The aim of this article was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ethnic Relations Course in inculcating unity among students at the Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI). This was because the purpose of the course was to foster unity by forming a positive attitude and mind-set among the students. This study used the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) program evaluation model introduced by Stufflebeam (1967). Surveys and interviews were used to achieve all the objectives of this study. The data used were more detailed as they covered empirical and non-empirical aspects of the field of study. However, this article focused only on the learning outcomes of the Ethnic Relations Course (Product), namely, the level of unity among the students and how it is related to the demographic factors. Five findings were made in this study. Firstly, the results of the analysis revealed that the course had a positive impact on the level of unity among the students, where 99.5 percent of the respondents were able to respect their friends of other races. Secondly, 98.8 percent of the students were willing to help their friends of other races when they were in difficulties. Thirdly, 98.3 percent of the students were tolerant of each other, that is, they could sit together with those from other ethnic groups in the lecture room. Fourthly, 98 percent of them were proud of the ethnic diversity in Malaysia. Finally, the findings showed that demographic factors such as gender, ethnicity, religion and place of residence did not affect the level of unity among the students. The results of this study suggest that the students at the university have responded well to the Ethnic Relations Course and to unity. Hence, with these findings, this study dismisses the allegation that the students at the university do not mix with those of other races. The unity among the students at this university is at a good and satisfactory level.

System Selection

This paper describes the design and evaluation of an ERP system design course, which utilizes experiential learning theory along with open ERP sys-tem to provide the students with a holistic and cost-free learning environ-ment. The objective of the course is to familiarize students with the ERP se-lection and implementation life-cycle. When designing the pedagogical framework, the goal was to help students, especially those with little to no working experience to acquire the necessary knowledge, and develop the practical technical experience. Additionally, it was necessary to help students appreciate the depth and issues involved in the ERP system selection and implementation life-cycle. Lectures, case discussions, system demos with interactive labs, and group projects were used all together to enable in depth learning of the proposed topics. We focus on open source ERP system to provide the students with the required hands-on experience, and also to demonstrate that such approach can be utilized even by low resource universities. This paper includes details of the proposed framework. The proposed framework was taught and evaluated in a 1-semester graduate level course at the university of Jeddah, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The course design was in-directly assessed using a survey, and the results revealed the positive impact that the proposed framework had on students’ learning outcomes. The results of the assessment support that experiential based learning using open source ERP systems can lead to improved learning outcome.

This study aims to document the assessment of alumni of teachers professional education program (PPG) in Riau University on the effectiveness of the PPG program in preparing prospective professional English teachers. All alumni of the 2018 subsidized PPG program at the University were selected as the sample of this study (15 people). Data was collected through the distribution of a Google form-based survey which was adopted from the PPG program evaluation questionnaire from the Ministry of Education, Higher Education. This study found that from the curriculum aspect, 84.6% of alumni said that the PPG curriculum content was in accordance with the needs of pre-service English teachers. However, 76.9% of participants stated that most of the material had been studied when they were in the undergraduate program. In terms of learning facilities, only 23.1% answered that they were satisfied with PPG facilities. 46.2% of them stated that the lecture room was not feasible. From the aspect of organizing services to students, only 42.6% said they were satisfied. The rest answered simply enough. From the aspect of the impact of the program, 69.2% of participants admitted that PPG had a significant impact on the development of their teaching profession. The greatest impact is on the aspect of both professional and pedagogical competencies. Thus, even though PPG is generally considered to be running quite well and has a positive impact, there are several aspects that need to be the attention of PPG organizers for the improvement of PPG in the future.

