The researcher employed the qualitative research design, particularly the case study method of research. The researcher, later on, came up with themes to describe the experiences and performance of the Muslim learner and a recommendation for future research was also made by the researcher. These were the themes presented in this paper: (1) Experiences in a public high school. (2) Quality of education. (3) Family support. (4) Academic performance. (5) Dreams and aspirations. It can be noted that the respondent had positive experiences in her stay in a public high school. She did not feel any discrimination and untoward incident of her being a Muslim.

Observation is a common occurrence within the workplace, and can often manifest as either peer-to-peer monitoring or supervisor-to-peer monitoring. To date, there is a limited body of research that describes changes in performance due to either a positive or negative relationship between supervisors and employees. The present study reports qualitative data on supervisor-to-employee relationships and how the quality of the relationship can alter human performance. The results indicated that relationship with a supervisor was related to perceived performance under direct observation. Women were more likely to report a positive relationship with their supervisor, yet also indicated a negative emotion toward being monitored. These results are important in understanding how supervisor presence influences individual performance when completing job-specific tasks. The implications for future research are discussed.

PurposeFinancing is a major obstacle to achieving quality education for all persons of school-going age in less-developed countries. Consequently, corporate institutions through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives are increasingly becoming government partners in financing education sector projects. The effect of these CSR interventions on education funding gap, school enrollment and academic performance is yet to be adequately evaluated, hence the reason for this study.Design/methodology/approachThis study used in-depth interviews and focus group discussions on examining the contributions of CSR initiatives to school funding, enrollment and academic performance from the viewpoint of teachers, students and heads of schools. The interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed, reviewed and sorted according to key and recurrent themes.FindingsThe study shows that CSR interventions have contributed to student enrollment in beneficiary schools, improved academic and core-curricular performances of students. Funding gaps in schools have also being unraveled through this study which will inform policy decisions going forward. However, the informal financiers may have other reasons unknown to the resource recipients for investing in the education sector.Research limitations/implicationsThe research only considered the perspectives of teachers, students, pupils and heads of schools on the effect of CSR interventions on enrollment and performance. The views of CSR initiators (corporations), opinion leaders and other stakeholders of the schools are reserved for future research.Practical implicationsIt is therefore imperative that managers of school systems are cautious in establishing exchange relationship with informal financiers as there may be other hidden reasons behind the corporate support to the beneficiary schools.Originality/valueThe addition of other stakeholders' perspective on the effect of CSR initiatives on school enrollment and students' performance is a novelty.

<p>Este artigo utiliza os microdados do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem) e do Censo da Educação Superior para, através de simulações sobre os efeitos das cotas, quantificar e qualificar estimativas do impacto causado pela política de cotas para acesso às universidades federais sobre a distribuição de notas do Enem de cotistas e não cotistas, as notas de corte e as médias de notas dos ingressantes. Os resultados mostram que a maior diversidade (de categoria administrativa do ensino médio, de renda e de raça) nas universidades federais, introduzida pelas cotas, não acarreta ingresso de alunos com notas significativamente menores quando comparado com o cenário sem cotas. Isso ocorre devido à existência de potenciais cotistas cujas notas se encontravam acima do último decil (décimo) de notas em número suficiente para preencher as vagas reservadas.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave:</strong> Cotas; Universidades Públicas; Políticas Públicas; Desempenho Escolar.</p><p>  </p><p><strong>¿Las cuotas en las universidades públicas disminuyen la calidad de los ingresantes?</strong></p><p>Este artículo utiliza los microdatos del Examen Nacional de la Enseñanza Media (Enem) y del Censo de Educación Superior para, a través de simulaciones sobre los efectos de las cuotas, cuantificar y calificar estimaciones del impacto causado por la política de cuotas para acceso a las universidades federales sobre la distribución de notas del Enem de cuotistas y no cuotistas, las notas de corte y los promedios de notas de los ingresantes.

The results show that the greater diversity (in terms of public school, poor and minority students) in federal universities caused by the introduction of the quota system has not led to the admission of students with significantly lower scores when compared to the scenario without quotas. This is due to the existence of potential quota students whose scores are in the highest score decile in sufficient numbers to fill the reserved places.</p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Quotas; Public Universities; Public Policy; Academic Performance.

Public High School Students

This descriptive-comparative research explored the level of grammar proficiency and sequencing skills in narrative writing of the Grade 7 students. Specifically, it sought to determine the significant difference in the level of grammar proficiency and sequencing skills. The 308 Grade 7 students selected through stratified proportional sampling answered the researcher-made instrument. The findings revealed that the students have a low level of grammar proficiency and average level in sequencing skills as a whole. Moreover, a significant difference exists in the level of grammar proficiency and the level of sequencing skills of students when grouped according to academic performance in English and track, while no significant difference exists when the students are classified according to sex. The results imply that students can sequence events in a narrative. However, they find difficulty in writing grammatically correct sentences. With this, instructional materials may be designed to develop the students’ proficiency in writing.

Arguably, the computing has become one of the most importantareas in the world, demanding more and more skilled labor. In thisdirection, higher education plays an important role in the trainingof professionals that supply the market demand. To measurethe education quality of these professionals, the Enade evaluatesthe undergraduate’s performance from all higher education institutionsin Brazil. However, only a few studies have explored theinformation provided by the exam and its surveys. Based on the2017 Enade edition, this paper identifies the socio-economic profilesof undergraduate candidates in several computing courses inthe southern region of Brazil. As results, we found out that thecomputing student socio-economic profile consists of white people,male, between 18 and 26 years old and family income of 3 to 6minimum wages. Also, most students have no scholarship, theirparents attended up until high school, the high school completedin public school, and study in the night shift of private institutions.This work summarizes student’s profiles, enabling managers ineducation to introduce new policies to improve higher education.

This study compares participant perceptions of and performance in individual and collaborative activities using an emergent online learning tool with a variety of sophisticated features, including the ability to move dynamically between individual and collaborative participation. Study findings indicate that when engaging in online learning activities, participating in collaborative activities leads to more favorable attitudes toward the experience as well as higher levels of perceived learning than engaging in individual activities. Further, the average quality of responses on collaborative activities is higher than average responses on individual activities. Implications for future use of online, distributed learning tools are discussed along with implications for related future research.
