The determinants of recommendation intention and student satisfaction in private higher institutions: Empirical evidence from Kazakhstan

ABSTRACT Student satisfaction and loyalty are crucial metrics for assessing the quality of education in universities. Despite their importance, these aspects have received limited attention within the private higher education sector in Kazakhstan. Our study addresses this gap by applying customer satisfaction models to identify the critical factors influencing student satisfaction at a leading Kazakhstani private university. We developed a comprehensive research framework that includes the university's institutional capabilities, the social environment, and students’ perceptions of the university's ethos. A survey conducted with 129 undergraduate students revealed that institutional capabilities and students’ perceptions of the university's ethos play a pivotal role in fostering satisfaction, which, in turn, enhances their likelihood to recommend the institution. Our research offers valuable insights and a strategic framework for private universities in Kazakhstan to improve their educational services, thereby increasing student satisfaction, loyalty, and ensuring the institution's long-term success.

Humanitarian learning environment of the regional university as an object of monitoring and management

Introduction. Modernization of modern higher education determines new requirements to the structure of university learning environment as a part of educational space and social environment of students and updates its humanitarian component. The strategy of training humane centered individual is documented in the fundamental documents of the world's leading universities and presupposes an adequate mechanism for assessing the quality of this environment and its key subjects. At the same time, in the context of the implementation of the concept of academic leadership, national ideas in the field of science and education, a special role in the organization of monitoring the quality of education is assigned to the regions in order to maximize the effective realization of their human, intellectual and cultural capital.Materials and Methods. In accordance with the goals and objectives of the article, the research methodology is represented by a group of theoretical (analysis and generalization of scientific literature, synthesis of the obtained information) and empirical methods (survey, questionnaire, observation). The methodological basis was shaped by research in the field of humanization of universities learning environment, quality of higher education and monitoring of higher education. The author also proceeds from the understanding of the development of the regional system of higher educational as a highly organized multilateral interactions of various participants, the main among which include governing bodies, civil society institutions, employers, students, administration of educational institutions, teaching and academic staff.Results. Performance assessment and performance monitoring of universities represent one of the main open information sources for full-scale studies of the educational process and analysis of the current state of the learning environment of universities of different levels and focus. The paper discusses approaches of Russian and foreign researchers to genesis and structure of learning environment and humanitarian learning environment, describes the content of such key terms as «monitoring», «monitoring in education», «management in education». The main monitoring indicators proposed are the students' satisfaction with the main parameters of the educational process (learning activities, extracurricular activities, research activities), assessment of the spatial-semantic component of the university, employers' satisfaction with the quality of graduates' training.Discussion and Conclusions. Management of the quality of education in a modern university is directly related to the systematic monitoring of the quality of its learning environment. The author comes to the conclusion that the diversity of targets of monitoring the quality of higher education determines the plurality of approaches to the procedure of its implementation. The accumulation of monitoring data makes it possible to formulate a scientifically grounded judgment about the quality of the university learning environment as a whole and identify promising directions for further development. The obtained data confirmed the need to expand the fundamental humanitarian component of higher education as the basis for a holistic and systemic perception of the world, which, in turn, implies the modernization of the principles of selection and systematization of knowledge, the search for new forms of their synthesis, as well as the active interaction of science, art, natural sciences and humanities.

ПРІОРИТЕТНІ МОДЕЛІ РОЗВИТКУ ВИЩОЇ ОСВІТИ В СУЧАСНОМУ КИТАЇ

The article emphasizes the importance of applying innovative models of higher education development, which should include: planning, when the strategy is developed by experts or research scientists based on the analysis of the state of education functioning; experience, when the strategy is developed by trial and error with the involvement of the maximum number of pedagogical workers; the relationship between education and economic development. This model should include internal, external, scientific, creative, economic and ideological needs. The model is considered as formed by the means of sign systems, mental analogues (logical) constructs that schematically reflect the educational practice as a whole or its individual fragments. The article analyses the transformation of the development of the modern model of higher education in China in historical retrospect. The First Stage: 1978-1984. During this period, the reform of the country's economic and political system began. The Second Stage: 1985-1992. In 1984-1985, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China successively adopted decisions on the reform of the economic system and the reform of the scientific and technological system. The Third Stage: 1993-1998. In early 1992, Comrade Deng Xiaoping inspected Southern China, after which his keynote speeches, which became the report at the "14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China", were published. The fourth stage: from 1999 to the present. In June 1999, the Party Central Committee and the State Council held the third national conference on higher education "Reforms and Openings". The article states that a multi-component model of the quality of university education should include a large number of factors: the presence of outstanding scientists and scientists who have a significant number of studies and monographs related to the current problems of modern education; the possibility of students achieving certain (creative, non-standard, logical) goals as a result of studying at the university; quality of the diploma and successful employment. The parameters of the quality of higher education in today's conditions are emphasized: the transition from unjustified teaching methods to innovative ones that provide for the individualization of the educational process; managing the development of higher education on the basis of public-private partnership; teamwork; high level of learning motivation; active cooperation of the one who teaches and the one who learns; high professionalism of the subject; intellectual development of the subject; his capacity for self-learning.

