Dynamics of performance and technology in higher education: An applied stochastic model and a case study

Öz:

The purpose of this paper is to develop a stochastic-dynamic model of performance and technology in education sector and bring into light the presence, in a particular subset of the Turkish higher education sector, of stochastically-evolving equilibria moving towards a low per- formance trap over time. The dynamics of the movement in question hinges, in part, on two factors, namely, (1) the productivity growth and (2) student population growth. We formulate a stochastically-driven, technology-based policy option that could help the sector to escape the trap, moving the sector towards high performance equilibria. The proposed policy option illustrates that technological transformation in educational practices could solve a structural problem (a low perfor- mance trap) in developing-country education sectors.
