I.Lūsēna – Ezera), and Latvia Agriculture University (Dr.oec.prof. A.Vilciņa, Mg.oec. I. Pučure).

Cooperation can be characterized in several directions: integration of study program, overview and

evaluation (on expert level when participating in commission of state examinations, when reviewing

master papers, etc.), realization of study courses (as docents, supervisors of practice or master paper).

Several Academy lecturers continue their studies in doctorate (D.Līduma – Riga Technical University,

A.Medveckis – Liepaja Academy of Pedagogy, I. Leitāne – Latvia University, U.Drišļuks - Latvia

University).

Study process quality perfection is promoted by business game “Marketplace” that gives

opportunities to use Latvian and world wide proven methodology to compare ourselves with

achievements of students of similar study programs, ascertain own competency and ability of

realization of topical research and practical tasks in virtual environment.

Master students regularly take part in seminars, conferences and exchange programs and learn

from working managers, offer their own solutions for development of Kurzeme region. These activities

take part two times a year and are successful examples for use of study results.

Mutual cooperation among teaching staff, students, municipality leaders and politicians

promotes perfection of study quality and creates extensive interest about offered study program in

management sciences in the Academy. Dynamics of studying students testifies it. In the first admission

36 students begun their full-time studies, in the year 2007 - 53 students begun their part-time studies.

They were from different institutions, organizations, enterprises from Liepaja city and region, Kurzeme

region, Riga and other parts of Latvia.

Responsiveness, high interest in study process and qualitative results are indicative of right

program conception and it can be realized by successful cooperation of students and teaching staff, and

different managers of institutions and organizations.

Academic and research potential of master students is testified with chosen master paper topics

(Attachment No.4) that are related to modern, actual and significant issues.

Perfection of motivation of students is promoted by SOCRATES/ERASMUS mobility program

and other exchange programs and projects, guest lecturers from Germany (Rostock University),

Sweden, Canada and USA.

6. Perspective evaluation of the program 6.1. Program evaluation from the aspect of the Latvia state interests

Study program “Management Sciences” was developed according to Latvia higher education development politics, Liepaja city and Kurzeme region needs for highly qualified specialists – small and medium enterprises’, public sector and education institutions’ managers, as well as reaction to the Academy management, graduates of professional study programs and senior students to provide further education possibilities in management sciences in three-cycles.

Latvia is implementing Bologna declaration position in higher education and is creating joint study program framework. Latvia higher education is transferring to study models 3+2 or 4+1 years in order to acquire master degree in 5 years.

The Academy has partly transferred from 5-year professional study programs to 4-year professional programs and from 4-year bachelor programs to 3-year bachelor programs. Further development of master programs in management sciences is related to development of the new - doctoral degree studies. That would form full-cycle (three-cycle) studies in joint program framework: basic studies (bachelor), master and doctoral studies.

Until now realization of similar programs has been successful: there is a great interest from students, study quality improves from year to year, there are new teachers, docents attracted with new study courses. That testifies that the program is becoming competitive in education market.

Study program “Management Sciences” is developed in correspondence with the profession standard of enterprise and organization managers and standard of state professional higher education.

Content of management studies is harmonized with prerequisites determined for education and further education of managers according to the rules No.612 (18.08.2005.) of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia “Arrangements for accreditation of general education programs and education institutions, as well as arrangements for attestation of state or municipality founded general education institutions and managers of general education institutions”.

6.2. Comparison with analogous programs in Latvia and foreign higher education

institutions

In development of professional master program the experience of Latvia University

(management sciences study program with different study courses, education science master study

program), Ventspils University College (professional master study program in Business Administration

– MBA), School of Business Administration TURĪBA (professional master study program in business

administration and tourism strategic management), Vidzeme University College (tourism strategic

management) has been adopted.

Comparison with similar programs in the Latvia University (LU) and Riga Technical

University (RTU).

Professional master program of the Liepaja Academy of Pedagogy is similar with its volume, length,

courses and general structure with other programs in Latvia and foreign HEIs. Master study program

includes such courses as Macroeconomics: Analysis and Politics, Finance Management and

Controlling, Strategic Management and Marketing, Strategic Management of Human Resources,

Public Rights. Specifics and differences of the LAP program are optional parts - three modules at the

B part. B1 – Entrepreneurship Management, B2 – Public Management, B3 – Education Management.

Wherewith integration degree of theoretical A part courses is higher (for example, Finance Planning

and Budgeting in Krems University College and Finance Trade in LAP program), but specialization

according to chosen profile is reflected in B part modules. Professional master program of the LAP can

be characterized as interdisciplinary program.

