Abstract:

The relationship between higher education and the world of work is explored in this thesis in a case study of engineers in Indonesia. The research attempts to gain a deeper understanding of the perceived needs and expectations of employers with regards to engineering graduates, and examines the relevance of university education and training for initial occupations in the first few years of work after graduation. The study investigates these relationships through a variety of instruments, including interviews of employers and graduates, a tracer study of 1,800 reCent engineering graduates, and in-depth studies of two of the more successful engineering institutes in the country. The thesis comprises six chapters. Following an introductory chapter, the relevant literature, reviewed in chapter 2, highlights some shortcomings in the understanding of the ·relevance of university education to the world of work. In particular, studies investigating the views of various interested parties, such as employers and professional bodies, appear not to have given sufficient attention to recent graduates and the tasks they perform, the training they receive in the work place, and their opinions of the strengths and weaknesses of their education courses. The country context for the study is discussed in chapter 3. Indonesia is a large and low-income but rapidly developing Newly Industrializing Economy. Its economy has grown at the rate of 6%-7% per annum over the last 20 years, and manufacturing employment has grown at an annual rate of 10% in recent years, bringing in their wake profound structural changes. A number of issues in, higher education are discussed next, including the rapid expansion of engineering education, the quality of new entrants to the system and their achievement levels, the format of the engineering curriculum and teacher capabilities, and their consequences for the quantity and quality of educational delivery. Chapter 4 discusses the methodology used in the research. The general framework for the research is the case study method using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. A purposive sample of thirty employers were interviewed in the rapidly expanding fabricated metals sub-sector of the manufacturing industry. The interviews were complemented by observations of the production processes involved. To assist triangulation, the views of recent engineering graduates employed in the same firms were canvassed. These graduates were also included in a more comprehensive tracer study of some 1,800 recent engineering graduates from public and private universities and some public polytechnics. Finally, two case studies were conducted in an attempt to understand the reasons for the high premium graduates from the top two engineering institutions can command in professional employment. Chapter 5 discusses the findings of the surveys and interviews and analyzes the results of the research. It is divided into two parts. In part A, both employers and graduates had little difficulty in pointing out the shortcomings of current engineering education programmes. These are documented here. They were also able to formulate constructive suggestions for their improvement. Many of the suggestions were common to both groups. Part B discusses the two special studies and attempts to assess their transferability to other engineering departments. The final chapter 6 highlights some of the more important issues raised by the study. It provides a number of recommendations for education policy makers and discusses the constraints to implementing change in Indonesian higher education institutions. One important suggestion is to encourage curriculum developers and teachers to become aware and take note of the valid and substantial contribution employers and graduates can make to curriculum development. Finally, the thesis argues for the more widespread use of needs identification in curriculum development in higher education for the professions.

Abstract:

This research addresses three questions in the area of networked robotics: I. A model-driven review of the requirements for an Internet-attached robot system for use as a teaching resource for undergraduate and taught postgraduate level degree courses. 3. Creation of a baseline model of electronics and mechanical manufacturing capabilities across UK Higher Education establishments. 4. Establish whether manufacturing an Internet-attached robot from a bespoke design which meets all these requirements demonstrates advantages over the use of commercial off-the-shelf products. 5. A discussion of the cost and benefits of three common approaches to student assignments in robotics and related fields; hands-on laboratory experiments, simulators, and remote access laboratories. A pedagogical model for an Internet-attached online robot system for use in higher education is presented, which has been built on both a survey of Universities within the United Kingdom, and published work from authors around the world. Complementing the pedagogical model is a summary of the manufacturing capabilities typically available in a University workshop. A custom designed and purpose built mobile robot platform is presented, which together with its supporting arena environment provides an implementation of the pedagogical model. The mobile robot platform is fully bespoke, and careful design ensured that the mechanical components did not exceed the manufacturing capabilities of a typical University. Features of the robot include four-wheel drive and steering, a number of different sensors, and stereo vision support. The on-board sensors include ultrasonic rangefinders, surface colour sensors, a low-cost laser object sensor, and three stereo vision heads. Connectivity to the robot is via standards-based 802.llg wireless Ethernet and TCP/IP. A decentralised processing approach was used, so as to enable robustness and resilience of the system, and attempting to ensure that a failure of one part of a subsystem does not affect the operation of the system as a whole.

Abstract:

This thesis aims to better understand the under life of Indonesian academics during implementation of major policy changes associated with the Higher Education Act 2012. More specifically the study sought to explore and analyse the principal changes as experienced by academics in Indonesian state universities, how academics responded to these changes and the impact of these changes upon the nature of academic work and organisations. The research undertaken was in the form of a multiple-embedded case study using semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis as instruments to collect data. Interviews were conducted with 30 academics in three state universities in Indonesia. The findings demonstrate how Indonesian academics' work is moving away from their traditional functions and roles towards new prescribed roles revealing tensions between maintaining their existing identities and pressures from the external environment to adapt. Using Scott's notion of 'weapons of the weak' the study reveals how Indonesian academics have resisted and accommodated policy reform in ways that have taken largely discursive and unobtrusive forms. It is anticipated that the study will both contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of academics' work lives as they encounter large scale reform, and offer guidance for policy makers in the formulation and enactment of relevant policy.

