Abstract:

Thesis (Ed.D.)--Boston University<br>PLEASE NOTE: Boston University Libraries did not receive an Authorization To Manage form for this thesis or dissertation. It is therefore not openly accessible, though it may be available by request. If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at open-help@bu.edu. Thank you.<br>The New Haven Residents' Training Program [NHRTP] was formed in 1988 as part of a collective bargaining agreement between Yale University and Local 34 Federation of Clerical and Technical Employees. The program operates as a collaborative of Yale, Local 34, and Gateway Community Technical College. This dissertation research began by posing the following research questions: (1) What are the cultural elements of the NHRTP, relative to the program's methods for surviving in and adapting to its external environment? (2) Of these cultural elements, which directly affect how the program is administered? (3) What are some specific examples of how these cultural elements influence the way the program is administered? The qualitative case study method was used to answer the major research questions, using Edgar Schein's theory of organizational culture as a research framework. Data was collected over a seven-month period through observations on-site at the NHRTP office; interviews of university, union, and college staff members involved in the administration of the program; and review of program and partnership documents. The shared basic assumptions of the group (one aspect of the group's culture) were identified when the data demonstrated sufficient continuity and repetition of response. But as data collection progressed it was accentuated that the program functions in a notably relaxed manner, in contrast to publicly-funded job training program standards, and the research question evolved to: Why does the program's external environment, Yale University, allow it to operate in the notably relaxed manner that it does? The response to this evolved research question is addressed in the context of two predominant characteristics identified during data collection: (1) the program's lack of data collection procedures, and (2) the interpersonal relationships between program staff and students and between program staff and Yale University human resources staff. An examination of the significance of the primary and secondary effects of these program characteristics shows that Yale University allows NHR TP to function as it does because it serves as evidence of a successful working relationship between Local 34 and the university.<br>2031-01-01

Abstract:

Questa tesi è incentrata sulla localizzazione dall’inglese all’italiano della sezione dedicata al campus di Prato all’interno del sito web della University of New Haven. L’obiettivo di questo progetto è promuovere le attività del campus a livello locale e coinvolgere nelle stesse persone e organizzazioni del posto. Il primo capitolo fornisce una panoramica teorica sulla localizzazione e ne ripercorre la storia. Viene prestata particolare attenzione al modello GILT (Globalizzazione, Internazionalizzazione, Localizzazione, Traduzione) e alla localizzazione per il web. Il secondo capitolo si concentra sul web e sulla nozione di ipertesto. Dapprima si adotta il punto di vista degli utenti, analizzando le loro modalità di lettura online e il concetto di usabilità. In seguito si passa alla prospettiva dei redattori web, che devono possedere competenze specifiche per strutturare e scrivere contenuti web efficaci. Il terzo capitolo affronta il tema della comunicazione accademica istituzionale, caratterizzata dalla marketization, cioè l’uso della lingua con fini promozionali, e dalla humanization, ossia il fatto di associare un’istituzione ai nomi e ai volti di chi ne fa parte. Il quarto capitolo presenta un’analisi preparatoria alla localizzazione vera e propria. Dapprima vengono descritti l’istituzione e l’incarico traduttivo. In seguito si analizzano la struttura della sezione del sito da localizzare nonché i testi di partenza quanto a funzioni e tipologie testuali da una parte e tecniche di marketization e humanization dall’altra. Il quinto capitolo descrive le varie fasi del progetto: la selezione delle risorse linguistiche, la traduzione (con relativo commento) e, infine, la revisione, il controllo della qualità e la chiusura del progetto. La tesi termina con delle considerazioni conclusive che sottolineano le principali novità di questo lavoro e offrono suggerimenti per potenziali ricerche future.

