Significance of the Study. This study contributes to understanding the connections between Indigenous heritage institutions and communities in the Caribbean context, moving away from the tourism- oriented framework in which museum collections are marketed. It explores the nature of Indigenous heritage collections in the Dominican Republic and the creation of these collections. The study evaluates the access to the collections beyond the current tourism framework. Museological practices that place community participation at the heart of their approach can expand an institution’s capacity to carry out educational and preservation initiatives (▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2007). This study provides future scholars with a foundational reference to help deepen their knowledge of Indigenous heritage institutions and their role for the educational, heritage, governmental, and local communities served by museums. The research offers practical suggestions for developing and incorporating critical museology approaches to the creation of community connections with Indigenous heritage institutions in the Dominican Republic. The present research may also assist heritage managers and public officials in improving how heritage education programs are designed to make the collections more relevant to the communities they aim to serve. Under ideal conditions, this effort would call for a unified approach at the managerial and even legislative levels. The information obtained and analyzed in this study can help in adapting various resources from different organizations’ structures, budgets, and personnel capacities to facilitate access between heritage collections and communities, starting at the most basic levels. Future researchers can also use this study to identify patterns in community involvement that may further demonstrate the value of critically framing heritage institutions’ efforts to improve preservation initiatives.

Significance of the Study. Given the dynamism and increasingly competitiveness of the business environment, organizations and institutions need to remain competitive for them to survive in the long- run. This study was crucial in understanding the motivation of strategic alliance between JKUAT and middle level colleges. The study is again important to JKUAT and other higher institutions that may plan to form strategic alliances as it can guide managers on how to manage them to avoid instability and the consequent high cost of crisis and rivalry that may occur. This study is a contribution to research in the area of strategic management in education and training in Kenya and the finding from this study is useful in the education sector as whole. The government and policy makers in education sector can make use of the findings to streamline such engagements to ensure that they are well run for the benefit of all stakeholders including the customers (students). The findings from this study go towards filling an existing information gap, while other institutions can make use of them to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ into strategic usefulness in the high education sector. This study will also be a point of reference for further research in the area of strategic alliance.

Significance of the Study. The study aims to find out how teachers perceive their own autonomy in different types of schools, and whether it has any influence on their job satisfaction and motivation. As the new “Law on the Status of Teachers” is being currently developed in Kazakhstan, one of its main goals will be to provide teachers with adequate autonomy, which has not been mentioned in previous official documents by the ▇▇▇▇ of Kazakhstan. Currently, as this study is being done, the law is in its development stage and the term ‘teacher autonomy’ is only mentioned as a chapter title. In order to understand and improve the process of policy implementation, it is important to listen to what teachers have to say about the issue, as they are the “key actors in realising” these policies (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2015, p.75). This study may offer an insight on how teachers see and understand autonomy and what kind of autonomy should be provided to ensure that they are satisfied with their jobs and motivated to stay in schools. School principals might also benefit from this study, as it may provide them with an action framework if they are willing to keep their teachers motivated to work and develop professionally. Even though there are commonly accepted definitions of what teacher autonomy is, it is important to know that the understanding of the concept and its perception may differ not only from country to country, but from one type of school to another. This study might help school administrators and policy-makers understand what ‘teacher autonomy’ is in terms of Kazakhstani teachers’ perceptions. More importantly, there is hardly any study on teachers’ autonomy in the context of Kazakhstan. Therefore this study may contribute to literature on this important topic.

