Abstract

The study examined the current implementation of the research management system at the National University of Laos. The population comprised 1,302 faculty members across 13 affiliated faculties, with a sample size of 306 determined using Yamane’s formula (1973). A five-point Likert scale questionnaire, validated by five experts in research and management, served as the primary data collection instrument, yielding a reliability coefficient of 0.97. Stratified sampling was employed to gather the data, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Additionally, content analysis was used for the qualitative component. The findings revealed that the overall input of the system was rated at an Agree level, although limited budget allocation and the absence of research manuals were identified as critical issues. The research process was frequently practiced, but deficiencies in applying research findings were noted. The output was similarly rated at an Agree level, though there was limited utilization of research outcomes. While generally positive, feedback mechanisms lacked sufficient depth in reflection and improvement. To optimize research management, it is recommended that managers focus on securing financial resources, providing comprehensive research guides, enhancing the utilization of research outputs, and strengthening feedback processes

Abstract

Different types of leaders work in various settings. School directors have always been regarded as essential individuals in school settings, and they are usually regarded as sample individuals for teachers and other educational staff. The current study investigates high school teachers' perceptions of directors' transformational leadership (DTL) in four Cambodian provinces, concentrating on five essential dimensions: idealized influence (attributes), idealized influence (behaviours), inspirational motivation, individual consideration, and intellectual stimulation. Six hundred thirty-nine teachers participated in the study, indicating favourable evaluations of their directors' leadership methods. Although most variables exhibited uniform perceptions, the findings revealed significant differences in inspiring motivation and individual consideration, especially amongst Kampong Cham and Kampong Chhnang teachers. Teachers in Kampong Cham indicated elevated perceptions of motivation and personalized support from their directors, implying that the efficacy of leadership may differ by provincial settings. These findings emphasize the significance of comprehending local dynamics in educational leadership and reinforce the essential function of DTL in cultivating a supportive and motivated atmosphere for teachers. The study underscores the necessity for customized leadership approaches to elevate teacher satisfaction and promote educational findings in Cambodian schools. Last, but not least, it is recommended that future studies be conducted in provinces other than the four that were part of the current study and that the number of participants is increased. Additionally, combination designs and qualitative designs are recommended.

Abstract

Mathematics is fundamental in daily life and education, yet students with dyscalculia face significant challenges in mastering basic arithmetic operations. This study investigates how the ethnomathematics approach can develop process skills among students with dyscalculia. Using a qualitative descriptive method, two grade-six students with different levels of dyscalculia were studied through observations, tests, and interviews. Results indicate that students with moderate dyscalculia (S1) demonstrated progress in classification and calculation with minimal guidance, while those with severe dyscalculia (S2) required intensive support and showed limited progress. This suggests that ethnomathematics, which integrates cultural and contextual learning, is effective for students with learning disabilities but requires adaptation based on severity levels. Findings highlight the potential of culturally relevant methods in enhancing mathematical skills.
