This paper charts the history and debates surrounding the introduction of academic, university-based training of nurses in South Africa. This was a process that was drawn out over five decades, beginning in the late 1930s. For nurses, university training was an important part of a process of professionalization; however, for other members of the medical community, nursing was seen as being linked to women's service work. Using the case-study of the University of the Witwatersrand, one of South Africa's premier universities and the place in the country to offer a university-based nursing program, we argue that an historical understanding of the ways in which nursing education was integrated into the university system tells us a great deal about the professionalization of nursing. This paper also recognises, for the first time, the pioneers of this important process.

The purpose of this article is to reveal personal manifestations and confirmations of students' self-fulfillment in order to identify their psychological well-being in the process of learning in the Russian higher school. The study applied the method of thesaurus analysis by which the authors processed students' responses during a special survey. This method made it possible to highlight the semantic markers of students' self-fulfillment with their subsequent clustering into three sense thesauri: the thesaurus of self-fulfillment readiness; thesaurus of the self-fulfillment actions; thesaurus of self- fulfillment activators. In accordance with the data of the survey, the study identified three leading narrative dominants of students' psychological well-being in learning: ego-inclusion in the educational process, comprehensive disclosure of personal abilities and acceptance in the university community. These dominants formed the basis for a special study to determine the level of students' self-fulfillment and their psychological well-being in university training. The summarized results showed that the process of university education provides the necessary conditions and opportunities for self-fulfillment of most of the students surveyed in the study.

The final stage of university formation at any level (BA, MA, PhD) represents a very important turning point in the student’s path, as it constitutes a transition bridge for the student from one position to a better position, and in which the student’s personality is built in its various cognitive and skills aspects. The outputs of the stage are considered the most important inputs in the university educational process for a more advanced stage. Our study comes to shed light on the process of supervising the graduation notes from the point of view of the graduation students of the Faculty of Economic, Business, and Management Sciences at the University of Bordj Bou Arereig, considering this stage is one of the most important approaches to achieving the quality of university education outputs, and coming up with recommendations that increase interest in this aspect. In order to improve the level of manpower working in this institution, especially the teaching component, which is the university professor, the quality of university training is mainly related to its quality, as it is considered the most important element or key in the quality of higher education, which contributes to providing distinguished services. At the end of the study, we aim to reach the most prominent challenges and difficulties that students face during the supervision process in order to improve the process in the future and thus improve the educational process outcomes.

The Project for the Civic and Environmental Commons is a cluster of initiatives, started by the Appalachian Center, University of Kentucky, in 1999, to support academic/ citizen partnerships in action research for equity and sustainability in the Appalachian region. It tries to serve as a bridge between movements within and outside academe. First, it attempts to link the university with the global movement for community-based development. A ferment of creativity in the nongovernmental sector in the last two decades has generated a rich variety of research methods (especially in participatory and place-based techniques for community assessment) and new organizational models for decentralized and democratic planning. The Project attempts to channel new techniques and models from this grassroots experimentation into university training and research, and to provide whatever support academics can give to citizen-led, community-based development. Second, the Project for the Civic and Environmental Commons tries to join this community-based work with reform movements within higher education that argue that institutional change is necessary for higher education to adequately respond to emerging problems of the 21st century. Those who call for a "New Academy" and for "public scholars" argue that much of academic research needs to be more targeted to meeting public needs and problems, and that the professionalization process needs to do a better job of producing scholars who are intellectually and emotionally able to engage in community-based work.

This paper stresses the importance of entrepreneurial university towards improving sustainable job creation and improvement in Uganda. The dilemmas the country is facing ranges from excessive poverty, graduate unemployment; over dependence on overseas items and technology; as well as low economic growth and development. These dilemmas are partly triggered by using improper education system especially at the university level. Many people argue that university education in Uganda is principally for its very own sake – to impart knowledge and a love of getting to know with greater paper qualifications. University training is for academic superiority disconnected from day-to-day realities, a closed environment in which information and intellect is the sanctuary of the self-selecting, privileged few – no grasp of what is vital for ordinary people. Yet the fact of university schooling is about helping humans grow in their lives by supporting them to live better life. This paper hence contends that change of universities in Uganda, from ivory tower to entrepreneurial universities, will prepare the students with the conduct, states of mind and attitudes with which to be self-reliant and contribute to job creation and advancement. The paper starts by highlighting the concept of university as an ivory tower. The objectives and framework for designing entrepreneurial university is presented next. The paper suggests that university programmes at all levels of instruction ought to be made significant to the community so as to supply the youth with the required entrepreneurial aptitude.

  El objetivo fue analizar el nivel de penetración de técnicas de desarrollo de la inteligencia emocional (IE) y en particular del mindfulness, así como las posibles dificultades de la práctica en la clase de educación física (EF) percibidas por los docentes. Se elaboró un cuestionario tipo Likert con 20 ítems con cuatro dimensiones referidos a los docentes: formación universitaria, experiencia personal, desarrollo profesional y dificultades de aplicación en las clases y fue distribuido por internet al territorio Español siendo respondida por 79 docentes de EF de la etapa de Secundaria (41 mujeres y 38 hombres), con una media de edad de 38.5 ± 8.8. Para determinar la fiabilidad del cuestionario se realizó el análisis exploratorio y confirmatorio, se encontró otro modelo alternativo de cuestionario que permite más estudios con mayor índice de ajuste en los resultados. La metodología aplicada fue cuantitativa con un diseño transversal y procedimiento selectivo. Los resultados reflejaron que el 81% de los docentes recibieron una escasa formación universitaria frente a un 19% que afirmaron que sí la habían recibido. También se destacó el escaso desarrollo profesional (47% planificaban contenidos para desarrollar la IE, frente a un 53%), siendo ambos factores los que más dificultades generaron al incluir las técnicas de desarrollo de habilidades emocionales en las clases. Además se observó un efecto significativo en la edad, el sexo y los años de experiencia de los docentes (p≤ .05) en la inclusión de técnicas de desarrollo de la IE. Los resultados concluyeron que las dificultades más destacadas por los profesores son la escasa formación recibida en la universidad y el desconocimiento del mindfulness como técnica innovadora y sus beneficios.  Abstract. The objective was to analyze the level of inclusion of techniques for the development of emotional intelligence (EI) and mindfulness in particular, as well as the possible difficulties perceived by the teachers when imparting a physical education (PE) class. A Likert-type questionnaire of 20 items spread amongst four dimensions (university education, personal experience, professional development, and difficulties in applying it in class) was developed and distributed online within the Spanish territory. 79 PE teachers of the secondary school answered the questionnaire (41 women and 38 men), with an average of 38.5 ± 8.8 years. To determine the reliability of the questionnaire, an exploratory and confirmatory analysis was carried out, bringing as result an alternative questionnaire model which provided a higher reliability index of adjustment in the results. The applied methodology was quantitative with a cross-sectional design and selective procedure. The results reflected that 81% of teachers received little university training compared to 19% who stated that they had received it, the scarce professional development was also highlighted (47% planned content to develop EI, compared to 53%), both factors representing the main source of difficulties generation for teachers when including emotional skills development techniques in their classes. In addition, a significant impact was observed in the age, gender and years of experience of the teachers (p≤ .05) including EI development techniques. The results concluded that the most notable difficulties for the teachers are: the scarce training received at the university and the ignorance of mindfulness as an innovative technique and its benefits.