Abstract:

This thesis is about how the use of the Internet in distance education has both intended and unintended consequences for people and places in a developing country. The main perspective is the relation between students, educators and the Internet, and how these relations are embedded in the material and social features of the place where the technology is used. Empirically, the research builds on a qualitative case study of distance education in Indonesia and focuses on Universitas Terbuka, one of the world’s largest educational institutions, and students participating in three different Internet supported distance master’s programmes offered by this university. Together with an introduction (Part 1), the thesis consists of four papers (Part 2). The first paper discusses the importance of the symbolic and political powers of new technology when distance education is developed and spread. The main conclusion is that the symbolic dimension is important in order to realise such projects in the first place, and that concrete results are expected to become more evident in the long run. The second paper discusses how the Internet influences the flexibility of students living in remote areas. It is concluded that the Internet may reduce rather than enhance students’ flexibility in technologically less-advanced places. The third paper reveals how students in a mega-city opt for Internet-supported distance education due to short comings in conventional transportation systems, and how such education influences the social segregation of the city. The fourth and last paper compares the situation for urban students with those living in more remote areas from the perspective of the digital divide. The conclusion is reached that the Internet may be useful for remote areas despite the fact that positive results for students are limited. A main contribution of this thesis’ research on the Internet and distance education is that it demonstrates how access and the use of Internet for communication are deeply rooted in local practices. It is evident from this thesis that Internet communication in distance education is not merely something happening online between teachers and students, but is inherently related to social, political and material surroundings. What can be learned is that the Internet may help to overcome friction created by space. Nevertheless, people using the technology are always located in some place, and this place matters for the results from Internet-supported distance education. This thesis therefore suggests that development of Internet-supported distance education should show great awareness of local conditions at the places were such programmes are located.

Abstract:

The Internet increasingly influences how we communicate with one another, conduct business, and educate our children. Our ability to connect to the Internet therefore becomes an integral part of our participating in and contributing to society. In this paper I examine equitable access to the telecommunications infrastructure that increasingly is used to transfer information around the country and the world. I focus my discussion on statewide networks and advanced Internet connectivity for publicly funded institutions of higher education. Using an informational questionnaire of all fifty United States and case studies of Mississippi and Washington, I investigate the role of state government in developing statewide networks that equitably serve public education. My findings indicate that more than any other source state government plays a critical role in financing the creation of statewide networks. They also show that the involvement of state government promotes equitable access to advanced networking but typically addresses this issue in terms of geographic location or socioeconomic status, rather than race. My research confirms that the more formalized the government's administrative structure for managing information technology, the more likely it is to fund the establishment of a statewide network. I also find that the presence of high technology corporations positively influences the development of a statewide network not so much because of the active involvement of industry but because the state government will act more entrepreneurially in constructing telecommunications infrastructure to promote industrial investment and economic growth.

Abstract:

This thesis reports the findings of a study of the influence of the classroom learning environment on students cognitive and affective outcomes among 2,498 third-year computing students in 50 university-level classes in Indonesia. Students perceptions of the classroom environment were measured using a modified Indonesian version of the What Is Happening In This Class? (WIHIC) questionnaire. To assess students affective outcomes, a scale derived from the Test of Science Related Attitudes was adapted for use in higher education computing classes and translated into Indonesian. Students' final scores in their mathematics course (either linear algebra or statistics) were used as a measure of cognitive achievement. Secondary aims of the present study were to examine whether differences exist between (a) students perceptions of the actual and preferred classroom learning environment, (b) the perceptions of male and female of the actual and preferred classroom environment and (c) students' perceptions of the actual learning environment in linear algebra and statistics courses. The results of this study make important contributions towards explaining why Indonesian students are achieving at less than desirable levels in their computing courses.

Abstract:

The purpose of this qualitative study was to gain a better understanding of the expectations and experiences of traditional-aged undergraduates as they interacted through portable internet devices (PID) at their institution of higher education (IHE). A Basic interpretive qualitative design was used for this study (Merriam & Associates, 2002; Merriam, 2009). One-on-one interviews were utilized to gather data from 22 students. Interviews were conducted with students from a single institution who lived on campus and owned at least one PID. The data was analyzed using an open thematic analysis (Merriam, 2009) and was guided by Kuh’s (1993) theory of student engagement.

