Abstract

Higher education in the Republic of Serbia needs to be reformed. This paper presents a performance analysis of the changes that the authors assume are mandatory, presenting the research problem this article addresses. Cabinet research, performed by analyzing the theoretical building blocks of available knowledge and experience, is underway. Articles and studies from various publications, such as academic journals and institutes, were used as sources. In addition, academic articles and papers and studies about artificial intelligence, machine learning, and extended reality were also consulted. The authors consider that these technologies could be of great assistance in developing a new higher education strategy. Further, this research is exploratory given that information from the 100 Serbian students from selected higher education institutions was used to better understand if these technologies are welcomed by students. Based on SmartPls software, the research analysis proved that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are appropriate technologies implemented in higher education institutions (HEI) to develop skills among students, a collaborative learning environment, and an accessible research environment. Additionally, extended reality (XR) facilitates increased motivation, engagement, and learning-by-doing activities between students, offering a realistic environment for learning.

Highlights

  • According to the Law on Higher Education, higher education in Serbia is provided by universities, faculties, academies of vocational studies, and vocational colleges that the national body has accredited

  • The results are presented in two stages: the first stage contains a Cronbach’s alpha analysis, which evaluates the survey’s validity, and a validation process based on composite reliability, AVE and R squared was implemented

  • The Cronbach’s coefficient (0.93 for OAIML, 0.959 for OXR) proves that our analysis is consistent because the sub-indicators of the variables mentioned above (Figure 2) correlate between themselves and the additive result of all subindicators

Summary

Introduction

According to the Law on Higher Education, higher education in Serbia is provided by universities, faculties, academies of vocational studies, and vocational colleges that the national body has accredited. The national body determines, among other things, whether a higher education institution or study program meets the National Council’s standards through accreditation. It should be determined whether the program’s conditions for implementation are met. This paper examines if higher education in the Republic of Serbia is developmental and progressive and if students are provided with adequate knowledge through educational programs [1]
