Local Government Internship: Opportunity or Exploitation?
Authors: Mseleku Zethembe , Nyawo Sibusisiwe 
Published: March 2024

Despite the evident increasing unemployment rates, particularly youth unemployment, the South Africa’s graduate labour force continues to grow. Recent studies show the devastating figures of graduate unemployment which grow alongside the overall unemployment rates in South Africa. Undoubtedly, unemployment mostly affects young graduates who recently graduated from higher learning institutions. Thus, internships are increasingly recognised as a bridge through which graduates can transition from higher learning institutions to the labour market. However, whether internships are good or bad for young graduates remains a debatable question. Therefore, this paper is drawn from the perspectives of young graduate interns to determine whether internship presents real opportunities for career development of young graduates or it is merely used as an exploitative tool by employers. This study adopted a qualitative approach where a total of thirty graduate interns from eThekwini Municipality participated in the semi-structured face-to-face interviews. The results indicate that most graduate interns viewed the local government internship programme as exploitative. Further results show that graduate interns are generally underpaid yet overworked in the local government internship. Workplace abuse and the lack of access to resources were reported as major challenges faced by graduate interns. These results symbolise the exploitative nature of internship programmes at the local government level. Therefore, this paper recommends appropriate systems, policies, and workplace rules to improve local government internships.

The Role of Uig Linkages in Improving Competitive Advantage: A Case of the Clothing, Textiles, Leather, and Footwear Industry of South Africa
Authors: Mbatha Sipho , Sihlobo Sinqobile 
Published: March 2024

The South African clothing, textiles, leather, and footwear (CTLF) sector has been under competitive attack, mainly from Asian countries. The many studies undertaken so far have not focused on the role of research and development linkages among university, industry, and government (UIG), and hence, this study was undertaken. This study uses mixed methods, interviews of managers and directors from UIG actors, and a survey of CTLF firms to understand the role of UIG linkages in improving competitive advantage. The data was thematically and descriptively analysed. The findings highlight that most CTLF firms were not involved in UIG research and development linkages. As a result, CTLF firms have not utilised researchers available in the universities nor research-related industry and government funding that supports innovation and technological improvements. For the CTLF to improve its competitive advantage, its development strategies must include being engaged in UIG research and development linkages.

This study aimed at verifying the effect of experiential learning program on entrepreneurial mindset. This study was based on a quasi-experimental design. The subjects were 113 undergraduate students, in which without randomization, fifty-eight and fifty-five students were grouped to a treatment group and a control group, respectively. The subjects in the treatment group received the experiential learning intervention during six weeks. Meanwhile, the subjects in the control group received the problem-based instructional method. All subjects completed the entrepreneurial mindset scale at two measurement times (i.e., pre-test and post-test). Based on Shapiro-Wilk test, data were found not to be normally distributed. Hence, data were then analyzed using the non-parametric tests. Based on data analysis, the undergraduate students who involved in the experiential learning program had a higher entrepreneurial mindset than those who did not involve in the program. In addition, the undergraduate students who involved in the experiential learning program had an increased entrepreneurial mindset. This study provided a theoretical implication, in which it extended the literature of the Implicit Theory of Intelligence (ITI) and the Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) by providing the synthesis of both theories in the higher education context. This study also had a practical implication for the lecturers who have an interest in entrepreneurship education. According to our findings, the entrepreneurial mindset could be enhanced by the experiential learning program (i.e., the experiential learning intervention).

Authors: Khabibullayev Zhanibek , Ibragimov Raskul , Kalimbetov Burkhan , Sydykhov Bakhyt 
Published: March 2024

There is a great contradiction between the need for specialists in the modern education system who are ready to develop students ' logical thinking, and the discrepancy between the level of training of future teachers in the process of studying at universities. Based on a survey of the teaching staff, it was found that future mathematics teachers are not systematically trained in logical thinking of students (85.8% in the responses of teachers). In particular, the problem under study has not yet been sufficiently studied in the psychological and pedagogical literature: a) the conditions and system of logical thinking of students are poorly developed; b) an exhaustive model of preparation for logical thinking has not been developed. The goal of developing students ' logical thinking is: cognitive truth; formation of the correct system of cognitive techniques and methods. This is due to the fact that logic is a collection of knowledge about the forms and laws of abstract thinking in the knowledge of the world. Therefore, this article discusses the preparation of future mathematics teachers for the development of logical thinking of students.

Published: March 2024

At the present time, international institutions have been requesting efforts to offer quality health services and dignified treatment. However, scientific evidence reports that women in their maternal role are at greater risk of having their right to health violated, suffering some type of violence and even being discriminated against during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. The aim of the study was to investigate the scientific evidence on obstetric violence in the health care setting. Methods: The Scopus and Scielo databases were exhaustively explored, making a total of 30 scientific articles. For this purpose, the inclusion criteria were established as English, Spanish and Portuguese. All articles aimed at evaluating obstetric violence were included. Studies were excluded due to duplicity and deficiencies in the methodological quality of these documents. Results: The presence of three categories is evident: (a) dehumanization during childbirth (b) policies and regulations are not complied with in practice (c) types of violence not recognized by health professionals. It is concluded that obstetric violence is a problem that has been affecting several countries. Despite efforts to reduce this phenomenon, policies and regulations are not applied in practice, which is why the various types of violence affect not only the woman but also the newborn. Therefore, training for professionals is urgently needed to avoid any type of violence.

