Internal Quality Assurance of Institutional Learning Outcomes: United States Case Study and Implications for Vietnam Higher Education
Authors: Pham Nhung Tuyet Thi , Nguyen Binh Thanh Thi
Published: June 2021

Higher education institutions (HEIs) are under pressure to provide evidence of student success. In addition to traditional performance indicators such as GPA, grades, and rates of retention, graduation and employment, stakeholders also required institutions to provide evidence of institutional learning outcomes (ILOs). ILOs encompass the knowledge and skills that all students regardless of disciplines from a specific university are expected to demonstrate upon their graduation. This case study examines a complete internal quality assurance (IQA) cycle from a U.S. comprehensive university, including the adaptation of national authentic assessment measures, the use of technology in data analysis, the best practices to communicate assessment results to multiple internal stakeholders to facilitate leadership decision-making, the challenges encountered, and the improvement plans to sustain the procedure. Researchers also make recommendations to Vietnam HEIs that want to adopt IQA of ILOs for both quality improvement and accountability purposes.

Authors: DİLAVEROĞLU Arzu , ERSİN İrfan
Published: June 2021

Bir ülke ekonomisinin gelişimine katkı sağlayan unsurlardan bir tanesi yönetim ve yargı kurumlarının güçlülüğüdür. Yabancı sermayeye ihtiyaç duyan ülkelerin yabancı yatırımları çekebilmek için ekonomik göstergelerinin iyi olmasının yanında siyasal ve hukuki yapılanmalarının da sağlam olması gerekmektedir. Nitekim demokrasi, hukuk, yönetim gibi değişkenlerin sağlamlığı ekonomide yabancıların güvenini kazanmalarına neden olacaktır. Bu durumun da uzun vadeli doğrudan yabancı yatırımları pozitif etkileyeceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma, kamu yönetim etkinliği ve yolsuzluğun kontrolü ile doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar (DYY) arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Çalışmada kapsam olarak gelişmekte olan ülkeleri temsil eden E7 ülkeleri (Türkiye, Çin, Hindistan, Brezilya, Rusya, Endonezya, Meksika) dikkate alınmış ve 2002-2018 yılları arası veriler Pedroni Eşbütünleşme yöntemi ile ampirik olarak test edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, kamu yönetiminin etkinliği ve yolsuzluğun kontrolü ile DYY arasında uzun dönemli ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Gelişmekte olan ülkeler, DYY için yönetim etkinliğini daha da şeffaflaştırarak ve yolsuzluk kontrollerini daha artırarak yabancı yatırımcılara güven verebilir ve uzun dönemli yabancı yatırımları çekebilir.
A new closed form for Libby-Novick beta class of generalized distributions with applications to Weibull model.
Authors: AHMED Mohamed
Published: June 2021

It is useful to derive new classes of distributions having a simple closed form instead of classes having no closed form to get better flexibility in deriving mathematical properties, generating random numbers and applying real data sets. In this paper, a new closed form class of generalized distributions, so-called the modified Libby-Novick (MLN) class, is derived from the implicit form of Libby-Novick beta class. Two important classes of distributions are nested by the MLN class. Some generalized mathematical properties are derived and the MLN class parameters estimation using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method is obtained. A simulation study using bootstrapping approach is applied to investigate the estimators behavior of the MLN-Weibull (MLN-W) distribution. A real data set is used to illustrate the potentiality of the MLN-W

Bayesçi yaklaşım, klasik istatistik yaklaşımının aksine önsel dağılım bilgisi yardımı ile sonsal dağılımı tahmin eden bir yöntemdir. BANOVA gibi yöntemlerde p-değeri yerine farklı Bayesçi kriterlere göre yokluk hipotezi için karar verilir. BANOVA modelinde sadece genel ortalama terimin mi yer alacağı ya da deneme etkisinin yer aldığı model mi geçerlidir araştırmasında, Bayesçi faktör (BF)’e bakılarak yokluk hipotezi ile seçenek hipotezi karşılaştırılarak hangisi için daha güçlü bir kanıt varsa ona göre karar verilir. BF ile verilen bu karar aşaması deneme etkisinin anlamlı olup olmadığına dair elimizde ne kadar güçlü bir kanıt olup olmadığını ortaya koyan ANOVA’dan daha detaylı bir çıkarsamadır. Bu çalışmada Çevre ve Şehircilik Bakanlığı Ulusal Hava Kalitesi İzleme Sisteminden alınan Ocak-Aralık 2018 dönemine ait Ankara iline ait sekiz istasyondan alınmış PM10, PM2,5 ve SO2 değerlerine göre istasyonlar arası farklılık BANOVA ile analiz edilmiş ve sonuçlar yorumlanmıştır.

