Positional advantages and occupational specificity. Returns for higher education in West Germany

ABSTRACT This study analyses how changing positional advantages affected occupational returns for higher education in West Germany from 1974 to 2018. Positional advantages measure the advantages of educational levels relative to others during educational expansion. The impact of positional advantages on occupational returns plausibly differs regarding both the type of higher education degree and its level of occupational specificity. Using the German Microcensus and with the help of median regression models, the study tests if the socioeconomic status of Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates whose degrees have different levels of occupational specificity are systematically affected by the percentage of individuals with at least the same qualification at a given point in time. The empirical results reveal that higher education graduates benefit from educational expansion: positional advantages therefore affect occupational returns for different higher education degrees in divergent ways. Graduates with occupation-specific Master’s degrees appear to benefit most from educational expansion. Graduates with Bachelor’s degrees and less occupationally specific degrees benefit less from educational expansion. The empirical results suggest increasing positional competition within higher education.

Exploiting LSTM Neural Network Algorithm Potentiality for Early Identification of Delayed Graduation in Higher Education

Adoption of deep learning classification algorithms in the domain area of higher education provides exploratory predictive data analytics able to exploit students’ academic behavior. Concretely, student retention and success are critical concerns in higher education globally. Timely identification of potential delays in graduation is essential for universities to provide effective interventions and support, ensuring students’ progress efficiently and maintaining high graduation rates, thereby enhancing institutional reputation. This study examines data from a typical computer science department of a central Greek university, covering student performance for almost two decades (1999-2018). Through extended data preprocessing, we developed a robust dataset focusing on key courses indicative of students' likelihood to graduate on time or experience delays. We employed a deep learning Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network algorithm, leveraging this dataset to classify and predict students' final academic outcomes. Our findings reveal that early-semester performance data can successfully forecast graduation timelines, enabling proactive educational strategies to support student success during their studies at the university.

Factors of employment of graduates of higher educational institutions in Guinea

Employment of higher education graduates is a challenge for governments in both developed and developing countries. This article highlights factors that explain the professional integration of graduates leaving universities. This study demonstrates the variables influencing the employment of young tertiary graduates. The model used allows us to establish economic relationships between exogenous and endogenous variables. The variables are qualitative and dichotomous in nature with multiple modalities. The presented results allow us to determine which exogenous variable has a greater impact on the endogenous variable so that governments can consider it in youth employment policies. We also advise young graduates in terms of finding a job. The purpose of this study is to promote the professional integration of Guinean higher education graduates. The main objective is to identify the problems faced in the labour market by Guinean higher education graduates. Using SPSS software, we have obtained the following results: the higher the level of education, the greater the chances of finding a job; personal initiative gives a better chance of finding a job than any other method of finding a job; men have an advantage over women in terms of employment opportunities; married people are luckier than single people; those who have had a previous job are also more likely to find a job than those who have not had; graduates who have lived abroad are more likely to find a job than those who have not lived abroad.

EDUCATION AS A MAJOR CAPITAL AND THE MAIN BASIS FOR THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF THE COUNTRY

Based on the works of philosophers of the ancient world and scientists of our time, the article analyzes the need for the existence of two components of its development in any country, namely human capital and financial and political opportunities. Attention is paid to the fact that intellectual potential is a set of resources that include human intelligence and creative ability, with its characteristic educational and qualification indicators. It is proved that higher education graduates are the intellectual core that forms the market of qualified specialists capable of becoming the economic potential of the country. It is shown that the rational use of this potential, in combination with other scientific achievements of society, contributes to the achievement of a new quality of economic development, raising living standards and preserving the environment for future generations. That is, the level of awareness and education of each individual is the molecule that lays the foundation for consolidating the country's competitive influence in the international market. To implement the above, the need for more active use of public administration in the educational process at all levels is determined, the expediency of applying legislative regulation of the process of interaction between higher education institutions and business structures is investigated, both for the establishment of joint projects and processes of commercialization and reform of education in different countries, including in modern Ukraine, and for achieving positive changes in strategic planning and economic development.

