Rector Of University Research Articles

Information technology for career guidance of creatively gifted university students

The article presents a structural description of the functioning of the regional information and communication system “Student and Labor” (SAL). This system is aimed at identifying and developing creatively gifted youth in the field of science, techniques and technology and is focused on the gradual involvement of university students in real work and interaction with leading enterprises in the region. The first cycle of the SAL system functioning is described, which has a complete character and has already led to a concrete result. The bank of information about the leading enterprises of the region that took part at the initial stage of the functioning of the SAL system were formed as well as the bank of 150 themes of scientific research for student projects, which were proposed by the enterprises themselves. All projects are focused on the practical significance of research for the enterprises themselves, as well as for students, their supervisors from universities and scientific consultants from enterprises that have embarked on joint research activities, which at the first stages are mostly of informational and educational nature. The Union of Employers of the Samara Region and the Council of Rectors of Universities in the Samara region are already taking the necessary measures to implement the described cycle of the functioning of the system SAL in the current academic year.

Ректорство Мартина Хайдеггера: историко-философский анализ

The idea of reorganizing a German university was revealed in the correspondence of the young Martin Heidegger and his friend Karl Jaspers. Prominent thinkers critically analyze the contribution of contemporaries and representatives of the previous generation of scientists and philosophers. Ambitious and confident in their abilities, they hatched a plan, as it seemed to them, for the most important mission: the revival of the spirit of genuine philosophy within the walls of German universities. Repeatedly emphasized in their correspondence in the 1920s - such a high goal will require the reduction of professors of philosophy and "cleansing" of universities from the prospering mediocrity. Despite spiritual aspirations, these philosophers were aware of the need for career growth. Without a proper position, it was impossible to, at least, make any changes in the current system of higher German education and academic philosophy. The author of this article believes that the same thoughts of Heidegger lay at the basis of the ideas expressed in correspondence with Jaspers and in the decision to accept the post of the rector of the University of Freiburg, which played a fatal role in his biography. The period of the duties of the rector Martin Heidegger is covered by the so-called «Black Notebooks». The author of the article departs from the widely used biographical approach in favor of a historical and philosophical analysis of passages of that creation time. The main objective of this work is to identify the basic categories of the being-historical concept of M. Heidegger, manifested in criticism of the academic university philosophy of German universities at the beginning of the 20th century. The philosophy of being history is first touched upon in the aforementioned Black Notebooks. In the volumes of the collected works “Beiträge zur Philosophie”, “Das Ereignis”, “Die Geschichte des Seyns”, addressed by the author of the article, the main part of the being-historical concept is revealed. The leading research method is historical philosophical, which determines the relationship between the fundamental ontological intuitions of the German master and his analysis of factuality, in particular, criticism of German university philosophy. In the framework of this article, the historical philosophical method includes the hermeneutical method, which is necessary when working with the specific language of Heidegger's works, which requires a thorough interpretation.

 Title: The Relation of Physical Setting Concept and Behavior Concept in the Front of Rectorate Building, Case Study: Yogyakarta State University
 Students are the "actors" in the university because of their activities. Students need a certain space in the environment around the university. It becomes interesting when students do their activities around the building that is also the environment for rector and university employees, those happened at the area in front of Yogyakarta State University (UNY) rectorate building. There was a cozy quality (fit) space in there based on perception (cognition and schemata) and adaptation of UNY students for area of the UNY rectorate building. There were some quality factors (property) which is included as environment (physical setting) that affect the activity (behavior) of UNY students. The correlation between activity (behavior pattern) and specific environmental order (physical setting) interpreted as behavior setting. The method used is deductive-qualitative with rationalist paradigm. The data obtained were the result of observation, behavior mapping, interviews, questionnaires, with induction analyzed. The results are: 1) the vertical property provided physical comfort and social comfort; 2) the proximity property provided environmental comfort; 3) the artificial lighting distribution property provided social comfort; 4) the property of which describes the situation of natural protection provided physical comfort and environmental comfort.
 
