stakeholder communication

This paper presents a practice‑driven software engineering course model that centers the curriculum on multi‑term, client‑partnered projects to cultivate real‑world design, teamwork, and delivery skills at undergraduate scale. The approach combines a shared web application stack, agile project management with iterative demos and retrospectives, and remote mentorship from industry alumni to provide authentic exposure to legacy code, stakeholder communication, and production‑like workflows. Operational experiences (“war stories”) surface recurring risks credential leakage, privacy missteps, shifting stakeholder expectations, and deployment hurdles and translate them into actionable process controls such as time‑boxing, version‑control discipline, and early environment planning. Reported outcomes highlight growth in technical execution and soft skills, increased student ownership through community impact, and a repeatable structure that decouples principles from practicum to support continuity across semesters. The paper concludes with adoption guidance on partner selection, mentor recruitment, and technology standardization to help programs embed authentic, sustainable project work as a centerpiece of software engineering education.

This mixed-methods study had two aims: to determine the purpose of school administrators’ use of social media and to develop and validate a scale measuring those purposes. In the qualitative phase, 15 school principals were interviewed individually, and the social media accounts of five principals were analyzed to identify purposes of use. In the second phase, an instrument was developed and validated across two independent samples of school administrators attending separate in-service training programs organized by the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MONE). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA; n = 156), using principal axis factoring with direct oblimin rotation, revealed a three-factor structure: stakeholder communication, personal use, and professional development, accounting for 65.52% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; n = 148) supported the factor structure with satisfactory model fit (χ²/df = 1.60, CFI = .955, RMSEA = .064). Convergent and discriminant validity were established through average variance extracted, composite reliability, McDonald’s omega, and the Fornell–Larcker criterion.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of inclusive education policy in elementary schools in North Aceh District, focusing on four key aspects: communication, resources, implementers' disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving data collection through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The subjects consisted of nine key informants, including officials from the Education Office, school principals, special education teachers, homeroom teachers, and school committee members from two inclusive elementary schools. The findings reveal that the implementation of the inclusive education policy still faces various challenges. Communication among stakeholders is not yet optimal, resources such as teaching personnel and facilities are still limited, the disposition of policy implementers is not supported by an adequate system, and the bureaucratic structure lacks proper coordination. The study identifies that the ineffectiveness of policy implementation is caused by a lack of socialization, training, incentives, and the fragmentation among schools. The study concludes that stronger policy integration, improved resource capacity, and reinforced bureaucratic structures are needed to achieve a high-quality and sustainable inclusive education system

هدف این پژوهش تحلیل پیاده‌سازی سیاست آموزش فراگیر در مدارس ابتدایی شهرستان آچه شمالی با تمرکز بر چهار جنبه کلیدی شامل ارتباطات، منابع، نگرش مجریان و ساختار بوروکراتیک است. این پژوهش با روش کیفی و رویکرد مطالعه موردی انجام شده و گردآوری داده‌ها از طریق مصاحبه‌های عمیق، مشاهده و تحلیل اسناد صورت گرفته است. شرکت‌کنندگان شامل نه مطلع کلیدی بودند که از مسئولان اداره آموزش و پرورش، مدیران مدارس، معلمان آموزش ویژه، معلمان پایه و اعضای انجمن اولیا و مربیان دو مدرسه ابتدایی فراگیر انتخاب شدند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که پیاده‌سازی سیاست آموزش فراگیر همچنان با چالش‌های متعددی مواجه است. ارتباط میان ذینفعان هنوز بهینه نیست، منابعی مانند نیروی انسانی آموزشی و امکانات محدود است، نگرش مجریان سیاست توسط نظام مناسبی پشتیبانی نمی‌شود و ساختار بوروکراتیک فاقد هماهنگی لازم است. پژوهش مشخص می‌کند که ناکارآمدی اجرای سیاست ناشی از فقدان اجتماعی‌سازی، آموزش، مشوق‌ها و پراکندگی میان مدارس است. نتیجه‌گیری پژوهش بر ضرورت یکپارچگی قوی‌تر سیاست، ارتقای ظرفیت منابع و تقویت ساختارهای بوروکراتیک برای دستیابی به نظام آموزش فراگیر با کیفیت و پایدار تأکید دارد.
