Illocutionary Acts in Recorded Presentations of English Education Master's Program Students

This study aims to identify the illocutionary acts used by English Education Master’s Program students and the underlying reasons for them to use the acts in their recorded presentations. There is little study on master’s degree students, especially in the pandemic era. Therefore, this study attempted to identify the illocutionary acts performed by master’s degree students in the recorded presentation. This study used qualitative research in order to collect and analyze the data. Searle’s (1979) theory of the illocutionary act is used. The data was taken from the videos which were transcript. The transcription was used to analyze the illocutionary acts used by the students. The qualitative data showed that the students mainly used representatives (66%), directives (26%), and expressive acts (8%) in the video 1 of the recorded presentation. Similarly, in the second video, the student used representatives (68%), directives (25%), and expressive (6%). Besides, none of the videos were showing the students’ commissive and declarative acts. Results showed that the students used it for explaining to the audiences about facts or theories and examples.

Thus, it can be concluded that the ecolinguistic learning model for the Indonesian Language Education Masters Program is feasible to implement without revision.

Determination of the relationship between the Vocational Qualifications and Academic Programs on a Perceived Competencies Basis Approach: A Case for Geographical Information Systems

GIS education and training activities become widespread as GIS utilization inevitably increases worldwide. Besides, vocational standards and qualifications are developed to form a quality assurance basis for GIS-related jobs and services and the employment of qualified personnel. From this perspective, this study aims to examine to what level the graduates of GIS associate degree, master, and doctorate programs have gained the necessary knowledge and competencies defined in the GIS Specialist (Level 6) National Qualification throughout their academic education. Within this context, an online survey was developed based on 43 performance criteria derived from the vocational qualification units (A1, A2, A3). The respondents were asked to self-evaluate the achievement of the given criteria during their academic education on a 5-point Likert scale. It was detected that 39.1% of the 174 survey participants have associate degrees, 61.7% have master's degrees (with thesis, without thesis, and distance education), and 6.9% have doctorate degrees. In comparison, 3% of them completed the GIS certificate program. The results showed that the competency achievement perceptions in the A3 section increased following the education level of the graduates. No significant difference was determined for A1, while an insignificant difference was detected for the A2 unit between the graduates of doctorate and distance education master's degree programs. The results are expected to be adopted by the relevant parties to align the GIS education programs with the sectoral needs and vocational qualifications.

School Leaders’ Crisis Leadership Competencies and their Pandemic Response Strategies

Based on the Meta-Leadership Model of Marcus et al. (2007), as cited by Saltz (2017), this research documented and assessed the crisis leadership competencies and pandemic response strategies of school leaders in the DepEd Division of Northern Samar. Utilizing a sequential exploratory approach, qualitative and quantitative designs were adopted. Thus, in the qualitative component, eight (8) school leaders participated in face-to-face interview sessions, wherein the emerging themes from their responses highlighted the concept that meta-leaders have a higher effect than their real authority because they exert a strong influence on their followers, aiding them in overcoming obstacles and seizing opportunities. They understood the nature and significance of the situation, and in order to keep a diverse group of people on track, they weaved together key themes that highlighted the organization's core purpose and ambitions. In the qualitative aspect, the broader population of 130 respondents answered a questionnaire about school leaders' crisis leadership competencies, which revealed the following results: "Very High" on Team Leadership (AWM =3.25); "High" on Situational Awareness and Integrative Thinking (AWM =3.18); and "High" on Decisiveness and Emotional Effectiveness (AWM =3.24). In addition, respondents completed a questionnaire regarding the extent of the school leader's pandemic response strategies, which revealed the following findings: Promoting Organizational Resilience, "Large Extent" (AWM =3.24); Acting with Integrity, "Very Large Extent" (AWM =3.29); and Exhibiting Learning Orientation, "Large Extent" (AWM =2.96). based on the results, the researcher contends that when establishing a crisis management plan for a successful pandemic response strategy, school leaders must prioritize the following elements: communication, high productivity, technology use, and accessibility. On the basis of these factors, the current researcher proposes the following three focus areas for the crisis management plan: (1) establishing guidelines or policies for remote work for faculty and staff; (2) embracing remote work for department heads, master teachers, and focal persons; and (3) developing inclusive and collaborative virtual meetings. The researcher also suggests that school administrators think about adopting the recommended crisis management plan to make sure that all important aspects of the school system are taken care of.