The ABCs of Teaching Cross-culturally: University Educators’ Experiences
Authors: Dwyer Sonya Corbin
Published: June 2021

Not all students have the opportunity to study abroad nor to benefit from having international students in their classes, but they can benefit from having an educator who has taught cross-culturally in an international setting. As Schlein and Garii (2011) explain, educators can use international experiences to become “culturally enhanced” and bring these enhancements back to their classrooms—including (potential) shifts in personal and professional identities. This paper describes the benefits, challenges and advice that 11 university educators offer based on their personal experiences. Given the reported lack of orientation activities, these ABCs may be important in helping to prepare educators considering international projects (as the old idiom goes “forewarned is forearmed”). Further, it can help universities design support services for educators going abroad and for visiting educators to foster a positive experience for the educators and students.
Религия, культура и общество в контексте глобалистики
Authors: Сахроков Владимир А.
Published: June 2021

The author focuses on the basic items outlined in his book „Religion, Culture and Society in the Context of Globalization” (Сахроков [Sakhrokov], 2012). A special part characterizes the interrelations of cultures and religions in a non-traditional way through a perspective of the so-called „golden proportion”. The article also dwells on social aspects of cultures and religions such as the social functions of religions and the dynamics of spirituality development in Christianity and Islam on a comparative level, as well as on the socio-natural relations between cultures and religions. Of no least importance, as highlighted in the article, are such crucial issues in the contemporary world as an Islamo-Christian dialogue, theological education and sustainable development.
Internationalisation, Regionalisation and Localisation: Reflections on Co-habitation in ‘the Third Space’ in Tertiary Education
Authors: Shotte Gertrude
Published: June 2021

The main aim of the paper is to explore the likelihood of tertiary education, at the tertiary level educational institutions in the Caribbean, including University of the West Indies (UWI), making educational gains in ‘a third space’ where the principles of internationalisation, regionalisation and localisation cohabit. To strengthen the discussion, the paper identifies and briefly explains the global ‘scapes’ that inspire and sustain intellectual capacity. It next presents an overview of tertiary education in the Caribbean, and it then introduces Henry’s (2012) ‘internationalisation spirit’ and George and Lewis’ (2011) ‘creation of a third space’. Finally it scrutinizes the interconnectedness of the concepts with regard to ‘cohabiting and making educational progress in ‘a third space’’. The paper acknowledges the intricate relationship that exists between internationalisation, regionalisation and localisation; so following the ‘Methodology’ section, it gives some details about how these are conceptualised within given contexts.
The Effects of the LLP Erasmus Mobility Programme on Cultural Biases and Affective Attitudes
Authors: Szaszkó Rita
Published: June 2021

A pilot empirical investigation was carried out to gain insights into what impacts the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) Erasmus student mobility programme had on the participants’ cultural biases, and their affective attitudes towards the target culture, in which the Erasmus study/internship took place. A further aim of this small scale study was to pilot the interview questions for a lager scale qualitative study. The six participants were selected by convenience sampling to complete a 24-open-ended-item interview schedule, which was analysed by protocol analysis. It was found that all of the Erasmus student respondents perceived that they became more open towards the world and other cultures. Next, they experienced false beliefs about the target culture to a minor extent. Furthermore, the students at the host Erasmus partner institution had certain but limited cultural information about Hungary and they mainly know about the capital. Also the participant Erasmus students gathered information about the target country and culture before commencing their studies or traineeship aboard. Finally, all of the respondents perceived that during their Erasmus programme their positive experiences abroad outnumbered the negative ones and they would be willing to return as tourists to their Erasmus target country some day. The data analysis also detected that the interview items can yield information to study Erasmus students’ cultural biases and attitudes. However, an extension of the protocol with further cultural bias related items can be beneficial.
Imperfect Hospitality: A Cosmopolitan Encounter
Authors: McKerracher Adrian
Published: June 2021