 

International legal regulation of the education quality

Abstract The category of education quality in the system of higher professional education acts as providing high competitiveness, optimal organization and management of the educational process, as well as access to the world market of educational services. We can talk about the international legal regulation of the quality of education relatively arbitrarily, bearing in mind the practical absence of normative legal acts regulating the relations of subjects of international educational law in the field of regulating the quality of education. We can talk about the international component of assessing the quality of education in the context of the Bologna Declaration, because the Bologna process strengthens the European emphasis on assessment and quality control, accreditation, takes a course towards convergence of standards and assessment procedures. Among the most important reforms proclaimed by the Bologna Declaration, the development of European cooperation based on developed comparable criteria and methods is named. In a resolution of the Congress of European Rectors of Universities (Salamanca, March 29–30, 2001), quality is defined as the “cornerstone”, the “fundamental condition” of trust, relevance, mobility, compatibility, and attractiveness. Rectors reaffirmed their intentions to seek mutually recognized mechanisms for assessing, controlling and certifying quality.

Inconsistent Responses to Notifications of Suspected Plagiarism in Finnish Higher Education

All higher education institutions in Finland are committed to following the guidelines of good scientific practice and procedures to handle allegations of misconduct compiled by the Finnish Advisory Board on Research Integrity. However, there is no research available in what way institutions follow these guidelines. This article analyses the current practices of defining and dealing with plagiarism in published Master’s theses. The data consist of 29 written notifications of suspected plagiarism in Master’s theses that were sent to the rectors of universities and decisions on these 29 cases. Inductive content analysis was used to classify the decisions according to definitions of plagiarism, processes to deal with suspicions and sanctions for plagiarism. Due to inconsistency and perplexity in some of the decisions, classifications are overlapping. The main actor in the process is the rector of the higher education institution who bases the decision on the views of preliminary enquirer. Preliminary inquiry has replaced investigation proper and this allows the procedures to remain internal and local. There is no consensus of the definition of plagiarism, and the sanctions for plagiarism vary from nothing to an attempt to revoke a Master’s degree. The adherence of the higher education institutions to the national ethical guidelines is not optimal and leads to inconsistent responses to notifications of suspected plagiarism.

Are We Training in Sustainability in Higher Education? Case Study: Education Degrees at the University of Salamanca

In this work, we analyzed the progress made in learning sustainability competencies by students belonging to the four Bachelor Education degrees at the University of Salamanca: Early Childhood Education Teacher, Primary Education Teacher, Pedagogy, and Social Education. To assess this progress, the instrument we used was the student questionnaire designed by the EDINSOST project. The questionnaire consisted of 18 questions related to the four sustainability competencies defined in 2011 by the Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities: (1) critical contextualization of knowledge, (2) sustainable use of resources, (3) participation in community processes, and (4) application of ethical principles. The students answered the questions using a four-point Likert scale. The analysis of the answers determined the students’ perception of their own learning related to sustainability competencies. A total of 230 first-year and 96 fourth-year students responded to the questionnaire. The comparison between the first- and fourth-year students’ answers to each question enabled an evaluation of the improvement perceived by the students in their sustainability competencies. We analyzed the results by using the Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis U tests. The results show that the students of the Bachelor Degree in Pedagogy are the only ones who achieve a significant improvement in their sustainability competencies. Bachelor Degree in Social Education and Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Education Teacher students achieve an improvement, but it is not significant. Finally, Bachelor Degree in Primary Education Teacher students do not seem to achieve any improvement. From these data, it appears that the model used to introduce sustainability competencies in the Bachelor Degree in Pedagogy is the only one that achieves good results.

‘Cooperate to win’: the influence of the Chilean student movement on the 2012 Budget Law

