This paper introduces the competency models for Operations Manager, User Interface
Designer, and Application Developers. It will serve as a guide for Information Systems students
to identify which among the three of the offered tracks would be most suited for them to pursue
according to their knowledge, skills, values and interests. The Holland’s RIASEC model and the
Values Search model of Bronwyn and Holt were utilized to determine the most dominant interest
and most dominant values of the industry computing experts. Survey assessment forms were sent
to IT Operations Manager, User Interface Designer, and Application Developer. Most dominant
values and interests of industry computing experts were determined as well as the knowledge
and skills which are mostly required by the industry in their particular area. Based on the result
of the survey, it shows that application developer and user interface designer have a closely
related values. Thus a second round of a survey would be needed to come up with the most
exclusive dominant values for the particular information systems specialization track.

Investigating a theoretical framework for e-learning technology acceptance IJECEIAES
E-learning has gained recognition and fame in delivering and distributing educational resources, and the same has become possible with the occurrence of Internet and Web technologies. The research seeks to determine the factors that influence students' acceptance of E-learning and to find out the way these factors determine the students' intention to employ E-learning. A theoretical framework was developed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). To obtain information from the 270 university students who utilized the E-learning system, a questionnaire was formulated. The results revealed that “social influence, perceived enjoyment, self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use” are the strongest and most important predictors in the intention of and students towards E-learning systems. The outcomes offer practical implications for practitioners, lawmakers, and developers in effective E-learning systems implementation to improve ongoing interests and activities of university students in a virtual E-learning atmosphere, valuable recommendations for E-learning practices are given by the research findings, and these may turn out to be as guidelines for the efficient design of E-learning systems.

There are more than 15 million college students in the US alone. Academic advising for courses and scholarships is typically performed by human advisors, bringing an immense managerial workload to faculty members, as well as other staff at universities. This paper reports and discusses the development of two educational expert systems at a private international university. The first expert system is a course advising system which recommends courses to undergraduate students. The second system suggests scholarships to undergraduate students based on their eligibility. While there have been reported systems for course advising, the literature does not seem to contain any references to expert systems for scholarship recommendation and eligibility checking. Therefore the scholarship recommender that we developed is first of its kind. Both systems have been implemented and tested using Oracle Policy Automation (OPA) software.
Predicting student performance in higher education using multi-regression modelsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Supporting the goal of higher education to produce graduation who will be a professional leader is a crucial. Most of universities implement intelligent information system (IIS) to support in achieving their vision and mission. One of the features of IIS is student performance prediction. By implementing data mining model in IIS, this feature could precisely predict the student’ grade for their enrolled subjects. Moreover, it can recognize at-risk students and allow top educational management to take educative interventions in order to succeed academically. In this research, multi-regression model was proposed to build model for every student. In our model, learning management system (LMS) activity logs were computed. Based on the testing result on big students datasets, courses, and activities indicates that these models could improve the accuracy of prediction model by over 15%.

Graduates of computer science programs often lack skills that employers desire among software
developers. These include, for example, weaknesses in the areas of collaboration, communication, and
software testing. Further research can help to refine this list by providing insight into additional skills that
are of rising or regional importance. This paper therefore presents a study aimed at uncovering desirable
technical and soft skills for graduates of computer science in the Pacific Northwest region of the United
States. Interviews of 11 employers, including both managers and recruiters, highlighted the prominent
importance of skills related to web development, relational databases, and testing. Additionally, it
spotlighted not only widely-recognized soft skills such as those related to collaboration and
communication, but additionally on skills tied to personal attributes such as innovating, coping with
ambiguity and learning quickly. The results provide insights for what skills and personal attributes to

DATA MINING FOR STUDENTS’ EMPLOYABILITY PREDICTIONCSEIJJournal
This study has been undertaken to predict the student employability.Assessing student employability
provides a method of integrating student abilities and employer business requirements, which is becoming
an increasingly important concern for academic institutions. Improving student evaluation techniques for
employability can help students to have a better understanding of business organizations and find the right
one for them. The data for the training classification models is gathered through a survey in which students
are asked to fill out a questionnaire in which they may indicate their abilities and academic achievement.
This information may be used to determine their competency in a variety of skill categories, including soft
skills, problem-solving skills and technical abilities and so on.The goal of this research is to use data
mining to predict student employability by considering different factors such as skills that the students have
gained during their diploma level and time duration with respect to the knowledge they have captured
when they expect the placement at the end of graduation. Further during this research most specific skills
with relevant to each job category also was identified. In this research for the prediction of the student
employability different data mining models such as such as KNN, Naive Bayer’s, and Decision Tree were
evaluated and out of that best model also was identified for this institute's student’s employability
prediction.So, in this research classification and association techniques were used and evaluated.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