As a guest in another country, I witnessed a father discipline his son by striking him across the face at the table where we were seated together. In this article I revisit this scene and the site of my own sense of guilt, asking, “How am I to live ethically in a world of strangers, one in which I am both guest and host to the other?” My paper is a self-reflective scrutiny of my failure to acknowledge my own status as an ethical host, one who need not have insisted on prescriptive action, but one who failed his responsibility to not only acknowledge those who face him but also to raise his head and be faced. Through a confessional narrative I examine interpersonal, intrapersonal, and intercultural conflict as an opportunity for cosmopolitan growth. I conclude by resituating ethical difference as an invitation to a curriculum based on conversation.

Die Relevanz einer reflexiven beruflichen Weiterbildung für die wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Entfaltung der Russischen Föderation
Authors: Fischer Evelyn , Girmes Renate
Published: June 2021

The following discussion focuses on dispositions connected with capitalism and socialism that have characterized Russian societal structures for decades. It points to the construction of both the economic and social system in Russia as predominantly achieved through repressive forms of ruling. Within the population this generated a disposition of extremely low trust in the system, based on the creation of networks through security measures. Since the category of trust is an important basis for anonymous trade and its legal framing in a functional market economy, the article argues that a fundamental difficulty exists for the economic progression of the Russian Federation. The paper lays out why and how professional development can support individuals to become competent and self-directed players, and how this could have a positive effect on the construction of an economically viable civil society in Russia. A reflective-transformative concept of professional development could be conceived and realized as a contribution to overall social development.
Economic Models of Higher Education: An International Perspective
Authors: Ruffini Pierre-Bruno
Published: June 2021

As other sectors, higher education can be characterized by the combination of market mechanisms and state intervention in its funding and organization. Although higher education systems of developed countries pursue similar goals (provide high-level manpower, meet individual and social demands, etc.) and face similar challenges (massive expansion, internationalization, MOOCs, etc.) their economic models differ significantly. In some countries, universities are public and charge no or very low tuition fees, whereas in other countries, the cost-sharing with parents and students is much more demanding. The paper will try to underscore and explain these differences by drawing on the lessons of economic analysis and on the historical and cultural background of countries.
Extremely Difficult Paths of Polish Educational Reforms between 1989 and 2014
Authors: Kucha Ryszard
Published: June 2021

In the 25 years after the events of 1989, a mismatch between the system of education and the system of market economy has become a universal phenomenon in Poland as one of the European countries. There are also signs indicating the educational expansion does not promote the role of the individual in the process of socio-economic development of the society. As a result, the younger generation experiences a great dissatisfaction and frustration generated by their difficulties in fulfilling their educational, social, and professional aspirations and expectations. This paper provides a review and critique of the educational strategies implemented by bureaucratic central and local administration of the last 25 years of Polish society life.
Structures of identification in Curriculum – European examples
Authors: Jobst Solvejg , Trippestad Tom Are
Published: June 2021

The educational debate in Europe is marked by the assumption that international education can help to cope with the increasing interconnectedness of people, activities, places and events. At the same time, the protection and restoration of each nation’s economic and cultural base against globalization and multiculturalism also have an impact on educational policies and educational practice. The characters of those competing discourses are strongly framed by structures of identification that imply various kinds of in- and out-group relations with different emotional, cognitive, and evaluative connotations. Against this background, the paper focuses on agencies that are being set up by educational policies and teachers in reshaping contemporary complex society. It investigates different European cases: a) European identification in the individual curriculum of German, Czech, and Polish teachers and b) identification as a political issue of nations outside the EU through a Norwegian example.

Published: June 2021

This study was carried out on a sample group of 50 adolescents in their last year of Compulsory Education and aimed to determine the perceived values by subjects in their favorite television characters through the Hall-Tonna document analysis. The basic hypothesis for the study was that television conveys values and constitutes one of the forces for socialization at play during adolescence. The data was collected by means of a personal essay about their favorite television series character. Results show that the values most commonly perceived by adolescents are related to belonging, play/recreation and competence/confidence. Social-oriented values were also found. It is concluded that the measurement instrument used may constitute an adequate tool for decoding the values perceived by adolescents in their favorite television characters. Based on these results, some methodological proposals are presented to promote student values development from actual to desired values profiles and to use television as an educational resource.

