“…To successfully adopt PBL, teachers need to transition from traditional instructional roles to becoming facilitators and guides in the learning process. Professional development opportunities that focus on PBL methodologies and strategies can empower educators to confidently integrate PBL into their language classrooms (Aziz et al, 2023). Another critical challenge lies in the assessment and evaluation of PBL outcomes.…”

“…The multifaceted nature of project-based work makes traditional assessment methods less suitable for capturing the diverse skills and competencies developed through PBL. Educators must explore alternative assessment approaches that align with the goals of PBL, emphasizing the evaluation of not only language proficiency but also critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills (Aziz et al, 2023). This research underscores the importance of developing authentic and comprehensive assessment tools to gauge students' progress and learning outcomes accurately.…”

In the era of the 21st-century knowledge economy, research universities serve as strategic pillars for fostering an innovative nation, leveraging their unique strengths to establish national scientific and technological forces that support high-level self-reliance in science and technology. Meanwhile, the professional development of lecturers constitutes a crucial component of research activities within these institutions. Nevertheless, inadequate research has been conducted in this domain, leading to a deficiency in societal impact. This study employs content analysis to explore the lecturers professional development in business school and to build a model of the lecturers professional development in the business school of research universities in the 21st century. According to the content analysis, the results indicate that lecturers effectively advance their professional development by fully exploiting the ample resources offered by business schools within research universities, integrating their attributes, international training programs, and scientific research for personal enrichment. The article suggests establishing a novel mechanism to foster the professional development of lecturers and facilitate the exchange and recruitment of talented individuals. Encourage professional development among lecturers and foster the dissemination of innovative resources, ultimately resulting in heightened production of high-quality research in academic institutions.

Designing information systems to accommodate the unique needs of various users receives a lot of attention in contemporary software engineering. One such distinctive requirement in the educational context is academic supervision. Academic supervision encompasses activities to assist educators in enhancing their skills for managing the learning process and achieving educational objectives. In vocational high schools, the primary educational goals are to prepare students for the job market and empower them to initiate their businesses. These goals can only be realized if teachers incorporate technical and entrepreneurial skills into learning. The main goal of this study is to assist school supervisors and principals in assessing and directing teachers as they incorporate ideas of vocational education into the teaching and learning process. The research methodology used in this study is research and development, which includes several stages: initial needs analysis and assessment of the current state of academic supervision; development, which involves the creation of a conceptual system model; system interface design; model validation and revision; and evaluation, which requires system testing, implementation, and deployment. Based on the initial investigation and analysis of academic supervision, particularly in the context of vocational education, this research presents a conceptual model and system interface design. The outcomes of this research encompass the interface, system architecture, and user guide for the academic e-supervision system. An expert analysis of the user interface design indicates that the interface received positive evaluations from experts, with an overall average rating of 88%.
