Abstract

This study explored academic advisors’ perceptions toward academic advising implemented at public universities of Malaysia. Using a qualitative research design with cross-site analysis strategy approach, interviews were conducted with eight academic advisors from four Malaysian public universities. Each interview session was assisted by the interview protocol. The interview was recorded and transcribed verbatim. The qualitative data was analysed in the form of thematic analysis with the assistance of NVivo12. Several themes emerged from the initial analysis. Further analysis using several coding and themes revealed one advanced theme namely the outcomes of academic advising and four sub-themes related to student development: academic development, personal development, social development, and career development. This study found that academic development, personal development and career development were the first, second, and third themes most stated while the subtheme social development was hardly stated by the academic advisors when asked regarding their perceptions towards academic advising. The finding of this study implies that social development of students was not part of academic advising tasks of academic advisors from the perspective of Malaysian public universities.

Abstract

In the context of Vietnam's efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), improving the quality of the healthcare workforce, particularly in the pharmacy sector, plays a foundational role. This article analyzes the role of educational accreditation as a strategic tool for training a generation of pharmacists who meet the demands of sustainable development. Using a literature review method and analyzing policy documents, the paper clarifies the multidimensional relationship between accreditation of pharmacy training programs and the implementation of these goals, particularly Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages). The study indicates that, despite encouraging results (with 22 accredited pharmacy training programs by September 2024), the biggest challenge remains the shift from a “compliance” mindset to the creation of a true “quality culture” in training institutions, along with challenges related to resource limitations and the applicability of accreditation standards. Based on this, the paper proposes coordinated solutions involving government authorities, educational institutions, and society to improve the effectiveness of accreditation efforts, contributing to national healthcare security and promoting sustainable development.