Institutional Information Communication Technology Capacity influence on E-Learning Utilization for Instruction in Kenyan Universities

E-Learning is globally recognized as a significant strategy in improving relevancy, efficiency, costeffectiveness, and quality of higher education. The paper presents a discussion of Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure capacity influences on e-Learning utilization in instruction in Kenyan universities, with a view to determining strategies that universities employ to enhance e-Learning utilization. It opines that e-Learning has not been very popular as a method for instruction in universities, due to limited institutional ICT infrastructure capacities to fully implement e-Learning. The study used the mixed methods research design methodology to debate, reflect, critique, and discuss institutional capacities by universities in utilizing e-Learning in instruction. The reviewed different data sources, borrowed and immensely used government publications, e-Learning books, journals and research articles were used in document analysis. The researchers also used own intuitive experience and knowledge in e-Learning utilization in instruction. E-Learning utilization demands for collaborative effort between government, universities, faculty and students, as well us bodies like the Commission for University Education (CUE). It was found that there are several major barriers to institutional capacities of universities in utilizing e-Learning in instruction. First, was the procurement of technology and sourcing of funds. It was seen that the total capitation for funding the programs was as low as 3%. Secondly, internal barriers arising from within individual institutions and faculty. Majority of the universities for a long time have relied on face to face interaction between students and faculty. However, in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, all learning institutions including universities, colleges and schools were forced to close down and seek alternative methods of instruction. It was found that most universities have moderate capacities to utilize e-Learning, but are yet to exploit its full potential. The study also established that nearly all the faculty were aware and used e-Learning for instruction but to a limited extent. Findings revealed that faculty prefer blended mode of instruction, but complained of limited bandwidths and poor connectivity for faculty and students far off from the university campuses. To mitigate the challenge, universities must strive to train and retrain the faculty on how to use technology and not about technology. Based on the review carried out in six universities; all the universities have some technologies in place including Computer Based Learning, Virtual Learning, video conferencing, content delivery via networks, use of memory sticks and emails. All have an e-Learning portal, module and platforms used for e-Learning. Majority of the university dons consider bandwidth, networking and a reliable Learning management system (LMS) as critical infrastructure for e-Learning utilization. Development and improved utilization of e-Learning is practically possible with enhanced institutional capacities. Enhanced use implies enhanced information transfer, reduced movement of faculty and students allow adequate time for faculty to invest in innovative teaching; enable faster transfer of information while students actively learn on their own. This would help bridge the gap and reduce pressure on existing resources. E-Learning could be the solution to the problem of increased student enrolment and reduced quality of university education. However, to ease the burden of financing university programs, public- private sector partnerships need to be encouraged. The study established that universities must provide students with affordable internet. To a large extent it delves into possible benefits and opportunities that would arise if universities realize and utilize fully the available institutional infrastructure and e-Learning resources. Demand is made upon the universities to develop and operationalize e-Learning policy and invest more in capacity building, set up infrastructure to deliver instruction online.

