英国“后大众化”高等教育的公平问题及其应对策略

高等教育"后大众化"是高等教育大众化进程中的新现象,是高等教育发展转型期的一种趋势。英国高等教育针对"后大众化"转型期基于教育公平发展的特点,采取的完善入学政策、建立服务机构、健全资助体系、完善评估体制、关注教育质量等推进高等教育公平的措施,对我国高等教育的未来发展有重要的启示和借鉴意义。     

高等教育大众化进程中高等职业教育发展研究

华东师范大学2008届博士付雪凌在其博士学位论文中指出，高等教育大众化强调的演进，是由以精英高等教育模式居统治地位的阶段发展为以大众高等教育模式居统治地位的阶段，在演进的过程中，高等教育大众化对高等职业教育产生了重要的影响。作者以美国、英国、台湾分别为高等教育大众化的发展模式的典型代表，从高等教育大众化引发的规模变化与高等职业教育系统变革的应对；高等教育大众化引发的规模增长与高等职业教育的财政；     

英国高校学生事务专业化发展及其启示

英国高校具有学生支持的优良传统。随着高等教育大众化的发展,英国高校的学生事务也经历了深刻的变革,逐步从传统的辅导模式走向专业化模式。这一发展演变的过程不仅反映英国高等教育发展变化的客观需要,同时也是学生事务继承传统和不断创新的结果。这对高等教育大众化发展过程中我国高校学生工作的变革具有重要启示。     

英国高等教育的数量发展和质量监控

20世纪60年代以来，英国加快了高等教育大众化步伐，高等教育数量迅速发展；与此同时，为了保证英国高等教育的质量声誉，英国又采取一系列措施加强对高等教育的质量监控。     

社会“麦当劳化”理论与英国的高等教育质量评估

论文分析了英国高等教育在大众化阶段和“市场化”趋势下的高等教育政策以及高等教育质量评估的利弊,揭示了当今英国高等教育的现状。文章分别从两个方面评介了英国的高等教育现状：一方面,在高等教育大众化阶段,里茨尔的社会“麦当劳化”理论影响了英国现代高等教育的发展和英国政府高等教育政策_的制定;另一方面,在高等教育“市场化”趋势下,英国政府主导的高等教育质量评估纠正了过分“市场化”的偏向,但同时也带来一些负面的影响。

从英国高等教育双重制的兴衰看我国高等教育大众化的制度选择

我国当前正向高等教育大众化迈进 ,高等职业教育成为高等教育大众化进程中的生力军。在这一过程中 ,处理好高等职业教育的地位及其与普通高等教育的关系问题至关重要。英国高等教育双重制是英国向高等教育大众化发展进程中产生的高等教育结构制度 ,其兴衰可以为我们提供丰富的启示。本文还简要分析了我国在《面向 2 1世纪教育振兴行动计划》中提出的“立交桥制度”。     

文化视野中的高等教育大众化进程——英美比较的视角及其启示

高等教育大众化不仅受制予各国的经济发展水平和政治制度,而且在更深层次的意义上,文化传统对高等教育大众的影响更为持久.英国绅士文化传统及其"学术金本位"的价值取向使英国高等教育大众化不仅速度慢,而且大众化程度也不高.而美国实用主义文化传统影响下的高等教育大众化以其开放性和多样性成为各国高等教育大众化的榜样.但是国与国之间、民族与民族之间都会有互不相同的文化传统,在向其他国家学习的过程中,把政策制定建立在科学分析各自文化传统基础上,本国高等教育才能形成特色,不断发展.     

英国高等教育质量理论研究述评

随着英国高等教育大众化进程的发展，英国高等教育理论界掀起了探讨高等教育质量理论的热潮。本文对他们讨论的一些重要问题作了简要的述评，如高等教育的本质和特征与高等教育质量的关系、什么是高等教育的质量、传统质量观与新质量观的特征及其基本主张等。     

The development of the special educational needs coordinator role in a higher education setting

UK higher education appears to have generally been slow to adopt an organised means of provision for special educational needs for its students. This may be due to the fact that, historically, relatively few disabled students entered UK higher education. However, there is a growing number of disabled students entering UK higher education institutions, and the figure is likely to increase. It is therefore important and, under the UK Special Educational Needs and Disability Act (2001), legally binding, that UK higher education institutions make appropriate adjustments to their activities so as not to disadvantage or discriminate against disabled students. In this article Mark Taylor examines the development of the special educational needs coordinator role in a higher education setting based upon a two‐year case study in a UK university.     

