Financial Allocation

China’s financial input mechanism reform’s current development trend involves fully implementing budget performance management and constructing a performance-oriented financial allocation model. These are also essential measures in promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. The current financial allocation method for higher education entails a financial supply policy based on per-student appropriation. A new performance-oriented system of higher- education financial allocation system is necessary to upgrade the per-student appropriation of a single flow, construct a close loop of financial allocation “fund flow,” optimize the allocation of financial resources for higher education, and guide higher-education institutions to deepen comprehensive reform and achieve high- quality development. Based on the actual situation and relevant data of 26 undergraduate universities in Jiangsu of China, this paper proposes a “double dimension” higher-education performance funding index system, conducts an empirical study with the data envelopment analysis model, and suggests policies on the construction, organization, and implementation of higher-education performance allocation models.

This study aimed to conduct operation performance evaluations of Taiwan’s national hospitals during the period 2005–2008 and also propose appropriate suggestions for operation performance improvements. 28 national hospitals were selected as study objects and six input variables and three output variables were filtered as evaluation measures. Data envelopment analysis model was used for annual operation performance evaluation, and Malmquist productivity index for intertemporal operation performance change analysis. In addition, a performance scatter diagram and a strategy management matrix were utilized to synthetically analyze all kinds of operation performance data and accordingly improvement suggestions were proposed. Several findings were explored, including (1) nearly 60% of national hospitals ran an inefficient performance; (2) a significant gap between urban and nonurban hospitals did exist in health care resources allocation and medical service outputs, which reflected the negative public opinion about regional medical care resources gap in Taiwan; (3) other evidence depicted the expectation that the government of Taiwan has already wasted a lot of medical resources in the operation of Taiwan’s national hospitals; (4) 70–80% of Taiwan’s national hospitals ran a constant returns-of-scale operation, while the remainder ran a decreasing returns-of-scale operation; and (5) a extreme disparity existed in the total productivity, which rationally conjectured the cause came from the bad operation of several individual national hospitals. At last, two main suggestions advocated: (a) the government of Taiwan should reconsider the medical care resources allocation between urban and nonurban hospitals; and (b) hospital operation performance should be regarded as one of the main prerequisites for government budget subsidies so as to stimulate operation performance improvement and self-sufficiency operation.

Purpose – The objectives of this research are (1) to describe and analyze the gap between Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) academic and management resource and ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) standard; (2) to describe and analyze the strategy of quality improvement of Universitas Negeri Semarang based on AUN-QA Criteria. Methodology – This research is conducted with qualitative approach combine with statistical analysis. The respondent in this paper is management positions at UNNES. Data were collected by interview, observation, documents study and questionnaire. Data analysis was performed with interactive analysis model and descriptive statistical analysis. Findings – The results revealed that the academic and management resources at Semarang State University are good and potential to become a world class university. Quality culture in the implementation of tridharma (education, research and community service) that developed at Semarang State University has been oriented to higher education continuous quality improvement. Therefore, several strategies for improving the quality of higher education that must be implemented in order to achieve AUN-QA certification are: (1) changing mindset and work culture towards international standard, (2) re-structuring of human resource management through education and training, (3) re-structuring of university governance system, (4) strengthening regional and international networking, and (5) strengthening internal controls mechanism. Significance – These findings can contribute to universities that are preparing to become a world class university to develop a holistic quality assurance system by using the AUN-QA framework reference.

Input Redundancy

Considering both sectoral and regional heterogeneities, this article develops a structural meta-frontier slacks-based measure data envelopment analysis model to decompose the inefficiency level, input reduction and output expansion potentials and efficiency change into three components: sectoral heterogeneity, regional heterogeneity, and resource utilization. Subsequently, an empirical study of China’s provincial tourism subsectors between 2000 and 2014 is conducted. The results show that regional heterogeneity and resource utilization failure are the main contributors to the inefficiency of travel agencies, but the inefficiency of star-rated hotels and tourist attractions are dominated by sectoral heterogeneity. The tourism inefficiency of China is mainly characterized by insufficient output rather than input redundancy, and there are significant differences in the sources of output expansion potential for different tourism subsectors. In addition, the driving force for improving the efficiency of travel agencies ascribed to resource utilization capabilities are pure technological progress and technology scale change.

Students' Independent Professional Activity in Pedagogical PracticeThe topicality of the research is determined by the need for changes in higher education concerned with implementing the principles of sustainable education. The article focuses on teacher training, highlighting the teacher's profession as an attractive choice of one's career that permits to ensure the development of general and professional skills and an opportunity for new specialists to align with the labour market. The empirical study of students' understanding of their professional activity and of the conditions for its formation is conducted by applying structured interviews (of practice supervisors, students, academic staff); students and experts' questionnaire. Comparative analysis of quantitative and qualitative data and triangulation were used in case studies. As a result, a framework of pedagogical practice organisation has been created in order to form students' independent professional activity. The criteria and indicators of independent professional activity have been formulated and suggestions for designers of study programmes and organisers of the study process have been provided.

Education Performance

Higher education in Indonesia is regulated by the government with the Higher Education Accreditation (APT). In APT 3.0, Higher Education is required to be able to present performance data in the form of a Higher Education Performance Report (LKPT) as a reference in making a Self-Evaluation Report (LED). However, it is necessary to have an in-depth analysis to determine the gaps in the data required by Higher Education according to the APT 3.0 standard. The process of integrating the samples refer to the Zachman Framework (ZF). The results of this simplification that the data is available in support of APT 3.0 approximately 79% of the total data both inside and outside the core business of Higher Education and is well managed in an integrated database. The remaining 21% of the data that are not available is spread across several information systems, especially SIMMawa, SIMHumas and Cooperation, and SIMAKU. This shows that the change in accreditation standards that have been in effect since April 2019 has created a significant data gap for Higher Education. This research also produced an alternative model of integrated data management that can be used as input for Information System developers in the Higher Education scope.