Published: March 2024

Indigenous Phronetic Leaders inspired and promoted immense developments in communities through collective organizational knowledge creation. The study aimed to identify the problem of farmers, determine how phronetic leadership was practiced by the key informant, and describe the present situation of Bacut, Santa Marcela, Apayao, Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Philippines. Mr. Elorde P. Anniban, an indigenous phronetic leaders was the main participant and the protagonist. He is an indigenous respected elder or “pangat” who, despite being physically disabled, initiated reforms in Bacut. In-depth interviews and document reviews were applied in this management case study. Results revealed that the main problem of the farmers was low rice production because there was no water system to irrigate their farmlands. Without the knowledge of the key participant, he applied the socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization (SECI) model and encouraged the mining of bright ideas of the people, engaged stakeholders and relentlessly sought government intervention to address the problem of farmers. Through the phronetic leadership of the key informant, the farmers, and the government leaders, an environment-friendly dam, fondly called the Bacut Lake was constructed irrigating farmlands and doubling and even tripling rice production addressing poverty in Santa Marcela, Apayao. In addition, indigenous peoples' phronetic leadership, the province of Apayao has now an astounding agri-eco-tourism site, a national park, rich in biodiversity, and several existing organizations are working together to boost the economy of the farmers and the province. On the other hand, Ifugao State University, a government higher education institution in the country, crystallized a phronetic leadership framework as an offshoot of the study.

Published: March 2024

This research determined what multimedia the home economics professors prefer in teaching the competencies needed in the BTLEd home economics program. Also, it shows what competencies students need in the identified areas of home economics and the challenges students encounter in using various multimedia for instruction. Data was retrieved from (N=42) BTLEd Home Economics students' day and evening sessions and the (N=7) professors teaching home economics subjects. The study made use of mixed-method research. For the quantitative part, students and professors completed a questionnaire using Google Forms. Where Students Needed Competencies in the Identified Major Areas in Home Economics was presented, followed by the Preferred Multimedia-Based Instruction Used by the Home Economics Professor. A qualitative research design was used to determine the challenges encountered by the students in using multimedia in the identified major areas in Home Economics. Thematic analysis using Braun and Clarke's (2006) model was applied to analyze the qualitative data on the challenges encountered using multimedia in Home Economics. Findings revealed four major themes of student challenges encountered in multimedia: no internet access, lack of computers and gadgets, lack of familiarity with multimedia, and computer Illiterate. To ensure that every student has fair access to digital resources and the necessary skills to use them, the school has to develop a comprehensive Digital Inclusion Program. The school will be able to handle internet access, device shortages, and digital literacy in a thorough and organized way by putting this approach into place. Providing students with the necessary skills and resources for multimedia-based learning would also promote an inclusive and fair digital learning environment.

إدراك النخبة الأكاديمية لتأثير خطاب الكراهية في الفضائيات الليبية علي الاستقطاب السياسي للجمهور وانعكاساته علي الانتخابات
Authors: عيسى ميلود عبد الله د.جمال 
Published: March 2024

تعد وسائل الإعلام مصدرًا أساسيا للمعلومات التي يحصل عليها الجمهور عن الشئون العامة والقضايا السياسية كما تعد وسائل الإعلام أداة أساسية في صناعة الرأي العام وتشكيل اتجاهاته نحو القضايا المختلفة، حيث إن وسائل الإعلام تسهم بشكل أساسي في خلق المعنى للقضايا المطروحة من خلال إمداد الجمهور بالأخبار والآراء إزاء تلك القضايا بما يمكن الجمهور من تكوين مواقف واتجاهات حيالها واتخاذ سلوكيات بشأنها.
ولكن أصبحت وسائل الإعلام في بعض الأحيان في عرضها وتفسيرها للأحداث والقضايا لا تقف موقفًا محايدًا ولكنها تعد نفسها طرفًا مشاركًا في تلك الأحداث، فقد تقوم بتعميق الصراع بين الأطراف المتنافسة وتأجيج الخلافات بين القوى السياسية المختلفة والجمهور، مما يعمل على خلق بيئة مستقطبة سياسيا.
فوسائل الإعلام من خلال تحيزها أحيانًا لأحد جوانب الصراع في مقابل رفض الجانب الآخر وإلصاق الجوانب السلبية له، فإنها بذلك تعمل على تقسيم المجتمع إلى مجموعات متعارضة في آرائها السياسية ومعادية لأي آراء أخرى، وهو ما يعمل على فقدان أي نقطة مشتركة للتفاهم السياسي بين تلك المجموعات، وهذا من شأنه أن يعزز الانقسام السياسي بين الجمهور وتكريس حالة الاستقطاب السياسي.
وقد انعكست حالة الاستقطاب الحاد بين الجماعات السياسية المتنافسة في ليبيا على الأداء المهني للإعلام، والذي يقوم في أغلبه على الملكية الخاصة، حيث إن هذا الإعلام افتقد في معظم وسائله وخاصة القنوات التليفزيونية الفضائية إلى الأسس الموضوعية في مقاربته للأحداث، وقد كان واضحا الانحياز الصريح والدعائي لبعض المؤسسات لطرف دون طرف، وانتهاج خطاب الكراهية في تناولها الشأن الليبي وقضايا الصراع السياسي الليبي.
