Abstract This qualitative study surfaces the kinds of acculturation and adaptation related problems that international students faced while they studied at the largest public university in Bangladesh. Qualitative data was collected and analyzed through face-to-face interviews with 82 international students. Findings show that in terms of acculturation, students faced homesickness, language barriers, socio-cultural issues and academic reactions to their new life. In terms of adaptation related issues, students faced psychological distress, practical issues like financial constraints, perceived discrimination and social exclusion. Considering these findings, it can be inferred that host language, social engagement, academic environment and hostel life play an important role in the acculturation experiences of international students. This study highlights the importance of host language in determining the friendships and overall adaptation of the international students.

Abstract The implementation of tools and techniques of the management of ethics in the academic environment has its own peculiarities arising from the nature of the expert, scientific, pedagogical, but also administrative work of university staff, requiring a considerable degree of autonomy and freedom. The aim of this case study is to present the views of university teachers and PhD students from a selected faculty of a public university in Slovakia on the implementation of tools and techniques for the management of ethics and to identify specific risks associated with the nature of the code of ethics and its introduction into practice. Qualitative research was conducted using focus groups during the implementation of the code of ethics, while quantitative research was subsequently conducted by an anonymous electronic questionnaire shortly after the introduction of the code into practice.

Two Phases

The pay and benefit satisfaction of public university faculty is examined in two phases. In the first phase, a model containing only demographic correlates is used to predict satisfaction. In the second phase, the demographic variables are coupled with a series of attitudinal variables. For compensation satisfaction, pay level was the primary predictive variable. In addition, dummy variables for several academic disciplines, as well as a number of the attitudinal variables, were also significant. For satisfaction with indirect benefits, perceptual variables were the primary predictors. Implications for the management of public sector university faculty and methodological issues are discussed.

Very High

The quality of education depends on several factors such as training for students, teaching activities, management of the school, and the teachers themselves. The teachers are the most important factor in successful teaching. Moreover, to influence student’s behavior, the relationship between a teacher and his student is the most effective influence. The study aimed to determine the level of teaching behavior and level of teaching performance of the faculty in the College of Technology in the University of Northern Philippines. Using descriptive-correlational method of research, the study used questionnaires as primary tools in gathering the data. Findings showed that the faculty had a very high level of teaching behavior along personal, teacher and students, involvement of student, influence method, discipline control, preparing teaching method, teaching process, classroom environment and facilities, work distribution, and learning strategy and social skill. Furthermore, the faculty had outstanding level of teaching performance. The level of teaching behavior of the faculty is not significantly related with their level of teaching performance. The teaching performance of the faculty should not rest on their laurels by enhancing some aspects of their performance like sharing learning objectives with students, promoting a healthy exchange of ideas, and using appropriate evaluation tools.Keywords – Education, teaching, behavior, performance, descriptive-correlational method, public university, faculty, Ilocos Sur, Philippines

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
