Internationalization and the Academic Profession

This book makes a major contribution to the scholarship on internationalization in higher education by focusing on the perceptions and experiences of the academic profession in a comparative perspective. Drawing from data collected by the Academic Professions in the Knowledge-based Society (APIKS) project, the contributors to this volume are uniquely positioned to explore the impact and implications of internationalization on those who play the central role in the teaching and research functions of higher education: the professoriate. The core chapters address issues such as the roles of gender, discipline, and career stage in the international activities of academics in different countries,...

In Defense of Disciplines

Calls for closer connections among disciplines can be heard throughout the world of scholarly research, from major universities to the National Institutes of Health. In Defense of Disciplines presents a fresh and daring analysis of the argument surrounding interdisciplinarity. Challenging the belief that blurring the boundaries between traditional academic fields promotes more integrated research and effective teaching, Jerry Jacobs contends that the promise of interdisciplinarity is illusory and that critiques of established disciplines are often overstated and misplaced. Drawing on diverse sources of data, Jacobs offers a new theory of liberal arts disciplines such as biology, economics, a...

It then outlines the EUROAC project. This project has chosen three foci (governance, professionalisation, academic careers) to analyse changes in the work of the academic profession.

Hochschulbildung der Zukunft

Die Hochschulbildung der Zukunft steht vor großen Herausforderungen. Hochschulen sind in Bezug auf ihre Bildungsangebote mit wachsenden Erwartungen unterschiedlicher Anspruchsgruppen konfrontiert und positionieren sich in einem kompetitiven Feld.

In diesem Heft befassen wir uns daher mit Konzepten, Analysen und Ideen zur künftigen Hochschulbildung. Hierbei fokussiert das Heft auf die Organisation und Governance der Hochschulbildung, auf die Öffnung der Hochschule und die Individualisierung der Bildung, auf künftig relevante Kompetenzen, die Studierende erlangen müssen, sowie auf neue Formen von Prüfungen und Prüfungssettings.

This comparative study of social stratification, work patterns and research productivity: Examines eleven national, higher education systems across Europe (Austria, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland and the United Kingdom) Provides a panoramic view of th...

Hochschuldidaktik der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung

Neuere Forschungsarbeiten beginnen, wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung als Forschungsfeld mit Blick auf ihre besondere Verortung und die daraus folgenden Herausforderungen für das hochschulische Lehren und Lernen zu betrachten. Eine systematische Auseinandersetzung mit einer Hochschuldidaktik der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung und eine Systematisierung von Ansätzen stehen allerdings aus. Dieses Themenheft nimmt daher die Hochschuldidaktik im Kontext wissenschaftlicher Weiterbildung in den Blick. Die Beiträge setzen sich ausgehend von der Besonderheit der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung mit möglichen Ansätzen einer entsprechenden Hochschuldidaktik auseinander.
