Abstract:

Intercultural education is one important aspect of foreign language teachings nowadays. The ultimate goal of learning a foreign language is to improve intercultural communication abilities and realize cultural communication with foreigners. English teaching in higher vocational college hasn’t payed enough attention on intercultural education. Teachers are lacking in cognition, knowledge and practice of intercultural teaching. Based on the current situation of intercultural English teaching in higher vocational education, the paper proposes that English teachers should strengthen the cognition of intercultural teaching, improve their cultural knowledge and practise more in intercultural teaching.

Abstract:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers from higher education faced challenges on how to adequately adjust their teaching from a face-to-face to an online format to train future teachers properly. The study aimed to illustrate participants' experiences regarding their training during virtual courses in an international Asian HE institution. The applied methodology was qualitative, with a case study as a research design, intending to understand participants' experiences and adjust the training model for virtual classes in a particular Asian context. The participants were MA and Ph.D. in education students enrolled in the Instructional Models class, delivered online. Data collection consisted of (a) a focus-group discussion (with five participants) lasting for one hour and a half; (b) document analysis (15 students' journals); (c) video records for five micro-teaching; (d) one study group that lasted for 60 minutes organized to reflect on the 14 micro-teaching lessons. After thematic coding of data, the results revealed participants' empowering experiences during training, with challenges and success in conducting micro-teachings for virtual classes. The participants recommended including more micro-teaching sessions to master the teaching strategies demonstrated and introducing basic training in using technology for those who did not have technological skills. With empowering but still challenging teaching experiences, for further studies, the recommendation is to apply the training model in an online context, for both pre-service and in-service teachers, from different levels of education.

Abstract:

Throughout the formation of Brazilian society, it is known that women were delegated to conditions of subordination and servitude in relation to men, and their performance was restricted to domestic and maternal activities. But with the Industrial Revolution, and especially from the 1920s, women, in addition to gaining greater rights to study, began to occupy roles in child teaching. This picture changed over the years and the female gender was also present in higher education. With this background, the general objective of this paper aims to understand the condition of female teachers in higher education in an attempt to assimilate the main points of challenges and overcoming to be faced. To this end, exploratory and quantitative research was used, through the study of theoretical framework and the application of online questionnaires, which enabled a better understanding of the points related to female performance in Brazilian university teaching.

Abstract:

The higher education plays as leadership role in the system of education. Quality education can ensure security, welfare and prosperity of a nation. The key factors influencing the quality of higher education is the quality of faculty, curriculum standards, technological infrastructure available, research environment, accreditation regime, administrative policies, financing, evaluation and good governance. The main objectives of the study were (1) To evaluate the indicators of good teaching. (2) To examine the institutional policies for valuing the teaching. (3) To examine the contribution of teaching towards professional development of teachers. (4) To find out institutional efforts for enhancing the professional development of teachers. For study purposes five federal universities of Islamabad were taken and their faculties were included in the population. Twenty teachers of each university were taken as the sample of the study. This sample was selected with the help of the students from each department. As students are considered tougher evaluators of the teachers so the selection of the good teachers was completed on the basis of the five common competencies such as competencies related to subject and subject area teaching, competencies related to teaching and learning, competencies in research work and competencies related to professional behaviour .This survey type study was conducted through a questionnaire. The study concluded that good teaching does not pay any benefit to teachers except self-satisfaction and also finding that the requirements for quality teaching are not available in universities. The present study recommends the higher quality of teaching may be ranked and recognized at local, national and international level.

Abstract:

This study aims to improve English Language Teaching (ELT) student teachers' teaching practice process with comprehensive and diverse feedback from four different mentors (two national and two international) and to help them better prepare lesson plans and micro-teaching considering intercultural perspectives. Non-parametric tests were used to analyze quantitative data gathered from the scores of five lesson plans and micro-teachings. Qualitative data were obtained from the written feedback to lesson plans, oral feedback to micro teachings and interviews, and analyzed by content analysis. Results showed that mentees' lesson plan and micro teaching scores increased significantly over the semester and this was especially notable in mentees' first three lesson plans and micro teaching. All participants favoured the study activities and suggested that e-co mentoring should be implemented together with face-to-face mentoring in some periods.

