The Trouble with Diversifying the Faculty

Author(s): Walter Benn Michaels / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2012

This article presents the problem of politics of di erence realized within the American educational system, with a special emphasis on higher education. This politics is according to the author based on putting in the center of all educational actions the idea of diversity, as well in creating academic institutions. This key idea becomes in the American context a special significance, regarding the fact that the American society is based on ideology that celebrates multiculturalism and diversity as such. This article presents also an important for the contemporary situation in the United States problem of combining cultural and ethnic diversity on the economical category of di erence between various classes. Furthermore, it seems to be more significant in the light of the economic crisis in recent years that affected also American education in the same extent.

"Bermanov dosje", moje pripombe

Author(s): Janko Pleterski / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 1/2001

Če vzamemo v roke spomine akademika profesorja dr. Aleksandra Bajta, vidimo, da opisujejo, vsaj v delu, kjer zadevajo njegovo bivanje v Italiji od jeseni 1943 in v prvih mesecih 1944, pričakovano neobičajne doživljaje. Nakazal jih je namreč že v svoji biografiji univerzitetnega učitelja, objavljeni v letu 1957.2 V primerjavi s tistim, kar je o svojem pohajanju po italijanskih gričih napisal takrat, je veličanje sicer nekoliko skromnejše, toda opisi so vzlic temu zanimivi in lepo berljivi. Ni šlo za neuspešne diverzantske podvige v ta namen posebej zbrane skupine, ampak za veliko manjše ambicije, četudi ne za manj tvegane in manj mučne doživljaje. Mladi Aleksander Bajt takrat iz Ljubljane ni "emigriral" pred Nemci, pač pa zato, ker se je bal, da bi ga v domačih hribih partizani kar umorili, čeprav je bil le manj pomemben član Narodne legije.

"First in Line". Student Assessments of Pioneering Examples of Blended Learning

Author(s): Roderick Flynn / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

This paper presents a study of how a cohort of students respond when they encounter a single module delivered via a blended/flipped learning approach at a point when the rest of their learning occurs in more traditional face-to-face learning environments. The study is based on a case study at the School of Communications, Dublin City University where the author has pioneered online delivery of module content blended with F2F moderation of small-scale seminar sessions based on the online content. The paper introduces the practical difficulties – for both tutor and student – of “being first” in the sense of creating course content and learning to interpret/process content delivered in a non-traditional fashion.

"UNIWERSYTET JEST NAJWAŻNIEJSZY”. Stefana Sawickiego idea katolickiej universitas studiorum

Author(s): Henryk Duda / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

The article discusses the publications by Stefan Sawicki (a scholar born in 1927) on the idea of the Catholic university. According to Sawicki, the most important issue in this fi eld is the relation between science and faith (ratio et fides), and the resulting question about the university’s identity, in particular about the marks of a Catholic university. The other issues, such as procedures of giving names to Catholic universities, their research fi elds, the proper size of a Catholic university, and the balance between the university’s openness to ‘others’ and its guarding its identity, stem directly from this crucial issue. While Stefan Sawicki’s writings will not provide a ready-made answer to the question of how a Catholic university should be structured or how it should function at a given time in history, they may inspire a “reflection and debate on what the university of this type should (and can) be like today, in particular in modernday Poland” (Stefan Sawicki, On the Catholic University, Lublin: Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL, 2012, 8). Sawicki adds: “It might be commendable not to limit the debate in question to the general formulas of the Catholicity of a university, but rather to point how the Catholicity in question should be implemented in the academic practice” (ibidem). The questions raised by Sawicki pertain to an issue which cannot be disregarded also outside the scope of his work.

(Nie)moce kształcenia historycznego w Polsce. Głos w dyskusji

Author(s): Arnold Kłonczyński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

There is an ongoing discussion on the crisis of humanistic education at universities. The causes of this phenomenon are considered to be the Bologna system introduced several years ago, the low qualifications of candidates, the introduction of the educational effects described by the National Qualifications Frameworks as well as the system of financing higher education institutions. One should remember in this discussion about the arguments for the maintenance of the Bologna system, which gives an opportunity to extend the offers of universities and to modify them. The academic community protests against the attempt to surrender the education to the discipline of the labour market. The commercialization of education is clearly visible in the presently used dehumanised terminology, in which universities ‘render educational services’ and education has become a service (production). The proposed solutions, e.g. the establishment of so-called ‘flagship universities’, may divide the academic community and lead to the crisis that will overshadow the present one.

(Nie)zależność doktoranta w kształtowaniu drogi badawczej na podstawie ustawy Prawo o szkolnictwie wyższym i nauce

Author(s): Izabela Florczak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 25/2020

Pursuant to the Act on higher education and science, PhD students are educated at a doctoral school. The PhD student prepares a dissertation under the supervision of a supervisor (sometimes also an auxiliary supervisor) leading his scientific path based on the training program and individual research plan. The research work of the doctoral student remains independent as it was in the previous legal reality. However, the degree of PhD students` impact on the research path is much greater. A PhD student remains part of the institutionalized system, in which he has to perform certain duties and through which he is evaluated for the progress of his research. The PhD students` dependence is also related to non-legal factors – individual personnel relations. The presented text covers the situation of the doctoral student on all the above mentioned criteria creating a coherent picture of his (in)dependence in shaping the research route.

