Developing a training in religious pluralism to a young generation at a university level in Indonesia seems to work out as the university is a highly intentional agent of for that coaching. It is a place where its stakeholders, including its students, are inclined to bow to the academic tradition, and where the religious pluralism can be a subject that they study and practice.  This process is a potential medium to reduce religious conflict and violence in the country. This paper found this dynamic at the Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta that perpetuates the religious pluralism by its well-organized academic programs, mainly by its discussions and dialogues. This university applies this training to perpetuate religious tolerance and social harmony among its administrative and teaching staff.

While we know a great deal about the practice of probation and parole and about their place in the correctional process, we know virtually nothing about the kind of professional education that is best suited for probation and parole work and we have little information on the extent to which graduate-level opportunities are available. This article re- examines the tasks of probation and parole officers and relates them to the differing academic programs used by such personnel. Data from a na tional survey are used to demonstrate that probation and parole agencies have not supported Professional staff development. A number of ap proaches to improve graduate study for probation and parole officers, at both the agency and the university level, are described. Implementing these suggestions would help to attain the objectives of effective rehabili tation and higher professional status for community correction.

Religious pluralism model holds the belief that there is virtue in every religion, just as all religions are good and are of equal value. It does not consider religion’s particularity but is interested in the ideas that have not favoured any religion. The issue with this concept is not its assertion of the validity of all religions. It is rather with its denial of the finality of any religion as the way by which people could come to God. Hence, it allows the existence of multiple religions in a given society and encourages religious tolerance. The beauty of pluralism is its flexibility which makes religious practicing a wilful act and religious conversion a choice and not a force, although it has the tendency to encourage syncretism. This research examines critically the implications of pluralism using historical approach on the development of Christian church. Data for the research were basically obtained from secondary sources. The findings reveal that although religious pluralism has its negative sides, it gives the much needed boost to development of church if its tenets are followed. Accordingly, the article recommends that Christian churches in pluralist societies such as Nigeria should imbibe the virtues of religious tolerance, and dialogue, if they want to remain alive and continue to be relevant.Contribution: Religious pluralism is a panacea to inordinate and incessant religious conflict, if given its proper place in Nigeria, will breed religious tolerance, peace and progress. This work would be of immense of benefit to government, missionaries and students across all strata of discipline.

This paper argues that the lack of serious attempts to incorporate Islamic studies in Kenya’s academic culture can best be understood by looking at the colonial and postcolonial policies toward university education there. The early missionary influence that shaped the nature of the indigenous educational system had a farreaching impact upon creating a culture of resistance among Muslims toward western education. In the postcolonial period, the new governments tried to create a level playing field for all of their citizens, regardless of religious orientation. But the colonial imapct had already left its mark on Muslims in terms of their visibility at the university level. The Kenyan government did not interfere in what academic programs should be prioritized at this level. But because Christians outnumbered Muslims in academia, their influence created a dearth of indigenous university-generated information and knowledge on Muslim institutions and society. This gap was left to foreign researchers to fill. As a result, Kenya has no indigenous Islamic intellectual culture. If this status quo does not change, Kenyan Muslims will remain vulnerable to foreign Islamist influences.

Studies show that Learning Management Systems at university level often are lacking necessary for teaching staff member features such as support of various didactical approaches, consideraion of different specifics of engineering disciplines, user-friendly interface. In this paper, a new recommender system aimed at teaching staff of engineering disciplines who wish to use E-Learning tools in their courses is proposed. The system will take into consideration the level of user experience, assess the elements of a teaching scenario and provide guidlines on the contents of the particular element with regards of the engineering specifics. As a result a lecturer should be able to create his E-Learning course that then will be running as a course within the university LMS. The novelty of the recommender system is that criteria used by the system are based on standards for engineering education in conjunction with the framework for pedagogical evaluation of Virtual Learning Environments.

This study presents a sustainability competencies map (SCM) for Business Administration and Management (BAM) disciplines as a tool to support education in sustainability at the university level. The study describes in detail the design and elaboration of the map based on the competencies defined by the Conference of Rectors of Spanish Universities (CRUE) and complemented with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) adopted by the United Nations. In addition, to externally evaluate the proposed SCM, we conducted a series of interviews with top managers and founders of five organizations that vary in size and industry. As the main contribution, the SCM for BAM studies is presented, containing 58 learning objectives. The qualitative research framework performed to obtain evidence from the interviewees showed that the holistic dimension of the proposed SCM is highly valued by the interviewed practitioners. Additionally, the SCM’s division of competencies into three levels of achievement was considered practical and helpful to measure them. Finally, the interviewees expressed concerns regarding the implementation of the SCM in real classroom, calling for the necessity of special training for teachers and flexibility of higher education system. Reinforced by the interviewees’ opinions, we believe that the SCM for BAM education presented here will facilitate the design of different methodologies by the teaching staff to guide students towards compliance with the 17 SDGs in 2030.

