The attainment of Graduate Attributes, GA-1: Creative and Solution oriented, GA-2: Effective Communicator, and GA-3: Critical Thinker, by the graduates of Modern College of Business and Science, Oman, was evaluated using the Direct Method. Student grades in various courses that embed these GAs were accessed by mining data from the examination archives. The average scores of these GAs were compared with the benchmarked global test values of TTCT, IELTS, and CCTST respectively. The analysis revealed that, while the attainment of GA-1 is satisfactory, GA-2 and GA-3 need focus. Gender differences were noticed wherein female graduates’ attainment of GAs was found to be higher than male graduates. The attainment of GAs was not uniform across various departments in the college. Based on VUCA Theory, Social Penetration Theory, and Theory of Inquiry, this study attains significance in the light of HEIs attempting to provide job-ready students to the industry globally. This study establishes the practical implications of GA assessment in higher education and enables us to identify the GAs to focus on.
采用直接法对阿曼现代商业和科学学院毕业生的毕业生特质(GA-1:创造性和解决方案导向者;GA-2:有效沟通者;GA-3:批判性思考者)进行了评估。通过挖掘考试档案中的数据,获取了包含这些一般行动能力的各门课程的学生成绩。分别将这些通用考试的平均分与 TTCT、IELTS 和 CCTST 的基准全球测试值进行了比较。分析表明,虽然 GA-1 的成绩令人满意,但 GA-2 和 GA-3 需要重点关注。性别差异也很明显,女性毕业生的性别值高于男性毕业生。学院各系的一般公认成绩不尽相同。基于 "VUCA 理论"、"社会渗透理论 "和 "探究理论",本研究在高等院校试图向全球产业界提供就业就绪学生的背景下具有重要意义。本研究确定了通用能力评估在高等教育中的实际意义,并使我们能够确定应重点关注的通用能力。

Employability is significant to higher education. Given employability’s importance, higher education practice has been affected. However, employability is a complex concept with several stakeholders. Even though students are interested parties, their understanding of employability is not well-known. This paper is interested in employability from the student perspective. Its aim is to explore the student experience of employability within higher education. The research approach of a collective case study involving 11 students was taken. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews; students supplied employability related stories. Additionally, work placement reflections plus mentor feedback forms were examined. Findings confirmed employability is a multifactorial concept, however, a fit between worker and their work was considered most valuable. Importantly, certain factors influenced fit. Previous research has linked employability with a fit between worker and their work. Nevertheless, this paper stresses the significance of fit for students. It also collates factors affecting fit and therefore employability.
就业能力对高等教育意义重大。鉴于就业能力的重要性,高等教育实践也受到了影响。然而,就业能力是一个复杂的概念,涉及多个利益相关方。尽管学生是相关方,但他们对就业能力的理解并不为人所知。本文从学生的角度来探讨就业能力。本文旨在探讨高等教育中学生对就业能力的体验。本文采用集体个案研究的研究方法,涉及 11 名学生。数据收集方法包括半结构式访谈;学生提供与就业能力相关的故事。此外,还研究了工作实习反思和导师反馈表。研究结果证实,就业能力是一个多因素的概念,然而,工人与其工作之间的契合被认为是最有价值的。重要的是,某些因素会影响匹配度。以往的研究已将就业能力与工人与其工作之间的契合度联系起来。然而,本文强调了适合度对学生的重要性。本文还整理了影响适应性并进而影响就业能力的因素。

