Abstract

This highly original book analyses the results of a pioneering set of microdata on higher education institutions in 27 European countries in order to address key issues in higher education and research. For the first time, data on individual European higher education institutions (rather than data aggregated at the country level) is used in order to examine a wide range of issues that are both theoretically challenging and relevant from policy-making and societal perspectives. The contributors integrate statistics on universities and colleges with other sources of information such as patents, start-up firms and bibliometric data, and employ rigorous empirical methods to address a range of key questions, including: what is the role of non-university tertiary education such as vocational training? How important is the private sector? Are European universities internationalized? Are they efficient from the point of view of costs and educational output? Are there pure research universities in Europe? How do universities contribute to economic growth? By furthering the current debate on the future and competiveness of the European university model compared to that of the US and Asia, this book will prove an invaluable reference tool for academics and researchers in the fields of sociology of higher education and economics, particularly the economics of innovation, science and education. University decision-makers and administrators as well as policy-makers at local and European levels will also find this book to be a useful and enlightening read.

Abstract

Wanneer academisch onderzoek ideologisch te eenzijdig is, zoals nu het geval is, dan verliezen zowel de wetenschap als de samenleving daarbij.Onpartijdigheid wordt gezien als een belangrijke voorwaarde voor goed wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Maar wat als die onpartijdigheid eigenlijk een illusie is? Hoe links of rechts zijn onze universiteiten? Of beter: hoe links of rechts horen ze te zijn?Is links gewoon slimmer? biedt een analyse van de rol van ideologie in het academisch onderzoek, en beargumenteert dat ideologische diversiteit, eerder dan neutraliteit, belangrijk is voor het maatschappelijke vertrouwen in de wetenschap en de betrouwbaarheid van resultaten. Het toont dat universiteiten inderdaad de linkse bolwerken zijn waarvoor vele rechtse critici ze houden. Daarbij verkent het de oorzaken en de gevolgen van die dominantie, en onderzoekt het de remedies voor die eenzijdigheid.Bovenal pleit dit boek voor een ideologisch diverse en inclusieve universiteit.

Abstract

What are students like as learners as they near the end of compulsory education? The answer matters greatly, not only because those with stronger approaches to learning get better results at school but also because young adults who are able to set learning goals and manage their own learning are much more likely to take up further study and become lifelong learners. This report analyses the results, focusing on students’ motivation, self-beliefs and use of various learning strategies. In particular, it looks at those characteristics that together make it more likely that a student will become a confident and self-managed learner.

Abstract

Research suggests that, when it comes to early childhood education and care, quality matters most. A growing number of countries are establishing monitoring systems to ensure quality and accountability in these programmes. This new publication explores how countries can develop and use these systems to enhance service and staff quality for the benefit of child development. It offers an international perspective and concrete examples to help policy makers, monitoring experts and practitioners in the field develop their own monitoring policies and practices.

Abstract

Those who manage schools and educational systems today have an arduous task as schools everywhere are being asked to do more than ever before. They also face a complex world and seemingly endless pressures on resources and demands for better performance. How are schools and educational systems responding to these major challenges?

It is based on 29 innovative initiatives examined in nine countries: Flanders (Belgium), Greece, Hungary, Mexico, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, England (the United Kingdom) and the United States.