En las últimas décadas, las bajas tasas de mujeres que cursan estudios universitarios, así como el hecho de que esas tasas se han ido incrementando, han sido analizadas por investigadores en España así como en Europa y otros países. En nuestro análisis, hemos observado que las tasas femeninas de estudiantes están creciendo año tras año pero con significativas diferencias entre disciplinas académicas. Por esta razón, nuestro propósito ha sido recoger datos de las universidades españolas, de cara a observar tendencias y sus orígenes. Nuestro estudio incluye porcentajes de mujeres enroladas en las diversas áreas académicas de estudios en las universidades españolas, comparadas con los porcentajes en el conjunto de la Academia. También incluye algunos datos sobre los porcentajes de mujeres entre los estudiantes de doctorado, así como entre el personal docente de los<br />departamentos en las facultades, y los comparamos según el estatus académico. Finalmente, presentamos algunas conclusiones sobre las barreras en la carrera académica para las profesoras en las universidades españolas entre 1978 y 2008. Estos datos revelan los crecientes porcentajes de mujeres que durante los pasados años han<br />seguido estudios superiores. También muestran algunas diferencias entre áreas académicas, y asimismo que existe una significativa tendencia de género en el acceso de<br />las estudiantes graduadas a las categorías superiores del personal docente.<br /><br />In the last decades, the low rates of women that follow studies at the university level, as well as the fact that those rates are increasing, have been analyzed by researchers in<br />Spain, as well as in Europe and in some other countries.

Our study includes<br />percentages of women enrolled in the diverse academic areas of studies at the Spanish universities, compared to the percentages in the whole Academia. It also includes some data on the percentages of women among PhD students, as well as among the teaching staff of the departments in the faculties, and we compare them by academic status. Finally, we present some conclusions on the barriers in the academic career for female professors in the Spanish universities between 1978-2008. These data reveal the increasing percentages of women that for the past last years have followed higher studies. They also show some differences among academic areas, and also that there is a significant gender bias in the access of graduated female students to the upper categories of teaching staff.<br /><br />

Dosimetry and Radiation Protection, and Nuclear Physics and Technology are among the optional subjects in the degree in Physics of the University of Zaragoza.  Both of them are taught by the Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Area in the Faculty of Science. Since 2010, teaching staff on these subjects started to collaborate with a medical physics expert. The collaboration consisted of a seminar on Medical Physics and a guided tour to the clinical facilities. In these activities, the main tasks of a Medical Physicist and the way to access to the specialized training were explained. In 2015 University of Zaragoza launched the first call of the Expertia Program.  This educational program adds professional experience to the academic programs.  Since then, the teaching staff on Dosimetry and Radiation Protection, and Nuclear Physics and Technology have applied for the Educational Expertia (Expertia Docente) Program in all the editions and the collaboration has been enlarged to include several Radiation Oncologists’ experiences in the activities.

Modern Russian Universities face a new type of educational, educational and psychological problems related to inclusive education, multiculturalism of the student population, and a high level of heterogeneity in the cognitive and social development of the younger generation. All this forms a powerful social demand for the development of the psychological service of education. The new socio-cultural situation of development of the young generation poses a new problems of psychological support of the educational system, which are reflected in the deliberations and discussions held in the framework of all-Russian scientific-practical conference with international participation «Actual problems of psychological service of the University in the new reality», which took place on 25–26 September 2020 in an online format. During the conference, the following issues were discussed: socio-psychological aspects of modern education, health protection of students, the specifics of the work of psychological services of universities and psychosocial aspects of distance learning at a university in a pandemic. As a result of the conference, it was proposed: to disseminate and implement the positive results of the activities of psychological services in the field of mental health protection among domestic universities; promote the creation of a common Internet space for the exchange of experience between psychological services of educational organizations; to develop a number of methodological recommendations on the specifics of teaching in conditions of distance learning for the teaching staff.

In this paper an attempt has been made to analyze the importance of educating students through various missions of professional development activities of a university. Through its focus on teaching and learning, research and discovery, and outreach and engagement, the university creates, conveys, and applies knowledge to expand personal growth and opportunity, advance social and community development, foster economic competitiveness, and improve quality of life. Bangladesh, as a developing nation, experiences one of the most acute unemployment situations in the world. Getting a suitable job or building right career in the expected way has now-a-days become very difficult. Emphasis has been given on building skilled human resources by undertaking job oriented academic programs, arranging internship, job placement, workshop and facilitating opportunities to study abroad for higher education. Because, without imparting qualitative education and proper counseling a fresh graduate may lose the right way to approach in getting a better livelihood and build healthier career. The university, where the students are taught, can play a pivotal role in guiding them and building their professional skills in the way of achieving the goal. This article will analyze how a university can take part with students’ professional development activities and prepares its students for job market at home and abroad.