Unemployment is a global issue that impacts millions of people. Some studies identify the lack of hard skills as a significant barrier to entering or re-entering the labor market. It can also hinder job retention and limit opportunities for promotions and salary increases. Taking this scenario into consideration, this article proposes a strategy to address unemployment caused by the lack of hard skills, specifically targeting higher education students. This paper proposes a conceptual model designed for future implementation, which integrates university educational programs with the hard skills demanded by job openings in Brazil. To achieve this goal, a systematic literature review was performed, leading to the development and description of the conceptual model. The theoretical findings highlight the originality of this study, with the conceptual model serving as a preliminary step toward better aligning university programs with labor market needs through more targeted planning of higher education offerings.
失业是一个全球性问题,影响着数百万人。一些研究发现,缺乏过硬技能是进入或重新进入劳动力市场的一大障碍。它还会妨碍保住工作,限制晋升和加薪的机会。考虑到这种情况,本文提出了一项战略,以解决因缺乏硬技能而造成的失业问题,特别是针对高等教育学生。本文提出了一个为未来实施而设计的概念模型,该模型将大学教育课程与巴西职位空缺所需的硬技能相结合。为实现这一目标,我们进行了系统的文献综述,从而开发并描述了这一概念模型。理论研究结果凸显了本研究的独创性,而概念模型则是通过更有针对性地规划高等教育课程,使大学课程与劳动力市场需求更好地结合起来的第一步。

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted the job market through a surge in layoffs and the mass resignation of employees leading to the emergence of ‘The Great Resignation’. This study explores the perspectives of employers regarding skills gaps and hiring challenges with a focus on rural communities. A collaboration led by a prominent rural university department of Community and Workforce Development included industry partners, governmental agencies, a partner university, primary and secondary schools (K-12), vocational institutions, Chambers of Commerce, and Small Business Development Centers. Their objective was to examine the gap between employer needs and worker readiness. Leveraging the Triple Helix approach, a grant was awarded to fund a stackable pathway skills development program for high-demand industries in a rural five-county area. This program, the Industry Engaged Workplace Ready Program Model, is a two-phase, rapid-response approach for meeting emergent workforce needs by providing accessible training, education, networking, and mentoring to employable candidates. Findings revealed success in the program with mixed outcomes and room for program revision.
COVID-19 大流行对就业市场产生了巨大影响,裁员人数激增,员工大量辞职,导致 "大辞职 "的出现。本研究以农村社区为重点,探讨了雇主对技能缺口和招聘挑战的看法。由一所著名的农村大学社区与劳动力发展系牵头,包括行业合作伙伴、政府机构、合作大学、中小学(K-12)、职业院校、商会和小型企业发展中心在内的各方参与了合作。他们的目标是研究雇主需求与工人准备之间的差距。利用 "三重螺旋 "方法,他们获得了一笔赠款,用于资助一项针对五县农村地区高需求行业的可叠加路径技能发展计划。该计划名为 "行业参与工作场所准备就绪计划模式",是一种分两个阶段的快速反应方法,通过为可就业候选人提供便捷的培训、教育、网络和指导,来满足新兴劳动力的需求。研究结果表明,该计划取得了成功,但成果参差不齐,计划仍有修改的余地。

This study examines the nature of University-Industry collaborations (UI collaboration) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and proposes policy recommendations to enhance the collaboration process. Despite the importance of UI collaborations for nations to improve education, foster economic growth, and innovation, there is limited research on UI collaboration development and management in the UAE and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The study uses qualitative research methods to explore the perspectives and experiences of university faculty and industry practitioners involved in UI collaborations. The findings identify drivers of effective collaborations, such as institutional policies, funding opportunities, and research interests, as well as barriers including organizational culture, limited development of collaboration culture, and trust issues. To improve outcomes, institutions must change mindsets, seek partnerships, and prioritise relationship-building based on trust and the exchange of ideas.

Entrepreneurial activity, a subject of enduring intrigue among scholars, continues to captivate attention, especially in distinct contexts such as Morocco. This study undertakes the formidable task of comprehending and forecasting entrepreneurial activity using the comprehensive Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) dataset for Morocco. Employing a diverse range of machine learning classifiers, including logistic regression, random forest, support vector machines, gradient boosting, and K-nearest neighbors, our research excels in predicting entrepreneurial activity with remarkable accuracy. Notably, support vector machines emerge as the most potent classifier, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 95.33%. These findings transcend the inherent complexities of understanding the infrequent nature of entrepreneurial activity, providing invaluable insights into predictive modelling within the Moroccan entrepreneurial landscape. This research not only advances our comprehension of entrepreneurship but also paves the way for informed policymaking and the nurturing of a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. This underscores the critical importance of effective data handling and model refinement in achieving these milestones.

