Abstract

The pinnacle of every country's literacy and the foundation of knowledge creation and management are Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs). Widespread ethical problems are threatening HLIs. Accepting payment or presents in return for grades, utilizing other forms of academic fraud, harassing faculty, staff, and students in a sexual manner both inside and outside of the classroom, abusing power, and plagiarizing are all examples of academic fraud. These moral issues put HLIs in danger and result in the hiring of students who lack the necessary skills.  Tanzania's public HLIs were the subject of this study's investigation of ethical leadership practices. The study's target population consisted of 4863 academic staff members at public HLIs in Tanzania. A sample of 350 respondents was drawn from this group using a stratified simple random sampling technique. The input provided by the respondents was examined using the Microsoft Excel application.  Relative index analysis was used in this study to order the criteria according to their relative importance.  The calculation of the Relative Relevance Index (RII) is important to this study because the outcome shows the ranking level of relevance. It is especially useful for surveys using a Likert scale. The overall findings demonstrate that ethical leadership behaviors in all areas (role clarity, power sharing, integrity, ethical guidance, and fairness) scored Medium-High (M-H), with the highest overall ranking of 0.7 and above. None of the moral behavior received a Higher (0.8) or higher rating. Seven (7) factors received a Medium (0.6) ranking

Abstract

Listening is an essential component of the communication process. Of the four primary components of communication skills—reading, listening, speaking, and writing—it is the most crucial one. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the students’ perception of the factors that make it challenging to comprehend the "Listening Test" assessment. Eighteen (18) students from the DNS3B class at Politeknik Balik Pulau who took the "Listening Test" assessment for the course DUE 3012, Communicative English 2 participated in this study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data collected via a yes-or-no questionnaire. The result showed that a few major factors influenced the students’ performance in their “Listening Test” assessment. They are; a) Language proficiency level, b) Listening skills, c) Passage length, d) Speech rate, e) Poor audio projection, and f) Testing Conditions. This paper also recommended several implications for practices based on this study and previous research for curriculum designers, teachers/lecturers/instructors and students.

Abstract

No human society if free from socio-political challenges. However, developing countries tend to face more challenges than developed ones. Ghana is West-African country that faces a lot of socio-political challenges such as poverty, poor infrastructure, local currency depreciation, high inflation, corruption, and high unemployment rate, among others. This paper used a literature-based research approach to explore what political lessons Ghana can learn from the political philosophy of Aristotle. The study draws political lessons for Ghana based on three thematic areas; namely, the reality of diversity and the need for political inclusiveness, the need for educational reforms and community-mindedness of the citizenry. The main thesis of the paper is that political activities must be geared toward the wellbeing of the society rather than the selfish interest of political actors. The paper serves as a foundation upon which a more detailed and comprehensive political theology could be formulated for Ghana and Africa at large

Abstract

Governments and organizations, particularly those in developing nations, have experienced project failures during the implementation of their projects, though there may be some variations among governments in the causes, effects, and consequences of such failures. The purpose of this study was to look into the reasons behind project failures in developing nations, specifically looking at Nigeria. As a result, the implementation of infrastructure projects in Nigeria has encountered problems and failed. The investigation is a documentary study. It obtains its data from secondary sources, such as books, journals, government-issued documents, newspapers, magazines, and websites that host related data. The collected data were examined using a content analysis technique. It became clear that project failure occurs frequently in developing nations, particularly Nigeria, and that there are a variety of causes, effects, and consequences. Poor financial capability, inaccurate costing, corruption, incompetence and a lack of knowledge, poor planning and estimation, poor contracting and contractor practices, poor communication, frequent design scope changes and errors, poor leadership, interference from socio-cultural and political factors, and poor knowledge were some of the causes identified. The effects of project failure were found to include lost of state revenue, citizen revenue losses, project cost overruns, low community empowerment and poor infrastructure. Slow economic growth, sector-focused underdevelopment, a loss of foreign aid and grants, stricter donor regulations, the loss of elections to the incumbent leadership, and a lack of trust from financial institutions in the government were the results. This study suggests, among other things, that pertinent government agencies, such as the National Council on Public Procurement, Bureau of Public Procurement, and Due Process Office, which are in charge of overseeing and monitoring federal government projects nationwide, be cleaned up and redesigned to best carry out their duties without using unethical methods.

Abstract

This article focuses on the living practice of Dérsanä Rufaýel in the Ethiopian healing tradition. Homily of Raphael is one of the earliest religious books in the EOTC tradition. The study examines use of Dérsanä Rufaýel in the healing tradition of Ethiopia in liturgical and spiritual practice. Major aim of the study is to identify the applicability of manuscripts of Raphael's homilies in alleviating ailments and other problems and to examine their significance in the Ethiopian tradition. It will be studied based on a critical edition prepared by the author from the main part of his doctoral dissertation. The content analysis of the critical edition of Dérsanä Rufaýel will, together with inter-textually related texts, show its significant impact on the Ethiopian tradition. The study also includes indirect observation of healing services in some of St. Raphael's churches in some parts of Ethiopia. The research shows that the Homily of Raphael is one of the available liturgical books on the motif of healing in the Ethiopian Orthodox Täwahédo Church as well as illustrated in Mäséhäfä Sénksar and in the annual and monthly celebrations. Healing is thus particularly associated with the devotion to the glorious archangel Rufaýel, whereby the faithful followers of the EOTC celebrate this day and use the holy water to cure themselves from their ailments and other problems.

