Published: November 2024

The primary aim of institutional learning outcomes assessment is the creation of a culture of assessment where faculty use evidence-based data to validate and improve teaching and learning for the benefit of students. Faculty are key to these processes and yet, they are often woefully disengaged from them. This paper presents findings from an action research project that utilized a collaborative self-study approach to engage faculty in the strategic assessment of institutional learning (SAIL). SAIL is an immersive professional development opportunity that bridged quality assurance with meaningful improvements in the classroom. Findings indicated that cross-disciplinary dialogue about assessment increased faculty awareness of the (mis)alignment between course, program, and institutional learning aims while also identifying and informing potential gaps in curriculum and program design. SAIL is an excellent mechanism to engage faculty in an immersive assessment of student achievement that may then lead to meaningful improvement in teaching and learning.
Hurdles to Learning Assessment Quality: Their Detrimental Effects on Student Learning
Authors: Aga Firdissa J.
Published: November 2024

The study investigated hurdles to the quality of student learning assessment by examining issues related to assessment procedures and practices, learners and learning, learning resources and test constructs, and test admin and feedback. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from two Ethiopian universities using two types of questionnaires. The results have shown that learning assessment practices and procedures were inundated with a number of hurdles. Among them were academic dishonesty, a dearth of giving timely feedback, assessment procedures’ failure to direct learners to higher-order learning outcomes, test construct underrepresentation and irrelevance, and learners’ temptation to work for good grades rather than for acquiring the required competencies. These were the major hurdles that had detrimental effects on student learning at the universities. It has, therefore, been recommended that universities and their communities should ensure meaningful and useful assessment of student learning by putting in place effective and quality assessment that constitutes deep learning guided by effective feedback towards the achievement of learning outcomes (LOs).

Authors: Lambert Laura , Good Megan
Published: November 2024

Assessment practitioners are well aware that evidence of learning improvement in higher education is scarce. A Learning Improvement Community has been created to promote learning improvement. Recently, this group created a Readiness for Learning Improvement Tool. Given learning improvement projects are resource intensive, this tool was designed to help practitioners and faculty evaluate a program’s readiness prior to engaging in the work. The tool is quite flexible, which is an asset; however, the flexibility leaves practitioners with a number of methodological decisions to make. In this paper, a case study from James Madison University’s Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT) B.S. program, one strategy for using the tool is demonstrated. In this particular case, all outward signs suggested that the program was ready for a learning improvement project. Use of the Tool revealed that the faculty did not have the capacity to take on a new project. Decision points and considerations on future use of the Tool is provided.

Schiller's Critique of Kant's Aesthetic Philosophy
Authors: Jafari Hamideh
Published: November 2024

This article aims to demonstrate that Schiller began his aesthetic thought by critically evaluating Kant's Critique of Judgment. What most prompted Schiller to reflect and subsequently develop his own theories was Kant's dualism concerning the relationship between necessity and freedom, or the dichotomy of sense and reason. Schiller's dissatisfaction with these dualisms led him to pursue unity, ultimately finding that the perception of beauty is a harmonizing experience. In his critique of Kant's purely subjectivist view of beauty, Schiller introduced an objective concept of beauty as freedom in appearance. Finally, in an attempt to reconcile the two realms of aesthetic and moral experience, Schiller criticized Kant’s distinction between aesthetics and ethics, arguing that for humans to become moral, they require preparatory measures, which can only be provided through aesthetic education.

Sexual Assault: The Burden of Proof for Survivors
Authors: Guajardo Antonia , Tadros Eman
Published: November 2024

Sexual assault is a global concern affecting individuals of all ages, races, and socioeconomic statuses, with significant adverse impacts on physical, mental, economic, and social well-being. This paper advocates for policy change to support survivors of sexual assault by examining articles that provide a comprehensive overview of sexual assault as a pattern of intimate partner violence in the United States. The review explores vulnerable populations, gaslighting tactics, rape myths, and how disbelief reduces survivor reporting and increases trauma, including PTSD. Although gender-neutral language is used throughout, the focus is on women's perspectives due to the high rates of violence committed by men against women. A multi-disciplinary approach incorporating medical, mental health, law enforcement support, and advocacy is recommended to lessen secondary victimization and empower survivors in resolving their cases within the criminal justice system.

Published: November 2024

This cross-sectional study aims to detect Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) in patients who have had retinal scans and ophthalmological exams. The research makes use of tailored retinal images together with the OPF (Optimum-Path Forest) and RBM (Restricted Boltzmann Machine) models to categorize images according to the presence or absence of DR. In this work, features were extracted from the retinal images using both the RBM and OPF models. In particular, after a thorough system training phase, RBM was able to extract between 500 and 1000 features from the images. The study included fifteen distinct trial series, each with thirty cycles of repetition. The research comprised 122 eyes, or 73 diabetic patients, with a gender distribution that was reasonably balanced and an average age of 59.7 years. Remarkably, the RBM-1000 model stood out as the top performer, with the highest overall accuracy of 89.47% in diagnosis. In terms of specificity, the RBM-1000 and OPF-1000 models surpassed the competition, correctly categorizing all images free of DR symptoms. These findings highlight the potential of machine learning, particularly the RBM model, for self-identifying illnesses. The potential of machine learning models—in particular, RBM and OPF—to automate the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy is demonstrated by this work. The results show how well the RBM model diagnoses, how sensitive it is, and how well it can be applied for efficient DR screening and diagnosis. This information may be used to improve the effectiveness of systems that identify retinal illnesses

Currently, digital business laboratories are one of the most important tools for student skills in university business. However, based on initial searches, a digital business laboratory has yet to be found within the State Islamic Universities (PTKIN). This research aims to analyze the digital business laboratory development model at PTKIN. This research uses research and development methods with a qualitative-comparative approach. This research concludes that this digital business laboratory plays a role in forming Bachelor of Economics who are adaptive, creative, and have strong digital business skills. Not only that, but digital business laboratories must uphold the function of higher education. The development and management of such a complex laboratory ultimately produces output and outcomes for students and the community, government, and stakeholders involved in laboratory operations. Mono-disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and multi-disciplinary approaches are alternative development patterns to equip students with excellent knowledge and skills. Through this strategy, a digital business laboratory development model was created by carrying out three programs, namely the internship program, partnership program, and empowerment program. Thus, this research is expected to contribute fully to advancing students, universities, government, and society.
