In the literature on public management, the dominant perspective of professional practice is a concern for lack of political accountability and a risk of self-interested behavior in the interaction with citizens. For many years, performance management has been seen as a solution to this concern. Within the field of professional practice, the dominant perspective is a concern that performance management hijacks the autonomy of professionals and contributes to the proletarization of the professions. Evidence for both perspectives is mixed and there is a lack of knowledge about how professionals handle these claimed conflicts and whether performance management can be seen as a solution to this. The article discusses a particular relationship between management and practice: the professional judgment and concludes that there are two pitfalls to support the quality of professional practice: external goal management of professional practice and the absence of a reflection culture in professional practice. The article is a contribution to the 10th anniversary of the university colleges and can be read as an analysis of the managerial and professional context students will encounter as graduated professionals.

National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) was launched on 29 September 2015 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India to rank the academic & research institutions across the country. The NIRF E-release of India Ranking 2020 was held on 11th June 2020. The present study analyses the top 100 Universities in terms of visualisation of data, the relationship of ranking with the parameters, and the relations among these parameters. Results of the study indicate that the Teaching, Learning & Resources (TLR) score for all the universities was almost similar while Research and Professional Practice (RP) score had a considerable variation and played a significant role in ranking by having a positive linear correlation with the total score with the value of R2= 0.746. RP also has a strong correlation with the Peer Perception (PR) of the university. The average library expenditure of top-10 universities was 9.45 crore per annum. It was also found that library expenditure has a positive correlation with RP and the universities with higher research productivity also have a more outstanding quality of publication in terms of citations.

Self-study skills are one of the soft skills that play an extremely important role for students in the university environment. However, some universities in Vietnam, at present, have not introduced this skill into teaching soft skills, including Tra Vinh University. Self-study skills determine the majority of students’ learning outcomes, but in fact, not many students are aware of this. By questionnaires and in-depth interviews conducted in May 2019, the authors wish to present the current situation of self-study skills of students of the Department of State Management, Office Administration and Tourism, thereby proposing solutions of integrating self-study skills into specialized knowledge teaching in order to improve the learning quality of students of the Faculty in particular and Tra Vinh University in general.

Artikkelens formål er å skape økt innsikt i hvordan de forandringer vi ser i statlige styringsdokumenter og fagmiljøers emneplaner for den norske Rektor-utdanningen, uttrykker endringer i hvilke kunnskapsformer som vektlegges. Ut fra de endringene vi finner, tar vi opp til diskusjon i hvilken grad Rektor-utdanningen møter sentrale utfordringer som fremheves i nyere nasjonal og internasjonal debatt om hva som vil være viktige kompetanser for ledere i fremtidens skole. Med utgangspunkt i Aristoteles’ kunnskapsbegreper “episteme”, “tekhne” og “phronesis” analyseres endringer i Utdannings-direktoratets anbudsdokumenter for perioden 2009–2014 i forhold til perioden 2015–2020. Gjennom dokumentanalyse undersøker vi hvilke former for kunnskap som blir sett på som sentrale i Rektorutdanningen i de to periodene. Vi etterspør også hvordan endringene følges opp i plandokumenter for universitets- og høyskolemiljøer som er gitt i oppdrag å gjennomføre Rektorutdanningen. Funnene diskuteres i forhold til dagsaktuelle nasjonale og internasjonale utdanningspolitiske dokumenter og forskningsarbeider.I Utdanningsdirektoratets styringsdokumenter for Rektorutdanningen finner vi i noen grad en utvikling fra en instrumentelt orientert rektorrolle basert på resultatstyring, til en mer systemisk orientert rektorrolle der faglig ledelse av kollegabasert profesjonsutvikling vektlegges. Pedagogisk ledelse trer sterkere frem i de nye anbudsdokumentene, og det legges vekt på at skoleledere skal få utvidet forståelse for sitt handlingsrom til å lede utvikling av skolen ut fra sitt eget faglige skjønn. Det er likevel et spørsmål om grunnlagsdokumentene for den nasjonale Rektorutdanningen for perioden 2015–2020 fullt ut møter dagsaktuelle utfordringer for skoleledelse som OECD og NOU 2015:8 “Fremtidens skole” trekker opp. Dette spørsmålet forsterkes når vi ser at plandokumentene for universiteter og høyskoler som tilbyr Rektorutdanningen, i ulik grad vektlegger endringene i Utdanningsdirektoratets styringsdokumenter.Nøkkelord: skoleledelse, rektorutdanning, profesjonsutvikling, fremtidens skole, organisasjonslæringAbstractThe purpose of this article is to make greater insight into how the changes we see in various policy documents and plans for the Norwegian Principal Education Program, express a trend of change in emphasized knowledge forms. Based on Aristotle’s concepts of knowledge “episteme”, “tekhne” and “phronesis”, the changes in the tender documents from the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training for the period 2009–2014 are analyzed and compared against the period 2015–2020. Through analyses of documents we investigate which knowledge forms are seen as the central ones in the Principal Education Program in these two periods. We also study how changes are reflected in plan documents for universities and university colleges that offer the Principal Education Program. The findings are discussed in relation to contemporary national and educational policy plans and research.In policy plans for the Principal Education Program issued by the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training, we find to some extent an evolution from an instrumentally oriented principal role based on performance management, towards a more systemicly oriented principal role where professional management of peer professional development is emphasized. Educational management has a stronger position in the new tender documents, and it is emphasized that educational leaders should have an extended understanding of their freedom of action to guide the development of the school, based on their own professional judgment. It is still a question whether the Fundamental Plans for the National Principal Education Program for the period 2015–2020 fully meet the contemporary challenges for education management as OECD and NOU 2015:8 “The school of the future” outline. This question is reinforced when we see that the plan documents for universities and university colleges that offer the Principal Education Program, to varying degrees emphasize the changes in the policy plans from the Directorate for Education and Training.Keywords: educational management, professional development, Principal Education Program, “The school of the future”, organizational learning

