Opening Minds for a Career with Impact

This article provides an overview of the Global Leadership course, a 6-credit course integrated within the curriculum of all advanced master programs of Antwerp Management School and designed to align with the school’s overarching mission. The course challenges and facilitates students in developing their leadership as a basis for making career choices, explicitly framing it within a global perspective and focusing on sustainability. The course is built on the belief that career development should not occur in isolation. Rather, it should be interwoven within the societal context in which careers unfold, bringing opportunities and challenges. Concretely, students work in diverse cross-program groups on an Action Learning Project addressing one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Further, students follow a track within their program focused on personal development, culminating in the submission of a Personal Development Paper in which they integrate all course experiences as a basis for developing a vision of their career. Through this holistic approach, students develop career competencies beyond considering the “why, what, and how” of work but are stimulated to consider the broader societal context.

Gathering insights into volcanic risk from Auckland to the Andes, Antilles, and Arabia: an unexpected journey to professorship in volcanology

In 2020 I was promoted to Professor at Waipapa Taumata Rau the University of Auckland (UoA), joining the small circle of women (now three, the others being Kathleen Campbell and Philippa Black, also from UoA) who had achieved promotion to Professor in Geology in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the first ever in the field of volcanology. This promotion was a gratifying and somewhat unexpected achievement for me considering that I had started out studying languages and linguistics! In this contribution, which is based on my “inaugural” lecture as Professor in 2021, I provide an overview of my journey, framed primarily through the work of my doctoral students. I pay particular focus on the Andes where I worked on large silicic caldera systems, the Lesser Antilles, characterised by andesite and dacitic dome complexes and stratovolcanoes, and the distributed basaltic volcanism in Auckland and Saudia Arabia. I share some insights gained along the way and describe how these have influenced a shift in my research from more fundamental petrology to more applied volcanology over the course of my career.

The technological imprinting of educational experiences on student startups

The literature suggests that the startups of de novo entrepreneurs are disadvantaged, but many of the world's leading firms have been founded by students and recent graduates. We hypothesize that academic and industry-based educational experiences shape the innovative activity of student startups and use patent data to measure technological proximity between the patent portfolios of influencers and startups. We find that indirect exposure to the research and development activities of the students' university departments and work term employers results in technological imprinting. Influencer and entrepreneur capabilities affect the magnitude of the imprinting effect: student ventures are technologically more proximate to highly ranked university departments and to more innovative work term employers, and the students' software skills impact their ability to invent in proximity to their work term employer. We also find that multiple layers of imprints are complements, not substitutes. Exposure to inventive activities, even when indirect and brief, results in multiple capabilities-moderated layers of imprints.

The Double Contradiction - Education Gospel and Education Penalty

The wishful thinking of education-jobs-development promise has formed within the emergence of the trinity of the knowledge economy, meritocracy and human capital theory embedded in education ideology. The take-for-granted promise is idealized and deceptive, which largely ignores the interplay of other variables. The education arms race, credential inflation, overeducation, the dilemma of liberal arts and humanity subjects, and education penalties for employees, especially student workers, have exposed another side of the seemingly promising trinity. In this sense, the absolute goodness of education has gradually tilted toward relative or positional goodness, suggesting an alienated structure which simultaneously constrains individuals. Focusing on the paradoxes of the trinity specifically, allows people to not only scrutinize the overall picture and interconnection of those educational settings but also how education shapes and reshapes different stakeholders. This essay expounded the traps of the trinity, indicating meritocracy reproduces inequality and its premise on ability-based placement is also flawed. Heavily human-capital-based-idealogy alienates education. People with knowledge do not necessarily gain high-income jobs. The paper suggests a reconnection and review on education purposes for education stakeholders and the construction of a working environment legal protective framework to embrace the increasing student workforce.

The film comedies of Leonid Gaidai: student works and the formation of a style

ABSTRACT This article studies the early stage of the career of the well-known Soviet and Russian comedy filmmaker Leonid Gaidai, notably the training period at the All-Union Institute of Cinema (VGIK), on the basis of hitherto unknown archival sources. During these student years, many important stylistic lines of Gaidai’s comedy films were established: his interest in the synthesis of satire, sharp social criticism, trick comedy and eccentricity that would become well known to audiences. Firstly, new archival materials include the theoretical parts of the diploma works from the cinematographers’ faculty of Vladimir Boganov and Vadim Yusov at VGIK (hitherto unknown), and the film Darlings-Friends. Secondly, the short film and Gaidai’s coursework Darlings-Friends (1954), discovered by the film historian Sergei Kapterev at VGIK’s film library. Thirdly, the theoretical part of Gaidai’s dissertation (hitherto not known to researchers), who worked as probationer-assistant director and actor on the musical comedy Lyana by Boris Barnet. In this text, Gaidai for the first time formulates a number of principles for the creation of a comedy film and determines some important lines of his style.