Abstract:

This study aims to identify the perceived barriers to eye care and to evaluate concerns about vision and eye care among patients with diabetes in the greater New Haven area. A qualitative study applying one-on-one semi-structured interviews and non-participatory observations was conducted to identify the factors that deter diabetics from seeking eye care. Patients were recruited at the Yale Primary Care Center, Diabetes Center and Eye Center, who met the following criteria: 1) have been diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and 2) have been referred to an eye center for dilated eye exam and/or treatment. All interviews and discussions were recorded and transcribed. The transcripts were then analyzed to detect recurrent themes. Data collection continued until no new themes emerged. This study showed that lack of awareness and lack of adequate referral to regular diabetic eye exam were viewed as the most common barriers. Many patients had limited awareness that diabetes could affect the eye or lead to blindness. Patients had little knowledge of diabetic retinopathy, or the significance of early screening and intervention. Primary care providers usually emphasized diet and blood sugar control to prevent future complications; diabetic eye care education was not often prioritized. Other barriers included cost, lack of insurance, immobility due to diabetic complications, reluctance to receive medical intervention, and distrust of the services. A strong family history of diabetes and blindness due to diabetes contributed to the awareness of diabetic retinopathy, and as a result motivated patients to seek regular eye care. Raising the awareness of diabetic retinopathy and the risk of vision loss, offering more diabetic eye care education, tracking the status of patients eye exam attendance, and providing adequate eye exam referral to a patient friendly eye clinic may encourage diabetics to attend regular eye exams.

Full text

Abstract:

Compared with the population at-large, the Emergency Department (ED) population sees a high percentage of people with alcohol use and abuse problems. Therefore, the ED is well suited for the implementation of alcohol screening and interventions. It is important to be able to identify at risk drinkers who come to the ED for treatment for injury or other medical problems so that interventions may occur. Project ED Health conducted intensive interviews with harmful and hazardous drinkers presenting to the ED for treatment of injury or medical problem. The data was entered into a database and analyzed to find differences between injured and non-injured at risk drinkers. We found that 2/3 of at risk drinkers presented without injury. Compared to participants without injuries, injured individuals were significantly younger and more likely to be male. Injured and non-injured individuals had similar drinking patterns and health behaviors. Individuals at risk for alcohol-associated problems are similar in terms of drinking patterns and consequences and health status. Any screening tactic that is less than comprehensive, (i.e. that targets only injured individuals), will miss a significant number of at risk drinkers.

Abstract:

The article points how the knowledge society provides an opportunity to review the orientation and strategy of teaching methods in academia. It puts forward that "it is not only a matter of being leaders in the generation of new knowledge, scientific and technological production, transference of knowledge and innovation", but also that we need university to be the "critical consciousness of society, a hub for reflection, analysis and prospective about the evolution of society itself". Thus, it meditates on the goal of university and argues that it must focus its ability to transform the learning process on developing competences in students, not specifically for the labor market, but rather to achieve the students' full development as well as peace, social well-being and prevent inequity.<br>El presente artículo, en el contexto de la sociedad del conocimiento, señala la oportunidad de revisar la orientación y estrategia de enseñanza en el ámbito universitario. Se afirma que “no solo se trata de ser líderes en la generación de conocimiento o producción de científica y tecnológica, la transferencia del conocimiento y la innovación”, sino que además se requiere que la universidad debe ser “conciencia crítica de la sociedad, centro de reflexión, análisis y prospectiva sobre la evolución de la propia sociedad”. En tal sentido se hace una reflexión sobre la finalidad de la universidad, que debe centrar su función transformadora de aprendizaje para desarrollar en los estudiantes competencias, no tanto para el mercado laboral sino para lograr su desarrollo pleno, la paz, el bienestar social y evitar desigualdades.

Whitton, Peter David. "The new university : space, place and identity." Thesis, Manchester Metropolitan University, 2018. http://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/620806/.

Full text

Abstract:

