Abstract

This research focuses on how various parties view and comprehend Northwestern University's Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives (VMGO) and whether they are aligned with them. Specifically, the study examines the stakeholders' awareness, acceptance, understanding, congruence, clarity, and perception. Stakeholders consisted of the students, faculty and staff, alumni, and industry partners. The research used structural equation modeling to find the links between awareness, acceptance, and understanding, congruency and clarity and perception. The study's findings were that the three variables relate to each other; however, the personal profile of the respondents only affected the awareness, acceptance, and understanding variables. This indicates that, for example, the age of the stakeholder, the older the stakeholder, the more he is aware of and comprehends the VMGO of the University. Moreover, this study recommends that the Institution continues to think of ways how to let its stakeholders comprehend the VMGO of the University.

The importance of this research study is it assessed the effectiveness of online and face-to-face classes using the Community of Inquiry framework.  Results showed that in all aspects of the Community of Inquiry Framework, the assessments of both modalities are highly effective. However, comparing the two modalities, FtF classes outweighed the online classes in all aspects. The 7 focus group discussions also yielded the same results, where students also identified 4 themes of advantages of the FtF modality which are; (1) Personal Interaction; (2) Real-Time Feedback; (3) Personalized Instruction; and (4) Reduced Distractions.
