Higher education institutions have been obliged to work extremely hard to ensure their sustainability and growth to meet the ever-increasing demands of university students, parents, and stakeholders. Universities have been under great pressure to remain competitive with a great deal of emphasis placed on being innovative, building auxiliary structures, and acquiring qualified academics. The concept of service delivery of academic departments in universities of technology has received minimal attention. This study explored student expectations and perceptions of service quality provided by academic support departments with the intention of enhancing the level of student satisfaction and experience. A quantitative research approach was employed using questionnaires. A nonprobability convenience sampling was adopted to identify 260 students. Data were coded and analyzed for descriptive analysis using SPSS Version 23.0. The findings revealed that many students were not content with various services provided by the academic departments within the university and that the academic departments did not offer students the services that they expected. The dimension of SERVQUAL displayed a negative gap in services provided by academic administrative staff. On the basis of these findings, it is recommended that the university attends to the identified key areas of concern, particularly administrative staff competency.

ABSTRACTWith the use of mobile technologies, learning in the ubiquitous context can stimulate students to seek knowledge within and outside the academic environment. The objective of this article is to verify the adaptation to teaching with the use of mobile technology in the teaching and student perspective, being the participants of higher education institutions of the greater Goiânia. The research found that mobile devices offer greater autonomy to students by enabling them to better manage their learning. From a teaching perspective, it has been shown that such technologies can improve learning if used adequately, but the devices are insufficient to enable learning.RESUMOCom o uso das tecnologias móveis, a aprendizagem no contexto ubíquo pode estimular o estudante a buscar conhecimento dentro e fora do ambiente acadêmico. O objetivo deste artigo é verificar a adaptação quanto ao ensino com a utilização da tecnologia móvel na perspectiva docente e discente, sendo os participantes de Instituições de Ensino Superior da grande Goiânia. A pesquisa constatou que os dispositivos móveis oferecem maior autonomia aos discentes por possibilitá-los melhor gerenciamento da aprendizagem. Na perspectiva docente, demonstrou-se que tais tecnologias podem melhorar a aprendizagem se utilizadas adequadamente, contudo os dispositivos são insuficientes para possibilitar a aprendizagem.

The central tenet of the new Constitution of South Africa is to create equal and socially just economic order. This resulted in the higher education sector being restructured through incorporations and mergers. The limited financial resources, forces universities to evaluate and review their marketing strategies in order to attract suitably prepared and qualified students. The universities have not fully explored the role played by choice factors in influencing the students’ decision of enrolling at a particular university. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that may influence students in their choice of selecting a public university in the Tshwane Metropolitan Region, South Africa. An empirical study was conducted amongst first year students at two public universities in the Tshwane Metropolitan Region, Pretoria. The study design was quantitative in nature, using a descriptive technique, cross sectional and collected data through the application of a non-probability sampling being utilized to obtain data from a sample of 216 respondents. The results of this study suggest that South African education landscape has evolved towards a market-orientated system in which Higher Education Institutions operate as businesses with marketing challenges. The results provide HEIs a guide to identify the key factors that influence students in the selection of a university in a developing country. University management should take cognizance of the gaps and position the university as an institution of first choice in South Africa. Keywords: demographics, choice factors, universities, higher education institutions (HEIs). JEL Classification: M31, L14, L31