Oryctolagus Cuniculus, the Teacher of History and Crumpled Geographies

Ambivalence sticks to Oryctolagus cuniculus like a second skin. Originally from Spain, this homebody animal gets lost 500 metres away from his burrow and is scared of water. Today, he is found living on every continent except for Antarctica. With him, nothing is ever simple. He can be domestic or farmed, a pet or a wild animal, a ‘pest’ or an ‘umbrella species’. He is a champion of all categories and moves fluidly from one to the next. The concept of species has always been slippery and the concept of an invasive species even more so. Following the rabbit in his meanderings, we come across encounters between species that humans do not necessarily have control over anymore. We also come across seizures, resistances, submissions, and bifurcations. Is the rabbit only made of alliances and conflicts caught in taut relations? Oryctolagus cuniculus is a masterful teacher of lessons of crumpled history and broken geographies. Drawing from examples of his many adventures, we refer to the ‘contaminated diversity’ dear to Anna Tsing. This seems to be in the vein of the three concepts proposed by John Dewey: ‘self-action’, ‘interaction’, and ‘transaction’ (1949). The transaction rejects the postulate of intrinsic or pre-existing essences. It points to worlds that are always unresolved, provisional, and open to reinterpretation across time and space. If we consider being alive to be a transaction, it is also a way of understanding life that challenges our relationships to objects of knowledge and the ways we name them.

Data Curation Education: Cross-Disciplinary Analysis of Master's Programs

With growing emphasis on data curation practice in both science and industry, there has been a call for information professionals to take on a substantial role in data curation. Library and information science (LIS) education has been responding to this call by offering various training opportunities from Master's education to professional development. The most recent effort to systematically review a data curation curriculum offered by ALA-accredited LIS schools was in 2012, so it is time to revisit the progress and evolution of data curation education. The main goal of this study is to analyze the course content from the syllabi of various programs to understand what is being taught in LIS schools throughout graduate-level education. Further, because the need for data curation is apparent across different disciplines, and thus not only LIS but also other disciplines have been offering data curation courses, this study also analyzed syllabi from other disciplines. A total of 80 syllabi were analyzed in this study: 15 syllabi from 9 ALA-accredited institutions and 65 syllabi from 53 institutions of Carnegie Classification (CC). Our findings suggest a notable growth in LIS education in data curation since 2012, but LIS education still provides less training in technical skills. There was also a distinctive difference in educational approach to teach data curation between LIS (user- and service-oriented) and other disciplines (technical skills−focused), which brought different strengths and weaknesses in curriculum.

Wound management provided by advanced practice nurses: a scoping review.

The objective of the review was to map the similarities and differences in the wound care practices of nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and advanced practice registered nurses, globally. Advanced practice nurses have graduate education and advanced scope of practice. Adding advanced wound care training to their skill set provides an opportunity for advanced practice nurses to provide wound care. This review considered for inclusion studies of advanced practice nurses globally who are registered nurses with graduate-level education and advanced training (certification/education) in wound care in any setting. The review was conducted using JBI methodology for scoping reviews. The databases searched included MEDLINE, CINAHL, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. To reflect changes in the advanced practice nursing scope of practice, searches were limited to articles published from 2011 onward. Articles in languages other than English were translated. Two reviewers independently reviewed titles and abstracts; relevant sources were retrieved in full and screened for eligibility against the inclusion criteria. An additional independent reviewer resolved any disagreements. Data were extracted using a data extraction tool. Extracted data included similarities and differences in wound care practice (type of wound, practice setting, treatments). There were 2504 abstracts screened, and 158 articles were screened at full text. Seven articles were included in this review: 3 sources from the United States, 2 from Australia, and 1 each from Canada and The Netherlands. All 7 sources focused on nurse practitioners. Wound care education varied from certification in wound ostomy to a master's education in wounds. The practice setting varied; there were 2 primary care clinics, 2 community clinics, a wound care center; a suburban hospital, and a study that included tertiary, community, and residential care. Treatments varied, but the sources specific to pressure injuries discussed assessments, cleansing, dressings, topical products, and offloading surfaces/equipment. One source examined the impact of hiring nurse practitioners as wound care consultants. Sources that discussed treatments for various wounds described comprehensive assessments, diagnostic investigations, referrals, wound management, and medications prescribed. This review outlined the characteristics of advanced practice nurses providing wound care and their practice settings, types of wounds, and treatments provided. Many articles on advanced practice nurses with advanced wound care expertise lack a description of the graduate-level education and/or the specifics regarding wound care certification. This prevents comparison of advanced practice nurses with each other and with other providers regarding the impact that advanced practice nurses have on the health care system in relation to wound care, including cost, access to services, and patient satisfaction.

