The Relationship between Mindfulness and Self-Efficacy in Mahasantri Memorizing Qur’an with Peer Support being Moderating Variable

This study aims to explore the relationship between mindfulness and self-efficacy moderated by peer support in al-Qur'an memorization mahasantri. This moderation research involved respondents of al-Qur'an memorization mahasantri with an age range of 18-24 years (N = 162) with sampling using probability sampling, namely random sampling. Data analysis using Jamovi. Based on hypothesis testing using the medmod test, the results show that there is a significant direct positive relationship between mindfulness and self-efficacy in Al-Qur'an memorization students with a z value = 2.31 (p = 0.021) but the interaction effect between mindfulness and peer support shows a negative and insignificant correlation with a z value = -1. 02 (p = 0.308) which means that peer support is not able to moderate the indirect relationship between mindfulness and self-efficacy. however, peer support as a moderating variable has a positive correlation with self-efficacy. students with high mindfulness will have high self-efficacy as well. The implication of this research is that the development of mindfulness and peer support in mahasantri needs to be considered in the management system of higher education and pesantren so that self-efficacy problems do not occur in mahasantri

Original article Formalization of the task of developing wartime curricula and programs

Managing higher education involves solving a number of problems that are difficult to formalize. Such tasks include ensuring consistency of the logical-time sequence of training in real conditions of continuous improvement of documents regulating the educational process (federal state educational standards, professional standards, approximate basic educational programs, curricula, basic professional educational programs, work programs of disciplines, indicators of achievement of competencies and so on.).Increasing the efficiency of higher education management is associated with the introduction of specialized information systems into the educational process of a university, designed to automate basic processes and tasks.The range of tasks solved by the higher education management system is also influenced by the actual sociopolitical situation. In modern conditions, it seems relevant to resolve the issue of developing curricula for shortened training or wartime plans in certain areas of professional activity.Works have been published in which formalized methods have been developed to ensure consistency of the logical-time sequence of learning in the higher education system. These methods create favorable preconditions for their further improvement and application in solving related problems.The applicability of graph theory methods for a formalized solution to the problem of developing wartime curricula and programs is shown.

Improving the risk management process in quality management systems of higher education

The purpose of this paper is to improve the risk management process in the quality management system of higher education, taking into account the hazardous factors that increase the probability of occurrence and severity of consequences of undesirable events, as well as favorable factors that reduce the probability of occurrence and severity of consequences of hazardous events. The basis of risk management in the quality management systems of higher education institutions is the “Bowtie” method, which involves six main steps of identifying inconsistency, determining the impact of hazardous and favorable factors according to the impact group, ranking hazardous and favorable factors, calculating risk, substantiating precautionary measures and checking calculations. To rank hazardous and favorable factors, the authors used the “Decision Making Trial and Evaluation” method (hereinafter—DE-MATEL), which is based on paired comparison and decision-making tools based on graph theory. An improved process is proposed for risk assessment, which differs from the known ones by the presence of the identification of the cause-and-effect relationship “hazard (inconsistency)-hazardous event-consequences”, identification of hazardous and favorable factors of the internal and external environment that affect the probability and/or the degree of severity of a hazardous event—the appearance of an inconsistency, which is carried out after the inconsistency has been determined; determination of causal hazardous and favorable factors by an acceptable method. Registers of inconsistencies (hazards), hazardous and favorable factors have been developed and proposed based on the requirements for accreditation of educational programs and the international standard ISO 9001:2015, which will allow, based on a risk-oriented approach, to provide a basis for setting the goals of a higher education institution under martial law in order to guarantee effective implementation of the mission and strategy. They are proposed for decision-making in the quality management systems of educational organizations on the substantiation of precautionary or corrective measures based on ranking the risks from identified inconsistencies, which are determined taking into account the impact of the entire set of identified significant hazardous and favorable factors. The value of this paper is to improve the quality risk management process in educational organizations, taking into account the impact of hazardous and favorable factors, and to develop an appropriate step-by-step algorithm of actions and a risk assessment form.