Leading with a Diversity Mindset and the Challenges of Teaching Others to Do So as Well

ABSTRACT This paper is an exploration of the pedagogic challenges experienced in teaching emerging Jewish educational leaders about how to lead with a diversity mindset and create inclusive spaces for teaching and learning. Employing elements of self-study and phenomenology, we identify felt difficulties, examining how those were evident in our planning and teaching of the course and in student work. From those challenges we name lessons to be learned and questions for further study about the professional development of Jewish educational leaders who are responsible for creating cultures of belonging in their institutions.

School Literacy Program Against Merdeka Thinking to Strengthen The Humanistic Learning Process at The Elementary School Level

This research aims to 1) Eliminate the uniform clothing system for students, 2) Implement a humanist learning system. The method used is literature review with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation and analysis of analyzed notes. The data taken are documents related to research. The research results show that learning is prioritized using a humanistic approach, but in reality there are still many learning processes that do not implement humanistic learning as a whole. For example, uniformity in clothing for students will ultimately kill students' potential, talents, interests, creativity and work results. The recommendation of this research is that a bottom-up curriculum model is worthy of being developed, so that educational components can strive for the overall curriculum components. However, an educator is a planner, implementer and perfectionist in a learning process. Because educators are the ones who best understand the conditions in the field from Sabang to Merauke, therefore educators are the most competent in compiling a curriculum in the classroom or at school. So the researchers recommend that the school literacy program "independent thinking about local wisdom" be implemented at the elementary school education unit level.

Engaging with materials and the body: young plurilingual children’s resource-rich interactions in science investigations

ABSTRACT Background Children’s interactions are inherently multimodal. Accordingly, when children engage in science in classroom communities, their interactions are grounded in material and embodied aspects of interactions with teachers and their peers. Purpose This study explores the nature of children’s science interactions in a classroom community where students are working in a language they are also learning through examination of the ways in which open-ended pedagogical approaches mediated embodied and material science participation and sense-making. Study and method We employed multimodal interaction analysis layered with a critical ethnographic perspective to explore the embodied and materially-grounded experiences of a student working in an early-childhood classroom with peers and teachers in science through a language he is also working to learn. Results Multimodal interaction analysis allowed us to build views of how the classroom interactional spaces afforded embodied and material participation and learning in science, and uncovered the multimodal ways in which this mediated his engagement in science and communication of science meanings and wonderings. Conclusions Open-ended pedagogical approaches afforded spaces in which this student was able to engage with phenomena, materials, and embodied interactions, regardless of his verbal participation. This embodied participation and materially grounded interactions entangle and unfold to become learning. Pedagogical implications for the teaching and learning of science with all children, and in particular with plurilingual children, through the use of open-approaches that afford resource-rich embodied engagement and learning are discussed.

Optimization and Integration of Student Work Management Mechanism in Colleges and Universities Based on Deep Neural Networks

Abstract Under the new situation, student management work in colleges and universities must keep pace with the development of information technology, take the initiative to comply with the laws of the new era, innovate work concepts, revolutionize work methods, and make full use of the new era technology to improve the level of management services. After integrating and optimizing the management mechanism of student work in colleges and universities, the study establishes a deep neural network-based student management work effect assessment model in colleges and universities using cluster analysis and convolutional neural network and takes 20 colleges and universities in city A as examples to conduct empirical analysis. The results show that the fit of the CNN neural network model is relatively good, and the total R value is 0.99634, R 2 = 0.98324, R 2 is greater than 0.75. The student work management mechanism has been optimized and integrated by 13 colleges and universities, and their scores are all above 80 points. Among them, there are 5 colleges and universities whose evaluation results exceed 90 points. The construction of their student management cadres, the construction of student self-government capacity, the construction of school spirit and academic style, the work of campus security and stability, and the campus cultural activities have achieved better optimization results.

