Creative Writing in Foreign Language Learning: Systemic Literature Review

Creative competence as one of the transformative competencies in the future education framework 2030 must begin to be realized in foreign language learning, including writing skills. This study aims to map the position of creative writing in existing studies. The method used for tracing is NVivo as a coding tool. The 78 articles found are then selected by inclusion and exclusion categories to produce 25 articles for further coding. The results of the coding are then read and studied with four perspectives, namely the language that is the object of study, the problems for achieving creative competence, the solutions offered and the benefits that can be obtained to overcome emerging foreign language learning problems. The findings from this SLR indicate that the language which is the most dominant object of study is English. Linguistic problems in the context of discourse and demotivating non-linguistics are the dominant problems, while the solutions offered are mostly focused on creative writing strategies. The benefits obtained are the improvement of writing skills, language skills, motivation, and self-quality of foreign language learners. The research gap that can be mapped from the findings above is that attention to foreign languages other than English in creative writing research and discourse-based learning must be increased.

The Academic Curriculum in Higher Education. Transformative Competencies' Relevance for the Labour Market

The paper presents a theoretical analysis of the academic curriculum's relevance for the labour market and life, especially about the recognition of learning outcomes. The purpose of this approach is to discover if there is strong consent and a common interest both at the national and international levels related to the relevance of transformative competencies developed through the academic curriculum. Concerns about the key competencies have led to reflection on the importance of being aware of knowledge created by Higher Education (HE) institutions. The research questions related to the theoretical approach are as follows: What are the national and international trends regarding the academic curricula in higher education? What are the transformative competencies and what do they entail? What are the ways in which transformative competencies can be included in the national university curriculum? The results of our theoretical approach underline that the set of competences developed in HE institutions must constantly transform into learning outcomes by the trends and needs of the labour market. This type of academic curriculum development anticipates the future dynamics of a society. We conclude that the mission of the HE institutions has to be strongly related to the specifics of globalized economies. Also, it is to develop an academic curriculum orienting itself towards innovation and a competency-based approach. This holistic approach provides policymakers, researchers, administrators and teachers a theoretical framework for practical interventions in HE institutions.

Conceptualising self-reflexive practice as transformational competence: Exploring relationships and relatedness in a fourth industrial revolution technological environment

In the author’s exploration of the literature, little seems to be known regarding the potential value of self-reflexive practice in exploring the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) and its related phenomena. The thesis is presented in narrative format and based on personal experience and insights, supported by a non-systematic review of the literature on self-reflexive practice and the 4IR. This perspective argues that one of the most impactful transformational competences in the context of the 4IR, is arguably what is known as self-reflexive practice (SRP). Through this practice we elucidate our conscious and unconscious assumptions and orientations towards the 4IR and associated phenomena. The aim of this article was to highlight the importance of self-reflexive practice as a critical skill for navigating the complexities and challenges presented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In this article SRP is conceptualised as the critically informed stance of reflexive dialogue with the self, regarding conscious and unconscious realities. It is argued that the value of SRP lies in its capacity to a) foster critical thinking, b) manage paradoxes, dilemmas and complexities that are characteristic of the 4IR, and c) create psychological “containing spaces” for complexity, ambivalence, and ambiguity. Thus, reflexivity as a way of being, could help us reshape and reorient how we relate to the 4IR and enable practitioners to learn from experience (through deep reflection) about themselves, their work and the way they relate.

The study further formulated a policy program that ensured the practice of transformational leadership in the involved institutions. It made use of a quantitative research design. More specifically, the study utilized a descriptive-comparative-correlational research design to gather data and further process, analyze, and interpret these. This research was conducted among three (3) selected universities in Hunan Province of China. The Universities are Hunan International Economic University, Hunan Normal University, and Hunan University. The study was conducted among 186 teachers selected from a population of 357. Several statistical tools such as frequency count and percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA, and Pearson’s Correlation was used for the data analysis. Based on the study findings, the majority of the teachers are between 31-40 years old, mostly males, with mostly 16-20 years of teaching experience, and are mostly post-graduates. In the assessment of the transformational Leadership of the superiors, the evaluation showed that the superiors possess a higher level of individualized consideration, followed by idealized influence, then intellectual stimulation, and inspiration motivation. In the assessment of the difference in transformational leadership based on age, the finding suggests that the mean assessment of all the age groups are similar, indicating a balanced distribution of the respondents based on age in individualized consideration, inspiration motivation, and idealized influence. The assessment on technological competence show that the highest dimension is the technological pedagogical knowledge, followed by technological content knowledge, and the technological knowledge. A significant relationship exists between technological leadership, technological competency, and the performance of the teacher superiors. This relationship entails that a transformational leadership practice among the superiors influences the level of technological competency and the performance of the teachers.

