The main purpose of this research paper is to propose a tentative model of how to proceed in the task of evaluating internal quality assurance (IQA) in Moroccan public universities. This initiative is intended to raise the academics' awareness about this issue and hopefully take advantage of some recommendations and implications, as suggested in this paper so as to implement IQA as required. With regard to the method of exploration, the study was carried out in the light of The Qualitative Approach (interviews with seven (7) participants: senior lecturers from diverse schools of the same university) as well as document analysis), since academic quality is so complex and cannot be properly quantified or measured. As concerns the results of this study, they show that the interviewees seem to converge about the importance of academic quality, though they have different specializations. However, their evaluation of the learning outcomes is not unified. The proposed model is specifically intended to fill this gap in public universities. The main implication from this investigation is that an adequate fulfilment of IQA of the teaching operation is mainly in the hands of the academic staff whose main responsibility is to undertake their activities regularly, as required. The proposed model constitutes a strong recommendation to be adopted in the process of IQA evaluation. Thus, the value of this study lies in its originality, as the proposed Model of IQA evaluation is the first initiative in the Moroccan educational context; it may inspire university teachers and raise their awareness of the crucial importance of IQA and how to implement it properly.

Man has always sought, first and foremost, to build his dwelling in any form of human settlement before considering other necessities. This demonstrates the vital importance of habitat for humans and the significant role it plays in the creation of cities or even in shaping their development. Given its size, scope, and pace, habitat exerts a dominant force in urban evolution, with other necessities becoming secondary outcomes of habitat and generally being subordinate due to evolution. This research aims to conduct an objective evaluation of the quality of participatory social housing by assessing the satisfaction of residents in the municipality of El Khroub. Its objective is to address research questions based on a specific epistemological foundation and defined methodological choices. Within our study framework, we have employed an experimental and phenomenological approach, combining observation, field analysis, and surveys.

This study examines the internal quality assurance mechanisms (IQAMs) at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) in Uganda through a self-assessment. A descriptive design and quantitative method are employed to investigate various quality aspects from all faculties and all units of MUST. The units of inquiry were (i) the internal stakeholders of MUST i.e. current staff and students, and (ii) the MUST Alumni. Participants were sampled using stratified simple random sampling where faculties and specific programs formed the various strata. The student samples were drawn from the admission lists while the alumni email contacts were drawn from the archived information in the Academic registrar's office. Staff lists were drawn from the Human Resources office. The study utilized a structured questionnaire based on the Inter-University Council of East Africa (IUCEA) model. Based on the target population and samples, 384, 76, and 371 responses were received from students, staff and alumni respectively. The study revealed that IQAMs were implemented in various areas including teaching and learning, research and innovations, and community outreach, but gaps existed in policies for skills development and community engagement. While the university had established quality assurance policies, there were concerns regarding their awareness and implementation. Diverse opinions among students and staff emphasized the importance of considering multiple perspectives. Alumni feedback highlighted positive outcomes in employability and program satisfaction, but suggested improvements in integrating practical components and enhancing university-industry collaborations. Based on the findings, recommendations were made to MUST, including the development of specific policies, strengthening implementation strategies, enhancing student engagement, addressing staff viewpoints, fostering alumni involvement, and strengthening university-industry connections. These recommendations aim to enhance internal quality assurance mechanisms and overall education quality. The study provides valuable insights into quality assurance practices at MUST and emphasizes the need for continuous monitoring and improvement to sustain educational quality. Future work should conduct a qualitative study to gain a deeper understanding of the self-assessment study and also the underlying reasons, motivations, and experiences that could have influenced the aforementioned quantitative findings.

This article examines the role of quality culture in determining the performance of institutions and organizations. Quality culture means adopting values of continuous improvement and striving for the highest levels of performance to satisfy customers and stakeholders. Numerous studies assess organizational performance and highlight factors such as board size, diversity, and innovation. However, these studies differ in terms of geographical context and variables used. This review aims to provide an overview of the methodologies of these studies and lay the foundation for future research on this important topic.

The research addressed institutional excellence in institutions of special education where the research clarified the concept of institutional excellence and its objectives, and its importance, and the principles of institutional excellence, where the stages of application of institutional excellence include the stage of preparation and preparation for institutional excellence, the stage of planning for institutional excellence, the stage of organization for institutional excellence, then the stage of organization for institutional excellence, and finally the stage of exchange and dissemination of experiences, as well as the research addressed the requirements of applying institutional excellence in special education institutions, which is a distinct leadership, an integrated strategy plan, and a system of policies regulating methods, methods of work and flexible organizational structures as well as a sophisticated system to confirm overall quality. The system includes an integrated information system, decision-making support, performance evaluation, and a system for preparing and developing personnel. The research examined the regulatory, financial, human, and technological barriers that hinder the implementation of institutional excellence in private education institutions.

Artificial Intelligence has changed many aspects of lives since it provides the technological services and tools that help to make decisions in everyday life. The present paper aims to highlight the role of education data mining in improving the quality of the educational process. Education data mining techniques can discover information that can assist educators in establishing pedagogical decisions when designing or modifying an environment or teaching approach. Also, education data mining can help predict students' failure or dropout. So present paper going to define educational data mining, why educational data mining is important, the goals of using educational data mining, and where educational data mining can be applied. Later, the paper develops some recent examples of studies that have had utilized educational data mining to enhance the educational process and predictive models that help educators in making educational decisions and building suitable prevention programs to improve the Quality of educational process.