Admissions in the age of AI: detecting AI-generated application materials in higher education

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as the development of large language models like ChatGPT, have blurred the boundaries between human and AI-generated text. This has led to a pressing need for tools that can determine whether text has been created or revised using AI. A general and universally effective detection model would be extremely useful, but appears to be beyond the reach of current technology and detection methods. The research described in this study adopts a domain and task specific approach and shows that specialized detection models can attain high accuracy. The study focuses on the higher education graduate admissions process, with the specific goal of identifying AI-generated and AI-revised Letters of Recommendation (LORs) and Statements of Intent (SOIs). Detecting such application materials is essential to ensure that applicants are evaluated on their true merits and abilities, and to foster an equitable and trustworthy admissions process. Our research is based on 3755 LORs and 1973 SOIs extracted from the application records of Fordham University’s Master’s programs in Computer Science and Data Science. To facilitate the construction and evaluation of detection models, we generated AI counterparts for each LOR and SOI using the GPT-3.5 Turbo API. The prompts for AI-generation text were derived from the admission data of the respective applicants, and the AI-revised LORs and SOIs were generated directly from the human-authored versions. We also utilize an open-access GPT-wiki-intro dataset to further validate our hypothesis regarding the feasibility of constructing domain-specific AI content detectors. Our experiments yield promising results in developing classifiers tailored to a specific domain when provided with sufficient training samples. Additionally, we present a comparative analysis of the word frequency and statistical characteristics of the text, which provides convincing evidence that ChatGPT employs distinctive vocabulary and paragraph structure compared to human-authored text. The code for this study is available on GitHub, and the models can be executed on user-provided data via an interactive web interface.

Analysis of the Sustainable Role of Higher Education in the Economy

Higher education injects impetus into the sustainable development of the economy by improving the structural and functional order of the education system. From the perspective of economics, the higher salary level of higher education graduates not only indicates the improvement of personal value, but also directly reflects the added value of education. The purpose of this paper is to explore the current state of higher education development in Asian countries and to provide an in-depth analysis of how it can promote economic growth through three main pathways. The value-added evaluation mechanism of higher education encompasses the entire educational process, and its core function is to diagnose, improve and monitor the quality of education to ensure that the ultimate goal of education is to achieve quality, equity and sustainable development. Therefore, the government should expand and deepen the scope and depth of the implementation of the higher education revitalization plan in an orderly manner, continuously improve the compatibility of the plan with the current situation of local development, and continuously improve the support system for the higher education revitalization plan to promote economic growth. This will help optimize the allocation of higher education resources, narrow the economic development gap, and achieve shared prosperity.

This study contributes to the academic discussion on the reform of Islamic higher education curriculum and emphasizes the importance of Islamic religious education in producing graduates who are not only intellectually competent, but also have strong ethical values ​​to face professional challenges. The implication of this study is the need for a more flexible and adaptive curriculum strategy to improve the competitiveness of Islamic higher education graduates in the global job market.

Why do parental education effects on wages differ by study fields? An analysis of bachelor- and master graduates in Austria

ABSTRACT From an equity perspective, it is important that higher education graduates have the same labour market opportunities after graduation regardless of their social background. However, empirical evidence on the direct effect of parental education on labour market outcomes is mixed, with heterogeneous effects across fields of study. A common finding is that social origin is more relevant for labour market success for graduates in business, law, and the arts than for graduates in engineering, IT, or medicine. Analysis of comprehensive Austrian administrative data show disadvantages for first-generation graduates compared to graduates with tertiary educated parents in some fields (e.g. law), but advantages in others (e.g. engineering). Multilevel models show that the composition of study fields in terms of first-generation graduates plays a crucial role in explaining these differences. Other factors such as the distinction between ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ disciplines or the proportion of graduates working in more bureaucratic institutions play no or a lesser role.

Analysis of Millennial Unemployment Among Higher Education Graduates in West Java in 2022

In August 2022, Indonesia has an open unemployment rate (TPT) of 5,86 percent with the highest province, West Java at 8,31 percent, which is still quite far from the target of the 2020?2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) of 3,6?4,3 percent. This situation is exacerbated by the highly educated labour force (diplomas and bachelors) which is only absorbed by 11,81 percent, and the percentage of highly educated millennial unemployment covered by the age of 25?44 years is 46,1 percent. This study was conducted to analyze the general picture and variables that affect millennial unemployment of university graduates in West Java in 2022 using the firth logit method. The data used is raw data from the August 2022 National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) in West Java. The results of this study are 3.61 percent who have the status of unemployed millennial college graduates, then there are variables of marital status, ownership of training certificates, and work experience have a significant effect on the unemployment status of millennial college graduates in West Java in 2022.

