Scientific research is an indicator of the quality of processes in the university environment, so it must be increased by virtue of the results of the work carried out by research teachers and students. Objective: to know the perception of the students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Guayaquil about the scientific activity. Methods: theoretical and empirical level were used, a questionnaire with closed questions aimed at knowing the opinions on the research activity in this institution was applied. Result: that of the sample analyzed 295 (36.3%) said they agreed with the training for the writing of scientific articles. 35.6% said they agree with the training on research projects.  Conclusion: that undergraduate research should be enhanced to ensure the formation and development of research skills in students.

Virtual Supervision

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to national lockdowns in multiple states. The education system, including pharmacy education, has been negatively affected by the subsequent closure of universities. Many institutions have resorted to virtual learning, which work best in settings with fast, stable internet connections and where electricity is readily available. In resource-limited settings, popular virtual interaction platforms like Zoom may not work, and educators have to devise novel ways to continue teaching. The University of Zimbabwe used innovative mobile phone-based processes to ensure continuation of the final-year pharmacy students’ honours research projects, supervision, and timely submission. This facilitated rapid communication between students and professors and allowed effective guidance for the students’ research process. All students completed their projects; 13 out of 16 submitted their write-ups within the deadline; all students passed, 69% scored an upper second (2.1) grade or better, indicating the high quality of the majority of the research projects.

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the causal model of Causal Model of quality of campus community, Student Value and Academic Civility Students of shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Methods: The research method was descriptive correlational method. The research sample consisted of 338 students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences who were selected by cluster random sampling method. The Research tools was College and University Community Inventory (Ernest Boyer, 1990), student value (Dziewanowska, 2017) and academic civility (Clark & Springer, 2017). Data obtained from questionnaires were evaluated in both descriptive and inferential sections using statistical tests by spss21 and lisrel8.54 software. By implementing the structural equation model, it was found that the proposed model has a good fit and the students' scientific etiquette is well predicted and explained through the quality of the university environment. Result: The findings showed that the quality of campus community has a positive and significant effect on academic civility (p-value-0/0001). The quality of campus community has a positive and significant effect on student value(p-value-0/0001). The findings showed that the student value by mediation the quality of campus community could affect the academic civility students (p-value-0/0001). Students 'values also play a mediating role in the relationship between the quality of the university environment and students' academic civility. Conclusion: Values determine the desirable path of students’ life especially in the final years of their studies, therefore, students obtained necessary motivation based on a set of values which is internalized in them and attempt to achieve their great goals. Hence, it is necessary to provide important measures for the development of higher education environment and also to provide the basis for the internalization of values in students with the aim of their education and literacy toward the desired goal and perfection.

Self-study skills are one of the soft skills that play an extremely important role for students in the university environment. However, some universities in Vietnam, at present, have not introduced this skill into teaching soft skills, including Tra Vinh University. Self-study skills determine the majority of students’ learning outcomes, but in fact, not many students are aware of this. By questionnaires and in-depth interviews conducted in May 2019, the authors wish to present the current situation of self-study skills of students of the Department of State Management, Office Administration and Tourism, thereby proposing solutions of integrating self-study skills into specialized knowledge teaching in order to improve the learning quality of students of the Faculty in particular and Tra Vinh University in general.

The Ideal

For its scope and the breadth of its available resources, the university system is one of the keys to implementing and propagating policies, with sustainability policies being among them. Building on sustainability performance in universities, this study aimed to: Identify the procedures deployed by universities to measure sustainability; detect the strengths and weaknesses of the Spanish university system (SUS) sustainability practice; analyse the SUS contributions to sustainability-related Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+I); and assess the efficacy of such practices and procedures as reported in the literature. The indicators of scientific activity were defined by applying scientometric techniques to analyse the journal (Web of Science) and European project (CORDIS) databases, along with reports issued by national institutions. The findings showed that measuring sustainability in the SUS is a very recent endeavour and that one of the strengths is the university community’s engagement with the ideal. Nonetheless, high performance is still elusive in most of the items analysed. Whereas universities account for nearly 90 % of the Spanish papers published in the WoS subject category, Green and Sustainable Science and Technology, their contribution to research projects is meagre. A divide still exists in the SUS between policies and results, although the gap has been narrowing in recent years.

Florida’s First Coast Manufacturing Innovation Partnership (MIP), sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), promotes collaboration between academia and local industry members by providing a shared resource center. The local industry provides the university with research opportunities for its undergraduate students in areas of mechanical engineering design, manufacturing, and analysis and the university provides the local industry with technical resources. This paper outlines how this collaborative effort is structured, what types of projects are undertaken, and what the benefits are to academia, industry, and society in general. In particular, the paper describes three computer aided engineering (CAE) projects, addresses how these industry-academia projects help achieve the goals of the MIP program, and how these projects help improve the CAE skills of the future workforce.
