Yayın Future in higher education: digital university(Işık Üniversitesi, 2023-06-13) Eşkinat, Ali; Teker, Suat; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Çağdaş İşletme Yönetimi Doktora ProgramıCurrently, higher education institutions are facing the necessity to adapt their educational delivery methods and operate in a globalized marketplace. Universities must reconsider how they provide access to their courses anywhere and at any time. Not only do they need to meet the increasing digital expectations of Generation Z students, but they also have to be prepared for the upcoming Generation Alpha. The concept of higher education and the evaluation of its main actors, universities, have been widely discussed since the Medieval age. The first-generation University 1.0 emerged as information transfer centers in the 11th Century. Following that, the second-generation University 2.0 appeared as information transfer and research centers in the 19th Century. The 1970s witnessed the emergence of the thirdgeneration University 3.0, which encompassed information transfer, research, and application (university-industry) centers. Subsequently, the fourth-generation University 4.0 flourished as a digitalized university, relying on technological and social innovations during the digital transformation era of the 2000s. The aim of this thesis is to provide a forward-looking perspective on the upcoming fifth-generation University 5.0, particularly its projected rise by the 2030s as a digital university targeting the global market and conducting education activities in a translocal and transtemporal manner worldwide. Through an extensive literature review, this prediction was confirmed, considering the growing impact of digital transformation, technological innovations, and the attitudes and expectations of the existing Generation Z university students and their successors, Generation Alpha. To further investigate this, a research survey was conducted with three different groups: university students, academics, and employers/managers, comprising a total of 346 participants. The survey questionnaire was designed based on four main pillars of questions, employing a composite approach to clarify the eight hypotheses of this study. The findings revealed a significant and linear relationship between the participants' importance assigned to digital education and their importance placed on digitalization. Additionally, a significant and linear relationship was observed between the importance given to digital education and the importance given to university education. Both students' preferences and university strategies currently exhibit a positive approach towards the hybrid education model. Furthermore, a similar attitude is projected for the future prevalence of virtual education models after the 2030s. As a result, this study anticipates that universities will increasingly offer hybrid model education based on market demand until 2030, with varying adoption rates across different disciplines such as medicine, engineering, social sciences, and others. Beyond 2030, traditional universities will continue to utilize blended learning, while digital higher education institutions of University 5.0 will experience inevitable growth.Yayın Digital era for universities: soon or far(PressAcademia, 2023-07-30) Eşkinat, Ali; Teker, SuatPurpose- Over the Covid-19 crises, most universities keep increasing the use of hybrid model at various levels in all disciplines in their education system forced by the market demand. This paper reviews the evolution of university generations from university 1.0 to university 4.0 using a historical point of view. This paper intends to clarify whether digital era for universities, namely University 5.0, is soon or far advocating that a large number of completely digital universities may breakout and reach everywhere in the world with no barriers of language, time and locations, and competing with local and traditional universities in all sense after year 2030. Methodology- The study employs an online survey via convenience sampling based on quantitative research method. Employers/Managers, Academics and formal University Students were selected as three target population group located all around Turkiye. The aim was to test the 5 hypotheses of this study to clarify the time of digital era for universities. Findings- The analysis reveals that the 5 hypotheses are accepted and seen as valid. The empirical results show a significant difference between the gender variable and the importance given to digital education. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the mean scores of the significance of digitalization and the importance given to digital education based on education level variable. Then, there were differences in the significance of digitalization and the importance given to digital education concerning the social status variable in the collected data. Notably, a linear and significant relationship was revealed between the importance given to digital education by participants and the importance they attributed to digitalization. Furthermore, a linear and significant relationship was found between the importance given to digital education and the importance given to university education. Under these circumstances, the results reveal that digital education is concerned as a fact of digital era and higher education institutions are not immune of this transformation. Conclusion- Based upon the analysis, it can be concluded that the traditional university system will be evolved into a digital university system in a not-too-distant future. In other words, traditional prestigious universities are expected to continue whereas digital universities appear as destructive competitors. For this reason, it may be argued that universities will increase to provide hybrid model education depending on the market demand until 2030, whereby it will be applied at different rates in education disciplines, such as of medicine, engineering, social sciences and many others. After 2030 traditional universities will continue to use blended learning whereas digital higher education institutions will start their inevitable growth.Yayın Rising value of data in contemporary higher education(Suat Teker, 2024-12-31) Eşkinat, Ali; Teker, SuatPurpose - The purpose of this study is to reflect the importance of effective use of data to predict and improve academic success as an essential criterion for assessing the