Over the last two decades, campus redevelopment in the UK and worldwide has accelerated. University building activity is frequently justified by architects and managers as responding to 'market forces'. These claims are reflected in institutional discourses about campus redesign and a growing academic and media interest in the organisational space of universities. Discourses often emphasise the positive transformative effects of redevelopment without considering the wider impact on the everyday life of the university. This thesis explores the relationship between institutional space and the construction of individual, social and professional identities, using a case study describing a ten-year campus transformation project at Manchester Metropolitan University. Over this period, the university aimed to: consolidate the number of individual campuses from seven to two; provide new 'world-class' facilities for staff and students; create opportunities for 'improved' teaching and research activity; and develop the university brand. In real terms, this meant closing existing campus locations and relocating staff and students to an 'iconic' new building containing open plan academic offices and flexible student pods. The management discourse around this ambitious building project revealed a deterministic stance, predicting a variety of 'improvements' to academic working practices, student satisfaction and efficiency as a result of these environmental changes. Viewed as a whole, these spatial manipulations were intended to influence internal and external perceptions of identity and act as an indicator of successful change management. Three interpretive approaches are used to examine the social production of a new university space: thematic; visual; and dispositive analysis. The analysis uses the work of Lefebvre, Foucault, and de Certeau to argue that specific discursive, non-discursive and material/spatial techniques are bound together in the imaginations of university management. These techniques are then employed to dismantle 'outdated' working practices in an attempt to 'spatially fix' particular new conceptions of academic labour and professional identity that fit with the neo-liberal university project. Lefebvre's spatial triad is used to structure the discussion around three research questions that focus on the creation of identities via the conceived space of institutional designers, the perceived space of work activities and the emotionally lived space of university life in the new building. The research revealed a conceptual void apparent in the design of university buildings where spatial aesthetics are appropriated from other sectors to 'fix' the problems inherent in academic capitalism. The data show how particular spatial arrangements are used to discipline academic labour and encourage particular managerially sanctioned working practices. The thesis also demonstrates the lack of recognition given to physical artefacts and personalisation of space in the design of academic offices and the detrimental effect that this has on staff identity.

Abstract:

O presente trabalho abordará uma das mais polêmicas abordagens da segunda metade do século XX sobre Direito Internacional, a Escola de New Haven, a qual, segundo o discurso tradicional dos internacionalistas, teria maculado a distinção entre direito e política, tornando aquele instrumento desta ou, em outra versão, teria resumido o direito à política. Apesar de as críticas à proposta formarem um coro consistente, este estudo visará a demonstrar que, para fugir dos pré-conceitos, a Escola precisa ser lida na sua integralidade, e não apenas pelos julgamentos negativos, pois somente no todo se encontra a explicação para as suas idiossincrasias. Para cumprir essa tarefa, a Escola será estudada sob três óticas: a Escola de New Haven por seus contextos, a Escola de New Haven por ela mesma e a Escola de New Haven por seus defensores e críticos.<br>The present study will discuss one of the most controversial approaches of the second half of the twentieth century, the New Haven School, which, according to the traditional discourse of internationalists, would have tainted the distinction between law and politics, making the former instrument of the latter, or, in another version, it would have summed up law into politics. Despite the strong criticisms against the School, this study aims to demonstrate that, to escape from the preconceptions, it would be necessary to read the School in its entirely, and not from the perspective of the critics, because this would be the best way to understand its idiosyncrasies. To fulfill this task, it will be studied the New Haven School from three points of view: New Haven School by its contexts, New Haven School by itself, and New Haven School by its advocates and critics.

Abstract:

El presente artículo trae una discusión en torno a la aparición, en México, de mujeres indígenas licenciadas como resultado de la construcción de un modelo educativo que se pretende cuestionador de la lógica desarrollista imperante. Describe y analiza el papel de la política de educación superior intercultural como el detonante en la aparición de este perfil profesional, que viene mostrándose eficazen la generación de transformaciones, familiares, comunitarias y regionales. Parte de una discusión en torno al surgimiento de dicha política, y los debates en torno a sus límites y posibilidades, y aterriza en la propuesta específica de la Universidad Veracruzana Intercultural (UVI). Para ello analiza las narraciones biográficas de cinco egresadas de la primera generación y la comparación intergeneracional entre una de ellas, su madre, su abuela y su bisabuela, a fin de identificar lo que la experiencia en la UVI aporta a la constitución de estas nuevas actoras.<br>This article discusses the emergence of new actors among graduate students in Mexico, specifically of indigenous graduate women, who are one of the results of an educational model that intends to question the prevailing developmental logic. It describes and analyzes the role of intercultural higher education policies as catalyst for an emerging professional profile that is having important impacts in building new family, community and regional relations. Through the discussion of these policies, their origins, limits and possibilities, this paper focuses on the specific proposal of the Universidad Veracruzana Intercultural (UVI). It also examines the life experiences of five UVI female graduates, and concentrates in one case in which her trajectory is compared to the life experiences of her own mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Through these cases, the paper seeks to identify the ways in which the UVI contributes to the constitution of these new female actors.

