Authors: Napitupulu Herta , Sudibjo Niko , Sinaga Poltak , Antonio Ferdi
Published: June 2024

The study aims to investigate the effect of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on academic research performance mediated by behavioral-focused, natural reward, and constructive thought strategies. Based on Social Cognitive Theory, extrinsic and intrinsic motivation enable individuals to develop effective strategies that, in turn, will increase their work performance. The research was conducted using a quantitative survey (N = 216) of lecturers from leading universities in Indonesia. Data was collected through an online survey using a validated questionnaire from previous literature. Data analysis was conducted using PLS-SEM. The study's findings reveal that behavioral-focused strategy mediates the relationship between Academic Extrinsic Motivation and Academic Intrinsic Motivation on Academic Research Performance. However, the natural reward and constructive thought strategies do not mediate the relationship. These results contribute to the existing literature on self-leadership, emphasizing the influence of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation through behavioral-focused strategy. The findings have implications for higher education management.
Minoritization Of Religious Education and Its Efforts To Fulfill The Basic Rights Of Confucian Religious Education Among Ethnic Chinese Students In Schools
Authors: . Sujadmi , Wisadirana Darsono , Hakim Muhamad Lukman , . Ibrahim
Published: June 2024

Religious education is one of the mandatory subjects held in educational institutions from elementary school to university level. The Confucian religion is one of the religions recognized in the Constitution. This research explores and describes the practice of minoritization in spaces of harmony in religious life, especially in educational institutions, as an alternative effort to find steps to fulfil the basic rights of religious education for minority students with minority religions. The practice of domination that occurs is a social reality that cannot be avoided. Bourdieu revealed that in an institution there are rules which contain elements of symbolic violence. The research used a qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design. Data was obtained from interviews, observation and documentation. Data analysis was carried out by referring to what Beckker put forward: data collection, condensation, data display, and concluding. The results of the research show that in primary school educational institutions, there is a practice of minoritization of students of ethnic Chinese descent who are Confucian. These practices include the unavailability of Confucian religious education teachers, the homogenization of the religious education lesson curriculum, and the direction of Confucian religious students to take classes and final exams in Islamic religious studies. This policy (in Bourdieu's view) reflects symbolic violence against educational agents which is very subtle without causing resistance. Alternative efforts to fulfill the basic rights of religious education in schools are carried out by empowering local religious institutions, merging religious education classes between schools, and recruiting religious education teachers.

Authors: ababaf zohre
Published: June 2024

The study and reflection on the individual capabilities of teacher educators are of special importance due to the role that educators play in education of the students, producing knowledge, and contributing to social development and transformation. This subject was explored from the perspective of experienced teacher educators in the field of teacher training, based on a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach. Participants in this research were purposefully selected based on three criteria: teaching experience in teacher education, professorial rank for Canadian educators, and two decades of teaching experience for educators at Farhangian University, considering the diversity of groups. A total of 18 educators from Iran and Canada were selected. Data collection was based on individual and semi-structured interviews using open-ended questions. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed based on analytical induction. Seven areas of individual capability were inferred from the data analysis. The areas of motivation and professional commitment, strategic nature, and personal characteristics were emphasized more than other capabilities by both groups of participants, covering a wide range of individual capabilities. Strategic action, motivated by professional commitment and relying on personal capacities in interaction with cognitive abilities, introspection, communication, collectivism, and reflective action operates. Comparing the findings of the two groups of educators showed that despite geographical and cultural differences, there are common professional concerns in the field of individual capabilities of teacher educators, but their manifestation is influenced by the cultural context of the work environment. Farhangian University educators focus on professional roles with a duty-oriented approach, while Canadian teacher educators focus on professional identity with a problem-finding and independent approach. The findings of this research can be considered in designing curriculum of educator education and in developing indicators for promoting educators.

Housing co-operatives in Germany: 160 years of evolution and resilience
Authors: Pfatteicher Peter Alexander Carl , McCarthy Olive , Power Carol
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the evolution and resilience of housing co-operatives in Germany from their beginning 160 years ago to the present against the backdrop of an ever-changing political, economic, social, and cultural environment. We divide the discussion into five parts: 1803-1914 — The Rise of Housing Co-operatives; 1914-1933 — World War I and the Weimar Republic; 1933-1945 — Destruction of Housing Co-operative Values and Principles, and World War II; 1945-October 1990 — A New Beginning. Housing Co-operatives in East and West Germany; and Post-1990 — From Unification to Today’s Challenges. We examine select events and developments and their impact on housing co-operatives. We argue that, despite challenges and threats, especially in times of crisis, housing co-operatives persevered, proving resilient and meeting members’ housing needs, motivated by self-help and supported by established core values and principles. Meeting members’ housing needs makes housing co-operatives especially relevant now, given Germany’s ongoing housing crisis. Lastly, we argue other countries can learn from the experience of German housing co-operatives, and establish and support a co-operative framework that allows housing co-operatives to focus on core values and principles, which are the source of co-operative resilience.

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, significantly burdening healthcare systems. As populations age and lifestyles increasingly adopt unhealthy habits, the incidence of IHD continues to rise, prompting advancements in therapeutic interventions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), IHD is a leading cause of death globally, accounting for millions of deaths each year. The continuous evolution of treatment modalities, from pharmacotherapy to surgical interventions, reflects the ongoing quest to enhance patient outcomes and manage the disease more effectively. Despite advancements, significant disparities exist in IHD treatment across different regions. Developed countries typically have access to advanced medical technologies and resources, offering higher standards of care. In contrast, developing nations often face challenges such as inadequate medical infrastructure and uneven healthcare quality, leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes for IHD patients. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of IHD therapeutic interventions from a global perspective, highlighting significant milestones and comparing treatment practices across various countries. By examining the application and effectiveness of different treatment methods, we seek to identify strengths and weaknesses in IHD management worldwide, offering insights for future improvements in global healthcare strategies.

Authors: Yang Jingwen
Published: June 2024

Cross-border real estate project management is inherently challenging due to its complexity and diversity. This study investigates the efficacy of business information management systems (BIMS) in managing such projects and employs machine learning models for performance prediction analysis. Utilizing data from 250 valid questionnaires and 15 in-depth interviews, multiple regression analysis, classification algorithms, and clustering analysis models were applied. The results indicate that system quality, information quality, and service quality significantly enhance project management efficiency and user satisfaction. Specifically, the adoption of BIMS reduces average project completion time and cost overrun rates, thereby improving management effectiveness. Commercial real estate projects reported the highest average investment at $70 million, mixed-use projects exhibited the longest average completion time of 25 months, and residential real estate projects achieved the highest management efficiency score, averaging 8.0. The regression model's coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.68, the classification model achieved an 85% accuracy in identifying risk factors, and clustering analysis categorized projects into high-efficiency management, risk-concentrated, and resource-intensive types. These findings underscore the substantial value of BIMS in cross-border real estate project management, providing robust management tools and decision support. However, the study's limitations include a small sample size and restricted data sources. Future research should aim to expand the sample size and incorporate more diverse data sources to enhance the findings' generalizability and accuracy.