Massification of Higher Education in Türkiye and Its Challenges

In the last 20 years, the education system in Türkiye has witnessed massive growth and transformation from primary- and secondary education to higher education. Significant improvements have been made in enrollment rates at all levels of education, reaching a level comparable to OECD countries. In this context, this study focuses on the transformation and massification of higher education in Türkiye. The net enrollment ratio in higher education in Türkiye has increased from 10% to 46% during this period. Especially, the establishment of higher education institutions in all cities has contributed positively to women's access to higher education, and for the first time, the enrollment and graduation rates of women have surpassed those of men. The increase in the supply of higher education and easier access has raised the proportion of higher education graduates from under 20% to over 40% in the 25-34 age group during this period. At the same time, the average length of education for the population aged 15 and over is increasing every year. Additionally, this study identifies problem areas and proposes solutions to ensure the sustainability of the expansion in higher education during this period. The evaluation identifies insufficient face-to-face teaching capacity in the higher education system and attempts to compensate for this deficiency with distance education programs as the primary problem area. Especially since 2015, almost half of the students who have enrolled in higher education have been able to enroll in distance education programs. Therefore, increasing face-to-face teaching capacity in higher education and reducing the proportion of distance education in higher education stand out as challenging issues. The second problem area is highlighted as being related to the limitations in scientific knowledge production performance of higher education institutions and the number of doctoral graduates. Despite an increase in the number of doctoral graduates from all disciplines every year, sustaining the growth achieved during this period is highly inadequate. This problem not only negatively affects the capacity for scientific knowledge production but also creates significant challenges, especially in meeting the need for faculty members in newly established universities, thus adversely affecting the quality of higher education. The study also offers some recommendations for addressing these problems.

Асоціативні образи медіа і журналіста в мовній картині світу майбутніх педагогів

Media is an important component of the information society. The need to protect the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine after the full-scale invasion of the aggressor state, countering the hybrid war increased the importance of mass media. The object of our research is the associative image of the key concepts of the media industry - media and journalist, in particular, semantic shifts in these words, new connotative layering in the collective consciousness of Ukrainians. The purpose of the article is to analyze the associative images of the media and the journalist in the language picture of the world of higher education graduates of pedagogical specialties; on the material of a free associative experiment, associative fields of stimulus words were constructed, the most frequent, repeated and single associates were singled out and characterized. A free associative experiment was chosen as the main research method to collect reactions to stimulus words; descriptive and structural methods were used to analyze the associative field of the words media and journalist; statistical – for processing the obtained results, establishing the quantitative characteristics of the elements of associative fields. Results. The most frequent associations recorded because of the experiment are only partially correlated with the lexicographic characteristics of the stimulus words. Repeated reactions of future teachers represent semantic shifts in relevant concepts and connotational layering, which are relevant in the language consciousness of students of higher education. The associative fields of lexemes consist mainly of single reactions, a small number of which reflect the realities of martial law and well-known media figures. Such results of the associative experiment indicate the need to adjust and deepen the work with future teachers regarding the understanding of the information space, structure and content of the media. Originality. The relevance of our research is determined by the fact that the concepts of media and journalist are socially significant; they belong to the active composition of the lexical system, actualized in language practice by complex transformational processes in society. Among 262 reactions to the media stimulus word, 122 different associates were established. Modern lexicographic sources and industry reference publications equate the concepts of media, mass media. The associative image of the media in the language consciousness of future teachers primarily relates to information and channels and methods of its transmission, a significant part of the participants of the experiment expanded the concept. The associative field consists mainly of single reactions (79.5%). As a result of the free associative experiment, 286 word-reactions to the stimulus word journalist were obtained, of which 167 different associates, the most frequent reaction is news, single reactions make up 85.6% of the associative field. Repeated associates represent the image of a journalist in the language consciousness of future teachers, highlighting the conditions of professional activity and its results. The researched associative fields represent social stereotypes in the assessment of the media and the journalist.

Exit Exams in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review

This systematic literature review aimed to synthesize the literature on exit exams in higher education. To this end, an attempt was made to look into the purpose of exit exams in higher education, the design and preparation of exit exams in higher education, the strengths and weaknesses of the implementation of exit exams in higher education, and the effects of exit exams on students, instructors, programs, and higher education institutions. In the literature search, the researcher used different electronic databases. The databases used were ERIC, JSTOR, Wiley, Google Scholar, and Tylor and Francis. Search terms were formulated and applied to the online databases. A total of 77 study articles were identified, and 11 studies were included in the study after applying inclusion, exclusion, and quality assessment criteria. The review process was guided by research questions. PICO (Problem Intervention Comparison Outcome) was used to formulate the research questions. The paper was prepared using the planning, protocol, extraction, analysis, and reporting stages. This systematic review followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria. Zotero was used for reference management. The study revealed that exit exams are requirements for graduation in higher education. The principal purpose of the exit exams is to assess students’ educational achievement. Exist exams positively affect students, instructors, and intuitions in the higher education context. Exit exams in higher education are used to measure the attitude, knowledge, and skill of graduates in terms of competencies. Exit exams cover the fundamentals of the relevant fields of study. A variety of measurement instruments are used in exit exams. Exit exams are also criticized on different issues. For effective and efficient utilization of exit exams in higher education it requires a higher education system pre-exit, during, and post-exit exam test administration activities. Concerning the future of exit exams in higher education alternative methods of assessment are proposed by scholars.