6.5. Perspectives of specialists with master qualification in labour market

After completion of master study program specialist with professional degree will be able to meet

the needs of labour market as they are now according to the prognoses analysis of city entrepreneurship

spectrum, public sector, employment and sustainable regional development. Proficiency of information

technologies and other management instruments will enable to compete successfully in the labour

market, to bear responsibility, to perform manager profession duties in different institutions and

companies.

Acquired education and professional master degree will make possible to continue studies at

doctorate level not only in Latvian but also foreign universities, and education, science and research

centres.

There is written and oral information about track records that speaks volumes for the use of

acquired competences in professional work and dealing with problems. There will be developed

information from employers starting from the year 2008 when first master students will have

completed the program.

According to the labour market research of the Ministry of Economics, Statistics Department, and

Latvia University (with teaching staff as partners) there is a great necessity for graduates with master

degree in Kurzeme region and Latvia.

7. Characterization of studious

7.1. Number of students in the master program – 86

7.2. 1st year full-time students - 33

2nd year part-time students – 53

Number of graduates – there will be first graduates in December 2007.

7. 3. Students’ questionnaires and analysis

Questionnaires are part of program quality management system; they are organized regularly

every academic year. There are two questionnaires developed (Attachment No.5.1. and 5.2.). One is

standard questionnaire that is used for clarification of the general point of view of all students from all

study programs. Another is specially developed in order to clarify work quality of teaching staff in the

frames of study program, social and professional importance of the program, strengths and weaknesses,

possible obstacles, and program development perspectives.

Several conclusions from questionnaire results.

All master program full-time students consider being satisfied with offered study program,

study work organization and time planning. The highest evaluation in scale of four points have gained

docents’ competence in the study courses they teach, teaching style, evaluation objectiveness, choice of

study materials and their availability during study process. Students have suggested changing or

modifying single courses. While preparing the program for accreditation, the course “Nation

Development” has been removed from the compulsory part, several docents have been changed thus it

will allow to perfect course contents, docents’ pedagogical competence, and communication with

students.

The positive aspect is that students use following information resources for individual work:

The Internet (100% cases) – including Academy Intranet and library with latest research results,

books, conference materials and publications.

During the first year of studies students are introduced with studies abroad (57,9%) but only

one tenth part is thinking about catching this opportunity.

As weaknesses and problematic issues students mention lack of competence of some docents,

gaps in study process planning, mainly changes in lesson plan or timing.

Strengths of the program – docents’ scientific competence and interest in the subject, its results

(84,2%), program originality without analogue in Latvia.

For perfection of the program students offer improvement of material basis, change of several

courses, extension of the list of optional courses, opportunity for all students to work in “blackboard”

environment in the Academy Internet system, and extension of library.

Perfection of the study program is connected with improvement of lesson organization, course

sequence, and possible individualization in acquisition of courses, as there are students with different

education background, therefore students with teacher qualification are having problems with

Economics courses because they lack previous knowledge and competences in these subjects.

Several students are having problems with optional C part courses as they are too many there

and sometimes there is too much individual work and students lack time for qualitative task

performance. It is connected with the fact that almost all students are working (also full-time students)

and thus it is problematic to join studies with work. As a proof for is fact that few students had quit

studies during the first year, as they could not join studies and work.

For perfection of the program it is useful to listen to and follow students’ points of view and

suggestions; their professional competence in different fields is considerable and can be used for

improvement of course quality and extension of practice places by entering them into innovative

solutions of topical management and economic issues.

7.4. Alumni questionnaires and analysis will be carried out only after graduation of first

students not earlier as 2008.

7.5. Students’ participation in perfection of study process is realized with their participation

in Student Council and regular discussions for both full and part-time students. Very positive is fact

that many students are employees of the Academy or City Council, or education institutions. Regular

and everyday contacts with professional life are the best solution for open communication for

improvement of study process and several institutions work. It mainly corresponds to the Academy

workers who work in rectorate, departments, faculties or other structural divisions. Cooperation can be

improved if students join council of Management Sciences study program, regularly participate in

department sessions and “Labour exchange” managed by one of students.

8. Academic personnel engaged in the program

There are 25 persons working in the program (number of teaching staff in the attachment No.6). Fifteen (15) of them are employed permanently, 12 docents are doctors of science, among them professors or associated professors D.Celma, A. Samuseviča, D. Lieģeniece, A.Līdaka, O. Zīds. For reading of several courses there are guest docents – professor V.Bikse from Latvia University and professor A.Vilciņa from Latvia Agriculture University. Following teachers are studying in the doctorate - A. Medveckis, I. Pučure, I. Lūsēna – Ezera. Teachers I.Leitāne and U.Drišļuks will start up doctorate studies in 2007./2008.

