Organisation of Distance Learning in an International Educational Environment: Online Course «Supply Chain Finance»

The article gives a short overview of theories on didactics and distance learning used in the framework of an online course in English, given by a senior lecturer from the Netherlands (HAN) to students of the faculty of Economics of Chelyabinsk State University (CSU), to let students get experience in distance learning in an international educational environment and acquire knowledge on the topic Supply Chain Finance (SCF). The teaching material of the course was represented by six lectures recorded by J. Jansen and available online (www.principlesofsupplychainfinance.nl/scf-course/). Combination of the recorded lectures and interactive online seminars for discussion of home assignments allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the topic SCF. Finally, the course was finished with an individual online oral exam. Students and teaching staff of CSU evaluated this extra-curricular course. This pilot of distance learning will be developed into a course of a master programme at the faculty of Economics of CSU. The educational theories of Biggs, Bloom, Hattie, Garrison, Vaughan, Klabbers, Sousa and Kolb were applied to provide students with the best modern experience of distance learning.

An Assessment of the Staff Strength of the University for Development Studies in the Light of the Standards Recommended by the National Council of Tertiary Education for Teaching Staff in Ghana's Public Universities

The paper examines the staff strength of the University for Development Studies (UDS) in the light of the standard recommended by the National Council of Tertiary Education (NCTE) for staffing in Ghana's public universities, with an emphasis on Teaching Staff (TS). The study uses the University's 2020/2021 Academic Year payroll data, which was analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2016 for Windows. The study found that, apart from the Lecturer rank that had a staff surplus of 65, the rest of the ranks consisting of Professor, Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer ranks did not meet the recommended standard by NCTE. The study also revealed that the number of female TS was much lower than that of their male counterparts for all ranks. The paper recommends that University Management should encourage all TS to publish more articles in reputable journals along with community service and teaching; in order to facilitate their promotion to higher ranks. The University should target candidates with final degrees for further recruitment in order to reduce the long waiting period required for staff with a master's degree to rise to higher ranks.

Sound Patterns as Connectors: An Experimental Production of Three Sisters

The actor is tasked with embodying text in order to portray the characters’ intentions. This article shows that such a complex task escalates when the actor performs in a second language. In South Africa, where eleven official languages are embraced, the multiplicity and crossover of spoken languages is a daily challenge for actors and theatre makers, leading to a preference for physical performances, which limits the use of text. The production of embodied sound patterns embedded in a text informed the creative process of an experimental production of Chekhov’s Three Sisters. It was created with a second-language cast (speakers of Setswana and Afrikaans) whose over-arching goal was to consider the embodied patterns of pre-linguistic expression as a theatre-making tool. When reflecting on their work, the actors indicated that their explorations facilitated a connection with the text in English and generated the relevant dynamics for the play’s sociopolitical themes to be adequately ‘translated’ to a contemporary multilingual South African context. Karina Lemmer is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Performing Arts at Tshwane University of Technology in Gauteng, where she teaches acting and voice. She has directed a number of multilingual productions, including Buried Voices (2018) and Motlotlegi (2019), and has published in the Voice and Speech Review (2018).

FLEXIBLE WELLBEING AND ORGANIZATIONAL CREATIVITY: PERSONALITY TRAITS ROLE

Organizational creativity is indispensable in a highly competitive and dynamic academic environment; and the role of individuals is mostly unquantifiable. Hence the study argued that the ideas, novel research output, patents, grants of the academic staff depend on the flexible wellbeing of the workforce which is at a low level in Nigeria. Thus, the paper investigated the role of personality traits on the relationship between flexible wellbeing and organizational creativity. The paper implemented a cross-sectional survey research design and collated data from six hundred and twenty-one academic staff ranked from Senior Lecturer to Professor from eight selected private universities in South-West, Nigeria through applying multi-stage random sampling technique. Reliable and validated tests were conducted on the adapted questionnaire before it was used for the study. The result from hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS add-on called process analysis revealed that personality traits have a moderating effect on the interactions between flexible wellbeing and organizational creativity (ΔR2 = 0.014, ΔF(1, 528) = 13.579, p < 0.05). Management to tailor wellbeing policies and practices to workers’ creative drive as there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to designing an effective flexible wellbeing strategy.