Abstract Objectives – This study seeks to identify areas where relationships exist between a student’s library usage and student outcomes at Bellarmine University, a private master’s level institution. The study has two primary aims. The first is to see if an operationally oriented user survey can be used to provide evidence of the library’s support for institutionally important student outcomes. The second is to develop a regression model that provides a big picture with multiple variables to determine if library factors are still significant in student outcomes when controlling for significant demographic factors. Methods – The library regularly conducts student user surveys, and this study examines the results of the first three surveys, from 2007, 2008 and 2010. These surveys include individually identifiable data on why students come to the library and how often they use it in person and online. Researchers aggregated student responses into class-based cohorts and used regression analysis to analyze the extent and significance of the relationships, if any, that exist between student use of the library and student outcomes such as retention, graduation and cumulative GPA. The study takes into consideration known significant student demographic factors such as American Collect Testing (ACT) composite score, full- or part-time status, and their session GPA. Results – The study identifies specific library services and resources that have significant correlations with the selected student learning measures and outcomes. For freshman students, the ability to access the library online influences both retention and graduation. In looking at freshman learning outcomes represented by GPA, the results again indicate that the library has a positive influence on a student’s GPA. The library’s influence appears through two factors that highlight the library as a place: providing a place to study alone and as a place that has specialized equipment available to students. The library influences seniors’ cumulative GPA differently than for freshmen, primarily through the library’s role as an information resource. The variable check out books had a positive impact on senior’s GPA. Conclusions – This study indicates that the library does have an influence on student outcomes, whether learning outcomes, represented by cumulative GPA, or more typical student success outcomes, represented by second-year retention and graduation. This is true even when controlling for certain demographics, including the student’s ACT score, whether the student is part-time or full-time, and their session GPA. The factors that influence an individual student’s outcome change depending on the point in time in the undergraduate experience. These statistical analyses provide significant evidence for the value the library provides in support of institutionally important student outcome goals.

I denne artikel præsenterer vi erfaringerne fra et projekt, der har til formål at styrke de studerendes danske, akademiske skrivefærdigheder på uddannelsen It og Sundhed på Københavns Universitet. Projektet bygger på antagelserne, at faglighed og formidlingskompetencer er tæt forbundet, og at sproglig bevidsthed inden for fagets kontekst er et fælles ansvar mellem underviser og studerende. Projektet er knyttet til bachelorkurset i Epidemiologiske metoder, og det er udviklet i samarbejde mellem kursuslederen og en sprogkonsulent i løbet af forårssemestrene 2014 og 2015. Gennem skriftlige afleveringer og formativ feedback på disse har de studerende haft mulighed for at arbejde med deres skriftlige formidling som forberedelse til den skriftlige eksamen i kurset og som styrkelse af deres akademiske skrivefærdigheder generelt. I artiklen beskriver vi baggrunden for projektet og erfaringerne med at udvikle og gennemføre det. Derudover diskuterer vi projektets udbytte samt udfordringerne med at sætte eksplicit fokus på fagets sproglige aspekt. På baggrund af de studerendes eva-luering og eksamensresultater konkluderer vi, at projektet har medvirket til at styrke deres akademiske skriftlighed. In this article, we report on experiences gained from a project designed to improve the Danish academic writing skills of students enrolled on the programme It & Health at the University of Copenhagen. Based on the assumptions that university disciplines and communicative competence are inextricably linked and that language awareness is a joint responsibility between teacher and students, the project focused explicitly on language use on the BSc course Introduction to Epidemiology. Through receiving formative feedback on written assignments, the students got the chance to reflect and work on their writing. This process acted both as preparation for their written exam and a way to improve their academic writing skills in general. The course coordinator worked with a language consultant to develop and refine the project during the spring semesters of 2014 and 2015. In this article, we describe the background to the initiative as well as the experiences of those involved. The learning outcomes are discussed, along with the challenges involved in integrating an explicit focus on language and feedback into students’ disciplinary writing. From the students’ evaluations and their exam results, we conclude that the project had a positive impact on improving the students’ academic writing skills.

