Abstract: Only a few research papers study the pursuit of multiple degrees in Cambodian higher education context; today, it is a popular trend for students to pursue more than one degree upon when of their high school diploma or associate degree (Walker, 2012). However, taking more than one degree in Cambodian higher education raises the question of whether or not it offers a successful academic option for students. This study investigates the factors that influence students' decisions to take more than one degree. The study also examines the challenges that students have encountered during their academic life. Last, the view of students toward the multiple degrees is explored. A qualitative research methodology is adopted in order to answer these questions and analyze the phenomenon. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews are the two main tools used in this study. The study has found that there are many reasons why students decide to take more than one degree. Among them, the wish to broaden knowledge, increase job opportunities, academic interest, gaining knowledge that is complementary to the first degree, and the clarification of academic interests and future goals are the main reasons behind taking the multiple degrees today. However, most students have struggled with issues such as time management, health condition, and financial problem during their academic studies. Moreover, the study illustrates that the majority of students are satisfied with taking multiple degrees, while only the minority of students are not satisfied with the multiple degrees due primarily to low levels of concentration on lessons, repeating the same courses between the different degrees and taking on large workloads. Last, this study suggests a series of recommendations and further studies at the end of the paper. Subjects: College students - Cambodia

Although there is a remarkable increase in the number of higher educational institutions in Cambodia, the quality of tertiary education has not yet achieved a desirable outcome. Thus, the university management team, teachers and policy makers strives to make considerable progress to deal with this challenge. In enhancing the quality of teaching and learning (one of the target elements to improve) in Cambodian higher education, stakeholders have mapped out some practical strategies, yet overlooked the use of ‘student voice’. Therefore, this study was conducted to address the significance of ‘student voice’. The first purpose was to explore the university students’ perspectives on the importance of ‘student voice’ in learning and teaching in Cambodian higher education. The second was to examine the challenges that students encountered when it came to expressing their voice. Last, it aimed at gaining insight from the students on how teachers, students, and university could contribute to promoting the use of ‘student voice’. Qualitative research was employed to obtain rich information from the participants. Eight students in one university located in Phnom Penh City, Cambodia were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview with the data obtained being analysed by thematic analysis. The key findings of this study revealed that ‘student voice’ benefitted both students and teachers by improving the teaching strategy and academic performance. The findings also showed that when their voice was considered there was a positive impact on teaching and learning, and emotion and rapport, but negative impacts when their voice was ignored. Furthermore, students faced barriers when expressing their voice as voice givers, and from their teachers and management team as voice recipients. It also indicated that ‘student voice’ and the culture of respect were interrelated, and unexpectedly, this study also found drawbacks in using ‘student voice’. Explaining the significance of the findings in this study, ‘student voice’ plays an important role in Cambodian higher education, as it has the potential to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Therefore, the university, teachers, students and policy makers should consider using ‘student voice’ in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning, and work cooperatively to promote it.

This open access book presents a comparative study on how large-scale professional development programs for teachers are designed and implemented. Around the world, governments and educators are recognizing the need to educate students in a broad range of higher order cognitive skills and socio-emotional competencies, and providing effective opportunities for teachers to develop the expertise needed to teach these skills is a crucial aspect of effective implementation of curricula which include those goals. This study examines how large-scale efforts to empower teachers for deeper instruction have been designed, how they have been implemented, and their outcomes. To do so, it investigates six programs from England, Colombia, Mexico, India, and the United States. Though all six are intended to broaden and deepen students’ curricular aspirations, each takes this expansion of curricular goals in a different direction. The ambitious education reforms studied here explicitly focus on building teachers’ capacity to teach on a broader set of goals. Through a discerning analysis of program documents, evaluations, and interviews with senior leaders and participants in the programs, the book identifies the various theories of action used in these programs, examines how they were implemented, and discusses what they achieved. As such, it offers an indispensable resource for education leaders interested in designing and implementing professional development programs for teachers that are aligned with ambitious instructional goals.

