Epistemology in Engineering Education: An Overview

Epistemology is a branch of philosophy, a study of how a person knows and knowing. Engineering epistemology is one of the new disciplines in engineering education research. Unfortunately, little research has been done on engineering education. In this paper, epistemology is discussed in the general context then, specifically for the engineering education context. Furthermore, the engineering epistemology framework and instrument to investigate engineering epistemology among engineering educators and students have been presented. Theory for knowledge development has been discussed in general and how that developmental model is important for higher education. Finally, epistemology in teaching and learning has been introduced in the context of engineering educators and engineering students. In summary, engineering educators’ epistemology will shape future engineers based on their class design. Therefore, developing engineering students from dualists to commitments of the relativist is very important. Finally, suggestions for engineering faculty management in developing engineering educators and engineering students for a better teaching and learning experience are provided.

artikel manajemen administrasi sekolah

Administrasi sangat dibutuhkan bagi kelangsungan proses belajar mengajar pada global pendidikan. Semua itu nir tanggal menurut keaktifan orang-orang yg menguasai administrasi pada sekolah. Orang acapkalikali menduga enteng administrasi tadi, padahal bila administrasi dipegang sama orang-orang yg kurang terampil maka administrasi tadi akan berantakan. Orang yg memegang administrasi merupakan orang yg telah terlatih pada bidangnya (orang yg telah menerima ilmu/ pelatihan). Administrasi nir hanya pada hal keuangan saja namun pula pada kerapian/keteraturan kita pada pembukuan. Administrasi nir hanya dilakukan pada ketika eksklusif saja namun setiap hari secara sistematis. Keberhasilan pendidikan dalam sekolah harus ditunjang oleh pelayanan administrasi sekolah yang teratur, terarah & terencana. Di mana dalam pelaksanaannya harus mengikuti arah jaman yang semakin bersaing & semakin modern. Untuk itu, perlu adanya pembagian tugas ketatausahaan yang kentara & terprogram dalam setiap sekolah.Administration is wanted for the continuity of the coaching and getting to know technique in worldwide schooling. All of that isn't dated in line with the sports of the those who manage management on the faculty. People regularly assume that the management is easy, despite the fact that if the management is dealt with through those who are much less professional then the management will fall apart. People who maintain management are humans who've been skilled of their fields (humans who've acquired knowledge/training). Administration isn't best in phrases of finances, however additionally on our neatness/regularity in bookkeeping. Administration isn't best carried out on an different foundation however each day systematically. The fulfillment of schooling in faculties need to be supported through regular, directed and deliberate faculty management services. Where in its implementation need to observe the route of an more and more more aggressive and cutting-edge era. For this reason, it's far essential to have a clean and programmed department of administrative obligations in every faculty.

Models of sports student exchange and the role of their support systems

Establishing student exchange programs is one way for sports science faculty to support the University to be a world-class university. For several years the faculty has been hosting several batches of a sports students exchange (SSE) program that gains interest and benefits for the students and the institution; however, limited studies have been conducted to present information about the program and its support system. This research is conducted to explain and give an overview of the program as well as explore the support system of the program. Three primary data, namely a depth-interview, questionnaire, and documentation, are gathered to explore the SSE program. The participants are lectures, faculty management, and students involved in the SSE in 2018-2019. The existence of the SSE program was exceedingly influenced by the faculty participation in AUCPESS. A grant from the Dharmasiswa Scholarship that aimed to bolster the exchange of culture and build up the Faculty's International atmosphere was the first booster. However, after the funding stopped, the program ran independently with non-financial support from Rector, faculty management, partner universities, and students. Hence, funding is not a pivotal issue as long as the University and faculty management eager to support the program.

Fra motstand til endring? Endringsprosesser i organisasjonen

From Resistance to Change? Processes for Change Within an Organization Management is often identified as the key to success when changing an organization. In chapter ten, the role of the management team in gender equality work is analysed, as well as what the team needs in order to address these issues. But has the faculty management team’s commitment to gender equality work had any effects on the organization? Has the discourse changed? Are things done differently? This chapter analyzes the effects of the management team’s efforts by studying a seminar series for PhD supervisors. The series consists of two parts: five seminars before the management team embarked on gender equality work, and seven seminars after. The data show that when the management team clearly stated that gender-related challenges remained within the faculty and offered a theoretical approach and method for the organization’s gender equality work, the seminar discussions moved from resistance, denial and ambivalence, to an interest in understanding one’s own role and potential for improving gender equality. When the management team contributed to the knowledge base through education in gender perspectives and offered a method for the organizational work that all employees could apply in their everyday activities, this opened opportunities for change at all levels in the organization.

Fra unntak til norm – å utvikle resiliens i et nettverk

From Exception to Norm – the Development of Resilience in a Network Combining gender theory with research on resilience, this chapter analyzes the effects of an action research project aimed at increasing the number of women in senior research positions at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Oslo University. As a part of the project, the faculty management nominated fifteen women professors and associate professors to attend a programme to improve their skills in writing articles and research applications. Individual interviews with all participants prior to the programme revealed that they would prefer to build a network where they could share experiences and discuss various topics. The two-year programme was therefore structured as a forum where we as action researchers offered theoretical input on topics chosen by the participants and worked with dialogue tools, focusing on these topics, in a structured and time-efficient exchange of experiences. The analysis shows that resilience is an essential skill in organizations characterized by critical scrutiny and competition. In the chapter, we describe how the network participants become more resilient by reflecting themselves in, and sharing experiences with, each other. Being in a context with other recognized top researchers without being the odd one out – the woman who has to prove herself – improves the ability to cope with adversity.

Conclusion

In this chapter the editors pull together key themes emerging from the previous chapters and consider how this volume may help direct future work on transforming higher education in order to eradicate gender-based violence (GBV). They reflect on the importance of theorizing about GBV in the higher education context. Paying attention to the language and concepts used, ensuring perpetrators are in the picture rather than obscured, and adopting an intersectional approach are all important aspects of scholarship and practice. The chapter examines the central role of students as both objects and subjects of transformation; their work as activists is essential to transforming student norms and practices. It also reflects on the importance of collaborations between various actors (students, staff, faculty, management, and community organizations). To be effective in transforming the power that enables GBV to persist, these collaborations, and scholarship, must be explicitly power-conscious.
