There have been growing concerns about whether proper measures are in place to ensure the delivery of quality services and the operations in research and educational institutions. This paper describes various quality models and discusses their relevance into the total quality concepts and quality management systems (QMS) in education. It then illustrates how a QMS and the accompanied quality manual be developed in a research and educational institution using the Centre for Enterprise Research Integration (ERI) at The University of the West Indies, Trinidad as a case. Through personal interviews with the $Centre{\square}s$ personnel, views on the operations and determinants of the QMS were acquired. Results showed that the people's resistance to changes, conflicts on academic freedom, and difficulties on measuring performance were the obstacles to QMS implementation. People involvement and proper communication are determinants of QMS implementation. The system also rests on having a tailored quality manual that entails the documentation of processes and procedures for ascertaining the delivery of quality services and operations in the Centre. The development of quality manual is briefly described in the paper.

글로벌 환경에서 우수한 무역인재의 보유는 이제 국가의 수출경쟁력을 좌우하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 인재를 양성하기 위한 교육 프로그램을 전세계적으로 운영하고 있다. 우리나라 역시 예외는 아니다. 다양한 무역인재양성프로그램을 수행하고 있다. 그 중에서 가장 실효성 있는 프로그램이라 할 수 있는 지역특화청년무역전문가양성사업에 대해 본 연구를 살펴보고자 한다. 지역특화청년무역전문가양성사업의 교육을 이수한 학생들을 대상으로 그들이 국제화의도를 증폭시키는데 교육의 서비스가 어떠한 역할을 하는지 알아보고 있다. 그 결과, 강사품질, 교육인프라품질, 교육품질 모두가 교육만족도와 국제화의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으며, 교육만족도는 매개변수로서의 역할을 수행하고 있었다. 이는 단순히 교육을 수행하는 것이 중요한 것이 아니라 교육서비스품질이 무엇보다 중요함을 시사하고 있어 향후 교육자 양성에도 관심을 가져야만 우수한 무역인재가 양성될 수 있음을 본 연구결과는 보여주고 있다.

Educational institutions play a critical role in national development through the advancement of skilled human resources and intellectual society. The number of higher educational institutions (HEIs) is increasing significantly in Bangladesh. Students have a number of options from which to select their preferred educational institutions. Hence, HEIs should think about the quality of services they provide to students. The objective of this study is to measure students' satisfaction and university reputation through service quality (SQ) in a private higher educational institution (PriHEI) in Bangladesh. Primary data was collected from 270 students of International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC), Bangladesh, through a simple random sampling technique. In this study, data was analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlation, measurement model using confirmatory factor analyses, and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that transport services have indirect but medical and physical facilities have both direct and indirect significant effects on overall students' satisfaction. Further, the administrative services and research facilities have significant indirect effects on overall students' satisfaction. Finally, the results of structural equation modeling (SEM) confirm that the reputation of the university is directly associated with overall students' satisfaction.

Since the competition of higher education is more and more critical, the improvement of educational services is importantly considered. Despite the current situations, there are few studies addressing the relationships between education service quality and its outcomes. As educational service quality plays a key role in improving student satisfaction, universities provides a high level of educational services for students and reinforce their competitiveness through student satisfaction. This research investigates the relationships among IT service quality, business education service quality, trust, student satisfaction and student loyalty. In so doing, the current study establishes a theoretical model to test the proposed relationships. The results further suggest that the indirect effect of the IT service quality and the business education service quality enhances its impact of student satisfaction, trust, student loyalty.

본 연구의 목적은 한국의 교육서비스 수출활성화를 위해 대학교육 서비스품질의 평가요인과 속성을 도출하고 중국인 유학생들을 대상으로 각 요인들의 중요도와 만족도에 대해 어떻게 인식하는지를 실증 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 다음과 4가지 연구문제를 제시하였다. 첫째, 대학교육 서비스품질 요인의 중요도 평가에 국립대 재학 유학생과 사립대 유학생간에 차이가 존재하는가? 둘째, 대학교육 서비스 품질 만족도에서 국립대 재학 유학생과 사립대 유학생간에 차이가 존재하는가? 셋째, 대학교육서비스 품질요인의 중요도 평가와 만족도 평가 간에 차이가 존재하는가? 넷째, 한국 대학교육 서비스품질 평가요인의 전반적 한국 대학교육서비스품질 만족에 미치는 상대적 영향력은 어떻게 다른가? 검증결과, 첫째, 국립대와 사립대 중국인 유학생들의 대학교육 서비스품질 중요도평가에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 품질만족도에서 관계복지요인에서만 국립대와 사립대 간의 만족도 차이가 나타났다. 셋째, 국립대와 사립대 모두 서비스품질요인 중요도에 비해 실제 만족하는 정도와는 1% 유의 수준에서 매우 유의적인 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 강의요인과 교육시설요인만이 대학의 전반적 교육서비스 품질 평가요인 만족에 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 전반적 만족도에 대한 영향력은 강의요인이 교육시설보다 더 컸다. 본 연구의 결과는 대학당국이 외국학생 유치전략 수립 시교육서비스와 관련된 품질차원들을 중심으로 외국인 유학생을 위해서 적절한 시스템과 적절한 방안을 세워야 한다는 점을 시사한다.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to identify the relationship between educational needs and the caregiving burden of primary caregivers with stroke patient. Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted in 2016 with 115 primary caregivers for stroke patients at a university hospital. The caregiving burden and educational needs were investigated using structured questionnaires via interviews. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, the t-test or ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23.0. Results: The scores of caregiving burden and educational needs of primary caregiver with stroke patient were $77.65{\pm}1.66$ and $123.33{\pm}2.37$, respectively. The caregiving burden was associated with health status in primary caregivers' general characteristics. The caregiving burden and educational needs of primary caregivers have a significant correlation (r = .44, p <.001). Conclusions: Educational needs of primary caregivers with stroke patient are associated with their caregiving burden. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a primary caregiver centered intervention program considering educational needs to improve their caregiving burden. Also, to promote quality of nursing, there is the need to increase the educating competency of nurse and nursing professionalism of clinical nurse using various educational training program.
