“…Regarding the benefits of partnerships between student leaders and faculty and staff, it is also important to discuss the leadership orientations of faculties and staff and the outcomes/effects on the wellbeing, behaviours, achievements and performances of the student populace. Focusing on building faculty leadership skills with an emphasis on increasing student collaboration may lead to increased student performance [47]. Studies suggest that there might be no unique or universal approach to leadership that can improve all aspects of students' welfare.…”

In Ghana, student unionism has become integral to the leadership culture. Over time, this has witnessed successive national leaders emerging from the wings of student governance. Our study investigates the preferred leadership styles of students in Ghana. The study adopted a quantitative methodology. The population for the study consists of member-students of the Students Representative Council (SRC) of the University of Professional Studies-Accra. The sample comprised students offering various courses from levels 100–400. Ninety-five (95) students were selected using a simple random sampling technique for the study. Anchored on the contingency leadership theory, we found that students preferred to be led through a democratic leadership style (M = 3.52, SD = 0.45) than laissez-faire (M = 3.51, SD = 0.42) and autocratic styles (M = 2.3, SD = 0.72). We also found that senior students prefer autocratic leadership styles. We conclude that students’ preference for a democratic leadership style stems from the need to create a participatory environment. This gives followers a sense of ownership of the decision-making process. We also conclude that as students’ academic responsibilities increase, they may prefer autocratic leadership styles as it ensures that their needs are met quickly.

Junior social work faculty members face numerous challenges in adapting to their roles and preparing for continued work in academia. Many of these challenges center around the tasks of teaching and advising. Peer-led, mutual support groups offer an accessible and effective approach to facilitating growth. Such groups offer support that addresses several common challenges facing new faculty, primarily by helping to combat isolation, and facilitate group attachment. The article draws from literature on mutual aid groups; and provides several examples illustrative of group processes from a model version of the group.

“…In the initial planning of "teacher aspects, " most studies have considered teachers to be an important factor in e-learning implementation (Allison, 2015;Lamprou and Lvovskaya, 2015;Terosky and Heasley, 2015;Hamilton, 2016;Riehemann and Jucks, 2017;Smith et al, 2017;Thomas and Graham, 2017;Lin and Cantoni, 2018;Pettersson, 2018). The abilities of elearning teachers should involve two sub-dimensions: "Basic Competence" and "Course Design and Application."…”

To cope with the trend of e-learning and competition in global higher education, the Ministry of Education of Taiwan has promoted the "Project on deep plowing of e-Learning" to study the establishment of University e-learning knowledge systems, which will serve as a reference for universities to develop e-learning in response to the trends of the digital age. The research team developed a preliminary draft of the e-learning knowledge system through a literature review, modified it through the Delphi technique, and finally developed an e-learning knowledge system. The system consists of two dimensions: "organization" and "teaching team." The organization dimension is divided into the "level of preparation" and "execution and implementation" sub-dimensions. The dimension of the teaching team is divided into the "basic ability" and "course design and application" sub-dimensions for a total of 4 sub-dimensions. The dimensions and sub-dimensions are divided into levels, sub-levels, indicators, and the content of indicators. The results of the research include 2 dimensions, 4 sub-dimensions, 14 levels, 40 sub-levels, and 84 indicators.
