Educational Development (ED) remained outside the mainstream academic life of higher education institutions (HEI) for decades as appendages to learning and teaching transformation agendas. Four decades later, international higher education institutions require radical transformation of the former ED, AD, FPD and FD centres and initiatives to meet the needs of a new era, the ‘age of quality education’ in pursuit of research driven, discipline-integrated quality education approaches at Faculty, School, and College level. The paper presents a critical reflective review of educational development centres /models and highlights the shifting glocal (local and global) needs in HEIs for a comprehensive and integrated learning, teaching, and research approach to quality education. The author proposes that HEIs consider transforming existing centralized hybrid models of ED into discipline-integrated Quality Education Centres (QECs). The hybrid models may include several innovative approaches to institutional quality assurance processes drawn from the Australian Peer Review Portal initiative, the World Bank self-assurance training and development process in Bangladesh higher education, and the “subjects at risk” identification and review process at an Australian -Malaysian transnational university which implemented the PASS program to enhance student success. Discussion concludes with recommendations to establish discipline integrated QECs within institutions that embrace a sustainable, equitable, diverse, and inclusive quality education paradigm.","PeriodicalId":426882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Education and Society","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125464967","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}

In Malaysia, the deficiencies of traditional classroom instruction and the enhancement of language acquisition among secondary school students with the implementation of flipped classroom instruction are less apparent. This study examines the impact of flipped learning on the narrative writing performance of Form 5 students at SMK Lake. This experimental investigation included sixty participants. 32 students were assigned to the treatment group, whereas 28 students were assigned to the control group. The experimental group (the flipped classroom) was taught in a flipped learning mode, whereas the control group (the non-flipped classroom) received standard writing instruction. The data were gathered in a Pretest-Treatment-Post test design analysed using SPSS version 26. The results demonstrated that flipped learning had a greater impact on the improvement of the students' writing performance than traditional instruction. The findings could lead to future research aimed at understanding the impact of flipped learning on language instruction and acquisition. This research could also assist Malaysian educators in implementing or enhancing the existing flipped learning technique in English language education, particularly the instruction of narrative writing.","PeriodicalId":426882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Education and Society","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121739952","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}

Previously, the Academy of Language Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Johor (UiTMCJ) was also one of the faculties which actively appeared in organising its face-to-face induction programme with the new intake of English for Professional Communication (LG120) students. However, the unwelcome visit of pandemic Covid-19 has shifted everything to a new norm and one of them is the implementation of Open and Distance Learning classes. Yusof et al. (2021) highlighted that Malaysia Movement Control Order has made it impossible for the face-to-face interaction between students and educators to be executed thus, ODL classes were starred as the ultimate alternative. The shift has triggered nerve-wracking anxiety among the students, educators, and educational institution management. This is because e-mailing manuals, pamphlets, and other pdf files and hoping for the students to digest all the information seem insufficient. Therefore, e-InductionUni was introduced to celebrate their admission to the university and introduce them to university life, especially ODL. The e-module was executed with the participation of 80 LG120 Semester 1,2, and 3 students. e-InductionUni involves common platforms and applications used in ODL namely Telegram, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Google Form. Throughout the programme, students were trained to do some activities by using the mentioned platforms and applications for familiarisation as a preparation for ODL. Apart from that, the participants were also virtually fetched by a bonus section of e-InductionUni called e-CampusTour (e-CT) for campus sightseeing. The participants were then asked to answer a set of questionnaires for their feedbacks on e-InductionUni and their motivation to participate in ODL classes. The quantitative data obtained were analysed using SPSS for frequencies. The results yielded listed positive feedbacks from the participants in experiencing e-InductionUni and virtuous motivation to conquer ODL. The findings will be beneficial for higher learning institutions especially faculties in terms of some of the suggested activities that could be included as part of their virtual induction.","PeriodicalId":426882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Education and Society","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132806242","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}

However, there are only a few alternative points of view in terms of research bodies. Thus, this study sought to investigate and provide examples of the current trend of research on teachers’ PLC (2012 -2022) using bibliometric analysis. The data was collected from Scopus-indexed documents based on the ‘article title, abstract, and keywords’. 217 journal articles (JAs) and conference papers (CPs) were used for analysis. The frequency and percentage were analysed using Microsoft Excel, and data visualisation was done using VOSviewer and Harzing's Publish or Perish. The standard bibliometric indicators were used to report the findings. This study found that 94.47% of the total publication were JAs. Then, the growth of related publications was increased. English was the most prevalent language used in publications. The United States of America (USA) was the most productive in publishing most of both documents, followed by China. Science Social contributed the most to publishing both documents (93.09%) over the eleven years. An analysis of the most influential institution also was done. The institution from Singapore (Nanyang Technological University) had the most publications. The Journal of Professional Development in Education published the greatest number of articles related to the PLC of teachers. The citation analysis results can help to identify key authors and documents that shaped the course of this review. The keywords from a JA or CP summarise the key contents of papers. The emerging keywords used in JAs or CPs for PLC of teachers are Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), computer, and climate change, which aligns with The Sustainable Development Goal 2030 (SDG 2030). The result from this bibliometric review provides researchers a reference for any future research in this 21st century of Education.","PeriodicalId":426882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Education and Society","volume":"1 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114031489","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}

Despite developing active recruitment strategies, the higher education sector is still struggling with the critical issue of dissatisfaction with the service delivery experience among international students. As a result, there is a need to develop a model to comprehend international students' experiences with service delivery in higher education. In this paper, the theoretical foundation is explored to explain a systematic view of the customer (international students) experience phenomenon by specifying the relevance variables. The underlying theories include the means-end chain (MEC) theory, value-percept disparity theory, and theory of planned behaviour. These theories explain the customer experience in service delivery through a cognitive-emotional-behavioural path that links the causal interrelationships among variables. The variables include service personal values, service value, service quality, emotional satisfaction, and behaviour intentions. The empirical studies have supported the existence of interrelationships among these variables. The theoretical and practical (managerial) implications of the model developed are discussed, as are the directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":426882,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Education and Society","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116677506","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}