Abstract:

A pilot study was conducted in a regional university setting to promote awareness of the value of affective teaching and learning amongst staff and students. Academic staff and students from diverse disciplines at University of South Australia’s (UniSA) Centre for Regional Engagement (CRE) were recruited to the study. The research investigated whether engagement in mindfulness meditation by lecturers can improve their mental well-being and contribute to affective teaching and learning. The findings show that staff members learned mindfulness meditation techniques, improved their concentration and mental health status and also improved with regards to the implementation of the affective teaching skills. The impact of affective teaching practices on student learning and the perceptions of students about what constitutes ‘good teaching’ were also investigated. Students reported that the affective teaching of especially excellent teachers was improved through the meditation intervention. Furthermore they reported that the most important component of affective learning is that lecturers listen to them as students. The study provides important data related to the value of affective teaching and learning in a tertiary environment, as well as the potential impact on the social responsibility of graduates employed by regional businesses.

Abstract:

The flipped classroom teaching model has sparked heated discussions at home and abroad. This teaching mode is different from the traditional classroom teaching mode, on the one hand, it is conducive to promoting the overall improvement of teachers’ teaching ability and teaching level. On the other hand, it can cultivate students’ initiative in learning, exercise students’ critical thinking ability, and ultimately realize the cultivation of English talents in the higher vocational education stage. Through interviews and questionnaire surveys of Class 3 and Class 4 students of Grade 20 Business English major in Tangshan Maritime Institute, this paper introduces the concept of flipped classroom and compares and analyzes it with the traditional model of higher vocational English teaching in Tangshan Maritime Institute. In view of the advantages and disadvantages of the two, this paper proposes the reform strategy of higher vocational English teaching based on flipped classroom, and puts forward its own insights on future career development.

Abstract:

Teaching and learning grammar have become arduous tasks in the English classroom. On the one hand, students feel they are studying the same topics repeatedly. Teachers, on the other one, think students are not able to acquire the grammatical contents of the syllabus. As a direct consequence, it can be assumed it is high time to change the traditional methodology and introduce new approaches which allow us to involve students in their learning process. This paper is aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of using the flipped classroom approach when teaching grammar. As it is a learner-centred model, students actively expose to contents at home and the in-class time is used to do tasks related to the previously worked contents. The instrument employed for this study is a questionnaire designed to know students’ opinion about a flipped experience implemented in the English classroom. The results show that this teaching model can be a good option to avoid students’ demotivation when teaching English grammar.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this multiple-case study was to examine the ambiguity surrounding course learning outcomes and how they are perceived by faculty members in four private universities, while simultaneously investigating the dominant teaching perspectives, practices and assessment techniques. In parallel, theory of constructive alignment was shared with faculty members and students as a possible teaching-learning model. Design/methodology/approach – This study is a qualitative multiple-case study designed based on Yin’s (2009) case study protocol and Stake’s (2006) cross-case analysis report. In the process, 52 faculty members were interviewed, and 38 of the 52 were observed teaching, plus 15 of 52, faculty members participated in separate focus groups about constructive alignment. Further, 18 students were interviewed in separate focus groups to find out how they perceive effective teaching and constructive alignment. Findings – The findings showed why faculty members misunderstood the course learning outcomes. Both faculty members and students withheld similar perceptions when it came to efficient teaching; however, they disagreed regarding the utility of constructive alignment as a proposed teaching-learning model. The 52 faculty members were mainly knowledge transmitters and this contradicts with the notion of the learning outcomes, which is student-centered. In addition, they are not familiar with the teaching-learning theories or with the various pedagogical tools that may render learning constructive. Research limitations/implications – The fact that this study is a multiple-case study automatically implies that the results cannot be generalized within the larger higher education context. Nevertheless, the research findings can help to clarify the reasons hindering the proper implementation of the learning outcomes in other institutions, as it can serve as a guide to improve all the detected weaknesses, which may be applicable in other contexts. It can also aid administrative bodies at the different institutions in dealing with the obstacles that restrict the workability of the learning outcomes. Practical implications – Teaching in higher education must be nurtured through continuously investing time and effort in supporting faculty members to develop their teaching-learning skills to suit the changing profiles of students to render learning a durable experience. Originality/value – The study is unique in how it combined Yin’s protocol with Stake’s cross-case analysis report. Additionally, the classroom observation instrument was, to an extent, a precedent in terms of higher education research in the Lebanese context. Further, the results obtained added to the results of previous research, i.e. the reasons why the learning outcomes were not functional. Plus, a cyclical/retrograding motion learning model emerged in the process, and the practicality of the theory of constructive alignment in the Lebanese context was questioned.

