Abstract

Grade inflation in Philippine higher education is a growing concern, with instructors increasingly assigning higher grades to students. This paper investigates instructor-driven causes behind grade inflation and its impacts. Autoethnography was used as a method. The study locale was public state universities and colleges in Taguig City and Muntinlupa City, Philippines; data collection involved immersion, a personal diary, and informal discussions with faculty and students. Thematic analysis, guided by research inquiries, unveiled the factors driving this trend. Results suggest compassionate grading, influenced by a desire to support students facing challenges, fosters inflated success perceptions. Laziness, apathy, and sycophancy also contribute to lax grading, hindering genuine academic growth. Meanwhile, the impacts extend beyond academia, affecting graduates' skill acquisition and potentially dissatisfying employers. Recommendations advocate for enhanced accountability among instructors through rigorous evaluation systems and continuous professional development to safeguard academic standards. Combating grade inflation necessitates collaborative efforts to uphold education quality and integrity, benefiting students, institutions, and society.

Abstract

This paper focuses on Indonesia's efforts to tackle peace-related climate change, which shows the ASEAN style of multilateralism. The multilateralism style of this Southeast Asian Regional Organization (ASEAN) highlights passivity and ineffective collaboration in the area. By studying the United Nations General Assembly plenary sessions between 2016 and 2021 and the formal documents from both the ASEAN and the Indonesian government, the paper shows that commitment to the discussion at the global and international levels is not moved beyond the meetings or implemented at the local (country) level. With such normative terminologies used in the documents and the employment of its language usage, Southeast Asian multilateralism shows the practice of upholding principles/norms in discussing climate change, but not as an outcome or action. As climate crisis action is immediately needed, one possible way can be to start by using strong words to tackle climate crises in global commitments and start to act.

Abstract

Students' cultural values can significantly impact their decision to enroll in accounting courses. Some students could be discouraged from studying accounting because of a poor view of the field stemming from cultural expectations. A lack of solid cultural values (Aesthetic, social, symbolic, spiritual, and educational) can negatively affect students aspiring to become accountants. In this context, our study sets out to ascertain how cultural values affect college students' decisions to pursue careers in accounting. With this aim, employing a quantitative technique and a survey questionnaire was appropriate to gather data from Omani undergraduate students. SEM-PLS, version 4.0 software, was used to analyze data. The outcome of our research was mainly the confirmation that cultural values—both symbolic and aesthetic—significantly impact students' decisions to pursue a career in accounting. However, there was no discernible influence of other cultural values (such as social, spiritual, and educational) on the decision to pursue a career in accounting. An accounting career ought to uphold Islamic ideals and beliefs. The capacity to exhibit Islamic beliefs and practices, which students believe is crucial while choosing a career in accounting. The research conclusions of this can help managers in the accounting industry make informed hiring decisions. They can adapt their recruitment efforts to attract talented people by comprehending the variables that affect students' decisions to pursue careers in accounting.

Abstract

Along with the evolution of time, individuals were required to learn quickly, especially in mastering new things. Therefore, it became the main reason reading is considered a fundamental skill that should be mastered from a young age. Several methods have been created to enhance reading fluency, including the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA). This research aims to determine the EGRA method's effectiveness on students' reading fluency. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a nonrandomized pretest-posttest control group design was employed. Thirty-seven fourth-grade elementary school students at SDN X Cikarang Regency participated. Eight (8) elements of EGRA were used as treatment materials, namely: (a) letter identification; (b) distinguishing initial sound; (c) nonword reading; (d) read aloud/oral reading; (e) reading comprehension; (f) listening comprehension; (g) Indonesian vocabulary; and (h) dictation. As for analyzing the data, the researcher employed Mann-Whitney U to compare the pretest and posttest scores of the control and experimental groups. The results showed that The EGRA method significantly improved reading fluency in fourth-grade elementary school students (p < 0.05). Thus, the EGRA method can help educators teach elementary school students to read more fluently.

Abstract

Parenting styles are an essential factor in how parents raise their children. More literature is needed about the role of parenting styles on parental financial socialization. How parents manage their finances is essential as children observe and imitate their parents' behavior. This study investigated the relationship between parenting styles and parental financial behavior. Parenting style was measured through authoritarian, neglectful, authoritative, and permissive. This study adopted a quantitative research approach and used a self-administered questionnaire to collect data from young adults in two provinces (Gauteng and Mpumalanga) in South Africa. Correlation analysis was used to analyze data. The results showed a significant positive relationship between authoritarian, neglectful, authoritative, and permissive parenting styles and parental financial behavior. Thus, it is concluded that a significant positive relationship exists between parenting styles and parental financial behavior. The study implies that parents should invest more time in understanding and evaluating their parenting styles and adopt authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive parenting styles as they were found to support and foster financial socialization. Financial educators and the government must design and implement financial programs to inform parents of different parenting styles. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by empirically testing the relationship between parenting styles and parental financial behavior.

