Digital Innovation in Educational Management: A Student Performance-Oriented Data Management System for Private Institutions
type: item
description: Innovation in the field of digital management can improve the performance of students in the privately owned institutions. As technologies become increasingly central to education, valuable data management systems are becoming crucial to aid decision-making and performance analysis. Although numerous types of research are concerned with all educational technology, few studies concentrate on such parameters as the systems that track and interpret student performance to enhance performance at the educational institution in question. This paper seeks to develop and test a data management system to support performance-based assessment in private institutions, which will allow real-time data capture and monitoring of performance trends. The research will have a systematic approach to literature review (SLR) to find available frameworks, tools, and systems related to the student performance management process. Some of the key findings are that existing systems tend to lack integration with the student performance measures and are not able to give actionable insights to the institutional leaders. In this paper, it has been shown that a system that links academic performance statistics and administrative management is necessary in order to make a decision in an effective manner. The implications of this research suggest that the potential of digital innovations can be utilized by individual institutions to facilitate monitoring of student performance, making decisions via data, and improving the performance of education in general. The practice would be a step towards creating a sophisticated data management portal within the education sector, which would then lead to more effective, streamlined, and data-driven decision-making process. This will help the institutions to control and process educational data in a better way and enhance the overall results.

Language Identity Crisis and Guidance Strategies Among Students in Sino-Thai Joint Education Programs
type: item
description: This paper examines how students in Sino-Thai joint education programs experience language identity conflicts and the strategies that can support them. These programs, often taught in Chinese, place students between two linguistic and cultural worlds, which can create uncertainty about their self-perception. A qualitative systematic literature review was conducted, synthesizing recent studies on bilingual education and student experiences in Sino-foreign programs. The findings indicate that Thai learners frequently experience tension between Thai and Chinese identities, adapting by adopting Chinese in daily interactions while continuing to anchor themselves in their Thai cultural heritage. Communication style differences between the two cultures further intensify this tension. However, guidance strategies such as incorporating Thai cultural references, encouraging bilingual use, and promoting student agency can foster positive language identities. The study highlights the need for culturally responsive practices that affirm heritage while supporting integration into the host academic environment. Future research should further explore longitudinal impacts of identity negotiation and test targeted pedagogical interventions within Sino-Thai programs.

Bangladesh's Education Crisis : Challenges From Primary to Tertiary
type: item
description: No one should deny that in recent decades, "the standard of education in Bangladesh has degraded and, by all possibilities, has reached its lowest point." Unfortunately, education did not decline to such a level even after the fight for liberation in 1971. In every country, the government, elected and paid for by the people, is held fully accountable for all actions and outcomes. Autocratic countries are noted for employing 'people of their choice' without regard for quality or parliamentary board recommendations, leading to such phenomena. The public has the right to question about the deterioration of the government's employed and elected branches, as they suffer the costs. People elect representatives for specific times, and it's normal to wait till that time. In this scenario, the field is critical and the deterioration is severe, making it difficult for citizens to remain passive and see the situation. Any country's educational system is based on long-term experience, studies, analyses, and experimentation. In such a setting, no one should anticipate a recommendation for fundamental changes in education in such a brief paper.In this research paper we shall propose correcting existing systems and introducing new ways to promote good transformation of education.

This research focuses on how teacher attributes and innovative leadership affect the performance of education majors. A quantitative research approach was adopted in this study where data was collected using an online questionnaire surveying 280 undergraduate students across various universities. It contained innovative leadership, a teachers' attribute inventory based on the Big Five Attributes, and the Likert 5-scale self-reported student academic performance. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the Teacher's innovative leadership (ß = 0.469) explained greater variance in predicting academic performance when compared with attribute factors and showed significance at the 0.01 level when controlling for gender, father's education and mother's education. Out of all the attribute traits that were tested, openness and conscientiousness and being an extravert were among the most significant features.
