and evaluation, and (3) educational management. The study identified three core strategies: (1) reforming integrated curriculum design to align with sustainable development by emphasizing comprehensive systems that connect theory to practice; (2) enhancing the quality of educational measurement and evaluation to support sustainability-focused skills and concepts; and (3) transforming teaching and learning management by utilizing technology to foster an environment conducive to learning and innovation. These strategies are essential for guiding universities toward sustainable development and align with Thailand’s higher education standards focused on producing skilled, knowledgeable, and sustainability-minded graduates.

An empirical study on the relationship between emotional labor and work performance among university teachers.

This study is based on the theory of emotional events and explores the relationship between emotional labor and the job performance of university teachers. Relevant data was obtained through a questionnaire, and a structural equation model was constructed for path analysis. The study found that the surface performance of university teachers has a significant negative impact on relationship performance and task performance; deep performance and proactive authenticity of university teachers have a significant positive impact on relationship performance, task performance, and adaptability performance, respectively; the passive reality of university teachers has a significant negative impact on relationship performance, task performance, and adaptability performance. Based on research findings, this study proposes suggestions for the performance evaluation mechanism of university teachers, including improving the recruitment methods, increasing the emotional labor assessment and incentive mechanism, focusing on alleviating negative emotions of teachers, strengthening the awareness guidance and education of school management and teachers on emotional labor, establishing training courses on emotional labor for teachers, arranging various activities reasonably, and creating a good working atmosphere. Ultimately, these suggestions aim to help university teachers recognize the significance of emotional labor, promote their educational and teaching work, and provide new methods and paths for improving the work performance of university teachers.

Boardcraft: Learning the Art of Strategic Decision-Making Card by Card

Boardcraft, an interactive, sequential card game, is a powerful tool for teaching Strategic Management in an undergraduate Business Administration Degree. This innovative game provides students with practical experience in strategic analysis, business strategy formulation, and strategic decision-making, addressing one of the main challenges of social science teaching: practical application. The objective of the research to be carried out is to find evidence of a change in students' attitudes towards making strategic decisions. To do this, two questionnaires will be carried out, one before and one after the game's introduction in the classroom, three months apart. The data will tell us if decision-making through a business strategy game changes their perception and attitude towards decision-making by acquiring competencies and skills that prepare them better for decision-making throughout their career and life. This game will streamline the teaching of strategic management in higher education, a subject traditionally based on lectures and case studies. Teaching strategic management is complex since the student is immersed in a context of continuous decision-making that requires the application of an appropriate methodology for proper understanding. Game-based learning (GBL) activities like Boardcraft that bring strategic management closer to real-life contexts are desirable. The application of this game will also allow researchers to analyse the effect of experiential learning, the acquisition of interpersonal and conceptual skills, the importance of aesthetics and the introduction of fun elements in game-based learning.