Abstract:

Recently, a robust tool for assessment of different teaching methodologies in engineering education has been developed by the consortium of the iTeach project (www.iteach-chemeng.eu). The tool was initially tested for its applicability in teaching units of chemical engineering education, evaluating several educational approaches used to deliver core knowledge and employability competences in different geographical and educational contexts. After some modifications, the framework was subjected to a wider testing, including teaching units that are part of other engineering disciplines, but also, extended to other higher education disciplines. In the presented case-study, the framework, including six metrics, was used in the assessment of two pedagogical approaches, practical instructions via lab and self-instruction delivery, applied in the teaching units Microbiology and Engineering Economy, respectively. Necessary data were collected by online surveys, carried out among four target groups of stakeholders, i.e. academics, employers, graduates and students. The results of this testing will be presented and discussed.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to argue that substantive changes are required in both curricula and pedagogical practice in higher education institutions to challenge dominant epistemologies and discourses and to unsettle current ways of thinking about, and acting in relation to, the environment. Central to such a shift, it is argued, is the need for higher education curricula to be interdisciplinary and for pedagogical practices to work to build capacities in students for critical and reflective thinking. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, a case study of our reflections is offered on a subject designed to promote capacities in students for critical and reflective thinking via an interdisciplinary approach. The paper uses data from student reflective essays and student course evaluations to make an argument for the success of this approach. Findings Genuine transformative learning can occur within a constructivist informed pedagogical approach to teaching for sustainability. Research limitations/implications Research implications are that genuine transformation can occur in students’ thinking processes (which the paper argues is critical for effective education in sustainability) with appropriately designed courses in higher education. Practical implications More effective environmental actors and thinkers, who can critically engage with the complexity of environmental problems. Social implications Social implications include a more effective and socially just higher education for sustainability Originality/value The authors know of no other narrative that addresses attempts to educate for sustainability using this approach.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to identify higher order thinking skills (HOTS) among Malay language (ML) teachers through a lesson study. Two aspects were explored in order to answer the research questions, namely the nurturing of HOTS and the teaching attitude towards the implementation of the lesson study at school. Qualitative research is the research design used by the researchers. A total of seven ML teachers acting as participants in the research. Information is obtained through triangulation methods which cover interviews, observations and analysis of documents. The data interviews were analysed and transcribed verbatimally with study participants. The findings showed that there is a deepening of teacher’s HOTS through a variety of student learning activities during teaching. The participants in the study were positive and prepared for study of the lesson. Study lessons would be more effective if the workload of the teacher is decreased. Meeting time between teaching staff involved in the study of lessons should be included in the teaching schedule. The findings of this study are therefore important to consider the development of HOTS, which can be used by all teachers in teaching to make learning more relevant to 21st century learning.

