Abstract

ABSTRACT: Democratization of education implied that all children of school age should have the right to be in schools and also have the right to be assisted to achieve as much as what their cohorts have achieved or what has been specified by the curriculum. However, owing to variations in factors such as family economic and education backgrounds, ethnicity, school locations, school and teacher distributions, allocation of school funds, diversity in the implementations of specific reforms, the presence of physically and mentally handicapped students and parent-teacher association involvement in school activity; accessibility and achievement fell short of the expectation. In examining the current forms of policy implementation and reforms discrepancies found run not only counter to the sacred doctrine of democratization of education but also work against the sacred goals of providing equal education opportunity for all children. Streaming according to performance, despite having its own advantages, does not help in either accessibility or achievement and thereby antithetical to equity. Therefore, the current practices in the implementation of the policy and reforms should be re-examined within the context of a reliable framework, so that remedial and much more innovative considerations such as purposeful distributions of teachers, making additional fund available for needy schools, streaming according to the needs of children to be able to learn effectively, and dispensing some allocation and organizational skills to educate parents to be actively involved in school activities can purposefully be undertaken.                                                            KEY WORDS: Equity in education, education policy in Malaysia, re-examining policy in education, and education and equity.===About the Author: Prof. Dr. Abu Bakar Nordin is an Emeritus Professor at the Faculty of Education UM (University of Malaya), 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Since the late 1950s, a number of researchers have theorized about the nature of job satisfaction and developed models which attempt to explain differences of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is a major concern of managers in business, executives in industry, and teachers and administration in educational organization. It is clear that very little research on university faculty job satisfaction has come from the developing world like Vietnam. This aim of this study was to determine the specific factors that affected the job satisfaction of academic members both universities. The study used a questionnaire to survey with 141 academic members from two public universities of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam which selected as a statistical sample. The study showed that academic members of two universities were only a moderate level of job satisfaction. However, faculty members in the University of Technology were more satisfied than faculty members in the University of Science. The present analysis found that no significant differences existed job satisfaction of academic members among the two universities; but, there were significant difference between male and female faculty. In addition, male faculty members were generally more satisfied than female colleagues. The study also recognized that job satisfaction of academic members were significantly affected by their work time and institutional characteristics.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of goal setting and mental imagery as two methods of psychological skill training on learning achievement of badminton motor skill. Fifty beginning female athletes at 10-12 years old (M = 10.8) from Bandung FPOK UPI Badminton School were divided into four experimental groups and one control group in random. Before getting the treatment, all groups carried out motor ability test, then all experimental groups were given following instructional about goal setting, mental imagery training, and badminton motor skill materials according to experimental condition in each group. It was hypothesized that shifting goal would more improve the development of high service and defensive clear skill than process goal, and mental imagery training would more enhance high service and defensive clear skill than without mental imagery training. The result of data computation by two ways factorial ANCOVA showed that goal setting and mental imagery training method given a significant main effect, but no interaction both of them. Furthermore, the result of means adjusted pair comparison analysis indicated that the effectiveness of mental imagery training influenced by goal setting but not vice versa. Mental imagery process of the mental imagery training group was significantly higher than without mental imagery training, and all experimental groups have a significantly learning achievement higher than control group.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Education at all levels is an avenue for economic, political, social, and cultural mobility. The Education for All movement, having the education for all and millennium development goals, has the ultimate aim of sustainable development. Hence, teachers and students are some of the keys to achieve the vision of K (Kindergarten) to 12 years education program from the Department of Education in the Philippines. This descriptive study sets out an initial attempt to investigate teachers and students’ knowledge, observations, beliefs on the benefits, and the potential threats in the implementation of grades 7 and 8 Mathematics program. From 29 selected high schools in the province of Isabela, a total of 60 Math teachers and 265 randomly selected grades 7 and 8 students participated in the study during November 2013 to May 2014. A 4-point Likert questionnaire consisting of impact statements was prepared, developed, thematically analyzed and validated. Findings revealed that Math teachers and students have equally agreed on dimensions knowledge, observations, and benefits. Teachers claimed greater potential threats of the program than students. Students and teachers’ knowledge about the program largely influences its level of implementation. The result of this study points out two relevant directions: firstly, the need for program’s regular monitoring and continuous professional training to enhance students and teachers’ understanding of the K-12 Mathematics program; and, secondly, the need to conduct related studies, explore factors of K-12 program implementation through exploratory factor analyses, and relate it to national performance through path analyses.KEY WORDS: Education for All; Knowledge, Observations, Benefits, and Potential Threats; K-12 Math Program; Level of Implementation; National Performance.===About the Author: Roldan S.