There are high-level professionals with master degrees involved in implementation of the

program: L. Galdika - Administrator of the Liepaja Branch Holding Company „PAREX BANKA”, I.

Jaunģelže – Chairman of the Liepaja Court, A.Mežinska – Business manager of the Business

consultation and training centre, I. Skābārde- Chief state inspector of the Culture Ministry, M. Sīlis –

Project administrator at the Liepaja City Council, S. Zēmane – Head of Economy Division,

Department of Strategy and Development of the State Land Service of the Republic of Latvia.

Perfection of scientific qualification of teaching staff is the main provision for qualitative

development of the program. Because of the increase of work in master programs and basic level

studies there is a need for qualifies specialists in management and communication sciences, therefore

several teachers who are fully engaged in the work in Academy are going to start doctoral studies in

next years.

For qualitative improvement of the program leading docents from Latvia University and other

universities will be engaged in the master program. It is planned to invite guest lecturers from Sweden

and Germany starting from the year 2007. /2008.

Scientific research and creationProgram docents are managers or executors in the Latvia Research Council grant studies,

projects financed by the Ministry of Education and Science, and cooperation projects with partners

from Germany and Sweden. Detailed researches are in the attachment No.7.

Research issues are mainly connected with modern topics in economics, management sciences,

philosophy, psychology, environment sciences, and information technologies. Research studies are

integral part of the study process. Also master students are involved in research. During the first year

of studies some of them have participated in scientific conferences and seminars in Liepaja, Latvia and

European countries.

9. Financial sources and infrastructure

Master study program is financed from the state budget. There are ten study places in full-time

program. Part-time studies are financed with tuition fees that draw up 80% of the total program budget.

The tuition fee in the Academy 870, LVL will gradually be approximated to the real expenses

that is 1674,76 LVL (detailed calculations of tuition fee in the attachment No.6).

Technical and informative provision Study environment (lecture rooms, number of computers, library) and technical provision

correspond to the full-bodied studies. For reaching study goals there are available four computer rooms

equipped with different configuration computers for specific needs (for example, Microsoft Project,

comprehensive statistical software SPSS 10.0). For individual work there are 12 computers in the free-

access classroom and 10 computers in the library with integrated information system (IIS) “ALISE”,

electronic catalogue, data basis in CD format (for instance, "Unesco Key data on Education",

"Enciklopedia Britannica", "Neue Medien", "Informācijas tehnoloģijas un to izmantošana",

"Iespējamie līgumu paraugi", "E-birojs") and on-line (LURSOFT subscription, “LETA news and

archive”, “Nozare.lv”, „Latvijas E-Vēstnesis”, NAIS, „Letonika”, tourism business portal „EIROPA”,

resource of Latvia Academic Library Association, EBSCO, Blackwell Synergy Home, Pyбрикон,

etc.). During classes graphic and video/ data projectors are used for presentation of individual works.

Students are able to use services of library and reading-room, as well as work with funds of the library,

and literature, periodicals and electronic resources from Department of Social Sciences, Management

and Environment Sciences in Latvian and at least three foreign languages. Students can use copying

machines and bounding machine. Liepaja Academy of pedagogy Publishing office “LiePA” plays a big

role in provision of study materials for the programs. In realization and administration of the program

virtual learning environment Blackboard is used.

10. Foreign Affairs

Master program is realized in collaboration with employers. There have been two meetings

with them – one seminar in 20 October 2006 and conference on 30 March 2007 with participation of

managers of Kurzeme region and Latvia leading enterprises, local government specialists, and

politicians. Similar meetings and contacts will be continued in order to get regular information about

dynamics in labour market, as well for popularization of the program and attraction of new students.

Cooperation is fostered by research of labour market started up by master student Atis Egliņš-

Eglītis. Qualitative perfection of the program fosters cooperation with Latvia University, Riga

Technical University, Riga Strazdins University and other HEI.

Very important aspect is continuous studies of teaching staff in doctorate. This possibility is

used at the moment in doctoral programs in Economics and Management Sciences in Latvia

University. After licensing and opening of the doctorate program in Management Sciences in the

Liepaja Academy of Pedagogy students and practicians from other HEI will be able to study in the

program.

Development of the study program is defined in the Academy Development conception,

Strategic Development Plan for the years 2007 – 2013, Liepaja City Development Strategy 2007 –

2013, and it is one of the components in LAP quality management system.