Six major findings were identified. First, there has been an emergence of a new digital divide due to the proliferation of these devices. Second, it is important to consider the context of a student’s interactions when trying to engage through PIDs. Third, students have high expectations of their IHE student life and personnel when interacting via PIDs. Fourth, for students, there is continuity of interactions that occur with peers, faculty, staff, and external communities. Fifth, students are conditioned to, and, in fact, expect greater flexibility in planning efforts due to PID use. Lastly, PIDs have enabled a new form of accountability for students, allowing them to set and meet goals.

Observations from the study led to seven primary recommendations for practitioners. These recommendations focused on policies and practices IHE personnel can employ to foster engagement most effectively in their students. The implications for practice included that IHE personnel need to: (a) assess how students use PIDS to interact at the IHE, (b) make prudent decisions about communication efforts through PIDs to maximize return on investment, (c) assess continuously in-person situations to ensure maximum engagement from students, (d) provide PIDs to students upon arrival, (e) enhance communication efforts with parents and external communities, (f) integrate accountability and expectation functions on to institutional apps, and (g) develop strategic and tactical plans for engagement through PIDs. Results of the study provided insight into the unique blending of both the physical and virtual worlds of traditional-aged undergraduates through their use of PIDs.

The objective of the present research was to investigate the use of the internet as a research tool by college students. For fundamental theory, we turned to the ideas of Paulo Freire concerning the dialogical character of education and authors like José Manuel Moran that have the same outlook that study the educational implications of the internet for the construction of collaborative and egalitarian learning cultures. As for methodology, it was of qualitative nature and had the data collection done by means of semi-structured interviews done in 2007 with the students studying the 4th module of the course of Technology in Marketing at a Higher Learning Institution in the north of Parana. The analysis had as focus the verbalization from the students regarding the following: access to computers, the ways of using the Internet and its use for academic procedures, and operating sites for school research, the individual interest in researching the Internet and the issues the students had researched on the net. As a result, it was found that students provide more attention to the networking of sites Orkut and MSN. Under the context of teaching-learning-study, the use of the internet limits the research of content of work proposed by professors, it appears as a replacement of traditional encyclopedia. From this analysis it is important to point out that both professors and students still suffer in need of a better understanding of the potential of the internet as a tool for collaborative learning.
A presente pesquisa teve como objeto de investigação a utilização da internet como instrumental de estudo por parte de alunos do ensino superior. Para a fundamentação teórica recorreu-se ao pensamento de Paulo Freire a respeito do caráter dialógico da educação e a autores que, com esse mesmo olhar, estudam implicações educativas da internet para a construção de culturas de aprendizagem colaborativas e igualitárias, entre eles José Manuel Moran. Quanto à metodologia, foi de natureza qualitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada, no ano de 2007, com os alunos do 4° módulo do curso de Tecnologia em Marketing, de uma IES privada do norte do Paraná. A análise tomou como foco a verbalização dos alunos referente: ao acesso a computadores; às formas de utilização da Internet e seu uso para procedimentos acadêmicos; os sites explorados para pesquisas escolares; o interesse individual em pesquisar pela Internet e os assuntos os alunos já haviam pesquisado na rede. Como resultados, verificou-se que os alunos dispensam maior atenção aos sites de relacionamento Orkut e MSN. No contexto de ensino-estudo-aprendizagem, o uso da Internet se limita a busca de conteúdos para trabalhos propostos por professores e aparece como substituta da clássica enciclopédia. Em decorrência desta analise, é importante ressaltar que tanto o aluno quanto o professor ainda se ressentem de uma melhor compreensão das potencialidades da Internet como ferramenta de colaboração cognitiva.

Full text

Abstract:

Universitas Terbuka (UT), the Indonesia Open University and the 45^th state university in the country, is the only one that uses distance learning as its sole mode of delivery and instruction. Although UT has operated for 28 years, unlike face-to-face classroom-based education, distance education has not been considered as a fully legitimate delivery system in Indonesia. In the mindset of the people of Indonesia, "education" necessarily implies a conventional classroom environment; and, as a consequence, the relatively new format of distance learning does not register as "real education." Yet under the pressure of increased demand for higher education, the participation in distance learning programs at UT has been rapidly growing.

However, that popularity also poses a problem. Indonesian students have difficulty with distance formats given lack of familiarity with the requirements of independent study and a low level of current aptitude for reading on their own. UT has therefore developed tutorial programs to assist distance learning students with overcoming the problem and reviewing their material. Most are offered face-to-face but are only accessible to the minority of students living near centers where such instruction can be delivered. With the spread of internet access in the country, online tutoring programs have been established but have been little evaluated. This study was devoted to assessing the quality of implementation and effectiveness of online course tutoring for Bachelor's degree distance learning students enrolled in UT.

Results indicate that despite difficulties of administration, the program is relatively well implemented and in the majority of classes, online tutorial participants score better than classmates who do not participate in the tutorial on final exams. Overall, therefore, the online tutorial program appears to be performing a real service but to be in need of better specification, some modification of methods and closer quality control. A number of recommendations for greater effectiveness and better service to UT students are offered in the last section of the text.