New public management is a new concept in public administration science. This concept is results oriented, transparency and accountability of administrative services. Performance management is the key to results orientation. The Performance Management System is a record of the inputs, processes, outputs and results of government procedures. This helps to achieve the government's progress towards the goals. The Research goals to introduce the concept of performance management of the state civil servants in Indonesia as a new public management concept. The research used qualitative methods in the analysis of the research object. The results show that the bureaucracy that is complicated and still lacks quality of public services has become the curse of public administration science in Indonesia. The ASN performance management concept as a new performance-based public management is a breakthrough that can improve ASN performance which in the end has an impact on the performance of public services.

Civil Service has a task to secure, support and improve the nation it serves. All over the world, each and every public and civil servant plays a vital role in fulfilling this task and so improving the lives of their corresponding citizens. Over the generations civil service has helped successive governments to overcome exclusive and complex challenges. Hence, performance and quality of civil service is very important. Improving performance quality of civil service is a public personnel management process by which the public organizations determine how effectively the employees are performing the job and improve performance to achieve the ultimate goals. Public sector organizations are playing an increasingly important role towards development of Bangladesh by providing a range of services. Bangladesh started promoting quality of civil service under the rubric of the ‘Structural Adjustment’ in the era of New Public Management. This paper attempts to analyze the present state and limitations of performance management and provide some suggestions to promote quality of civil service in order to improve the overall performance of the Government of Bangladesh.

When interacting on a learning task, which is typical of several academic situations, individuals may experience two different motives: Understanding the problem, or showing their competences. When a conflict (confrontation of divergent propositions) emerges from this interaction, it can be solved either in an epistemic way (focused on the task) or in a relational way (focused on the social comparison of competences). The latter is believed to be detrimental for learning. Moreover, research on cooperative learning shows that when they share identical information, partners are led to compare to each other, and are less encouraged to cooperate than when they share complementary information. An epistemic vs. relational conflict vs. no conflict was provoked in dyads composed by a participant and a confederate, working either on identical or on complementary information (N = 122). Results showed that, if relational and epistemic conflicts both entailed more perceived interactions and divergence than the control group, only relational conflict entailed more perceived comparison activities and a less positive relationship than the control group. Epistemic conflict resulted in a more positive perceived relationship than the control group. As far as performance is concerned, relational conflict led to a worse learning than epistemic conflict, and - after a delay - than the control group. An interaction between the two variables on delayed performance showed that epistemic and relational conflicts were different only when working with complementary information. This study shows the importance of the quality of relationship when sharing information during cooperative learning, a crucial factor to be taken into account when planning educational settings at the university.

The conditions are investigated in which Spanish university teachers carry out their teaching and research functions. 655 teachers from the University of Oviedo took part in this study by completing the Academic Setting Evaluation Questionnaire (ASEQ). Of the three dimensions assessed in the ASEQ, Satisfaction received the lowest ratings, Social Climate was rated higher, and Relations with students was rated the highest. These results are similar to those found in two studies carried out in the academic years 1986/87 and 1989/90. Their relevance for higher education is twofold because these data can be used as a complement of those obtained by means of students' opinions, and the crossing of both types of data can facilitate decision making in order to improve the quality of the work (teaching and research) of the university institutions.

Quality of life and satisfaction with life as tightly interconnected concepts have become of much importance in the urbanism era. No doubt, it is one of the most important goals of every human society to enhance a citizen’s quality of life and to increase their satisfaction with life. However, there are many signs which demonstrate the low level of life satisfaction of Iranian citizens especially among the youth. Thus, considering the temporal concept of life satisfaction, this research aims to make a futures study in this field. Therefore, using a mixed model and employing research methods from futures studies, life satisfaction among the students of the University of Tehran were measured and their views on this subject investigated. Both quantitative and qualitative data were analysed together in order to test the hypotheses and to address the research questions on the youth discontentment with quality of life. Findings showed that the level of life satisfaction among students is relatively low and their image of the future is not positive and not optimistic. These views were elicited and discussed in the social, economic, political, environmental and technological perspectives. Keywords:  futures studies, quality of life, satisfaction with life, youth
