Graduate School Professors' Motivation and Teaching Effectiveness: An Ex-Post Facto Analysis

In this research study, the intricate relationship between the motivations of graduate school professors and their effectiveness as educators in the dynamic context of graduate education is explored. Employing an ex-post facto research design, pre-existing data were analyzed to investigate the multifaceted connections between professors' motivations and teaching effectiveness. The study encompassed survey data from a diverse sample of professors representing various academic disciplines, including inquiries regarding motivations for teaching, teaching practices, and institutional demographics. The findings unveiled the coexistence of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations among professors, underscoring the complexity of their commitment to teaching. Intrinsic motivations, grounded in a profound passion for teaching and a genuine desire to positively impact students, emerged as robust predictors of effective teaching. Conversely, extrinsic motivations, such as career advancement and institutional recognition, also played a role but were less influential. Through correlation and regression analyses, the research demonstrated a positive and significant relationship between professors' intrinsic motivations and teaching effectiveness, even after controlling for covariates such as years of teaching experience and academic discipline. The identified discipline-specific variations underscored the necessity for tailored approaches to faculty development and support. These findings carry profound implications for graduate education institutions, administrators, and policymakers. They emphasize the pivotal role of intrinsic motivations in shaping effective teaching practices and highlight the importance of cultivating a teaching-centric culture. The study's implications call for faculty development programs that nurture and cultivate intrinsic motivations, discipline-specific approaches to support professors, and recognition and reward systems that celebrate teaching excellence. This research contributes significantly to our understanding of the vital connection between professors' motivations and teaching effectiveness within the context of graduate education. It underscores the significance of nurturing these motivations to foster a dynamic and responsive educational environment, benefiting both educators and learners in their pursuit of teaching excellence

Sharing The Responsibility for Underprivileged Students: Complexification and Ecosystem Leadership

This study investigated the applicability of complexification and ecosystem leadership theories in sharing responsibility for underprivileged students. The complexification theory advocates for the breaking down of complex education systems into smaller, interconnected components to effectively understand and manage issues related to underprivileged students. The ecosystem leadership theory, on the other hand, emphasizes collaboration and shared responsibility among different stakeholders to address complex issues. By utilizing these models, education systems can develop better approaches to sharing responsibility for underprivileged students with a focus on collaboration, shared understanding, and a commitment to achieving shared goals. To make education equitable for students experiencing poverty, the Guimaras State University must adopt ecosystem leadership, collaborate with others, and take collective responsibility for every student's well-being. Educational leaders must prioritize addressing the root causes of poverty by creating an inclusive approach that empowers students and promotes their overall well-being. Adopting ecosystem leadership and prioritizing collective well-being can create an inclusive and equitable educational experience for all students

E-Learning Development as an E-Teaching Innovation in Graduate Education

The rapid evolution of technology has brought about transformative changes in the landscape of higher education, prompting institutions to explore innovative pedagogical approaches. This case study examines the implementation of e-learning as an e-teaching innovation within the graduate education programs at Guimaras State University. The research adopts a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to comprehensively assess the impact of e-learning on graduate students and faculty members. The quantitative phase reveals a positive perception of e-learning, with a significant majority of respondents recognizing its usefulness and ease of use. This favorable attitude translates into a strong intention to use e-learning resources and a notable increase in actual usage. The qualitative phase provides deeper insights, highlighting the enhancement of student engagement, flexibility, and accessibility as key benefits of e-learning. However, it also identifies challenges, including technical issues and the need for faculty training and support. The study's findings underscore the importance of continued investment in technological infrastructure, faculty development, and institutional support. Clear e-learning policies and guidelines are recommended to ensure effective integration, and opportunities for collaboration and networking with other institutions are encouraged. By addressing challenges and capitalizing on the benefits of e-teaching innovations, Guimaras State University can further enhance the quality of graduate education and position itself as a progressive institution responsive to the evolving needs of learners and educators in the digital age. This case study contributes to the broader discourse on e-learning development and adoption in higher education

Oil Price Volatility and Business Profitability: Evidence from The Local Market

Role of Social Media In Business Management Students’ Communication Skills

This study explores the role of social media in business management students' communication skills. Specifically, the study aims to answer ten research questions related to social media use, benefits and challenges, perceptions, improvements, engagement, workplace attitudes, communication patterns and behaviours, training strategies, and academic performance. Quantitative and qualitative methods, such as surveys, interviews, and social media analysis, were utilized to gather data from business management students. The findings suggest that social media is widely used by business management students for communication purposes, with a preference for certain platforms. Business management students recognize the benefits of social media but also acknowledge challenges such as privacy and security concerns. The use of social media in communication positively influences engagement among students, but improvements in multimedia content creation and knowledge of privacy and security settings are needed. The survey findings suggest that business management students can benefit from several recommendations to effectively use social media for professional purposes. They should prioritize engaging in conversations, invest in multimedia content creation and promotions, increase their knowledge of privacy settings, improve their proficiency in social media analytics, participate in online courses, and seek opportunities to collaborate. By following these recommendations, students can leverage social media in their professional lives, enhance their communication skills, and adapt to changes in the business environment
