<p>Several studies have demonstrated the impact that the quality of teacher education has on teaching and student performance. The assessment of the competences of higher education teachers by students is one way of assessing the quality of teachers and, therefore, the quality of public higher education itself. It is therefore pertinent to carry out empirical studies that make it possible to understand how students evaluate teachers' competences.</p><p>The objective of this study was to evaluate the competences of higher education teachers in the public university of East Timor, based on the students' opinion. Using a random sample of 342 students enrolled in four of the nine faculties of the National University of East Timor (UNTL), surveys were carried out to evaluate the pedagogical, professional, social and personality traits of teachers. The results showed a positive evaluation by the students, although the objectives of the National Strategic Plan for Education 2011-2030 (METL, 2011) have not yet been fully achieved.</p>

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dampak komersialisasi terhadap tata kelola pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia dan mengkaji strategi yang dapat digunakan oleh pendidikan tinggi dalam menghadapi dampak komersialisasi. Kajian ini menggunakan studi pustaka. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh komersialisasi pendidikan terhadap tata kelola pendidikan tinggi yakni dampak terhadap standar akademik, semangat kolegialitas dan kepercayaan di antara civitas akademika dan citra perguruan tinggi di mata publik. Strategi yang dapat dilakukan untuk pendidikan tinggi negeri antara lain mempertahankan mutu pendidikan dan menjaga pola akses masuk anak didik tetap pada jalur semestinya, dan mengusahakan bentuk-bentuk pengumpulan modal untuk membiayai pendidikan melalui jalur perbankan. Sedangkan untuk pendidikan tinggi swasta, strategi yang dapat dilakukan yakni melakukan koordinasi dengan Kopertis, meningkatkan mutu pendidikan melalui pengembangan kemampuan siswa dan melakukan efisiensi terhadap pengeluaran yang tidak prioritas untuk menekan terjadinya lonjakan biaya pendidikan.---This paper aims to examine the impact of commercialization on higher education governance in Indonesia and examine strategies that can be used by higher education to face the impact of commercialization. This study uses literature study. The results of the study indicate that there are three impacts caused by the commercialization of education on higher education governance i.e. the impact on academic standards, the spirit of collegiality and trust among the academic community and the image of universities in the public. Strategies that can be undertaken for public higher education, among others, maintain the quality of education and keep the pattern of access to students stay on the track, and seek forms of capital collection to finance education through the banking channel. While for private higher education, a strategy that can be done is to coordinate with Kopertis (Coordinator of Private Higher Education), improve the quality of education through the development of students' skills and efficiency of expenditures that are not a priority to reduce education costs.

Good service is expected to provide satisfaction for students. Of course in the long term, the impact of satisfaction that will form a good image for the college concerned anyway.STIE IBBI Medan is one of the private high school that has a good image in the city of Medan. However, STIE IBBI still have to further improve the quality of services provided to students. It is necessary to maintain the good image that has been owned STIE IBBI today.The plan of the research will be conducted in STIE IBBI Medan. The population is all students STIE IBBI.

The article is dedicated to study of the impact of the quality of education on the economic growth in Azerbaijan. The quality index of education has been selected for two levels: a) up to higher education; b) higher school and post higher school. The indicator of average score (if available) that an applicant obtained in the current year on the country in student admission to the higher schools as a quality index of education in the country at the pre-higher education is offered as an alternative to the number of upper grades (10-12) in the secondary education. In the higher and post-higher education level, the number of articles printed on basic science and engineering per million people in Azerbaijan, and indexed on the Web of Science is taken as a quality index of education. Semi-linear type regression equations were made to assess the dependence of the indicators characterizing economic development.

The systematic review of 23 most relevant research studies shows that the Pandemic has affected students� learning, mental, physical, social and economical conditions badly. Particularly, students who do not afford the use of technological appliances are suffering more. HEIs need to have a smart online syllabus for various subjects. Furthermore, HEIs need to review their communication channel and technical assistance. The strategies implemented by HEIs during COVID-19 are useful and should be continued to keep offering quality education during upcoming academic sessions.

The present study aimed to map the evidence to provide an overview of actions implemented/executed and scales used in public higher education institutions to promote worker health. A scoping review based on the PCC (Population, Concept, and Context) mnemonic was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and Virtual Health Library (VHL). Population included workers from a higher education institution, the concept referred to studies focusing on the assessment of quality of life and health promotion actions and the context to higher education institutions. Electronic searches were held on December 2019. A qualitative synthesis of the data extracted from included studies (i.e. author, year, study design, sample, country, aims, action implemented/performed, thematic focus, evaluation) was performed. Electronic searches retrieved 3,330 articles that were screened by tittles and abstracts. Of these, 34 studies were fully appraised, of which four reported that actions implemented/executed related to sedentariness, posture and stress. The studies show 49 scales were identified to measuring at least one quality of life item. Through this scoping review the available evidence to provide an overview of actions implemented/executed and scales used in public higher education institutions to promote worker health.

The basis of any business, including non-public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), is financial security, which is ensured by achieving sufficiently high profits and financial liquidity. Especially in these times, a rapidly changing market, the competition, and the upcoming birth rate forces HEIs to optimize operational and strategic decisions. On one hand, it creates new opportunities for non-public HEIs, but on the other, it is a source of danger for the future of their operations. Therefore, they must not only overcome the difficulties encountered in everyday life but also try to respond to the challenges posed by their environment, demonstrating the special care to ensure the efficiency of their operations. They must not only try to increase the quality of offered services or manage their funds rationally but with equal attention should “invest” in modern management methods and concepts. Through the use of controlling, contemporary non-public HEIs are able to choose an optimum variant of decision facilitating the achievement of their goals. In view of the above, this chapter discusses the special considerations relating to controlling HEIs from the point of view of increasing their effectiveness.

The new learning scenarios resulting from technological development and in particular of Web 2.0 make it necessary to rethink the teaching practices in higher education, namely at the level of assessment strategies aligned with more recent paradigms. The assessment of competences requires an approach where knowledge, abilities, and attitudes are integrated, implying the use of a variety of assessment strategies. What models can anchor this new assessment culture? How can one design an assessment program that guarantees the quality of this new approach? Based on a new theoretical framework for e-assessment in higher education, the authors construct and apply a survey aimed to identify the practices and the perspectives of the teachers, and the experiences and the perspectives of the students in public higher education institutions. In this chapter, the authors present and discuss the results obtained and advance a proposal for teacher training.
