Higher Education by Larry Robert Smith Pdf

Higher education has a vital role to play in the social and economic development of all countries. The sector, however, faces a significant number of critical issues to be addressed, major challenges to be met and overcome, and significant opportunities to be grasped and consolidated. Higher education institutions are now expected to operate, manage, compete, be creative and innovative, and provide intellectual leadership in a world characterised by increasingly rapid, pervasive and fundamental change. The question of how to maximise the performance of the higher education sector in the context of such an environment is the focus of the chapters in this book, which provide perspectives, analyses and examples relating to some of the major issues and challenges confronting higher education, both now and in the future. The information presented is drawn from recent research, as well as critical analyses of existing theory and practice. Authors are drawn from ten different countries: Australia; Brazil; Belgium; China; Israel; The Netherlands; Portugal; Turkey; the United Kingdom; and the USA. The topics addressed include: the role of higher education; government policy agendas; skills for the 21st Century; the role of higher education in addressing poverty; higher education and the labour market; the future of Brazilian higher education; higher education cost-sharing policy; the impact of political culture on higher education reform; accreditation; quality assurance; improving teaching and learning; promoting technology integration; creating inclusive higher education institutions; English for academic purposes; the relationship between learning style preference and academic disciplines; quality work-integrated learning; student learning in research-based doctorates; and developing emotional intelligence in higher education students.

Higher Education Landscape 2030 by Dominic Orr,Maren Luebcke,J. Philipp Schmidt,Markus Ebner,Klaus Wannemacher,Martin Ebner,Dieter Dohmen Pdf

This open access Springer Brief provides a systematic analysis of current trends and requirements in the areas of knowledge and competence in the context of the project “(A) Higher Education Digital (AHEAD)—International Horizon Scanning / Trend Analysis on Digital Higher Education.” It examines the latest developments in learning theory, didactics, and digital-education technology in connection with an increasingly digitized higher education landscape. In turn, this analysis forms the basis for envisioning higher education in 2030. Here, four learning pathways are developed to provide a glimpse of higher education in 2030: Tamagotchi, a closed ecosystem that is built around individual students who enter the university soon after secondary education; Jenga, in which universities offer a solid foundation of knowledge to build on in later phases; Lego, where the course of study is not a monolithic unit, but consists of individually combined modules of different sizes; and Transformer, where students have already acquired their own professional identities and life experiences, which they integrate into their studies. In addition, innovative practice cases are presented to illustrate each learning path.

The Dialogue between Higher Education Research and Practice by Roddy Begg Pdf

Largely a product of meetings sponsored by the European Association of Institutional Research (EAIR), these 11 papers examine the state of institutional research into higher education. Presented by Begg (emeritus secretary to the U. of Aberdeen, Scotland), the papers examine the history of EAIR and the field it covers, look at broad issues of research and practice, and discuss a number of current topics and future trends. Institutional self-regulation in Europe, internationalization of higher education, and the economics of higher education are among the specific research and practice issues discussed.

Handbook of Research on Developments and Future Trends in Transnational Higher Education by Morris, Gareth Richard,Li, Li Pdf

Higher education has embraced a period of increasingly rapid development due to the speed of technological advances, increased global competition, an ever more astute and savvier consumer base, and ethical planetary responsibilities. One such educational development is transnational education (TNE). The global pandemic has made TNE a timely topic because traditional international education, which relies on the mobility of staff and students, experienced unprecedented challenges, with borders closed and travel banned. This has presented the international education community with a unique opportunity to reassess the effectiveness and efficiency of transnational activities from a social, ethical, and environmental perspective. The Handbook of Research on Developments and Future Trends in Transnational Higher Education offers a perspective of what the future of TNE may look like, what models of TNE there are, its impact, and what institutions may have to do to be successful moving forward. Universities around the world are growing their TNE partnerships. This reference book explores the benefits TNE can offer universities, staff, and students, while increasing its global outlook and capabilities. It further provides concrete suggestions to readers considering this. Covering topics such as employability skill enhancement, formative assessment, and online higher education, this major reference work is an excellent resource for faculty and administrators of higher education, teacher educators, entrepreneurs, researchers, librarians, and academicians.

Innovative Learning Environments in STEM Higher Education by Jungwoo Ryoo,Kurt Winkelmann Pdf

As explored in this open access book, higher education in STEM fields is influenced by many factors, including education research, government and school policies, financial considerations, technology limitations, and acceptance of innovations by faculty and students. In 2018, Drs. Ryoo and Winkelmann explored the opportunities, challenges, and future research initiatives of innovative learning environments (ILEs) in higher education STEM disciplines in their pioneering project: eXploring the Future of Innovative Learning Environments (X-FILEs). Workshop participants evaluated four main ILE categories: personalized and adaptive learning, multimodal learning formats, cross/extended reality (XR), and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). This open access book gathers the perspectives expressed during the X-FILEs workshop and its follow-up activities. It is designed to help inform education policy makers, researchers, developers, and practitioners about the adoption and implementation of ILEs in higher education.

State and Market in Higher Education Reforms by Hans G. Schuetze,Germán Álvarez Mendiola,Diane Conrad Pdf

Universities have never been static. Even so, it is fair to say they have experienced a most radical transformation in the past twenty years. During this period, the role and responsibility of the state generally have been broadly limited while allowing ‘market forces’--private ownership and control--more influence. But even where the state is still the main provider or funder, it relies increasingly on ‘market mechanisms’, for example contractual relations between state and institutions, competition among providers for resources, and external assessment of ‘outputs’ which means the results or impact of what universities do, in particular teaching and research. The new terminology speaks of price and competition, inputs and outputs, resources, cost and benefits, demand and supply, provider and customer, consumers and investors, quality control and accountability. Education, and post-secondary education especially are increasingly seen as matters for markets. Formal post-secondary education becomes a service, commercialized and traded across national borders. This volume on changing relationship between state and market, contains, besides an introductory analytic overview of the issues, accounts from different countries, regions, and thematic perspectives. Chapter authors describe and analyze government reforms and other developments that have directly or indirectly affected this relationship. Although the geographical focus is on North America, especially Mexico, South East Asia and Europe, the phenomenon is not limited to these regions and countries but worldwide.
