This study addresses the critical challenge of integrating Personalized Strength Training (PRT) into large-scale University Physical Education (UPE) teaching to counteract students' increasing physical heterogeneity and prevalent functional deficiencies. The traditional, standardized UPE model fails to adequately serve diverse individual needs and often neglects crucial functional movement assessment and injury prevention. This research constructs a systematic three-path framework to guide the reform. Path I proposes a data-driven system centered on scientific assessment (e.g., FMS) and dynamic personalized prescription using intelligent platforms to ensure training safety and efficacy. Path II advocates for a blended learning model and teacher role redefinition, transforming instructors into "exercise prescribers" supported by specialized training and online resources. Path III \ focuses on inter-departmental collaboration (PE-IT-Medical) and an integrated, process-oriented assessment system that prioritizes the improvement of students' functional movement and health literacy over mere compliance. Implementing this comprehensive path is essential for UPE to transition towards a scientific, student-centered, and health-literacy-focused paradigm, effectively meeting the lifelong health demands of modern society.

Owing to Ferdinand de Saussure‟s Course in General Linguistics (1915) and the inauguration of French structuralism in the 1950s by Claude Levi Strauss and many others of the class including members of Russian formalist, especially Roman Jakobson, established the literary movement which entails the practice of critics analysing literature on the explicit mode of structuralist linguistics. The importance stance on the structure in the very name of the movement “Structuralism”. As to the structure, it the structure of the poetic language; the form of expressions applied in literature. In the expositions provided by Saussure‟s Course in general Linguistics, it renders the concept that the elementary cultural phenomena like the elements of language , being purely rational entities , derives its identity from the relationship of differences and binary opposition to other elements within the cultural system. In addition, its exposition includes the notion that each individual person in a given community associated with similar culture, unconsciously has mastered the entire mechanism of internal relationship and “of codes” that produce significant combination.

The fourth industrial revolution and the development of artificial intelligence are changing the way we work and learn Globally, institutions of higher learning have positioned themselves in line with quality standards and trendsetters. Higher education institutions may face a variety of difficulties, such as significant changes in funding sources brought about by extensive structural changes in the economy that necessitate greater accountability at all levels and the pressing need to adopt modern technology in order to increase effectiveness and efficiency. India is not an exception to the global issues that the Covid epidemic has brought forth for higher education. Many students who hoped to continue their education in prestigious colleges in India and other nations have had their hopes dashed by the pandemic, in a nation where many still lack access to higher education. Although it is no longer novel, online learning is increasingly required in India. The manner that education is transmitted has undergone a significant transformation in the past several months. While some colleges quickly adopted the shift, others found it difficult because they lacked the necessary technical know-how and fundamental infrastructure to switch to online instruction. This study aims to provide an overview of the unique features of the digital transformation implementation process that have occurred in the higher education industry. The primary conclusions demonstrate that it is, in fact, a developing field in India's educational system. In order to gather secondary data for different sources of data analysis and concepts, this study collected data.

Forty-five young adults attending a large public university provided information on the most challenging or stressful situations they have experienced, and the strategies employed to overcome those situations. Using an inductive, qualitative, non-theory-based (even a-theoretical) approach with a very small sample, we replicated the findings of much larger hypothesis- and theory-driven quantitative studies. Strategies for overcoming stressful or challenging situations included: support from others, religious or faith-based strategies, personal-action strategies, and cognitive strategies. While results of the study were consistent with previous work on stressful, challenging situations and methods used in overcoming those situations, the study makes an excellent case for not discounting or minimizing the utility and power of inductive, qualitative research. Results, methodology, and implications are discussed.

| Country | :: | Malaysia |
| Page Number | :: | 42-49 |
This dissertation examines the key factors influencing the successful development of private universities in Jilin Province, China. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates survey data from 150 teachers and qualitative interviews to investigate how teaching conditions, management practices, and humanistic care affect teacher team development and institutional growth. The research highlights persistent challenges in private universities, including unstable faculty teams, insufficient professional development, weak management systems, and limited humanistic support. Regression and correlation analyses show that teaching conditions—such as workload, resources, and professional development—along with management factors—such as leadership effectiveness, governance, and evaluation systems—strongly predict university development outcomes. Humanistic care, including salary, work-life balance, and emotional support, also contributes significantly to teacher satisfaction and retention, though with a slightly weaker effect. The study further identifies differences between for-profit and not-for-profit private universities in resource allocation and human resource strategies. The findings provide theoretical insights grounded in School-Based Management, Rational Choice Theory, and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, as well as practical recommendations for enhancing governance, improving faculty management, and strengthening support systems. Overall, the research emphasizes that high-quality faculty development is essential for achieving sustainable growth and competitiveness in private higher education.

| Paper Title | :: | Formed in Relationship: Organizational Socialization of Young Personnel in a Marist School in the Philippines |

| Page Number | :: | 50-71 |
This study examines how organizational socialization unfolds among young personnel in a Marist school, focusing on the relational encounters through which institutional culture, values, and identity are learned and embodied. Using a qualitative design guided by Appreciative Inquiry, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven young personnel at Notre Dame of Marbel University, a Catholic Marist institution in the Philippines, and the data were analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that organizational socialization in a Marist school is primarily relational, formative, and identity-shaping, occurring through everyday interactions with colleagues, mentors, leaders, and students rather than through formal programs alone. Informal encounters, relational leadership, affirmation, and a supportive community enable young personnel to internalize Marist values such as family spirit, humility, simplicity, love of work, and service, transforming these from articulated ideals into lived practices. Over time, these encounters foster a progression from learning about values to living them, from initial belonging to sustained commitment, and from being formed by the community to becoming future bearers of the mission. The study underscores organizational socialization as a process of becoming, where culture functions as a living formation environment that sustains identity, commitment, and leadership understood as vocation.

| Paper Title | :: | Co-Constructing the Life Stories of Young Children’s Learning: A Developmentally Appropriate Approach to Early Childhood Assessment |

In early childhood education settings, learning assessment should not be understood merely as a technical instrument for verifying learning outcomes. Rather, it should be conceptualized as a life narrative process in which teachers and young children jointly participate and continuously co-construct educational meaning. Through systematic observation, dialogic interaction, documentation, and reflective practice embedded in everyday teaching contexts, teachers are able to understand how children make sense of their worlds and how they express their abilities, interests, and potential through interaction and exploration with peers, environments, and learning materials. These process-oriented learning moments are not isolated events but are interwoven to form each child’s unique ―learning story.‖ From this perspective, the core meaning of viewing teaching practice as a co-written life story lies in repositioning assessment as a relational and ethically grounded professional practice. Its purpose is to accompany children’s developmental trajectories, to understand the contexts of their learning, and to respond to their continuously emerging learning needs, rather than to evaluate learning performance through unilateral, static, or standardized measures. This study aims to investigate the practices of early childhood learning assessment, with a particular focus on co-constructing children’s learning narratives—beginning with developmentally appropriate assessment.
