Post-University Training for Jobless Market: The Experiences of Graduates in a Work Experience Programme
Authors: Mseleku Zethembe 
Published: September 2022

South Africa reportedly has one of the highest rates of unemployment in the world. Graduate unemployment parallels the country’s overall unemployment rate, with the youth being the most vulnerable group. Hence, work experience programmes are offered to prepare fresh graduates for the labour market. The purpose of this paper is to explore the experiences of graduates in a work experience programme. This paper adopted a qualitative approach to elicit the experiences of graduates regarding the graduate work experience programme. A total of 30 face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with graduates sampled from the eThekwini municipality’s work experience programme. The results indicate that while graduates participate in a work experience programme to gain skills and work experience needed to secure jobs and for professional registration purposes, they experience numerous challenges in the programme. These challenges include ill-treatment from senior staff members, lack of work resources, and unreasonable workload. It was also evident that graduates were unsatisfied about the work experience programme owing to the poor or lack of mentorship and the irrelevancy of the programme itself. This paper offers important evidence which suggests the need to develop work experience programme policy and monitoring and evaluation systems in order to improve the experiences of graduates in the programme.

Authors: Gharaibeh Omar Khlaif , Kharabsheh Buthiena , Al Daoud Khaldoon Ahmad 
Published: September 2022

The aim of this paper is to examine the effect of risks and financial concentration on the stability of Jordanian commercial banks based on annual data from 2012-2019. Using panel data based on the pooled effects model, the results indicate that funding risk and concentration are positively and statistically significant affects the stability, while credit risk and profitability have a negative and statistically significant impact on the bank's stability. Stability of Jordanian commercial banks is negatively affected by liquidity risk and size but they are not statistically significant. The study recommends bank managers to improve funding risks through the use of greater financing for deposits, which has a positive impact on increasing bank stability, while the credit standards have to be high quality because they reduce the risks of instability. Finally, managers have to make a balance between profitability and the stability of banks.

From Charity to Philanthropy: Study on Association-Running Schools in Non-Tertiary Education Fields in Macau
Authors: Tang Chunlin , Lou Shenghua , Xu Jialin 
Published: September 2022

Macau was under colonial rule by Portugal for a long time. Due to the colonial government’s lack of attention paid to education and Macau's unique dual social structure, the Chinese community in Macau gradually formed the phenomenon of providing education by associations. This paper focuses on the phenomenon of non-tertiary education association-running schools in Macau and divides the history of association-running schools in non-tertiary education in Macau for more than 100 years into three stages, namely: the period of charitable schools (1890s-1960s); the period of transformation (1960s-1980s); the period of philanthropic Schools (1980s-); This paper argues that with the development of economy and society, the non-tertiary education community in Macau has realized the transformation from charity to philanthropy. At the same time, With the implementation of 15-year free education in Macau, the structure of non-tertiary education subjects has become stable. For associations trying to enter the field of non-tertiary education, the likely direction is to develop special education, professional education, and characteristics education.

Authors: Adebola Oyinlola Omolara , Cias T. Tsotetsi 
Published: September 2022

Despite the enriched curriculum and pedagogical practices that expose everyone enrolled to be trained as professional teachers to teaching skills, the number of incompetent teachers produced by many higher learning institutions is still increasing. There is an outcry from the general public in South Africa. In order to gain insight into this concern, this study examined the challenges of pre-service teachers’ classroom participation in a rurally located university in South Africa. A qualitative research design of a case study approach was employed to collect data from ten years 3 and 4 pre-service teachers and five lecturers. A semi-structured and focus group discussion (FGD) was organised to collect data on a thematic analysis. The findings revealed that lack of preparation from both lecturer and student, the use of teacher-centred approach, difficulty in understanding English language, teaching workload, large classes, student background and tribalism are major challenges limiting pre-service teachers’ classroom participation in a rurally located university in South Africa. Pertinent recommendations were made, including student-centred and collaborative teaching and learning approaches that could encourage students to participate actively in classroom activities. This would also catalyse the pre-service teachers' involvement in the teaching and learning process.

Authors: Donakpo Silue , Adama Soro Nahoua , Siata Kone 
Published: September 2022

This study addresses the issue of sick candidates during end-of-year exams. Based on qualitative socio-anthropological work in reflection on the psychology of learning, it deals with the socio-anthropological factors that weaken the psychological well-being of teachers, regardless of the discipline, during the exams. The collection tools were individual interviews and the study took place at the Peleforo GON COULIBALY University of Korhogo from April 20 to June 30, 2021. It involved a total of 64 undergraduate students selected by the reasoned method. The results show that students who do not have family support or who do not come from a family with a health or educational culture succumb to the stress of exams and fall ill. According to some respondents, these illnesses are due to an unbalanced diet, lack of physical activity and sports, and insufficient rest during the exam period. Others suffer from the negative influence of spiritual forces in their environment. Also, it appears from the investigations that the failure of the psychological well-being of learners is linked to a lack of confidence in their skills. This crisis of self-confidence causes imbalances in their being; hence the need to introduce a personal development module (which can take into account stress and fear management) in the examination programs.

Наиболее хорошие условия для гражданско-патриотического воспитания в современной системе образования - это внеурочная деятельность. Внеурочная деятельность ориентирована на личностные интересы, потребности и способности обучающихся, обеспечивает возможность самоопределения и самореализации, способствует созданию «ситуации успеха» и творческому развитию, создает условия для социально значимой деятельности и проявления активности, что, собственно, и способствует воспитанию патриотического сознания [5].
The best conditions for civic-patriotic education in the modern education system are extracurricular activities. Extracurricular activities are focused on the personal interests, needs and abilities of students, provide the opportunity for self-determination and self-realization, contribute to the creation of a «success situation» and creative development, create conditions for socially significant activities and manifestations of activity, which, in fact, contributes to the education of patriotic consciousness [5].
Von einer Aufgabe des Bundeswettbewerbs Mathematik hin zu aktueller Forschung
Authors: Müller Eric 
Published: September 2022

Nach einer Einleitung zu bundesweiten deutschen Mathematikwettbewerben geht es um die 2019 beim Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik gestellte Aufgabe, dass für keine ganze Zahl zwischen und mehr als 23 Primzahlen liegen. Der Artikel beschreibt eine Lösung zu dieser Aufgabe. Dann zieht er Verbindungen zu Primzahlkonfigurationen und dem Dirichletschen Primzahlsatz. Die Frage, ob die in der Aufgabenstellung genannte Grenze von 23 Primzahlen scharf ist, führt zur sogenannten ersten Vermutung von Hardy und Littlewood sowie aktuellen mit Computer ermittelten Beispielen für Primzahlkonfigurationen.
