Abstract
Educational aspirations play an important role in shaping students' educational trajectories and destinations. Drawing on longitudinal data from the TREE2 study, this paper investigates the effect of tracking on the formation and adjustment of the educational aspirations of Swiss students upon leaving compulsory school. We show that educational aspirations are highly responsive to the educational track attended in upper secondary education. While students in general education tend to stick to their aspirations, their counterparts in vocational programmes exhibit less stable aspirations.

Coronavirus disease has caused a pandemic across the globe and it is now representing a significant threat to global health. Certainly, managing COVID-19 as compared to other type of disasters comes with a lot of unique challenges to many sectors including the educational sector, especially to higher education institutions (HEI). Since the announcement of Movement Control Orders by the government of Malaysia, most of the Malaysia HEI students, including UTHM, have left their campuses, but the problems wrought by COVID-19 have not. Not only students, UTHM employees from academic and supporting staff are also worried about their future for not continuously working as usual. The aim of the paper is to propose a disaster decision support system by combining UTHM Tracker and MOBILISE Digital System, named as MOBILISE-UTHM Resilient Tracker (RITTER) for UTHM students to build resilience during the COVID-19 outbreak and further. To provide Real-time Intelligence for Rapid Disaster Response combining UTHM Tracker and MOBILISE system for UTHM students during the COVID-19 outbreak in UTHM.

Внедрение индивидуальных образовательных траекторий (ИОТ) обучающихся в учебный процесс обеспечивает вариативность содержательной, деятельностной и процессуальной областей образовательного процесса и обогащает образовательную среду. В статье представлен опыт реализации ИОТ в Самарском университете в 2021–2023 гг., выделены уникальные особенности и отдельная логика конструирования образовательных треков для основных профессиональных образовательных программ высшего образования (ОПОП ВО) по уровням образования (для бакалавриата и специалитета; для магистратуры). Подробно рассмотрен механизм наполнения блока «Майнор» дисциплинами, соответствующими брендовым компетенциям Самарского университета, на основе открытого конкурса дисциплин ИОТ. Оценить качество процесса формирования индивидуальной образовательной траектории можно по анализу вовлеченности студенческой аудитории. Приводятся результаты опроса первокурсников на этапе выбора дисциплин ИОТ, позволяющие выявить содержательные и организационные признаки осуществления выбора. Образовательные результаты и достижения обучающихся в процессе освоения дисциплин ИОТ формируются в виде личного профиля компетенций. Анализ данных анкетирования обучающихся по программам бакалавриата/специалитета и магистратуры, прошедших обучение по наиболее востребованным дисциплинам ИОТ, дал возможность сделать вывод, что дополнительными результатами обучения по ИОТ являются саморефлексия, самосознание и самоопределение обучающихся. Реализация модели ИОТ позволяет гибко настраивать образовательные программы для достижения целевых показателей Самарского университета.
The implementation of students' individual educational trajectories (IET) in training ensures variability of content, activities and procedural parts of the educational process as well as enriches the learning environment. The article deals with the experience of IET implementation at Samara University in 2021-2023, highlights its unique features and a dedicated logic of educational track design in respect to the main professional educational programs designed for higher education (MPEPHE) with due regard to the education levels (Bachelor's and Specialist's degree programs; Master's degree programs). The mechanism for Minor Block content filling with academic disciplines pertaining to the brand-based competences of Samara University, based on the open IET discipline competition, is examined in detail. The quality of the individual educational trajectory formation can be assessed based on the analysis of the student audience involvement. The findings of the first-year students survey when they selected IET disciplines are specified in the article, with due regard to the content and organizational features which their choice was based on. Academic achievements and educational outcomes of students when mastering the IET disciplines are fixed in the personal competency profile. The analysis of survey data of the undergraduate and graduate students, who majored in the most in-demand IET academic disciplines, led to conclude that self-reflection, self-awareness and self-determination are extra IET training outcomes. The implementation of the IET model allows for flexible adjustment of educational programs to achieve the performance targets of Samara University.

This study sought to establish the quality of educational provision in primary schools in newly resettled farms in Zimbabwe through the Fast Track land reform programme that commenced in 2000. The schools, meant to service children of the newly resettled farmers, were hastily set up without much planning, thereby raising concerns on the quality of educational provision. The research adopted a case study design in which Chiwodza School was selected as a single case for deep probing. Data were collected using ethnographic techniques such as observation, document analysis and interviews with staff at the school. An analysis and interpretation of data established that there was a plethora of problems that affected the teaching and learning process in schools in newly resettled farms in Zimbabwe, thereby affecting negatively the quality of educational provision. Prominent among these problems were poor infrastructure, shortage of instructional materials, inadequate support from the Responsible Authority and School Development Committees, lack of staff development for teachers and school heads, and a general negative attitude of parents towards assisting the schools. The study recommends, inter-alia, urgent government subvention in the provision of classrooms, teachers' accommodation and ablutions, while parents and the responsible authority, on the other hand, should assist with the provision of instructional materials.

Secondary school adolescents attending vocational tracks engage considerably more often in substance use and sexual activity compared to those attending academic tracks. Prior studies have sought explanations for these differences in higher levels of social-emotional problems among vocational students. This study presents a novel approach. Inspired by ethnographic and cultural studies, it examines the role of conceptions and expectations of adulthood in the association between educational track and adolescent substance use and sexual activity. Self-report data were collected among 1,568 Dutch adolescents by means of a web-based questionnaire. First, in a preliminary qualitative analysis, conceptions of adulthood were explored among vocational and academic students. Next, a mediation analysis was employed. Results of the qualitative analysis revealed that vocational and academic students had different conceptions of adulthood, with vocational students perceiving substance use and sexual activity more often as typical adult behaviors. The results of the quantitative analysis confirmed this finding and added that vocational students expect social role transitions earlier in life than academic students. Both factors mediated the association between educational track and adolescent substance use and sexual activity. Implications of the findings and future directions for research are discussed.

With the feminist movement of the late 1960's and early 1970's, "fast track" women eagerly sought advancement within male‐dominated Corporate America. By 1990 women succeeded in entry‐level and middle‐manager positions, but failed, with few notable exceptions, to make substantial gains in upper echelons. Many reasons for the failure exist, including family considerations, stubborn cultural and gender biases, and a lack of adequate training and educational opportunities. In response, and in frustration, many women have turned to entrepreneurship as a way to succeed at the top. Changing demographics, such as the new cultural and ethnic diversity, will open the upper level corporate doors for women as white males become the new minority entrant to the work force. The fast track derailment experienced by women over the past twenty years is temporary, and will begin to change by the end of the 1990's.
