Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to identify and synthesize major streams of research on quality of student experience in higher education, to present an agenda for future research. The paper presents a systematic review of research published in high-quality journals during the period 2000 to 2014 in the areas of quality of student experience and higher education. Findings highlight current research trends on the quality of student experience in higher education. Results show five prevailing research streams: exploration of learning experience exploration of student experience gender differences in assessment of higher education experience improvement in quality of student experience and student satisfaction with higher education experience. The identification of the five research streams provides the basis for a synthesis of key issues identified within each research stream. In addition, the identification of purposes and limitations in existing research supports attempts to address issues of the quality of student experiences in higher education. Literature currently portrays the quality of student experience as a student-centric idea. Together with the purposes and limitations identified in existing research, the paper proposes an agenda for future research that increases the variety of research streams to provide a deeper understanding of the student experience and to enhance the delivery of quality in higher education. The findings contribute to the research scene by providing important insights in terms of the current trends and focus of existing research in the area of quality of student experiences in higher education.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of empathy in the student service experience. Taking a dyadic perspective, both students’ and staff’s perceptions are analyzed to determine if empathy matters to both actors alike and which differences in perceptions about the role of empathy between these actors exist. The authors adopt a multi-method approach and used data from 256 usable survey responses from 11 higher education service providers in Singapore. Empathy was operationalized by six cognitive and affective independent variables and multiple multivariate analyses are applied, such as multivariate analysis of variance, discriminant analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results show that both students and staff alike evaluate empathy as important in the co-created service experience. The provision of in idualized attention to students to positively influence student experience in learning was deemed important by both staff and students. Yet, there are also distinct differences. For students, it is essential that staff members have students’ best interests at heart for staff members, knowledge of students’ needs and show of care and concern are important. Students and staff perceive empathy in higher education service provision differently. Interestingly, whilst staff think caring for students is important, students feel that too much care and concern from staff has a negative effect on their experience. Hence, too much care and concern might cause potential issues with the students’ perception of “over-servicing” which might manifest as “spoon-feeding.” Instead, students are asking for in idualized and professionalized attention to be taken seriously and to be involved in the co-creation of the education service experience. This study advances the understanding of affective and cognitive aspects of empathy and their influence on students’ service experiences.
