Ciencia Nueva journal (Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales -UBA, 1970-1974) contains and expresses certain central debates -in particular the tensions between autonomy and state planification at the university and science, and the dispute between universal and national science- concerning the socio historical Argentina and Latin America´s development, whereas the main characters of these debates are intellectuals and scientists connected to FCEN-UBA between 1955 and 1974. The historical, political and academic relevance of the corpus in analysis and the vacancy of its in-depth approach, as well as its specificity as a journal and as an intellectual field of scientists of the sciences, present its study as a contribution to the field of university studies, the field of journals and periodicals studies, and studies on the thinking and history of science and technology. In this article we focus on some findings and definitions related to the journal itself, to the forma revista (S...

S’il etait possible de remonter le temps et que nous choisissions de visiter la ville de Gottingen au XVIIIe siecle, nous serions peut-etre surpris de remarquer le long des murs et des trottoirs de longues eraflures, trace d’une epee ayant, ici ou la, frappe la pierre. Vestige d’une ancienne bataille urbaine ? D’un duel sordide ? Point du tout. Ces eraflures sont en realite le signe d’une pratique etudiante de l’epoque, le « Degenwetsen », c’est-a-dire le fait d’aiguiser son epee et de frappe...

With this proposal, we wish to revisit the Idea of the University in the perspective of the democratic project of the American philosopher and pragmatist John Dewey. Our hypothesis consists in the thesis that the deweyen project confronts the problem of the social distribution of knowledge, in the aim of giving us the means to transform the latter. In this way, if we consider that the university is part of this distribution through its student learning function, then our purpose is to demonstrate that this learning is currently guided by an individual intelligence paradigm harms that the development of collective intelligence. For John Dewey, the latter is one of the central means of his democratic project which would reconcile the Idea of a University with real University institutions. Therefore, according to him, if universities want to contribute to the democratic project, we must adopt a new pedagogical orientation promoting individual and collective intelligence.

This study aims to determine the perceptions of the high school students about the university and the underlying reasons for these perceptions. The model of this study is descriptive, and it is designed based on qualitative research methodology.

Los resultados evidencian una forma particular de concebir el espacio de ayudantía, las condiciones consideradas como necesarias para que se produzca el aprendizaje y las estrategias usadas en su desarrollo. El análisis relacional destaca la ...

Although Marina Lewycka’s novel „A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian” is traditionally mentioned in the context of immigrant literature, it might prove to be more interesting if viewed from the perspective of the academic novel. A satirical image of a desperate thirty-six years old Ukrainian woman Valentina ready to marry a widower in his eighties for the sake of naturalization in the UK often overshadows the image of the British university teacher and this man’s younger daughter Nadezhda, who goes through a tough process of identity (re-)construction while trying to protect her father from the second marriage. Being born, raised, and educated in the UK, being a UK citizen with an active social position, Nadezhda not only holds British values dear, perceives herself as British (in fact born into the family of Ukrainian immigrants), but also as a university professor passes them on to the following generations successfully until the actual “invasion” of the Other into her life t...

Lately, the debates on teaching-practices in the online mode have given grounds to ask a fundamental question, does pedagogy really matter? For educationists, it surely does. But, what idea of pedagogy prevails upon the pedagogues, the teachers, techno-managerial professors, particularly in the higher education? This article rummages through the contemporary milieu that solicits debate on the idea of pedagogy, by and large marginal in the teaching practices in higher education. The structural academic Brahmanism of the ‘old normal’ has been melodramatically palpable in the time of ‘new normal’ too. In the academic years during the COVID-19 pandemic, a phenomenology of teaching practices occasions a polemical realization about limits and possibilities of pedagogy.

This book presents an in-depth look at the state of transnational education and comparative perspectives on education systems between Germany and other nation states. It explores how a transnational education identity in secondary and tertiary institutions has developed in the German and other national contexts and which lessons can be learned from current challenges and successes of education systems. It uses detailed case studies to promote critical rethinking of current educational practices in high schools and universities, specifically of race, gender, religion and learner ability in educational settings. It understands learning and teaching as an arena to discuss transnational education opportunities in the 21st century as an emerging or evolving discourse on contemporary forms of transnationalism.

