Abstract

Worldwide, scholarship and policy-making develop new ideas and models for the role of higher education and research in society and economy. This development points to changing relationships and boundaries between the public and private spheres in higher education including their public and private steering and funding, public-private partnerships between universities and firms, the rise of private higher education and of business models in the management of universities. The contributions to this edited volume investigate into the dynamics of blurring boundaries between the public and the private in higher education and their consequences for the university.

Abstract

Unter welchen Bedingungen können die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter und allgemein eine soziale Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in Wissenschaft und Forschung erreicht werden? Welche konkret wirksamen Maßnahmen gibt es, auch z.T. gegenläufige Praktiken auszuhebeln? Das Buch wendet sich an Praktiker*innen und Forscher*innen gleichermaßen, die sich sowohl über bekannte Hindernisse und deren mögliche Umgehung als auch über neueste Erkenntnisse zu europäischen Gleichstellungsstrategien informieren wollen. Under what conditions can gender equality and social gender justice in science and research in general be achieved? What concrete and effective measures are there to undermine some contrary practices? The book is aimed at practitioners and researchers alike who want to find out about known obstacles and how they can be circumvented as well as about the latest findings on European gender equality strategies.

Abstract

Tracing the shift from liberal to neoliberal education from the nineteenth century to the present day, this open access book provides a rich and previously underdeveloped narrative of value in higher education in England. Value and the Humanities draws upon historical, financial, and critical debates concerning educational and cultural policy. Rather than writing a singular defence of the humanities against economic rationalism, Zoe Hope Bulaitis constructs a nuanced map of the intersections of value in the humanities, encompassing an exploration of policy engagement, scientific discourses, fictional representation, and the humanities in public life. The book articulates a kaleidoscopic range of humanities practices which demonstrate that although recent policy encourages higher education to be entirely motivated by outcomes, fiscal targets, and the acquisition of employability skills, the humanities continue to inspire and aspire beyond these limits. This book is a historically-grounded and theoretically-informed analysis of the value of the humanities within the context of the market.

Abstract

This open access book critiques real world learning across both the curriculum and extracurricular activities. Drawing on disciplines as diverse as business, health, fashion, sociology and geography, the editors and authors employ a cross-disciplinary approach to examine how this concept is being applied in higher education. Divided into three parts, the authors and contributors analyse broader applications of real world learning, student experience of practicing in a real world setting, and how learning strategies can be employed to engage students in real world learning. The editors and contributors provide up-to-date, cross-disciplinary and international insights into how real world learning could be integrated into the higher education curriculum to support effective, relevant and life-long learning for 21st century students. Dawn A. Morley is Postdoctorate Research Fellow at Solent University, UK. She specialises in how students’ learning at university can be connected to greater work readiness and is the lead editor on two previously published edited collections related to work-based learning. Md Golam Jamil is a pedagogic researcher at the University of Bristol, UK. His research interests include applied pedagogies, research-informed teaching, technology-enhanced learning and language education.

Abstract

Von 1999 bis 2013 haben jeweils acht Bundesländer die Bachelor- und Masterabschlüsse für die gymnasiale Lehrer*innenbildung übernommen sowie die Staatsprüfung beibehalten. In der Arbeit wird nach den Strategien der einzelnen Bundesländer gefragt, die zu (k)einer Reform geführt haben. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass die Einführung der Bachelor- und Masterabschlüsse mit weiteren Reformen verknüpft wurden. Entsprechend wurden der Bologna-Prozess als "Window of Opportunity" für eine grundlegende Erneuerung der Lehrer*innenbildung dargestellt. Auch bereits getroffene Reformentscheidungen in anderen Bundesländern sowie Verweise auf europakompatible Studienstrukturen dienten als Begründung für eine Umsetzung. Bundesländer, die auf eine Einführung verzichteten, vermieden offene Kritik an den reformierten Abschlüssen und betonten gleichzeitig die Stärke von partiellen Bologna-Reformen der jeweils eigenen lehrer*innenbildenden Studiengänge.

Abstract

This open access book focuses on the dimensions of the discourse of 'The World Class University', its alleged characteristics, and its policy expressions. It offers a broad overview of the historical background and current trajectory of the world-class-university construct. It also deepens the theoretical discussion, and points a way forward out of present impasses resulting from the pervasive use and abuse of the notion of "world-class" and related terms in the discourse of quality assessment. The book includes approaches and results from fields of inquiry not otherwise prominent in Higher Education studies, including philosophy and media studies, as well as sociology, anthropology, educational theory. The growing impact of global rankings and their strategic use in the restructuring of higher education systems to increase global competitiveness has led to a ‘reputation race’ and the emergence of the global discourse of world class universities. The discourse of world class universities has rapid uptake in East Asian countries, with China recently refining its strategy. This book provides insights into this process and its future development.

Abstract

This book discusses and analyses global policies and practices aimed at promoting equity in higher education participation and attainment. Although the massification of higher education systems has facilitated the participation of students from deprived backgrounds, socioeconomic inequalities persist in access to the most prestigious institutions and programmes. Privileged students benefit from a number of advantages in the competition for selective and scarce places: access to information, lower aversion to debt, higher expectations, better previous schooling and higher academic achievement. The chapters present a critical analysis of equity policies in different countries – with or without affirmative action policies, within a context of neoliberal policies or within a social democratic model – and the reasons why they have failed to promote equity and fairness, preventing students from achieving their full educational potential.