Abstract:

This research is a case study of the way students at a Further Education College are making use of computer technology, in particular their use of the Internet, both at home and at college. The research used a multi-method approach that involved the collection of data by use of questionnaire and interviews. The questionnaire was completed by two hundred students drawn from a range of courses offered at the college. The students invited to complete the questionnaire represented both full time and part time students. From the students who completed the questionnaire twenty were invited to take part in individual interviews. From the data collected the researcher has been able to establish a link between a student's cultural background and their use of computers and the Internet. The researcher has been able to gather data to support the theory that for students from some cultural backgrounds there is a likelihood that they will use Infonnation Technology for certain tasks more than students with a different cultural background. As a means of identifying groups of students who could be described as having the same cultural background the data gathered was analysed by comparing students by gender, ethnic group and religion. This research has shown that the use of computers and the Internet has become part of everyday life and as such part of our society's culture. However the research has shown that different cultural groups within our society are using the Internet in different ways and for different purposes. The data showed that male students had a more positive attitude towards computers than female students; it was also found that male students made more use of email at college than female students. The researcher has found two significant differences regarding students' use of the Internet, namely that males use the Internet more than females for entertainment and that students from a Pakistani ethnic origin use the Internet more than white students for private use. Students from Pakistani ethnic origins were also found to use email at home more than students from other ethnic backgrounds. Part of the questionnaire was used as a student self-assessment of Infonnation Technology (IT) skills and the training they had received. Analysis of this section of data showed that whilst the amount of training of students in the use of IT is independent of gender, religion and ethnicity the level of skills claimed was not. Male students claimed a higher level of IT skills than female students and the level of skill in IT claimed by Christians is significantly less than that claimed by both Muslims and those of no religion. The questionnaire results led the researcher to believe that students from different cultural backgrounds were using computers and the Internet differently. The interviews were used to probe the implications of these differences with students from particular ethnic groups. The results showed that, at the college where the study took place there were Muslim Pakistani females students who were using the Internet as their main means of social interaction, when not at college. For these students this level of social interaction would not have been available to them they did not have access to the Internet. These students were making extensive use of chat rooms on the Internet. They prearranged to talk on line to people they knew, and they did this on a regular basis. This is in contrast to female students from other cultural groups who did not use chat rooms to the same extent, and when they did it was to talk to people they did not know. The research also found that some computer use was independent of a student's cultural background. One such area related to students having difficulties or problems when using the Internet. From the students interviewed the researcher believes that for many of the students the instruction they are receiving, particularly with reference to using the Internet, is inadequate to meet their needs. In addition to the lack of IT training, some students saw the monitoring of computer use as problematic. Parental monitoring students' use of computers at home was mainly done by having the home computer located in a family room. Few of the students said that content monitoring software was being used on these machines. All students accepted this monitoring within the home environment but many were unhappy with the monitoring arrangements that the college had put in place. This research project has shown that it is not sufficient for future education researchers to investigate computer use in terms of type of use alone, as has been the case in many previous studies. This research has shown that how students choose to use computers needs to be interpreted in terms of their gender and cultural background.

Full text

Abstract:

This qualitative study explored the experiences of African American collegiate women during a service learning program to the non-traditional study abroad location of Indonesia. The Integrated Model of College Choice, Human Capital Theory, and Experiential Learning Theory formulated the conceptual model and theoretical framework undergirding this research endeavor. The literature review comprised a discussion of non-traditional study abroad locations, study abroad trends of underrepresented groups, navigation of the study abroad decision process, and service learning as a study abroad option. Four research questions explored participants’ descriptions of the experience, social and cultural challenges encountered, changes and learning outcomes achieved, and recommendations for improvement. The findings from individual interviews, a focus group, and a document review yielded four emergent themes, including the development of transnational competence, personal growth and transformation, service learning programmatic considerations, and diversity perspectives.

Conclusions of this study indicated that transnational competence was developed by interacting and communicating through a language barrier and gaining exposure to different social and cultural norms, living conditions, religious beliefs, and educational system. Adaptability, flexibility, empathy, respect, and appreciation were achieved learning outcomes and contributed to the development of a global skill set helping students navigate cross-cultural dynamics.

Students’ articulation of preparedness, a broadened worldview, and the desire for future international endeavors demonstrated that a short-term service learning study abroad opportunity yielded transnational competence. Students’ experiences of diversity abroad highlighted the relative absence of African American collegiate women from the study abroad landscape in a non-traditional location. The higher education apparatus has a role in reversing the trend of low African American college student participation in study abroad by addressing programmatic considerations, including the provision of more information, improved program planning, and the availability of financing. Creating an institutional culture in which international education is a strategic priority, expectation, and norm can develop students’ transnational competence and positions African American students more competitively for academic and professional success in a globalized world.