Appraising Education 4.0 in Nigeria’s Higher Education Institutions: A Case Study of Built Environment Programmes

In the era of digitalisation, the construction industry is fast embracing digital technology, which evolved from Industry 4.0 (fourth industrial revolution [4IR]). Built environment programmes (BEPs) are expected to meet the needs of the digitalisation era via Education 4.0. Education 4.0 aims to transform education’s future with diverse digital automation and innovative paedagogical procedures. Studies concerning Education 4.0 in Nigeria’s BEPs are scarce. Hence, this study aims to appraise Education 4.0 and investigate the perceived issues facing implementing Education 4.0 in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), using BEPs as a case study. The findings intend to improve Education 4.0 implementation practices in BEPs. Data were sourced from 40 participants across Nigeria for better coverage and representation via a semi-structured interview approach. The participants were knowledgeable about Education 4.0 and Nigeria’s BEPs. This study adopted a thematic analysis of the virtually collected data and presented the findings in themes. This study shows that Education 4.0 implementation in Nigeria’s BEPs is lax and should be overhauled to improve achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4)—quality education—and other related SDGs. The findings reveal that improved Education 4.0 can enhance the achievement of SDG 4. The findings cluster the perceived 18 hindrances facing Education 4.0 implementation into three main groups. Also, the findings proffer feasible measures to improve Education 4.0 implementation in Nigeria’s HEIs, using BEPs as a case study, via improved transformative competencies, technological advancement, innovative paedagogical procedures, and stakeholders’ collaboration to improve achieving SDG 4. The proposed framework could assist in creating new values and transforming the students’ BEP competencies via stakeholder collaboration and Education 4.0 for the private sector (future talents’ beneficiary), thus fostering their employability.

Pneumococcal competence is a populational health sensor driving multilevel heterogeneity in response to antibiotics

Competence for natural transformation is a central driver of genetic diversity in bacteria. In the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae, competence exhibits a populational character mediated by the stress-induced ComABCDE quorum-sensing (QS) system. Here, we explore how this cell-to-cell communication mechanism proceeds and the functional properties acquired by competent cells grown under lethal stress. We show that populational competence development depends on self-induced cells stochastically emerging in response to stresses, including antibiotics. Competence then propagates through the population from a low threshold density of self-induced cells, defining a biphasic Self-Induction and Propagation (SI&P) QS mechanism. We also reveal that a competent population displays either increased sensitivity or improved tolerance to lethal doses of antibiotics, dependent in the latter case on the competence-induced ComM division inhibitor. Remarkably, these surviving competent cells also display an altered transformation potential. Thus, the unveiled SI&P QS mechanism shapes pneumococcal competence as a health sensor of the clonal population, promoting a bet-hedging strategy that both responds to and drives cells towards heterogeneity.

The Influence of Transformational Leadership, Work Competency, and Work Discipline on Work Productivity with Job Satisfaction as a Mediating Variable on Employees of the Aceh Human Resources Development Agency

This study investigates the correlation between transformational leadership, work competency, discipline, and work productivity at the Aceh Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM Aceh) with job satisfaction as a moderating variable. Questionnaires were sent to 99 BPSDM Aceh workers as the main means of data collection in this research. The data analysis of this research made use of the Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM PLS). The SmartPLS software paradigm is employed to facilitate data processing for research objectives. The result shows that directly, transformational leadership and work competency do not significantly affect job satisfaction, while work discipline significantly affects job satisfaction; transformational leadership, work competency, and work discipline significantly affect work productivity, and; indirectly, transformational leadership and work competency does not significantly affect work productivity through mediation of job satisfaction, while work discipline significantly affects work productivity through mediation of job satisfaction. The results also show that job satisfaction functions as a partial mediation on the impact of work discipline on work productivity.

Analyzing the Digital Transformation Competence of Vietnamese Students Using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)

In Vietnam, digital transformation has been taking place strongly in all fields, especially education. Universities are very interested and focused on promoting digital transformation activities at their facilities. Students are individuals who participateand directly benefit from this process. The question is how competent students are when participating in digital transformation at the institution.

In summary, the research provides support for educational institutions to develop plans for enhancing the digital transformation competency of studentsin general and at Thuongmai University in particular.

Unveiling the regulatory network controlling natural transformation in lactococci.

Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium of major importance for food fermentation and biotechnological applications. The ability to manipulate its genome quickly and easily through competence for DNA transformation would accelerate its general use as a platform for a variety of applications. Natural transformation in this species requires the activation of the master regulator ComX. However, the growth conditions that lead to spontaneous transformation, as well as the regulators that control ComX production, are unknown. Here, we identified the carbon source, nitrogen supply, and pH as key factors controlling competence development in this species. Notably, we showed that these conditions are sensed by three global regulators (i.e., CcpA, CodY, and CovR), which repress comX transcription directly. Furthermore, our systematic inactivation of known signaling systems suggests that classical pheromone-sensing regulators are not involved. Finally, we revealed that the ComX-degrading MecA-ClpCP machinery plays a predominant role based on the identification of a single amino-acid substitution in the adaptor protein MecA of a highly transformable strain. Contrasting with closely-related streptococci, the master competence regulator in L. lactis is regulated both proximally by general sensors and distantly by the Clp degradation machinery. This study not only highlights the diversity of regulatory networks for competence control in Gram-positive bacteria, but it also paves the way for the use of natural transformation as a tool to manipulate this biotechnologically important bacterium.