The focus of the thesis is on the policy changes at the public universities in Croatia in 2001-2013 time period. The topic is approached from historical institutionalism theoretical framework and managed through specific policy change model. The main goal is to explain the policy change in six sub-policies (structure and curriculum, mobility, quality assurance, social dimension, enrollment policy and tuition fees policy) at seven public universities in Croatia after the introduction of the Bologna Process. The model of policy change takes into account institutional framework of the higher education system and policy-actors’ characteristics (strategic interests, beliefs and capacities) in order to explain the process of policy change. Also, the goal is to improve the policy change model in order to make it applicable on other levels of higher education policy and in other public policies. Methodology includes process tracing, directed content analysis (strategic documents of universi...

Los estudiantes universitarios estan permanentemente conectados a Internet y demuestran una notable destreza tecnologica. No obstante, esta no siempre va acompanada de la competencia informacional, entendida como la capacidad critica de buscar, analizar, evaluar y usar informacion de calidad en los ambitos academico y profesional. Este trabajo analiza el nivel de alfabetizacion informacional de los estudiantes al inicio de su carrera, y plantea algunas estrategias para combatir estas carencias.

Tomando como punto de partida y eje de la reflexión algunos aportes de los maestros Manuel F García García, Cristian Pulido Melo y Mateo Salazar Uribe, se analiza la problemática de ¨la inclusión¨ de personas en situación de discapacidad dentro de los programas universitarios, a través de las artes. Primero, presentamos la necesidad de realizar proyectos ambiciosos sobre la inclusión social y los derechos a la igualdad, luego planteamos el arte (en este caso el teatro) como vehículo para llegar a ello y finalmente concluimos con el tema de la universidad sin condición y el aporte que hacemos como docentes en la conformación de persona, ciudadano y mundo.

Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot y R. H. Moreno-Durán fueron escritores muy polémicos y críticos con el devenir intelectual y académico del país en el último medio siglo. Asumiendo como eje de la reflexión la literatura y el hito de la revista Mito en las letras colombianas, aunque desde argumentos opuestos, cada uno se preguntó por la relación universidad-sociedad. El primero, a propósito del reformismo y la herencia de la hispanidad; el segundo, sobre el cuestionamiento a Mayo del 68 y la mística rebelde de una generación que vio morir la utopía en el mismo instante que creía en ella.

The rise of digital journalism is directly related to the development of new technologies in the field of professional practice. This process is revolutionizing the craft of journalism, and especially the tools and techniques which he served. No longer be conceived without internet journalism, and therefore can be said that it is impossible to conceive without journalism journalism or digital cyberjournalism. The crisis of the journal paper, the funding crisis of the press and questioning the traditional model, coupled with the economic and financial crisis of our time, is giving encouraging the consolidation of the final cyberjournalism and new challenges in university education with the final consolidation of new technology in the academic studies in Information Sciences.

Student dropout is a global phenomenon. For many reasons (individual, social, political, economic), it is considered a serious problem. The specialized bibliography usually deals either with all students or it focuses specifically on new students. However, there is not much comparative research on how to structure the thought of dropping out of university between new and experienced students. This is the aim of this text. Based on 1,029 students’ questionnaires, the quantitative study has shown that the way this thought is constructed is differentiated between new and experienced students. In other words, it is made up of a combination of different factors. For new students, the effect of the social representation ‘university’ and the motivation on the basis of this representation play a central role. On the contrary, when it comes to experienced students, the difficulties of university studies and especially the formulated perception of global student life seem to play the key role.

Sebagai negara kecil dan berkembang, pendidikan telah lama menjadi bagian yang sangat penting dalam pembangunan sosial negara. Sebelum Kemerdekaan, sistem pendidikan telah digunakan untuk memisahkan lebih lanjut etnis yang berbeda dan kelompok sosial. Pasca-kemerdekaan, sistem telah menjadi alat penting dalam menyatukan kelompok-kelompok ini dan mengurangi perbedaan-perbedaan antara berbagai ras yang membentuk keragaman populasi Malaysia. Malaysia adalah poised untuk menjadi bangsa yang sepenuhnya dikembangkan pada tahun 2020, pendidikan adalah lagi di garis terdepan. Pembangunan suatu negara bergantung pada pengembangan orang-orangnya, sehingga peran sekolah dan guru yang bermain di fase awal ini pengembangan sumber daya manusia adalah sangat penting. Kebijakan yang terbaik dan kurikulum dapat ditarik ke atas, tetapi jika guru terbaik direkrut, hal ini mungkin semua datang ke sia-sia. Oleh karena itu, dalam rangka untuk membuat sebaik mungkin menggunakan keahlian dan fasilitas yang...

