Authors: Luther Vicki , Richman Laila , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

Teaching is an incredibly challenging profession and the need for qualified, effective, and passionateteachers continues to increase. This is true even in years of economic downturn, when the role of ateacher becomes even more pivotal in providing knowledge and training to the next generation of theAmerican workforce. However, while there is no question that the charge of educators is vital, researchshows us that many of our novice teachers choose to exit the field while still in the early stages of theircareers. At one time, many teachers spent 30 or more years in the classroom; this is a trend which isseemingly becoming more of the exception than the norm. "A teaching career in the United States isnow down to eleven years," (Haberman, 2005, p. 336).

In recent time, there had been an urgent need for the understanding of and a planned framework for theintroduction of the commercialization of knowledge production concept in our universities. Manydimensions to this need had been attempted. This include drawing up new course descriptions orrevising the mix of the course subject portfolio. However, it is now becomes very obvious that suchdevelopment requires a good deal more than just looking into specific course contents, or setting up anentrepreneurial centre and or introducing a course in entrepreneurial education as announced byBaridam (2009) during the 25th Convocation Ceremony of the University of Port Harcourt.
What Constitutes An Effective Human Resources Curriculum?
Authors: Sincoff Michael , Owen Crystal , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

What constitutes an effective university curriculum in human resources management? In an effort to answer this question, the authors reviewed the research literature on human resources curricula, comparing, contrasting and synthesizing the recommendations that have been offered in recent studies. Although a number of scholars have addressed this issue from a variety of perspectives and offer many noteworthy points for consideration, the review of the research literature indicates that a definitive answer to the question of curriculum content has not yet been found. The authors summarize the recent research, categorizing studies in terms of type pf research (empirical versus conceptual), nature of subjects in empirical studies (executives, HR practitioners, recent graduates of HR program), gratitude versus undergraduate program focus, and focus of the course of study (professional versus educational) in order to identify the current state of knowledge and fruitful avenues for future research. They provide a useful source of information for those charged with creating and maintaining quality human resources education programs, and for those who intend to research the topic further.

Mary Olsen took over the Principalship of a large elementary school of over 1500 students in acrowded urban area. From day one, things did not go as she had planned. The first day it rained,upsetting her plans to have an outdoor line up and greet the students and parents together. Whenmeeting the teachers, she expected a sense of collaboration and willingness to work hard. Instead shefaced two diverse groups of educators: one was the veteran work force who did not want any changes,having been at the job for twenty plus years. The second group was the newbies (italics mine), recentcollege graduates who came in wishing to roll up their sleeves and work. However, this set was stronglyinfluenced by the veteran teachers who persuaded them to put forth minimal effort in order to keep thestatus quo. How could Mary Olson bring these two divergent groups together under a unifying mission,especially since she and the school needed to affect change and evidence student performanceincreases under the mandates of No Child Left Behind?

Home education, also known colloquially as home schooling, has been on the rise for the past twodecades. Estimates of the number home educated students range from 1.7% to 3% of thestudent population (Blok, 2003). It has gained legitimacy as noted by its evolution from beingprohibited in 30 states in 1980 to now being legal in all fifty states (Blok, 2003). Probably thegreatest sign of this new legitimacy is its general acceptance and positive coverage in the mediawhere home education is presented as a viable alternative to traditional schooling. Often storiespresent some exceptional and phenomenal successes, which are portrayed against a backdrop ofpublic school failings (Medlin, 2000).

Southern Africa has been witnessing an upsurge in the departure of technical expertise in virtually allsectors over the last five years (Stilwell, 2003). This has resulted in qualified personnel seeking greenerpastures abroad. Movement of people from developing countries towards the developed worldespecially Europe and the Americas has been conspicuous. Anecdotes show that during the 1990s,total migration of professionals towards Western Europe and North America accounted for 30% of theflows registered throughout the world (ILO, 1996).

Published: February 2023

Poverty has become a major socio-economic problem in present day Nigeria. A disturbing observationabout poverty in Nigeria is that it is on the increase, both in incidence and intensity despite the widevariety of national and international measures undertaken to eradicate it during the last three decades.The failure of these measures have been attributed to a multiplicity of causes, of which the mostfrequently mentioned and emphasized include: inadequate conceptualizations of poverty anddevelopment; failure to identify the root causes of the problem; lack of adequate organizationalrequirement for effective program implementation, wrong prescriptions given as solution to the problemof poverty and various combination of these shortcomings. An excursion through the vast literature onpoverty and development would reveal that current perceptions of and approaches to the problem ofpoverty are partial in scope and often reflect the case of the proverbial blind men and the elephant, inwhich men mistook the individual parts for the whole beast.

