While schools are the center of attention in many regards throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, programs that prepare educators have not received nearly as much attention. How has the reliance on technology, shifts in daily norms with health precautions, and other pandemic-related changes affected how colleges and universities are preparing teachers for their careers? This article walks the reader through the pandemic, from spring 2020, when the virus first shut down the US in most ways, to the winter of 2021. The authors, two educator preparation faculty members from both public and private higher education institutions in Massachusetts, reflect on their experiences navigating the challenges and enriching insights the pandemic brought to their work. Considerations for future implications for the field of teacher-preparation are delineated to think about the long-term effects this pandemic could have on higher education and K-12 education.

Descriptive Survey

There is a great demand to improve the research landscape among Higher Education Institutions in Cebu City. The objective of the research survey is to provide an inventory of research capability among the HEIs. Thereon, the data can be used to assist each HEI in the formulation of strategy to strengthen its research function. The study used the descriptive survey type of research that ascertains the research capability of the selected public and private higher education institutions in Cebu City. A self-made research operation profile survey questionnaire and interview guide sheet was utilized. The findings revealed that a very important institutional support in cultivating and nurturing the research climate are research incentives. Same importance in boosting the researchers would be the provision of facilities and equipment in support of research function. Primary facilities provide better research sources and output, while incentives provide good attraction to undergo research. HEIs research activities obtained their funding from their institutional budgets; however, they generate other funding sources and linkages to external agencies to support research initiatives. Aggregate of faculty and student researchers were considered to be important resources in research undertaking. An often neglected, but equally important aspect of research is the dissemination and utilization of research results. Research team development, evaluation of research and dissemination of research were the most common management needs of Cebu research directors. The public and private HEIs were generally capable in their research functions and undertakings. However, there are critical points that need attention and improvements.   Keywords - Educational Research; Descriptive-survey study; Research Capability of public and private HEI’s; Cebu City, Philippines, Asia

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of administration and faculty members in developing character education within public and private universities in Kuwait. It further aims to explore the value of character education in effecting the quality experience of higher education. Design/methodology/approach The researchers employed a quantitative research paradigm, using a questionnaire survey method to collect data from faculty members at major public and private Kuwaiti universities. They used Statistical Package for the Social Sciences to analyze a total of 298 questionnaires. Findings The findings revealed that universities do indeed play a “strong” role in student character education. However, within public universities, it is the faculty themselves who form the key ingredient in the process rather than the administrative body, which is perceived to have a “Medium” effect. Conversely, at private universities, the administration and faculty both merited a “strong” role in developing character education. Practical implications The study will provide leaders with several recommendations to improve the integrated development of universities through fostering character education. Originality/value While K-12 education has received significant attention regarding the moral and character development of students over the last few decades, this study, extends this research significantly into higher education; focusing upon character development at university and comparing its implementation at both public and private institutions.

Polish Law

Subjects relating to the history of law at Polish law faculties The article is devoted to subjects relating to the history of law taught at Polish law faculties. It is divided into two parts. The fi rst encompasses an analysis of subjects relating to the history of law, the second — to subjects associated with political and legal doctrines. The author analyses the teaching at public and private higher education institutions. The HEIs have been classifi ed on the basis of the 2018 faculties of law ranking of the Rzeczpospolita daily. The authors sought to examine, on the basis of the curricula published on the faculties’ websites, the teaching in not just law programmes, but also other programmes run by the faculties of law, e.g. undergraduate and graduate administration programmes or security undergraduate and graduate programmes. When it comes to non-public HEIs, the article focuses on the best four faculties of law in the Rzeczpospolita ranking.  Die rechtsgeschichtlichen Fächer an den polnischen rechtswissenschaftlichen Fakultäten Der Beitrag ist der rechtsgeschichtlichen Didaktik an den polnischen rechtswissenschaftlichen Fakultäten gewidmet. Er besteht aus zwei Teilen. In dem ersten wurden die rechtsgeschichtlichen Fächer analysiert und der zweite ist den Fächern aus dem Bereich der politischen und rechtlichen Lehre gewidmet. Im Text wurde die Didaktik an öff entlichen und nicht öff entlichen Hochschulen geschildert. Die Reihenfolge der einzelnen Zentren ergibt sich aus ihrer Position in dem Ranking der Rechtsfakultäten der Zeitung „Rzeczpospolita” aus dem Jahre 2018. Die Autoren versuchten, anhand der Lehrprogramme, die auf den Internetseiten der Fakultäten veröff entlicht werden, die Didaktik nicht nur an der Fachrichtung Recht darzustellen, sondern auch an anderen Fachrichtungen, die durch die juristischen Fakultäten geführt werden, wie z.B. an der Fachrichtung Verwaltung (Bachelor- und Masterstudiengang) oder Sicherheit (Bachelor- und Masterstudiengang). Hinsichtlich der nicht öff entlichen Schulen, so wurden die nach der Rangliste der „Rzeczpospolita“ vier besten rechtswissenschaftlichen Fakultäten analysiert.

The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Education brings together preeminent scholars to craft a comprehensive survey and assessment of the study of religion and education in the United States. Religion has been inextricably entwined with education in the United States since the days of colonial British America. Beginning with mothers schooling their children at home from the Bible, to the first establishment of Harvard College in 1636 with the principal mission to prepare clergy, the place of religion—and more to the point, whose religion and for what purpose—has been vigorously contested for nearly 400 years. This handbook aims to examine the current state of religion and American education from homeschooling to private religious schools to public schools to religious institutions and on through the range of public and private higher education. The book is organized into five sections: Frameworks; Lifespan Faith Development; Faith-Based K-12 education; Religion and Public Schools; and Religion and Higher Education. Within these sections forty leading scholars in the field of religion and education review these topics in thirty chapters. The contributors offer an in-depth synthesis of major issues within the field, while contributing to lively debates about the links between landmark research contributions and contemporary research agendas. Designed for an interdisciplinary audience, the Oxford handbook serves as a legacy project for leading scholars who are critically shaping the future direction of the field of religion and American education.