Abstract:

Trends in the teaching of legal disciplines in the military higher education institutions (MHEI) (military educational units of the higher education institutions (MEUHEI)), require the use of methods that correspond to the modern requirements used in leading educational institutions. One of these teaching methods, so-called "case study", founded at the Harvard University Business School (USA) back in 1924. And although historically this method has existed for almost a hundred years, it is not actively using not in all higher educational institutions of Ukraine in teaching legal disciplines. This method is different from others, the possibility of assimilation by the student of practical skills that are especially important for the future lawyer, regardless of the immediate future field of activity (judge, lawyer, prosecutor, etc.). This issue is especially relevant in the context of distance learning process, since the ability to assimilate information by students and receive the appropriate necessary competencies depends on the organization of training using modern teaching methods in online learning. The effectiveness of teaching legal discipline directly depends on the systematic development of classical situations that are repeated in practice. Therefore, "cases" should be selected taking into account the following criteria: relevance, repeatability in practice, difficulties, efficiency, the possibility of combining with other teaching methods, etc. A feature of the application of the case method in legal sciences is that the legislation of Ukraine is constantly changing, and the rules of law have not been changed. An increase in cognitive activity, the formation of a stable positive motivation of students is possible when using "case-methods" of teaching. Regarding competencies, the student using of this teaching method, will acquire communication skills, leadership, the ability to analyze information, and decision-making in a stressful situation.

Abstract:

Despite the popularity of online course and degree offerings in higher education, a lack of data persists on the unique challenges and opportunities online faculty face. Gaining insights about these experiences is important to ensure the quality of online teaching as colleges and universities continue expanding e-learning programs. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the online teaching experiences of two faculty members through the implementation of reflective study methods. Major findings show that faculty access to professional development and mentoring, isolation and connectedness to the campus community, and academic freedom and curriculum control have significant implications for online teaching and student learning. In the wake of COVID-19 as colleges across the nation suddenly are faced with moving to exclusively online learning, this study is needed more than ever.

Abstract:

The growing use of technology for mathematics in higher education opens new pedagogical and technological challenges for teachers. The objective of this study was to analyze the teaching approaches and technology-related pedagogical competencies of 29 mathematics teachers (15 females and 14 males) from nine European countries. After conducting semi-structured interviews, the Approaches to Teaching Inventory (ATI-16) and the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework survey were applied. The results show large individual variations in teaching approaches, technological competencies, and institutional support. One-third of teachers apply a more student-centered approach, one-third a more teacher-centered approach, and one-third a mixed approach. Educating and supporting teachers in embracing educational technologies thus needs to be tailored strongly to individual needs and the available institutional support resources and infrastructure.

Abstract:

Purpose This study aims to examine six South African universities with a particular focus on the quality of teaching and learning. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study approach was adopted and data were mainly generated by means of open-ended questionnaires. The questionnaire was circulated to approximately 1,800 students and 746 completed it. The data were categorized and analysed thematically, using both national and international benchmarks for quality teaching and learning. Findings The findings reveal that teaching and learning in South African universities is marred by a plethora of challenges. Lecturers lack basic skills and essential resources to effectively facilitate teaching and learning. Furthermore, quality benchmarks set by the Council on Higher Education are only met on paper and little or nothing is done to translate this into practice. Originality/value The study proposes among others that clearer policies on funding are recommended to ensure proper allocation of resources, staff development and institutional comeliness. Finally, to enhance transformation, universities should prioritize teaching and learning and take steps to ensure that those teaching in the classroom are qualified to do so.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to establish common ground on how faculty development should be instituted and the needs it should address on an international level, with its major focus being the development of competencies. A survey was developed and distributed to a sample of 764 university teaching professionals. Results show that 90% find that it is either important or very important to develop competencies in higher education, and that 73% find they are well or very well trained in developing and assessing competencies, particularly with regard to applying theoretical knowledge in practice, teamwork, and oral and written communication skills. The least valued competencies are found to be entrepreneurship and leadership. The most valued teaching methods are: project based learning, immersion in a professional environment, visits, field trips, and anything that closes the gap between the professional and academic worlds. University teaching staff consider the best assessment scenarios to be those that involve a certain amount of immersion in real situations, problem posing, and simulation; the optimum measurement instruments use observation techniques and rubrics. The need to create academic teaching communities is found to be of great importance. A common assessment method is also seen as a useful addition.

