  • Leadership Approaches to Enhancing Self-Study Management in Cambodian Universities
    Pisith Chin, Rany Sam, Mardy Serey, Sophat Phon
    Digital Leadership and Innovation in Asean Education, 2026
    This chapter investigates the influence of leadership on enhancing self-study management in Cambodian higher education amidst continuous legislative reforms and international demands for student-centered, outcome-based learning in accordance with Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The chapter examines the impact of transformational, distributed/shared, and servant leadership styles on faculty and students' self-study practices through policy analysis, conceptual frameworks, and contextual data. This chapter indicates that transformational leadership offers vision and drive, whereas distributed and shared leadership promotes ownership, collaboration, and institutional capacity, and servant leadership improves faculty development and research culture. Effective self-study management relies on cohesive governance structures, appropriate resource allocation, quality assurance procedures, and technology-enabled systems. Cultural norms, restricted autonomy, resource limitations, and governance issues persist in obstructing implementation. Finally, the chapter emphasizes leadership as a vital mechanism for fostering sustainable self-study cultures and enhancing institutional quality in Cambodian universities.

  • Governance, Global Rankings, and Strategic Convergence in Higher Education Institutions
    Rany Sam, Sinath No, Ivleva Marina Levenbertovna, Morin Tieng, Sovann Khun
    Competition in Higher Education and the Role of Internationalization in University Rankings, 2026
    Governments and accreditation bodies, as well as world university rankings, have a critical impact on the strategic agenda of institutions of higher learning. This chapter presents a critical analysis of the impact of external governance arrangements, encompassing national states, accreditation bodies, and world rankings, on the strategic agenda of institutions of higher learning in such matters as curricula and research, globalization and internationalization, and organizational governance. On the basis of desk research and an integrative synthesis of the literature, this chapter explores the ambivalent impact of such external influences.
  • Challenges in Academic Research for Society: Empirical Study of Cambodian University
    Rany Sam, Da Bou, Hak Yoeng, Borath Lang, Voleak Chap, Sopheak Sam
    Academic Research Challenges for Modern Society, 2026
    Academic research is a cornerstone for societal development and innovation in an increasingly globalized and knowledge-driven world. This chapter examines the challenges faced by Cambodian universities in fostering robust academic research output, drawing on empirical data to identify systemic barriers and potential solutions. Through an analysis of previous studies and institutional policies, this research reveals critical obstacles such as limited funding, inadequate infrastructure, a lack of skilled researchers, and insufficient collaboration between academia and industry. The findings highlight a gap in research capacity building and access to global networks, compounded by socioeconomic constraints and cultural attitudes toward research. It is clear that the importance of collaboration cannot be overstated in overcoming these challenges.
  • Validation of Research Instruments for Transformational Leadership, Teachers’ Self-Efficacy, and Job Performance in Cambodian High Schools
    Sereyrath Em, Sarom Mok, Rany Sam, Sothea Hill, Chamrong Pich, Sinath No, Mardy Serey
    Digital Leadership and Innovation in Asean Education, 2026
    This chapter validated Cambodian high school transformational leadership, teacher self-efficacy, and job performance instruments. Transformational leaders exerted idealistic influence (through attitudes and behaviors), inspirational motivation, individual consideration, and intellectual stimulation. Teacher self-efficacy encompassed instructional strategies, classroom management, and student involvement, whereas job performance encompassed both contextual and task performance. Overall, 639 high school teachers participated in the study. The instruments were translated, altered, and culturally validated using a translate-and-back-translate, expert review, and a pilot test. CFA, SEM, reliability testing, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze data. CFA confirmed factorial structure and model fit (TLI = 0.90, CFI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.059, SRMR = 0.051). The findings showed good reliability and validity. Transformational leadership predicted teachers' self-efficacy and job performance, mediated by student engagement efficacy.
