    The Relationships Between Learning Outcomes, Project-Based Learning, Assessment Strategies And Graduate Competence In Public Higher Vocational Education In China
    (2025-07)
    Li, Ming
    Bridging the skills gap between labour market demands and graduate preparedness is vital for the sustainable development of China’s Higher Vocational Education. Outcome-Based Education (OBE) has emerged as a promising approach, yet empirical evidence remains limited on how its core components contribute to competence development in specialised programs such as Cross-Border E-Commerce (CBEC). This study examines the relationships among intended learning outcomes, project-based learning, and assessment strategies, and their individual and combined effects on graduate competence in public higher vocational colleges (PHVCs) in China.

    Understanding The Economic Impacts Of International Branch Campuses (Ibc) In Uzbekistan: Insights From Graduates
    (2025-08)
    Tulkinovich, Muratov Bobir
    The number of international branch campuses (IBC) in Uzbekistan has grown rapidly in recent decades. The government has actively supported the establishment of these institutions with the aim of increasing access, quality, and capacity within the higher education system, as well as preparing qualified human resources for the national economy. Although the industry has matured and some IBCs have already produced several batches of graduates, the actual benefits and impacts of these institutions on the economy and society remains unclear. Therefore, this study explores the perspectives of IBC graduates on the economic impacts of international branch campuses in Uzbekistan, with a focus on human capital development.

    Cultivating Academic And Administrative Leadership For Philanthropic Fundraising: A Competency Framework For Fundraisers In Malaysian Research Universities
    (2025-09)
    Muhammad, Jamil
    Over the past few decades, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide are looking for alternate sources of financing due to reduced state fundings. PHEIs in Malaysia are also facing fiscal challenges after declining state support since 2015 and striving to meet the deficit through alternate sources of financing. Philanthropy has emerged as a viable funding alternative for Malaysian public higher education institutions. Although philanthropy in education has long historical tradition, but in recent decades greater attention has been directed toward the roles of leadership in fundraising efforts along with institutional development offices to increase its outcomes. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of academic and administrative leaders in fundraising and develop a competency framework with requisite competencies, skills, and behaviours suitable for HEI leadership in philanthropic fundraising.

    Hu, Xiaoling
    External quality assurance has become a pivotal aspect of chinese higher education, as the subject of quality in higher education has gained prominence in china since it is highly related to the prosperity of the economy and the stability of society. It developed very late and is also immature in china, particularly for private undergraduate colleges; the related research is limited. This study is to identify the elements of external quality assurance in private undergraduate colleges, to explore the changes in external quality assurance in private undergraduate colleges, to identify the challenges of external quality assurance in private undergraduate colleges, and to understand the expectations from stakeholders in external quality assurance and private undergraduate colleges. The researcher employed stakeholder theory and governance theories to guide this thesis. With regard to the methodology, the researcher designed the research through a qualitative case study with the guidance of epistemology and social constructive orientation. The interview analysis was utilised as the research instrument. The sample size was 17, six respondents from external quality assurance experts in one evaluation centre, and 11 middle-level leaders from academic affairs offices and employment departments in six private undergraduate colleges. The method also involves triangulation, data collection, data analysis procedures, and ethical consideration. The data was analysed by nvivo 1.71 mac version according to the research questions and sub-questions. It is found that in the first question, there should be various stakeholders in external quality assurance, particularly within the market, which includes third-party agencies, associations, parents, students, the masses, industries, peer colleges, media, public universities, teachers, and international markets.

    Adaptation Experience Of Overseas Chinese Studyingin Guangxi Province Through ‘Chineseness’ Perspective In Higher Education Institutions
    (2024-06)
    Li, Ying
    Global student mobility in higher education has witnessed an emerging reverse trend as students flow back to their ancestral homeland country. Yet, the influences of this similar ancestral background on their reverse education experience remain to be addressed. Likewise, an increasing number of overseas chinese students are choosing to study in china rather than in traditional western destinations. At the same time, it is still underdetermined whether their shared chineseness roots and origins can provide them with a smooth adaptation experience in china. Given that the adaptation of international students studying in china’s higher education institutions from similar backgrounds and origins is under-explored, what influence of cultural similarity on adaptation in china is still to be resolved. Thus, this study sets out to investigate the adaptation experience of overseas chinese studying in china’s universities with a focus on their chineseness background. Specifically, it is designed to examine how their ethnic chinese background, namely chineseness, interplayed with their adaptation experience in china. This study has employed a qualitative research approach and case study method through semi-structured interviews with 20 southeast asian (sea) overseas chinese studying in china.