Full text

Abstract:

In the past 15 years, there has been a concerted ‘Pentecostalisation’ of university spaces in Africa. Despite enormous growth in Pentecostal Charismatic Church membership and activities on African university campuses, and its attendant implications for academic and everyday life, there is hardly any study that explores this phenomenon. Thus, little is known about the complex entanglements between religion, politics and the dynamics of the everyday within the university campus and how this mediates students’ subjectivities. This thesis examines the lived experiences and everyday lives of university students at the University of Zimbabwe (UZ). The thesis is based on the narratives of students drawn through a qualitative methodology and more particularly, through participant observation, semi-structured and in-depth interviews over 15 months. Findings in this study revealed that university students convert and sign-up for new Pentecostal Charismatic Churches (PCCs) because they were imagined as spaces through which young people could forge supportive economic and social networks. PCCs’ gospel of prosperity and ‘spiritual warfare’ technologies were also deeply attractive to students who were caught in the hopelessness and uncertainty wrought by the country’s protracted socio-economic and political crisis. In this context, PCCs cultivate a sense of hope and optimism. However, although new PCCs reconfigure young people’s orientation to the future, many PCC promises remain elusive. The entrance of PCCs onto this university campus has also lead to institutional conflict as new churches struggle against the entrenched historical privilege of mainline churches- and the political influence of their followers in university management. New PCCs on the UZ campus have also become heavily involved in student and national politics, which further complicates their relationship with the university and the state. This thesis demonstrate the extent to which faith permeates every aspect of university experience for those who subscribe to its Pentecostal forms. I argue in this thesis that these complex linkages between faith and university life are mediated by the wider politics of the country, including linkages between the state and the university.

Full text

Abstract:

HAVEN FOR ALL HUNGRY SOULS: THE INFLUENCE OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND THE SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS ON MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE By Serena Celeste Wilson Morris Brown College is a small, private historically Black college located near downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The College is the only post-secondary institution in Georgia founded by Blacks for the purpose of educating Blacks. The relationship between Morris Brown College, and the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools presents an untapped area of research regarding the how external regulatory and fiscal contributing bodies influence the internal mission, culture and management of an institution of higher education. Morris Brown College presents a unique case because, since its founding, it has maintained a close affiliation with the Church that established it. Yet, in recent years, its financial existence has been dependent upon the receipt and use of public funding—which is intricately tied to accrediting standards and oversight. In 2003 the College lost its accreditation. This study employs an ethnographic case-study qualitative research design to explore how the College’s relationship with these bodies influenced the institution’s organizational structure, fiscal management, and administrative culture and identity. The study’s findings indicate that the College’s relationship with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools was largely reflective of the values, ideals, and perspectives of who represented the College at any given time. The College’s relationship with its founding body, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, was primarily maintained through the placement of Church members (largely clergy) on the College’s board of trustees, and evidenced in the College’s ideology and mission. Although an autonomous operating body, the College’s relationships with these two bodies are complicated by the institution’s reliance on continued financial support from the Church, and validation (in the form of accreditation) from SACS. While healthy working relationships with both bodies are not mutually exclusive, the internal planning, governance, and evaluation of the College must necessarily consider the values and expectations of these (and other) external entities.

Adult second language education strives to update media resources in an information era in which literacy encompasses the abilities to communicate both in different languages and in a variety of media across disciplines.<br>The main assumption underlying this study is that teaching adults to use language in an era in which networks and multimedia are major components, is a challenging task and responsibility. Instructional implications of literature regarding the implementation of new technologies in language learning suggest a persistent disagreement on the merits of new technologies as learning tools and a mismatch between expectations and applications of new media. I interview four teachers of second or foreign languages to adults to explore the challenges embedded in mediating adults' literacy in using multiple representations of second language knowledge within technology enhanced classroom environments.<br>Teachers are shown to integrate digital technologies into traditional print and audiovisual tools to advance three main literacies: Cultural literacy relates to the ability to make socioculturally appropriate links of language and media. Disciplinary literacy denotes the ability to effectively identify, analyze, evaluate and apply language resources in various contexts. Media literacy denotes the ability to make informed choices among the various language representations. Integrated media applications are challenging for teachers who need to be aware of media benefits and constraints. The ongoing development of teachers' media literacy is a prerequisite for meaningful and constructive uses of the instructional resources available that will enable adults to apply second language knowledge within and beyond linguistic, cultural, and disciplinary contexts.