英国高等教育财政模式及其改革趋势

英国高等教育财政模式是学院模式的代表，其教育资源的分配是通过拨款委员会进行的。但近年来，由于受教育大众化、市场化等因素的影响，英国高等教育财政已经进行改革，并以资金来源的多元化、财政自主化等为发展目标。文章通过对现行英国高等教育财政模式和改革趋势进行分析，以期对我国高等教育财政改革有所启示。     

Consumerisation in UK higher education business schools: higher fees,greater stress and debatable outcomes

For many UK higher education business schools, the continued recruitment of UK, EU and international students is crucial for financial stability, viability and independence. Due to increasingly competitive funding models across the sector, many institutional leaders and administrators are making decisions typical of highly marketised consumer environments. Thus, this paper explores academics’ perceptions of the impact of consumerisation in UK higher education business schools. To achieve this, 22 business school academics were interviewed within three UK higher education institutions (HEIs) in the North of England. Participants had a minimum of three years teaching experience. Data was analysed using template analysis taking an interpretive approach. The findings indicate that academics perceived the introduction of tuition fees to have been the catalyst for students increasing demonstration of customer-like behaviour: viewing the education process as transactional, with the HEI providing a ‘paid for’ service. It is argued that these changes in UK higher education have created tensions between university leaders and academics, creating genuine dilemmas for those with decision-making responsibilities who must balance academic integrity and long-term institutional financial viability.     

英国大学教学卓越框架(TEF)对国际学生流动的影响

英国高等教育一直以悠久的历史和优质的教育享誉全球。随着现代高等教育国际化和市场化程度不断加深,为了保持英国大学的国际竞争力和影响力,并进一步扩大英国高等教育优势,英国政府于2016年5月颁布了教学卓越框架(Teaching Excellence Framework),旨在改善英国高校教学质量,平衡教学与科研地位,改善学生就读体验,因此具有重大变革意义。同时,英国作为世界第二大教育输出国,其国际学生以庞大的基数成为英国高等教育中极具特殊性的参与群体,而教学卓越框架的颁布对其信息搜集、择校选择、权益保护和就读体验等方面产生了深远影响。

The distribution of EU students and staff at UK universities: patterns and trends

The mobility of EU students and staff is threatened by Brexit, as the favourable conditions allowing for a frictionless cross-border academic learning and scientific research base are renegotiated at the highest political levels, including the pre-Brexit freedom of movement of persons and home fees for EU students. However, the UK higher education system is highly differentiated, and its hierarchical nature implies that criteria such as age, history, geographical location, economic resources, research activity, teaching quality, academic selectivity and socioeconomic student mix will have important ramifications when assessing the vulnerabilities of UK higher education institutions and the internationalisation of UK higher education should the UK leave the EU.

     

The Accumulation of Cultural Capital: The Funding of UK Higher Education in the Twentieth Century

Recent discussion of future models for development in UK higher education pay insuffcient attention to the long-term structural development of higher education systems in Europe and the USA. It is argued that, contrary to widespread belief, the US system has itselfrelied heavily on state and federal funding since the period of its major expansion in the inter-war period. It is also suggested that the problem with the UK higher education sector is that is has always lacked the level of private funding available to the US system. There are therefore few grounds to support the view that expansion of the UK higher education sector can be based on an increased level of private finance; this has never been available to a signifiant degree, and even the US system does not noeo rely on it as much as on state funding.     

A Cloistered Virtue? Pedagogical Research and Policy in UK Higher Education

Educational research is under challenge in the UK. Although the current focus of the challenge is school education, pedagogical research in higher education is not immune from collateral effects. This article examines the relevance of the 'educational research debate' to pedagogical research in UK higher education; outlines the conflicting pressures on pedagogical research; argues a case for an increase in the value placed on pedagogical research; and indicates some policy options through which the status of pedagogical research in higher education could be raised.