This article analyses one case of pedagogic innovation in the field of the university teaching of online journalism. The examined initiative has sought to develop Transversal Competencies (TC), useful for emotional, creative training and for creating enterprising future (online) journalists, through multimedia journalistic projects linked to the UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article describes the educational and professional context within which this innovative training experience is set, and presents results obtained from surveys carried out among the participating students, and from classroom observations that show the impact, reach and interest of the described pedagogic initiative. This work also hopes to be of use for future applications of SDGs in other journalism and communication subjects linked to content creation, along with other training areas and work methodologies within the Social Sciences in which an epistemological “affective turn” is being pro...

In the current context of constant educational change and adaptation, this book examines a range of Educational Innovation Projects (EIPs) aimed at dynamizing and improving teaching-learning processes in the field of Social Communication (the degrees of Audiovisual Communication, Journalism, and Advertising and Public Relations) at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). These innovative educational projects responded to specific moments in research into pedagogical innovation and were carried out in cooperation with the students. These EIPs covered in this book are part of the consolidated activity of KZBerri, a group that specializes in educational innovation and new teaching methods, which has the University of the Basque Country's IKD (Ikaskuntza Kooperatibo eta Dinamikoa) stamp. KZBerri is part of the Gureiker Consolidated Research Group, which specializes in the analysis of digital communication and journalism on the Web.

This paper describes an innovative pedagogic initiative for training Communication and Journalism university students. This initiative has been designed within the framework of a funded project financed. This has seeked to train future communicators in Transversal Competences (TC) via co-operative multimedia online journalism projects, focussed on subjects linked to the seventeen United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, to be accomplished by all member States by the year 2030 (Agenda 2030). As this paper concludes, online journalist work with SDG projects can be a useful teaching strategy in the classroom for promoting learning skills and results sustained by the development of students’ Emotional Intelligence (EI). In addition to contributing to the training of students in emotional competences, this innovative teaching initiative has led to develop other abilities related to EI, such as the capacity to work as part of a team.

This study analyses and presents accounting academics' experiences in six universities in Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia to adapt to the swift change to the remote virtual classroom delivery model forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, while also gaining valuable lessons from this unique situation. In this study, autoethnography's basic principles were used. The main results suggest that the universities' combined current information and communication technologies, learning management systems, blended learning experiences, training, and supports, although not without hitches, were able to accommodate the shift to a remote virtual classroom model quite effectively. However, the move to fully online assessment has been conceded to likely increase the embedded risk of student cheating. The availability of reliable internet connection for students is also crucial in ensuring access equality and effective remote virtual classroom delivery.

Conceptualmente los estilos de aprendizaje se entienden como variables personales que a mitad de camino entre la inteligencia y la personalidad explican las diferentes formas de abordar, planificar y responder ante las demandas del aprendizaje.

Este artículo de revisión analiza alternativas de indagación, cercanas a la sociología, utilizadas para comprender la experiencia estudiantil en la universidad. Se revisó literaturaproducida en América Latina y complementada con algunos textos escritos en Europa y Estados Unidos. Ante la diversidad de los abordajes y la variedad de los textos, se planeó la estructura del artículo así: se inicia con un análisis de obras que se tomancomo referentes teóricos y metodológicos, luego, se abordan textos que tratan de las actividades que desarrollan los estudiantes, los espacios que construyen o donde participany los vínculos que generan en su paso por la universidad. Son recurrentes las investigaciones en las que se toman dimensiones vinculadas al proceso educativo y se dejan de lado las relaciones de los estudiantes con grupos, hechos, situaciones oproblemas que son frecuentes en la cotidianidad de sus países. En estos contextos, las personas toman rutas alternas para desarrollar su proce...

R&D is one of the most important roles of universities. Many previous studies examined the impact of financial factor on university R&D activities but reached no consensus view. This article contributes to the current literature by exploring how financial factor and other factors influence R&D activities in Vietnamese universities. The author employed a survey dataset from the Association of Vietnam universities and colleges to check whether unfavourable financial condition hindered university R&D activities. Using structural equation modelling, the author found empirical evidence that financial constraint could hamper R&D productivity. On the other hand, favourable conditions in management, communication, infrastructure and human resources were found to improve R&D activities. This led to some policy suggestions to improve R&D activities in Vietnam higher education institutions.