Abstract:

Teacher education is one of the key strategies to enhance higher education quality and transform from traditional education to 21st-century-oriented higher education in Bangladesh. This paper evaluates the experiences of the Post Graduate Diploma in Higher Education Teaching (PGDHET) program gained through the journey toward developing a higher education teacher professional development program and implementing it. This six-month-long program, titled Post Graduate Diploma in Higher Education Teaching (PGDHET), was launched by the Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP). The key themes and elements of this teacher education program were academic program and curriculum, teaching-learning in higher education, professional practices in higher education, the well-being of students, ICT in higher education, assessment, research, and supervision in higher education. It offered a focused pathway for quality assurance activities, which is crucial in reinforcing and strengthening a culture of quality teaching-learning in Bangladeshi universities. A comprehensive, rational approach was adopted for developing this paper. Both authors were involved in the development of this program, so their voices were considered a valuable source of data. Their journal entries and conversations with various stakeholders were the primary data collection methods, whereas an intensive review of 86 higher education teaching-learning program programs offered by 80 universities on six continents around the world was supportive of understanding the global trends in tertiary teacher education programs. The analysis revealed that developing such a comprehensive program for tertiary teacher development was not an easy task, as many issues and complexities were involved, like the duration, vision and mission, design, and assessment guidelines during the development phases. The challenges were multifaceted and multidimensional, such as fitting the program content to be applicable across the teaching disciplines and ensuring its suitability for those teaching in face-to-face, flexible, and online learning environments.

Abstract:

The paper explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in foreign language study within the context of higher education. It discusses how AI has redefined traditional teaching methods by introducing innovative pedagogical tools. Through an in-depth analysis, the research illustrates the enhancement of communicative capabilities, where AI significantly improves the interaction dynamics in the target language among students. Presently, AI-driven language platforms enable personalized learning, catering to individual strengths and cultural backgrounds. However, concerns emerge about the potential erosion of traditional teaching roles in the face of AI’s capabilities. Yet, for AI to enhance the learning process, educators must possess robust digital competencies to effectively leverage AI technologies. Furthermore, the utilization of AI enables the customization of learning experiences, adapting to individuals’ needs, propensities, and skill levels, thus fostering motivation and commitment to language acquisition. AI’s capability to offer immediate and precise feedback is also highlighted as a critical factor in expediting the learning process and easing the anxiety related to performance evaluation. Moreover, the emergence of intelligent conversational assistants is showcased as a pivotal development in the domain. These AI-driven language bots act as virtual language partners, offering realistic conversation practice and proficiency evaluations that contribute to a supportive and boundless learning environment. While acknowledging the substantial benefits of AI in foreign language education, the paper concludes by reaffirming the irreplaceable role of human teachers as the central organizers of the educational process. It is implied that the successful integration of AI in language pedagogy rests upon its alignment with conventional teaching practices guided by experienced educators.

Abstract:

This study was aimed at investigating the lecturers’ need of a guidebook in the ER enactment within a classroom. The method used in this study was a qualitative research method making use of an online questionnaire and a semi-structured interview as the instruments to compile the data. The participants of this study were six lecturers implementing Extensive Reading in their classroom, three of whom are seniors, and the other three are novice lecturers. The data compiled from an online questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were then qualitatively analyzed and discussed. The result showed that an ER guidebook is, indeed, needed by those who are still lacking of experience in teaching extensive reading in which the contents are about choosing the appropriate books, accessing online repository, conducting ER, ER fun activities, and the potential evaluation, but it is not that urgent though it benefits to some cases for those who have been the so-called ER expert having years of experiences—more than two years—teaching extensive reading at class. However, using extensive reading guidebook might be a stimulus, for both lecturers in teaching, which is still open to innovative teaching invention in teaching extensive reading.

