Download or read book Managing Institutional Self Study written by Watson, David and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the use of evidence in the leadership and management of universities and colleges. The role of institutional self-study in establishing strategy and measuring progress is examined across the full range of institutional activities, with many worked examples. Practical guidance is also set in the context of theory about organisational learning within complex enterprises at the start of the 21st century, as well as an account of the state of the art within higher education in the UK, with some international comparisons. Because of the nature of the business – knowledge production and use –universities should be better at organisational learning than they are. This book shows how disciplined self-study can assist decision-making, general effectiveness and reputational positioning for universities and colleges. The book explores why self-study matters, the key processes and techniques, as well as what can be delivered. In addition to the internal drivers to enhance self-study capacity and practice, institutions are increasingly required to produce explicit and transparent accounts of their activities and performance to external bodies, to support marketing, to respond to multiple stakeholders and to meet external reporting and regulatory requirements. At the heart of the book is the case for the development of the university or college as a mature, self-reflective community, making full use of its analytical and other resources.

Download or read book Crafting a Class written by Elizabeth A. Duffy and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Admissions and financial aid policies at liberal arts colleges have changed dramatically since 1955. Through the 1950s, most colleges in the United States enrolled fewer than 1000 students, nearly all of whom were white. Few colleges were truly selective in their admissions; they accepted most students who applied. In the 1960s, as the children of the baby boom reached college age and both federal and institutional financial aid programs expanded, many more students began to apply to college. For the first time, liberal arts colleges were faced with an abundance of applicants, which raised new questions. What criteria would they use to select students? How would they award financial aid? The answers to these questions were shaped by financial and educational considerations as well as by the struggles for civil rights and gender equality that swept across the nation. The colleges' answers also proved crucial to their futures, as the years since the mid-1970s have shown. When the influx of baby boom students slowed, colleges began to recruit aggressively in order to maintain their class sizes. In the past decade, financial aid has become another tool that colleges use to compete for the best students. By tracing the development of competitive admission and financial aid policies at a selected group of liberal arts colleges, Crafting a Class explores how institutional decisions reflect and respond to broad demographic, economic, political, and social forces. Elizabeth Duffy and Idana Goldberg closely studied sixteen liberal arts colleges in Massachusetts and Ohio. At each college, they not only collected empirical data on admissions, enrollment, and financial aid trends, but they also examined archival materials and interviewed current and former administrators. Duffy and Goldberg have produced an authoritative and highly readable account of some of the most important changes that have taken place in American higher education during the tumultuous decades since the mid-1950s. Crafting a Class will interest all readers who are concerned with the past and future directions of higher education in the United States. Originally published in 1997.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents enrollment data for four-year and two-year postsecondary institutions that were eligible for Title IV federal financial aid in 1996. Data were obtained from the 1996 fall enrollment survey. Survey findings are presented in five major sections: (1) characteristics of enrolled students; (2) types of institutions attended; (3) attendance status; (4) changes in enrollment, 1992-96; and (5) enrollment by state. Section 1 includes data for all postsecondary institutions, while Sections 2 through 5 focus on degree-granting institutions. A highlights section identifies key findings such as the following: in 1996, 14.8 million students were enrolled in the nation's 6,404 Title IV-eligible postsecondary institutions; black students comprised 11 percent of undergraduates at degree-granting institutions, but only 7.2 percent of graduate students; among all students, 77.4 percent attended public degree-granting institutions; overall, 59.2 percent of undergraduate students and 42.3 percent of graduate students attended school full-time; and between 1995 and 1996 there was a decline in enrollment at public four-year institutions and an increase in enrollment at public two-year institutions. Detailed statistical tables for degree-granting institutions are presented in the first four appendices. The fifth appendix provides technical notes on study methodology. (DB)
Download or read book Language Acquisition and the Multilingual Ideal written by Toshiyuki Nakamura and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the motivational development of Japanese language learners, this book investigates the relationship between their future self-image as Japanese speakers and their broader self-image as multilingual individuals. The book compares two groups of Japanese language learners, one from Australia and the other from South Korea. Questioning how motivation is influenced both by native languages and by the other languages which learners speak or study, Toshiyuki Nakamura uses dynamic systems theory (DST) to uncover how knowledge of English in these different contexts motivates the learning of Japanese. Employing the concept of 'domain of possible selves' as an analytical framework, the book also provides a detailed description of the development of the learners' visions of themselves as users of Japanese and uncovers various aspects of Japanese language learners' L2 self.