An empirical study on the assessment of college students’ student work based on group decision-making model in colleges and universities

Abstract The assessment of college and university counselors and student management team has been one of the important issues that colleges and universities are concerned about. This paper applies the group decision-making model to the assessment of college counselors’ student work, and establishes the group decision-making model of college counselors’ assessment work according to the actual work of counselors. Attitude consensus threshold is set, and ACT is combined with individual feedback parameters to realize the balance between individual minimum correction and group consistency. And the method of mutual evaluation and scoring by five appraisal subjects is used to construct Markov matrix, and then the limit distribution of the matrix is found through linear weighting. Finally, the appraisal of 105 counselors was empirically analyzed, and the group decision-making model was used to give practical significance to the five appraisal items, namely, sense of efficacy, dedication, leadership, innovativeness, and executive power, one by one. The results show that for the 205 college counselors tested in the appraisal, the mean value of the student management work ability index is 30.55, and the maximum value is 90.95, and the results of this appraisal pass the test and have practical reference significance.

Attitudes Towards New Career Approaches among Working Students: A Comparative Analysis with Non-Student Employees

This research sought to explore the new career approaches of employed students. A comparative analysis was conducted with nonstudent employees to comprehensively grasp the novel career attitudes of working students. The neoliberal era has profoundly reshaped various disciplines, including economics, human resource management, and employment structures. Among these changes, career management has undergone a significant transformation. Conventional organisational careers have been supplanted by new approaches such as boundaryless, protean, subjective career success and kaleidoscope careers. These emerging career paradigms align with the emergence of novel forms of employment. Moreover, in an increasingly liberalised world, the rising costs of education and the growing prevalence of paid education are prompting students to enter the workforce while continuing their studies. The proliferation of companies offering part-time employment, such as private employment agencies, corresponds to an increase in students seeking part-time work. In other words, supply and demand within the part-time labour market intersect more robustly. Furthermore, working students gain valuable experience while employed, shaping the future supply of the labour market. Our research aims to assess the suitability of new career approaches for future workers and contributes to unravelling their complexities. The study also investigates whether employees are students and whether this affects their career approaches. To analyse this research, boundaryless career attitude and professional career attitude scales were utilised as assessment tools. These new career approaches represent innovation in careers. The research dataset comprised responses from 521 working students and 374 nonstudent employees, all of whom were actively employed in Istanbul, the most populous city in Turkey and home to many universities. The data analysis employed a quantitative research methodology using descriptive statistics, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and independent t tests. The findings revealed that working students exhibited significantly greater boundaryless career orientation, organisational mobility, boundaryless mindset, and value-driven career attitudes than did their nonstudent counterparts. The outcomes of this study will make a valuable contribution to the existing body of literature concerning employed students. Furthermore, the findings are anticipated to provide valuable insights into formulating and implementing human resources policies within organisations that engage in student employment practices. By shedding light on the experiences, challenges, and potential areas for improvement in this context, this research aims to inform and enhance the effectiveness of human resource strategies tailored toward working students.

ORGANIZATION OF SCIENTIFIC AND PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH, ITS CONTENT AND METHODOLOGY

This article explores pedagogical control on the problem of organizing scientific and pedagogical research-ways to conduct mass and partial control with the study of cognitive methods for a long and planned study of a particular phenomenon. The method of mass control is carried out in the classroom through the cognitive activity of students, students' attention, the activities of children. The method of partial control is the work of some students with books, maps, and behavior control. The information was supplemented having an analysis associated with the information acquired through the special plan which clearly outlined the main and indirect issues, as well as discussions and interviews. To determine pedagogical phenomena, conversations with teachers, homeroom teachers, school leaders, parents and personal characteristics of people were taken into account. Written, observational and graphic works of students, drawings, notebooks, reports and papers written on various topics, as well as products completed by them in working classes, equip the researcher with the necessary information. Independent abilities of students, their attitude to study and work, their practical training, the actions of teachers can be determined. Effective ways of combining the independent work of students with mass and independent work and the use of such didactic tasks are in the investigation process. Phenomena occurring in society are characterized by stochastic, probabilistic connections, therefore pedagogical processes also relate to social and social phenomena. The study of these random, stochastic phenomena and finding a functional relationship of causal phenomena is the purpose of the article. Only by solving this problem can scientific innovation be achieved. The science news should have statistics.