One alumna said, “Other alumnus who didn't like IT/IS/CS but was able to finish the program was
due to the fact that they felt they needed to finish the course just to earn a degree. It's just a
matter of formality by all means. As long as they earn a degree and get any job. I know someone
who is underemployed. She is not confident enough to apply for any programming position
because she is not confident of her programming skills.”Often, students would only realize the
importance of choosing the right track once they get into the real job or even from the start of
sending applications to the prospective companies and desired positions where there is tight
competition. Thus, many graduates end up getting jobs that are far from their field of
specialization contributing to the perennial problem of job mismatching. Some may easily find
jobs which seemingly are related to their field, but promotions or career growth takes longer
compared to others who are competent in their field. As a result, underemployment rate increases.
According to National statistics Office of the Philippines, the underemployment rate last 2nd and
3rd quarters of 2012 was 19.2. Underemployment means a situation in which a worker is
employed but not in the desired capacity, whether in terms of compensation, hours, or level of
skills and experience. [11] Moreover, [9] “Underemployment and unemployment varies a great
deal depending on the major when there’s a skills mismatch. With regards to compensation, [9]
underemployed and unemployed graduates earn as much as 10 percent less over their careers
compared to their fully employed peers. However, despite of the compensation struggle, some
graduates would better be underemployed rather than unemployed.
Therefore, helping students determine the track of specialization according to their values,
interests, knowledge, and skills would lead them to a more successful career. With the new
curriculum of Information Systems program in Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP),
three tracks are now offered aside from elective courses it has been offering. These tracks are
Application Development, Operations Management, and User interface designing.
This study focuses on constructing a competency model for Information Systems Program of TIP
which would help students to decide on which track of the Information Systems Program they
would consider.
2. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Career counselling in Technological Institute of the Philippines was not so active yet compared
with other universities until the institution implemented the student advising system. Based on the
Information Systems, TIP Quezon City Self Survey Report (IS TIPQC SSR) [3] new advising
scheme is intended to provide students with knowledge and guidance on academic policies, plan
of study progression, career options, instructional support, and job opportunities, among others,
and to monitor the attainment of relevant student outcomes.” It is also intended to support
students in maintaining and completing their particular plan of study on time and thus improve
the institutional retention and completion rates. One motivation in conceptualizing the proposed
competency model is the school’s advising scheme. Having clear background of students’
competencies could help faculty advisers in advising the students. The implementation of the
competency model proposed by [5] focusing on a more specific engineering skills resulted to
excellent performance of their students. This paper aimed to construct a model that would help to
determine not just knowledge and skills of the students but as well as their values and interests.
Figure 1 represents the conceptual framework of this study. Skills and knowledge regarding the
computing tools and theories from the aligned courses of Information Systems Program of TIP
were identified to design a survey. While the RIASEC interest test of John Holland and value
search test of Bronwyn and Holt were utilized to determine the values and interests of industry
computing experts in the field related to the Information Systems three tracks. The expected

output of this paper is the competency model of Information Systems’ Specialization tracks which
was based on the results of survey.

Figure 2 shows the Framework on the Assessment of Students’ Competency for Information
Systems Specialization Tracks. The competency model, which is the focus of this paper, is
constructed based on result of the evaluations conducted from the industry computing experts.
The model could then be used to determine which Information Systems track is the most
appropriate for the student to pursue. The same rating tests would be sent to students to
determine the student’s most dominant and identified values, interest, knowledge, and skills.