Full text

Abstract:

By 2007, one half of higher education students are expected to enroll in distributed learning courses. Higher education institutions need to attract students searching the Internet for courses and need to provide students with enough information to select courses. Internet resource discovery tools are readily available, however, users have difficulty selecting relevant resources. In part this is due to the lack of a standard for representation of Internet resources. An emerging solution is metadata. In the educational domain, the IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee (LTSC) has specified a Learning Object Metadata (LOM) standard. This exploratory study (a) determined criteria students think are important for selecting higher education courses, (b) discovered relationships between these criteria and students' demographic characteristics, educational status, and Internet experience, and (c) evaluated these criteria vis-à-vis the IEEE LTSC LOM standard. Web-based questionnaires (N=209) measured (a) the criteria students think are important in the selection of higher education courses and (b) three factors that might influence students' selections. Respondents were principally female (66%), employed full time (57%), and located in the U.S. (89%). The chi square goodness-of-fit test determined 40 criteria students think are important and exploratory factor analysis determined five common factors among the top 21 criteria, three evaluative factors and two descriptive. Results indicated evaluation criteria are very important in course selection. Spearman correlation coefficients and chi-square tests of independence determined the relationships between the importance of selection criteria and demographic characteristics, educational status, and Internet experience. Four profiles emerged representing groups of students with unique concerns. Side by side analysis determined if the IEEE LTSC LOM standard included the criteria of importance to students. The IEEE LOM by itself is not enough to meet students course selection needs. Recommendations include development of a metadata standard for course evaluation and accommodation of group differences in information retrieval systems.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis reports on two action research cycles conducted in the English Department of the Higher Language Institute at Tishreen University, Syria. With the problem of global coursebooks that are pre-determined for learners, the aim of this action research was to use supplementary internet materials that could better meet learners‘ personal needs and interests in the context. In the first cycle, the plan was to get learners live access internet materials within the Tishreen Higher Language Institute. However, technical problems were experienced. They necessitated developing appropriate internet methodology for using internet materials in the context. In the second cycle, the internet was accessed via outside computers to bring supplementary materials to the language classroom. Both the appropriateness and the effectiveness of using supplementary internet materials were investigated. Qualitative methods of data collection and analysis were used. The action research process of developing context-appropriate methodology was found to be supportive of learners‘ engagement. Using internet materials appropriately created the conditions for learners‘ behavioural, cognitive, affective, and social engagement with internet materials.

Full text

Abstract:

Internet-based distance education (IDE) continues to grow in popularity and ubiquity. Acceptance of IDE among Christian higher education institutions has also increased. However, these institutions seek assistance. Such was the case with the nineteen institutions endorsed by the Assemblies of God (AG). The AG's oversight organization (The Alliance for Assemblies of God Higher Education, Alliance) was asked by member institutions for IDE aid, resources, and direction. To understand the current environment of IDE within AG higher education, an organizational discovery case study reviewed the historical IDE trends within AG higher education, surveyed institutional faculty members and administrators as to their IDE beliefs and situations, and analyzed the data collected. From the research findings, the Alliance gained a better understanding of the needs and intentions of its member institutions. It also realized the aid and resources to offer its endorsed institutions, what endorsement requirements were needed for spiritual development in an online distance education setting, and an overall IDE direction that the organization could provide or facilitate. To aid the organizational discovery, a research framework was created that the Alliance could reuse and share with similar organizations for their own internal discovery.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the implementation of academic servant leadership in a faith-based university in Indonesia. The exploration includes the academic leaders’ understanding on the concept and practise of servant leadership. Their perceptions are analysed in order to construct the theory of academic servant leadership in the HE sector. The case study method was chosen as the methodology since it is able to explain the academic servant leadership phenomena from the leaders’ perspective in their context. Data was collected from thirty higher education leaders who participated in a semi-structured interview. The analysis shows that servant leadership is driven by three motives: service, influence and improvement. The motives for servant leadership influence their characteristics which consist of spiritual, intrapersonal and relational characteristics. These concentric characteristics are then manifested into five servant leadership actions namely ‘pergumulan’, individual meetings, institutional meetings, dealing with conflicts and fostering collaborations. The researcher argues that academic servant leaders need to have a pure motive and strong character in order to enact their servant leadership. The manifestation of their characters into actions cannot be separated from three contextual matters at the case campus, namely hierarchical academic leadership, organisational changes and external challenges and opportunities.

Full text

Abstract:

This study is designed to answer one main research question: How could tertiary education quality be redefined and measured through the education production function model in developing countries. The study will use Indonesia as the target country to carry out research activities. Quality of tertiary education has been one of the most frequently discussed topics in relevant fields in academia and human development. As enrollment continuously increases and education systems expand in many developing countries, quality becomes their biggest concern. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide stakeholders a different and more practical approach to reevaluate tertiary education quality through quantifiable variables and to measure quality through educational input, equity and equality, labor market relevance, and system assurance factors.

