Abstract:

Timetabling problems have been widely studied, of which Educational Timetabling Problem (ETP) is the biggest section. Generally, ETP can be divided into three modules, namely, course timetabling, school timetabling, and examination timetabling. For solving ETP, many techniques have been developed including conventional algorithms and computational intelligence approaches. Several surveys have been conducted focusing on those methods. Some surveys target on particular categories; some tend to cover all types of approaches. However, there are lack of reviews specifically focusing on computationa

Abstract:

This paper presents an artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) for Education Timetabling Problem (ETP). It is aimed at developing a good-quality solution for the problem. The initial population of solutions was generated using Saturation Degree (SD) and Backtracking Algorithm (BA) to ensure the feasibility of the solutions. At the improvement stage in the solution method, ABC uses neighbourhood structures iteratively within the employed and onlooker bee operators, in order to rigorously navigate the UTP search space. The technique was evaluated using curriculum-based course timetabling (CB-CTT)

Abstract:

The paper describes a hybrid approach to solving of the automated timetabling problem in higher educational institution based on the ant colony optimization, the genetic algorithm, and the Nelder–Mead method. The ant colony method is the basis of this algorithm, which forms the initial population for the genetic algorithm. The combination of this method with the genetic algorithm and the Nelder–Mead method reduces time of the convergence of an algorithm and eliminates the strong dependence of the results on the initial search parameters, which usually are selected experimentally.

The university course timetabling problem looks for the best schedule, to satisfy given criteria as a set of given resources, which may contain lecturers, groups of students, classrooms, or laboratories. Developing a timetable is a fundamental requirement for the healthy functioning of all educational and administrative parts of an academic institution. However, factors such as the availability of hours, the number of subjects, and the allocation of teachers make the timetable problem very complex.

Abstract:

The university course-timetabling problem is a NP-C problem. The traditional method of arranging course is inefficient, causes a high conflict rate of teacher resource or classroom resource, and is poor satisfaction in students. So it does not meet the requirements of modern university educational administration management. However, parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) not only have the advantages of the traditional genetic algorithm(GA), but also take full advantage of the computing power of parallel computing. It can improve the quality and speed of solving effectively, and have a broad applicat

Abstract Introduction School start times no earlier than 9:45 a.m. for senior high students are considered “healthy” school start times (HSSTs) due to their potential to enhance teenagers’ health and well-being by accommodating their natural sleep patterns. Although many schools in Aotearoa New Zealand start one day a week later, daily implementation is rare. This study aimed to identify potential barriers and enablers for implementing HSSTs by gathering perspectives from key stakeholders in the education sector.

Abstract:

Timetabling is a critical aspect of academic administration in tertiary institutions, ensuring the efficient allocation of resources such as lecture halls, students, and faculty members for both lectures and examinations. However, manual examination timetable planning is often associated with errors, scheduling conflicts, and inefficiencies, leading to overcrowding, misallocation of resources, and delays. This study aims to design and develop an automated examination timetable system for NCE programmes at the Federal College of Education, Obudu. The system employs Object-Oriented Analysis and

Abstract:

The creation of academic timetables is a complex and time-consuming task for educational institutions, requiring adherence to various constraints such as university regulations, faculty workloads, and resource availability. Traditional manual methods are often inefficient and error-prone, making it essential to develop automated solutions. This paper proposes an intelligent timetable generation system that leverages advanced optimization algorithms, including Evolutionary Algorithms, Tabu Search, Simulated Annealing, and Scatter Search, to address the challenges associated with manual scheduli

Abstract:

Forensic accounting education has become an increasingly significant issue in recent years. In Australia, universities have acknowledged the industry’s growing relevance, and there have been attempts to address gaps in the provision of forensic accounting education. Despite these efforts, forensic accounting education is frequently omitted in university programs. This paper seeks to identify the obstacles that influence the transformation of forensic accounting knowledge into university programs. To do so, this study explores the perspectives of two groups: forensic accounting practitioners an

Policymakers and employers insist that educational institutions prepare workforce-ready candidates fluent in the application of 21st Century Skills such as creativity. So far, only a few studies have explored the self-perceived creativity of students. This paper addresses this gap in literature by providing an understanding of how young students in upper primary feel about themselves as creative beings. Data for the present study was collected through an anonymous online survey that 561 students, aged 9–11 years and residing in Malta (EU), completed. In-depth responses were collected from a su

The UCTP was comprehensive because of the policy difference among the university, faculties, and departments. The Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada, which organizes a block system has a different and more complex scheduling type than other faculties with non-block system.

Abstract:

The paper presents experience in setting up and running a computer-based alternative to a traditional undergraduate laboratory class as part of an introductory course in fluid mechanics. The ‘pseudo-experiment’ is not a computer simulation but provides each individual student with a realistic set of experimental readings (including likely random errors) for a real set of apparatus on which they have earlier conducted a real ‘hands-on’ experiment, and which was available for them to inspect or operate in their own time. Students were expected to process the results supplied and then write the u

Abstract:

Flexibility is a key aspiration of contemporary government guidance on school design. Used liberally, the term provides a convenient site for the meeting of educational approach (think flexible, personalised learning, timetabling, groupings) and spatial design (non-bounded, open space, moveable elements, independent structure and services). However, this meeting seems to pose a challenge. As Building Bulletin 95 puts it: ‘…the most flexibly designed spaces can only work if building users have a flexible attitude.’ Framing flexibility in the discourse of autonomy, this paper contends that it ca