Specialization Tracks
3. METHODS, TECHNIQUES, MODE OF INQUIRY
The assessment forms shown on the appendices were used to collect data from the industry
computing experts particularly from the IT Operations Manager, User Interface Designer, and
Application Developers.
The table shown in appendix 4 is the assessment rating form with regards to the interests expected
from the aspiring operations manager, user interface designer, and application developer. This
form is based from the RIASEC test designed by the Career Educational Center of University of
Hawaii. [4] The RIASEC Holland Code, which stands for: R- ealistic, I-nvestigative, A-rtistic, S-ocial,
E-nterprising, C-onventional was used in this study to determine the interest of industry
computing experts.
Knowledge and skills listed on the appendix 1, 2, and 3 are based on the aligned courses for each
track offered in the Information Systems’ curriculum which would be the possible competencies
acquired by the students during their training in the institution. Assessment checklist of
Knowledge and skills for user interface designer composed mainly of programming languages
and tools used in the courses offered in the Information Systems curriculum is shown in appendix
2. Programming languages, database systems, and other application development tools are listed
on the knowledge and skills checklist for application developer as shown in appendix 3 while for
the expected skills and knowledge from operations manager are shown in appendix 1. With the
revision of the Information Systems’ curriculum industry experts were already considered as the
program formed an advisory board composed of alumni, faculty, institution’s officers, and
practitioners so the initial list were all based on the updated curriculum.
6. 128 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
The Value Search Test found in appendix 6 was used in determining the most dominant values of
the industry computing experts. The Value Search Map of Bronwyn and Holt, please refer to
figure 3, were utilized to categorize the values. It has eight value categories namely,
Understanding, benevolence, tradition, security, power, excitement, achievement, and self-direction.
The mapping of values can help you better understand how your values can influence
and motivate your career decisions. The values test is one necessary input to best determine the
Information systems specialization track of the student wherein it would help in evaluating on
how well the values are integrated in the work. [6]
Figure 3. The Value Search Map of Bronwyn and Holt
These value search tests were sent to at least ten of the experienced operations managers, user
interface designers, and application developers from the industry computing expert. At least five
years of experience in the related field was considered. Determining the minimum years in
service, which is five years, is based on the most common requirement of recruitment process in
the computing industry.
The same assessment ratings forms will be used when the competency model is utilized in the
identification of the most suitable Information Systems’ track for the student to pursue.
Table 5. Profile of Respondents
4. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
The summation of the most required knowledge and skills of the industry computing experts were
computed. The same computation was used in coming up with the top ten most dominant values.
Values are then categorized using the Values Search Map [6]. Meanwhile, for the computation of
the most dominant interest of the expert, each category in the assessment form was first added
and categorized. Finally, results of all forms were summed up and categorized to come up with
the top three most dominant interests of computing expert in each track of specialization.
7. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 129
Table6. Result Of Values Survey Based On The Values Search Framework
Table 6 shows the result of the survey that was conducted to determine the most dominant values
of experts from application developers, user interface designers, and operations manager. The
user interface designers’ most dominating value is the openness to change which scored 33
points. While the top values of operations manager falls under the category of self-enhancement
with a score of 35 points, which means achievement and power are their highest concerns.
On the other hand, basic knowledge on programming languages and in operating systems is
necessary but not required in IT operations manager. Most of the listed knowledge and skills
required from application developers and user interface designers were confirmed. Please refer to
table 7 and assessment rating form appendix 1, 2, and 3.
Finally, with regard to the top three interests: Operations Manager has Social, Investigative, and
Conventional; User Interface Design-Artistic, Social, and Enterprise; Application Developer –
Realistic, Investigative, and Conventional. With regard to the dominating values of the computing
experts, openness to change and self enhancement are the top values of application developer
which both values got the highest score of 24 points as shown in Table 8.
Table 7. Most Required Skills And Knowledge
Table 8. The Top Three Interests Of Operations Manager, Application Developer, And User Interface
Designer

Top three interests of operations manager as shown on table 8 are Social, Conventional, and
Investigative. While for the applications developer top three interests are investigative,
conventional, and realistic. User interface designer’s top three interests are, social, enterprise, and
artistic.
5. COMPETENCY MODELS FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS
SPECIALIZATION TRACKS
The most dominant values of operations manager is under the category of self-enhancement.
Among the three tracks it got the highest score of 35 which is 13% higher than that of user
interface designer and 8% higher than the application developer as shown in table
Table 9. Operations Manager Competency Model
Table 10. Applications Developer Competency Model
Application developer’s most dominant values are under the categories of openness to change and
self-enhancement which got the score of 24 each respectively. However, the conformity category
9. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 131
got the highest score of 21 compared with the scores of operations manager, and user interface
designer.
Table 11. User Interface Designer Competency Model
The most dominant values of user interface designer falls under the category of openness to
change. While the values under self- transcendence got higher scores compared with other tracks.
6. CONLCUSION AND FUTURE WORKS
Based on the result of the survey, it shows that application developer and user interface designer
have closely related values. Thus, another round of conducting a survey would be needed to come
up with the most exclusive dominant values for the particular information systems specialization
track.
For future works, the competency models can be implemented to a computer application that will
cater the processing of the identification of Information Systems track to be recommended to the
information systems students according to their competency.
