The article explores the role of information and digital technologies (IGT) in the formation of quality education management in secondary educational institutions. The author notes that in the modern world, the development of IGT has a significant impact on all areas of life, including education. The implementation of IGT in secondary educational institutions can contribute to improving the quality of education by enhancing the organization of the learning process, providing access to information resources, increasing student motivation for learning, and ensuring effective communication among all participants in the educational process. The article investigates the application of Deming’s recommendations, known as one of the pioneers in quality management, to educational institutions, particularly schools. An analysis of Deming’s fundamental principles and recommendations, such as a focus on continuous improvement, a systematic approach, leadership commitment, problem-solving based on facts and data, and promoting collaboration and interaction, is conducted. The article emphasizes the importance of quality management systems that help educational institutions effectively manage the quality of education, such as the PDCA methodology and Lean approaches. The author examines specific steps for implementing the IGT utilization strategy in education, including the creation of an integrated information-analytical system, the implementation of an electronic reporting system, the use of electronic textbooks and educational materials, providing access to electronic resources, organizing remote learning, involving students in active participation, and supporting the professional development of teachers. Overall, the article elucidates the importance and role of IGT in shaping the quality management of education in secondary educational institutions. The integration of IGT into the educational process contributes to improved learning organization, the creation of favorable conditions for student development, enhanced communication efficiency, and expanded access to information resources.

Towards a scientific interpretation of the social effectiveness of education

The article substantiates the problem of the social effectiveness of education as the main scientific and practical product and, at the same time, as the area of theoretical integration of the sociology of education. Its solution is a prerequisite for overcoming bureau-pathologies and the transition from universal and bureaucratic management to scientific management of education. The approach to the social effectiveness of education is disclosed on the basis of the concept of its institutional functions, as the ratio of socially significant results to the total costs (including intangible) of education. The interpretation of this problem involves: determining the methodological role of sociology in solving this theoretical and applied problem; taking into account the entire spectrum of institutional functions (impact on all spheres of society, delay in results in time; irreducibility to a market service or pedo-centric and "competence" schemes); interdisciplinary interaction for the conceptualisation of social costs and results. The absence of the concept of "social effectiveness of education" in the current legislation of the Russian Federation creates a normative space for bureaupathologies in educational policy. Bureaucrats replace the public efficiency of education – a multi-component criterion of management quality – with project management that is advantageous to them. They ignore the extensive responsibility of education in society, breaking up its management into short projects, and in this the bureaucrats´ actions merge with neoliberal “modernisations” and pedo-centric “reforms”, leading education to a crisis, waste of state resources, and lagging behind in global competition. The author comes to the conclusion that in order to solve the problem of efficiency, a methodology for analysing public costs and results of education within the framework of its institutional functions is necessary. Successful development of the concept of public efficiency will ensure the accelerated development of the sociology of education in Russia against the background of global trends of shallow topics and theoretical disintegration of this branch of science. The latter, in the author's opinion, fully meets the priorities of Russian society, education and science.

Objectives This study aimed to examine the effect of an applied menstrual self-care management education program provided to adolescents with intellectual disabilities and their mothers on their knowledge, skills, and anxiety levels. Methods A quasi-experimental design based on pre-test and post-test models was conducted with two different groups. The population consisted of adolescents with intellectual disabilities attending three special education and rehabilitation centers in a province and their mothers, while the sample included 32 adolescents with intellectual disabilities and their mothers who met the research criteria. Data were collected using a Demographic Information and Menstrual Characteristics Form and the Beck Anxiety Scale. Descriptive statistical methods (Mean, Standard Deviation) and t-test were employed. Results The applied education program provided education to both mothers and adolescents with intellectual disabilities using a simulator model demonstrating the perineal area and a guide developed for menstrual self-care, and they were asked to perform the practices. Following the education, both mothers and adolescents with intellectual disabilities showed effective gains in knowledge and skills, while also experiencing a reduction in anxiety. Conclusions Providing the same education to both mothers and adolescents with intellectual disabilities not only reduced potential caregiving issues but also facilitated communication between the adolescent and the mother. The study enabled adolescents with intellectual disabilities to realize their potential and decreased dependency on their mothers for care.