(Self) Evaluation of Knowledge in Students’ Population in Higher Education in Macedonia

Author(s): Lupco Kevereski / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Students’ assessment, in general, observed through a socio-historical prism, has always beentreatedas an extremely sensitive, current, significant, indicative and continuously present phenomenon. In that respect, what is especially relevant is that for a very long time docimological procedures and their effects have been focused on following only the primary and secondary schools’ student population and they were expected to be an integral part of the teachers’ professional practice. But, when the first book on evaluation in higher education appeared in the UK some 30 years ago, there were some fierce reactions to it. Thus, Hounsell (2003) points out that this topic has become so controversial, frightening and even offensive for many university professors. However, today it is considered that a good practitioner is the one who reviews his own practice and who evaluates the teaching process from the learners’ perspective (Brown, Fry & Marshall, 2003). Therefore, the underlying motivation for conducting this research was the fundamental issue of students’ self-evaluation of their achievements.The main objective of this study is to determine whether there is compatibility of the students’ self-assessment of their achievements with the professors’ evaluation of students’ achievements. To that end, we applied a transparent procedure for collecting information involving a self-evaluation sheet and an interview technique in the context of the following university courses: general psychology, developmental psychology and social psychology. The preliminary results point to a high percentage of correspondence betweenthe students and professor’s evaluation. The expected outcome of this research is to promote this type of evaluation approach and to turn it into a common practice in higher education as it can contribute greatly to amplifying the quality of students’ self-assessment on the one hand, and the teachers’ interest in bettering the existing modes of students’ evaluation on the other hand.

(Un)professionalisation or (Re)professionalisation of the Academic in the Brave New World?

Author(s): Maria Jose Sa,Carlos Miguel Ferreira,Sandro Serpa / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

In this article, we seek to provide an answer to the following research question: Is the academic profession, as a profession, going through a process of increasing proletarianisation, which is influenced by the new mission that is being implemented in universities (in a broad sense), in the sense of un-professionalisation, or are there new conditions for academics’ re-professionalisation experienced as a challenge? A meta-analysis of publications that focus directly on this topic was carried out, specifically through a conceptual analysis of the most recent literature addressing this topic. It is concluded that, in general, and notwithstanding institutional, local, regional, national and international specificities, there is some degree of academic’s un-professionalisation resulting from an increase in the functions ascribed to him/her by the political dimension that, in a context of increasing instability and control of his/her activity through the quantity and intensity of the functions to be carried out, may call into question academic autonomy, a basic foundation of the University. However, and concurrently with this un-professionalisation, there is a new context which could, under certain conditions, foster the enormous challenge of re-professionalisation (limited and under new conditions). As an implication of this work, there is a need to rethink this situation, which, if continued and deepened, will call into question the academic profession in some of its central dimensions, which may jeopardise the future sustainable development of our societies.

10 Key Criteria to Manage and Sustain e-Feedback in Written Assignments

Author(s): Teresa Guasch,Anna Espasa,Rosa M. Mayordomo / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

This paper proposal contributes research evidence to help unravel how to sustain and maintain online formative feedback in online learning environments from a dialogical perspective (Nicol, 2010; Beaumont, O’Doherty & Shannon, 2011; Carless, 2013). Feedback is not a static action of providing support to the learner in one direction; on the contrary, it is a complex process that includes how the feedback is received and utilised by the learner. Following Dysthe, Lillejord, Vines and Wason (2010), feedback is defined as a loop which includes the process of giving or delivering feedback (by teachers and/or peers), processing it and implementing it in an improved product. This paper will present different strategies focused on feedback when developing written assignments. It will suggest how to design, deliver and provide feedback to learners in online learning environments in order for feedback to become an effective support which contributes to implement changes into the final texts and consequently to students’ learning.

10 Years of Learning Design at the Open University: Evolution, Findings and Future Direction

Author(s): Gerald Evans / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Over the past 10 years The Open University has embedded an institutional approach to Learning Design, with use of the approach mandated as part of the curriculum design process.This paper will explore how that approach has developed over time, as practitioners have learnt from and developed the offering, and as requirements on the institution and on curriculum production have changed. This evolution has seen the approach develop into an end-to-end process of design and evaluation and brought to bear the power of learning analytics into curriculum design.The paper will also explore the various internal and external research outputs, synthesising these into some key lessons that have been learnt over the past ten years. Finally, the paper will look ahead, to see how the next ten years might look and how the role of Learning Design may adapt over this time.

And years go by ...... Inside, people can stop in the world, but what they never stop is time. Time is the river of our life. It is day by day, year after year, and we sometimes get to see it flowing in order to realize a certain milestone in our lives. In this period, we recall the milestone of ten years of establishment of a detached workplace of the University of Health and Social Work, Elizabeth, based in Bratislava in Partizánske, covered with two patrons, namely St. Cyril and Method. This milestone was one of the most important events in the district of Partizánske, as well as in the district itself. I have the honor to honor you today for the occasion of the XIV. Scientific Conference with International Participation under the title "Health and Social Issues of the Regions in the 21st Century" to familiarize themselves with the very origins and ten - year history of our institute. It all began with the idea of establishing a Partizan college which, by its origins, moved the city and gave it credit to the university city.

100 години езиково обучение в Икономическия университет – Варна

Author(s): Vladimir Dosev / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 6/2020

The University of Economics – Varna was founded on May 14, 1920 and this year it celebrates its 100th anniversary. Already in the first university curricula very serious attention was paid to the foreign language training of the future economists, and the number of foreign language classes exceeded the number of classes in any other subject. Prominent philologists who had graduated abroad were recruited to teach foreign languages, and foreign nationals were regularly invited to deliver lectures at the University. Two of the foreign language professors were elected rectors of the University. The purpose of this article is to outline the role of languages in the first university curricula (1920 – 1940 г.) and to promote the names and work of the first language teachers at the University of Economics – Varna.
