Abstract

Business certifications and accreditations are increasingly crucial for organizations, especially in educational institutions, to demonstrate service quality and gain a competitive edge. Quality management systems (QMS) will support these objectives and enhance product and service quality. This study specifically examines the readiness of local educational institution for ISO 9001 Quality Management System certification. It also evaluated the degree of impact among the respondents in terms of compliance with the QMS standard clauses. Additionally, the study identified the challenges faced by local educational institutions in obtaining ISO certification. The research design employed a descriptive approach and a survey questionnaire. Stratified random sampling was used to select a sample of 215 administration and academic personnel. The findings indicated that the assessment level for ISO 9001 is ready. However, among independent variables, leadership is the most important factor in demonstrating a high level of readiness for ISO certification. It emphasizes the importance of adhering to quality management requirements. Furthermore, the assessment differed when respondents were grouped according to their profiles.  In addition, the respondents identified moderate issues related to resistance to change and a lack of proper organizational structure. Therefore, local educational institution must view certification as an ongoing commitment rather than a one-time project. They should establish routine processes to maintain the ISO standard, improve the institution’s image, and raise employees’ awareness of the QMS in their day-to-day operations.

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to analyze graduate programs in Big Data in Morocco in 2022, focusing on the technical skills, tools and technologies, and functional skills taught in the programs. In the digital age, the Big Data revolution has generated massive amounts of data, transforming the way businesses and organizations around the world make decisions and innovate. In this ever-changing context, Training of Big Data professionals in Morocco in 2022 is crucial. The expansion of Big Data has created a growing need for skilled professionals to manage these immense data sets. Higher education programs play a key role in preparing these future experts. This study adopted a content analysis methodology, examining the curricula of 16 public engineering schools, and 21 accredited public schools and science faculties in Morocco. The technical skills, tools and technologies, and functional skills taught were analyzed and compared with existing literature on Big Data skills. The programs focus on technical skills such as programming, machine learning, statistics, and mathematics, with Python as the main tool. However, certain skills, such as predictive analysis, are under-represented. Functional skills in communication and management are essential; however, skills in agile methods and change management vary in coverage. The results offer an insight into the alignment between higher education programs and the needs of the Big Data market. Educational institutions can adjust their programs to better meet emerging needs, focusing on under-represented skills, and ensuring the continued relevance of training.

Abstract

Identifying and enhancing teacher competencies and qualifications is crucial for advancing the quality of education. This qualitative study aimed to explore teachers' qualifications and self-perceptions through interviews with 78 teachers across various disciplines. The objective was to understand discrepancies between teachers' self-views and critical perceptions of colleagues, thereby identifying essential competencies. Semi-structured interviews, employing a qualitative approach, facilitated a thorough exploration of teacher perspectives. The study group included classroom, English, Turkish, math, science, philosophy, religious culture, computer, biology, history, chemistry, physical education, music, Turkish language, literature, painting, and physics teachers. Open-ended questions elicited opinions on colleague qualifications, essential teacher competencies, and self-perceptions. The findings revealed that experienced teachers demonstrated higher confidence, while beginners expressed a commitment to improvement. Communication skills, empathy, love for students, subject knowledge, self-development, patience, tolerance, and passion for teaching were highlighted as crucial competencies. Teachers emphasized the need for a balance between personal and professional qualities, advocating for pedagogical formation, contemporary teaching approaches, and technology proficiency. The study concludes that continuous professional development is vital, emphasizing the importance of both human-oriented qualities and technical competencies for effective teaching. This research provides a foundation for raising teachers' awareness of competence assessment and development, urging educational institutions to support ongoing teacher growth.

