Important Activity

The university is an institution with a social commitment that trains professionals in different fields. In addition to the substantive functions, referred to higher education as teaching, research and dissemination of culture, bonding arises as an increasingly important activity, which is fundamental because it is associated with strengthening the productive and social sectors. Under this premise, the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco in Mexico has a strategic axis focused on linking to development in which different programs operate, including those of social inclusion for the benefit of communities in the region. As a consequence, the present investigation of qualitative and exploratory scope is developed under the case study design, with the objective of explaining how community entrepreneurship can be consolidated from the academy fostering social bonding; documenting an institutional project that was favorable both for the institution through social ties with Tabasco communities, and for a group of small producers of the entity. The community project was developed through an alliance between students, research professors and entrepreneurship experts. The results showed that the link is an effective instrument to strengthen the relevance of the university, to meet social needs, support government agencies to make their programs more efficient and effective, as well as feedback the training processes of the university itself, for the benefit of different communities of the state of Tabasco in Mexico.

Impacto Económico

Entre los avances espectaculares que a nivel social y económico se reportan en los últimos años con la apertura de la Revolución Ciudadana en el Ecuador, cabe destacar el incremento de las posibilidades de acceso a las universidades de las clases menos favorecidas; pero paradójicamente ha surgido de manera asociada otro de los grandes males que afecta a la institución  universitaria,  que resulta el  alto  porcentaje de estudiantes  que abandonan  los estudios antes de finalizarlos, con un impacto económico negativo para los esfuerzos que realiza el estado en este sentido. En el trabajo se presenta un análisis teórico vinculado con los problemas del abandono de los estudios universitarios en el mundo, en  Latinoamérica  y especialmente en la Universidad Técnica de Manabí, donde se propone un caso de estudio con el objetivo de profundizar en la problemática, develar sus causas y proponer un conjunto de medidas encaminadas a reducir las consecuencias de esa problemática social.  Palabras   claves:   Abandono   de   estudios   universitarios,   inclusión   social,   resiliencia universitaria  Abandono estudiantil en universidades ecuatorianas www.itsup.edu.ec/myjournal     Analysis of student dropout in Ecuadorian Universities: Case Study, Technical University of Manabí  Abstract  There have been remarkable improvements in the social and economic levels of the state in recent years with the opening of the Citizens' Revolution in Ecuador. Among them, it is taken into account the possibilities of increasing the access of the lower classes to the universities. Absurdly there has appeared some troubles       affecting the university. These difficulties consists of  the highest percentage of students who drop out the studies  before  ending  each college career, and  resulting in  a negative economic impact on the efforts of the state in this regard. The work illustrates a theoretical analysis of the problems linked to the learners’ desertion of university studies in the world, especially in Latin America and particularly in the Technical University of Manabi in Ecuador, where a case study is proposed with the aim of deepening the problem presented, with the main goal of revealing its causes and to propose a set of measures to reduce the consequences of this social problem as well   Keywords: Retention, social inclusion, university resilience

This article reports on the achievement and attitude aspects of a study comparing students who had the first 4 years of the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP) secondary curriculum to two distinct groups of comparable students, an age cohort and a mathematics course level cohort. A case study design with schools in three different sites (one urban, two suburban) was used. Three instruments were given: a Mathematics Level I Achievement Test from the Educational Testing Service, a 30-item Applications Test, and a 25-item Student Opinion Survey. At two of the sites, the UCSMP students outperformed both the age and course level cohorts by substantial amounts on both the achievement and application tests. At the third site, both comparison cohorts outperformed the UCSMP students on the achievement test, but results on the application test were mixed. At all three sites, there was little difference in the attitude items except on items concerning calculator use.

This study aimed at finding out factors affecting pupils’ absenteeism at Felicomfort JHS at Amamoma within the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. The total population was 145 covering the JHS1, JHS2, JHS3 pupils and teachers of the school. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 34 respondents. These were made up of 10 out of 15 teachers, 10 parents out of 53 and 14 pupils out of their accessible population of 56. Pretest, posttest, questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data from respondents. Case study design was used for the study and data analysis was done, using mean values, frequency and percentage counts with the Predictive Analytical Software (PASW) version 21. Key findings of the study indicated that 71.4 percent of absenteeism was due to teachers’ inability to care and find out from pupils the cause of their absenteeism, while 70 percent of respondents indicated that parental lack of care was the major cause of their absenteeism. However, majority (10) of respondents (71%) disagreed that pupils’ attitudes were part of the contributory factors to their habitual absenteeism. The overall percentage mean (58%) representing 8 of the pupils discounted teacher factor as responsible for their absenteeism. It was recommended that government through the District Assemblies offer some financial assistance to poor and single parents to enable them to adequately cater for their wards at school.

The main goal of the paper is to describe current practice and experience of one university in application of digital badges with particular attention to two research questions: What are the purposes of issuing digital badges to students? How digital badges are used in fully online or blended learning studies referring to student’s assessment and recognition? A case study design has been selected in order to analyse real-life issues and practices. Virtual learning environment and characteristics of meta data of digital badges have been analysed. The results of the analysis indicate that majority of digital badges were issued in order to assess students’ knowledge, skills, and competencies while the rest of the digital badges were issued to acknowledge personal features ant to motivate. However, recognition using digital badges does not take please at the University. Findings indicate that teachers need trainings on the development and application on digital badges in order to offer transparent procedures when the system itself gives digital badges to students after their fulfilment of predefined criteria to make assessment process more objective.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how knowledge retention may be enhanced at the University of Zambia (UNZA). A quantitative case study design employing a triangulation of data collection methods was used. Data were collected using interviews and questionnaires. Purposive sampling was used to determine participants for the interviews whilst stratified random sampling was employed to select the respondents for the questionnaire. The quantitative and qualitative data that was analysed using SPSS® indicates that UNZA lacked certain knowledge retention practices that might enable it to retain operational relevant knowledge. In view of the findings, the study recommends the adoption of a knowledge retention framework that could be embedded in UNZA’s knowledge management policy.

Embedded Case Study

Faculty work now includes market-like behaviors that create research, teaching, and service opportunities. This study employs an embedded case study design to evaluate the extent to which faculty members interact with external organizations to mitigate financial constraints and how those relationships vary by academic discipline. The findings show a similar number of ties among faculty members in high- and low-resource disciplines, reciprocity between faculty members and external organizations, and an expanded conceptualization of faculty work.
