The educational sector is essential for helping students become conscious of and comprehend sustainable ecosystems. Utilising quantitative surveys, we identify patterns of social environmental networks towards ecological education frameworks among Malaysian 209 and Japanese 189 individuals of higher educational institutions. The study presents a conceptual approach that aims to enhance students' environmental knowledge and awareness by utilising social media strategically. The results indicate that social networks are an effective means of sharing environmental knowledge and promoting awareness. However, the influence of social media differs greatly depending on cultural factors and the quality of educational systems. This research pioneers the incorporation of social networks into the discourse on sustainable education, adding to the body of current literature. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers who aim to use social media to raise students' understanding and help achieve sustainable development objectives. It provides invaluable information for policy-makers, teaching professionals, and environmentalists who aim to utilise digital platforms for significant and positive change.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51607,"journal":{"name":"HIGHER EDUCATION QUARTERLY","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143119844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on data for the years 2015–2021, an empirical study was conducted to determine how to implement Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in 56 research partner countries in Indonesia among selected Universities. A total of two inputs and four different outputs were defined for this assessment. Only three international partners have an efficiency score of 1, except for the fact that only one IRC has a lower efficiency score than Decision Making Units (DMU), that do not have an IRC. The Social sciences, health and medicine, and food and agriculture receive the majority of government funding for the IRCs. The originality of this study lies in from the quantitative methology typically used in efficiency analysis, but its use to evaluate research collaboration, particularly on global levels, adds a unique dimension to the study. In addition, the geographical focus on higher education in Indonesia provides a fresh perspective, as does the thematic investigation related to the identification of popular collaborative disciplines. The importance of efficiency metrics in assessing the effectiveness of research collaborations is emphasised in this discussion. There is need for closer collaboration with academics from these partner countries as evidenced by the limited presence of Indonesian academics in a number of sectors. In addition, the study offers recommendations for maximising resources and promoting more productive methods of collaboration in order to increase the output and significance of research.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51607,"journal":{"name":"HIGHER EDUCATION QUARTERLY","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143117668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These schemes consider an applicant's background and circumstances alongside academic achievement to provide a fairer evaluation of progression into university. Several contextual factors have been considered by HE providers and few have been evaluated in the literature. However, the University and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) Multiple Equality Measure (MEM), introduced in 2018, is yet to be evaluated in contextual admissions schemes. This study evaluates the use of UCAS MEM data for contextual admissions at one mid-sized UK institution using a difference-in-differences framework and institutional data on applications for academic years 2021/22 and 2022/23. We found that the introduction of contextual offers, using UCAS MEM data, reduced the likelihood that applicants declined their offer. Applicants were more likely to place the offer from the university as their insurance option. This suggests that the contextual offer increased the appeal of the institution as a solid insurance option, with a marginal increase in probability of study at the institution. Caution is needed when implementing a contextual admissions policy based on UCAS MEM. University policies should consider alignment with their Access and Participation Plan (APP) objectives and commitments, and to ensure applicants understand the basis on which they may be offered a contextual offer.</p>","PeriodicalId":51607,"journal":{"name":"HIGHER EDUCATION QUARTERLY","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/hequ.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143117669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis presents a classification of research in this area by trends, influential authors and works, emerging issues, primary inputs and outputs, efficiency measurement level, higher education efficiency principles, and estimating methodologies. We note the exponential growth of research on efficiency measurement in higher education from 2011 to 2022. Most evidence is from developed nations like Italy, the UK, China, Australia, and Germany, with more scope for research on higher education in developing nations. The subject analysis reveals that student and departmental investigations need more attention and can lead to groundbreaking research.