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the adoption of the diffusion of Instagram social media innovations among selected football clubs in Tanzania. The diffusion of innovation theory guided this study to answer the studied objectives. There needs to be more studies that assess the factors influencing the adoption of the diffusion of social media innovations in the Tanzanian context, which are guided by the diffusion of innovation theory, particularly on the relative advantage, compatibility, and trialability. A survey strategy was utilized in data collection by administering the questionnaires. A sample of 90 respondents was drawn from the study population. Quantitative data was analyzed based on descriptive statistical analysis and multiple linear regression Analysis. The variables under the study were Relative advantage, compatibility, and trialability. In contrast, the dependent variable was the adoption of the diffusion of Instagram social media innovations among selected football clubs in Tanzania. The findings showed that Relative advantage and compatibility affect the adoption of the diffusion of Instagram social media innovations among selected football clubs in Tanzania, while trialability has no effect. This study has unveiled the knowledge contribution by validating the Diffusion of Innovation Theory (DOI), specifically on the Instagram social media platform, by suggesting the relationship between variables under the study by approving or disapproving the theory. The findings will have practical implications that can be applied in real-world contexts to technology adoption.

Abstract

Employee performance is influenced by organizational factors that require careful management by the human resource divisions of organizations. The involvement of human resources divisions is essential for managing court interpreters who require specific skills, such as understanding court hierarchies, proceedings, and discourse, remaining neutral concerning their language choices, and coping with hearing about sometimes horrific events without succumbing to secondary trauma. The organizational factors in the South African courtrooms were examined by interviewing foreign African court interpreters, magistrates, prosecutors, and attorneys. Observations of courtroom proceedings complement data collected through interview methods. The data analyzed show that the majority of foreign African court interpreters have employment on a casual rather than permanent basis, and organizational issues such as standardized employment procedures, in-service training, monitoring, induction, and orientation, amongst other factors, still require significant improvement to ensure quality foreign African court interpreting in South African courtrooms. The research contributes to the literature on human resources management of court interpreting. The implications of the findings and the limitations of the study are discussed.

Abstract

Numerous studies have been conducted on effective, sustainable development, but they may not benefit local communities. Recognizing the potential for spatial development within a city and its various sectors, it is evident that specific barriers, particularly cultural ones, must be addressed. This study seeks to create a socially stable development model for Beshagard City by tackling the cultural challenges present in the community. The research utilizes a mixed methodology incorporating both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study population consists of students living in urban and rural areas of the city. Following Morgan's Table for sample size determination, a maximum of 384 participants were chosen for the quantitative segment of the study. Additionally, qualitative data was gathered through interviews with 20 individuals, including professors, urban development sustainability experts (10 individuals), and representatives from cultural heritage organizations (10 individuals). Data was analyzed using SPSS and Lisrel software in a Windows environment, encompassing descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Descriptive statistics were utilized to examine data levels and rankings among the student population. Moreover, a structural equation model was utilized to devise an appropriate development model for achieving social stability. Data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel, SPSS, and Lisrel software. The research findings reveal that cultural factors significantly impact the underdevelopment of Beshagard City, as evidenced by the t-test results, with a calculated t-value (8.09) exceeding the standardized t-value of 1.96 at a 95% significance level. The importance of culture in sustainable development and the promotion of social justice cannot be emphasized enough. The research clearly shows that culture is a key factor in the progress of any community. Ignoring or underestimating this essential element can lead to the downfall of all development efforts.

Abstract

This study explores teachers' perceptions regarding the impact of curriculum changes on the academic performance of accounting learners in four selected secondary schools. The ongoing curriculum changes created a state of uncertainty and bewilderment among teachers, which in turn has affected learners' academic performance. Employing a qualitative research approach aligned with interpretivism paradigms, data was gathered through semi-structured interviews. A purposive sampling technique was utilized to select 20 participants from four secondary schools, comprising principals, deputy principals, heads of departments, and teachers within the Shamavunga circuit, Mopani District, Limpopo. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data, with due consideration given to ethical guidelines throughout the study. The findings revealed the significant challenges teachers face in the context of accounting science due to curriculum changes. It is apparent that reluctance among certain teachers to embrace novel pedagogical approaches, alongside impediments encountered by learners such as restricted access to learning resources and time constraints, markedly hinder the academic performance of accounting learners. Furthermore, the insufficiency of teacher training concerning curriculum changes emerges as a critical factor impacting their ability to effectively convey accounting concepts to accounting learners. Consequently, this deficit in teaching proficiency directly influences learners' grasp of the subject matter, ultimately affecting their academic performance. To enhance the educational achievement of accounting learners amidst curriculum changes, it is imperative to ensure that teachers are furnished with adequate resources, subject enhancement strategies, and structured training sessions.
