“…[ 40 ] The counter argument is that it forced academics into exploring creative forms of assessment which shifted the focus from testing knowledge through rote and recall, toward manifestation of the higher order knowledge and skills required for that module. [ 41 ] In as much as there have been challenges to online learning, there is hope that the blueprint for fine tuning a more refined and sophisticated program delivery is now available.…”

BACKGROUND: This study sought to understand whether the theoretical components of the curriculum prepared students for clinical practice training in the Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) in Clinical Technology program at the Durban University of Technology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two samples were recruited, namely, academics and students using non-probability sampling methods. The first sample comprised 13 students, and the second sample included four academics, involved in teaching and supervising the placement of students at healthcare institutions. At least one student from each of the 13 units where clinical practice training was undertaken was invited to participate. Data was gathered using in-depth, semi-structured interviews on an adapted version of Gibbs’ cycle of reflection. RESULTS: Three broad themes emerged, namely, curriculum structure, factors that enabled graduate attribute development in the clinical environment, and the transition to online teaching. CONCLUSION: While it appears that the curriculum had in many ways prepared students for clinical practice, the study highlights key issues that may guide curriculum developers when seeking to improve preparedness of students for clinical practice. Furthermore, it underscores the need for continuous review of current curricula so that these are responsive to student and societal needs.

“…The most commonly used theory i.e. transformational leadership (Sulaiman, Rana, & Shabbir, 2020;Majali, Alkaraki, Asad, Aladwan, & Aledeinat, 2022) is supposed to be the most influential practice in the current era (Fadhel, Aljalahma, Almuhanadi, Asad, & Sheikh, 2022), and the most efficient in meeting the challenges of this age (Broome & Marshall, 2020). It is a leadership theory through which the leader works with the team to determine the required change , create a vision to guide the change through inspiration (Allam Z. , Asad, Ali, & Malik, 2022), and implement the change with the committed members of the group.…”

Transformational leadership is as an emerging theory in managerial leadership unlike traditional leadership, where a leader works with his team members by persuading them along with sharing responsibilities leading to achievement of unexpected results beyond their capabilities. Management leaders intends to implement transformational leadership style, yet they are unaware that it is not enough. Therefore, strategic issues like management of knowledge and organizational learning must be managed through transformational leadership for consulting firms in order to develop organizational innovation. The research focused on identifying the correlation between transformational leadership and employee innovation., A quantitative approach relying on a questionnaire was conducted. The study sample consisted of 371 employees who were selected through quota sampling from Dubai Customs. The results showed that the relative weight of transformational leadership amounted to 80.34%, with a mean value of 4.02 and a standard deviation of 0.34, and the relative weight of employee innovation was 67.99%, with an average of 3.40 and a standard deviation of 0.86. The Pearson correlation coefficient between transformational leadership and employee innovation R=0.269, which means that there is a correlation between transformational leadership and employee innovation at Dubai Customs in the United Arab Emirates. In addition, employee innovation was fundamentally affected by the independent variable (transformational leadership) and in a statistically significant manner. Furthermore, the findings showed the adjusted coefficient of determination was 0.166, which means that 16.6% of the change in employee innovation was due to the influence of the independent variable (transformational leadership). The study may help Dubai Customs in developing its employees creativity by developing the transformational leadership of its leaders, and helps it discover strategic elements for this purpose like management of knowledge and organizational learning.