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The common problem found in reading was the students could not comprehend the text easily, because the students were passive. They never worked together in discussion or presentation. When the teacher asked them to read some texts and to find out the main ideas from the texts, most of the student could not or it easily. An interactive activity as a technique that is possible for them to improve their involvement in learning English, especially in reading class. This technique can help the students to comprehend the content of reading text in group; beside that, they can share, cooperate, and support each other, achive learning objective, and make the learning enjoyable. Interactive activities will help the teacher to engage the students. Teacher can use interactive activities in classrooms from high school to university. The choice of strategies is affected by a number of considerations: the level of the objectives, the abilities of the students, teacher teaching skills and preferences, the size of the class, and many other factors. However, since school is supposed to help students sharpen their higher-order thinking skills, strategies that promote active involvement in learning should be the goal of every teacher. Interactive lecturing and structured discussions are methods that promote a degree of student involvement.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Exercise is a beneficial and efficient way to improve one’s health status. Numerous studies have looked at both the physiological and psychological health benefits of physical exercise, however, studies that examine the relationship between exercise and psychological health, specifically on anxiety, report ambiguous findings. This paper, a qualitative study, diminishes the ambiguity by explaining the relationship between aerobic exercise, trait anxiety, and state anxiety. Four female participants engaged in an aerobics exercise class in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia, they were all employed women working within the town. The participants ranged from 25 to 55 years of age, with an average age of 40. It was found that trait anxiety moderated the effect aerobic exercise had on a woman’s state anxiety level following aerobic exercise. Women with a higher level of trait anxiety reported a lower level of state anxiety following exercise when they participated in more hours of aerobic exercise per week. On the other hand, aerobic exercise had little effect on state anxiety levels in women with low trait anxiety levels.KEY WORDS: psychological health, state anxiety, trait anxiety, aerobic exercise, and women at work.    About the Authors: Mastura Johar, M.A. is a lecturer of UNITEN (Universiti Tenaga Nasional); Rozita Abdul Latif, M.A. is a lecturer of UiTM (Universiti Teknologi MARA); and Prof. Madya Dr. Mohd Sofian Omar Fauzee is a lecturer of UPM (Universiti Putra Malaysia).

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The desire for freedom and justice, the political fallouts from the structural adjustment programmes, and the entrenched autocratic and repressive political institutions dominant in the most of the parts of Africa. Since 1980s, Africa has been in the process of establishing the principles of good governance for making African institutions and authorities accountable enough to run their own state affairs. Research shows that the continent has made some progress in this area, but more still needs to be achieved.  In this paper, we will examine the recent developments in the field of good governance and consider what is still needed in order to achieve a prosperous and progressive Africa. The research data has been taken from UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), AU (African Union), UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development), WB (World Bank), UNESCO (United Nations on Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization), and AfDB (African Development Bank) research reports. We have tried to highlight the positive aspects of recent developments, and also the transitional aspect of good governance in the African continent. We have also tried to avoid negative dimensions on the basis research data, which definitely shows over the last two decades Africa has made real progress and is still moving towards sustainable development, effective governance, and stable growth. And it is also predicted, at some time in the near future, Africa will have achieved significant growth and economic progress, and will have effective political institutions and better leaders.  KEY WORDS: Good governance, changing dynamics, African continent, sustainable development, stable growth in economic, and better political prospect.  About the Authors: Dr. Hilal Ahmad Wani is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science and Strategic Studies, College of Law and Governance MU (Mekelle University) in Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia; and Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of History Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education) in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Developing graduate core competencies in higher education has been becoming an actual and trend issue due to the greatest concerns of students, governments, and employers about the quality of higher education outcomes. Higher education in Indonesia should turn the policies and the curriculum of university from conventional objective to recent contexts of global changes and employment settings. University must develop a curriculum which is not only aim to develop students’ knowledge but also to develop students’ core competencies, namely communication skill, IT (Information and Technology) skill, numeracy, learning how to learn, problem solving, working with others, and subject content competencies. The frameworks of core competencies development should be formulated and implemented and graduate “core competences” must become a measurement of quality to face the global competition. By this manner, intended outcomes of higher education namely employability, lifelong learning, and good citizenship will be attained. In other words, the universities in Indonesia should envisage that every single graduate of the university posses the seven attributes. The seven skills could be carried out in delivering course content. Finally, by equipping students with the core competencies they will succeed as professionals and responsible members of society. KEY WORDS: Core competencies, higher education in Indonesia, policies and curriculum of the university, and global competition. About the Author: Hadiyanto is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education UNJA (Universitas Negeri Jambi or State University of Jambi) in Sumatera, Indonesia.