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this case study on Divine Word University (DWU) is to explore the drivers that influence the organization to assume a particular model of organizing work and managing people in the pursuit of its goals. The key research questions therefore, focus on DWU culture, that is, the deeply embedded taken-for-granted basic assumptions whose influences are made visible in the organization’s behaviour and discourse. In particular, this thesis explores the behaviour and discourse associated with two aspects of the organization, the structure of decision-making and HR practices and processes. In exploring DWU culture, the study serves to explore the broader theme of university cultural emergence, embedding, cultural change, and organizational redefinition. Three ethnographic tools are used in the exploration: the semi-structured interview, documentary sources and observations. Having multiple data sources serves to triangulate the emerging cultural themes across the data sources. The data was collected over a period of six months. Documents were collected and observations made over the first five months. These serve to surface issues, concepts and themes around which interviews are conducted in the final month of data gathering. The findings show that the primary assumption defining DWU’s practices and which influences patterns of behaviour is the ideal of service linked to the missionary commitment to social advancement. This ideal has a profound impact on the culture of DWU. It provides the impetus for people to intervene to provide a service in a context where resource security is tenuous. Service in the context of this thesis is the ideal that serves as the impetus that motivates people, religious and altruistic oriented non-religious people, to render service for none or minimal material reward. This concept is contrasted with the concept of service associated with the university and taken as one of the tripartite knowledge functions. The findings also show that the outcome of the influence of service on DWU is that the behavioural expectations it promotes locate the university away from the behavioural expectations, as they are manifested in its decision-making structure and HR processes, of the collegial values-based organization. However, the findings also show that the distancing from the collegial cultural values and beliefs is nevertheless not a de-legitimization of the organization from the university field. In the contemporary context of organizational change that is allowing for the broadening of the university concept, emerging models of the university, such as DWU, occupy the contemporary end of the continuum of university models.

Abstract:

Introduction: Personality Trait theories uncritically accept the lay perspective of personality as an internal phenomenon linked to individuality and agency. This view flies in the face of empirical evidence demonstrating environmental influences on behaviour (Bargh & Ferguson, 2000). The idea that agency resides within individuals, and that a separation exists between individuals and their environment, has long been contested by theorists and clinicians arguing for acknowledgement of contextual factors (Skinner, 1971; Smail, 1999). Scores on personality measures based on the Five-Factor Approach (FFA; Costa & McCrae, 1985) have shown instability across the lifespan in relation to factors such as relationships (Neyer & Lehnart, 2007), and short-term changes in response to major adverse events (Lockenhoff, Terracciano, Patriciu, Eaton & Costa, 2009). That “personality” scores change in response to the environment highlights the weakness of the trait concept as a way of understanding behaviour. The move to university represents a major change of social environment that is sudden but predictable, and persists for a long time. It is therefore a time at which we can expect to observe changes in behaviour. Previous research into university acclimatisation and “homesickness” has assumed personality scores to be a static variable (e.g. Fisher & Hood, 1987) that impacts upon the relocation without being affected by it. This study sought to investigate the hypothesis that novel identity narratives would be evoked by a new environment and that this would impact upon acclimatisation. The study aimed to test this hypothesis by examining participant accounts. Method: First-year students (N = 7) completed two questionnaires designed to assess personality and homesickness. These measures were re-administered after six and fourteen weeks. Participants were interviewed at all three time-points, describing their experiences of adjusting to life at university. Interviews with participants were used as a basis for comparison with scores on psychometrics designed to measure personality and homesickness. These were analysed using a method that aimed at exploring narratives likely to impact on participants’ acclimatisation and presentation of themselves. The extended paper details a quantitative analysis of psychometric scores amongst a larger sample of 1st year students (N = 58). Results and Discussion: Participant accounts were analysed in terms of identity narratives to allow formulation of their experiences in relation to their psychometric scores. Participants described behaving differently at university and taking on new roles that impacted upon their acclimatisation. Despite reporting changes, participants expressed essentialist views about the self. Results from the quantitative study were not supportive of the hypothesis that homesickness would be associated with change on FFA measures.