Consider the employee who is highly engaged and self-directed in her work, manages ambiguity well,genuinely engages in the journey of becoming an agent of change, seeks ways to understand herselfas a leader, and relishes the possibilities of ideas. On the other hand, there is the employee who looksto others for direction and answers, finds the lack of clarity and ambiguity unbearable, resists newideas, has difficulty making decisions, or jumps right into the decision-making process without carefulreflection. These disparate behaviors in employees seem to occur unrelated to age, gender, andsocioeconomic level. As teachers, managers, and consultants, we have engaged in our own leaderdevelopment practices and observed those of others in an attempt to explain these differences.

The development of leadership has been a critical concern of many organizational leaders in varioussectors (public, private, and social) across the globe. To better understand this complex phenomenon,researchers (e.g., Bass, 1990; Bennis, 1989) have been conducting leadership studies for decades invarious disciplines (e.g., education, management, psychology). Yet, studies in these disciplines ondeveloping women leaders are just emerging as an important focus of researchers and practitioners inmany countries throughout the world. In many regions it has become evident that the process ofdeveloping women leaders is particularly multifaceted and challenging. There are numerouscomplexities inherent in understanding women’s developmental backgrounds and journeys (e.g.,culture, traditions, religion, values, backgrounds, education, work-family issues, self-concept, genderbarriers, expectations, previous opportunities, perceived future opportunities) that play a critical role inthis challenging task. This is most definitely the case in the journey toward understanding how todevelop future women leaders within China.

Site-Based Management (SBM), also known as decentralization, is a process that gives decision-makingpower over educational programs to individual schools instead of district offices with theultimate goal of improved student learning (Hansen 2005; Tanner and Stone 1998; Walker 2007). It is aconcept that was introduced to education over two decades ago (Cromwell 2005). There are a numberof states and major cities in the United States that have legislated and mandated SBM programs,including Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Chicago, New York City, andLos Angeles (Chittum 2006; Walker 2007). SBM successes and failures have a number of specificcharacteristics and components; however, it is the belief of this author, based on the research, that thefuture success of SBM will be largely determined by the role and leadership of school principals.

The International Curriculum: Current Trends and Emerging Needs
Authors: Richter Jesse , null null , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

This paper examines the current state of tertiary level international curricula and provides groundwork for future research aimed at ongoing needs. Recognized is the premise that existing international curricular programs require maintenance. Burn (1995) called for curriculum reform in international departments two decades ago with the rationale that effective programming will consider both the near and distant future contexts of the business world. Devine (1993) provided some evidence of progress in the same era, but it is uncertain whether or not this was a sustained or isolated event. Additionally, there tends to be a mix in thought about what exactly constitutes an international curriculum: should it focus on students (Ledwith & Seymour, 2001; Mahon, 2007; Martin, 2009) or also involve faculty (Hung, 2000; Bryant, Karney, & Vigier, 2010; Colbert, 2010)? Should it be confined to the classroom or also include extracurricular and foreign exchange programs (Eagan and Benedick, 2008)? What components are characteristic of a functional international curriculum (Devine, 1993)? Lastly, is it possible to achieve an international curriculum model that fits all schools, or is it more appropriate to craft tailored programs according to the particular institution and student/faculty populations (Devine, 1993; Hung, 2000)? This paper explores these issues in the context of relevant literature and recommends directions for future research.
On-Campus Vs. Online Course Delivery: An Empirical Look At Both Approaches In A Controlled Setting For Introductory Managerial Accounting
Authors: Jordan Win , Brown Amanda , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

There continues to be much discussion about whether or not students learn as much in an online course as they do in an on-campus face-to-face setting. This paper presents empirical observations about four sections of introductory managerial accounting, two taught on-campus and two taught online. The on-campus face-to-face approach provided the same course content available in the online approach but also used classroom lectures and discussions. A comprehensive final exam covering all learning objectives of the course was used as the overall measure of content learning. The hypothesis was that content learning was not equal in the two groups, but a h-test using unequal variances indicated that essentially equal content learning was occurring under both approaches (the null hypothesis). Quantile regression also was used to uncover some insights not revealed by the t-test, indicating that among the worst-performing students, online students performed better than face-ta-face students and that younger students outperformed older students.

