Transformation Fast and Slow
As the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated change and transformation in higher education, this book discusses the transformative power of the pandemic on three key elements in higher education: digitalisation, quality and trust.
Under Pressure
Higher education is being reshaped, challenging institutions to strategically respond to the reconfiguration of their role and missions. This book addresses the interactions between policy drivers and institutional practices in major issues such as governance, funding, quality and management.
Diversity and Excellence in Higher Education
"Diversity and excellence in Higher Education seem to be conflicting concepts. Nevertheless, they are dynamic and closely intertwined -- indeed they may even require each other. The book brings together insights from ten different countries to analyse these multi-facetted phenomena and discuss how they may be reconciled within higher education. To set the overall context, it critically addresses markets and managerialism, whilst foregrounding the dangers of certain behavior that European countries are currently, though often unwisely, copying from the U.S. In a mass Higher Education system, the social basis of the student body diversifies – a fact that creates new challenges for planners a...
Beyond Equality
This phenomenological study of the experiences of women leaders in higher education emphasizes that the pursuit of gender equity has not delivered the anticipated cultural shifts for women. The lenses of structure, culture, and nurture serve as a conceptual framework to better understand the expectations and experiences of women leaders. Women in this study face intersectional identities (like race and gender but also as a working woman and a mother). Three archetypes of women's leadership orientation emerged from the study of women academic leaders' experiences: Passers, Pushers, and Peacekeepers. The three archetypes provide helpful distinction to the leadership orientations of women. Yet ...
Sustaining the Future of Higher Education
As the world is changing at an extremely rapid pace, this book discusses how higher education needs to innovate to maintain its core values while responding to multiple crises, local demands and global needs, threats and opportunities.
Accelerating the Future of Higher Education
The events of the last years have shaken the world of higher education. The post-COVID-19 period has raised multiple questions in key areas, from digitalisation over quality assurance to internationalisation. This book brings together scholars, practitioners and policymakers in higher education, and discusses in a variety of topics the future of the higher education sector in a rapidly changing context: the complexities of digital education, the need or necessity for innovation or the impact of globalisation are some of the topics addressed in this book. Those topics are brought together around one central theme: how can the future of higher education be accelerated to address in a sustainab...
Handbook on the Politics of Higher Education
Understanding the politics of Higher Education is becoming more important as the sector is increasingly recognised as a vital source of innovation, skills, economic prosperity, and personal wellbeing. Yet key political differences remain over such issues as who should pay for higher education, how should it be accountable, and how we measure its quality and productivity. Particularly, are states or markets the key in helping to address such matters. The Handbook provides framing perspectives and perspectives, chapters on funding, governance and regulation, and pieces on the political economy of higher education and on the increased role of external stakeholders and indicators.
Incentives and Performance
This book contributes to the current discussion in society, politics and higher education on innovation capacity and the financial and non-financial incentives for researchers. The expert contributions in the book deal with implementation of incentive systems at higher education institutions in order to foster innovation. On the other hand, the book also discusses the extent to which governance structures from economy can be transferred to universities and how scientific performance can be measured and evaluated. This book is essential for decision-makers in knowledge-intensive organizations and higher-educational institutions dealing with the topic of performance management.
Digitale Kompetenzen - Zur Rolle dieser "Future Skills" im Hochschulkontext: Definition und Bedeutsamkeit, Messung und Förderung
Digitale Kompetenzen spielen mittlerweile in nahezu jedem Lebensbereich eine wichtige Rolle. Das Bildungssystem als Ganzes, insbesondere aber auch die Hochschulen, sind daher gefordert, Bildung in diesem Bereich anzubieten. Um dieser gesellschaftlich hoch relevanten Aufgabe nachkommen zu können, bedarf es der breiten Reflektion. In diesem Themenheft werden nicht nur die Definition und die Bedeutung digitaler Kompetenzen im Hochschulbereich aus verschiedenen Perspektiven beleuchtet, sondern es wird auch auf die Messung und Förderung dieser eingegangen. In insgesamt elf Beiträgen aus dem deutschsprachigen Hochschulraum werden verschiedenste empirische Erkenntnisse aus der Hochschulpraxis neben innovativen Lehrkonzepten und Förderansätze vorgestellt und Anregungen zur Weiterentwicklung und Beforschung digitaler Kompetenzen im Hochschulkontext präsentiert.
Reforming Higher Education
This book analyzes the reforms that led to a differentiated landscape of higher education systems after university practices and governance were considered poorly adapted to contemporary settings and to their new missions. This has led to a growing institutional differentiation in many higher education systems. This differentiation has certainly contributed to making the institutional landscape more diverse across and within higher education systems. This book covers this diversity. Each part corresponds to a different but complementary way of looking at reforms and highlights what can be learnt on specific cases by adopting a specific perspective. The first part analyzes the ongoing reforms...
