Abstract

The global business sector has experienced significant growth in the twenty-first century, driving substantial expansion in the global economy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for 58% of Cambodia's GDP and employ more than 70% of the workforce. This study aimed to achieve three objectives: to understand the current state of business owners and enterprise operations in Battambang, to investigate the factors that influence the success of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Battambang and to examine business owners' perceptions of the factors that contribute to the success of SMEs in Battambang. To ensure robust analysis, the collected information was subjected to multiple linear regression, a statistical method widely used in the social sciences, along with percentage, frequency, and averaging methods. The comprehensive findings of this study underscore several key points. First, the majority of business owners are men who have established their companies based on personal experience. Importantly, the study reveals that only two of these four variables are indispensable for business success: demographics and management skills. Demographic factors such as age, gender, education level, business experience, and management skills in planning, organizing, leading, and controlling play crucial roles in the success of SMEs.

Abstract

First-year students face experiences in the primary adjustment stages with their transition to pre-university enrollment, and the experiences are typically highlighted as challenges that will be concentrated significantly in this systematic literature review. This systematic literature review critically synthesizes 20 published articles from 2014 to 2023 on the academic adjustment of first-year students in Cambodian higher education institutions. The qualitative study methods and exploratory design are used, and researchers compiled and evaluated relevant literature focusing on challenges faced by first-year students, factors influencing adjustment, strategies for academic adjustment, and outcomes of adjustment interventions. Data were gathered from reliable databases, and articles meeting predefined criteria were subjected to thematic analysis using Clark and Braunne's Thematic Analysis model. Findings highlight first-year students' challenges, such as academic performance, social identity issues, financial constraints, and language barriers. Factors influencing adjustment include social, personal-emotional, and institutional aspects, underlining the significance of social support and coping strategies. Strategies for academic adjustment focus on effective time management, utilizing support services, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Intervention outcomes aim to enhance first-year students' retention rates, mental health, and academic success. Qualitative research emerged as the predominant approach, enabling researchers to understand nuanced experiences and perspectives.

Abstract

This literature review critically assesses the pros and cons of self-study and self-management, shedding light on their impact on individual learning. The self-study provides flexibility, allowing undergraduate students to customize schedules and fostering autonomy and motivation. However, challenges like maintaining discipline and overcoming isolation are recognized. The review explores psychological benefits, such as improved time management and enhanced problem-solving, alongside drawbacks like procrastination. Affective self-management activities, including goal-setting and active learning, emerge as crucial for self-study success. Future research suggestions include exploring the role of emerging technologies, studying cultural factors, and proposing longitudinal research to assess the sustained effects of self-management activities.

Abstract

This study examines the gender distribution among students, faculty, and administrative staff at the National University of Battambang (NUBB). The research investigates the sociocultural, economic, and institutional barriers to gender equality at the university, assesses the effectiveness of existing gender equality policies and initiatives, and considers the role of university leadership in advancing gender equality and fostering an inclusive culture. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews. The findings reveal that the number of female students significantly exceeds that of male students, yet women constitute less than 25% of the faculty and administrative staff. Despite this disparity, NUBB's commitment to implementing gender equality policies and initiatives is commendable. The university's leadership is dedicated to these efforts and actively supports advancing gender equality, which bodes well for the future. The researchers offer practical recommendations to enhance gender equality at NUBB, contributing to broader efforts to promote gender equity in Cambodian higher education institutions. The results underscore the ongoing need for policy revisions and sustained efforts to address gender imbalances and create a more equitable academic environment.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of factors influencing pronunciation. The study was designed quantitatively. The purposive sampling method was used, and 50 Cambodian EFL students at the National University of Battambang were selected as the sample. The questionnaire was designed in a semi-structured format. The data was analyzed by SPSS. The result showed that most participants believed learning English from a young age leads to better pronunciation. Interestingly, it indicated that the mother tongue (Khmer) influences English pronunciation since learners find it difficult to produce some sounds, especially the /th/sh/f/v/ sound in English, as these sounds do not exist in the sound system of Khmer. Additionally, the majority of the respondents believed that being exposed to an English-speaking environment, including real communication with English native speakers or access to English-speaking learning media, can enhance pronunciation. Last but not least, it was also assumed that feedback on pronunciation errors and motivation contribute to a positive learning process. Therefore, this study provides insight into effective pronunciation instruction.

