Research productivity of teacher educators in a Philippine state university
Get PDFResearch productivity in higher education institutions (HEIs) is essential for university rankings and quality assurance. However, studies show that Filipino researchers, particularly in HEIs, have low research output. This quantitative study focuses on the research productivity of 100 teacher educators at a Philippine state university, analyzing it in relation to their professional characteristics. The results reveal generally low research productivity, especially in externally funded projects, research utilization, citations, awards, and intellectual property registrations. Significant differences in research productivity were found based on years of service, educational attainment, faculty rank, research teaching experience, and seminar participation. Teacher educators with more years of service, advanced academic degrees, higher academic ranks, research teaching experience, and greater seminar attendance tend to have higher research productivity. To improve research output, institutions should prioritize faculty professional development
Investigation of antecedents to teacher effectiveness of higher education sector in India
Get PDFThis paper aims to examine the variables involved in improving Teacher effectiveness through self-efficacy (SE) while focusing on higher education. The authors collected data from 600 usable responses from Northern India. The data was analyzed by structural equation modelling using analysis of moment structures (AMOS). The results indicate that drivers such as emotional intelligence (EI) and proactive personality (PP) contribute to the raised levels of SE, working as a mediating variable, which in turn triggers teacher effectiveness (TE) positively in the field of higher education. This study provides valuable insights for educational institutions to improve TE. The drivers propose that achieving widespread recognition of these factors necessitates implementing many training programs and workshops to boost TE. The contribution lies in providing a holistic study of TE drivers and the mediating role of SE in enhancing overall TE. This study is a new endeavor since it combines EI, PP, SE, and TE into a unified research model and tests it through empirical data. This study explores topics in research that have not been studied before by examining the interconnections between these variables with the context to higher education

Challenges for increasing the sustainability of engineering faculties: a case study in Indonesian private university
Get PDFIn Indonesia, the percentage of students dropping out from private universities is always much higher than that of public universities, and the second-highest number of dropouts comes from the engineering field. This study aims to improve the sustainability of engineering faculty in Indonesian private universities by obtaining variables that affect engineering student retention and finding the pattern for each category of student retention. Data was gathered through a questionnaire from 297 engineering faculty students. The questionnaire consists of 34 independent variables using academic performance, attitudes and satisfaction, academic engagement, social and family support, and four categories of student retention (persister, stop-out, slow-down, leaver) as dependent variables. According to discriminant analysis, grade point average (GPA) and student satisfaction in social relationships with fellow students influence engineering student retention. To increase engineering student retention, increasing student satisfaction in social relations with fellow students needs to be prioritized over GPA because the leaver and stop-out categories have a similar pattern, namely high GPA but low satisfaction with social relations with fellow students. Through this research, several efforts are proposed that need to be made by institutions to improve engineering student retention and the sustainability of engineering faculty in Indonesia