Significance of the Study. The results of the study would contribute to the higher education system in Kazakhstan, as administrators, managers, and faculty members may be provided with the current emotional intelligence level of undergraduate students from the two institutions. The fact that these two universities are located in two different cities of the country would demonstrate a bigger picture and more reliable results. Therefore, other higher education institutions may use the findings of the current research study in order to facilitate students’ emotional intelligence level inserting related activities in their curricula. Additionally, the results of the research study can be of use for teachers and educators to analyze which non-academic factors may influence students’ academic achievement positively or negatively. Emotional Intelligence – ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and ▇▇▇▇▇ (1990) proposed such definition of emotional intelligence as “… the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions” (p.189). Based on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇, in this research study, the definition of emotional intelligence is the capability of an individual to understand their own emotions and emotions of others, as to use this knowledge in maintaining their cognitive thinking and social actions. Academic Achievement – “…defined as the level of actual accomplishment or proficiency one has achieved in an academic area, as opposed to one's potential in the educational goals measured by examinations” (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, 2013, p. 103). In this research study, students’ self-reported academic achievement percentage has been used. Benefits of the Study The research study aims at identifying emotional skills correlated with individuals’ cognitive abilities; it would encourage universities’ psychologists to work with students in order to increase specific EI skills and develop their academic achievement. This study would also be of importance for educators and lecturers of higher education institutions in order to analyze students’ academic strengths and weaknesses through their particular EI competencies and skills. Alternatively, these research findings would be of interest for employers, so that they may be aware of future specialists’ overall emotional intelligence level and its connection with their analytical skills. This chapter provides an overview of the main constituents...

Significance of the Study. This study aims to examine the relationship between students‟ level of emotional intelligence and teacher-student relationships in one ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Intellectual School in Kazakhstan. It is very important to know if students‟ level of emotional intelligence predicts a high quality of teacher-student relationships, since it can then stimulate policymakers to create special educational programs that could be aimed at developing students‟ level of emotional intelligence. As for the teachers themselves, the knowledge of how important their relationships are for their students can motivate them to make some changes in their teaching process. In addition, the findings of this study can have not immediate but rather long-term benefits for gifted students studying at NIS, since their academic performance might depend on their relationships with teachers. Despite the fact that this study is focused on one school, other schools are likely to benefit from the findings of this research study by developing programs aimed to improve emotional intelligence, which might consequently benefit teacher-student relationships. In Chapter 1: Introduction, I outlined the research problem, the background and the context in which this study takes place, the purpose statement, the research questions, and the significance of the study. Then, Chapter 2: Literature Review will be presented, where I will discuss information from the literature related to my research topic. This will be followed by Chapter 3: Methodology, in which I will explain the research design, research methods and other information connected with methodology. After that, I will reveal the research findings in Chapter 4: Data Analysis and Findings. Next, these findings will be analyzed in Chapter 5: Discussion. At the end, conclusions of the study will be made and recommendations will be provided in Chapter 6.

The study can be used as a baseline for further to create new paradigm of Client Empowerment in ICT utilization strategies over cloud. So, the proposed Client-Side SLA framework for cloud can be used as base line in the ICT managerial and business organization’s decision-making processes. Hence, this new Service Level Agreement (SLA) can provide better business relations between service providers and Customers with improved trust and transparency.

Significance of the Study. This study provides the first examination of relative education between couples and the risk of prior year IPV in Colombia. The analyses also include important contextual measures of individual and interpersonal factors. Several important findings emerge which have implications for future research and intervention programs. In addition, the causes of IPV in displaced communities were explored through women’s voices. Specific attention was given to the dynamics of unfulfilled and transgressed gender roles of men and women as factors that may increase the risk of IPV. This study adds to a body of cross-cultural research examining the relationship between IPV and relative resources within couples in non-Western settings (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2008; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2010; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇; ▇▇, 2010; ▇. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, 2005; ▇. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇; ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇, 2010). ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇., ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇, C., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇., ▇▇▇▇, L., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, M., . . . ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.

Significance of the Study. The context of this study is relatively unique since entrepreneurship education programs are not common cases at Kazakhstani higher educational organizations. Addressing the issue of Kazakhstani entrepreneurship education can significantly contribute to filling the gap in the literature and the development of this field as an independent discipline. Since the research focuses on the course’s specific outcome (competencies), the research findings provide important insights for policymakers, university leaders, faculty, and students. In particular, university leaders can consider the improvement of course components by offering university support, while course instructors have an opportunity to monitor the effectiveness of their curriculum. Moreover, the research results and conclusion can provide useful information for students interested in selecting this course and choosing the career path of an entrepreneur.