What Are the Barriers Impeding Female Graduates in Higher Education from Pursuing Entrepreneurship in China? An Investigation from a Theory of Planned Behaviour Perspective.

This study investigates the obstacles encountered by female graduates in China's higher education system when considering entrepreneurship by employing the Theory of Planned Behaviour as an analytical framework. Although entrepreneurship is widely acknowledged as crucial for economic and personal growth, gender inequalities remain, with women being severely underrepresented. The primary objective of this study is to gain insight into the underlying reasons behind the reluctance of female university students, specifically in China, to pursue entrepreneurial ventures. In this study, we conducted 30 semi-structured interviews with female university students from different majors to identify the key barriers that discourage them from starting their businesses. The factors discovered are instrumental and affective attitudes towards entrepreneurship, subjective norms (family, friends, teachers, and others), and perceived behavioural control (encompassing past experiences, second-hand information, and anticipated obstacles). The results showed that a conservative familial atmosphere, risk-averse cultural norms, and limited access to helpful resources and experiences in universities are major obstacles. This study enriches the present knowledge by providing a detailed explanation of the gender-specific obstacles in entrepreneurship in the Chinese context. It proposes that interventions at the educational and governmental levels are imperative to promote female entrepreneurship.

Transitioning from the University to the Workplace: A Duration Model with Grouped Data

Labor market surveys usually measure unemployment duration in time intervals. In these cases, traditional duration models such as Cox regression and parametric survival models are not suitable for studying the duration of unemployment spells. In order to deal with this above issue, we use Han and Hausman’s ordered logit model for grouped durations, which has more flexibility than standard specifications. In particular, its flexibility arises from the fact that we do not need to specify any functional form for the baseline hazard function—it also circumvents problems associated with heterogeneity. The focus of interest is on the first unemployment duration of higher education graduates. The analysis is accomplished by using a large dataset from a graduate survey of Spanish university graduates. The results show that the university-to-work transition of higher education graduates is significantly associated with the graduate’s age, participation in internship programs, field of study, type of university, and gender. Specifically, graduates who participated in internship programs, engineering graduates, and graduates from private universities experience a smooth transition.

FORMATION OF COMPETENCE OF FITNESS AND RECREATION SPECIALISTS IN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION

The relevance of the study is the challenges of the fitness industry in recent times. Having suffered significant losses due to quarantine restrictions and the continuation of military operations on the territory of Ukraine, priority directions for the development of fitness and recreation were determined. These vectors require interested organizations and heads of higher education institutions of physical culture and health profile to take into account the modern demand of the population for fitness and recreational services and to contribute to the development of a system of training relevant personnel. The purpose of this work is to study the state and modern requirements for the training of fitness and recreation specialists in higher education institutions. Methods: theoretical analysis of literary sources, questionnaires, pedagogical observations, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. According to the results of the study, regarding the determination of the professional training of masters of the Institute of Health Care, it was possible to state that only in 9.43 % of respondents found a basic level of fitness skills, 13.2 % of higher education graduates have a threshold level, and 77.37 % have not developed clear abilities for professional growth, which does not allow them to effectively carry out fitness and recreational activities. According to the results of a survey of fitness clubs administrations in Rivne and Vinnytsia, the categories of specialists that are most needed in the fitness industry today are determined:51 % are fitness trainers, 22 % – service sales manager, 21 % – marketers, 6 % are administrators. As a result, it was possible to establish that the respondents give preference to a specialist with an educational and qualification level when selecting personnel: specialist junior bachelor – 24 %, bachelor – 33 %, master’s degree – 36 %, 7 % believe that the level of education is not important. In addition, the majority of respondents give preference to specialists with up to 3 years of work experience – 16 %, from 3 to 5 years – 60 %, over 10 years – 24 %. Based on the analysis of the state of training of fitness and recreation specialists, we have proposed a technology for the formation of fitness and recreation competence in future specialists. Conclusions: the state and requirements for quality training of fitness and recreation specialists to satisfy the requests of service consumers are determined.
