UNIVERSITY AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP: THE EDUCATIONAL AND STRUCTURAL APPROACHES ADOPTED IN ALGERIA, THE CASE OF SETIF 1 UNIVERSITY
Full text linkIn recent years, the Algerian university has encouraged students at the end of their cycle to create their micro- enterprise and startup to practice outside the university. They are called upon to face environmental challenges, job creation and innovation. This top-down desire enshrined in the MESRS directive falls to the university toact as a catalyst for efforts towards the socio-economic reality of its immediate and distant surroundings.
This article questions the educational and structural approaches implemented to achieve these objectives. Our method is based on the collection and analysis of information collected via the structures installed and qualitative interviews with the managers of these structures and teachers from three faculties: Architecture, Economics and Science.
The results showed that the university has equipped itself with support structures which work dynamically, including: an incubator, a CATI, a CDE and the BLEU. The educational aspect showed that the faculties combine between classic and semi-active method showing an insufficiency, induced by an ambivalent adaptation of the LMD system, the foundations of which are enrolled in learning the spirit of the entrepreneurship. We propose to adopt active methods with an immersion project and a bottom-up organization to achieve the targeted objectives.

A REVIEW OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Full text linkPurpose:The aim of the present is to examine academic dishonesty in exams and in preparing homework assignments among university students.
Method: Mixed method and purposeful sampling was used in the present study. Hundred thirty-two female students and 82 male students studying at the department of Guidance and Psychological Counseling and Psychology, participated in the study.
The Academic Dishonesty Tendency Scale and open-ended questions were conducted to assess student views on academic dishonesty.
Results: No significant differences were found in terms of gender, grade levels and between students studying at the department of Guidance and Psychological Counseling and the department of Psychology. The academic dishonesty tendencies regarding citation, of students studying in English were significantly lower than those studying in Turkish. On the other hand, a high number of students stated that they decided whether to cheat or not, or help cheat, according to the relevant circumstances, and that they viewed cheating as a form of cooperation.
Open ended questions showed that the rate of students who didn’t cheat and refused to help cheat, was higher than those who did. Also, students with a grade point average of 3 and higher, reported the lowest scores in cheating, dishonesty tendency at research and process of write up, and dishonesty tendency towards reference.
The rate of students who refused to cheat or help others cheat in exams was higher than the rate of students who accepted to cheat and help others cheat. Acceptance rates are as follows: cheating 21.96%, helping others cheat 23.36%.
Conclusion and recommendations: One of the main reasons behind academic dishonesty is peer pressure. Emphasis on principles such as honesty and fairness will help students internalize these values and generalize them in their academic lives. Teachers, instructors should be cautious to apply a fair grading system and to not unknowingly reward academic dishonesty

THE EFFECT OF THE FLIPPED CLASSROM (FC) MODEL IN IN-SERVICE TRAINING ON TEACHERS' SELF-EFFICIENCY IN PROJECT COMPETITIONS CONSULTANCY
No full textIn-service training is an important step towards contributing to the professional development of teachers and increasing the quality of education. Training is inevitable for teachers to meet the needs of changing educational technologies, pedagogical approaches and curriculum. Teachers need to learn constantly updated methods and strategies in order to teach students in accordance with their different learning styles, needs and skills. This research aims to reveal the effect of the FC model in in-service training on teachers' project consultancy self-efficacy levels. The study group of the research consists of Biology and Science teachers who voluntarily participated in project consultancy training in the 2021-2022 academic year. Within the scope of the application, three groups were formed from the participating teachers: FC model, face-to-face education and distance education group. In the research, a quasi-experimental design, one of the quantitative methods, was used. In accordance with the purpose and method of the research, data were collected with the "Project Competitions Consultancy Self-Efficacy Scale" before and after the application. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal Wallis, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research; While the scores obtained after the application in terms of general self-efficacy levels in the groups receiving FC model, face-to-face education, distance education and project consultancy training were significantly higher than the scores received before the application, no statistically significant difference was detected between the groups. Accordingly, it can be said that project consultancy training provided with all training methods has an increasing effect on the self-efficacy level
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN TURKISH HIGHER EDUCATION
Full text linkThis study examines digital transformation-oriented priorities and practices in Turkish higher education. While digital technologies are gaining importance in every field with Industry 4.0, the business-human-technology relationship has entered the digital transformation process in a broader and systematic framework. Many digital technologies, such as blockchain, big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, have occurred in almost all sectors. While the digital transformation process, accelerated by the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), increases the use and functionality of technology, digital technologies have become indispensable parts of individual and social life. While the digital transformation process increases the need for human resources with digital skills, digital technologies, which have gained importance with digitalization, have also led to the development of new professions. The digital transformation process has affected higher education as well as all sectors. Many digital-dimensional applications such as blockchain, metaverse, and digital twin, where digital technologies gain prominence in higher education, have begun to take their place. Turkish higher education also has a strategic role in the digital transformation process, training human resources, developing education and career relations, and university-industry cooperation. Implementing digital transformation-focused programs in Turkish higher education and training human resources sensitive to the digital economy has become more critical than ever in the digitalizing world. In this context, the first part of the study examines the concept of digital transformation and higher education. The second part reviews Turkish higher education's digital transformation goals and practices
