Valdivieso","doi":"10.20533/IJIBS.2046.3626.2020.0058","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.20533/IJIBS.2046.3626.2020.0058","url":null,"abstract":"Since the adoption of the inclusive education (IE) approach, the Peruvian Ministry of Education has made improvements to the normative regarding special educational needs (SEN) students. However, implementing this reform continues to present numerous challenges. A recent study of the IE policy, conducted in 2016, concluded that the key problem was the lack of sensitization and low training of school leaders and teachers which prevented them from providing a better educational service to SEN students [43]. The evidence that links the role of principal leaders and IE is almost non-existent in the Peruvian context. Therefore, this qualitative case study seeks to fill this research gap by exploring the challenges, strategies, and training needs of school leaders in an inclusive school in Peru. The study was conducted in a school with a high performing school leader where it was believed that a more positive environment towards reform implementation could be found. Interview data was collected from school leaders, the administrative support staff, and teachers. The findings of this research work conclude that the selected school has been significantly successful in implementing the reform by promoting inclusive values within the school, working with the school community to improve school climate for inclusion, and developing professional learning communities to develop pedagogical strategies for inclusive teaching. This research provides important inputs for the design and implementation of leadership policies and preparation programs with attention to students with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":227467,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Business Strategies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114800385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study shows how the management of data in higher education affects the quality of academic research conducted by university lecturers in South-South Nigeria. The study adopted a factorial research design. The population of this study includes all the Faculty of Education academic staff in both public and private universities situated in South-South Nigeria. Using results of a survey administered to a sample of 602 accessible lecturers during data collection, one research question and one null hypothesis were resolved in the study. Multiple regression was employed in the analysis of data. Findings revealed amongst others that; data storage, data security, data retrieval, data sharing, and data re-use jointly contributed to the total variance in educational research effectiveness in terms of proper citations by 56.25%, problem-solving by 22.14%, knowledge creation by 34.50%, and generation of testable data by 36.88%; and their composite influence on educational research effectiveness in terms of proper citations, problem-solving, knowledge creation, and generation of testable data, is statistically significant. Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that data management practices play an important role in higher education that significantly influences the quality of research output in universities in South-South Nigeria. It was recommended among others that, there should be an up-to-date database or data warehouse in Ministries of Education where researchers can easily access data in order to increase the quality of researches by eliminating the problems of data fabrication and falsification.","PeriodicalId":227467,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Business Strategies","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127245313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
