Quality Assurance System of Higher Education in Kazakhstan Through Stakeholders’ Eyes: An Empirical Study to Identify Its Challenges

The purpose of this study is to identify the problems of the quality assurance system of higher education in the Republic of Kazakhstan. To do this, the opinions of the stakeholders (students, teaching staff, employers, administrative, and managerial staff) in the process were screened. The data obtained were compared with the results of independent international ratings and other parameters. For screening, field studies were conducted using a questionnaire for students, teachers, non-academic employees of universities, and employers covering all regions of Kazakhstan in terms of quality assurance components. Based on the constructivist approach, the answers were interpreted to identify the problems of the quality assurance system in the understanding of the study participants. This study revealed that participants rate the quality of the content at a below-average level, the quality of the contingent at an average level, the quality of staff at a lower-than-average level, and the quality of infrastructure at a low level. Comparing the results of the survey and interviewing with the analysis of the results of entrance exams and ratings made it possible to identify the most pressing problems in ensuring the quality of educational programs, contingent, staff, and infrastructure of universities and draw conclusions about its improvement. The obtained results will help to customize the system of quality assurance of higher and postgraduate education, thus contributing to the training of highly competitive specialists for the country’s economy.

Penerapan PCA dan Algoritma Clustering untuk Analisis Mutu Perguruan Tinggi di LLDIKTI Wilayah IV

The Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) is a guideline used by universities to assess the quality of performance and implementation of higher education internally. SPMI is very important to be considered by universities in order to compete positively with other universities, both at home and abroad, as well as to improve the management and implementation of higher education in the institution. In this study, three machine learning algorithms are applied, namely K- Means, Mean Shift, and DBSCAN, to cluster SPMI data. The methods used include Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reduce data complexity without losing important information, and three clustering algorithms to group universities based on similarity of quality indicators. The K-Means algorithm clusters data based on distance to the nearest centroid, Mean Shift identifies clusters based on data density, and DBSCAN clusters data based on density and is able to handle outliers and irregularly shaped clusters. The results show that Mean Shift produces the best cluster with Silhouette Score 0.566, Davies- Bouldin Index 0.648, and Calinski-Harabasz Index 971.07. The K-Means algorithm provides quite good results with Silhouette Score 0.466, Davies-Bouldin Index 0.757, and Calinski-Harabasz Index 757.06. Meanwhile, DBSCAN has lower performance with Silhouette Score 0.216, Davies-Bouldin Index 1.045, and Calinski-Harabasz Index 105.67. This research provides the results of identifying universities that need special attention and helps in strategic planning for quality improvement so that they can carry out guidance more effectively and contribute to the development of a quality assurance system for higher education in Indonesia.

Sistem Penjaminan Mutu Eksternal (SPME)

The purpose of writing this work is to analyze the form of an external quality assurance system (SPME). The library research method for studying the External Quality Assurance System (SPME) in Indonesian higher education involves collecting, analyzing and interpreting secondary data from various trusted sources such as books, scientific journals, articles, reports and official documents. The steps include identifying and selecting relevant literature, reviewing the literature to understand SPME concepts and practices, and organizing and synthesizing data to provide a comprehensive picture of SPME. It is hoped that the results of this research can be used as a basis for developing strategies to improve the quality of higher education in Indonesia. The result of this work is that the implementation of the External Quality Assurance System (SPME) in Indonesian higher education institutions faces various obstacles such as limited human resources, facilities and infrastructure, as well as financial constraints, which hinder the effectiveness of quality assurance. To overcome these obstacles, increased resource support, technological infrastructure and ongoing professional training are needed. Collaboration between universities, accreditation institutions, government and industry is very important to improve the quality of higher education. With the right strategy, the quality of higher education in Indonesia can be improved, producing graduates who are competent and ready to compete on the global stage.

Internal Quality Assurance System in Indonesia Higher Education: Literature Review

The importance of Quality Assurance (QA) is increasing worldwide, particularly in developed countries where products and services are prominent. The aims of this study analyze a comprehensive and essential comprehension of Internal Quality Assurance in Indonesian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The main approach utilised in this study involved doing a literature review, wherein relevant literature from many reliable sources was identified and subsequently filtered based on its relevance. This study emphasises four research topics that warrant thorough investigation. The implementation of the SPMI (System of Internal Quality Assurance) in multiple Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has been effectively executed, with the involvement of quality assurance bodies at the university, faculty, and study programme levels. Furthermore, there is the preparedness of SPMI documentation, the execution of the quality cycle, and the implementation of Internal Quality Audit by the Audit Team. It is imperative to consistently and sustainably implement SPMI in Indonesian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This will lead to an improvement in quality and the ability to satisfy stakeholders through the effective execution of the University's trifocal functions, namely teaching, research, and services.

The Mediating Effect of Human Capital on Teaching Quality and Employment Quality of Migrant Workers in Vocational Education Institutions in China
