“…If, on the one side, all these Baldrige Model elements point to better quality and positive results, on the other hand, in the higher education scope, effectiveness is directly related to the performance of a crucial and relevant role for intellectual growth, through an advanced human resource production process, development of researches and promotion of advanced technologies (Kraipetch, Kanjanawasee & Prachyapruit, 2013). Cornali (2012) adds that the development and growth of the social and economic well-being of the countries are directly related to and depend on the quality of education.…”

Purpose – The objective of this article is to analyze the effectiveness of higher education management, according to the Baldrige Excellence Model in a Public Institution of Higher Education in Minas Gerais, based on the perception of public workers.Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative survey was carried out with the application of questionnaires to university employees. The collected data were submitted to multivariate statistical analysis using the Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-MEE) and Covariance (MEE-CB).Findings – The methods adopted confirmed that Leadership, Strategic Planning, Focus on the Client, Measurement of Knowledge, Analysis and Management, Focus on the Workforce and Focus on the Operation explain more than 75% of the effectiveness of the management of an IPES. This research corroborates with the Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence (2019), even if applied in Brazil, a different context from the original model.Research limitations/implications – The customer's perception was not collected in this research. For a greater depth of analysis of the construct and model, it appears that it is relevant to include the participation of the client in future research and expand the units of analysis.Originality/value – Know the elements that affect the management effectiveness of public institutions of higher education. With the model, the effectiveness of management is significantly explained, but the simultaneous correlation between all constructs is not proven and there is little leadership contribution. These results demonstrate the need for advances in the specifics of the model for the management of this type of institution.

“…Studies also elucidate that schooling as a social institution provides the essential needs of the society and to ensure they thrive and survive. According to Cornali (2012), it is widely believed that every country's social and economic well-being is dependent on the quality of their citizens' education. Zhao (2012) delivers a strong message that society's unwillingness to accept changes is one of the main reasons for failure.…”

The development of English language learning in any country is interdependent with its socio-cultural experiences. Learning is determined by the social, historical, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of its context. This study aims to explore the socio-cultural challenges of teaching English in a remote area. It was conducted in Pemana Island (East Nusa Tenggara) using the ethnography exploration. Pemana is one of the Indonesian government’s target locations for a teaching program to improve educational quality and overcome the problem of limited number of teachers in remote areas. This program involves bachelor degree holders of English being deployed to teach in the frontier, outlying and underdeveloped region. Several challenges of English teaching and learning emerge due to socio-cultural aspects. These include the economic situation of the society, the community beliefs about English teaching, and the ill-fitting curriculum with the social condition. The teaching implications are then discussed here.

Tarih girmek için burayı tıklatın.Even though the educational system in Greece is exceedingly centralized, the pioneering institution of "Experimental Schools" sheds a ray of light. The innovative and researching acts are systematically conducted in experimental schools with the aim to acquire, communicate and disperse knowledge. Based on previous research findings regarding experimental units' hypotheses was developed towards the argument that innovation is directly correlated with (i) leadership (ii) communication, (iii) interpersonal relationships among teaching staff, contributing to a more effective transfer of knowledge and educational effectiveness. Within this framework, the aim of the present study is to investigate the association between the innovation and the leadership style as well as the interpersonal staff relations of the educational unit, the motivation, the work satisfaction and the communication in an experimental school unit. The primary quantitative study was conducted, using a structured questionnaire, in an experimental primary school in Northern Greece. Data acquired were processed using SPSS v20 and AMOS v17 statistical software. In the first stage the process of descriptive statistics and crosstabs analysis was implemented, and in following stages, factor analysis and Structural Equation Modeling was conducted. Results indicated that innovation is strongly interassociated with motivation. Additionally, innovation is positively associated with job satisfaction, interpersonal relations, leadership and communication inside and outside the educational unit. The way the leadership is imposed is changing using innovation procedures and becomes more participative involving the whole educational staff in the process. The research outcomes indicated that through innovation an educational unit obtains openness to the community, resulting in interpersonal relations reinforcement and in transfer of knowledge. All in all, innovation affects the relations and the way people work in an educational unit to the better and it may be alleged that innovation positively alters the profile of the organization.
