This dissertation explores the concept of ecological consciousness through a case study approach examining recent attempts to use graduate training and research to better address issues of ecological sustainability and human health. Since the 1970s, there has been a growing number of graduate training programs designed to equip a new generation of graduates with the kind of awareness necessary to address the global ecological crisis. Despite these efforts, the crisis on the whole continues to worsen. Although scholars have pointed to the challenges that ecological consciousness poses for graduate training and research, few studies have examined these challenges from the point of view of graduate students themselves. To better understand the opportunities and constraints of graduate training and research, this dissertation uses the framework of ecological consciousness to analyze the experiences of an international group of twenty-six graduate students and professionals trained in ecosystem approaches to human health (ecohealth) in Canada, West and Central Africa, and Central America. Drawing on systems thinking, Indigenous knowledges, and historical materialism, I argue that ecological consciousness means using different ways of knowing to challenge the disciplining tendency of academic knowledge production and open space for a wider ecology of knowledge to develop and express itself. Methodologically, this project is informed by institutional ethnography, building on the diverse experiences and insights of interviewees to make sense of the layered contextual frames of the university, the state, and international development research projects. Despite an orientation toward transformative practices, interviewee experiences reveal strong pressures to fit within top-down, disciplinary processes already governing the administration of training and research, thereby limiting the possibilities for ecological consciousness. I conclude by offering certain theoretical possibilities for how ecological consciousness can support collective action upon the disciplinary employment structures, which graduate students and professionals have a key role in transforming.

This paper discuss about the reclamation of Jakarta Bay from the perspective of ekofeminisme. The reason the writerchooses this issue, because of the need to emphasize the environmental aspect paired with ekofeminisme in development policy programs that have been done especially the development done over the ocean. The issues to be raised in this research question about how the policy of Jakarta Bay reclamation is viewed from the perspective of ekofeminisme as well as to know what factors push and obstruct Jakarta Bay reclamation policy. The research method used in this research is qualitative research method with case study approach. In order to obtain data in this study, researchers will use primary and secondary data sources. The results of this study indicate that the development of Jakarta Bay reclamation has not been in accordance with the perspective of ekofeminisme. This is because the reclamation of Jakarta Bay is still concentrated on economic matters only, and has not yet realized sustainable development. Thus, stakeholders are expected to apply an ecofeminism perspective to the Jakarta Bay reclamation development policy to avoid a global ecological crisis and environmental degradation. Feminism replied that the energy of femininity and not masculinity, has the potential to preserve the environment.

Class Time

The flipped classroom is an innovative and increasingly popular pedagogical approach in higher education. It emphasises student learning responsibility, deeper learning, differentiated instruction and more efficient use of class time. However, despite its increasing popularity across disciplines, few studies have elaborated on strategies for implementing a flipped classroom beyond its essential elements. The present study thus proposed a three-stage collaborative instructional model (3-CI), an extension of the classic flipped classroom model. A case study approach was adopted to investigate 3-CI’s effectiveness through students’ perceptions in Research Methods in Educational Technology, with 29 graduate students. Results show that 3-CI increases participants’ satisfaction, engagement and collaboration. Furthermore, 3-CI design strategies, which emphasise collaboration and student-centredness, can help college educators to incorporate the flipped approach into their teaching practice.

This research aims to explain the sound error al-kalimāh aṭ-ṭayyibah, vowels and consonants. The research conducted at UIN Yogyakarta. Sources of data obtained from Arabic Linguistic Studies of Post Graduate Students in UIN Yogyakarta. The method used is descriptive-qualitative with case study approach. Data collection of this research used interviewing, taking notes, and recordings. This research shows that the mistakes found in vowels; either short, long, and double vowel sound. Fatḥah(َ) sounds /a/ becomes /o./ Ḍammah(ُ) sounds /u/ becomes /o/, /ū/, dan sukūn/ْ./ Kasrah(ِ) sounds /i/ becomes /e./ Syaddah(ّ) which read double will be not double. Fatḥah(َ) which followed alif(ا), it sounds /ā/ and becomes /a./ Fatḥah(َ) which followed alif(ا) dan tilda(~) above it, it sounds /ā/ and becomes /a./ Fatḥah(َ) which followed wawu sukūn(وْ), sounds /au/ and becomes /ao./ Fatḥah(َ) which followed ya’ sukūn(يْ), sounds /ai/ and becomes /ei./ The error sound of the consonants, consonant phoneme sound ع/‘/ becomes ا/’/, ح/ḥ/ becomes ه/h/ and ك/k/, ظ/ẓ/ becomes ز/z/ and ج/j/, ش/sy/ becomes س/s/, ق/q/ becomes ك/k/, ذ/ż/ becomes ظ/ẓ/ and د/d/, ت/t/ becomes ط/ṭ./ The sound of the vowels and consonants errors occur due to there is link between language with speakers.

Mentoring Relationship

Mentoring of graduate students is essential to the professional development of business and professional communication (BPC) scholars; it also helps advance the field of BPC and its disciplinary identity. In this article, a professor and graduate student use a case-study approach incorporating historical/archival data collection and grounded in critical reflection to describe and characterize their own long-term, cross-institutional mentoring relationship. They analyze artifacts from their mentoring experience; discuss benefits and challenges to mentoring in BPC; offer implications for mentees, mentors, and academic programs in creating formal mentoring plans; and suggest topics for further research.

Migration Research

An ethnographic case study approach to understanding women’s actions and reactions to husbands’ emigration—or potential emigration—offers a distinct set of challenges to a U.S.-based researcher.  International migration research in a foreign context likely offers challenges in language, culture, lifestyle, as well as potential gender norm impediments. A mixed methods approach contributed to successfully overcoming barriers through an array of research methods, strategies, and tactics, as well as practicing flexibility in data gathering methods. Even this researcher’s influence on the research was minimized and alleviated, to a degree, through ascertaining common ground with many of the women. Research with the women of San Juan Guelavía, Oaxaca, Mexico offered numerous and constant challenges, each overcome with ensuing rewards.