Perceptions of Code Switching in a Multilingual Language Classroom in Morocco

In this work students’ perceptions for code switching during group work in a multilingual classroom in Morocco are analyzed. This study is inspired by real time classroom experience. It reports on qualitative and quantitative data collected through an online survey, involving 50 participants. 80% of the respondents are multilingual in English, Arabic, Darija, and French, while 20% are monolingual in English. Casual observation of group discussions revealed that code switching occurred often during group discussion. This study confirms that 70% of students in this study switch codes during group discussions. Among students who do not understand the lingua franca, 79% feel left out and unheard during group discussions, when code switching occurs. Respondents mention the functions of code switching, which are; to fill in communication gaps that result from deficiency in English and to mitigate difficulties of explaining unfamiliar content, concepts, and ideas. Finally, this study finds that technology helps to close communication gaps in multilingual group tasks. The most frequently used technology tools in this study are Power Point, at 47%, and Word at 23%. Language translation tools are also mentioned as important.

Research on the Development of Student Work in Colleges and Universities Suitable for the Characteristics of Contemporary Students in the New Media Era

Abstract The traditional paradigms and methods of student management no longer suffice to meet the evolving needs of students in the era of new media. Hence, it is imperative for higher education institutions to continually seek innovative approaches to student work management. To this end, a structured questionnaire was developed to investigate the adoption and impact of new media on student work management in colleges and universities. This survey was designed to align with the distinctive attributes of contemporary students and to explore novel pathways for student work in the context of the new media landscape. To further understand the factors influencing the quality of student work management services, a subset of students was selected for a detailed questionnaire survey. The data collected was subjected to causality analysis and multiple linear regression to assess the satisfaction levels concerning the evolution of student work management in the new media milieu. The findings revealed that the most frequently accessed media platforms among the sampled institutions were WeChat official accounts, with a usage rate of 76.01%, and university official websites, at 40.09%. Additionally, more than 80% of the students exhibited a preference for new media platforms over traditional media. Statistical analysis at the 1% significance level confirmed the impactful roles of respect and care, campus environment, and school management in influencing student job satisfaction. Notably, school management emerged as the most influential factor, with a standardized coefficient of 0.329, underscoring its paramount importance in enhancing student job satisfaction. This study provides valuable insights and serves as a foundational reference for the enhancement of student work management strategies in the digital age.

Museum education of history students at the Udmurt State University

The article considers the museum education of students (on the example of educational, museum practice) at the university, which is an integral part of the general culture of modern youth and is based on the experience of communication with museums in the family and school. Educational museum practice at the Institute of History and Sociology of the Udmurt State University of Izhevsk (direction of training 46.03.01 “History”, bachelors) has a purpose and objectives, stages, program and base of conduct. The results of the students’ museum practice in the field of formation of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, development of professional competencies are presented. The experience of conducting is summarized and certain problems are identified both in the organization of educational practice by the university (per diem and the amount for accommodation in practice, the choice of a museum as a place of practice, mutually beneficial cooperation “university to museum”, “museum to university”), and in the implementation of students’ activities in various departments of museums. The idea is expressed about the prospects of the work of students-historians during the internship at the museum, not only as museum employees, but also as volunteers (guides, fund workers, researchers, etc.) in the organization of events held by the institution. Volunteering helps students to better understand the content of the work of a particular museum, have a clearer idea of modern professions in the museum, immerse themselves in the museum space. The work of students in the field of project activities on the subject of the department, the formation of a student’s personal interest in the course work or tasks of the basic museum is relevant in educational practice.

ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ БЛАГОПРИЯТНОГО ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО КЛИМАТА НА ЗАНЯТИЯХ ПО ИНОСТРАННОМУ ЯЗЫКУ В ЯЗЫКОВОМ ВУЗЕ

The article is devoted to description of the most significant components of a favorable psychological climate in a foreign language class at the linguistic university. These components were identified on the basis of a survey carried out among students. The authors consider modern approaches to the notion “psychological climate”, analyze its compositional structure and factors, which determine it. The paper puts a special emphasis on the idea that a favorable climate plays a crucial role for mastering a foreign language, as emotional disposition of the participants of the educational process determines considerably the work of students in a foreign language class, demotivating, or on the contrary, motivating them for an initiative participation in a classroom conversation, which is an obligatory condition of mastering a foreign language. The foreign language as an academic subject has its obvious specificity and it enables the authors to suppose that it is possible to single out the components of the psychological climate which are perceived by students as the most essential for a foreign language class. The article presents the results of the survey among senior students, specializing in learning foreign languages. Thanks to this survey the mentioned above components have been identified. They are the following: 1) personality of the teacher; 2) the style of the pedagogical activity;3) the forms how the work is organized in class; 4) the range of tasks offered to students;5) the ways the mistakes are corrected. The interpretation of the obtained results makes it possible to make a concussion that psychological climate in a foreign language class has a manageable character, as the teacher can influence its key components which seem to be the most significant for students. All these constituents to this or that degree are connected with communication. All they promote transformation of a rather regulated formalized classroom conversation into a livelier personal communication, making it more similar to natural interpersonal communication.