Abstract Historically, the Romania economy competed on low wages, but since 2007 close to 4 million citizens emigrated, eroding that advantage and increasing spending on students and pensioners. Romania is looking for alternatives, and tourism, could be a possible solution, but tourism education needs to become a priority. We surveyed 170 entrepreneurs and managers from the tourism sector to identify their perspectives on current employee's education levels along with the requirements for future educational initiatives. The primary research question in our study is whether or not a university degree makes a difference in an employee engaged in tourism.

Tot i l’alt nombre d’estudiants matriculats en cursos de llengua catalana fora del domini lingüístic (6.690, segons dades de l’Institut Ramon Llull), encara disposem de molt pocs estudis que defineixin el perfil d’aquests nous parlants de català. En aquest sentit, el present article exposa les característiques comunes dels estudiants de català com a segona llengua (L2) matriculats a universitats estrangeres. El perfil dels alumnes de català s’ha creat a partir de les respostes recollides en una enquesta, feta durant el curs 2018-2019, que inclou cent noranta-quatre informants de quatre universitats d’àmbit intercontinental (Universitat d’Estudis Estrangers de Pequín, Universitat de Califòrnia, Universitat de Manchester i Universitat de Tolosa - Joan Jaurés). L’estudi analitza les característiques dels alumnes de català en universitats estrangeres a partir de variables sociodemogràfiques, lingüístiques, acadèmiques i de contacte amb els territoris de llengua catalana i els seus parlants. Els resultats mostren que hi ha trets comuns entre els estudiants de català, com ara l’edat, el gènere, el tipus d’estudis i el coneixement de segones llengües, entre d’altres.

Currently universities need to be competitive. The current environment forces universities to design strategies where the student becomes the center of their activity. Elements such as student satisfaction become key performance indicators of the strategy, so that universities are required to establish metrics that make it possible to measure the level of performance achieved based on the objectives they had previously set. In order to verify it, through a series of dimensions that measure the satisfaction of the teaching-learning process, a scale has been proposed to measure satisfaction. To confirm the consistency of the proposed scale, the reliability and validity indicators of the same were verified. The selected sample corresponds to university students studying undergraduate and master’s degrees in the online mode. Results obtained show the importance of correctly setting the objectives and contents of the different subjects that make up the curricula of each grade, as well as...

Samples of adult bees (Apis mellifera) and bees brood collected from 31 apiaries in western Romania have been examined for diagnosis in varroasis and in bees brood infectious and contagious diseases: ascosferosis, aspergillosis, European foulbrood and American foulbrood. For this study were used rapid immunoassay tests and microscopic examination. Varroa destructor mite was identified in all apiaries, 72% of adult bee samples and 96% of the samples of bees brood was infested. Ascosferosis was identified in 10% of the samples of bees brood and American foulbrood only 2% of the bees brood samples. No cases of aspergillosis and European foulbrood were identified during the study.

This article has two main objectives: to show how Ambroise Kom raises the question of the legitimation of Knowledge in Francophone Africa and to present the way he proposes to the continent to overcome subalternity and theoretical extroversion in order to become its own center of production and legitimation of knowledge. The article also shows how Ambroise Kom, a cultural and literary critic, extends the tradition of African philosophers, mainly Mudimbe, Hountondji and Laleye, who, from 1970, put the issue of decolonization of the African discourse in the center of their work

El presente estudio tuvo como propósito determinar la relación que existe entre la responsabilidad social universitaria y la calidad del servicio administrativo en la universidad. El método fue hipotético deductivo, siendo una investigación básica, transversal correlacional, de diseño no experimental. La muestra trabajada fue probabilística, conformada por 268 estudiantes; utilizandose la encuesta y el cuestionario. El estudio concluyó que existe relación significativa entre la variable responsabilidad social de la universidad y la calidad del servicio administrativo en la universidad; esto implica afirmar que: cuanto mayor sea la responsabilidad social de la universidad, mayores serán los niveles de calidad del servicio administrativo.

