Quality In Higher Education

Data mining is used to extract meaningful information and to develop significant relationships among variables stored in large data set. Few years ago, the information flow in education field was relatively simple and the application of technology was limited. However, as we progress into a more integrated world where technology has become an integral part of the business processes, the process of transfer of information has become more complicated. Today, one of the biggest challenges that educational institutions face is the explosive growth of educational data and to use this data to improve the quality of managerial decisions and student’s performance. The main objective of higher education institutions is to provide quality education to its students. One way to achieve highest level of quality in higher education system is by discovering knowledge for prediction regarding enrolment of students in a particular course, alienation of traditional classroom teaching model, detection of Unfair means used in online examination, detection of abnormal values in the result sheets of the students, prediction about students’ performance. The paper aims to purpose the use of Data mining techniques to improve the efficiency of higher educational institutions. If data mining techniques such as clustering, dicision tree and association can be applied to higher education processes, it can help improve student’s performance.

Student’S Performance

Objective - Worldwide, higher education is critical for the social economic development of the society. However African countries such as South Africa, fail to produce quality graduates capable of facing the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution. Considering the increasingly competitive and dynamic environment, African countries can no longer ignore the needs and factors required to enhance student performance. The aim of this research is to examine the influence of student motivation, satisfaction and loyalty on the student performance of higher education in South Africa. Methodology/Technique – A quantitative approach was adopted in which a questionnaire was used to collect data from 400 students and 335 was usable yielding a valid response rate of 84%. The data was analyzed with the aid of 2 software programs namely, statistical package for social science (SPSS 25.0) and analysis of moment structures (AMOS 25.0). In addition, confirmatory factors analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to test the relationship between constructs and development of the hypotheses. Finding and Novelty – The current findings reveal that students who are motivated, satisfied and loyal to their institution are more likely to perform better than those who are not. The results also reveal that there is a significant relationship between student satisfaction and student performance. It was also shown that the higher the level of satisfaction, loyalty and motivation, the better the performance. Therefore, it is recommended that universities or institutions develop an environment that promote satisfaction, loyalty and motivation of their students. Type of Paper: Empirical.

AbstractThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of academic monitoring in the students’ performance of the Physical Education course in the discipline of Human Anatomy. The sample consisted of 50 students of the Physical Education course (Bachelor’s degree) who were taking the discipline of Human Anatomy (HA). The participants were divided into two groups: non-monitoring (NM) and monitoring (M). Academic monitoring actions were carried out during the students’ after class hours, in which they were assisted by the professor and three monitors. Thus, all the students who participated in the monitoring activities were included in the M group and those students who were not involved in monitoring activities were included in the NM group. The assessment used to verify student’s performance was the last test of the HA discipline. After verifying the data normality, the scores of the groups were compared using the Mann Whitney test. Data were expressed as mean and standard deviation from the mean using the Graph Pad Prism 6 statistical program. The adopted significance index was p <0.05. In the results it was observed that the M group obtained a better performance when compared to the NM group (p <0.001). Therefore, academic monitoring acted as a facilitating tool in the student’s theoretical-practical development and contributed to a better performance in the discipline of HA. Therefore, it can be used as an additional support in the teaching-learning process of students who participate in extra-class monitoring activities. Keywords: Learning. Education, higher. Education. ResumoO objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a contribuição da monitoria acadêmica no desempenho dos estudantes do curso de Educação Física na disciplina de Anatomia Humana. A amostra foi composta por 50 estudantes do curso de Educação Física (Bacharelado) que cursavam a disciplina de Anatomia Humana (AH). Os participantes foram distribuídos em dois grupos: Sem Monitoria (SM) e Com Monitoria (CM). As ações de monitoria acadêmica foram realizadas no contraturno dos estudantes, no qual, foram auxiliados pelo docente e por três monitores. Dessa forma, todos os acadêmicos que participaram das atividades de monitoria foram inseridos no grupo CM e aqueles estudantes que não se envolveram com atividades de monitoria, foram incluídos no grupo SM. A avaliação utilizada para verificar o desempenho dos estudantes foi a última prova da disciplina de AH. Após verificar a normalidade dos dados, as notas dos grupos foram comparadas por meio do teste Mann Whitney. Os dados foram expressos em média e desvio padrão da média por meio do programa estatístico Graph Pad Prism 6. O índice de significância adotado foi de p<0,05. Nos resultados foi observado que o grupo CM obteve um melhor rendimento quando comparado ao grupo SM (p<0,001). Nesse sentido, a monitoria acadêmica atuou como ferramenta facilitadora no desenvolvimento teórico-prático do discente e contribuiu para um melhor rendimento na disciplina de AH. Sendo assim, pode ser utilizada como um suporte adicional no processo ensino-aprendizagem dos acadêmicos que participam das atividades de monitoria extraclasse. Palavras-chave: Aprendizagem.

Modern day Universities/ Degree Colleges/ Higher Education Institutes have made SC as mandatory curriculum for those pursuing UG/ PG degrees. SCR necessitates presentation for course credit. Seminar is evaluated by jury of experts. Clinical formulations of CDC Zoology (PG) students were studied in context with factors influencing student's performance in SCR presentation. Parameters like behavior, presentation, communication skills and viva-voce were monitored. Clinical psychology of 193 CDC students were studied over a period of 10 years in batches. The excellent performance in presentation of 50% students of 2014 batch was due to guide's involvement. SCR of 2 students of 2018 is referred as benchmark documents in CDC. Overall 44% shew good communication skills and 25% students shew excellent communication skills during seminar presentation. Study found semi forward correlation between poor performance in presentation and viva-voce. Overall 19 students gave poor presentation and 11 students performed poorly in question-answer session. Guides were suggested to arrange mock SCR presentation to counter EP disorder. Test period witnessed 8 students suffering from exams phobic disorder. Few students complained about forgetfulness after the presentation. Performance of all the students of 2020 batch who presented online webinar was VG on Fruition scale. Demography analysis was not done due to insignificant strength of male students. Male to Female ratio of CDC in Zoology (PG) is below 1:10. Present study found that performance of HEI student in presentation of SCR is directly proportional to guidance, presentation, communication skill, viva-voce, hard work and confidence, interest and grasping, and time management. Whereas the same has inversely proportional functional relationship with EP, forgetfulness, temporary hearing, attention loss disorders and family woes. A new concept of HEI - Community Engagement is introduced with an objective to make the research understandable to the remotest individual entity of community. Instead of focusing on complex available techniques of analyzing students performance in presentation of seminar, a simplified basic clinical formulation for CDC students involving psychological factors is studied without the help of statistical tools
