Abstract

COVID-19 brought a massive shift to the teaching and learning practices in higher education in Bangladesh. Although many universities in Bangladesh have started hybrid education, including both online and offline education styles, many students still need help with this hybrid process. The study aimed to evaluate the modifications made to teaching and learning strategies due to COVID-19 and to find the prospect of a shift towards Hybrid course delivery in higher education in Bangladesh. The study followed a quantitative method where the data collection was done through a close ended questionnaire using multistage sampling consisting of both stratified and simple random sampling. Students from 20 universities, whether public or private participated in this study. The study stratified the data with 20 responses per university and analysed 400 responses. The data was analysed using SPSS software for descriptive statistics, cross tabulation and chi square test. By conducting the Chi-square test (p> 0.05), the overall results of the study revealed that the universities conducting online classes, exams during the pandemic or not have no significant impact on the students preferring a hybrid course delivery. This is because the wave of digitalization has spread and made students accustomed to online education, courses and teaching platforms making them believe that Hybrid course delivery is a unique opportunity to combine the best aspects of both in-person and online learning, address the limitations of traditional classroom models, is cost effective and more flexible. The findings of this study will assist addressing the existing research vacuum in this field and help policymakers, administrators, educators, academicians, University Grant Commission (UGC) authorities, related ministries, and university authorities to rethink the process of Higher Education in Bangladesh.

Abstract

The study investigated the use of apparel CAD technology in pedagogical training among technical universities in Ghana. The study respectively drew 285 respondents from two public universities, i.e., Kumasi Technical University, Accra Technical University, and Sunyani Technical University in Ghana. The overall population of the study was 285 randomly sampled from the three public universities. The study employed questionnaires as a data collection tool. The data gathered were 285 responses representing 100%. The data was analysed using pie charts, and frequency tables. The study findings show that there is minimal training and inadequate usage of clothing computerised design technology (CCDT). This was brought about by the lecturers' poor instruction and learning resources, the students' limited industrial exposure, and the lack of a competent CAD studio, hardware, and software for clothing design. The instruction and implementation of clothing CAD technology that students received, according to graduates, instructors, and students themselves, did not prepare them or the students to meet the industrial labour need. Therefore, there is a gap between industrial labour demand and university products. It was concluded that teaching and learning materials should be made available, universities' human capital should be well-equipped and motivated, and curricula should be restructured through broad stakeholder consultation. The study finally recommends that the universities should fully invest in the required CAD technology to provide the necessary facilities and equipment and provide lecturers with the needed resources and motivation to restructure the program's fate in our academic space.

Abstract

The attempt of this present research is to conduct a comparative study for estimation of socioeconomic variations in standard of living for both private and public university students in Sylhet urban area of Bangladesh. The results represent that the living standard of a private university student is significantly higher than a public university. The main reasons are that the students of private university have ability to spend more money for better university facilities including accommodation costs and for better living expenses than the public university. The amount of education costs also varies based on parent’s income and it is significantly high for private university students than public university. It founds that the engagement in extra-curricular activities of a public university student is higher than private university. It also found that the monthly expenditures of male students are significantly higher than the female students.

Abstract

Industrial training (IT) is a critical component of engineering education, offering students practical experience and linking academic theory with professional practice. However, its effectiveness in preparing students for the workforce has not been thoroughly examined. This study assesses IT by evaluating its alignment with the standards of the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) and collecting student feedback through surveys with 23 students. The findings reveal that the IT met all 11 EAC requirements. Survey results indicate that all students gained valuable real-world insights, with 95.7% reporting improved technical skills and 91.3% noting enhanced soft skills. Despite these positive outcomes, several challenges were identified, including subjective student feedback, inconsistent industrial exposure, limited training duration, and difficulties in monitoring and assessment. These findings highlight areas for improvement in both the curriculum and the IT, suggesting future efforts should focus on refining industrial exposure, enhancing assessment methods, and fostering stronger collaboration with industry partners.

Abstract

This paper presents a framework for the instruction of Leatherwork and practical programs aimed at skills acquisition. The development of the pedagogical framework was inspired by observations of teaching and learning in Leatherwork, as well as a series of interviews conducted at the Department of Art and Design Innovation at Tamale Technical University. Additionally, the framework draws from various models, including Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge TPACK developed by Koehler and Mishra (2009), the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) model, and the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model as proposed by Molenda and Pershing (2003), along with the Ghana National Teachers Guide (2017) in conjunction with established teachers' standards. The pedagogical framework is designated TPPSA. The development of the Teacher Practical and Pedagogical Skills Acquisition (TPPSA) framework is essential for the effective teaching of both content and practical knowledge in technical universities. This structured framework is designed to facilitate skills acquisition among technical university students. This paper commences with a brief introduction to leatherwork as a practical program within Ghanaian technical universities, thereby situating the pedagogical framework within the context of leatherwork. Additionally, it addresses the challenges associated with the teaching and learning of practical courses in technical universities, which underscore the necessity for the development of the TPPSA pedagogical framework. The TPPSA framework for skills acquisition is articulated in detail as a complex interaction among three domains of knowledge: teacher philosophy, pedagogical strategies, and practical skills. The interplay of these domains, both theoretically and in practice, engenders the flexible knowledge required to effectively cultivate content knowledge and practical skills among students in technical universities.

