This study aims to contribute to the understanding of increasing interest in repurchasing the University of Semarang Higher Education services. The variables tested to increase the Repurchase Interest directly are Switching Cost and Perceived Quality. The indirect variable to increase repurchase interest is student satisfaction through Perceived Quality and Service Recovery. The population is all students using USM Higher Education services as many as 25,302 active students, while a sample of 100 respondents using purposive sampling technique. The analytical tool used is Structural Equation Medelling (SEM) with Partial Least Square (PLS) program applications, namely smartPLS.3.0. The results of hypothesis testing indicate that Hypothesis 1 is rejected, while the other hypotheses are supported. Switching Cost has no significant effect on Repurchase Interest. Perceived Quality and Service Recovery is not directly influential on Repurchase Interest, mediated by Student Satisfaction. Student Satisfaction and Service Recovery have a direct effect on Repurchase Interest.

ABSTRACT In today’s competitive higher education environment in Vietnam, higher education institutions have focussed more on quality education services to improve students’ satisfaction, which is considered an important factor for attracting and retaining students and evaluating the success of these higher education institutions, as a result. This research aimed to examine Vietnamese students’ perceptions about the quality of education services offered at Hue University in Vietnam. The data were obtained from the questionnaires completed by 2933 students from four-university members of Hue University in Central Vietnam. The research results showed that the students were generally satisfied with the quality of education services provided by Hue University. In addition, students’ satisfaction at Hue University is most affected by their perceptions about access to education services and the educational environment. The study also provided several implications, for Hue University in particular and other Vietnamese higher education institutions in general, to enhance their education services to improve the level of education service quality for attracting and retaining students.

The vision of introducing computing as a literacy taught from primary school to higher and lifelong education is producing a worldwide new curriculum design and adoption. A strong research effort has involved researchers and educators to find the best ways to prepare teachers and their students for computing with an emphasis on core computer science concepts. This paper, starting from a previously developed curriculum, aims to present and discuss learning trajectories for a first course on computing aiming to presenting key concepts first, such as functions and their use. This learning trajectory is compared with a second learning trajectory presenting loop and loop invariant first and a third one presenting variable first.
