The current discussion in the country involves two kinds of core literacy, they are totally different. Use the Western core literacy to interpret, to replace Chinas core literacy will be biased, causing confusions. Put forward some questions about “subject core competence”. To explain the necessity and urgency of the moral education, and put forward two “can not...
The aim of this paper is to report the findings of an investigation into the influence of organizational structures on the motivation of South African university employees to effective use HRIS. HRIS is a management system that assists organisations with the management of employees, employee's details and activities which aims to benefit the university collective duties such as strategic planning...
Commercial human spaceflight raises numerous medical, legal and ethical considerations with regard to the health and safety of civilian spaceflight participants (SFPs) and commercial crew. New and emerging space transportation companies are proposing a range of commercial suborbital, orbital, interplanetary and point-to-point space transportation. However, the diversity in mission architecture, operation,...
Healthcare system in America has moved to handle computerized healthcare data and even though the processing became easier it has also given rise to risks never faced before. With the availability of health data to customers via his/her mobile device, we're seeing Protected Health Information (PHI) data flowing through multiple layers before reaching the customer. This dynamic further increases risks...
The ethics and civic education of engineering students has been recognized as fundamental, however this training component is still very absent from the Portuguese engineering courses. Several concepts and perspectives may lead to include or exclude ethical education of the curriculum. Teachers are the main actors in the curriculum development process, and the students' voice and perspective in this...
Many graduate students from India are unaware of academic writing, plagiarism, ethical issues and research methodologies. Due to lack of appropriate or experienced teaching instructors in most of the institutions the standards of education and ethics in the education system are under serious threat. Such education system allows many students to practice unethical ways of pursuing an academic degree...
Since the end of the Second World War there has been a considerable growth in knowledge in what engineering education is about. This has been accompanied by a number of reports, particularly in the US, that to some extent are repetitive but in the language of the period. These reports were to a large extent based on informed opinion. These beliefs are deeply entrenched in Western Psyche and encompass...
The ethical and civic students' education in engineering courses has been recognized as fundamental, increasing the attention being paid to this issue by several entities, authors and thinkers. As a result, multiple Portuguese higher education institutions have been introducing this issue in the curricula of engineering courses. Are various the authors who hold that higher education is only complete...
Critical situations are situations where a complementarity between technical and non-technical skills is crucial. Several critical dimensions characterize them. In order to train for such situations, simulation systems have to be able to generate scenarios where these dimensions are present in order to solicit one or several non-technical skills. In this paper we focus on one particular critical dimension...
The paper deals with the humanitarian issues of cybersecurity, related to the ethical issues of IT development and the formation of an information society's culture. The experience of relevant educational courses' teaching in domestic and foreign institutions of higher education is used.
Life expectancy has increased in most industrialized countries and the number of older adults is projected to grow. Older people have a high prevalence of chronic mental and physical Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) (E.g. diabetes, osteoarthritis, heart failure, Alzheimer and Parkinson) with functional implications that lead to dependency. Thus, older people will require sometimes long-time interventions...
In early spring of 2015, an engineering faculty member approached the Director of the Leonhard Center for Enhancement of Engineering Education and asked for a four-hour ethics workshop for Penn State University graduate students who were involved with the National Science Foundation Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST)...
This paper describes an experiment for an interdisciplinary study at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences (FRA-UAS). It is a cooperative teaching approach of a professor for computer science and mathematics and one of communication sciences. All students of the university have to attend a module from the interdisciplinary studies pool and this means, the working groups are very heterogeneous...
This paper is to discuss on the effective use of simulation technology in the leadership teaching and learning at Institute of Higher Learning (IHL). This methodology is used to improve the leadership ability of the graduates at National Defence University of Malaysia (NDUM). It also enables the assessment of students' generic skills in the areas of practicals, communications, teamwork, work ethics,...
This paper aims to approach from the ethical perspective the relationship between medical education of healthcare services providers and globalization. Starting from the argument that the approach from the ethical perspective of medical education within the context of globalization allows for a better understanding of the requirements of contemporary medical act, the main issues refer to the ethical...
The article presents the model of successors' competencies in family firms. The model was created on the basis of empirical data collected in Poland and analysed with the use of Grey Clustering Analysis. At the first i.e. an empirical stage of the studies, a list of competences was identified which are estimated as significant for the successors. At the second stage, on the basis of significance assessment...
Through clever use of digital technologies Government agencies maintain knowledgeable well skilled employees to sustain their competitive advantage. An experimental research study was designed to investigate the interactive effect of instructional strategies augmented with either a digital instructional assistant or a traditional class-room tutor, and participants' preference for training-mode on...
Based on existing researches about the theory of multiple intelligences and physics experiment instruction, this paper analyzes several ignored intelligence in university physics experiment is also very important, such as musical -- rhythmic, naturalistic intelligence and existential and moral intelligence. Additionally, this study creatively puts forward the two-level instruction goal in physics...
Today's intense competition forces organizations to examine how they can improve performance as they seek to enhance their competitiveness. In order to design and implement an effective program for performance improvement, the interrelations among performance criteria and factors affecting them need to be understood. For this purpose, this study used interpretive structural modeling to represent the...
The government sector relies on continual employee reskilling. This paper outlines research to facilitate cost effective eLearning using advanced information communications technology (ICT) tools to enhance work-place training with assured predictable outcomes. The most desirable approach is to personalize an employees knowledge development through flexible online learning. Improved information technology...
