ThePerceived Utility and University Enrolment IntentioninIndonesia: StudentsPerspective

Robert Ebo Hinson

This study investigates the difference between the utility of general higher education (GHE) and Islamic higher education (IHE),students' enrolment intention, and their correlation. Data werecollected using questionnaires. The participantsof this study were 753 students in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.Researchers used convenience and snowballing sampling techniques. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Spearman'scorrelation. This study proves that the level of utility and all its factors (economic and non-economic benefit, probability ofsuccess, and cost) differ significantly between GHE and IHE(Sig0.05). Moreover, it was found that all factors correlate with enrolment intention(Sig0.05).However, correlation coefficients indicate that the costof GHE and IHE is the factor with the weakest correlation (p=0,139andp=0.084) with enrolment intention. The strongest correlation with enrolment intention is the utilityof GHE and IHE(p=0,597and p=0.579)and the possibility of success in GHE and IHE(p=0,614 and p=0.530). This study offerspractical recommendations for higher education institutions and suggests future research
