The Relationship

Students in institutions of higher learning are those who can be nurtured with sustainable lifestyle practices during their study period on campus. Involvement in eco-friendly programs and practices on campus will be brought into their next community. An individual’s goal or motivation is a value that can drive the change from knowledge into action. This study was conducted to identify the level of knowledge and level of recycling practices among students of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). The relationship between recycling knowledge and practices among 376 UPSI students was studied using a quantitative approach using SPSS analysis. The instrument construct used has a reliability value of α = 0.750. A total of 256 female respondents and 120 male respondents answered the questionnaire provided. The respondents of this study consisted of UPSI students in the age range of 18 to 26 years. In addition, respondents have different educational backgrounds namely diploma (21.5%), bachelor's degree (73.4%), and master's degree (5.1%). The results of the study found that UPSI students’ level of knowledge on recycling is high with an overall mean of 4.344. Based on the standard deviation and mean score, the majority of respondents have a high level of recycling practices with an overall mean of 4.145. However, the association between recycling knowledge and practices among UPSI students showed a weak correlation with a value of 0.141. In conclusion, although UPSI students have a high level of knowledge of recycling, it is not the driving factor for recycling practices. This situation indicates the need to change the implementation strategy of the recycling program on campus through emphasizing other aspects such as self-motivation and social motivation as well as universal values for lifelihood wellbeing.

Instructional strategies refer to the approach an instructor may take to achieve objectives and learning outcomes. The aim of this study is to identify the current training needs for Instructional Design and Strategies (IDS) in the context of the Malaysian Higher Education institutions. The objectives of the study are to identify: the lecturers’ needs in respect of knowledge and skills to support their involvement in IDS; and the issues and challenges related to the implementation of IDS in higher education. This study employs a descriptive approach involving the use of a survey questionnaire to collect data. A total of 135 respondents participated in the study. They are university lecturers in institutions of higher learning in Malaysia, both public and private, from various disciplines and with varied experiences. A majority of the respondents perceived high level of awareness of the basic principles of course/lesson design. However, the level of involvement with IDS is limited by a lack of knowledge and practice. Hence, formal training of IDS is necessary for lecturers. Four main issues and challenges pertaining to the implementation of IDS in higher education were identified in this study. Recommendations were given in light of the problems emerged from the study.

Definition Of

The advancement of European dress to the rest of the world was linked to the definition of civilization as “a stage of social development considered to be more advanced” and “polite and good-mannered”. The widespread of their fashion style in the 19th and 20th centuries influenced the way the rest of the world attire. The fashion trend and dressing style thus change the purpose of dressing through time. The dressing style in campuses especially in private institutions of higher learning is under particular scrutiny, as it is often said to be inappropriate for a learning environment. This study looked at the importance of moral education, and its role in implementing the dress code for students among university students especially between two types of university i.e. public university and private university. It looked on the dressing style of students, both male and female, and the factors that lead to their dressing pattern which is common among students. This study also advocated the students’ understanding of the content of dress codes in their learning institution and the role played by moral education in regard to dress code. The overall study highlighted students’ perception towards the implementation of the dress code and punishment in their learning institution. The methodologies used to carry out this study are questionnaires and interviews. This study will therefore ascertain the important of dress code among students at higher learning institution and the role of moral education in cultivating values in order to dress properly or decently. Key Words: moral education, dress code, higher learning institution, civilization.

Community engagement is a phenomenon that has received increasing attention among institutions of higher learning in recent years, and students engaging with communities are generally seen as beneficial. Given this, surprisingly little is known about this form of engagement in Australian higher education, let alone methods to measure its benefits on students. This study discussed the development of the Student Community Engagement Benefits Questionnaire (SCEBS), a questionnaire that measures the perceptions of community engagement benefits among undergraduate students in Australia. The final questionnaire has 32 items allocated to four benefit scales: (1) Career skills, (2) Diversity skills, (3) Interpersonal skills, (4) Civic skills. Most benefit items had a factor loading of atleast 0.40 with its own scale. The results of the factor analysis revealed that the four scales accounted for 53% of the total variance. The alpha reliability coefficient for the four scales ranged from 0.79 to 0.91. Based on these findings, the Student Community Engagement Benefits Scale (SCEBS) is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used in the field of education. Undergraduate students also reported statistically significant changes in the four dimensions after participating in community engagement activities.

Insight Into

As a discipline, “Islamic studies” has attracted serious attention by a number of institutions of higher learning in predominantly nonMuslim societies. While southern Africa’s communities witnessed the inclusion of “Islam” as a subject in the faculties of theology at various regional universities as well as Christian seminaries, Muslim communities have clamored for the appointment of Muslim staff at universities to teach courses on Islam. On the whole, these educational developments bode well for the teaching and studying of Islam regionally, even though the purpose and objectives for doing so differ radically from one institution to the other. This essay first seeks to offer a brief insight into the teaching of “Islam” as a subject in theological/oriental/religious studies programs; it thereafter reflects upon “Islamic studies” as a social science discipline that has been included in the social science and humanities syllabus. It focuses on the BA Honors program to show the themes chosen for these programs and how scholars redesigned and changed these programs to meet modern needs. Apart from using “social change” as its theoretical framework, it also brings en passantinto view the insider/outsider binary that further frames the debates regarding the teaching and studying of Islam at these institutions in southern Africa generally and South Africa in particular.

This chapter reviews the book The University of Chicago: A History (2015), by John W. Boyer. Founded in 1892, the University of Chicago is one of the world’s great institutions of higher learning. However, its past is also littered with myths, especially locally. Furthermore, the university has in significant ways been out of sync with the trends that have shaped other American universities. These issues and much else are examined by Boyer in the first modern history of the University of Chicago. Aside from rectifying myth, Boyer places the university in the broader history of American universities. He suggests that the early University of Chicago, in its combination of openness and quality, may have been the most democratic institution in American higher education. He also examines the reforms that overcame the chronic weaknesses that had plagued the university.

A growing number of Native scholars are involved in decolonising higher education through a range of processes designed to create space for Indigenous realities and Indigenous ways of managing knowledge. Basing their educational approaches on Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies, they are developing Indigenist approaches within higher education. Ward Churchill (1996:509), Cherokee scholar, explains that an Indigenist scholar is one who:Takes the rights of indigenous peoples as the highest priority …who draws on the traditions – the bodies of knowledge and corresponding codes of value – evolved over many thousands of years by native peoples the world over.

The University

The Socratic method was the major pedagogic tool at the first great Western university, Plato's Academy, and continues to be respected, at least in theory, by teachers at our institutions of higher learning. Yet today many of Plato's heirs in the university community seem to hold several perhaps innocent but nonetheless serious misconceptions concerning the Socratic technique. As a political scientist interested in the history of political philosophy, I have developed some thoughts on this subject in response to repeated inquiries by colleagues and students alike.One popular inaccuracy describes the Socratic method as an openended question and answer process. Actually, the Socratic approach has a singular purpose, namely the search for truth, and it is this explicit goal rather than an informal procedure of give and take which distinguishes the Socratic method from other teaching techniques.
