Understanding the effects of educational decentralization through the perspectives of education managers and teachers
International Journal of Educational Management. 2022. Vol. 36. No. 7. P. 1206–1220.
Purpose
The study was designed to investigate the effects of the decentralization of education through the perceptions of education managers.
Design/methodology/approach
This was a qualitative case study research. The decentralization notification of 2014, issued by the secondary education department, Government of Balochistan, Pakistan was taken as a case. Some administrative and financial powers were devolved at cluster and district levels through this notification. In pursuance of data collection, focus group discussions were conducted with 20 education managers, 20 teachers, and 5 high-ranked education policy actors. The gathered data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Findings
The study found that the intent of the decentralization move was positive, where some of the issues of teachers are now resolved at district and school levels. However, academic decentralization was utterly neglected. Furthermore, with the inclusion of district administration in the education decision-making, powers seem to be recentralized. The study concluded that decentralization should occur through a proper legislative process based on sound planning. There should be a balance between central authorities and local/district-level education management in education management and decision-making.
Research limitations/implications
The study adds to the existing literature relating to education management and informs education managers, teachers, school principals, and policy actors for research-based and informed decision-making.
Originality/value
This study was conducted in a developing country to understand the effects of decentralized education management. The authors declare the organicity of the data. The authors also declare that the paper has not been submitted to any other journal or in review elsewhere.

This paper presents STiMUS (Stigmergy and Mutualism in Socio-Technical Systems), an agent-based model implemented in NetLogo 7.0. The model formalises two complementary coordination mechanisms in digital project teams. The first is stigmergy: contributor agents select shared artefacts to work on by following traces left by previous editors, without explicit communication. The second is mutualism: artefacts ...

Предложенная в нем парадигма образования, в названии которой на первом месте стоит слово «теология», свидетельствует о том, что образованию придается богословски значимый статус, оно строится в перспективе базовых ценностей человеческого бытия, связанных с богочеловеческими отношениями. Лишь в силу выстраивания этой вертикали образование может ...

Emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is revolutionizing teaching and evaluation in higher education. Early adopters have already demonstrated how large language model (LLM) conversational agents can serve as on-demand tutors, yet empirical evidence regarding their effectiveness in facilitating conceptual learning in non-computational domains is scant. Based on constructivist learning theory, this paper presents a ...

Knowledge abstractness is one of the factors affecting learning outcomes, particularly in learning from multimedia texts. However, most previous studies on multimedia learning have focused on manipulating pictorial abstractness, while the role of text topic abstractness remains largely unexplored.
Aims
1. Examine how topic abstractness influences multimedia learning outcomes when pictorial abstractness remains constant. 2. Investigate how ...

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) can benefit from Large Language Models (LLMs), but hallucinations pose risks to decision-making. This paper introduces an approach for creating MAS based on LLMs and proposes a generalized architecture for such systems. We ensure that reasoning is conducted through predicate logic to minimize errors, and LLMs are exclusively utilized to translate natural ...

Introduction:
Affective computing (AC) is increasingly used to study emotional processes underlying decision-making, yet its methodological validity in capturing spontaneous emotional responses and their behavioral relevance remains debated. In particular, it is unclear how facial obstructions and baseline correction affect the accuracy of AC-based facial emotion measures in capturing emotion–behavior relationships.
Methods:
The predictive validity of AC-based facial ...