Educational Migration to Kyrgyzstan: Trends and Prospects

Educational migration in Kyrgyzstan has its own socio-demographic structure, which may vary depending on a number of factors, such as age, gender, nationality, educational level, etc. One of the main trends of educational migration to Kyrgyzstan is the increase in the number of students from neighboring countries such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, as well as the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus. This is due to both economic reasons and historical ties and cultural similarities between these countries. Educational migration to Kyrgyzstan from India, Pakistan and other countries has its own socio-demographic structure, which differs from educational migration from other countries. One of the main factors that stimulates educational migration is the lack of quality education in the home country. Many students seek to get an education in the West, where it is considered to be of higher quality and prestigious. In addition, educational migration can be caused by the desire to improve prospects in the labor market and get a highly paid job abroad. The forecast of educational migration in Kyrgyzstan is given. The author believes that there will be a positive trend in the development of educational migration in Kyrgyzstan, which will have a positive impact on the economy of Kyrgyzstan. The developed recommendations for improving the education management system in the Kyrgyz Republic contribute to the promotion and implementation of educational services aimed at students.

Academic Workloads: Insights from Medical and Non-medical Lecturers’ Experience in Universiti Sains Malaysia

Academic workload is crucial for effective educational management, but measuring it is challenging due to varying field-specific demands. This study explored the components of academic workload among medical and non-medical lecturers at a Malaysian public university through a phenomenological approach. Focus group discussions (FGDs) with full-time, permanent lecturers were used to gather insights. The FGDs were moderated, audio-recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was conducted using ATLAS.ti version 7, following six steps: reading transcripts, labelling meaningful texts into codes, identifying important codes, compiling related codes into categories, labelling categories, and presenting results. Each transcript was coded by two researchers, with final themes discussed for consensus. Twenty-three lecturers from diverse fields (arts, humanities, health sciences, medicine, engineering, pure sciences, and social sciences) participated. Ten categories of academic workload were identified: teaching, research, administration, supervision, quality assurance, external activities, service, assessment, income generation, and continuous education. These were grouped into four themes: educational load (teaching, supervision, and assessment), scholarly activity load (research and external activities), academic quality load (quality assurance and continuous education), and institutional load (administration, income generation, and service). The study highlighted that academic workloads are intricately linked to the multifaceted roles of academics as educators, scholars, leaders, managers, and professionals.

The Telehealth Education for Asthma Connecting Hospital and Home (TEACHH) pilot study

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of a novel intervention of health literacy-informed, telemedicine-enhanced asthma education and home management support for hospitalized children and caregivers, and assess caregiver perspectives of the intervention. Methods We conducted a pilot randomized trial of the Telehealth Education for Asthma Connecting Hospital and Home (TEACHH) intervention vs. standardized care (SC) for children (5–13 yrs) hospitalized with asthma. Participants in TEACHH received health literacy-informed teaching prior to discharge, including pictorial materials (e.g. flipchart, action plan), color- and shape-coded medication labels, and medication demonstration. Two Zoom-based follow-up teaching visits were completed within 1-month of discharge. Feasibility was assessed by tracking visit completion, and we measured preliminary outcomes using health records (i.e. total asthma-related acute healthcare visits) and blinded surveys of caregivers 2-, 4-, and 6-months post-discharge (i.e. symptom-free days, quality of life). We interviewed caregivers about their perceptions of TEACHH. Transcripts were coded inductively. Results We enrolled 26 children and interviewed 14 caregivers (9 TEACHH, 5 SC). All inpatient sessions were completed, as were 77% of virtual visits. Both groups experienced improved symptoms and quality of life over time. Caregivers valued the teaching, involvement of children, visual tools, and color-coded information of TEACHH. They described child-specific benefits, greater support after discharge, and improved asthma-related communication, and indicated that other families would benefit from similar teaching. Conclusions A novel program of patient-centered asthma education was feasible in both hospital and home settings and well received by caregivers. A larger study is needed to assess the impact of TEACHH on childhood asthma morbidity. Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT04995692 (Registration date 8/9/2021)