quality of higher education institutions in the 21st Century. This paper intends to clarify importance of data and its evaluation components, namely Educational Data Mining (EDM), Learning Analytics (LA), Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), as integral part of Fifth Generation Universities (UNIVERSITY 5.0) era in the globalized competitive higher education sector. For this reason, this paper advocates “Rising Value of Data in Contemporary Higher Education” for the university of the new age. Methodology - The study employs a literature review aiming to reflect the new atmosphere and requirements in the higher education system based on selected topics. A comprehensive analysis on the game changer role of data in the higher education institutions was considered. The aim was to identify the difference created by effective use of data in higher education institutions to predict and improve academic success in the competitive academic environment of the new era. Findings - The analysis reveals that higher education institutions should understand the essential role of educational data with the expansion of digital revolution and rapid change in technologies in the 21st Century and design their strategies accordingly. Notably, it is clearly seen that the universities have not only effectively use educational data and its evaluation components namely Educational Data Mining (EDM), Learning Analytics (LA), Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) but also internalize the reality of their rising value to predict and improve academic success as well as creating a significant financial contribution to their development. As a matter of the fact, universities established many projects and effectively used their Learning Analytics (LA) tools. Besides, the emergence of Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of management operations. Conclusion - Findings may be concluded that universities need to apply the effective use of data particularly in the context of new era like Industry 5.0, Society 5.0 and University 5.0 to obtain academic success, which is considered as an essential criterion for assessing the quality of higher education institutions. Indeed, universities have to follow a data- driven culture as greater demands of universities already appeared for retention, completion and graduation rates of students to improve student success. As a matter of fact, the effective use of Educational Data Mining (EDM) and Learning Analytics (LA) is going on for the last two decades in higher education institutions. Indeed, Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are effective in data management as two impressive game changers for universities changing educational world from the financial perspective. For this reason, it may be argued that the effective use of data and its evaluation components, namely Educational Data Mining (EDM), Learning Analytics (LA), Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are considered as the integral part of Fifth Generation Universities (UNIVERSITY 5.0) era in the globalized competitive higher education sector of 21st Century.Yayın An innovative approach for higher education(Suat Teker, 2024-07-30) Eşkinat, Ali; Teker, SuatPurpose- The purpose of this study is to reflect the position of higher education institutions facing to adapt their strategies to the competitive priorities of the digital transformation era. This paper intends to clarify the new needs and demands of the prospective college students and the required response of universities to stay competitive in the new atmosphere. For this reason, this paper advocates “An Innovative Approach for Higher Education” model for the contemporary university of the new age. Methodology-. The study employs a literature review aiming to reflect the new needs and conditions in the higher education system based on selected topics. A comparative analysis of the needs of higher education institutions against the demands of college students and employers of the world of 2020s was considered. The aim was to analyze the required actions of the universities in the competitive environment concerning demands of the prospective college students including non-educational services and examine the potential for a model of An Innovative Approach for Higher Education. Findings-. The analysis reveals that higher education institutions should adapt themselves to the expectations of new student generations and design their strategies accordingly. Notably, it is clearly seen that the universities have not only be digitalized in their conventional noneducational services but also be ready to supply the demands and conditions of the competition in the digital transformation era. As a matter of the fact, over the Covid-19 crisis most universities keep increasing the use of hybrid model in all disciplines in their education system forced by the market demand. Furthermore, new concepts like industry 5.0 and Society 5.0 provide a basis for the University 5.0 model in parallel to the expectations of the new student generations. Under these circumstances, the results reveal that contemporary universities of this age should concentrate on such topics as understanding Generation Z’s perspective on embracing digital technologies, academic excellence, effective digital transformation in non-educational services and supplying employers’ demands to build a model of An Innovative Approach for Higher Education. Conclusion-. Findings may be concluded that students of digital age extend minor interest in conventional non-educational facilities. Indeed, their priorities have changed in parallel to technological advantages of digital transformation era and their value expectation from undergraduate education towards their career. As a matter of fact, the Covid-19 period brought a serious momentum towards a digital transformation of universities. For this reason, it may be argued that there may be no need for usual conventional non-educational components, and related elements for higher education in the near future. Instead, a significant need for a clear perception to meet the expectations of college students and prospected employers reflecting the new conditions of 21st Century is valid. For this reason, universities should rethink and redesign their structures. Indeed, blended learning in traditional universities and inevitable growth of digital higher education institutions named as University 5.0 will be seen after 2030s.
