Disruption is not limited to the music, newspaper, taxi and food delivery industry, or to the provision of movies. New models of educational delivery have also been emerging, thanks largely to the affordance of new generational technologies and a willingness to break with traditional forms of supply, to a more demand driven model. These new business models, coupled with a slowness of the national regulators, has caught some tertiary institutions on the back foot, but some are now awakening from their slumber. With the bolder ones not being afraid to mix their metaphors

Background/Objectives: While the increase in classroom technology, it is necessary to examine how assessment is administered through technology. The purpose of this study is to understand how students and faculty are perceived and examine the effectiveness of the computer-based assessment in professional education courses (Educational Technology) at Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College, Iloilo, Philippines. Methods: The research design utilized in this study is mixed-method research. A computer-based assessment was utilized to assess students' performance in educational technology. This instrument was validated, and pilot tested to establish reliability. Each campus of NIPSC selected ten students of 70 as respondents during Academic Year 2016-2017. Frequency count, mean, standard deviation, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were statistical tools used for data analyses. Findings: The study's finding showed a high score of students in the posttest ensured better performance of the students in educational technology. The increase in the posttest per performance level of the students was due to an accurate measure of what they have learned in educational technology. The majority of students users agreed that online assessment was fasters than the paper and pencil form. Also, users agreed that online assessment is contemporary and more systematic. They also stated that online assessment is consistent with the teaching style, but they are less anxious. Furthermore, according to faculty and students, ninety percent (90%) believed that computer-based assessment accurately measures what they are teaching and what they learned in school, respectively. Novelty: With the current situation that the education system is in new normal, computer-based learning is important in flexible learning. And assessment using technology is a great help to both faculty and students. Thus, state universities and colleges (SUCs) should adopt this innovation to help teaching and learning.

International Labour organization (ILO) reiterates that the women also should be given the freedom to work – by choice,
in conditions of dignity, safety and fairness – Because it is integral to human welfare.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. “Tertiary Education” refers to “a level of education which
is beyond the secondary education, undertakes in tertiary
education institutions but in a wide variety of other
settings, including in secondary schools ( Whitman, 2003,
p. 191)
Tertiary education should not only focus on skills and
abilities of the grandaunts but also how the students may
feel about the educational experience (Abdullah, 2006)
4
Literature survey
5. Tertiary education provides benefits to the
society in terms of long term returns from
basic research, applications of new
technology and social cohesion
Thus, a students’ choice towards tertiary
education must be made accurately to enjoy
the benefits of tertiary education, including
employment
5
Literature survey
6. Government of a country should assist their tertiary
education institutions by increasing innovation and
high responsiveness to the requirements of a global
education markets (SALMI, 2003).
6
Thus, this study is structured to develop a
mechanism that leads to a Psychological
Paradigm Shift in students’ Demand and
Enrolment for various academic disciplines in the
Tertiary Education in Sri Lanka
Literature survey
7. Research Symptoms
• The tertiary education in Sri Lanka is faced with two
fundamental challenges-:
➢Less Number of Students entering government universities-: Out
of those passing the G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination only
17% enter universities while 83% are left behind
➢High unemployment rate-: The highest unemployment rate in
year 2018, was recorded as 5.1 percent and 13.2 percent for
male and female respectively (Department of Census and
Statistics, 2018).
• Consequently, those who have the money go overseas
using country’s valuable foreign exchange and many do
not return to Sri Lanka after qualifying which is another
big loss to the country as well as to the parents
7
8. Main research questions
• What are the salient aspects of the
global higher education and what is
their impact on Sri Lankan Higher
education?
• What are the deficiencies and how
those deficiencies be overcome?
8
9. Subsidiary
questions
What are the
factors affecting
program choice of
undergraduate
students in Sri
Lanka?
Can these factors
be organized under
a priority order?
Is there any
significant
difference of these
factors between
state sector and
non-state sector
university choice?
What is the
selection process
of a tertiary level
education
program?
9
11. AHEAD Program Results Area 1
• Increase Access to Higher Education in priority Areas for Economic
Development
• Objective of results area 1:
To increase enrollment in higher education programs of
strategic importance for economic development

12. Problem Justification
12
▪ Sri Lanka is falling behind many of the other countries that are
progressing at a very rapid level especially in Science and Technology and
skill development
▪ It is reported around 12,000 Sri Lankan students go overseas annually for
higher education opportunities. The drain on foreign exchange is
estimated at $ 50 million per annum
▪ Employability Survey Report 2017 of Wayamba University of Sri Lanka
(ESR – WUSL) reports that employability status of the graduates at the
general convocation of 2017
13. Problem Justification

15. Problem Justification
15
According to the figure, a
maximum unemployment rate
of 61% is recorded by the
graduates of the Faculty of
Humanities and Social Sciences
in University of Sri
Jayawardanapura, which clearly
shows that more than half of
the graduates face the problem
of unemployment after
completing tertiary education,
even in a renowned non-state
university in Sri Lanka.

SampleDesign
• Target population of
this study is all first-
year undergraduate
students enrolled in
their first semester
of a degree program
at state sector and
non-state sector
higher educational
institutes
DataCollection
• Primary data will be
collected using
questionnaire
survey, observations,
and interviews.
• Secondary data will
be collected through
Central bank of Sri
Lanka, Ministry of
Higher Educational
and University Grant
Commission and the
World Bank, and
UNESCO publications
StatisticalModelling
• Data entry and
filtering will be
followed by data
analysis. Descriptive
analysis and basic
analysis will be done
using SPSS software
• Advanced analysis of
survey data will be
analyzed using
Partial Least Square
Structural Equation
Modelling
18
19. Proposed Research Methodology
Advanced analysis of survey data will be analyzed using Partial Least Square
Structural Equation Modelling, which is increasingly been used by social science
researches as a second-generation technique (Hair et al 2017)
The variables in the conceptual framework will be tested using PLS-SEM. PLS-
SEM is used to develop theories in exploratory research (Hair et al 2014)
therefore PLS-SEM is considered as an ideal tool for evaluating the university
choice.
Indicator Reliability, Construct Reliability, Convergent Validity and Discriminant
validity will be used to measure the reliability and validity of the measurement
model. Multicollinearity, path coefficients, Variance explained (R2), Predictive
relevance (Q2) and the effect size (f2) will be used to assess the structural model
19
22. Economic, Social and Cultural Relevance
Approximately 150,000 students those who obtain minimum entry qualification for university education are
compelled to spend substantial money on tertiary education every year
At present, non-state higher education institutes commenced various degree programs through University
Grants commission and Ministry of Higher Education. Therefore, number of graduates is going to increase
significantly in the coming year
However, in contrast, there are considerable number of unemployed graduates already in the country. It was
reported that there were 57,000 unemployed graduates as at 31 December 2016 and this number may have
increased by now with the graduates of 2017 and 2018
If the country produces more and more unemployed graduates the ultimate impact to the economy and
society will be unbearable. This will lead to critical psychological repercussions unless a systematic approach
is introduced through a scientific research
22
25. Institutional Commitment
• 30 years in higher education
• 16,000 annual registrations for 185 educational programs (2007)
• Engineering & Management with Foreign Universities
• Own degree with UGC (2012)
• Logistics and Transport + Maritime Sciences