Les violences sexuelles en milieu universitaire (VSMU) sont une problématique s’inscrivant dans un contexte social plus large de violences envers les femmes (Comité permanent de la condition féminine, 2017). Les violences sexuelles peuvent avoir un impact important dans la vie des personnes qui les subissent et ces conséquences peuvent être teintées par la manière dont les proches, les professionnel·le·s et les institutions y répondent lorsque ces situations sont dévoilées ou dénoncées (Campbell et al., 2009; Ullman, 2010). La présente recherche est issue de l’Enquête Sexualité, Sécurité et Interactions en Milieu Universitaire (ESSIMU) : Ce qu’en disent étudiant.es, enseignant.es et employé.es (Bergeron et al., 2016). À l’aide d’un questionnaire en ligne, l’ESSIMU a récolté les récits de 2057 répondant·e·s provenant de six universités du Québec, dont 332 répondant·e·s rapportant 357 situations de VSMU faisant mention d’un (non )dévoilement ou d’une (non-)dénonciation qui ont été ana...

Resumen: El trabajo presenta una caracterización del campo de los posgrados en educación en la Argentina. Se describen datos de: tipos de posgrados, temáticas en los que se especializan, tipo de gestión, ubicación regional, inserción institucional, y evaluación que han recibido por parte del organismo evaluador. Se analiza el crecimiento de los posgrados en la Argentina a partir de la expansión de la matrícula universitaria, la denominada masificación de la educación superior y la intensificación de los criterios de evaluación en el nivel universitario y en el sistema de ciencia y técnica. Las necesidades de desarrollo académico de los docentes que organizan la oferta de posgrado, por un lado; y las necesidades de formación académica de los docentes universitarios, investigadores y docentes de otros niveles educativos, por el otro, se condensan en la creación de estructuras de formación de posgrado en las mismas instituciones (oferta), que son a su vez evaluadas por el nivel de sus ...

Creativity is often misunderstood due to inconsistencies concerning the definition of creativity, the methodologies used to explain creativity as a phenomenon and the various measurement instruments to determine creative ability. This article aimed to compare two conceptual frameworks to identify the most reliable and valid conceptual framework to measure creativity at a university. The findings showed that both conceptual frameworks are different in their own right and both are valid and reliable. Only marginal differences could be observed from the statistical tests used in the comparative analysis. The uniqueness and value of the paper lies in the validation of these conceptual frameworks to measure creativity.

RESUMEN El alto número de estudiantes que fracasa el primer año en educación superior en Chile ha llevado al Ministerio de Educación a crear estrategias de acompañamiento, como forma de elevar índices de retención y evitar la deserción universitaria. Se buscó comprender los significados y alcances del fenómeno de persistencia y retención universitaria, utilizando una metodología cualitativa de estudio de casos (Stake, 1998) desde una perspectiva comunicativo-crítica (Gómez et al., 2006). Los participantes fueron los estudiantes de primer año (cohorte 2015) pertenecientes al programa “me quedo en la universidad”. Se constatan diversas evaluaciones positivas y negativas del programa, destacando aspectos de participación, estrategias de aprendizaje, factores motivacionales e incluso elementos como el espacio y la identidad que puedan llegar a establecer con la universidad o con su carrera, que pueden influir en la decisión de mantenerse o desertar del sistema.

The results found from the application of two instruments that explore implicit theories and teaching practices about inclusive education in a group of undergraduate Chilean teachers are presented. Diversification of university students in Chile has generated major challenges to teachers, in terms of quality and equity in education and therefore this study contributes with ideas and reflections. The statistical analysis showed that the instruments employed in the study had adequate reliability and validity. It was also found that teaching practices that promote inclusive education are significantly related with conceptions about student's capabilities of learning, but they are not related with conceptions about teacher's responsibility with students learning. The instruments analyzed in this work showed to be useful for the comprehension of cognition, values, and practice of university teachers.Se presentan los resultados encontrados en la aplicación de dos instrumentos que ...

Statistics on international students distinguish between diploma mobility (full-time students abroad) and credit mobility (part-time courses, student exchanges such as Erasmus+, etc.). In terms of economic benefits, their common feature is mostly realised in the spendings by the foreign students in the host country. The comparison of the host cities reveals that Budapest should be considered as a separate category being different from the other cities in many respects. Although, the assessment of the other three university centres (Pécs, Debrecen and Szeged) received similar evaluations (close average values) but some kind of order developed between them in which Szeged and Pécs are perhaps regarded in a little bit more favourable position than Debrecen. There is a lot to be improved to broaden the studentification process in these cities particularly in four fields. The evaluations can certainly be considered useful in the sense that they help to identify those services which are p...

