This article explores the theoretical foundations of social cohesion as it relates to higher education institutions. In so doing it seeks (a) to understand the core elements of social cohesion—social
capital, human capital and ethical behavioural norms that serve a common good—and (b) to establish a flexible framework for
understanding the combined contributions of higher education to society. Tertiary institutional phenomena (those occurring
in higher education) that are involved in the creation of social cohesion are hereafter termed academic social cohesion. The particular emphasis is on higher education’s role in cultivating moral awareness as a vital product of institutions’
primary activities. These core functions of colleges and universities are discussed in relation to both academic social cohesion
and the degree to which they should involve the creation of specific ethical norms.

高校管理制度中存在着合法性危机,其具体表现有:高校凝聚力低,"离散现象"普遍存在;教学对高校和教师来说,只是一种"谋生手段",而不是一种"生存方式";高校内个体"原子化"。合法性危机的起点就在于一些制度的程序不合法,高校内的正式制度表达与制度实践相背离加剧了制度的合法性危机,社会转型过程中,高校管理的"合法性资源"日益稀缺,管理理念相对滞后。 相似文献

Since the late 1990s the Chinese government has implemented two key policies for the development of higher education. The
first was launching Project 985, with the purpose of seeking excellence through creating internationally competitive universities.
The second was a radical move to a mass system of higher education. In this context, China’s top universities have faced dual
missions, each with their challenges: playing key roles in the revolutionary expansion process on the one hand and closing
the gap between them and top universities around the world through the implementation of Project 985, on the other. It is
thus important to know about how these institutions have transformed themselves for excellence through the implementation
of these policies. With the three cases of Peking, Nanjing and Xiamen Universities, this paper aims to examine each institutional
response and the broad changes that have come about in these top Chinese comprehensive universities. It looks especially at
the divergent trajectories these institutions have followed in balancing their elite and mass education functions, their global,
national and local missions, the pursuit of excellence alongside of a commitment to equity, efforts at curricular comprehensivization
while preserving unique historical strengths, and finally globalization and localization. From two higher education frameworks,
one based on epistemological considerations and the other on political philosophy, that are equally important in light of
China’s traditions, the paper concludes that Chinese universities will continuously but selectively respond to the national
expansion policy with various institutional models of seeking excellence that enable them to contribute to Chinese society
and the global community in the future. 相似文献

The article describes institutional change in the Spanish higher education system over the past two decades. It singles out four variables in explaining this change: (i) demography, (ii) economic environment (the so-called knowledge society), (iii) the role and interests of academics and politicians, and (iv) the supranational stimulus to converge (Bologna Process).
Although after Franquism each of these factors had notable consequences on tertiary education, at least initially it seems that supply-side factors were very important in sustaining institutional change in Spanish universities. Above all, politicians and regional governments boosted democratisation by opening new universities (which since 1980s have increased in number from 32 to 70), by lowering entrance requirements, and by keeping fees low. At the end of the 1990s, European declarations (Sorbonne, Bologna) increased the significance of Europe, with a twofold effect: they induced governments to introduce change in higher education systems (convergence), but they also highlighted the difficulty of combining the role of the state (as signatory to international declarations) and peripheral institutions ( Comunidades autónomas and autonomous universities). 相似文献

Japanese flagship universities at a crossroads 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2
Akiyoshi Yonezawa 《Higher Education》2007,54(4):483-499
The increasing pace and scope of global structural change has left Japanese flagship universities at a crossroads. Reflecting
upon historical trends, current policy changes and respective institutional strategies for global marketing among Japanese
top research universities, the author discusses possible future directions for these institutions and how key decisions may
be influenced by selected national policies. By taking a more active role in building flagship universities and making use
of higher education for social and economic development, the Japanese government has already taken concrete measures to keep
apace with higher education policies of neighboring Asian countries. However, in the author’s view, whether or not Japan can
truly develop and maintain world-class universities ultimately depends on an overall improvement in the status of East Asian
higher education. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to analyze the introduction of the performance-based pay system (PPS) in Korean national universities through the perspective of institutional isomorphism. Using three isomorphism concepts of coercive, mimetic, and normative, and further framing the PPS within the overarching theoretical frameworks of governmentality, neoliberalism, myth, and policy convergence, this study explored the historical and social background of the PPS, the reason the Korean government pursued the PPS form used in the US higher education, and the main factors that affected its introduction in Korean national universities. The result of this analysis shows that while the institutionalization of the PPS in Korean national universities seemed closely associated with the radical political, economic change in Korean society, it was in fact an exemplar of isomorphism from the US model of public and private higher education. This isomorphic activity functioned simultaneously as a norm, social order, and myth within Korean higher education while faculty displayed an anti-isomorphic tendency against the power of the institutional isomorphism of PPS in national universities. 相似文献