Human capital theory serves as the guiding theoretical framework for this dissertation. The education production function model is the foundation for quality redefinition. Within the four quantifiable variables, benefit incidence analysis is used to measure equity and equality, economic rate of return is used to measure labor market relevance of the tertiary education system, and returns to investment is used to evaluate how education outputs yield from inputs. The study is designed to have an umbrella structure, with tertiary education quality being at the top of the skeleton and educational input, equity and equality, labor market relevance, and system assurance being the four supporting pillars.

With the redefinition of tertiary education quality, four main research questions will be answered respectively. Educational input in Indonesia has been improving in the past decade; however, it is still behind compared to peer ASEAN countries and countries with similar economic profiles. Indonesia's tertiary education access inequality is mainly caused by socioeconomic differences. The labor market absorbs a majority of tertiary graduates and yields much higher returns at the tertiary level, and it has been responding very positively toward the continuously expanding graduating class. The quality assurance system suffers from shortstaffing, low financial support, low capacity, and weak government support. At its current accrediting pace, Indonesia's tertiary education institutions will not be able to improve as fast as they are willing to.

Abstract:

In recent years higher education institutions have come under increasing financial pressure. This has not only prompted universities to investigate more cost effective means of delivering course content and maintaining research output, but also to investigate the administrative functions that accompany them. As such, many South African universities have either adopted or are in the process of adopting some form of cloud computing given the recent drop in bandwidth costs. However, this adoption process has raised concerns about the security of cloud-based information and this has, in some cases, had a negative impact on the adoption process. In an effort to study these concerns many researchers have employed a positivist approach with little, if any, focus on the operational context of these universities. Moreover, there has been very little research, specifically within the South African context. This study addresses some of these concerns by investigating the threats and security incident response life cycle within a higher education cloud. This was done by initially conducting a small scale survey and a detailed thematic analysis of twelve interviews from three South African universities. The identified themes and their corresponding analyses and interpretation contribute on both a practical and theoretical level with the practical contributions relating to a set of security driven criteria for selecting cloud providers as well as recommendations for universities who have or are in the process of adopting cloud computing. Theoretically several conceptual frameworks are offered allowing the researcher to convey his understanding of how the aforementioned practical concepts relate to each other as well as the concepts that constitute the research questions of this study.

Abstract:

As the competition increase in the Higher Education industry, marketing departments of Higher Education Institutions view students as consumers and market their institutions. At the mean time, universities around the world encourage their international offices to increase the foreign student enrollments. This research investigates the factors influencing international students’ choice of enrolling at Higher Educational Institutions (HEI) via the internet: international students’ Internet use to facilitate information search and decision making. This survey of international students from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) explored the Internet’s role in marketing international education. Based on this exploratory research, NMMU educational institutions gain insights of online customer service for successfully recruiting students. The results show that prospective overseas students do indeed use the internet. Overall evaluation of the factors influencing the use of the internet for enrolling at HEIs was determined by four factors: namely, perceived usefulness, consumer involvement, perceived ease of use and opinion leadership.

Abstract:

This thesis reports the findings of a study of the influence of the classroom learning environment on students cognitive and affective outcomes among 2,498 third-year computing students in 50 university-level classes in Indonesia. Students perceptions of the classroom environment were measured using a modified Indonesian version of the What Is Happening In This Class? (WIHIC) questionnaire. To assess students affective outcomes, a scale derived from the Test of Science Related Attitudes was adapted for use in higher education computing classes and translated into Indonesian. Students' final scores in their mathematics course (either linear algebra or statistics) were used as a measure of cognitive achievement. Secondary aims of the present study were to examine whether differences exist between (a) students perceptions of the actual and preferred classroom learning environment, (b) the perceptions of male and female of the actual and preferred classroom environment and (c) students' perceptions of the actual learning environment in linear algebra and statistics courses. The results of this study make important contributions towards explaining why Indonesian students are achieving at less than desirable levels in their computing courses.

Full text

Abstract:

Although much has been written about learning in online discussion, the research literature reveals the need for further empirical research to be carried out. For example, the use of online discussion is often seen as a means by which students can engage in a socially constructivist approach to learning, (Pena-Shaff et al., 2005; Hudson et al., 2006; Schrire, 2006) whilst others raise questions about the depth of engagement and the preparedness to learn in this socially constructivist context (Hawkey, 2003; Roberts and Lund, 2007). The need to gain further understanding of learning through discussion is raised by Ravenscroft (2005); McConnell (2006); Goodyear and Ellis (2008). This study adds to empirical research by exploring students’ engagement with online discussion at an individual and course level. Two key research questions are: What are the different approaches taken by students when responding to learning activities which ask them to engage in online discussion? What are students’ perceptions of how their engagement in online discussion impacts on their learning and the learning of others? The study is qualitative, phenomenographic in nature drawing on six case studies of Higher Education students’ engagement with online discussion. A rich set of empirical data is gathered within the case studies. A grounded approach to data collection and analysis is used, including the analysis of interview data in order to hear the students’ voices about their experiences. The findings from the analysis of the case studies reveal different strategies that students use when engaging in online discussion, and diverse students’ views of learning through online discussion, even from within the same course context. A framework for learning through online discussion emerges from the discussion.