Today’s students need to be prepared for hybrid working to thrive in the contemporary workplace, and traditional assessment methods need modification to remain fit for purpose. Framing this as our point of departure, we propose that synchronous, online presentations offer an authentic assessment method with significant potential for enhancing student employability. Our essay highlights the benefits of the approach for students, lecturers, and employers while acknowledging the challenges that play out through resistance from universities and students. We conclude with a call for empirical research and stakeholder engagement to facilitate the authentic and impactful deployment of synchronous, online presentations.

Merit beyond metrics: Redefining the value of higher education 超越衡量标准的功绩:重新定义高等教育的价值
IF 1.7 Q2 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2024-06-24 DOI: 10.1177/09504222241264506
William E. Donald
In this provocative opinion piece, I challenge entrenched norms and encourage re-evaluating higher education’s true purpose and impact in today’s complex, volatile, and uncertain world. I argue for a paradigm shift to consider alternative ways to define the value of higher education beyond existing metrics. I propose (i) abandoning degree classifications, (ii) acknowledging that earnings alone fail to capture the full value of a degree, and (iii) ditching league table rankings to boost collaboration. By reconceptualising the value of higher education, we can foster a more inclusive environment and promote a sustainable career ecosystem to benefit all actors.
在这篇具有煽动性的评论文章中,我挑战根深蒂固的规范,鼓励重新评估高等教育在当今复杂多变、不确定的世界中的真正目的和影响。我主张进行范式转变,在现有的衡量标准之外,考虑以其他方式界定高等教育的价值。我建议:(i) 放弃学位分类;(ii) 承认收入本身并不能体现学位的全部价值;(iii) 放弃以排名榜来促进合作。通过重新认识高等教育的价值,我们可以营造一个更具包容性的环境,促进可持续的职业生态系统,使所有参与者受益。

The existing literature on the entrepreneurial transition of universities tends to focus on three main areas: management challenges, working conditions, and the professional identity of researchers. However, it is unclear how entrepreneurial practices actually exist in the new situation. This paper examines the influence of current policies and academic traditions on the emergence of academic entrepreneurship and the practices that emerge. The specific organizational context in Russia (post-Soviet planning traditions, bureaucratization, and extensive state funding of entrepreneurial activities) has created a contradictory situation for researchers, who have been forced to create local practices to address specific problems at particular moments. A theoretical framework that distinguishes between strategic and tactical entrepreneurship, based on de Certeau’s and Scott’s sociology of practice, is used to analyze these local practices in Russian universities. As a result, I have compiled a list of tactics, including academic entrepreneurship, buffering, bootlegging, window dressing, research portfolio management, commercial duty, duplicating organizations, and gray zone entrepreneurship. The study presents a novel methodology for examining the policy-application gap and offers insights into the discrepancy between statistical accounting and actual academic entrepreneurship.
有关大学创业转型的现有文献往往集中在三个主要方面:管理挑战、工作条件和研究人员的职业认同。然而,创业实践在新形势下究竟是如何存在的,尚不清楚。本文探讨了现行政策和学术传统对学术创业的影响以及由此产生的实践。俄罗斯特定的组织背景(后苏联时期的计划传统、官僚化以及国家对创业活动的广泛资助)给研究人员造成了一种矛盾的局面,他们不得不在特定时刻创造本地实践来解决特定问题。在德塞多和斯科特的实践社会学基础上,我采用了区分战略创业和战术创业的理论框架来分析俄罗斯大学的这些地方实践。因此,我编制了一份战术清单,其中包括学术创业、缓冲、走私、装点门面、研究组合管理、商业职责、复制组织和灰色地带创业。本研究提出了一种新颖的方法来研究政策与应用之间的差距,并对统计核算与实际学术创业之间的差异提出了见解。
