Abstract

Health science is crucial for a country's development. It provides healthcare knowledge and skills to health professionals to maintain the quality of health and well-being of its people. Cambodia's healthcare professionals are underrepresented in GDP growth because few students are interested in the health sciences. This study explores factors influencing students' decisions in choosing a health science major in higher education in Cambodia. It is a mixed-method study. Data was collected from the anonymous Google form questionnaire and focus-group discussions (FGDs). The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, while the qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings showed that tuition fees (38%), specialization courses offered (38%), university modern technology (31.4%), family's decision (29.8%), scholarship opportunity (29.8%), and university locations (24.8%), were the main factors for the participants' choices of their university majors. The theme-based results classified the students' decisions on health science majors into life experiences, role models, family support and engagement, academic performance, and career goals. The results further demonstrated that families, university profiles, and student academic performance played the most important roles in encouraging students' enrollment in health science majors to maintain the quality of the healthcare sector in Cambodia.

Abstract

The declining level and quality of productivity in the educational sector have become a cause for concern among stakeholders. This study investigated the connection between workers' organisational commitment, workload, and productivity among university staff in Oyo and Osun states. The descriptive research design was utilised, and data were collected from two public universities in each state. Valid and standardised instruments were used, including the Quantitative Workload Inventory, Work Productivity Survey, and Organizational Commitment Scale. Pearson correlation and regression analyses were conducted. The results revealed significant correlations between productivity and workload (r = .039, p < .05) and organisational commitment (r = .044, p < .05). Workload contributed the most (Beta = .425, t = 6.015, p < .05) productivity prediction, followed by organisational commitment (Beta = .284, t = 5.116, p < .05). These findings highlight the need for the educational sector to address the dangers posed by excessive workload and lack of organisational commitment. It is recommended that measures be implemented to manage these factors effectively, including improving working conditions, enhancing welfare packages, and ensuring prompt payment of salaries and allowances for university staff.

Abstract

In theory, a scientific stratification (branches and disciplines) is frequently associated with the effectiveness of research groups but not professional mobility and other psychosocial factors. The study analyses the relationship among the organisational cultures specific to each field of speciality (human-social sciences versus exact-natural sciences), the satisfaction of researchers and the homogenisation of psychosocial behaviours with the mediation of the professional mobility variable; that is to say, the construction of organisational/disciplinary identities within the scientific system. Quantitative and qualitative techniques were used. Among the first, two questionnaires were used; among the latter, we used non-obstructive observation and interviews. This research concluded that Scientists' psychosocial responses and achievement levels vary according to their speciality areas, highlighting distinct disciplinary and organisational cultures within the scientific community. Dissatisfaction with team leadership is widespread across scientific disciplines, driven by factors such as effort, expectations, and societal influences, necessitating the development of transformative competencies, particularly leadership skills, to address these issues and promote well-being among scientists.

Abstract

Students often struggle with mastering vocabulary in their English learning journey, necessitating English teachers to seek solutions. One viable strategy teachers can adopt is the integration of crossword puzzles to enhance students’ vocabulary mastery. Specifically, the study sought to determine if providing crossword puzzles to the SMP Negeri 3 Banawa seventh-grade students could enhance their vocabulary proficiency. To measure the impact of this approach, the researcher employed pre-test and post-test assessments as evaluation tools in a quasi-experimental study. Through purposive sampling, the researcher selected two classes, VII B and VII D, each with 29 students, as the study’s sample groups. Subsequently, data analysis revealed a significant disparity between the pre-test and post-test scores in the experimental class. Notably, the computed p-valued (two-tailed) was 0.000, falling below the predetermined significance level of 0.05, signifying the acceptance of the hypothesis. In conclusion, implementing the crossword puzzle in this study led to a noticeable improvement in the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Banawa.

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

English holds paramount significance as a global language, widely employed by diverse nations, including Cambodia, where it functions as a foreign language. Particularly in Cambodia, English has become indispensable for tertiary education. Employing a mixed methods approach, this study surveyed 183 university students, with ten subsequently participating in voluntary interviews. The findings indicate that students predominantly exhibit extrinsic motivation in their approach to English reading, with no discernible variance based on gender. The research also proposes several strategies for educators to enhance students' reading motivation, identifying the strategy of having students explain their comprehension to others as particularly efficacious. The study underscores the significance of English reading and elucidates the challenges students encounter in related activities. Ultimately, the study advocates for future investigations with larger sample sizes to further enrich scholarly insights.

Abstract

In pronunciation, students encounter significant challenges when it comes to stress. The majority of students often struggle with the accurate placement of stress in words. This research project seeks to identify the key aspects: the specific word categories that pose the most significant difficulty for students regarding stress placement, the syllable position where students commonly struggle with pronunciation, and the predominant types of errors made when attempting to pronounce stress in English. This research takes a quantitative descriptive approach to gather information about these three aspects. The study's target population consists of 250 students from Tadulako University, with a sample of 35 students chosen through purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out through tests and mobile phones as research instruments, and the data were subsequently analyzed using basic statistical methods within the Excel application. The findings reveal that verbs are the most challenging for students to pronounce among various word categories, with 53 errors observed. Regarding syllable position, the ultimate position is the most difficult for students regarding placing stress on pronunciation, with 20 errors recorded. In line with the linguistic category, the error was identified in verb (48%), noun (25 %), and adjective (27%) errors produced by students.
