Описание: Quality in higher education was not invented in recent decades - universities have always possessed mechanisms for assuring the quality of their work. The rising concern over quality is closely related to the changes in higher education and its social context. Among others, the most conspicuous changes are the massive expansion, diversification, and increased cost in higher education and the new mechanisms of accountability initiated by the state. With these changes, the traditional, internally enacted academic quality-keeping has been given an important external dimension - quality assurance - which requires higher education institutions to continuously demonstrate and improve performance and also provides new systems of rewards and sanctions. However, the complex impacts of quality assurance policies have shown a need to further understand the quality issue in higher education.
This book is about constructing a more inclusive understanding of quality in higher education through combining the macro, meso, and micro levels, i.e. from the perspectives of national policy, higher education institutions as organizations in society, individual teaching staff, and students. It covers both theoretical constructions for understanding quality and empirical investigation in the Chinese context. The questions addressed include:
- How is quality of higher education perceived by the institution, teaching staff. and students, respectively? - What are the main concerns for the institution, teaching staff, and students in their own pursuit of quality?
It has been concluded that quality of higher education is not only about educational quality but also about expanding the life chances for the students, the prosperity in the administrative system for the teaching staff, and the organizational prosperity for the institution. With regard to quality assurance and accountability in higher education, special attention should be given to the values pursued and to providing a careful balance between immediate, single-value efficiency and sustainable development and a wider-range of values that higher education serves.

Описание: Exploring the Opportunities and Challenges of Medical Students begins with a systematic review of quality improvement curricula for medical students to identify current training techniques, learning outcomes, opportunities, and challenges to the implementation of quality improvement curricula. Following this, the authors describe the curricula and analyze results from two short term programs: a summer research and scholarly program between the first and second year of medical school, and research rotation electives offered to third- and fourth- year students. The authors also discuss the rationale for developing physician-leaders, review the need for incorporating leadership development programs in medical curriculum, and discuss the best practices of formulating such programs and their expected challenges. This compilation goes on to compare first and third year medical students commitments in relation to idealism, as several works have demonstrated that idealism decreases as the students progress in their career, partially due to the hidden curriculum. Using questionnaires as data collection instruments, one included paper reports on the qualitative analysis of responses and subsequent discussion in English, including implications and recommendations for Saudi Arabian medical education authorities to better achieve the objectives of medical education through the medium of language instruction. Lastly, this collection describes the notion of physicians social skills (with emphasis on shaping social skills in medical students during their studies) in Ukraine, a country in which health services have undergone difficult changes after 1991.

Описание: Gender studies in the professional realm has long been a heavily researched field, with many feminist texts studying topics including the wage gap and family life. However, female administration in higher education remains largely understudied, particularly on the influence of personal, professional, and societal factors on women. There is a need for studies that seek to understand how gender intersects with the multiple dimensions of women leaders’ personhoods, such as family status, marital status, age, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, to inform women’s career path experiences and leadership aspirations.Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Higher Education Leadership is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the specific challenges, issues, strategies, and solutions that are associated with diverse leadership in higher education. While highlighting topics such as educational administration, leader mentorship, and professional promotion, this publication explores evidence-based professional practice for women in higher education who are currently in or are seeking positions of leadership, as well as the methods of nurturing women in administrative positions. This book is ideally designed for educators, researchers, academicians, scholars, policymakers, educational administrators, graduate-level students, and pre-service teachers seeking current research on the state of educational leadership in regard to gender.
