The success of any degree program being delivered by higher education institutions is measured using the employment performance of its graduates as they navigate the dynamic labor market after completion of their studies. The tool used to gauge this metric is known as a graduate tracer study. Thus, this explanatory sequential mixed methods study may provide the graduate school the baseline employment information, the extent of practice of program competencies and demonstration of graduate attributes of business management major graduates spanning the years 2017-2021 and their level of satisfaction with the graduate programs. The results revealed that outcomes were achieved by the graduates as the graduate degree contributes to their development of competencies and these graduates were extremely satisfied with the delivery and implementation of the programs. They also demonstrated the attributes in their workplace. The results of the study are consistent with the emerging framework of the quality delivery of business graduate programs. It upholds that the satisfaction of the graduates in the delivery, and instruction of the programs, will result in the development of competencies, unlocking of knowledge, skills, and abilities and improve the social and economic status of the graduates.

The current study was designed to identity if and to what extent differences in motivation exist between high school students, for whom school is mandatory, and undergraduate students in tertiary institutions, who make an active choice to study in an academic institution. This study also explores whether and to what extent motivation affects the achievements of these two groups of learners, and whether motivation is related to their personal, family, and socio-economic background and gender. To examine these questions, 121 participants responded to a 22-item questionnaire on motivation for learning. Findings show that undergraduate students are more highly motivated for learning compared to high school students. Associations were found between learners’ personal and academic background and their motivation: Motivation increases with age and as grade average increases. A significant difference was, however, found in motivation levels between learners with average socio-economic status and learners with above-average socio-economic status. No gender effects in learners’ motivation were found. Findings of the study shed light on the significant of motivation in high school, which is a significant period in youngsters’ lives. High school is a scholastic space that also has the potential to strengthen motivation for learning in the future, in academic studies, as both education systems – high school and academic education – affect each other.

This paper presents the conceptual framework, value chain model and the system architecture of intelligent student relationship management based on cognitive technology with conversational agent for enhancing student’s loyalty in higher education. The purposes were to synthesize the conceptual framework and apply it to develop the value chain model and the system architecture of intelligent student relationship management based on cognitive technology with conversational agent for enhancing student’s loyalty in higher education and assess the developed value chain model and system architecture. The questionnaire was employed as the instrument to assess and certify the value chain model and the system architecture by the experts. The 5 point-Likert scale was used to identify the level of agreement of the value chain model and system architecture certification assessment. The instrument was verified by five experts using content validity index (CVI). After that, the value chain model and the system architecture were verified based on the consensus assessments of seventeen experts using mean, standard deviation (S.D.), median, interquartile range and quartile deviation. The results revealed that the experts had a consensus on the value chain model developed based on the conceptual framework (Mean = 4.89, S.D. = 0.27, Median = 5, Interquartile Range: I.R. = 0.00, Quartile Deviation: Q.D. = 0.00). They also had a consensus to approve the system architecture developed based on the value chain model (Mean = 4.70, S.D. = 0.55, Median = 5, Interquartile Range: I.R. = 1.00, Quartile Deviation: Q.D. = 0.50).

The research aims to determine whether secondary school students’ digital literacy and problem-solving skills predict 21st-century skills. It is a correlational survey study. The population of the research is the students studying in secondary schools in formal education institutions in Elazig. The sample of the research is 490 secondary school students determined by the disproportionate cluster sampling method. Data collection tools in the research are demographic information form, digital literacy scale, problem-solving inventory for primary school children, and 21st-century skill scale. The research makes use of parametric tests for the analysis of the data as the data fulfill the normal distribution condition. The results show that while the digital literacy and 21st-century skill levels of secondary school students are not very high, their problem-solving skills are high. The results also show that the problem-solving and 21st-century skill levels of secondary school students differ significantly by gender, and mother and father’s education level while there is no significant difference between secondary school students’ digital literacy levels by their father’s education level. The results of the research also show that there is a positive and moderately significant relationship between the problem-solving skills of secondary school students and their digital literacy levels. The results also indicate that there is a significant relationship between the communication sub-dimension of secondary school students’ 21st-century skills and digital literacy levels, and between the “confidence in problem-solving skills” and “avoidance” sub-dimensions of problem-solving skills. While the significant relationships identified are negative in the avoidance sub-dimension, they are positive in other dimensions. The results show that digital literacy and problem-solving skills do not significantly predict secondary school students’ 21st-century skill levels. However, secondary school students’ 21st-century skill and problem-solving skill levels significantly predict their digital literacy level.

Various studies were conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic on teachers’ experiences and feelings during the abrupt shift to remote learning; however, the prolonged effects of the pandemic on teachers in Israel have not been examined. The present study was conducted towards the end of the pandemic, during the last (and, so far, final) wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in Israel. This wave was characterized by the resumption of in-person classroom teaching or hybrid teaching and refraining from imposing lockdowns. For this study, interviews were conducted with 58 elementary school teachers. Analysis of the interviews reveals a profound rupture in the teachers’ sense of efficacy, stemming from numerous changes, an upsurge in emotional and social problems among children, and teachers’ skills being only partially suited to the situation. As stated by the teachers, it seems that role frustration and a rising tendency to leave the education system express the need for long-term change in the teaching profession. An analysis of findings is provided from the perspective of theories of organizational engagement and employee competence. Recommendations are proposed concerning teachers’ future professional development processes.

Distance and online education have required instructors to acquire new skills and competencies for language teaching. This research aimed to determine online Turkish language instructor competencies. It comprised two stages in which Fuzzy Delphi and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods were used. In the first stage, 52 competencies under seven categories were compiled from the literature by applying the Fuzzy Delphi technique. In the second stage, the AHP method was used to determine the significance and weight of the competencies. There were five competencies in the “technical” category, three in the “individual” category, six in the “management and planning” category, three in the “material” category, nine in the “communication” category, eight in the “learner autonomy” category, and four in the “privacy and security” category. The findings suggested that “communication” was essential competence, and that “pedagogical” competence was more critical than “technical” competence. Furthermore, it was revealed that the instructors did not regard “autonomy” as competence. It also can be inferred that the instructors’ “individual” competencies were not considered very important.

The article addresses diversity issues related to language, gender, and culture. Topics include fundamental areas of research essential to the discussion on language diversity in the context of education with respect to equity, poverty, stereotype threat, Pygmalion Effect, non-sexist language, and Matthews Effect. The discussion on diversity and equity creates a space to think about issues of access, opportunity, voice, and equal participation within society and educational settings. Diversity among humans requires thoughtful considerations, accommodations, and differentiations in educational treatment, yet providing equal opportunities for growth and learning for all.
