Diversification of European Systems of Higher Education
In dem Band werden die neuesten Entwicklungen und Probleme im europäischen Hochschulwesen analysiert. Im Mittelpunkt der Erörterungen stehen die veränderten Beziehungen zwischen Hochschule und Arbeitsmarkt, die Modifikationen in den Lehr- und Lernformen und schließlich die Bedingungen der Forschung in diversifizierten Hochschulsystemen. The contributions to this volume contain analyses of recent developments in the European systems of higher education, in particular aspects of change which have originated in the emergence of new forms of tertiary education. Special attention is given to the transformation of the relationship between higher education and the labour market, the impacts on the organisation of teaching and learning, and the modifications of the research system.
Higher Education in Europe
Recent political decisions have made education a legitimate and central policy object on a European level, with the mutual understanding of higher education systems now essential for the aims of 1992. This book analyzes the institutional and financial changes in higher education throughout the EC.
Innovation and Adaptation in Higher Education
This volume forms a collection of essays about recent developments in teaching and learning in European systems of higher education. It also examines the vulnerability of and pressures on institutions caused by these changes.
Research and Teaching at Universities
The interdependence of research and teaching at universities is widely debated at present. It is the aim of this book to contribute to this discussion from an international and comparative perspective. The contributors (from Europe, North-America and Australia) analyze historical origins, normative concepts and theoretical implications of the changing relationship between research and teaching. They also discuss various proposals for the implementation of theoretical concepts such as the 'unity of research and teaching' within national systems of higher education, like those of Austria, Australia, Canada, Germany, Great Britain and USA.
Knowledge Production in European Universities
The book studies transformations of European universities in the context of globalization and Europeanization, the questioning of the foundations of the «Golden Age» of the Keynesian welfare state, public sector reforms, demographic changes, the massification and diversification of higher education, and the emergence of knowledge economies. Such phenomena as academic entrepreneurialism and diversified channels of knowledge exchange in European universities are linked to transformations of the state and changes in public sector services. The first, contextual part of the book studies the changing state/university relationships, and the second, empirically-informed part draws from several recent large-scale comparative European research projects.
The Research Foundations of Graduate Education
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.
The Meanings Of Mass Higher Education
This book is the first systematic attempt to analyse the growth of mass higher education in a specifically British context, while seeking to develop more theoretical perspectives on this transformation of elite university systems into open post-secondary education systems. It is divided into three main sections. The first examines the evolution of British higher education and the development of universities and other institutions. The second explores the political, social and economic context within which mass systems are developing. What are the links between post-industrial society, a post-Fordist economy and the mass university? The third section discusses the links between massification and wider currents in intellectual and scientific culture.
Crisis and Change in Vocational Education and Training
In this volume Dr Geoffrey Elliot provides a critical account of the nature, extent and impact of government policy for the further education sector. He explores a range of responses to policy, exposing both intended and unintended consequences of the increased development of Human Resources Management and Quality Assurance system, and sets these in the context of competing lecturer and manager perspectives. He bases his theoretical focus on a study of a large urban FE college coming to terms with increasing pressures from market forces in vocational education. At a time of rapid change in FE this book offers useful and relevant information on: · the impact of government policy and college procedures upon lecturers' practice · the effects of the introduction of formal quality systems and quantitative performance indicators into the college · the conflict of professionals trying to balance the demands of students and managers · the resulting tensions between lecturers and senior college managers over resourcing, management styles and practices.