METHODICAL ASPECTS OF DETERMINING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FREE ECONOMIC COOPERATION IN THE SYSTEM OF COOPERATION MANAGEMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Introduction. The Cooperation of Cooperation in Higher Education Institutions is becoming the most important component of the innovation process. For regional politicians, it is a vital component of regional innovation policy, as the successful use of R&D results of local free economic zones is important for the competitiveness not only of the region but also of the country as a whole.
 There is a clear shift towards regionalization in higher education innovation policy and technologies. One of its consequences is the expectation from universities to create networks and establish regional connections. It is also important to create broad shared cluster networks, although most clusters focus on weak local networks. Nevertheless, network members are responsible for more patent applications than others. Moreover, it seems that the quality of patents is not reduced in cooperation with the universities of one regional cluster.
 The hypothesis of the research is to substantiate the methodological recommendations and proposals to increase the effectiveness of the interaction of free economic zones in the management system of cooperation of higher education institutions.
 The purpose of the study is to substantiate the features and effectiveness of the interaction of free economic zones in the management system of cooperation of higher education institutions.
 The methodology of scientific research is general and special research methods: logical and comparative analysis in revealing the principles of forming the scientific essence of cooperation
 of higher education institutions; the method of induction was used to make formal-logical generalizations, which allows the formulation of a general conclusion based on the analysis of individual facts and phenomena, the method of deduction was used to obtain intermediate (partial) conclusions based on the analysis of the general process, the method of abstraction was used to identify processes due to the neglect of random phenomena, For modeling and calculations used special software and hardware: MS Excel, RSPSS, programming language "R".
 Conclusions and prospects for further research. Theoretical and methodological provisions for managing the development of cooperation of international higher education institutions, based on maximizing resource complementarity and minimizing institutional incompatibility, and whose main goal is to ensure the development of cooperation of international higher education institutions as a way to improve areas (education, research, technology transfer).
 The scientific and methodological provisions of ensuring the management of the development of cooperation of international higher education institutions, which are based on selected key areas and strategic opportunities from the cooperation of international free economic zones, which allows to ensure the effectiveness of their international activities and provides a basis for leveling economic opportunism.

Quality of life of college students: The effects of state anxiety and academic stress with self-control as a mediator

College education is expected to equip students with various types of knowledge. In reality, however, the learning process is not always easy. Problems can occur and affect students' quality of life. This study aims to examine the effect of state anxiety and academic stress on the quality of life through the mediation of student self-control. A quantitative method was used involving a sample of 400 students from 24 provinces in Indonesia. The measuring instruments employed were the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL), The State Anxiety Scale, the Academic Stress Scale, and the Brief Self-Control Scale. Path analysis was conducted using R software. It was found that self-control partially mediates the effect of state anxiety on the quality of life. State anxiety has a direct effect, with a standardized coefficient of -.351 (p .01), and an indirect one, with a standardized coefficient of -.150 (p .01) on reducing the quality of life through the mediation of self-control. Academic stress has no indirect effect on the quality of life through the mediation of self-control with a standardized coefficient of -.000 (p = .990, p .05). However, it was found to play a direct role in reducing the quality of life, with a standardized coefficient of -.207 (p .01). The findings indicate the multi-dynamic impacts of state anxiety and academic stress toward the quality of life of students. Therefore, the development of anxiety and stress-management skills in students need to be addressed in the higher education management system in order to maintain the quality of life of students.

IMPLEMENTATION OF INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT FORMS IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION REFORM SYSTEM OF UKRAINE

The article presents theoretical research on the innovative reform of the public power of Ukraine as a priority task of European integration and ensuring social and economic stability in the conditions of postwar recovery. However, it is determined that the modern experience of reforming the management system of higher education indicates the presence of several problems that prevent their implementation in the field of public authority. The main contradictions related to the peculiarities of state management innovations are related to the environment of implementation, scale and resource provision, and readiness of authorities to carry out organizational changes. Based on the research on the theoretical and practical prerequisites for the application of innovative practices, system-wide, functional, and instrumental gaps were identified. The author noted the need to establish cooperation between institutions of higher education and institutions of civil society (public associations of various orientations, united territorial communities) as an important prerequisite for further reform. The organizational features of ensuring the effective work of education management bodies and higher education institutions in remote and remote cooperation conditions have been revealed. In the future, it is advisable to focus on monitoring the effectiveness of the implementation of the strategy for the development of higher education until 2032, the implementation of strategic goals, and priority directions.

According to the obtained results, it was concluded that domestic universities are guided by the current standard of higher education of Ukraine in this specialty for formulating the purpose of the educational programs. The attention is focused on the technological aspects of management of educational institutions in the substantive components of the programs. The educational programs of US universities differ in their greater variability, which emphasizes the directing of the learning strategy of the universities educational programs to the needs of the program users.

The Establishment of Colonial College Board System and its guarantee to Free Education

The system of external board of directors is a higher education management system with American characteristics. Its connotation is mainly that the board of directors is the legal representative institution of the university, which is a collegial governance institution composed of people from outside the university and exercises its functions and powers in the way of collective resolution. The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the college and the highest decision-making authority. Its primary responsibility is to select and supervise the President and to ensure that the university's financial position is adequate for the conduct of teaching and research.