Abstract

The proliferation of hoaxes in Indonesia, particularly during election periods, poses significant challenges to the nation's democratic process by influencing public perception, destabilizing socio-political conditions, and undermining trust in institutions. This study explores the understanding and involvement of high school students in detecting hoaxes and monitoring information. Conducted at SMA Taruna Bumi Khatulistiwa Pontianak, the research utilized a qualitative descriptive method, involving 115 students who participated in the program "Detecting Hoaxes and Engaging in Participatory Monitoring." Data collection employed triangulation techniques, including interviews, observations, and documentation.The findings revealed that while most students are familiar with the concept of hoaxes and their basic forms, such as false news and manipulated images, their understanding of the broader socio-political and digital security impacts remains limited. Additionally, their participation in information monitoring is minimal, influenced by a lack of knowledge, skills, and motivation. The study identified key shortcomings in the current socialization program, including limited practical training, lack of interactive and participatory approaches, and inadequate emphasis on the long-term consequences of hoaxes. The research recommends enhancing the program through interactive activities, such as case simulations, digital literacy workshops, and collaborative anti-hoax campaigns. By equipping students with critical thinking and digital verification skills, and fostering collective awareness, the program can empower students to act as active agents in combating hoaxes and maintaining information integrity. This study underscores the importance of education and participatory approaches in addressing the challenges posed by hoaxes in the digital era.

Abstract

Managing changes to mission-critical computer systems presents unique challenges, especially when reliability, security, and real-time performance are paramount. Traditional change management processes can be inefficient and error-prone, leading to potential disruptions. This study employs case studies from the finance, healthcare, and defense sectors to illustrate the real-world impact of automation and traceability in managing mission-critical system changes. Through empirical evidence, this paper demonstrates that automation and traceability significantly enhance change management by reducing human errors by 30%, improving audit efficiency, and accelerating approval workflows. Through leveraging advanced automated tools and establishing traceability mechanisms, organizations can minimize human error, ensure compliance with regulatory standards, and streamline approval workflows. Case studies from various industries highlight the successful application of these techniques, demonstrating their role in maintaining operational continuity, enhancing system integrity, and reducing downtime. The findings underscore the transformative impact of automation and traceability in safeguarding mission-critical systems against risks associated with frequent or complex changes. Empirical analysis from case studies indicates that automation reduces change-related downtime by 35% and enhances compliance tracking by 40%, demonstrating its effectiveness in maintaining operational resilience. Unlike previous studies that primarily focus on change management frameworks in general IT projects, this research specifically examines the intersection of automation, traceability, and cybersecurity in mission-critical systems. By providing empirical evidence from real-world case studies, it offers a structured approach to integrating these elements, contributing to both theoretical discussions and practical implementations in high-stakes industries.

Abstract

The experiences of students in first-year university modules continue to be an area of global interest. The grand narrative in higher education literature during the COVID-19 pandemic was students’ experiences with online learning challenges. This paper departs from this narrative to focus on students’ best online experiences at one public higher education institution in one of the poorest provinces in South Africa. The study was a mixed-method instrumental case study in a predominantly ‘face-to-face’ institution before the pandemic. Our theoretical architecture employed Connectivism (Siemens 2005) learning theory closely aligned with collaborative learning. We draw on the data from one campus, in a large class where 667 first-year students were asked to complete an online questionnaire (a high response rate of 35% was achieved). Students’ best online teaching and learning experiences included their supportive lecturers, enhanced interactions and engagement with the lecturer, easy access to teaching and learning materials uploaded to the ‘learn’ platform and access to technological advancements and training, which led to improved online skills. Given students’ best teaching and learning experiences, we recommend upscaling the study with a larger sample of first-year modules across multiple campuses of the institution. There is the potential to provide the impetus for fashioning a more nuanced hybrid teaching and learning environment for first-year students in the future. We recommend, for the future, a greater balance in the curriculum between multiple modes of instruction. Keywords: COVID-19, online learning, connectivism, students’ experiences

Abstract

This study investigated the student learning experiences in the Integrated Design Project (IDP) of a Malaysian civil engineering programme. Understanding these experiences is crucial for improving the course and better preparing students for professional practice. The study evaluated the current implementation against the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) requirements for validity and conducted a questionnaire survey to assess students' learning experiences for effectiveness. The survey evaluated four aspects of the learning experience, including commitment and participation, teaching and learning resources, learning mechanisms and processes, and overall satisfaction. The results indicated that the IDP met all 11 accreditation requirements set by the EAC, and students generally had positive learning experiences, with 93.8% of respondents enjoying the IDP class. These results suggest that the IDP effectively prepares students for real-world challenges, especially for those working within the local industry. However, the study also noted some limitations of the IDP. Each student played key roles in only 5.4 out of 13 topics (41.5%), and 43.8% of the students lacked collaborative learning experiences. To address these issues, supervisors could encourage peer teaching and peer review to broaden students' understanding beyond their limited topics.
