In recent decades, a series of changes has shaped a model for universities backing new ways of understanding education and educational institutions in our societies. The appearance of completely online universities and traditional university departments offering online programmes, openly and en masse, bear witness to this. All these changes are an opportunity to rethink the role and function of universities in our increasingly interconnected and global societies. In what follows, we propose our contribution to this debate by focusing on the specific case of the “Universitat Oberta de Catalunya” (UOC), an online university of the Spanish educational system.

Scholarship exploring the makeup, function, and efficacy of collegial governance structures within the context of Canadian higher education is limited and primarily focused on the board or the senate. This paper expands that scholarship by focusing on the governance structures of the university library. The objective of this study was to determine the extent of library councils in Canadian universities and to examine their composition, role, and function as evidenced in their governing documents. Using Karl Mannheim’s document method to analyze the terms of reference of 23 library councils, findings reveal that, overwhelmingly, library councils function as information-sharing and discussion forums rather than decision-making bodies. The paper concludes with a review of progressive language and governance practice as gathered from the document analysis.

Historically, the surau has become an important means (institution/agency) in terms of community development and enlightenment, particularly in religious learning and cultivation of moral values. In addition, the surau-based education had a significant reputation with regard to the spread of Islam to various regions and the area around an island and beyond, and probably to other countries. As a means of religious education, we can still find surau until now, although its role and function are no longer the same as they were in the past, in which educational activities of Islam in the early days of its growth were carried out under the surau educational system. Thus, since the beginning of the spread of Islam to Indonesia, surau has contributed the shape and pattern of its own in the Islamic educational system

Discipline culture is a reflection of the quality of educational institutions. The low level of discipline is the main problem of every educational institution. The role of leadership is very much needed in overcoming this problem. This paper aims to describe the leadership role of madrasah principals in improving the disciplinary culture of students at MAS Patra Mandiri Plaju Palembang. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analytic study method. Data were collected using interview techniques, observation and documentation study. The results of this study indicate that the headmaster of MAS Patra Mandiri Plaju Palembang has played its role and function in improving the disciplinary culture of students in a fairly good category. This is supported by 2 factors, namely (1) the role models of madrasah principals in complying with school regulations; and (2) socialization of school discipline rules and sanctions for violations. The obstacles faced by madrasah principals are (1) there are still some teachers who do not exemplify student attitudes; and (2) there are still students who are not "deterred" to be given disciplinary violations.

E-learning has made its entrance into educational institutions. Compared to traditional learning methods, e-learning has the benefit of enabling educational institutions to attract more students. E-learning not only opens up for an increased enrollment, it also gives students who would otherwise not be able to take the education to now get the possibility to do so. This paper introduces Axel Honneth’s theory on the need for recognition as a framework to understand the role and function of interaction in relation to e-learning. The paper argues that an increased focus on the dialectic relationship between recognition and learning will enable an optimization of the learning conditions and the interactive affordances targeting students under e-learning programs. The paper concludes that the engagement and motivation to learn are not only influenced by but depending on recognition.

AbstractThis paper is based on research results that describe the role and function of foundations in fostering madrasas. His findings indicate that the weakening of the role and function of foundations in fostering madrasas, especially in their control functions, results in the existence of madrasas that are unable to compete with educational institutions at the same level as their surroundings. The transfer of control functions by the foundation to a madrasah head indicates that the management process has not been fully developed as a collaborative process between the foundation, the head, and the madrasah committee. The government itself has only played a role at the level of administrative guidance for madrasah institutions and has not yet touched on the aspect of foundations as the owner of madrasah institutions. Therefore, steps are needed to increase the role of foundations in fostering madrasas through strengthening institutional management, strengthening human resources for teaching and education personnel as well as adequate infrastructure to drive the pace of madrasah institutional organization. Supported and strengthened by refreshing mutual agreement in carrying out the vision and mission of madrasah management to achieve shared goals. The knot point, among others, lies in the leadership of the foundation and the head of the madrasa which is strengthened by empowerment support by the government.AbstrakTulisan ini bersumber dari hasil penelitian yang menggambarkan peran dan fungsi yayasan dalam membina madrasah. Temuannya menunjukkan bahwa dengan melemahnya peran dan fungsi yayasan dalam membina madrasah, khususnya pada fungsi pengendalian, berakibat pada eksistensi madrasah yang tidak mampu berkompetisi dengan lembaga pendidikan setingkat di sekitarnya. Penyerahan fungsi pengendalian oleh yayasan pada seorang kepala madrasah, mengindikasikan bahwa proses manajemen belum sepenuhnya dibangun sebagai suatu proses kerjasama antara yayasan, kepala dan komite madrasah. Pihak pemerintah sendiri baru berperan pada tataran pembinaan administratif kelembagaan madrasah dan belum menyentuh pada aspek yayasan sebagai pemilik kelembagaan madrasah. Oleh karena itu diperlukan langkah peningkatan peran yayasan dalam membina madrasah melalui penguatan manajemen kelembagaan, penguatan SDM tenaga pendidik dan tenaga kependidikan serta sarana prasarana yang memadai untuk menggerakkan lajunya organisasi kelembagaan madrasah. Didukung dan diperkuat dengan penyegaran kembali kesepakatan bersama dalam mengemban visi misi pengelolaan madrasah untuk mencapai tujuan bersama yang dinginkan. Titik simpulnya antara lain ada pada kepemimpinan yayasan dan kepala madrasah yang diperkuat dengan dukungan pemberdayaan oleh pemerintah.

Higher Educational

Higher education is all about people and management. The success of the higher educational institutions revolves largely around the quality of the research and the faculty. This emphasizes the need of a strong financial base to deliver a quality education to students. In the present scenario, which is characterized by intense information flow, dynamism, progress, growth, and continuous challenging environment, the higher educational institutions hold an important place. The present study focuses on exploring the relationship between human capital management and human resource development (HRD) climate. For the research purpose, two universities, University of Jammu and University of Kashmir, have been taken. The model derived by applying a confirmatory factor analysis in the present research study depicts a linkage between human capital management and HRD climate, and if applied in the institutions of higher education by customizing according to their needs and requirements, it would help in attaining the vision as perceived by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry for 2030 in attaining overall excellence in higher education sector in India. So, it is very important to develop research focused universities with community participation which could deliver high quality research output and research focused graduates and lead to creating a NALANDA for the new millennia.
