Psychological pathways of intercultural adaptation among international students in Europe
Introduction Intercultural adaptation is a very essential aspect of psychological integration. As one of Europe’s leading universities, Eötvös Loránd University Budapest welcomes new groups of students every year. To help them navigate the university system and to support the cultural integration process, we organise mentoring programs for them. Our students come from every continent, with the majority hailing from countries in Africa, the MENA r…
Student evaluation of teaching prior, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction The primary aim of this study is to determine whether the quality of education declined at a Hungarian university during the COVID-19 lockdown. Contrary to studies with smaller sample sizes, we analyzed SET results from the university's IT faculty (both undergraduate and postgraduate programs) to provide empirical evidence for the academic discourse on the quality of education before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Although…
Applying Q-methodology to investigate computer science teachers’ preferences about students’ skills and knowledge for obtaining a degree
Students’ dropout of Computer Science (CS) education is a crucial issue. This study aims to investigate one of the aspects which can help to retain our students. It is vital to examine CS education on the challenge of competence transition within the BSc curriculum from faculty perspectives. Teachers’ expectations about students’ skills and knowledge are important to understand because they influence learning outcomes and teaching methodologies. …
The impact of the first wave of Covid-19 on students’ attainment, analysed by IRT modelling method
Universities around the world were closed for several months to slow down the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this crisis, a tremendous amount of effort was made to use online education to support the teaching and learning process. The COVID-19 pandemic gave us a profound insight into how online education can radically affect students and how students adapt to new challenges. The question is how switching to online education affected drop…
Successful Steps in Higher Education to Stop Computer Science Students from Attrition
Currently, the dropout rate is crucial in the field of Computer Science (CS) higher education. In CS education it is usually the mathematically oriented subjects that are blamed for the high dropout rates. Implementing a theoretical framework into practice, we have been able to prevent 28% of our students from dropping out in the last 2 years due to our education reform. The aim of the present study is to analyse the results of the students throu…
Applying the Rasch model to analyze the effectiveness of education reform in order to decrease computer science students’ dropout
Attrition is an important issue in higher education, especially in the field of computer science (CS). Here, we investigate to what extent an education reform affects the attrition of students by analyzing the pattern of grades of CS students’ academic achievement from 2010 to 2018 by IRT, based on Rasch-model analysis. We analyze data from 3673 undergraduate students of a large public university. In 2016 an education reform—as an intervention—wa…