Abstract:

This thesis describes and analyses the PhD candidates in the Humanities at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin and at Columbia University, New York, from 1871 to 1913 as well as the reforms related to the PhD programs at said institutions. The thesis uses primary sources such as the theses and curriculum vitaes of the PhD candidates but also the reports of the universities, statistics released, census records of government institutions as well as newspapers and biographical collections. The goal is to compare the PhD candidates at these two universities according to their numbers, age, gender, religion, place of birth and social background. It further includes a comparison of the reforms and transformation of the two universities with a focus on those which most affected PhD candidates. Instead of focusing on the careers of PhD candidates after they acquired their degree (as in most other studies), this thesis focuses on the background and the life of PhD candidates before they received their degree from their university. By doing so, this thesis will contribute to the understanding of the development of the universities and societies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, taking into account the debates regarding the German Sonderweg, the professionalisation of education and cross-border exchange among academics wherever possible.

Abstract:

Abstract Due to a decline in the number of domestic students in many New Zealand and other foreign Western countries' universities, there is more recruitment of international students. In New Zealand universities, beside the increase in the number of other foreign international students, the number of Muslim international students and especially Muslim women students has increased in the past few years. This is due to internationalisation of New Zealand education and the economic benefits which international students provide to New Zealand economy. The reason for undertaking this study is because as a Muslim women and a student myself, I wanted to investigate the adjustment problems of the increased number of Muslim women international students at the University of Waikato. This is because, it would provide information to researchers, theoreticians and policy developers regarding adjustment issues that might be specific to Muslim women. Unfortunately, this area is under researched; hence this study could assist in filling the vacuum in this area. The literature so far has discussed the adjustment issues of international students in general and from the literature there seems to be two main dominant areas where international students suffer adjustment problems. These two areas are the academic environment of the university and the socio-cultural environment of the university. The academic environment has many elements to which many international students are believed to face adjustment problems such as adjusting to the 'study shock'. On the other hand, in the socio-cultural environment, students are believed to face adjustment problem to the culture shock. However, there are many flaws in the existing literature which results in its weakness and hence the need for this study. In order to discuss the adjustment issues of Muslim women international students' one has to examine the educational background of these students. It is important to also examine the religious and cultural backgrounds of these students because religious beliefs and practices combined with their cultural background have an impact on their adjustment into the foreign academic and socio-cultural iii environment. Islam strongly encourages the acquisition of education for women. Looking at the history of Muslim women, one can find great scholars who achieved enormously from their right to education. However today there is great tension in the Islamic world regarding women's education which makes this issue very complex. This is due to the different interpretations of the Islamic scholars of the verses of the Quran, and Muslim people cultural and tribal codes. Therefore, many Islamic countries have taken different approaches to the education of their female population that is from very conservative to liberal ones. The qualitative approach used in this chapter helped in understanding the perspectives and world views of the respondents which would have not been possible otherwise. The confidentiality and anonymity of the respondents was catered for before conducting the interviews and pseudo names are used in this study to refer to the respondents of this study. This study is however limited in that the time constrain did not allow me to do a longitudinal study in order to discover the many un answered questions or ambiguous sentences. This study has revealed four major themes which were identified through this research as being specifically important to the adjustment of Muslim women international students. These women did not view their adjustment as a huge shift instead for them it required more of gentle shift in their adjustment. The similarities in the academic environment of the international students and that of New Zealand universities made the adjustment to the academic environment even smoother. There are also other positive adjustments these international students make while in New Zealand universities. They are more independent and are able to communicate in English language which for most international students seems to be main reason for coming to Western universities. There is need for the staff and students to understand the religious and cultural beliefs of these international students so that they can help them in the adjustment process. There is also increased need for the universities and policy developers to provide help and support for the international students. iv There are many issues that seemed to need further exploration which this study has not managed to find out. The research needs to be done to discuss the huge emotional or psychological impact on the international students' due to teachers' and local students' lack of knowledge of their religious and cultural beliefs. The researchers also need to investigate how this change in the personality and thinking of women impacts on them when they go back to their home countries. In theorisation, there is need to theorise the adjustments of students who belong to other religious and cultural groups and how it might impact their adjustment process. For the practitioners, there is need to investigate the role of the staff and institutes to clearly identify to the role of staff in how they could make international students transaction to the university smoother.