Abstract

The development of this work aims to identify the type of cultural relationship between Jesuits and native settlers during the colonial era in the Argentine national territory, the latter defined by the period in which there was socioeconomic and political control by the Spanish crown; until national independence in 1816. To do this, we will begin by contextualizing the definitions of culture, interculturality, multiculturalism and transculturality, to identify what type of cultural relationships took place between the actors in said historical context. Starting from the basic assumption that there was no true intercultural transfer given the subordination of the native peoples, the existence of processes of multiculturalism and interculturality will nevertheless be postulated. Next, the origin and development of Jesuit action within the Argentine national territory during the colonial era will be addressed, with special emphasis on its educational characteristics as an argument for the existence of multiculturalism. Finally, an example of interculturality represented by the knowledge of the native peoples will be developed regarding the use of healing plants in the Jesuit pharmacopoeia, once used by these peoples.

Abstract

John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, made significant contribution to the subject of pneumatology. Wesley’s pneumatological teachings and praxis addressed a myriad of societal issues in eighteenth-century England, including moral decay, economic disparities, discrimination, superficial religion, and oppression. Contemporary Ghana (the context of this research) is confronted with socio-religious and political issues comparable to those of Wesley’s society. This situation has prompted this research which aims to apply relevant aspects of the socio-political ramifications of Wesley’s pneumatology for addressing Ghana’s socio-religious and political challenges. The research is a literature-based research that gathered data from such sources as books, journal articles and dissertations.  A comparative approach was used, where parallels were drawn between the two contexts to facilitate a contextual application Wesley’s pneumatology for the transformation of the Ghanaian public space. The central argument is that genuine Christian spirituality should extend beyond personal domains, actively engaging with and impacting the broader public sphere to yield a holistic societal transformation. Beyond its capacity to instigate ethical rejuvenation within Ghanaian society, this paper offers valuable insights into the subjects of Christian pneumatology and public theology.

Abstract

The Nigerian work environment reflects the nation's kaleidoscope of cultures, ethnicities, languages, and religions. However, the importance of leveraging this robust diversity and achieving an inclusive workplace is rarely researched. Using the thematic literature review method, this paper explores the complex diversity and inclusion landscape in the Nigerian work environment, focusing on the opportunities it offers for growth, the challenges to overcome to harness these opportunities and the policies for addressing the issues of diversity and inclusion. Findings revealed that diversity and inclusion attract top talent, enhance innovation, corporate performance, and decision-making, and reduce biases, stereotypes, and employee attrition. It also revealed complex challenges, including change resistance, hidden biases, and communication barriers. Organisations can navigate these challenges by employing diversity training, inclusive leadership, equal opportunity, and general language policies. A contradiction was also revealed between the country’s ability to utilise its diverse potential and what is being achieved resulting from a low level of equity and inclusion in the Nigerian workplace and inadequate institutional and governmental structure to address the issues of inequality and discrimination. It is, therefore, imperative to formulate policies with broader coverage, expand existing ones and strengthen enforcement mechanisms to ensure compliance from both organisations and individuals.

Abstract

The 21st century teachers have been affected by globalization, technological innovation and diversity in workplace thus affecting their professionalism. Teachers who develop unconcern attitudes and suffer neglect are likely to have their performance at work affected. Therefore, this study examined organizational cynicism and self-efficacy as predictors of professionalism among teachers in Oyo State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select one Local Government Area for the study. Data were collected from 300 teachers using validated scales and analysed using t-test of independent means and multiple regressions analysis to test three hypotheses at a p < 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed that organizational cynicism and self-efficacy significantly influenced professionalism among teachers. Also, organizational cynicism and self-efficacy jointly and independently predicted professionalism among teachers. Finally, organizational cynicism and self-efficacy independently predicted professionalism among study participants. The study concluded that organisational cynicism and self-efficacy are strong predictors of professionalism among teachers. Therefore, government agencies and other stakeholders should work together to improve teachers’ professional skills.

Abstract

Student-teachers need help with creating and evaluating learning resources once deployed in schools. To provide a responsive approach to deal with their situations, the present study examines the design-based thinking practices among secondary student-teachers during their internship program in various secondary schools in the divisions of Bataan and Balanga City, Province of Bataan, Philippines, as input for the improved pre-service training. The design-based thinking practices of student-teachers are examined in terms of understanding (empathizing and defining), exploring (ideating and prototyping), and materializing (testing and implementing). Likewise, the study ascertains if there are significant differences in the design-based thinking practices of student-teachers. Using the descriptive-survey design of quantitative research, the data are gathered from 172 out of 199 student-teachers under the College of Education (COEd) who are randomly selected. The primary data-gathering tool used in the study is an adopted survey questionnaire. The quantitative data gathered from the study will be analyzed using descriptive statistics (i.e., mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (i.e., F-test/ANOVA). Results indicate that student-teachers excelled in understanding and exploring phases of design-based thinking but lagged in 'Materializing.' To improve, pre-service training should emphasize practical design thinking applications, workshops, mentorship, technology integration, reflection, collaboration, feedback, and continuous development. At the outset, the study proposes improvements in pre-service training to guide student-teachers in their meaningful integration of design-based thinking in their internship program.Student-teachers need help with creating and evaluating learning resources once deployed in schools.