University mission: The fight for reform at the Catholic University in ChileThe author asks about the mission of the university understood as an axiologically defined way of life. She follows the history of the university reform in Chile in the 20th century, its two key moments from the point of view of university reflection: the strike in 1949 and in 1967. She notes that the strike phenomenon, although contrary to the idea of the university, is a tool for the disclosure of the university community. Both strikes were organized by architecture students at private Catholic universities in Santiago and Valparaíso, respectively, hence the demands for total reorganization, research autonomy, modernization and democratization can be regarded as radical. The author describes the research and teaching practice of the so-called School of Valparaíso, which can be considered the most important source and largest beneficiary having been granted the Open City area of the university reform in Chi...

Pastures and grasslands from prehistoric times have been playing a vital role in the economy of human beings by providing fodder for livestock. In Himalayan region forests and pastures spread over 12 states (east to west) accounting for 61.5 million hectares of total land area. Out of this 1.7 m ha is covered by the alpine pastures (Singh, 1988) and more than two third of which lies in Himachal Pradesh (Katoch et al., 1992). The Western Himalayan humid region comprising of Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. In Himachal Pradesh it includes higher reaches of Shimla, Kullu, Solan, Chamba, Mandi, Kangra and Sirmour districts (Sharma et al., 2001). The temperature in these regions of the State generally ranges from 4-30 C with annual rainfall around 1500 mm. The soils are generally silty-loam in texture and are highly prone to soil erosion hazards. The pastures and grasslands of these regions are subjected to severe human interference, continuous and uncont...

La presente obra integra las discusiones y análisis de los profesores universitarios que conforman la Red de Cuerpos Académicos "Educación, Política y Universidad", quienes se reunieron en la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional el mes de septiembre de 2018, para llevar a cabo su XI Seminario Nacional de Políticas Educativas: "Aportes y reflexiones desde la Universidad".

Ce travail de thèse part d'une idée simple : ce que l'on fait, ce que l'on vit nous change. Or au sein des expériences collectives vécues, l'une tend à devenir de plus en plus partagée : le passage par des études supérieures. Aussi peut-on être surpris de constater que peu nombreuses sont les études s'intéressant à l'impact que peuvent avoir les cursus disciplinaires sur le jugement des étudiants, population dont l'identité – ne serait-ce que professionnelle – reste en construction. A partir d'une enquête par questionnaire inspirée des European Values Survey et des Enquêtes sur les pratiques culturelles des Français et menée auprès d'un échantillon final d'étudiants de 11 filières universitaires, notre travail montre que l'idée controversée d'une socialisation disciplinaire mérite d'être considérée. Car si dès la première année, les disciplines tendent à s'attirer les faveurs de populations aux profils déjà différenciés, l'...

The transition to college represents a major life event, and successfully navigating this shift has implications for students’ psychosocial wellbeing. While there is ample support for the idea that social relationships can facilitate student wellbeing during the transition to college, there is limited understanding of the unique role faculty may play in supporting students. The aim of this study was to determine the relation of faculty support to student wellbeing and self-efficacy, independent of peer support and student level of stress. Additionally, the primary questions were to examine whether self-efficacy mediated the relation of faculty support to student wellbeing, and whether faculty support buffered the impact of stress to student wellbeing. Participants included 147 undergraduate students (Mage = 23.14, 69.4% female) from a Midwestern university, who completed a series of surveys assessing their levels of support in belonging on campus, their subjective happiness, self-ef...

A hallgatók mentális egészségének megőrzésére valamint javítására óriási figyelmet kellene fektetni minden felsőoktatási intézménynek. Ennek oka, hogy egy hallgató, a felsőoktatásban töltött évei során, az ébrenléti óráinak közel felét az egyetemen vagy főiskolán tölti. Ez alatt az idő alatt előadásokat hallgat, gyakorlatokon vesz részt és különböző csoportmunkákban tevékenykedik, hogy csak a legjellemzőbb feladatokat említsem. Az egyetemi lét azonban nem csak a hallgatók tudását acélozza meg, hanem jelentős hatást gyakorol az önértékelésükre és énképükre egyaránt. Ez pedig – más perspektívából vizsgálva – befolyásolja az élettel való elégedettségüket és boldogságukat. A felsőoktatási intézmények rangsoraiban a kiemelkedő hallgatói teljesítmények jelentős szerepet töltenek be. Kimagasló teljesítményt pedig (ahogyan az élsportban, úgy az oktatásban is) – a fizikai állóképesség és maga szintű tudás mellett – erős mentális állóképességgel rendelkező hallgatók érnek el.