Reizwort „Darwin“: Eine komparatistische Diskursanalyse zu Wissenschaftskonzepten in zwei gegenwärtigen didaktischen Kontroversen, nebst einem historischen Exkurs
Authors: Meier Markus
Published: June 2021

Since schools have left the patronage of religious institutions, the sciences have become their point of reference as far as their didactic content is concerned, the state as far as their form (administration, financiation etc.) is concerned. The present paper aims to show, how political and/or religious interests try to interfere with the scientific orientation in secondary and tertiary education, referring to the case of Charles Darwins theory of evolution. In an introductory analogy, the implementation of “Rassenkunde (race education)” during the Third Reich is reconstructed and contrasted to attempts to install “creationism” resp. “gender-studies” in education today. Both intentions are concludingly evaluated in respect to their scientific and political foundations and implications.
Zur Internationalisierung von Schule und Hochschule
Authors: Graumann Olga
Published: June 2021

Internationalization is more imporant than ever for today’s universities and schools. Up until into the 20th century, research exchanges beyond national boundaries were left to individual initiatives. Today the internationalization of schools and universities is carried out through funding programs which financially secure mobility and international research activites. Through concrete examples of international network creation, the article demonstrates how universities can fulfill the mandate of internationalization. Heterogeneity should drive innovation and development on all levels. Although schools have been faced with migration movements for decades, social diversity is still not recognized enough as a possibiliy for innovation. Nowadays, intercultural education must be central. The internationalization of schools and universities is situated between global, national and regional challenges. Internationalization per se is neither „good“ nor „bad“; however, whether it leads to „the good“, to more „humanitas“ and the ideal of of the „global citizen“, rests in the hands of those who are responsible for internationalization at the respective school or university.

Foreword
„Christianopolis“ als Utopie der Bildung, Erziehung und Wissenschaft nach Johann Valentin Andreae (1586-1654)
Authors: Franz Anja , Franz Dietrich-Eckhard
Published: June 2021

Education and sciences, that are accessible to all, is the focus of several complex and remarkable utopian visions from the 17th century. Particularly the life and work of Johann Valentin Andreae (1586-1654) shows the relation between the critique of social conditions and the idea of a better society. As many others at that time he favours a type of state marked as enlightened governance. However, his detailed description of the state “Christianopolis” from 1619, in which he addresses primarily the role of science and education in a society, shows significantly more independent concepts and implications. In his comprehensive explanation he specifies that science and education have certain responsibilities and importance for a better society. Those thoughts are meaningful and considerable both for philosophical and historical reflections of science and the vantage point of the present and shall therefore be the main focus of this article.
Актуальные вопросы формирования билингвизма у детей в дошкольных учреждениях юго-восточного региона Украины
Authors: Казанцева Лариса Ивановна
Published: June 2021

The article deals with the problem of Russian-Ukrainian bilingualism formation of preschool children under the conditions of the multicultural and multilingual environment of south-eastern Ukraine. It corresponds to the objective need to teach childrenthe Ukrainian language as a state language in preschool institutions with a predominantly Russian-speaking organization of the educational process. As it turned out, the process of bilingualism formation in children faces several contradictions arising between the sociolinguistic specifics of the South-Eastern region of the country and the linguistic situation in preschool institutions, between the actual level of preschool children’s knowledge of their native language and the Ukrainian language; between the level of language-consciousness development of children and the applied methodological tools of bilingualism formation. The most frequent errors in common practice in the formation of secondary phonetic, grammatical, dialogical, and communicative skills are singled out; the effective means of coping with cross-language interference, methodical ways of maximizing the positive impact of the transposition are named. Bilingualism formation in a multilingual environment can be successful if the training is based on the principles of reliance on pupils’ native language, on awareness and communication, taking into account the function of language units. The main conditions of bilingualism formation are the following: parity in the bilingual educational potential of preschool institutions’ speech environment; provision of conscious learning of a second language based on the native language; maximum immersion of children in the actual communicative speech and in language-play activities; the presence of positive emotional stimuli.