Objectives This study analyzes the learning effects between groups using Tablet PCs and handwritten notes methods among early childhood education freshmen. The focus is on examining learning engagement, enthusiasm, satisfaction with university life, and academic achievement.
 Methods The study participants consisted of 45 freshmen majoring in early childhood education at A university in Chungcheong province, all of whom had completed courses in early childhood music education. I conducted frequency(%) distributions and performed trend, normality, and reliability coefficient analyses of the research variables using SPSS 25.0. Since the normality assumptions were not met, I utilized the Mann-Whitney U test to assess the differences between the group using tablet PCs and the group employing handwritten notes. The statistical significance of the mean difference in pre-post scores between two groups was analyzed at the p<.001, p<.01, and p<.05 levels.
 Results The main results are as follows: First, the preliminary homogeneity test between the groups using tablet PCs and handwritten notes revealed no statistically significant differences, indicatingthat homogeneity was established between the two groups. Second, the tablet PC group scored higher than the handwritten notes group on variables related to learning engagement and its sub-domains(cognitive, behavioral, and emotional engagement), academic enthusiasm and its sub-domains(energetic, committed, and engaged), and university life satisfaction and its sub-domain(administrative and welfare services), and these differences were statistically significant. On the other hand, there were no statistically significant differences in the variables related to overall university life satisfaction and the quality of university education, which are sub-domains of university life satisfaction. Academic achievement was higher in the tablet PC user group compared to the handwritten note user group, and this difference was statistically significant.
 Conclusions The research results suggest the need for contemplation on teaching and learning methods in response to the changes in the digital educational environment in higher education. I aim to propose a way to operate courses by applying AI-based innovative teaching methods, focusing on both theoretical and practical courses inthe field of early childhood education.

First, summarize the basic concept of fuzzy logic and its application in the evaluation process. Then, a physical education quality evaluation index system covering teaching quality and students’ physical quality, teachers’ team construction, sports facilities and management is constructed. Then, the evaluation object and evaluation level are determined, and the specific evaluation results and ranking are calculated by fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model. In the empirical analysis, use the simulation data for model application and result analysis, and further find the problems existing in college physical education. Finally, in view of these problems, a series of improvement and optimization suggestions are put forward. This study shows that the evaluation method of physical education quality based on fuzzy logic can effectively reflect the diversity and complexity of education quality, and provide a practical evaluation tool for colleges and universities. At the same time, this study also provides a reference for other universities to help them better understand their own problems, so that they can take effective measures to improve. In addition, this method can be applied to other fields of education quality evaluation in the future, so as to provide more useful information for education reform and development.

ExpTODIM-driven framework for 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic MAGDM with applications to teaching quality evaluation in higher education

Since the new century, the main theme of my country’s higher education is to improve the quality of teaching. To this end, the education administrative department and the vast number of colleges and universities have done a lot of work. Looking back, this teaching quality construction involving thousands of colleges and universities across the country has attracted much attention from all walks of life. The government as the organizer promotes the active participation of colleges and universities in the form of teaching evaluation under the leadership of administrative authority and the “quality engineering” project with resources and reputation, which has played a huge role in improving the teaching quality of colleges and universities. The teaching quality evaluation in higher education is a classical multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) issue. Recently, the Exponential TODIM (ExpTODIM) method has been used to cope with MAGDM issues. The 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic sets (2TLNSs) are used as a tool for characterizing uncertain information during the teaching quality evaluation in higher education. In this paper, the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic number ExpTODIM (2TLNN-ExpTODIM) is built to solve the MAGDM under 2TLNSs. In the end, a numerical case study for teaching quality evaluation in higher education is given to validate the proposed method. The main contribution of this paper is constructed: (1) the Exponential TODIM (ExpTODIM) method is extended to the PLTSs; (2) the 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic number ExpTODIM (2TLNN-ExpTODIM) is built to solve the MAGDM under 2TLNSs; (3) Finally, a numerical case study for teaching quality evaluation in higher education is given to validate the proposed method.

Combination prediction method of students' performance based on ant colony algorithm.

Students' performance is an important factor for the evaluation of teaching quality in colleges. The prediction and analysis of students' performance can guide students' learning in time. Aiming at the low accuracy problem of single model in students' performance prediction, a combination prediction method is put forward based on ant colony algorithm. First, considering the characteristics of students' learning behavior and the characteristics of the models, decision tree (DT), support vector regression (SVR) and BP neural network (BP) are selected to establish three prediction models. Then, an ant colony algorithm (ACO) is proposed to calculate the weight of each model of the combination prediction model. The combination prediction method was compared with the single Machine learning (ML) models and other methods in terms of accuracy and running time. The combination prediction model with mean square error (MSE) of 0.0089 has higher performance than DT with MSE of 0.0326, SVR with MSE of 0.0229 and BP with MSE of 0.0148. To investigate the efficacy of the combination prediction model, other prediction models are used for a comparative study. The combination prediction model with MSE of 0.0089 has higher performance than GS-XGBoost with MSE of 0.0131, PSO-SVR with MSE of 0.0117 and IDA-SVR with MSE of 0.0092. Meanwhile, the running speed of the combination prediction model is also faster than the above three methods.
