Academic Development Programmes such as Extended Curriculum Programmes (ECP’S) at higher education institutions in South Africa were implemented and funded in 2004 by the Department of Higher Education and Training as an initiative to address low throughput rate and low graduation output. The objective of this study was to look at whether ECP’s were effective in improving throughput rates and graduation output and whether there were quality management practices in place to gauge the effectiveness of ECP’s. The ECP in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at a university of technology was used as a sample. Academic histories of the ECP and Mainstream students of the 2007 cohort were analyzed to draw comparisons graduation output of the two programmes. A questionnaire to graduates of the 2007 ECP cohort who were now in the workplace was administered and interviews were conducted with lecturers teaching on the ECP. It was found that the ECP was successful in improving graduation output and that graduates were well placed in industry. It was also found that although quality management practices were in place in the programme, it was not formalized and the results were not properly recorded.

This paper reports on findings of evaluative research into student perceptions of a structured academic development workshop, which was specifically designed to induct and orient international students into the academic expectations of their program of study at a university in Australia. With most Australian universities engaged in the business of internationalisation of higher education, there is some debate about the adequacy of practices adopted by these institutions to familiarise their non English-speaking background (NESB) international students with the Australian academic culture. While the practices of some Western universities are sometimes said to be inadequate, there also appears some consternation about international students’ lack of motivation to learn and their inability to master Western academic conventions. Against this backdrop, the paper outlines the impetus for collaboration between the university’s Learning Skills Unit and faculty staff in designing and facilitating a tailored academic development workshop for graduate students. After laying out related literature and details of the workshop, there is discussion of the data collection methods, and an analysis of the data from students. The paper makes a call for repeat workshops at the beginning of every semester, as an indispensable component of the overall content delivery strategies in the faculty’s graduate program. The paper concludes by contemplating the educational integrity inherent in program and faculty staff development initiatives, which are focused on addressing the academic and cultural proclivities of an international student cohort.

We analyze the challenges that are presented to the teachers of the institutions of the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education (RFEPCT), professionals of the Federal Public Ministry of the Basic, Technical and Technological Education Career (EBTT Career). From historicization, a study of the legal milestones regarding the career of EBTT teachers was carried out since the restructuring of the EPT offer in Brazil in 2008. In the study, the data produced from the Higher Education Census allowed a visualization, in form of graphics, referring to the quantity and training of teachers who make up the RFEPCT from 2009 to 2018. In addition, questionnaires were applied to academics from six classes in a bachelor’s degree program and two classes from the Graduate Program. This article, then, is the result of the production and analysis of the data, guided by the analysis of the movements of studies, a technique that considers the discourse as materiality. The analyzes indicated that teachers are subject to guidelines, principles, and values, guided by productivity, efficiency, and theoretical and methodological rationality. Therefore, the professional valorization of the EBTT Career teachers is related to the precepts of the market, which demand certain skills and competences in carrying out the pedagogical work in the school institution.

Research Question: Improvement of the educational system facilitate the access to labour market and affect the stability, and affect the competitiveness index. On the other hand, the country with a high score of GCI have a better educational system and more stable labour market. Motivation: Our goal was to investigate how important it is for a country to have educated people and how difficult it is to achieve the high rank in labour market efficiency without them. Results of the previous studies showed that a higher education is connected with the labor market. According to this statement in the paper we analyzed two indicators the Higher education and training and Labor market efficiency and their influence on the competitiveness score of the countries. Idea: The main idea was to analyzed how the Higher education and training and Labor market efficiency on the competitiveness score of the country. Data: The data were collected from The Global Competitiveness Report 2015-2016. We analysed the influence of Higher Education and Training pillar and Labour Market Efficiency pillar on the overall rankings of 15 top competitiveness countries and 10 Balkan countries. Tools: In the paper we used correlation, clustering, and regression analysis. Firstly, we compared the GCI 2015-2016 and the GCI 2014-2015. Secondly, we did cluster analysis between influential indicators in higher education and training pillar (pillar 5) and for Labour market efficiency pillar (pillar 7) to identify difference between top 15 and Balkan region countries. Regression analysis has been performed to determine the most influential indicators on GCI in pillar 5 and pillar 7. Findings: The most important result is that the human resource development and market demands for competences affect the development of the country's economy. Contribution: Results may have important implications for labor market efficiency and strategic national labor market framework development.

Rights Issues

The inclusion of gender equality, intersectionality and human rights issues in the various spheres of action related to education and training is becoming a priority in the field of research and action, since it can contribute to a more inclusive society and promote greater social justice. Thus, in this article we focus on the Portuguese context and analyse the plans of higher education courses in the first degree of the communication area with the aim of understanding if there are curricular units that present contents related to gender, intersectionality and human rights issues and what is their importance in the design of the courses that train professionals in the various areas of communication. In line with other studies developed in other contexts, in this exploratory analysis we conclude that there are practically no curricular units that focus on the themes of gender equality, intersectionality and human rights. This absence shows that these issues are not considered as a priority in education and training agendas, which may have impacts on professional development in areas as central as those involved in the fields of communication.

Interprofessional Learning

With more flexibility in higher education, the authors argue that online graduate programs have a significant but unrecognized potential for interprofessional learning. Interprofessional learning is an emerging trend that is considered necessary to address the “wicked problems” in our society that defy simple solutions, disciplinary silos, and cause/effect thinking. This chapter examines the challenges of: fostering good adult education pedagogy in an online context, encouraging peer collaboration and an intellectual culture in an online, self-directed graduate program, and creating the conditions for interprofessional learning.
