Many different factors are taken into account by students when choosing a degree and university. Some of these are general considerations, such as the quality of the degree course (ratio of available places/places in first choice, cut-off mark, etc.), while others are subjective factors (e.g., friends doing the same course). This paper presents a partial multivariate model that considers the weight of the different variables linked to this decision, as identified in the bibliography. We analyzed four samples of first-year students (totaln=1790) from different engineering degree courses at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic years. All the students involved in the study had chosen this university and their courses as their first option. The overall effect shows that the structural model adjusts reasonably well to the different engineering courses analyzed. Similarly, the individual models for each engineering degree manage to identify the different effects involved. In the case of the engineering degree based on new technologies (ICT), the statistical effects are much greater and more statistically significant than in the other three branches of engineering considered. Social and individual factors were seen to have more impact on the choice of ICT degrees at the UPV.

Design Experiments

This laboratory practical requires first-year students to anticipate the effects of drugs active at cholinergic and adrenergic receptors on gut motility in order to design experiments during an authentic inquiry exercise. Rather than specifying a strict sequence of drug additions that aim to provide ideal demonstrations of pharmacological and physiological antagonism, I have instead designed switches into the drugs provided and set students, working in small teams, the task of identifying the switched drugs, an inquiry activity. To extend the teamwork aspect, laboratory reports were submitted by the student teams rather than individual students. Staff observed that discussions within the teams were stimulated by the inquiry-led nature of the practical. The quality of the laboratory reports submitted by teams were substantially improved over the individual reports submitted in previous years. (Students previously worked in teams, but simply followed a list of prescribed experiments and wrote individual reports.) Although, in conversation, teams of students had an improved understanding of the regulation of gut motility by the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system and could readily distinguish between pharmacological and functional antagonism, no attempt was made to evaluate learning because the revision was triggered by the observed effect of a technical error and was not otherwise planned. It is likely that laboratory practicals, in general, would benefit from inclusion of inquiry.

The application of information systems with various types of convenience offered can reflect the quality of service of an organization, the quality of service can be said to be very good if the service meets the needs and expectations of users. This kind of evaluation can be done by applying a tested model but problems arise when latent variables in the method used are not fully able to identify factors that influence user satisfaction. From the results of research using the end user satisfaction model, the R-Square value is 0.653, which means that 65.3% of user satisfaction can be found through latent variables found in the EUCS model while the remaining 34.7% can be explained through external variables. This study aims to analyze external factors outside the EUCS model, one of which is by using the information system quality variables contained in the Delone and Mclane information system success model. The way to do this is to add an external variable to the EUCS model and then analyze the outer model and analyze the structural model using the structural equation model. The results showed that the independent system quality variable has a t-statistic value of 3.445 or greater than t-table 1.96 which means that the external latent variables of the Delone and Mclean model can be used to explain the satisfaction factors (from the external variable side) of the user information system on the EUCS model.

This research used the success model of information system from Delone and Mc. Lean which has been modified based on the need and the situation at STKIP Muhammadiyah Pringsewu. The respondents were the first year students in the academic year 2012-2013 and the operators of SIAKAD. The number of the respondents were 196 students and 10 operators. The process of validity and reliability and the hyphotesa used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Which is analysed using Amos 20 software.The result of this research showed that from 5 hyphotesis which have been formulated, four of them were received. These hypothesis are the following : the quality of information influence the satisfying of the user ; the quality of the system influence the satisfying of the user; the trust influence the satisfying of the user; and the satisfying of the user influence the benefits of the SIAKAD. On the other hard, the quality of the service doesn’t has significant influence to the satisfying of the SIAKAD user. The success factors, which were resulted in this research, will be used as the suggestion and recomendation in the next SIAKAD development so that the sevice quality of SIAKAD to the students will increase. Keywords: Information Systems Success, DeLone and McLean Model, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS).

The expansion of information communication technology (ICT) significantly influences organizations service delivering culture. The financial institutions, particularly the banking industry are one of the major sectors that invests large amount of capital for introducing new technologies. E-finance is one of the technology channels that bankers introduced to their customers to access financial services. Therefore, this study was aimed to study the effect of e-finance service quality on bank customers' fintech loyalty of using the e-finance services in future. Primary data was collected from 412 bank customers and it was analyzed using the structural equation model (SEM) through AMOS. The result revealed that both in normal operations of e-finance service and recovery services, the quality of service positively influences bank customers' satisfaction and their e-loyalty.

In the theoretical and empirical study it was shown that risk readiness is a personal quality of the optimal level of development that determines the effectiveness of pedagogical interaction, and is manifested in teachers (future teachers) whose activities correspond to the model of professional development. The optimal level of readiness for risk is associated with the individual psychological characteristics of students (future teachers): self-awareness, communicative competence, flexibility. The highest rates of risk readiness were found in first-year students, the lowest in graduate students. The level of readiness for risk among students (farmers of 1 to 4 year of study) has not changed. Specially developed training seminar is an effective tool for optimizing the level of risk preparedness.

The purpose of the present paper was to evaluate the effect of constraining near-zero parameter cross-loadings to zero in the measurement component of a structural equation model. A Monte Carlo 3 × 5 × 2 simulation design was conducted (i.e., sample sizes of 200, 600, and 1,000; parameter cross-loadings of 0.07, 0.10, 0.13, 0.16, and 0.19 misspecified to be zero; and parameter path coefficients in the structural model of either 0.50 or 0.70). Results indicated that factor pattern coefficients and factor covariances were overestimated in measurement models when near-zero parameter cross-loadings constrained to zero were higher than 0.13 in the population. Moreover, the path coefficients between factors were misestimated when the near-zero parameter cross-loadings constrained to zero were noteworthy. Our results add to the literature detailing the importance of testing individual model specification decisions, and not simply evaluating omnibus model fit statistics.