ABSTRACT In 2011, one of the most important social movements since the end of the dictatorship proposed a change in higher education in Chile. More than two hundred thousand people participated in public demonstrations. Facing the failure of the negotiations with the government, the student movement focused on proposing changes to the 2012 Budget Law. What coalitions did the leaders of this student movement form to influence the Budget Law? The aim of this paper was to analyse the factors that explain coalition formation to impact the 2012 Budget Law. In doing so, an analysis has been carried out, focusing on the leaders of the student movement (CONFECH). This paper emphasizes their coalition with the rectors of public universities and their relationship with other educational actors and the opposition parties. The analysis includes the review of documents and national newspapers and interviews with the leaders of the CONFECH. The results of the analysis show that the traditional factors explaining coalition formation are useful but not sufficient to explain the student movement alliances. This paper argues that the factor that explains the student movement coalitions is the ‘strategic sense’ that the movement is focused on an outcome-based strategy. The leaders consider a coalition with the rectors of public universities as outcome-tactics. However, the relationship with opposition parties was much more difficult because of their distrust resulting from what happened in 2006. This study thus has significant implications for the coalition formation theories and its relationship with social movements’ impact.

Acoustics in Historical Buildings; Case of Gazi University Rectorate Building Mimar Kemaleddin Hall

It presents the difficulty of renovation and updating in accordance with the original for the restoration of historical buildings, the preservation of historical buildings and their transfer to the future. Along with many disciplines, the acoustic field often finds itself at the center of this challenge, and they encounter traditional solutions that must meet contemporary acoustic requirements. In multi-purpose halls serving different functions such as conferences and concerts; acoustic conditions that are contradicting and very different from each other must be provided in the same volume. Although the location and angle of the panels are important to reduce the reverberation time and improve the acoustic characteristics, maintain aesthetics and follow historical preservation instructions, it is important to evaluate the physical properties of the hall. The ODEON (v 15.14) Simulation Program analyzes and evaluations related to the acoustic design developed in this context were evaluated separately for each function.

Opening remark of rector of IPB University

A Satria1* 1 Rector of IPB University, Jl. Raya Dramaga, Kampus IPB Dramaga Bogor, 16680 West Java, Indonesia *Email: arifsatria@apps.ipb.ac.idWelcome to Bogor IndonesiaWelcome to IPB UniversityIt is my great pleasure and honour to great you all at the Opening Ceremony of Southeast Asia Plant Protection Conference (SEAPPRO) organized by Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture IPB University, in colaboration with The International Society for Southeast Asian Agricultural Sciences (ISSAAS) chapter of Indonesia and Universiti Putra Malaysia.Currently we are facing the era of industrial revolution 4.0. This stage has started in the beginning of the 21th century, characterized by the development of artificial intelligence (AI), robotic development, information technology and management system, bio-technology, big data and Internet of Things (IoT). These developments resulted in disruptions of industries in many countries, while promising transformations in production and governance systems. The existence of 4.0 technology is expected to improve on-farm and off-farm activities and management as well as to solve problems on many social and economic aspects in agricultural practices.Plants provide 80% of global calorie human intake, but it is continuously affected and threatened by pests and diseases. According to FAO, approximately one-third of global crop production is lost every year to plant pest and diseases. Beside causing yield losses, pest and diseases cause farmers worldwide spending USD 81.13 billion for pesticides as well as receiving its negative impacts to environment. In the last decades increasing records of emerging and transboundary pests spread to a number of countries and can reach epidemic proportions in which control and management require international or regional collaboration among countries.

Istanbul Üniversitesi Rektörlüğü Merkez Binası Avize ve Apliklerinin Restorasyon Öncesi Belgeleme Çalışmaları ve Onarım Önerileri

This study focuses on the documentation and repair of the chandeliers and wall lights that were dismounted and protected in closed storage areas at the garden of University Rectorate during the restoration work of the Rectorate Central Building. The investigation to determine the required processes for the repair of these light fixtures was conducted by the Department of Conservation and Restoration of Artefacts, Faculty of Letters, Istanbul University. In the initial part of the study, 564 pieces of light fixtures were separately documented and reported, detailing the types, number, nature and value as historical artifacts, possible damages, repair and mounting of the stored light fixtures. Additionally, in order to facilitate the mounting-related works, the locations of these fixtures were marked on the building’s floor plan, and their inventory numbers were recorded. Following the works that were carried out between April 29, 2015 and May 27, 2015, 161 boxes in which light fixtures had been packed were delivered to the related department. These historical artifacts were hung in their original places after they had been repaired. The required controls were conducted under the supervision of our Department and Rectorate staff. This study provides a summary of this comprehensive work.

