Item description from seller

430 S., Abb. Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - The central focus of this book is the concept of higher education reform in the light of an international and global comparative perspective. After decades of far-reaching reform, higher education around the world has profoundly changed and now has to face the challenges of the present. This volume takes a close look at these changes, the drivers of change, their effects and possible future scenarios. In their contributions the authors discuss a variety of basic concepts: learning and teaching in higher education; financing and quality assurance; governance change; massification vs. equity and equality; internationalization and mobility, the implementation of lifelong structures in higher education. - Contents: Ulrich Teichler: The Future of Higher Education: A View Reflecting the State and the Tasks of Higher Education Research -- Peter Scott: Mass to Market Higher Education Systems: New Transitions or False Dawn? -- Pavel Zgaga: How to Gain Global Connectivity While Retaining Respect for Local Variations?