Analysis of the Role and Influencing Factors of Strengthening Mental Health Education in Student Management

Abstract This paper introduces mental health education into student management, utilizes ID3 algorithm of data mining technology to realize the classification of student information data, and designs the security algorithm of data storage based on C/S structure to complete the security calculation of mental health assessment. Combining the actual measurement results of students’ mental health development, a proposal is made to strengthen mental health education in student management. Taking the development of mental health education as the central perspective, exploring the specific influencing factors of the development of the level and quality of student management information technology construction, the Analysis shows that there is a significant difference between the 22-year-old students and the 18-19-year-old students in terms of information technology application ability. There is also a substantial difference in the quality of students’ participation in student management work with different levels of mental health, and the quality level of management work participated by students with good mental health status is 137.48±7.56, which is more capable of dealing with student management work than student workers with poor mental health status.

In student management work, the realization of the ultimate need for the development of higher professional talents is a manifestation of student management work that keeps pace with the times, and has important practical and theoretical significance. This article is guided by the scientific concept of development and the analysis that the consultants of an educational institution, as the main force guiding the healthy growth of students, should develop development concepts in order to increase the relevance of their work, meet the needs of student development, improve the efficiency of their work and build a large educational system.

Work on an orchestral work as a means of conducting training of an instrumental student

The article is devoted to the actual problem of orchestral-conducting training of instrumental students at the university. The author summarizes the scientific-methodical and own practical experience of the conductor's work on orchestral works of various genres and artistic epochs. The specifics of professional training of students-instrumentalists at the university and the importance of the disciplines of the orchestral-conducting cycle are characterized. The principles of their teaching (gradual and sequence, systematic and accessible, pedagogical expediency and artistic value, collegiality and interest in the results of joint musical-creative activity) are defined. The peculiarities of working with educational orchestras consisting of students with different levels of pre-university instrumental-performing training are revealed. The basic types of a student's work on an orchestral work in the class in orchestral-conducting disciplines: work with a score, analysis of the work by ear, manual technique, creative communication with an orchestral group using special terminology, etc. The work on an orchestral work is defined as a complex process that integrates the student's creative potential and natural musical abilities, his instrumental and musical-theoretical knowledge, musical-performance and emotional spheres, individual and collective. Attention is focused on the role of the teacher of orchestral conducting in the formation of professional skills of the student in the process of working on an orchestral work. Conductor's analysis of symphonic and operatic works studied by instrumental students. The peculiarities of students' educational activity in the class of orchestral conducting in the conditions of distance learning are revealed. The results of the study are summarized and conclusions are formulated: practical study of an orchestral work in a conducting class contributes to the formation of analytical-ear skills, conducting-performing skills, creative imagination, stage culture and professional experience in an instrumental student.

Secondary school students' dropout risk: A study of mixed methods

The aim of this study is to determine the dropout risk levels of secondary school students and to contribute to the literature by making suggestions to researchers according to the results obtained. For this reason, the research was carried out using the mixed method. For this purpose, the School Dropout Risk Scale was prepared by quantitative methods, and the sample was determined by simple random sampling method. In the qualitative method, a semi-structured interview form was prepared and the sample was determined with maximum diversity sampling. In quantitative data analysis; gender, class repetition, absenteeism status, t-test for the student's work status variable and Anova were used for the school achievement variable. According to the results of the research, it has been determined that the risk levels of secondary school students leaving school are at an intermediate level across the scale and in the lower dimensions of the scale. It was found that all the variables included in the study caused a change in the risk of dropping out of school. According to the students' opinions, peer bullying, low socioeconomic status of the family, lack of interest in school, family pressure for the student to drop out of school, the administration giving unfounded punishments to students, insufficient school resources lead to reasons for dropping out.