Construction of Higher Education Management and Student Achievement Evaluation Mechanism Based on Apriori Algorithm

The Apriori algorithm and DM technology are introduced, examined, and a relationship between bettering teachers’ classroom teaching quality, methods, and means is discussed. An evaluation system for student achievement in higher education is proposed and built on the basis of the Apriori algorithm. The Apriori algorithm is also improved in order to further avoid blind search during mining and increase the effectiveness of frequent itemsets. This paper avoids repeatedly scanning the database and instead reads the entire database into a two-dimensional array, which increases program performance. The algorithm is used to extract useful data from the database using data association mining in the higher education management system. According to the experimental findings, the improved Apriori algorithm’s accuracy can reach 94.81%, which is 10.31% higher than the accuracy of the original Apriori algorithm. The outcomes demonstrate the applicability and reliability of the algorithm model developed in this paper. For managers in teaching and management, it can be a useful reference.

Self-regulation system of continual improvement of quality and efficiency in higher education: A case of Ukraine

Nowadays, the procedures for stimulating the improvement of the quality of higher education in Ukraine are mainly based on periodic expert evaluations. Besides, existing metrics of university efficiency are usually imperfect due to the frequent negative effects of Campbell’s Law and Goodhart’s Law. In addition, the war significantly limited resources for external quality assurance of educational programs. Given this, the aim of this paper was to develop a methodology for an additional self-regulation system of continual improvement of the quality and efficiency of educational activities of Ukrainian universities. The study is based on the advantages of the quantitative approach, measurement methods, and algorithmization in the management system of higher education. As a result, key indicators for the formation of national rankings have been developed by different segments. Moreover, the study elaborated algorithms and mechanisms to constantly encourage higher education institutions to improve quality and efficiency. The paper proposes preventive procedures to reduce the negative effects of unfair achievement of key performance indicators. The result of applying the methodology is additionally acquired or partially lost by the university the volume of license rights for the training of specialists in the current year. This will help curb the process of mass education with a low level of quality. In addition, the proposed system will balance the weaknesses of the accreditation expertise procedure, as well as actively stimulate the independent striving of each educational program for sustainable development and continual progress.

Development and evaluation of the effectiveness of the integration gateway for the interaction of the learning management system with external systems and services of state information systems

The paper presents the results of the development of information technology for the interaction of the learning management system with the state information systems of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of higher education. Integration with these systems is based on the integration gateway, which is part of the educational portal of the East Kazakhstan Technical University named after D. Serikbayev. Approaches to organizing data exchange with external information systems were analyzed and described, and mechanisms for integrating the national database of the Republic of Kazakhstan with a unified higher education management system were identified. The created integration gateway within the framework of the educational portal interacts with the information systems using the technology of transferring a representative state, data transfer is carried out in text format. The implemented gateway allows you to receive the necessary data from the database of the educational portal, generate data packets for transmission, connect to an external system and transfer data. To evaluate the efficiency of the gateway, computational experiments were carried out in which data of various volumes were transferred through the created gateway to state information systems and the time of their transmission was recorded. Based on the obtained data, the dependences of the transmission time on the amount of transmitted data for each information system with which interaction is carried out were obtained and their graphical display was built. According to the results of the experiments, it was shown that the transmission time has a polynomial dependence on the amount of data, which makes it possible to interact with the indicated information systems in real time

Implementasi Manajemen Modern pada Pengelolaan Pendidikan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam

Islamic Higher Education is a higher education institution organized by the Ministry of Religion or Islamic Foundation/Social Organization. The success of an Islamic Higher Education cannot be separated from the management system that regulates all educational activities in it. Modern management principles are the key to success and provide various innovations and new breakthroughs in the governance of an educational institution in managing various educational needs within an institution. The application of good modern management principles in Islamic educational institutions and institutions will have a tremendous positive impact on the progress of the institution. Efficiency and effectiveness will be obtained by Islamic higher education institutions in the higher education management system which will later help achieve the goals of Islamic higher education to be achieved. Therefore, it is appropriate that an Islamic higher education institution wants to change its education management order as a form of effort to improve the learning system in order to get the desired results.

