Using Data

With advent of smart-phones and internet first approach, large amounts of data is generated and collected everyday which is considered as Big Data. Analyzing and making sense out of such data is very important but challenging as well, due to its complexity. The knowledge is hidden in the data and can be extracted through Data mining techniques. The purpose of this descriptive research study is to evaluate and predict the mindset of rural and urban students with text analytics and visualization capabilities in the Orange tool. As part of the study a group of undergraduate students from different regional backgrounds participated in a survey for analyzing their mindset being growth mindset and fixed mindset along with a range in-between. The respondents’ data was used as training dataset for the classification model, which was then used to train the prediction model in the Orange tool. The results showed 75% accuracy in predicting the mindset.

Undergraduate Thesis

The aim of this research is to analyze manuscripts of undergraduate thesis by graduate students of TechnicalInformatics in regards to know the duration of study, technical skills in software engineering, complexities ofapplication. 200 samples of final assignments as research subjects were evaluated taken from 10 privateuniversity libraries at Coordinator of Private Universities (Kopertis) Level Region III. The topic of final assignmentanalyzed is about software design and development. Sample analysis of this research uses open coding method. The first phase of open coding aims at knowing the duration of study and developing topical categories of undergraduate thesis. The second step of open coding is to classify technical skills in process of software engineering; the classificationitself is based on Life Cycle Skill Areas in Software Engineering Competency Model (SWECOM) designed by IEEEComputer Society. The third step is to look at complexities of the application. Further, selective coding is done todetermine the competency software engineering of undergraduate students at Coordinator of Private Universities LevelRegion III through analyzing the duration of the study, technical skills and complexity of application. Result of this studyhas shown that many graduates of Technical Informatics do not complete their study on time; the duration theyaccomplish their study is beyond than 7-8 semesters. In software engineering, the graduates have good skills indesigning software, however the skills to analyze and skills to software testing need more improvement. Theapplications produced by undergraduate students have low and medium complexities. A small number of applicationswhich have high level of complexities. Based on this research, to improve students’ competency in software engineeringneed to do some improvements: 1) to put big effort of students in software engineering, 2) to improve technical skills ofstudents in the stages of System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The result of this research can be used as basicinformation for Study Program of Technical Infromatics of private universities, more specificly at Coordinator of PrivateHigher Education (Kopertis) Level Region III to develop curiculum in the field of software engineering based NationalQualification Framework (KKNI) and National Standards for Higher Education (SN-DIKTI)

Students Satisfaction

Delivering satisfactory educational quality is paramount to achieving institutional objectives such as improve revenue, enrolment growth, contributes significantly to the goal of sustainable competitive advantage for most for-profit universities. In Nigeria, many private universities are recording low enrolment into their BSc Marketing degree programmes. However, students’ disposition to marketing as a course of study has not been well studied. Most marketing education studies have focused mainly on the teaching methodologies without giving due consideration quality of educational experience that shape enrolment into this vital field of study. This study examined the effect Service Quality (SQ) and Students’ Satisfaction (SS) into BSc. Marketing degree programmes in selected Nigerian private universities in South Western Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey research design was adopted in this study. The population consisted of 201 BSc undergraduate students from six selected private universities from South Western geo-political zone of Nigeria. Total enumeration was employed and all the undergraduate marketing students of the six selected private universities were respondents for this work. A structured questionnaire was adapted and validated. The Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient for the constructs were indicated thus; SQ =0.833 and SS=0.88807. The response rate of 97.5 % was achieved for this study. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that that service quality had significant effect on student satisfaction for B.Sc. Marketing degreeprogrammes in selected private universities in South Western Nigeria (R2= 0.084, β = 0.252, t = 2.757, p<0.05). The study recommended that universities and marketing professional associations should commit significant resources to organizing career fairs, workshops, essay competitions and expert series to create public awareness on the importance of marketing as a career and the foundational role the profession plays in profit and non-profit organizations.

Students from private undergraduate universities were included in this study as research subjects. Questionnaires were distributed to the students to collect information in order to keep abreast of students’ motivation, preference, preparation and plan, encountered difficulties and adjustments made, demands, as well as other aspects about their postgraduate entrance examination. The results showed that students from private universities have clear motivation for their postgraduate entrance examination, but there are some problems, such as the lack of scientific choices, long preparation time, more challenges, and lack of school support. In view of these problems, this study offers countermeasures and suggestions for these students and relevant schools.

This study on the digital divide and online instructional delivery readiness among universities in Nigeria employed the descriptive survey research design. Six universities were selected in South-South, Nigeria. These include two federal, two-state, and two privately-owned universities. The selected universities are the University of Calabar, University of Benin, (federally owned), River State University of Science and Technology; Cross River University of Technology (state universities) and Arthur Jarvis University, Akpabuyo and Benson Idahosa University Benin City (private universities) all in South-South Zone, Nigeria. Three faculties were selected from each university. These include Education, Science and Social Sciences. Different departments were randomly selected within each of the selected faculties. The population of the study was 10,274 undergraduate students during the 2020 academic session. A random sampling procedure was employed to choose undergraduates from all levels in the selected departments using a sampling percentage of 20% to give a sample size of 2,596. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire. The questionnaire collected data on demography, availability of ICT infrastructure, staff and students ICT skills, factors deepening the divide, and online instruction readiness of universities. Data collected were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science version 23 (SPSS) to get frequency and percentages. The results from the analyses reveal that a greater percentage of the students are highly proficient in ICT skills, private universities had more ICTs than public universities, and it was also though private universities were ready, the sampled public universities were not technically ready for online instructional delivery.