Grade inflation has been a "hot topic" in the higher education literature for some time now, due primarilyto conflicting interpretations of grade-change data. While definitions of grade inflation vary, most seemto indicate that inflation has occurred if a higher grade is awarded without a co-occurring increase instudent achievement, and is the outcome of decreased rigor in the assessment of student learning (seeBoretz 2004; Young and ERIC Clearinghouse on Higher Education 2003). Thus, the controversy is inregard to whether or not reported changes in GPA and grade distributions reflect instructor leniency.

Teaching in higher education is a very complicated and detailed subject. Good teaching encourages high quality student learning. One of the key principle of effective teaching in higher education is the concern and respect for student learning. Learning style, learning dimensions and academic belief systems as significant factors contributing to academic achievement. The quality of student learning in higher education should be improved and can be improved. How can it best be improved?. The answer is nearer to home :it lies in the connection between students’ learning of particular content and quality of our teaching of that content. Through listening to what students have said about their learning, we have observed how real this connection is. Good teaching and good learning are linked through students ‘experiences of what we do. It follows that we can not teach belter unless we are able to see what we are doing from their point of view’ (Ramsden,1999). Learning dimensions and academic belief systems as significant factors contributing to academic achievement. Anyone can only improve the quality of higher education if he/she study its effects on students and look at the experience through their and their lecturers’ eyes.

Two events specific to this study occurred in 1999, 1) the National Crime Prevention and PrivacyCompact became effective which provided reciprocity among the states to share records withoutcharging each other for the information, and 2) all 50 states and the District of Columbia were finallymembers of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification(NASDTEC) Clearinghouse which collects information concerning the status of educational certificatesand can then share (reciprocate) this information to any interested member of the NASDTECClearinghouse. The purpose of this study was to determine whether reciprocity among the 50 statesand the District of Columbia had caused an increase in certificate sanctions such as revocation,suspension or denial. By 1999, many states were also including fingerprinting in their criminal historybackground checks, but some states still were not. There were concerns among some teachers, schooldistricts, and states that the cost of fingerprinting was too great, the time constraints of such checkswere too great and fingerprints infringed on ones privacy. A graduate wanting to receive a teachingcertificate in both Kansas and Missouri would have to pay for and go through the fingerprinting processin both states, within days of each other. The fingerprinting process is not reciprocated; however,information received from the national criminal search as a result of the fingerprinting process isreciprocated.

"Two or more phonemic systems may coexist in the speech of a monolingual." This was what initiallycalled "switching code" by Fries and Pike (1949). People change codes or use words other than theirnative ones while speaking in their native language. Codes are thus defined as a verbal componentthat can be as small as a morpheme or as comprehensive and complex as the entire system oflanguage. (Ayemoni, 2006) code-switching is related to and indicative of group membership inparticular types of bilingual speech communities, such that the regularities of the alternating use of twoor more languages within one conversation may vary to a considerable degree between speechcommunities. (Auer, 1991) As basically defined, the result of bilingualism, code switching has beenstudied widely by psychologists, anthropologists and linguists in order to reveal other possible causesof the phenomenon. Different issues have been discovered and called the results of code switching byprofessionals in each field (See Nelip, 2006 for a review).

One crucial exercise which we are usually involved in is decision making. Educational decision makingin terms of selection of universities is one of such exercises that confronts the average candidate, andthis is dictated by one consideration or another. These considerations can be quite complex,particularly, when there is a large number of Universities to choose from. In the more developedcountries such as in the UK and US, such decisions are perhaps not difficult to make, although studentsin these countries are confronted with larger number of Universities than that in the less developedworlds such as Ghana. This may be because the larger number of Universities also means that there isliterary not only a University next door to every prospective student, but also, these Universities are fullyequipped to cater for individual student needs.

Technology plays a major role in the delivery of educational services in today’s colleges anduniversities. Gumport and Chun (2005) stated that enrollment in for-credit distance education courseshad more than doubled between 1997 and 2000. Distance education is undergoing rapid growth andexpansion as colleges and universities rush to offer online courses and degrees in a variety of subjectareas. Schrodt and Turman (2005) found students often expect college instructors to incorporate someform of technology into the class design even in traditional non-distance education courses. Althoughmany educators feel that advances in technology will positively change the way classes are taught,Gumport and Chun (2005) indicated that technological improvements do not always measure up toinitial expectations. Regardless of any negative side effects, such as cost or training for faculty,technology continues to advance in society and specifically in the college classroom.
