Some academics are pushing for teaching staff to implement didactical practices to obtain sustainable behavior. Moreover, a fundamental element of gamification in all educational stages is the noteworthy effect it has on student motivation. In our study, we examined higher education students’ assessments in the University of Malaga on the design of educational gamification and the teaching criteria that relate to gamification, and its effect on student’s motivation, the applications of gamification, and the attitude towards sustainability. A questionnaire was administered to students studying for degrees in education from the University of Malaga. A total of 187 valid surveys were obtained. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was computed for these data based on an exploratory–confirmatory model and using SmartPLS version 3.3.2. A positive relationship between assessment of students’ motivation and sustainability attitude was found. We found that the opinions of the students about the role of their training and teaching design material in education would affect students’ motivation and the sustainability behavior, although the power of this last construct is moderate.

Campus Initiatives

It is the role of community college leaders to guide their campuses in assessing outcomes for students. Additionally, the diversity of our students requires institutions to significantly improve their effectiveness in educating students who have been underrepresented in higher education. Community colleges must more systematically examine their practice in terms of how students experience the campus and how we can intervene to improve student outcomes. Campus initiatives promoting cultural competence, equity, and social justice cannot be delivered to students in isolation. Faculty and staff diversity must increase, and employees must engage in self-reflection to examine their own assumptions and have courageous conversations about race and ethnicity in higher education. The impetus for these initiatives must come from leadership and be articulated at all levels of the organization. This chapter describes the process used to raise cultural awareness, increase cultural competence, and create an equity mindset at a community college.

An analysis of different aspects regarding the creation of networks within the Croatian higher education system is presented in the paper. The larger part of the paper refers to the analysis of public services in general and the network approach in public administration in particular. The state of the higher education system is presented through the inclusion of market and network principles and the establishment of numerous actors in this field by which effectiveness of this field of public administration is trying to be improved. The aim of the detailed examinations is to pro-vide an overview of all relevant actors whose interactions and roles resemble network-like relationships. To examine the starting hypothesis that neo-managerial approach leads to networking within the higher education system, an empirical study was conducted at the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek, Croatia among the teaching staff and students. The final chapters of the paper present and discuss research results which principally support the initial assumptions.

The Prestige

The problem of transformation of the higher education system in the Russian Federation in terms of developing scientific and pedagogical potential is quite acute. Copying the Bologna system without adapting to the Russian reality led to the formation of destructive consequences for the system of reproduction of scientific and pedagogical personnel of the country. Negative trends in the number of higher education institutions, demographic waves accompanied by a decrease in the number of students, changing market requirements for the value of higher education and its formalization have led to a reduction in the need for research and teaching staff. Among other things, the prestige of the higher school teaching profession has significantly decreased in society, which has become an additional factor for reducing the interest of talented young people in the teaching profession, and without the influx of talented creative personnel into the research environment, the country's human resources potential in general also falls, as well as its innovative potential. Many scientists negatively assess the reformation in the higher education system of the Russian Federation, focusing on criticism of changes that forced higher school teachers to work to achieve rating indicators, rather than developing their own intellectual potential and teaching. They negatively assess the Western experience in implementing generalized education standards, which, first, in Russia were not adapted to the country's original culture, and secondly, led not to solving problems in the higher education system, but to their aggravation.

Abstract Intercultural and multilingual communication has become a necessity for all institutions in the age of globalization and transculturation. Higher-education institutions are no exceptions to this, mainly due to increasing contact with universities and other institutions at the international level, student and teaching staff mobility, and exchange of knowledge and experience. Intercultural communication in universities includes not only national cultures of respective parties, but also educational and even legal cultures. Higher-education institutions are required to manage multilingual and intercultural communication effectively, undoubtedly with the help of translation. Today, in most higher-education institutions in Turkey, academics employed in foreign-language departments are responsible for translation work, i.e. intercultural communication. This paper mainly focuses on the role of academics as translators in the management of intercultural communication in higher-education settings. The paper first draws attention to the increasing need for intercultural and multilingual communication in higher education. It then explores the translator’s role, power, responsibility and limitations in achieving intercultural communication in higher-education institutions.