This study analyses and presents accounting academics' experiences in six universities in Australia, Malaysia, and Indonesia to adapt to the swift change to the remote virtual classroom delivery model forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, while also gaining valuable lessons from this unique situation. In this study, autoethnography's basic principles were used. The main results suggest that the universities' combined current information and communication technologies, learning management systems, blended learning experiences, training, and supports, although not without hitches, were able to accommodate the shift to a remote virtual classroom model quite effectively. However, the move to fully online assessment has been conceded to likely increase the embedded risk of student cheating. The availability of reliable internet connection for students is also crucial in ensuring access equality and effective remote virtual classroom delivery.

Questo volume raccoglie ed estende il progetto Ricerca Precaria che nel 2015 ha rilanciato un dibattito fruttuoso sul nesso tra precarietà e accademia attraverso una serie di seminari itineranti. Riflette sulla precarietà nell’università italiana soffermandosi sulle condizioni economiche ed esistenziali di chi fa ricerca. I nodi affrontati sono molteplici: le carriere scientifiche, la mobilità internazionale, la dimensione di genere, l’insicurezza sociale. Emerge come la precarietà accademica sia un tema di ricerca rilevante e pregnante, che interroga l’accademia nel suo complesso oltre che i sindacati, le istituzioni e i movimenti politici e sociali. Sommario Introduzione: Francesca Coin, Alberta Giorgi, Annalisa Murgia Tra passione e sopravvivenza. Prospettive, condizioni e aspettative dei lavoratori della conoscenza negli atenei italiani.

Negli ultimi anni studiose e studiosi hanno lavorato, e stanno lavoran- do, sul nesso tra precarieta e accademia, con diversi approcci e diverse focalizzazioni: mobilita, genere, carriera, mobilitazione politica, per no- minarne solo alcuni. Ci sembra giunto il momento di mettere a confronto i diversi lavori di ricerca empirica, attraverso un ciclo di seminari che, pur mantenendo il filo rosso del comune oggetto di ricerca, si articoli in maniera itinerante, connettendo reti e persone in giro per l’Italia al fine di creare un dibattito ampio e condiviso e, soprattutto, plurale. Gli scopi sono tanti e diversi. Si tratta di sviluppare un lavoro di auto- riflessione critica all’interno dell’accademia, di condividere e rendere disponibili riflessioni teoriche ed empiriche su questo ambito di studi, di riconnettere reti di scambio e di confronto, di attivare dibattito e, non da ultimo, di saperne di piu di quello che accade nel posto – nei posti – dove lavoriamo, in forme e modalita dive...

An der Universität Augsburg wird seit dem Sommersemester 2012 eine Studie zur Nutzung von Tablets im Studium durchgeführt(Projekt "UniPAd"). Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt drei grundsätzliche Themen aus den bisher durchgeführten Erhebungen auf, die sich auf die Nutzung der Tablets durch die Studierenden auswirken: Bewusstheit der persönlichen Lernumgebung (PLE), Verständnis von Lernen und Umgang mit Entgrenzung. Der Beitrag beschreibt die festgestellten Phänomene und diskutiert diese kritisch – auch mit Blick auf didaktische Implikationen. (DIPF/Orig.)

Lograr la participación estudiantil en las universidades resulta uno de los retos actuales más importantes desde el punto de vista pedagógico, social e integral de la educación. Este artículo plantea una reflexión sobre el papel que juegan la universidad, la participación estudiantil y la educación en valores como componentes de la formación ciudadana. Para ello primero se habla del rol de la universidad, y de la vida universitaria, como un espacio que se conforma a partir de actores y grupos específicos, que desde ahí definen sus acciones e interacciones para construir y deconstruir los procesos de la vida cotidiana. Para ello, se contextualiza el concepto de juventud, se propone la visión de la educación cívica como parte de la educación en valores, y se establece la relevancia de la formación ciudadana en un contexto moderno, que uno de los sociólogos más importantes de nuestra época, Zigmunt Bauman (2000), acertadamente propone como fluido, cambiante y líquido en las generacione...
