Abstract

Aim: To support student recruitment policies and school management strategies with data-driven decisions, the author of this paper conducted an experiment using Institutional Research (IR).Method: In this investigation, the "Qlikview" BI analytical software was used to combine the school management system with the predetermined analysis scenarios. The following four modules were developed based on a review of the relevant literature and the researchers’ firsthand experience: Analysis of enrollment sources; Analysis of student/parent/teacher satisfaction surveys; Analysis of student/teacher progress; Analysis of teacher effectiveness in the classroom.Findings: Figure 5 demonstrates that the analysis outcomes indicate that this IR model can also analyze trends of different students’ enrollment in junior high schools. This senior high school will be able to refocus its efforts on student recruitment once it has a clear picture of the ups and downs in enrollment at various feeder junior highs.Implications/Novel Contribution: Our findings support the adoption of data-driven decision-making and the introduction of novel creative methods into the classroom. Additional research will be required before IR can be widely used in classrooms. This research also helps us understand the possibilities and constraints of IR as a tool for directing institutional management practices in educational institutions.

Abstract

Aim: The study’s overarching goal is to improve the teaching and learning of Western classical vocal music by identifying issues and offering recommendations for how to address them. The research will also consider the advantages of finding solutions to these issues. The primary purpose of this research was to infer the current state of Western vocal music education in Myanmar and investigate effective strategies for addressing these issues within the context of the country’s public school system.Method: interviews, both formally conducted and informally conducted, and participant observation were used as qualitative research methods. There are currently seven full-time and part-time teachers in that area, all of whom have at least two years of experience teaching western vocal styles: two from the Music Centers in Yangon, one from the Music Department at the Myanmar Institute of Theology’s Liberal Arts program, and one from an independent unit.Findings: Through interviews, the researcher discovered that few vocal music teachers had formal voice training and had never had the chance to study music themselves as children. Most of them only used what they had learned from other teachers and their own experience to teach voice to students. None of the voice music instructors also had a bachelor’s degree in music.Implications/Novel Contribution: According to the findings, more regular practice is needed in Myanmar. Since students’ backgrounds and skill levels influence lesson and curricular development, teachers should establish ground rules for student practice. Teachers need to get ahead of the game by preparing the literary works and pieces they will use in the next lesson.

Abstract

Aim: In this case study, middle managers in a Maltese Further Education (FE) organization express their views on professionalism. The selected managers will play an academic and administrative role as Curriculum Development Managers (CDMs).Method: In this research, we used an instrumental case study approach guided by theory and interpreted through the lens of critical realism. In this case study, ten CDMs and two SMT members participated in semi structured interviews to discuss their respective roles, skills, values, management education, and challenges.Findings: Participants viewed their roles as administrative and managerial, with personnel management and dealing with unreasonable bureaucratic structures cited as the greatest difficulties. Efficiency, organization, fairness, and discipline were identified as the most important qualities for success in their position. Few respondents had formal management training, but nearly everyone agreed that internal training was necessary.Implications/Novel Contribution: This paper demonstrates the potential of case studies for illuminating the lived experiences of individuals within organizations and comparing those accounts to those found in other parts of the world. Despite the study’s limitations, such as its relatively small sample size, it may be worthwhile to broaden the scope of this investigation to encompass additional FE institutions.

Abstract

Aim: The study’s overarching goal is to learn what factors influence VIUs’ adoption of e-Learning platforms and how those platforms are used to impart knowledge. However, the focus of this paper is on the use of e-Learning websites in Malaysia to transfer Islamic knowledge toMethod: This research utilized a qualitative strategy based on in-depth interviews. The survey received responses from 14 very important users (VIUs), 14 knowledge providers (KPs), and 13 service providers (SPs) at 15 different Malaysian institutions and organizations. Results from the survey were analyzed using a thematic approach with an inductive methodology.Findings: Based on the interviews, VIUs came up with four factors that influence how visually impaired people in Malaysia use e-Learning websites to learn about Islam. Social media, user experience, information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, government, and non-profit aid play a role.Implications/Novel Contribution: The research presented in this paper can be used to improve Islamic education on e-Learning platforms currently available in Malaysia.

Abstract

Aim: The current study set out to determine 1) which types of reporting verbs are most commonly used by EFL English major students in their research projects and 2) which types of reporting verbs are most commonly used by this population.Method: 52 research projects written by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students majoring in English were chosen and analyzed to achieve the study’s goals. Furthermore, reporting verbs were categorized according to Francis, Huston, and Manning’s (1996) work.Findings: As the results indicated, "show," "find," "present," "analyze," and "state" were the five reporting verbs used most frequently. The results showed that after classifying the reporting verb groups, the ARGUE verb group comprised 50% of all reporting verb groups, followed by the THINK verb group (18.75%), SHOW verb group (12.5%), FIND verb group (12.5%), and ADD verb group (6.25%), respectively.Implications/Novel Contribution: The purpose of this research is to educate writers to make more informed decisions when selecting reporting evidence for academic writing or research projects. From a theoretical perspective, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to investigating the potential benefits of evidentiality for language users beyond simply identifying the origin of a piece of information. It could help guide future research and provide a basis for new findings. There is still room for research into topics like the purposes of different kinds of evidence, genre conventions, and the application of evidence in different types of writing.