Resumen: El modelo de evaluación centrado en la adquisición de competencias genéricas y específicas representa uno de los cambios más significativos del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. El profesorado universitario se enfrenta con un conjunto de competencias, excesivamente amplio, cuya definición entiende con dificultades, pidiéndosele al tiempo que diseñe aquellas metodologías docentes, actividades formativas y sistemas de evaluación que posibiliten a los alumnos la adquisición de tales competencias, en los denominados resultados de aprendizaje.   Este estudio tiene como objetivo prioritario el tratar de determinar cómo han de valorarse y evaluarse las competencias adquiridas por los alumnos en titulaciones jurídico-laborales. Y, más específicamente a dilucidar si los resultados conseguidos en los últimos años, con la modificación de las metodologías docentes y los sistemas de evaluación han sido realmente tan eficaces como se esperaba.Abstract: The evaluation model focused on the acquisition of generic and specific skills represents one of the most significant changes in the European Higher Education Area. The university faculty is faced with a set of competencies, excessively broad, whose definition understands with difficulties, asking at the same time to design those methodologies, technologies and means of evaluation that enable students to acquire such skills in the so-called learning outcomes.  This study has as a priority objective to try to determine how the skills acquired by students in legal-labor qualifications should be assessed. And, more specifically to elucidate whether the results achieved in a few years with the modification of teaching methodologies have been really as positive as expected.

Every teacher must realize that he/she needs to be highly motivated, committed, passionate, and optimistic towards his/her students as well as his/her teaching in order to create a positive and productive impact on the students and their learning outcomes. It is a proven fact that teachers who are sincere, caring, approachable, supportive and inspiring can easily enable their students to become enthusiastic, successful and creative learners. John Hattie, a proponent of Evidence Based Quantitative Research Methodologies on the Influences on Student achievement, who is also a Professor of Education and Director of the Melbourne Education Research Institute at the University of Melbourne, Australia, has noted in his study that a harmonious classroom can assist with the development of creativity as well as reduce anxiety levels amongst students. In my opinion, the primary objective of all effective and conscious teachers should be to promote a safe and healthy learning environment wherein students will feel confident, comfortable, happy and accepted. Time and again, I am convinced of the fact that only effective and conscious teachers understand, acknowledge and therefore, appreciate the significance of creating a rapport and bonding with their students for providing an education that is positive, productive and progressive. When teachers display a positive and congenial attitude towards their students, they not only make them ‘learn better, faster and deeper’ but make them self-confident and self-reliant too. Building positive, supportive, cooperative and mutually strong teacher-student relationships is the key to create a welcoming, healthy and conducive learning space in which students are enabled to thrive, prosper and go on to become what they are meant to be in life. And it is only by forging and nurturing a strong and positive relationship with their students, can teachers create a healthy and conducive learning atmosphere wherein students feel welcome, accepted, respected, loved and cared for, wherein learning becomes fun and joy. Conscious and committed teachers promote the art of positive parenting in every classroom and in every school to enable the students to become confident learners by willingly and happily shouldering the responsibility of being their ‘second parents’.When teachers teach with passion, display positive attitude towards their students and their success, and show genuine care for them, the students reciprocate with respect for their teachers, interest and love for their learning.

Training programmes are evaluated to verify their effectiveness, assess their ability to achieve their goals and identify the areas that require improvement. Therefore, the target of evaluators is to develop an appropriate framework for evaluating training programmes. This study adapted Kirkpatrick’s four-level model of training criteria published in 1959 to evaluate training programmes for head teachers according to their own perceptions and those of their supervisors. The adapted model may help evaluators to conceptualise the assessment of learning outcomes of training programmes with metrics and instruments. The model also helps to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the training process. The adaptation includes concrete metrics and instruments for each of the four levels in the model: reaction criteria, learning criteria, behaviour criteria and results criteria. The adapted model was applied to evaluate 12 training programmes for female head teachers in Saudi Arabia. The study sample comprised 250 trainee head teachers and 12 supervisors. The results indicated that the adapted Kirkpatrick evaluation model was very effective in evaluating educational training for head teachers.
