Abstract

Aim: This article aims to chart the development of democracy in Cameroon over various historical periods. Since the dawn of time, democracy has been practiced worldwide. Because of this, whether you’re talking about Athenian democracy or the democracy in the United States, both have their roots in the past. This was the case with the African and Cameroonian democracies, which predated colonialism.Methodology: Data is collected using an interdisciplinary strategy, and the past is analyzed using a functional framework.Findings: The data gathered using historical research methods led to the conclusion that democracy is a work in progress and not a perfect system. Cameroonians can incorporate new democratic norms into their country’s established system. Customs.Novelty/Implications: The results of this study demonstrate that the Cameroonian culture before colonization was governed fairly well. Both historical and modern Cameroonian societies were inclined to pursue some form of social progress. It is analyzed, and recommendations are made for Cameroonian and African societies.

Abstract

Aim: This research aims to analyze the recent changes in two different youth subcultures. Subcultures today contribute heavily to the multifaceted framework that exists today. However, they lack any sort of coherence outside of the realm of mass culture. In other words, youth subcultures become embedded in the system they once protested through mainstream media.Methodology: This research relies on information gleaned from a thorough review of the relevant literature.Findings: Existing facts and data are critically evaluated, revealing that modern subcultures are formed with a structure to help individuals find the content most appropriate to their desires and needs, satisfying them aesthetically and in terms of other senses and enhancing the relationship of cultures with life.Novelty/Implications: Instead of using the term "subculture," this research has carefully examined terms like "neo-tribes," "lifestyle," and "scene" to highlight the dynamic nature of youth subcultures. This research aims to gain insight into the nature and current relevance of youth subcultures.

Abstract

Aim: This paper discusses potential strategies for growing the tourism sector in the area. We use Hualien County as an illustration. Hualien County is a region in East Taiwan known for its breathtaking scenery and diverse eco-friendly landscape. A crucial issue is how to effectively boost the regional economy and the tourism sector. This issue is the main focus of the paper.Methodology: Our qualitative research is based on archival analysis of reports about Hualien’s most popular tourist spot and on participant observation. To promote tourism, we conducted a SWOT analysis of the available literature.Findings: We discovered that the local government should coordinate the culture of festive activities and provide clear publicity for the events. The media should be used in the management of the tourism industry. Cooperation between the government and businesses should enhance the growth of the tourism industry.Implications/Novelty: The implication is that there may still be unresolved conflicts between the quickening pace of tourism growth and the protection of the area’s natural beauty.

Abstract

Aim: This research aims to find out if and how the Truku people of East Taiwan have managed to keep their traditions alive over time. Methodology Archival research, participant observation, and the use of a SWOT analysis all contribute to the qualitative nature of this investigation.Findings: The Truku people, it can be said with confidence, serve as a prime illustration of the maturation of both tribal culture and the Seejoq language. The benefits and drawbacks, opportunities, and threats of tourism development for the Truku tribe have all been critically analyzed in this study. It has been discovered that the rituals of the May Bari of Truku can significantly revive the Truku people. Created based on its beliefs and practices.Implications/Novelty: Our original contribution is that we looked at how tribal pride in their ancestry has changed over time. This research bolsters the case for the widespread acceptance of tribal people into modern society’s networks, where they enjoy the same rights and freedoms as everyone else, not just in isolated communities.

Abstract

Aim: This research aims to learn more about the state of long-term care for the elderly and disabled in Southern Taiwan. A nursing home in a rural area served as the study’s case study.Methodology: A qualitative approach was taken for the study’s research design. The elder care market is analyzed using SWOT to determine its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.Findings: This research examined the elderly healthcare industry critically, highlighting opportunities and challenges, as well as potential solutions.Implications/Novelty: This research demonstrated that although elderly care management is a relatively new field of endeavor in Taiwan, it will soon constitute the bulk of the country’s healthcare industry. It’s essential for aging with grace and honor and for the efficiency of caregiving work to improve. The government should keep working to make long-term care services more available and of higher quality for the elderly with disabilities.

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.