Abstract The rapid development of information technology has brought opportunities and challenges to English teaching. Online teaching has become a trend in language teaching, and it is also the core of the ongoing reform of English teaching. It not only changes the traditional English classroom thinking and teaching methods, but also changes the students’ learning environment and learning methods. At present, many experts and scholars at home and abroad have conducted research on the teaching activities of English network. Researchers have also put in a lot of effort and research to study how to use online platforms to help teach English. This article focuses on the study of multimedia-assisted English teaching in higher vocational education based on the Internet. First, it uses the literature research method to explain the problems in multimedia-assisted English teaching in higher vocational education, then puts forward some relevant suggestions for improvement, and finally uses the questionnaire method to analyze the multimedia A survey on the status quo of English teaching in higher vocational colleges was conducted. The results of the survey showed that the multimedia construction in schools is still good at this stage. Among them, computer equipment accounts for the most, reaching about 39%, and then the slide projector, accounting for about 32%. Regarding whether multimedia teaching can replace traditional teaching, 55% of teachers think that it can be partially replaced, and 31% of teachers think that the two should be combined.

Abstract:

Most of the underlying concepts that pervade what is typically referred to as “higher” mathematics are relegated to the arena of the mathematical elite. The research presented here demonstrates that, given the proper pedagogical environment, these concepts are quite accessible for early high school students. Through SchemePaint, a graphics enhanced computer programming language, students learned the mathematical notion that a function can be a data object. Further, students were able to apply their knowledge of functions from within the graphics domain to solve novel mathematical problems. This work suggests the need for a more elaborate study of how such early conceptual introduction of advanced material may preclude some of the problems which have been documented to pervade the later stages of students' academic career.

We all know that the interest is the best teacher. And it is also well known that higher mathematics is difficult to study curriculum. It is important to arouse the interest of higher mathematics. Computer assisted instruction (CAI) has an importance on modern teaching methods and it is also an effective one. In this article we consider the interactive activities between the computer and teaching activities. On the one hand is the theoretical link between the teaching and the computer, i.e., we want to let students know the application of the theoretical knowledge. On the other hand is the computer's application on teaching, i.e., we want to use the CAI to arouse the students interest of learning of higher mathematics. After the discussion we draw the conclusion that the CAI has an effective aid on higher mathematics teaching. And we also consider some questions of CAI.

Abstract:

Aim/Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic demanded an immediate and massive adaptation of higher education to distance learning. Teachers had to transform from face-to-face to distance teaching, with insufficient pedagogical and technological knowledge and resources. This study aims to capture higher education faculty experiences in the very early stages of the crisis-prompted transition into synchronous distance education in order to obtain a broader view on the faculty’s perspectives (benefits, challenges and insights) on distance teaching through synchronous online environments. Background: Although online teaching and learning have been part of higher education teaching for more than two decades, many instructors found themselves teaching remotely for the first time and facing new and unpredicted challenges. Methodology: This study explored and analyzed an e-mail thread discourse between teachers in a higher education institute, two months after “going online” due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A singular case study was conducted, and a retrospective and snapshot case study approach was used. Data analysis was an iterative exploratory process of going back and forth the empirical material, resulting in the construction of categories, then themes, and finally a conceptual framework was developed. Contribution: The findings contribute the knowledge domain of implementation of immediate and massive online teaching and learning from the faculty perspective. Findings: Two main focal points, students and teachers, were encountered. Three main recurring themes were identified associated with both students and teachers: Convenience, Ethical Issues, and Insights for the future. Two themes were identified associated with faculty: Pedagogy and Tools, and Resources. In addition, two themes were identified for students: Attendance and Responses. Each of the themes was decomposed into several aspects. Recommendations for Practitioners: Higher education institutions and stakeholders should build a campus wide e-learning agenda including appropriate infrastructure and professional development for the future. Recommendations for Researchers: The study presented a conceptual model based on qualitative case study methodology. The impact and influence of each of the components of the model should be further researched and measured using quantitative methodologies. Impact on Society: Understanding the benefits and challenges of distance learning from the faculty perspectives in order to implement better distance learning strategies. Future Research: The impact and influence of each of the components of the model should be further researched and measured using quantitative methodologies.