ENRICH: The Developed English Grade 8 Most Essential Learning Competencies-Based and Integration-Focused Worksheets

This paper presents the development and validation of an English Grade 8 Worksheet aligned with the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) and emphasizing integration across subjects. A quantitative research design was employed to assess these worksheets' content validity and acceptability. The evaluation used simple mean and four-point Likert scales to gauge validity and acceptability. Additionally, a T-test was conducted to determine if there was a significant difference in learner performance between their pretest and posttest. The assessment involved various education professionals, including head teachers, master teachers, subject-specific teachers, and program supervisors. Remarkably, all evaluators unanimously rated the content validity of the worksheets as "Highly Valid," encompassing criteria such as objectives, content, format, language, and presentation. Similarly, the worksheets received unanimous acclaim as "Very Acceptable" regarding functionality, accuracy, suitability, and usability. Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement in learner performance from the pretest to the posttest, with a probability value below the 0.05 significance threshold. This suggests that the designed instructional material is well-prepared for implementation in the upcoming school year. In conclusion, this study aimed to create and validate English Grade 8 MELCs-based worksheets that seamlessly integrated content from Science and TLE subjects. The research recognized the need for learning materials that effectively blend English with other subjects while adhering to the K–12 MELCs. By developing and validating these integrated worksheets, the study contributes to enhancing English language education, promoting subject integration, and elevating the quality of interdisciplinary instruction.

Evolving shared value, sustainability and the leadership challenge: Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

Learning outcomes The learning outcomes of this study are to assess the shared value model and elaborate on new multi-stakeholder approaches to business, where the stakeholders include the founders, investors, partners, employees, clients and the surrounding community; to consider the synergies between community development, environmental stewardship, sustainable business practices and the long-term health of organisations and communities, considering these as the new fundamentals of business; to examine the interconnectedness of vision, strategy, purpose and leadership in creating and evolving the shared value model; to explore the relationship between shared value practices and collective well-being, and a specific reference to nurturing transformative experiences through nature, personal development and community upliftment is made; and to assess Grootbos’ ability to translate their purpose and value proposition into a strategy and sustainable vision with a possibility of Grootbos achieving global impact through its evolving model, beyond the founder. Case overview/synopsis This case study explores the evolution of Grootbos Private Nature Reserve and Foundation, a luxury hospitality lodge and award-winning ecotourism destination, from humble beginnings in the Western Cape of South Africa to a global example of conservation, community, commerce sustainability and transformative experiences. The establishing of Grootbos and its growth and widespread recognition can be attributed to the vision and inspirational leadership of its founder, Michael Lutzeyer. Although much success has been achieved in conservation, community upliftment and individual development of community members within their region, Lutzeyer’s and ultimately, Grootbos’ vision extended well beyond South Africa and aspired to elevate their floral kingdom and model of development and conservation to a global platform of awareness. Although a shared value vision and strategy had transformed the business, placing Grootbos as a leader in transforming their industry and sparking an evolution in the shared value model itself through the interjection of transformative experiences, the larger question remained: How can Grootbos extend the impact, towards people and planetary well-being, beyond the scope of their individual place-based business and their industry? And in terms of the dilemma Lutzeyer and the management team at Grootbos faced: How will this vision and global ambition continue through succession, beyond Luzeyer’s personal drive at the helm? Complexity academic level Experienced leaders within a graduate degree program, executive Master of Business Administration (MBA) or executive education in the areas of leadership development, strategy, shared value and international business.
