Описание:
Between 1945 and 1990 the United States built the largest and most productive higher education system in world history. Over the last two decades, however, dramatic budget cuts to public academic services and skyrocketing tuition have made college completion more difficult for many. Nevertheless, the democratic promise of education and the global competition for educated workers mean ever growing demand.
Remaking College considers this changing context, arguing that a growing accountability revolution, the push for greater efficiency and productivity, and the explosion of online learning are changing the character of higher education.
Writing from a range of disciplines and professional backgrounds, the contributors each bring a unique perspective to the fate and future of U.S. higher education. By directing their focus to schools doing the lion's share of undergraduate instruction—community colleges, comprehensive public universities, and for-profit institutions—they imagine a future unencumbered by dominant notions of "traditional" students, linear models of achievement, and college as a four-year residential experience. The result is a collection rich with new tools for helping people make more informed decisions about college—for themselves, for their children, and for American society as a whole.
Описание: Contributes to the global debate on sustainability in higher education, and in particular to the transition of higher education institutions to a low carbon economy. The transition of higher education institutions towards a low carbon economy is aligned with the Paris Agreement, and with Sustainable Development Goal 13.

Описание: Multiple scholars and practitioners provide models and theories to understand the inter-organizational relationships between businesses and higher education. This work illuminates the complexities, expectations and long-term impact of such relationships.
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: The experts and practitioners contributing to this volume reveal a complex reality of HEI today. The book links the debate on education to topical issues in politics, society and economy, including questions of technological progress, social responsibility, sustainability, well-being and, broadly understood, resilience.
Описание: Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) – public and private universities and colleges – have long demonstrated their resilience; bouncing back, surviving and thriving in crises. The Covid-19 pandemic is perhaps the greatest disrupter of education systems in history, having impacted an estimated 1.6 billion learners in over 190 countries, and laid bare the weaknesses and challenges faced by HEIs. In this book, Lloyd Waller, proposes the adoption of a digital transformation strategy for HEIs and presents a strategic framework for not only understanding the issues at play within HEIs but also, shares a model providing a detailed step by step guide for planning and implementation. Free of technical language and therefore accessible to the administrator, technocrat, and manager alike, the concepts are broken down and easily understandable by any one working on any aspect of a digital transformation strategy for an HEI.
This book uses the life stories of principals of higher education institutions in Barbados to assert that since lives are socially constructed and our biographies or stories can influence our professional life, it is important to not only listen to the personal stories or narratives of those whose professional lives and actions have public social consequences but more importantly through a life history methodology, also to contextualize those stories. In so doing there is better understanding of what motives or values persons bring to their professional practice, particularly too, if those missions and values emanate from a colonial hegemony still in existence within a postcolonial society. Persons could be causing harm or doing what is beneficial. They need to know what they are perpetuating and why. This book is primarily for those with interests in domination, power, capitalism, colonialism and neocolonialism; those planning professional development courses for teachers, principals and administrators in the field of education and other areas of professional practice; life history researchers; auto-ethnographers; postgraduate students and qualitative researchers in higher education, specifically and education, generally.

“Jean Butcher-Lashley has made a unique contribution to the literature around teachers’ lives and careers in general and those of Caribbean teachers in particular. Taking a decolonising life history which considers individuals’ personal and professional narratives in the contexts of the times through which they lived, this fascinating book gives important insights into how and why Barbadian higher education principals’ careers evolved as they did and what the consequences for the country’s education system have been.”—Pat Sikes, Professor of Qualitative Inquiry, University of Sheffield

“This book is of considerable importance, not just in the contingent area of understanding Barbadian higher education principals’ motives and missions—but because it takes an important life history approach. This approach looks at de-colonising the accounts that are given, so as to give us a broader picture of how professional life histories are conceptualised and constructed. The book essentially contextualises each of the life history profiles, in a way that allows us to see the effect of colonisation and the effect of time and place on the way that people story their professional lives. This is part of a broader project which well elucidated in the book on ‘Understanding Pervasive Patterns of Domination'. The book stands as a useful antidote to those kinds of narrative studies which ignore context and simply concentrate on voice. To make sure that 'voice' is an empowering genre—it is important that 'voice' is located in its contextual landscape. This book is an exemplary piece of work that does this work of contextualising, both energetically and with great erudition. I heartily recommend the book to any readers in life history approaches generally, or those interested in issues of decolonisation and domination.” —Ivor Goodson, Professor of Learning Theory, University of Brighton, Sussex, England

Описание: A well-worn, often-told tale of woe. American higher education has been secularized.Religion on campus has declined, died, ordisappeared. Deemed irrelevant, there is no room for the sacred in American colleges and universities.While the idea thatreligionis unwelcome in higher education is often discussed, and uncritically affirmed, John Schmalzbauer andKathleenMahoney directly challenge thisdominantnarrative. The Resilience of Religion in American Higher Education documents a surprising openness to religion in collegiate communities. Schmalzbauer andMahoneydevelop this claim in three areas: academic scholarship, church-related higher education, and student life. They highlight growing interest in the study of religion across the disciplines, as well as a willingness to acknowledge the intellectual relevance of religious commitments. The Resilience of Religion in American Higher Education also reveals how church-related colleges are taking their founding traditions more seriously, even as they embrace religious pluralism. Finally, the volume chronicles the diversification of student religious life, revealing the longevity of campus spirituality. Far from irrelevant, religion matters in higher education. As Schmalzbauer and Mahoney show, religious initiatives lead institutions to engage with cultural diversity and connect spirituality with academic and student life,heightening attention to the sacredon both secular and church-related campuses.
Описание: The increasing development of partnerships between universities and communities allows the research of academics to become engaged with those around them. This book highlights several case studies from a range of disciplines, such as psychology, social wo
