    The world is dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic, which has created enormous impacts on education, especially on learning management, requiring the adjustment and implementation of an online learning system effectively.The process of digital transformation has been promoted rapidly to adapt to new conditions in Education.Nowadays the online system has facilitated students of all levels to study at anytime and anywhere owing to the development of technologies.However, the existence and limits ofonline teaching and learning have been mentioned such as the complicated implementation or limited communication of active teaching methods compared to an actual classroom. Therefore, innovative teaching strategies and models are now required to be more diverse to encourage learners to focus on the lesson.In this study, we proposed an optimal paradigm of online learning management: the combination of several supported programs to effectivelymanage the teaching process. The approach has been appliedtothe Basic Informatics course for students majoring in Primary Education at the Thai Nguyen University of Education, Vietnam, and suggesteda flexible approach to stimulate learners' enthusiasm, express opinions, and actively participate in activities for enhancing their achievements. In addition, the investigation and discussion from lecturers and students about the digital transformation challenges in learning management also were presented and proposed the necessary information for the educational process

    Mending the Sacred Hoop: A Successful Indian Education Program Increasing Native American Graduation Rates

    Get PDF
    ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate the contributing factors which increased retention and a 90% graduation rate for Native students enrolled in a single Midwestern school district. A large disparity exists between the graduation rates of White students and American Indian/Alaskan Natives enrolled in public schools nationwide (National Center for Education Statistics, 2016). I investigated how an Indian Education program in partnership with a local school district provided a comprehensive plan to serve Native students. Interviews, documents, and observations were used to collect data. Native students navigated racism and historical trauma. The program components addressed historical trauma and the types of educational support needed to ensure higher rates of student success. The Indian Education program implemented strategies to counteract negative experiences of Native students in school. The components included: (1) fostering relationships and communication; (2) providing tutoring; (3) placing liaisons in schools; (4) providing summer programming and culture camp; (5) encouraging communication with Tribal elders, family, and Community members; (6) providing advocacy; (7) offering professional development; (8) supporting an alternative high school program; and (9) providing graduation incentives. Some of the implication and recommendations for improvement included an emphasis on Native history and culture; knowledge of boarding schools and its effectives; recognizing and adopting trauma-informed practices; offering professional development on race, racism, and bias training, improving curriculum, and providing direct support to Native students inside the classroom. Program initiatives increased Native graduation rates from less than 20% to over 90%.

    Free agents on underdog teams: international branch campus lecturers constructing the organizational integration of their individual and campus identities

    Get PDF
    In recent decades, many entrepreneurial universities have bolstered their student enrollments through transnational higher education, transporting educational products overseas to students in their home countries. International branch campuses (IBCs) are a prominent mode for delivering education offshore: These satellites of global universities provide mirrored parent-campus educational experiences to students in remote locations. More than 250 IBCs now exist worldwide, with high concentrations in Asia (C-BERT, 2019). Like multinational enterprise subsidiaries, the value proposition of IBCs is their products' global resonance, achieved in part through the efforts of IBC staff. Historically IBCs have relied on traveling parent-campus lecturers to reinforce their campuses' global ethos, however for financial and logistical reasons many IBCs are transitioning to local hiring of host- and third-country lecturers. Recent IBC literature frames this trend as one of risk, suggesting that non-parent-campus lecturers may lack the loyalty and capacity to effectively represent their global institutions. As the sector continues to localize IBC academic hiring, the organizational integration of IBCs and their lecturers is a key management concern. Existing literature on IBC contexts is limited, with a dearth of insights about locally-hired IBC lecturers' perspectives. In particular, the field lacks clarity on how IBC lecturers who are not nationals of the parent-campus country identify themselves and their campuses as part of their global universities. My research addresses this gap. Through a constructivist grounded theory study involving interviews with 36 lecturers and leaders across four IBCs in Southeast Asia, I examine the organizational integration of locally-hired IBC lecturers' constructed identities and explore the barriers to IBCs' global integration which could be addressed through management intervention. In exploring the perspectives of IBC lecturers regarding their roles and campuses I draw on emic metaphors analogizing lecturers to members of sports teams. I theorize that locally-hired IBC lecturers see themselves as occupation-focused "free agents" and their IBCs as disadvantaged university "underdogs"--constructions which impede IBC lecturers' global-university integration. Contributing to these constructions are contextual challenges as well as perceived disrespect from parent-campus coordinators--the "coaches" charged with guiding them. Connecting these theories I outline an overarching process of IBC self-distancing performed by locally-hired IBC lecturers: an "IBC Othering Loop" of perpetuated disadvantage and campus isolation. These theories present a compelling case for more proactive parent-campus engagement of IBC lecturers. My findings challenge previous literature assumptions that non-parent-campus IBC lecturers are inherently institutionally disloyal; instead, my research exposes the many factors contributing to IBC organizational separation, identifying multiple points of potential management intervention. I suggest that more supportive engagement from parent-campus course coordinators in particular would likely decrease locally-hired IBC lecturers' sense of global isolation. This engagement would help to improve the global-university integration of IBCs and their lecturers, aiding delivery on the IBC value proposition of globally-mirrored educational experiences