Improving of the decision-making model in the processes of external quality assurance of higher education

The peculiarities of external quality assurance processes in the higher education management system are considered. It is noted that the quality of educational programs (EP) of higher education institutions is controlled by quality assurance agencies (QAAs) using an accreditation system. The key features of the accreditation process in terms of peer review are identified. The problem of accreditation process management, namely the subjectivity and lack of consistency of expert decisions, is highlighted. The correlation method was applied to determine the interdependencies in expert assessments (competence, meaningful orientation of judgments, and perception of the linguistic rating scale). The identified types of variables make it possible to explain the existing measure of subjectivity that affects the collective conclusion of experts. A comprehensive methodology for quantitative evaluation of the EP quality under conditions of uncertainty based on the relative importance of the relevant criteria and subcriteria, as well as the levels of expert competence using the apparatus of fuzzy mathematics, is proposed. A basic model for the formation of a collegial expert opinion on the EP quality has been developed using the example of a system of quality criteria approved by the Ukrainian QAA. Variations in the expert values of the weight coefficients and parameters of fuzzy numbers in the context of the linguistic rating scale (“A – B – E – F”) made it possible to use the means of a computational experiment. The application of this model will allow managers to positively influence the existing ambiguity of the assessment method, which requires being guided by standard criteria and at the same time determining the EP innovativeness. In general, the application of the proposed evaluation tools on the quality of EP allows experts and managers to make decisions at a higher level of academic and managerial culture.

Model of Substantiation of Organizational Structure of the Management System of Higher Education

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to update the management structure of scientific projects within higher educational institutions in accordance with modern economic realities and internationally recognized standards, the essence of which is the transition from a rigid hierarchical management system and orientation towards the commercialization of the results of scientific and technological activities. Therefore, the purpose of this scientific article is to develop a functional model for scientific project management within higher education, the components of which, unlike existing models, will be characterized by a project-oriented direction. To achieve a certain research goal, general scientific research methods were used, including analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, systematization, modeling, as well as structural and mathematical methods, taking into account the key principles of structural-functional and system approaches. The article analyzes a number of scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on the topic of methodological substantiation of the specifics of management of research projects in higher educational institutions. The key concerns of the current state of scientific project management within the Ukrainian scientific space have been identified, in particular, the rigid organizational and staff management structure with the predominant role of the top management, insufficient financial support of scientific and technical activities, as well as limited access to the results of scientific and technical activities. The author’s economic and mathematical model of scientific project management in higher education institutions has been developed considering functional indicators. It is proposed to introduce a body for commercialization of the results of scientific and technical activities, which will help optimize the financial support of scientific and technical activities. The necessity of developing international cooperation within the framework of scientific and technical activities and the organization of scientific projects in particular is substantiated. The practical value of scientific work lies in the development of the author’s own methodological support for the proper functioning of scientific project management with the prospect of its further application in practice

As a research method, the analysis of the interrelations of such components of the system as element, component, subsystem and supersystem in relation to the management system of higher education in Ukraine was used. It was concluded that at the exit from the developed system, alternative options should be obtained for developing a higher education management strategy, in which the central link will be the search for optimal, scientific-based practical management solutions for the constant improvement and self-organizing of the developed system. Overall, it was concluded that the system should be implemented in real-time with the help of comprehensive planned measures aimed at increasing, coordinating, and effective use of the system components based on the system approach taking into account the characteristics of the internal and external environment and other factors of influence.

Composition and Optimization of Higher Education Management System Based on Data Mining Technology

In order to improve the low efficiency of higher education management and the unequal distribution of curriculum resources, facing the actual situation of higher education management, a higher education management system based on data mining technology is constructed and optimized. Using the correlation between MVC components of higher education management platform and the support of data mining technology, this paper constructs the MVC model 2 framework of higher education management platform which is a powerful framework used for developing large-scale projects with ease. We collect the data structure in the database, extract the evaluation indicators of higher education management system, separate the display results and business logic, and improve code reusability. We adopt data input, curriculum management, curriculum scheduling, teacher scheduling, and system maintenance and help to form and optimize the higher education management system. The experimental results show that the constructed and optimized higher education management system can maintain good scheduling performance and provide better teaching services for teachers and students.

Academic Management System Integration Of Private Universities

The Academic Management System of Higher Education is a component of the Institutional Management System of Higher Education, which is concerned with the overall management tools that have been designed and compiled in a systematic and rigorous manner. Nowadays, as technology advances and student generations change, educational institutions are encouraged to continually respond to the use of technology in their service systems. The aim of this thesis is to identify and interpret research results relating to academic management system alignment. A descriptive qualitative approach is used in this research. According to the findings of the study, while universities do have an institutional management scheme in place, its execution is not optimal. Universities do have an Academic Management System in place, but it is not yet fully implemented. The academic Management System also has some elements missing, such as academic calendar scheduling, new student placement, new and old student enrollment, classes, grading, thesis instruction, and graduation.