  • Integrating Local History of Genocide Into Global Citizenship Education: Cambodian Perspectives
    Rany Sam, Soknang Por, Early Nhem, Marylin Cheath, Atana Chean, Vuthy Chanra, Vorleak Sob, Sinath No, Sarith Chiv, Morin Tieng
    Local History Education for Shaping Global Citizenship, 2026
    This chapter examines the role of local history education in fostering global citizenship among Cambodian students. Through a sociocultural and pedagogical lens, it explores how Cambodia's historical identity—particularly themes of community resilience, cultural heritage, and post-conflict reconstruction—can be leveraged to cultivate critically engaged, globally aware citizens. The primary objective is to analyze how the integration of local historical knowledge into classroom instruction enhances students' understanding of global interdependence, human rights, and democratic values, while also reinforcing national identity and civic responsibility. Methodologically, the chapter adopts a desk research approach, drawing on document analysis and social media discourse. The findings shed light on how local history is presented in the national curriculum, how educators interpret and deliver this content, and how students relate it to global challenges such as peacebuilding, sustainability, and intercultural understanding.
  • Enhancing research on academic research capacity in Cambodian higher education institutions
    Sarith Chiv, Kimcheang Hong, Chanthang Meak, Rany Sam, Morin Tieng, Hak Yoeng, Mardy Serey
    Discover Education, 2025
    Cambodia’s higher education institutions (HEIs) face several challenges. Academics require increased access to resources and funding, as well as restrictions on academic freedom and significant language and cultural barriers. The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the individual factors influencing academicians’ research productivity in Cambodian higher education institutions, to examine and evaluate the impact of institutional factors on research productivity, and to investigate and assess the external factors affecting research productivity and develop strategies to mitigate negative impacts while increasing positive influences. This study employs a rigorous qualitative method, with insights gained through interviews and policy analysis. This comprehensive approach provides a thorough understanding of Cambodia’s current academic research landscape, highlighting areas that require policy-driven solutions. The findings emphasize the critical need for policies that are tailored to the Cambodian academic context. There is a clear need to foster stronger domestic and international research collaborations as well as mechanisms that encourage long-term research development. This study proposes a set of focused policy recommendations designed to overcome these challenges and enhance the research productivity of Cambodian HEIs. These policies, if implemented, have the potential to significantly improve the research landscape in Cambodian HEIs, fostering a sense of hope and optimism among the academic community.
  • Leadership- Driven Faculty Collaboration and Research Capacity Building in ASEAN: Insights From Cambodia
    Rany Sam, Navin Voeun, Pheaktra Vando, Kanhchakna Vet, Sinath No, Ry Hour, Sereyrath Em, Sokthy Sou, Sonita Phuong, Vuthea Da
    Implementing Research Management Policies in Asean Higher Education Institutions, 2025
    This chapter responds to Cambodia's primary leadership role in fostering teaching collaboration and professional growth within a system that has barely started acknowledging the significance of collaboration and continuous research capacity development. Faced with the stresses of challenges as disparate as limited resources to teacher experience variation, leaders have managed through interventions intended to foster cooperation through participatory decision-making, communication, and tailored professional learning opportunities. Case interviews and studies indicate that Cambodian university administrators place importance on establishing trust, involving faculty members, researchers, and networking in the sharing of best practices. This collaboration has improved the motivation of faculty members, teaching quality, and student achievement. Limitations of professional development and research capacity building, such as financial, geographic, and cultural differences, are also addressed in this chapter.
  • Institutional Policies to Support Doctoral Education Reform and Research Outcomes: A Case Study of Selected ASEAN Universities
    Morin Tieng, Rany Sam, Riem Meng, Lem Pring, Sreykeo Peng, Chiva Chin, Sokheng Hon, Chantithya Men, Ey Doeurn, Mina Pich, Vicheka Chhoeurm
    Implementing Research Management Policies in Asean Higher Education Institutions, 2025
    Doctoral education is the anchor of innovation, knowledge generation, and academic quality. However, making it sustainable is a major concern for most universities. This chapter explores the policy and institutional infrastructure behind sustainable doctoral education reform in selected universities in Cambodia, Malaysia, and Thailand across the ASEAN region. By examining policies, funding channels, supervisory behaviors, and institutional initiatives, this research reveals best practices and entrenches reform barriers. The major findings indicate that intensive challenges persist, but regional universities are taking innovative steps to develop research capacity and globalization. They include limited funds, sparse mentorship initiatives, and incompatibility between doctoral education and labor market requirements. The chapter emphasizes the imperatives of policy coherence, resource optimization, and cross-disciplinary cooperation as major reform strategies to ensure the sustainability of doctoral education systems. The findings of this case study have practical implications for policymakers and academic leaders. They involve the initiation of specific reform measures that embrace global trends but respond to the specific regional and global imperatives of ASEAN universities.