Abstract

The retention policy serves as a key criterion for determining student suitability for a program and encourages serious engagement with their studies. By enforcing a retention policy, universities can increase the number of students who pass board examinations because students are motivated to meet standardized grading requirements. The Licensure Examination for Certified Public Accountants (LECPA) is recognized as one of the most difficult board exams in the Philippines, with passing rates that are relatively low and showing a declining trend. This trend is influenced by various factors, including retention policies, exam difficulty, and other school-related elements. Further research at regional and national levels is needed to clarify these issues. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the retention rate and institutional passing rate in the LECPA at the University of Saint Louis-Tuguegarao (USLT), as well as to suggest potential modifications to the accountancy program’s retention policy. The research focused on graduates from the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy program at USLT for the academic years 2017–2020 and 2022. Data analysis was performed using frequency, percentage, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient methods. The findings indicate that higher retention rates correlate with higher institutional passing rates in the LECPA, suggesting that USLT should consider reviewing its retention policy.

Abstract

Flexible, skill-based routes have been the emphasis of education in the post-pandemic era. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a rise in the popularity of nontraditional education methods that emphasize skills rather than knowledge. This has led to an increase in demand for online classes that are meant to develop relevant job skills among individuals. This research investigates students’ opinions and attitudes toward micro-credentials. However, while student reactions are generally positive and sometimes even modest, they confirm micro-credentials of their uniqueness, flexibility in application, as well as practicality regarding immediate professional needs One striking finding is that while 63.36% were graduates of college, only 51.73% knew where to find micro-credential courses that match their field of study. The data from 2,115 valid respondents showed an average composite mean score of 2.96 for perception and 3.02 for acceptance, suggesting that participants were cautious about the potential of micro-credentials. Nevertheless, there is still a disconnect between the way they are used now vis-à-vis how institutions or professional bodies view them, as well as whether or not these courses are likely to have any enduring value or consideration in the labor market. Therefore, the present results indicate that academic institutions must collaborate with businesses to meet their labor market’s needs with shorter programs, which should also be acceptable in the sphere of education. The aim of this article is to advance the field of micro-credentials research while providing a foundation for future studies on their significance in education and career development.

Abstract

Competitive educational institutions emphasize how service quality influences customer satisfaction. This study investigated the level of service quality functioning of a private higher education institution (HEI) in the Philippines, as assessed by its personnel and students. Employing a mixed research method, data were gathered from 22 full-time personnel and 140 students of the subject HEI by using a survey questionnaire distributed online via Google Forms. Statistical tests, such as weighted mean, standard deviation, and independent t-tests, were employed in the data analysis. The study found that service quality engagement of the institution is at an acceptable level of functioning. However, there is still room for improvements in all service quality dimensions. Moreover, the study disclosed that there were no statistically significant differences between the assessments of personnel and students in terms of service quality. In-person interviews revealed that most issues and challenges in service quality relate to the tangibility, responsiveness, and assurance aspects, where the need for efficient resource allocation, improved communication, and infrastructure enhancements are essential. These findings have given light to propose a comprehensive action plan that will support the institution in improving the current functioning of its service quality. Furthermore, this study can serve as a model for other private HEIs to develop service quality enhancement strategies to better serve their stakeholders.

Abstract

Adopting and successfully implementing information systems in higher education is essential for improving administrative processes and communication and supporting academic activities. However, the hierarchical nature of such organizations poses unique challenges that must be addressed for the effective adoption of information systems. This study proposes a framework to assess the performance of hierarchical organizations in effectively implementing information systems in universities. The proposed framework evaluates various dimensions that influence the successful adoption of information systems in hierarchical organizations. This dimension includes leadership support, communication channels, organizational culture, and resource allocation. The conceptual framework provides a holistic assessment of an institution’s ability to effectively adopt and utilize information systems. A structural equation model and Smart Partial Least Squares (Smart PLS) were used for data analysis. Using a sample of 121 respondents, data were collected using a questionnaire instrument using the Google Form link at Banten Province higher education leadership levels. This framework provides a structured approach to assessing the performance of hierarchical organizations in terms of the adoption of information system success in higher education institutions. By leveraging this framework, institutions can enhance their information system adoption processes and ultimately improve their effectiveness in using information systems for academic and administrative purposes. The results indicate that hierarchical organizations can optimize performance when implementing higher education information systems, focusing not only on the technical aspects of the system but also on organizational culture, communication, and leadership involvement.