Abstract:

Blended learning, involves the combination of two fields of concern: technology and education; or two groups of people: technologists and educationists. However, current literature shows less consideration on the potential disciplinary gap in the blended learning experience, as a result there is a paucity of evidence from cross-country/institutional/disciplinary investigations. This study aimed to explore, analyse and compare the blended learning experience in higher education. The research is reflected in 3 questions: (1) What are the current blended learning experiences in the selected higher educational institutions? (2) How such experience varies in different disciplines? (3) What are the reflections on the comparative experiences in (1) and (2)? The qualitative case study with comparative methods was used to obtain in-depth findings for these research questions. I visited 4 universities in two countries and sampled 51 research participants’ voices from contrasting disciplines. With these voices, I thoroughly discussed individual case studies, followed by a cross-case and cross-discipline comparison. These findings enabled insights to be drawn on a major argument: blended learning did enable and enhance learning experiences in all case studies but disciplinary differences remain a major challenge. The analysis shows that academics from science-based disciplines have an advantage at the instrumental level of technological usage without transforming learning experience; social science-based academics, due to their disciplinary nature, have embedded technology in wider trans-technical aspects that would enhance and transform learning and teaching. In the context of blended learning, I would argue that learning has not been enhanced (1) if the technology is the sole focus; (2) if the research effort of “technology enhanced learning” does not gain ground in educational theories and (3) does not recognise the disciplinary differences. Arising out of these findings, I proposed a blended learning model that indicates the boundary of the current literature and research findings, and a blended learning definition - an educational-focused process to enhance and transform f2f learning with the blend of technology in a symbiotic relationship. It is necessary for educationists and technologists to establish such a symbiotic relationship and the inter-disciplinary integration and discourse, that may impact on the individuals’ practice beyond their own disciplinary territory.

Abstract:

This study explores how to integrate faculty-initiated Internet-facilitated international academic partnerships into their local university environments. Recently some faculty have begun initiating international partnership activities which carryout their university's research, teaching, and service missions. These partnerships (including courses, projects, or entire programs) are considered by their initiators to benefit both faculty and student development. Faculty see the Internet as enabling them to construct interactive and collaborative virtual forums where disperse student and faculty bodies can co-engage in exciting international research, teaching, and learning opportunities. This study aims to encourage the development of Internet-facilitated international academic partnerships so that more faculty in all disciplines are supported by their local institutions to better integrate their partnerships. Presently, partnerships are not well integrated. Impart this is because the Internet as a communication tool is relatively new phenomenon. However, it is also due to the tendency for faculty level partnerships to be overlooked by higher levels of university administration. As a result, the value of Internet partnerships has not yet been explored in relation to their local institutional missions. This study therefore consults faculty with experience partnering online in order to garner faculty insights pertaining to partnership integration. The results help to determine (1) core characteristics of these faculty-level partnerships (2) faculty motivations for initiating them (3) university environments implicated by integration and (4) identify faculty support and development opportunities appropriate to support integration.

Full text

Abstract:

