This research is aimed to design and validate a competency model for the Kabul public universities' presidents using the content analysis of the exploratory mixed method. In the qualitative section of this research, 10 people of who were experts in the field of competence selected through targeted sampling and semi-structured interviews were done. Then, in two stages of analyzing qualitative data using open and axial coding, competencies were classified into three main categories of individual characteristics, theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Then, based on the findings of the qualitative stage analysis, a research questionnaire was designed and implemented in the statistical sample of 304 faculty members of Kabul public universities who were selected by stratified random sampling method using Morgan table. Therefore, the quantitative data were collected. In the quantitative phase, the path analysis was used to validate the competencies of university presidents. The results indicate that the model has a suitable fitting and acceptable validity. Also, standardized coefficients are meaningful on each of the main themes. Besides, the two main themes, including individual characteristics and theoretical knowledge, have the power to predict the ability of practical skills at a meaningful level. Therefore, the proposed model in the qualitative section was confirmed after the elimination of two factors which were the problem-solving skills in the practical skills theme and charm in the individual characteristics theme.

There are demands on TEFL students and researchers from national authorities to publish widely. Because of the growing pressure put on students and their professors in the area of humanities especially TEFL to publish in national and international journals, it is often tempting for them to take the shortest possible root to get their articles published. Thus, the objective of this paper is to explore why publishing in predatory journals has been growing among students in higher education. In this article the researchers drew on critical English for academic purposes approach (CEAP) and Bourdieu’ s (1991) concept of symbolic violence to demonstrate how violence and domination are reproduced in higher education which causes students to publish in predatory journals. In order to look into students’ views regarding predatory publishing a structured questionnaire was developed by the researchers and distributed among 52 PhD and MA students. The results of this study state that academic institutions and professors can exert symbolic violence that silence students’ voices. This study pervades critical pedagogy and right analysis into the learning system in order to democratize higher education institutions and to enact genuine and meaningful student engagement in the process of article publication.
