However, the global pandemic and changes to content delivery have altered the educational landscape. Hybridised delivery has resulted in the need for more innovative and contemporary means of accommodating student diversity, to suit both in-situ and remote learning platforms. Additionally, increasing student diversity in higher education has prompted a rethinking of how to accommodate student variance. This qualitative study sought to gauge the views of four educators, who were faced with hybridisation of content delivery during the global pandemic. Led by an overarching objective of ascertaining educator perceptions, responses and attitudes toward differentiated instruction, the study utilised four in-depth case studies to reflect on the implementation of differentiated instruction in the higher education sector. Results from this qualitative analysis yielded the view that time constraints, the coverage of prescribed content and increasing student diversity continue to act as barriers to authentic differentiation. While all showcased educators embraced the underlying philosophy of differentiating instruction to suit student needs, many were hampered by administrative duties which compromised their time and effort with regard to differentiation.","PeriodicalId":501239,"journal":{"name":"The Asia-Pacific Education Researcher","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185515","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}

Therefore, the present study aims to explore educational perspectives on fostering graduate employability in South Africa. The study underscores the significance of adopting a comprehensive strategy for education, emphasizing practical training, technological integration, and theoretical knowledge. The research investigates the role of policy and curriculum design in shaping graduate employability, specifically by prioritizing cultural, creative industries, and economic sectors. The study also analyzes the importance of creative teaching methods and the role of educators in encouraging students to think creatively. The novelty of this investigation is in its emphasis on inclusivity in the classroom as a means to engage students and develop skills that boost employability. The research investigates the impact of practical training, technology integration in teaching, and theory-focused lectures on the employability of graduates, assessing the potential benefits and implications of reshaping higher education policies to prioritize cultural, creative industries, and the economy, and explores the relationship between the integration of creative teaching methods by educators, involvement of students in the educational journey, and the creation of an inclusive classroom environment. The study findings offer a significant understanding of the perspectives of students and academic faculty regarding the enhancement of employability in tertiary education in South Africa.","PeriodicalId":501239,"journal":{"name":"The Asia-Pacific Education Researcher","volume":"155 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185516","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, the impact of AWE feedback on student writing, particularly in languages other than English, remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the impacts of Chinese AWE feedback and teacher feedback on Chinese writing revision, writing quality, and writing motivation among 7th grade students. Using an experimental design, the study found the following results: (1) compared to students receiving teacher feedback, those receiving Chinese AWE feedback conducted fewer revisions, showed a higher proportion of low-level revisions, exhibited a higher frequency of “deleting” behavior, and had a lower success rate of revisions. (2) Both Chinese AWE feedback and teacher feedback could significantly improve students’ writing quality from the first to the final draft. However, the effect sizes in the AWE group were smaller than those in the teacher feedback group. (3) Chinese AWE feedback positively impacted students’ writing motivation. Students receiving Chinese AWE feedback exhibited significantly higher writing confidence and persistence in the post-test compared to those receiving teaching feedback. Chinese AWE has the potential to facilitate personalized writing instruction and evaluation. The trend toward human–computer collaboration in writing education is expected to gain popularity in the future.","PeriodicalId":501239,"journal":{"name":"The Asia-Pacific Education Researcher","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185517","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}

It is similar to a production line wherein efficient returns are expected. An education system is efficient if it can achieve the best outcomes by maximizing the available resources. Determining how schools perform in terms of their efficiency may suggest ways to improve education outcomes for a given level of resources. The general objective of this study is to analyze the efficiency of an educational institution. This study employed a Poisson stochastic frontier analysis to formulate education production functions for the number of examinees achieving at least a minimum overall proficiency level. The model was also used to estimate the technical efficiency scores of some selected public schools. Technical inefficiency models were also constructed to identify predictors of inefficiency among public schools. In the case of the public schools in the Philippines, regional characteristics, school characteristics such as the presence of electrical supply, a higher number of Mathematics teachers, and community characteristics contribute to lowering inefficiency in public schools.","PeriodicalId":501239,"journal":{"name":"The Asia-Pacific Education Researcher","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185518","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}