Master's Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Pedagogy - Miscellaneous Topics, grade: A, Simon Fraser University, language: English, abstract: In a democratic country, in particular a country in the process of being democratized, high levels of civic engagement from the public are seen as necessary factors to sustain the principles and livelihood of democracy. In the meantime, education, especially higher education, plays a very significant role in promoting citizenship and civic activism. This study tries to identify the levels of civic engagement among students at the Royal University of Phnom Penh and to investigate whether higher education has any significant part in fostering civic engagement among the students. To this end, 200 senior students at the Royal University of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's oldest and largest public university, were surveyed. In the questionnaire, three main categories of civic engagement were used: (a) civic activities, (b) electoral activities and (c) activities for political voice. Results indicate that the students were engaged in only a few activities, but not many others. However, based on the results, the students showed high perceptions about civic activities and high attentiveness to politics and government. What is interesting, however, is that (higher) education and family-two fundamental social institutions-seem to have no significant roles to play in building civically engaged citizens. The findings appear to reflect the current socio-political developments in Cambodia. The study concludes that Cambodia's historical context and current social, economic and political situations provide a strong basis for the results of the study.

This book is the eighth volume in the Global Research on Teaching and Learning English series, co-published with The International Research Foundation for English Language Education (TIRF). It brings together the latest developments in research on teaching English in under-resourced contexts across the world, offering a window into the complex challenges that these communities face. Recommendations from research and experience in well-resourced contexts are frequently not relevant or feasible in different circumstances. Contributors explore local and regional assets and challenges to provide a deeper understanding of the difficult issues that language learners and teachers must confront, and they provide insights to meet those challenges. With chapters written by TIRF Doctoral Dissertation Grant awardees, the volume addresses the crucial and growing need for research-based conversations on the contexts, environments, and challenges of teaching English in areas of the world with limited resources, literacy levels, or other constraints. The volume includes sections on policy connections, teacher preparation, and practice insights. It is a useful resource for graduate students and teacher educators in language education, ESL/EFL education, and international education, and an enlightening reference for all readers with an interest in language education around the world.

This research project is concerned with Cambodian American students' undersentation in higher education. While numerous studies have been done on Asians heir success in the American Educational School System, few have focused their repreand tattention on Cambodian American students. The under-representation of Cambodian Americans in higher education appears to be a function of the model minority myth, family's socioeconomic status, parental expectations, and cultural influences. The struggles of Cambodian Americans to adapt into mainstream culture have altogether been ignored, and it is time that we take a closer examination of Cambodians and begin to understand their status here in the United States. In this study, I specifically addressed the ways Cambodian student's socioeconomic status, parental expectations, and cultural influences played a vital role in Cambodian students' decision whether or not to pursue a college education. I also examined their schooling process here in America, and a role school played in their current decision. I focused on the Long Beach area because Long Beach is home to the largest growing Cambodian American community in the United States (Rambaut, 1995). A significant proportion of refugees reside in Southern California; approximately 40% of them are concentrated in urban metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties (Rambaut, 1995). I took a qualitative approach in conducting my research. Several individual indepth interviews were conducted. These interviews supplied me with vivid detailed 6 narratives of the student's perception of what their parents' expectations and cultural influences were. A closer examination of Cambodian students' socioeconomic status allowed me to see whether or not socioeconomic privilege correlates to the pursuit of higher education at a four year university as opposed to a community college. Lastly, a glance at my interviewees' schooling process provided me with an insider's perspective in their schooling process and shed some light as to why there is an under-representation of Cambodian Americans in higher education. I drew upon theorist such as Randal Collins (1974), Michael Omi (1994), Howard Winant (1994), Patricia Hill Collins (1990), and Yen Le Espiritu (2003) to help understand the social circumstances that led up to the under-representation of Cambodian Americans in higher education. Discussions on conflict theory, racial formation, matrix of dominance, and notions of home were all included in this work to help broaden reader's understanding how and why Cambodian Americans are an oppressed group. Findings from this research gave valuable insight to some of the multiple barriers that Cambodian American students experience in their pursuit for higher education at a four year university. Through this research, I hope scholars and outreach coordinators can better understand the needs of Cambodian American students and address them accordingly to ensure the success of Cambodian Americans once they are enrolled in four year universities.