Abstract

Different types of leaders work in various settings. School directors have always been regarded as essential individuals in school settings, and they are usually regarded as sample individuals for teachers and other educational staff. The current study investigates high school teachers' perceptions of directors' transformational leadership (DTL) in four Cambodian provinces, concentrating on five essential dimensions: idealized influence (attributes), idealized influence (behaviours), inspirational motivation, individual consideration, and intellectual stimulation. Six hundred thirty-nine teachers participated in the study, indicating favourable evaluations of their directors' leadership methods. Although most variables exhibited uniform perceptions, the findings revealed significant differences in inspiring motivation and individual consideration, especially amongst Kampong Cham and Kampong Chhnang teachers. Teachers in Kampong Cham indicated elevated perceptions of motivation and personalized support from their directors, implying that the efficacy of leadership may differ by provincial settings. These findings emphasize the significance of comprehending local dynamics in educational leadership and reinforce the essential function of DTL in cultivating a supportive and motivated atmosphere for teachers. The study underscores the necessity for customized leadership approaches to elevate teacher satisfaction and promote educational findings in Cambodian schools. Last, but not least, it is recommended that future studies be conducted in provinces other than the four that were part of the current study and that the number of participants is increased. Additionally, combination designs and qualitative designs are recommended.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study is part of a bigger quantitative research design aiming to extract the initial teacher collective efficacy and convergent validity. Methodology: This study collected data from 619 teachers in secondary resource schools. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were employed using SPSS and Mplus software to assess validity and reliability. Main Findings: EFA identified two factors with eigenvalues of 5.13 and 1.54, accounting for 55.58% of the variation in teacher collective efficacy. The EFA results showed a single-dimensional factor representing teacher collective efficacy. CFA confirmed that all nine indicators had strong, statistically significant loadings (p < 0.001) ranging from 0.65 to 0.78. Fit indices (CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.96, SRMR = 0.028, RMSEA = 0.057) indicated a very good model fit, supporting the construct validity of the scale. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study advances knowledge by validating the measurement of teacher collective efficacy through rigorous statistical analysis. It provides empirical evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the scale, contributing to a better understanding of collective efficacy in secondary resource schools.

Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions and effects of first-year students at the National University of Battambang (NUBB) regarding the use of technology in English language instruction. Purposive sampling and a structured questionnaire were used to collect data from 205 students in various majors. The analysis employed descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and regression techniques. Findings revealed that online searching was the most commonly used tool (M=1.47), followed by computer software (M=1.53), while mobile applications were considered the most helpful (M=3.30). These results suggest a generally favorable view of technology's role in enhancing English proficiency. A T-test indicated a significant gender difference (p = 0.034 < 0.05), with female students more likely to engage with technology at lower levels. Although most demographic factors did not show significant variation, age emerged as a factor, with older students reporting greater benefits from technology. Hypothesis testing confirmed a positive link between technology use and improved English learning, with the TSLE variable (H4) having an especially powerful impact (β = 0.063, p = 0.000). The study recommends providing specific support to female students in using technology and promoting diverse digital tools to further enhance language learning.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to review the literature on leadership in comparison to transformational leader practices in education and explore the roles, challenges, and its effects. Methodology: This study presents a comprehensive literature review on transformational leadership in education, examining existing knowledge through a wide array of sources, including books, scholarly articles, reports, and credible online sources. Rather than relying on quantitative data and statistical analysis, this research emphasizes an in-depth exploration of the underlying principles and practical applications of transformational leadership in educational contexts. Main Findings: The findings from this study provide policymakers, educators, scholars, and academics with valuable insights into transformational leadership as a powerful driver of organizational change in education. Transformational leaders, through a clear vision for the future, enable staff to elevate organizational performance by moving from low to high achievement levels. By articulating and fostering a shared purpose, transformational leaders empower their teams to implement strategies that directly improve school outcomes. Transformational leadership in education stands as a powerful tool for driving positive change. By inspiring a shared vision, stimulating intellectual growth, building strong relationships, modeling ethical behavior, and empowering individuals, transformational leaders can create a sustainable and impactful legacy in schools. Novelty/Originality of this study: Unlike the other review, this provides uniquely synthesic comparision of transformation leadership style in Western and ASEAN case studies in education with the integration of transformational leadership practices and adaptation with the context of Industry 4.0.