University Rectors’ Administrative Skills

University Rectors’ Administrative Skills

Martin Heidegger: Force, Violence and the Administration of Thinking

In 1929, Martin Heidegger announced a new fundamental term in his thinking: Wal- ten. Heidegger uses Walten to designate the primal ontological force of nature, but also brings it into connection with administration (Verwalten), specifically linking it to university administration. The article argues that in the Black Notebooks Heidegger develops a philosophical conception of administrative practice in the midst of his own administrative practice as university Rector in the era of Gleichschaltung.

Trajectories of Rectors in Public Higher Education Institutions of Kazakhstan in the Context of the New Election Process

In this article, we are going to present the results of the study on trajectories of rectors in public higher education institutions under Ministry of education and Science of Kazakhstan. The authors use the method of analyzing secondary data from open sources. Twenty-four profiles of rectors of public higher education institutions of Kazakhstan who were elected according to the new election procedures have been analyzed. To determine the career trajectory, the authors analyzed age, gender, place of birth, work experience (positions held), general work experience, including as a rector, work experience as a civil servant, education of rectors. In particular cases results of 2018 also have been compared to the average indicators of the same criteria of rectors of public universities of Kazakhstan who worked before the new election process have been implemented in 2016. If, previously, the full responsibility for the decision on the candidacy of a new rector of the public university was assigned to the Republican Commission under the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Since 2016, the Universities’ Boards of Overseers plays more important role. Thus, the analysis of the characteristics of 24 profiles of rectors showed that there are common similar characteristics, which were grouped in four main career paths: insider, “external” –academic, “external” –administrator, “external” –– politician. Key words: career trajectories, rectors’ election process, autonomy, higher education institution management, Kazakhstan.

Russian University Policies on Students` Academic Dishonesty: Punishment or Ethical Training

Students’ dishonest behavior is one of the most significant problems of higher education all over the world. Therefore, researchers and university administrators attempt to develop corresponding prevention measures. The measures can be aimed at either punishing students or engaging them in ethically sustainable academic practices, the second type becoming more and more popular in universities abroad. In this paper, discourse analysis is used to explore university policies and public statements of the rectors of Russian universities participating in the 5–100 project. The analysis helps to understand what kinds of discourses, argumentation and ways of their linguistic representation are used by Russian universities to represent their position towards students’ academic dishonesty and to influence students’ behavior. This paper might be of use for university administrators and managers, as well as for those who professionally investigate students’ academic dishonesty, to analyze and reform strategies for students’ dishonesty prevention.

UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT: RECTOR’S POSITION (CONCEPTUAL NOTES)

The key actor in any university management system is the rector; his/her priorities and goals to a large extent determine the prospects of the university. This conceptual article deals with the following issues: what a position in activity is; what a rector’s position is, why it should be the subject of the analysis; what rector’s positions can be; how a rector’s position can be formed. The authors put forward the concept of «rector’s position», based on philosophical ideas about the position as a form of human subjectivity. As a basis for a typological analysis of rectors’ positions, a scheme «Position space» is proposed, wherein three poles are distinguished: «Norm», «Business», «Idea». The «ultimate» rectors’ positions corresponding to these poles are analyzed including the features of the ontological framework, priorities and goals, «operation spaces» and management tools used. It is shown that the designated space contains a whole range of rectors’ positions, as implemented through different management styles. The following rector’s positions are characterized: «Functionary», «Leader», «Investor», «Manager», «Entrepreneur». The formation of the rector’s position as an important part of his professional development is discussed. The proposed typology of positions is based on the experience of the authors as participants in developing programs and flagship projects of universities, on the experience of professional communication with more than 30 rectors of Russian universities. The article is original and new, as it puts forward the concepts of «a rector’s position» and «rector’s positions space». These concepts and the typology of the distinguished positions can be used as a tool for analyzing the rectors’ activity positions, for comprehending the imperatives and limitations inherent in these positions. The position scheme and the «operation space» scheme can serve as guidelines for analysing and assessing the completeness (or partiality) of the university leader’s position. These schemes can be also used in management consulting and as an element of educational programs for university rectors and management teams.