Abstract

Aim: This paper looks at the employees of hybrid organizations from the perspective of the theory that people’s actions have a profound impact on the nature of those organizations and institutions. It demonstrates how these workers are essential for assisting the world’s poorest people in developing nations. Choosing which subset of the population to market to can be complicated by factors at the level of the organization, such as the nature of the business’s structure, strategies, and products.Method: The sample was selected from among the BCtA member companies in Japan that are engaged in inclusive business in the area of global health. Three companies’ employees were surveyed using a Qualtrics online survey. In addition, respondents were asked to rate their level of risk aversion on a scale from "very risk averse" to "not at all" and their willingness to go above and beyond to formally or informally help the extremely poor.Findings: The most compassionate leader and the most welcoming company culture came together to form Company A. Comparatively, the least compassionate respondent worked for Company B and had no personal experience with marginalized groups. His risk aversion was lower than average, and he was willing to help the poorest of the poor if the financial hit could be absorbed elsewhere.Implications/Novel Contribution: This essay aims to show how compassion on a personal level affects the availability of goods and services for the most vulnerable people in developing nations. This research explores the significance and limitations of the three individuals’ compassion-driven efforts to involve the extreme poor in their business processes by conducting an online survey of three Japanese multinational companies certified as members of the United Nations-led Business Call to Action (BCtA) fighting for global health.

Abstract

Aim: This study, part of a larger task investigation, questions the use of general vocabulary in Thai EFL university students writing. The most common words in English are represented by general vocabulary, which is helpful for language students. The two main goals of the corpus-based lexical study were (a) to compile a list of frequently used general words in Thai EFL university students’ writing and (b) to compare the word list to the New General Service List (NGSL).Method: The authors gathered and analyzed 1,233 writing assignments totaling 661,596 words, all completed by Thai EFL college students. We used WordSmith Tool Version 6 (Scott, 2012) for this research, a concordancing program.Findings: According to our findings, out of the 2,818 NGSL high-frequency words, 1,648 were used frequently throughout the corpus, with this coverage accounting for 1.41 percent of the token total. By comparing our words to the NGSL, we found that most of the core vocabulary in the TEFL Corpus was, in fact, very close to the NGSL.Implications/New Contribution: The study’s findings will inform educators about the role of vocabulary in writing and will be useful to students and curriculum developers as they create resources for the instruction of writing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) sector. Furthermore, these findings could be used by educators to enhance grammar and vocabulary instruction in the classroom. In addition, students can use these findings to better comprehend and appreciate how English is actually used in the real world to develop their writing skills.

Abstract

Aim: This paper aims to identify the benefits and drawbacks of using EM as an alternative to incarceration for female offenders who are either (1) pregnant, (2) breastfeeding, (3) mothers with children in prison, or (4) women with dependent children.Method: This investigation relied on qualitative strategies. In-depth interviews were conducted with women who had used the EM as an alternative to incarceration to learn more about the program’s benefits and drawbacks. Ten female offenders were interviewed about their experiences with EM.Findings: According to this study, most people experience high levels of stress and anxiety during the first week of EM treatment. However, they are in better mental and physical health after that time and report feeling better. The results also showed that female offenders felt better after using the EM for a while. Each period has a higher total point value, as can be seen. This indicates that when using EM as an alternative to incarceration, all participants felt better and experienced less stress.Implications/Novel Contribution: Tiny and practical, the GPS device tracks your every move. However, today it is only valid in mainland Europe. Since other developing countries use more modern technology and successfully use the EM as an alternative imprisonment, it should not be difficult for the Thai government to solve the problem of the EM’s outdated technology.

Abstract

Aim: This study draws from archival materials and theoretical perspectives. The Vaisnavite Masks are an attempt to find a voice in the conventional medium that pushes back against the kind of stereotyping, high/low art, or classical art that is so prevalent in contemporary urban culture.Method: The present research uses a descriptive method to present its data. The information gathered was based on the papers written before now. The results were obtained by comparing various variables.Findings: The audience’s thought processes are altered by the combination of the elaborate costumes and make-up with the unique communicative language (Brajawali) spoken between the performers. It gives them a fantastical, exciting visual experience of the show. The audience members’ minds are manipulated into experiencing an emotional investment and agitation as they watch the performance.Implications/New Approach: The creation of masks is a significant form of medium that captures and gives us visual narrative representations of historical and current data. The occupation of galleries over the common people’s visual psyche has been challenged by its distinctive forms, utility, and structural representations, which challenge the hierarchical practices of mainstream arts.

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this research was to examine the potential of Cat Tien as a tourist destination by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the industry, with the ultimate goal of constructing a tourist industry that is respectful of Cat Tien’s cultural heritage and that contributes to the city’s economic growth.Method: Quantitative methods were used for data collection and presentation, with a survey of local residents processed through SPSS for statistical analysis and Likert scales for measuring local residents’ awareness and expectations.Findings: Therefore, it is clear that there is no connection between the dependent and independent variables. These results suggest that respondents of all backgrounds and familiarity with Cat Tien’s history and culture strongly favor the industry’s expansion. Those who work in the tourism industry are also more likely to believe that the industry plays a significant role in the economy.Implications/Novel Contribution: This study has uncovered some concerns, particularly from local residents who participated in the research, that tourism development in this area has not improved their quality of life, even though on a macro level, tourism has a strong link to other sectors. As a result, society’s stakeholders won’t be able to make effective contributions, which will slow the expansion of the local economy in the eyes of the general public