Toleranz und Stressresistenz in einem mehrdimensionalen Raum: Kommunikationsphänomene
Authors: Семеновских Татьяна Викторовна , Брук Жанна Юрьевна
Published: June 2021

Nowadays scientists are increasingly talking about a ‘multi-dimensional’ person and the world. The diversity of religious, philosophical, scientific, inclusive and social systems testifies to this phenomenon. By individuals’ multi-dimensional space we mean, first of all, their life, their cognition of the world and themselves, as well as heterogeneous and multi-dimensional traditions, culture and art. The notion can cover the multidimensionality of the individual’s body, including his or her mind and psyche. The article deals with the problem of increasing stressors that determine extreme life situations and require an individual’s psychological resilience, which in turn allows us to examine such concepts as tolerance and stress resilience. Tolerance is seen as a positive personal characteristic; a component of social maturity aimed at a dialogical perception of the world. The level of tolerance is determined by the individual’s system of values, reflecting the degree of positive attitude toward the diversity of the world, its social, cultural, ethnic and ideological differences. The relationship between the stress resistance indicators (neuro-psychological stability assessment; ‘Perceptual evaluation of stress resilience type’ by N.P. Fetiskina) and tolerance (tolerance questionnaire by V.S. Magoon, M.S. Zhamkochyan, M.M. Magura; express questionnaire ‘Tolerance index’ by H.W. Soldatova, O.A. Kravtsova, O.E. Khukhlaeva, L.A. Shaygerova) is set via Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The analysis of 124 boys and girls aged 16-17 (high-school pupils from Tyumen schools in Russia) has shown that if a person is stress resilient, he or she is characterized by a high level of tolerance, and vice versa, if a person is not stress resilient, he or she is characterized by a low level of tolerance. However, a tolerant high-school pupil is not a priori stress resilient. The authors emphasize that internal individual human resources are becoming a promising area of research, where stress resilience is regarded as a predictor of tolerance, but not otherwise.
Социальное здоровье обучающихся в гетерогенной образовательной организации
Authors: Байкова Лариса Анатольевна
Published: June 2021

In the article the idea of social health and criteria for social wellness among children of diverse age groups are discussed. The results of research on the topic of social health and special needs of children from heterogeneous educational institutions are shown. The educational needs of children from heterogeneous groups are largely similar to each other – they all strive for self-fulfilment through high-quality education, they all need creative outlets and a broad social circle. One third of those children are in need of close pedagogical and psychological support. Monitoring the characteristics of their dominant social orientation, social and psychological adaptation, self-actualization and specific educational needs will allow us to apply an individual and differential approach in organizing psychological and pedagogical support for students’ social health.
Warum Vielfalt eine enorme Herausforderung darstellt
Authors: Diel Irina
Published: June 2021

In der Bildungslandschaft bzw. Erziehungswissenschaft stellen die Begriffe Heterogenität, Vielfalt und/oder Diversity inzwischen ein vielbeachtetes, wichtiges Themenfeld mit einer breiten Plattform an interkulturellen Ansätzen und/oder pädagogischen Konzepten dar. Auf dem Hintergrund einer heterogenen Gesellschaft geht es dabei hauptsächlich um den Umgang mit Unterschieden, um einen gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt, in dem man laut Adorno (1944) „ohne Angst verschieden sein kann“ (Adorno, 1944, S. 113f.). In den gegenwärtig unübersichtlichen Zeiten lernen wir Vielfalt mehr denn je als enorme Herausforderung kennen, wobei – wie etwa die Flüchtlingskrise, der Brexit, das Anwachsen an Rechtspopulisten uns zeigt – kann der Umgang mit Vielfalt neben der Bereicherung für viele auch eine Überforderung bedeuten. Die Gefühle der Unsicherheiten in vielen Ländern Europas stellen das Diversity Management bzw. den Umgang mit Vielfalt auf die Probe. Kann Vielfalt zu viel sein? Wenn ja, wie geht man damit um? Dieser Artikel greift das Thema Vielfalt als Dilemma auf und richtet den Focus auf die Wechselwirkung zwischen gemanagter und gelebter Diversity. Dabei wird auf die Rolle der Transformationsfähigkeit eingegangen.