This study employed data mining and quantitative methods to collect and analyze the available histories of primary Twitter accounts of institutions of higher education in the U.S. (n?=?2411). The study comprises a sample of 5.7 million tweets, representing 62 % of all tweets created by these accounts and the entire population of U.S. colleges and universities. With this large, generalizable dataset, researchers were able to determine that the preponderance of institutional tweets are 1) monologic, 2) disseminate information (vs. eliciting action), 3) link to a relatively limited and insular ecosystem of web resources, and 4) express neutral or positive sentiment. While prior research suggests that social media can serve as a vehicle for institutions to extend their reach and further demonstrate their value to society, this article provides empirical and generalizable evidence to suggest that such innovation, in the context of institutional social media use, is limited. 相似文献

Research on inequality in higher education (HE) is often dominated by class-based assumptions about traditional and non-traditional students. This binary distinction emphasising students’ socio-economic status tends to oversimply the complexity of educational inequality, neglecting crucial factors which affect the perception of social position. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the understanding of inequalities in HE with new data on the meaning of locality, using evidence from comparative studies of institutions. Locality is interpreted as an inclusive concept capturing place identity as well as local attachments based on language, culture and the natural environment. The qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 192 participants in three distinctly different HE institutions, which were deliberately selected according to their socio-economic, cultural, and institutional status. This mixed methods research confirms the importance of different types of belonging at institutional, local and national levels, and their different effects on student groups. The study captures to what extent geographical mobility is associated with social class, by examining students’ sense of belonging and their interpretation of locality in universities across Wales. It challenges the notion of disadvantaged background, and poses a critical question about cultural and geographical familiarity. This study therefore enriches the current debates about the impact of social inequality alongside social class on students’ belonging, success and retention in HE. 相似文献

Recent changes in European higher education have accompanied a strong desire and need by national ministries to have comparable data across institutions and a growing recognition from campus leaders that effective planning and decision-making requires reliable institutional data and analyses. This has induced changes and restructuring of duties and roles of administration, administrative staff and academic staff. In North America, internal institutional data analysis is often referred to as institutional research. We examine the roles and functions of institutional research within North America and how the changes within European higher education have created a purpose for institutional research. Specifically, we explore the topical areas of institutional assessment, data management, institutional governance, as well asthe changing identity of academic professionals within European universities. Within our examination, we explore in-depth one European country’s higher education system to demonstrate how history, culture and legislative changes manifest into a need for institutional research. 相似文献

An important development in the post-apartheid South Africa was a departure from apartheid education through an outcomes-based curriculum reform. This resulted in several structural and policy tensions within the system. This paper highlights how these tensions have played themselves out and shows how government and stakeholders have addressed the challenges emanating from them. The paper argues that the tensions that dominated the post-apartheid curriculum reform have resulted in a significant paradigm shift focused on reclaiming knowledge and cognition in the classroom as expressed in the new revisionism in curriculum debate. From a policy point of view, it argues that the South African experience demonstrates how the pursuit of grand philosophies and ideals such as OBE and curriculum 2005 requires, at both macro and micro, systemic and institutional levels, generally and at the level of detail, a great deal of technical and political skills that cannot be achieved overnight. This calls for realism and pragmatism in school reform by focusing attention not only on what schools in society stand for but also on what they can realistically do and achieve, given their legacies and the particular circumstances in which they operate. 相似文献

This article offers some thoughts on the idea that universities can and should contribute to the development of social capital in countries undergoing profound social change, like Bulgaria. It discusses the role of universities in the transformation and development of civil society through an examination of institutional capacities for innovation and change. An analysis of the new responsibilities assumed through the social mission of universities reveals obstacles to the implementation of their strategies for the development of human capital. A consideration of the policy context identifies two different policy approaches to higher education that give rise to contrasting strategies for change. These are further explored in terms of institutional employment‐related strategies and policies for the transmission of cultural values. 相似文献
