Research Commercialization

The ultimate aim of this investigation is to determine the significant contribution of research commercialization of Higher Education Institutions in Region XI on their economic sustainability and commitment to economic development of the region. Using mixed method via triangulation technique, the study infers that the mindset of the respondent universities is not yet for research commercialization. This inference is drawn from the following findings: there are enough inventions and innovations in universities but their research commercialization is less extensive; the degree of the contribution of research commercialization to their own economic sustainability is low at 14.6% but is statistically significant. The level of their commitment to economic development of the region is high but the degree of the contribution of research commercialization to such commitment is very low at only 7.3% and not statistically significant. This means that 85.4% of economic sustainability of universities and 92.7% of their commitment to economic development of the region are contributed by other factors aside from research commercialization. This implies that any increase in the level of research commercialization will have a corresponding effect on the level of its contribution to the universities’ own economic sustainability but not to their commitment to the economic development of the region.

Medium Of Instruction

The implementation of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) has been found to bring numerous benefits to its learners. There has been a rising trend in introducing EMI at higher education institutions worldwide. However, challenges are ubiquitous and there is still prevalent hesitation in integrating content and language in many institutions. This study aimed to explore factors hindering students’ level of lesson comprehension in EMI classes through a mixed-method study carried out on 233 participants at Hoa Sen University, Vietnam. The findings showed that variables hampering students from lesson understanding were mainly associated with instructors’ teaching methods and students’ and instructors’ language competences. Results from standard multiple regression indicated that vocabulary range, writing skills and teaching methods were found to have significant contribution to the prediction of the level of lesson comprehension of the students. The findings of the study could be a considerable reference source for universities aiming at implementing EMI programmes.

Method Approach

Adult learners have unique educational needs that require attention from Higher Education Institutions, facilitators and industry. While several theories and policies have been developed to address the bourgeoning educational challenges confronting adult learners in Higher Education Institutions, not much has been achieved in the wake of growing knowledge and skills demands of employers. Using a mixed method approach, a survey (n = 200) and focus group discussions (n = 27) were conducted among adult learners who were also professionals studying engineering programmes in three diverse universities in Ghana. Additionally, interviews were conducted with representatives from industry and from the three engineering departments in the three universities. The study revealed that while the development of separate programmes for adult learners in Higher Education Institutions is not plausible in meeting the educational needs of adult learners, a different pedagogy could be used in addressing the unique knowledge and skills needs of adult learners. We present the implications of our study in relation to theory, practice and further research.

Economic Well Being

Peralta (2008) viewed intellectual property rights as valuable assets that could help propel a company or even a nation towards economic well being. However, Amorado (2012) cited the alarming fact that most researches ended into their shelflife tragedy. Grounded on these contentions, this study sought to determine the contribution of research commercialization to economic sustainability of universities by utilizing a mixed method of research via triangulation technique. Findings confirmed the validity of both contentions. Key Informants from government agencies of region XI and selected university administrators were united in their perspective that universities must become self-reliant by strengthening their income generating capacities through commercialization of their marketable researches. However, the quantitative findings revealed that although there were enough university inventions and innovations, the extent of research commercialization was still very low which resulted to only 14.6 % contribution to their own economic sustainability. This study inferred that the current mindset of universities in region XI is not yet for research commercialization because such an endeavor has not been woven yet into their research culture. Hence, the establishment of research utilization and commercialization office in universities is an urgent need.   Keywords - Research Commercialization, Economic Sustainability, Research Utilization and Commercialization Office
