“…HoDs must be knowledgeable about "student affairs" to support effective departmental administration. Student affairs include a broad range of services and support systems intended to improve students' academic, social, and personal growth throughout their time at the university (Barnes, 2020). To efficiently distribute resources, address students' needs, increase enrollment rates, and improve academic quality, HoDs need a firm grasp of student affairs.…”

Developing the capacity of prospective heads of departments (HoDs) at universities is essential for promoting effective leadership and enhancing performance within higher academic institutions. This research investigated capacity building prior to appointment as a HoD in Ghana. The study aimed to enhance capacity building of heads of departments prior to their appointment as heads at the University of Cape Coast. A descriptive survey design was used, and 40 Heads of Department across the University Campuses were sampled for the study. A structured questionnaire was used for the data collection. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings show that all the academic HoDs in this study have not been offered any orientation/workshop or formalized training before their appointments as Heads of Departments. Most of the HoDs desired to acquire office procedures skills before they were appointed HoDs. This study has shown that academic HoDs in the University of Cape Coast do not have any orientation/workshop or formalized training prior to appointments as heads of departments. The university should provide training programmes and workshops for academic candidates (Senior Lecturers/Associate Professors/Professors) who are eligible for appointment as heads of departments to improve their administrative skills and competencies before their appointments to the position of HoDs.

“…This narrow framing is pervasive as most of the early student leadership development research has exclusively examined white students (Kodama & Dugan, 2013), while leadership education literature on AAPI students' experiences remain limited (Balón, 2003). Notably, during the 1980s and 1990s, higher education practices began to shift towards inclusive paradigms (Barnes, 2020), exploring alternative strategies to develop multicultural environments (Tierney, 1992). By the following decade, identity‐based leadership frameworks emerged, suggesting students of color understood leadership concepts relationally based on their racial background that encompassed “experiences of racism, historical roots, language, biculturalism, socioeconomic status, cultural values, nonverbal communication, and assumptions about the world” (Arminio et al., 2000, p. 498).…”

Leadership education within postsecondary institutions has often failed to consider the ways in which Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) make sense of their leadership identity. This article explores the role that Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions have in fostering AAPI leaders through culturally relevant practices and services that recognize and embrace students' racial and ethnic backgrounds.

“…It endeavors to broaden the intellectual perspectives of students, instill an enduring zeal for education, and nurture an ongoing commitment to personal and professional development [ 1 , 2 ]. To achieve the educational goals, the university promotes active student participation in hands-on learning experiences, internships, and scholarly inquiries, which bridges the gap between theoretical understanding and its practical application [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Undergraduate (UG) research is considered as an essential part of dental education. Numerous dental schools have included required course-based undergraduate research in their curricula. However, the implementation of UG research courses in the curriculum may vary between dental schools. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate student perspectives on UG research in the curriculum of Indonesian dental schools. A total of 203 participants from 10 dental schools returned the questionnaire. The participants were clinical students of the dentistry profession program who completed their undergraduate dentistry program from 2017 to 2022. The majority of study participants favored UG research in the curriculum of the undergraduate dentistry study program. Less than 20% participants perceived UG research experiments were not important in dental education. Factors that influenced these perceptions included the availability of adequate time to complete the course and sufficient support from research supervisors. Recommendations for improvement included providing an adequate time to complete UG research and adequate supervision to guide students to understand the conceptual background information of the research topics, designs, and scientific communication of data interpretation. Regular monitoring of students’ performance and progress would ensure completion of UG research courses in a timely manner. In conclusion, although UG research as a compulsory course in the Indonesian dental curriculum was well received by the students, overcoming the challenges is essential for the improvement of the research environment for undergraduate dental students.
