Evaluation of the Quality of Higher Education Services by Revised IPA in the Perspective of Digitization.

Higher education services are at a crossroads created by the disruptive impact of digitalization. The COVID-19 pandemic experience forced Romanian universities to use digital educational platforms and other online education tools. The questions put into discussion are: Where is Romanian university education headed, what attributes of service quality are relevant for students, how do they see the digitization experience, and what needs to be done to increase satisfaction? A survey was conducted based on an online questionnaire on a sample of 314 students from the University of Oradea that used, for the first time in empirical research, a scale to measure satisfaction with the quality of educational services to which a dimension of digital education is added. Revised importance–performance analysis (importance–performance analysis in nine quadrants with one parameter c-9Qc-IPA) was used for data processing. The results show a still-reserved attitude towards certain aspects of the digitization of services, with priority remaining on aspects related to the material base and the prospects of finding a suitable job after graduation.