Recent government policies about the curriculum and the needs of stakeholders for qualified graduates have provided arguments for physics pre-service teacher education programmes in Indonesia to be evaluated. These arguments have increased due to the rapid changes in local, national, and international dynamics.The purpose of this research was to evaluate by means of a case study the physics education curriculum for pre-service teachers by examining five levels of curriculum representation (the ideal, the formal/written, the perceived, the operational, and the experiential curriculum) in one Indonesian higher education institution. This case study involved (1) collecting and analysing information from government and institution documents, (2) developing and administrating surveys to assess the pre-service teachers’ and graduates’ as well as their lecturers’ perceptions of the physics education curriculum, (3) observations of teaching and learning in three different subjects, (4) oneon- one interviews with three physics lecturers, and (5) five focus group interviews with the pre-service teachers and graduates.Within this case study, the research design that was developed to answer the four research questions was a mixed method convergent parallel design for collecting and analysing quantitative and qualitative data. In this design, the researcher implemented the quantitative and qualitative methods during the same timeframe and with equal weight. While the quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analysed separately, the two sets of results were merged using strategies so that those could be interpreted together.The Indonesian government has provided generic guidelines for the ideal curriculum that is appropriate for physics pre-service teacher programmes as well as other programmes in all higher education institutions throughout Indonesia. In other words, the guidelines are expressed in very general and flexible terminologies. Therefore, by rewording them, every higher education institution can use the guidelines. However, the analyses associated with the formal/written curriculum suggest that the number of subjects and credits in the curriculum should be reduced because the curriculum was overloaded and the syllabi were overcrowded. Focus group interviews showed that several students had difficulties learning physics because some subjects in physics consisted of many theories and complex concepts. Additionally, they would like more physics content that is related to their future work as secondary school physics teachers rather than be required to study difficult physics theories.The actual process of teaching and learning in three subjects (General Physics I, Mechanics, and Laboratory Management) was observed with the focus on the content, the learning activities and lecturer’s role, the teaching resources and facilities, and the assessment. The observations, questionnaire, and interview results indicated that the lecturers provided assistance to students to learn, for example, by providing notes, examples, handouts, and library references. However, not many lecturers demonstrated enough interaction and recognition of their students' level of understanding. The lecturers’ approaches to teaching seemed to be content-centred rather than learnercentred. On the other hand, only a few pre-service teachers showed enthusiasm or were engaged in the teaching and learning process. In general, the pre-service teachers had surface approaches to learning physics. Nevertheless, lecturers, pre-service teachers as well as graduates were in agreement with the aims and objectives of the physics education curriculum.The results of this research make a distinct contribution to improve the curriculum within the field of secondary physics teacher education, which are summarised as basic assertions. In brief, the number of subjects and credits in the curriculum should be reduced; the curriculum should be more related to the pre-service teachers’ future jobs and the needs of stakeholders; the lecturers should use the physics methods that address the individuality of the pre-service teachers; and the resources, facilities and number of lecturers should be increased. These assertions have implications for the lecturers or physics teacher educators, curriculum developers, decision makers of higher education institution and future physics pre-service teachers.

A Web 2.0 é o termo geralmente usado para descrever a chamada segunda geração da World Wide Web e está intimamente relacionado com o fenómeno da interacção e partilha de informação online (Barsky & Purdon, 2006). Com a evolução das tecnologias e da Web 2.0 começaram a haver mudanças no comportamento dos consumidores e na sua adopção a estas novas tecnologias tais como redes sociais, foruns, wikis, blogs, entre outros, tendo a Internet como base. Isto é importante, pois permite ás empresas juntar os seus dados sociais, ás informações já existentes nos seus sistemas de CRM, a isto chama-se CRM Social. Define-se como uma filosofia e uma estratégia de negócio, suportada por uma plataforma tecnológica, regras de negócio e caracteristicas sociais, desenhada de forma a empreender conversas colaborativas com os seus clientes (Greenberg, 2010). Neste estudo discute-se a adopção de uma instituição de ensino superior ao CRM Social. Para desenvolver este estudo foi efectuado um método de case study para perceber quais os grandes objectivos inerentes à sua adopção, e se estão de acordo com o estudado por (Greenberg, 2010).

It is defined as a philosophy and a business strategy, supported by technology platform, business rules, processes and social characteristics, designed to engage customers in collaborative conversations (Greenberg, 2010). This study discusses the adoption of a higher education institution to Social CRM. To develop this study, a case study method was adopted to investigate what were the main objectives behind this adoption and if they are aligned with the definitions studied by (Greenberg, 2010).

Abstract:

Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology,2012.
Learning management systems (LMSs) have become the central aspects of educational processes in modern universities. Arguments are that LMSs improve educational efficiencies including the processes of storage, retrieval and exchange of content without distance, space and time constraints. A trusted platform without undue intrusions however, determines the extent to which these benefits can be realized in higher education (HE) spaces. The underlying assumption in this thesis therefore, is that e-Learning systems would lose its value and integrity when the security aspects are ignored. Despite this logic, an overwhelming evidence security omissions and disruptions continue to threaten e-Learning processes at CPUT, with a risk of the actual usage of LMS in the institution. For this reason, this study sought to investigate the extent as well as causes of existing security threats, security awareness programmes and the in/effectiveness of security measures within CPUT. Within the qualitative interpretive research framework, the purposive sampling method was used to select participants. Semi-structured interviews were then used to collect primary data from administrators, technicians, academics and students in the IT and the Public Relations departments at CPUT. The activity theory (AT) was then used as the lens to understand the security aspect in e-Learning systems in the CPUT. From this theory, an analytical framework was developed. It presents holistic view of the security environment of e- Learning as an activity system composed of actors (stakeholders), educational goals, rules (in the form of policies, guidelines and procedures), activities, mediating factors, transformation, and outcomes. The tension between these components accounts for failures in e-Learning security practices, and ultimately in the e-Learning processes. Whilst security measures exist on the e-Learning platform, findings show a combination of the tools, processes and awareness measures to be inadequate and therefore inhibiting. Poor adherence to security guidelines in particular, is a major shortfall in this institution. To this end, a continuous review of network policy, clear and consolidated communication between stakeholders as well as emphasis on the enforcement of security compliance by users across all departments is therefore recommended. Frequent security awareness and training programmes for all LMS users must also be prioritized in this institution.
