Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions collected in this volume take a fresh look at the traditional debate on education, training and labour market outcomes. The quality of education is difficult to measure in the education market and does not always find clear recognition in the labour market. The book provides new empirical evidence on these themes, including data specifically relating to Italy and the UK.
Download or read book EU Higher Education Law written by Sacha Garben and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 2010, the European Higher Education Area was officially launched, proclaiming the culmination of a ten-year timeframe projected at Bologna in 1999, when the education ministers of 29 European states signed a declaration that would fundamentally influence the future of their higher education systems. Forty-seven countries, including all EU Member States and other countries as far afield as Kazakhstan, now take part in the so-called 'Bologna Process'. Remarkably, this vast enterprise, which has led to rapid and sweeping changes in almost all higher education systems in Europe, has taken place outside the framework of the European Union and the Council of Europe. In fact, as this important legal analysis shows, it appears that with the Bologna Process the Member States have tried to sidestep the EU's growing influence on higher education. Although the Bologna Process has generated an impressive literature addressing what it might mean, where it suddenly came from, and how it has become so powerful, until now the legal implications of the process, and its tense relationship with EU law, have been left almost entirely unexamined. This work fills that gap. Among the often controversial issues raised are the following: ; avoidance of the democratically legitimate procedures of the EU's institutional framework for cultural reasons connected with state sovereignty; the scope of EU legal competence for various kinds of activities in the educational sector; specific areas of overlap between EU law and the Bologna Process and their implications; voluntary intergovernmental cooperation as a paradigmatic global shift of internationalization policies in education; the idea that the university is being redefined, from a social institution to an industry; the increasingly influential role in the process, by means of funding and coordination, of the European Commission; financial support programmes and devices to enhance credit and degree recognition; students as recipients of services; and teachers and the free movement of workers. The author describes how the scope of the Bologna Process was significantly broadened during a series of meetings during the decade, analyses the relevance of the case law of the European Court of Justice and provides a detailed description of the adoption of the process into the national laws of France, Germany and the United Kingdom. A concluding normative assessment scrutinizes the process on the basis of democracy, transparency and accountability. As the first study of the legitimacy of Bologna from a European law perspective - and by extension of the 'Europeanization' of higher education, including the role of the EU, EU law, and law in general - this is a critically important contribution to a contentious debate that clearly holds great significance for the future of law and society. Educators and education policymakers are sure to read and study it with interest.
Download or read book European Competence Standards for the Academic Training of Career Practitioners written by Christiane Schiersmann and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The citizens of Europe are facing increasingly complex challenges to their career development nowadays. Over the span of their lifetime, they need to manage their careers, and make numerous decisions concerning education, training and employment - decisions, which seriously impact their futures and their wellbeing. To prepare citizens for these challenges, and to support them in the progress, competent career practitioners are needed. But what kinds of career practitioners are we talking about? And what do they need to be able to do? How can the quality of their training be assured? This handbook introduces common European competence standards for the academic training of career practitioners in Europe, together with some proposals and examples, of how to implement and establish such competence standards in practice. More than 200 experts from all across Europe have contributed to the development of these shared standards of the Network for innovation in Career Guidance and Counselling in Europe (NICE). The standards are already being used in many countries for the development of degree programmes.
Download or read book A European Politics of Education written by Romuald Normand and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A European Politics of Education proposes a sociology of education establishing connections between empirical data coming from European-scale comparative surveys, normative assumptions structuring actors’ representations and interpretative judgements, and a specific focus on Lifelong Learning policy areas. It invites readers to think about the place of standards, expertise and calculations in the European space from a common perspective, supported by a tradition of critical sociology and European political studies. The book: Addresses an important agenda: how the policies and politics of supranational Europe are making a European educational space Contains a response to the emergence of new epistemic governance and instruments at European level Contains contributions from the EU and the UK which give a comprehensive selection of perspectives and analysis of the field as it concerns Europe The complexity of the contemporary European education policy space is addressed here with new lines of inquiry as well as a reflexive outlook, on standardization, policy-making and actor engagement. Students and researchers of European policy studies, education policy analysts and theorists will all be particularly interested readers.
Download or read book Improving Quality Assurance in European Vocational Education and Training written by Adrie J. Visscher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many resources are invested in the development and introduction of Quality Assurance Systems in educational institutions all over the world. Our assumption is that, as a result of quality assurance activities, practitioners obtain information about their own functioning and institutional performance which is new and valuable to them and which therefore will form a basis for them to improve performance. This assumption proves to be naïve; too often performance feedback is under-utilized, and evaluations become void, legitimizing rites instead of a basis for organizational learning and the improvement of institutions. The aim of this book was to find out when educational institutions do transform Quality Assurance data into actions to improve performance, and how the use of such data can be promoted. This volume reports on the study of Quality Assurance structures and activities in 36 educational institutes in 6 European Countries and presents guidelines for Quality Assurance.
Download or read book Europeanizing Education written by Martin Lawn and published by Symposium Books Ltd. This book was released on 2012-05-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of common and diverse effects in the field of education across Europe is a growing field of inquiry and research. It is the result of many actions, networks and programmes over the last few decades and the development of common European education policies. Europeanizing Education describes the origins of European education policy, as it metamorphosed from cultural policy to networking support and into a space of comparison and data. The authors look at the early development and growth of research networks and agencies, and international and national collaborations. The gradual increase in the velocity and scope of education policy, practice and instruments across Europe is at the heart of the book. The European space of education, a new policy space, has been slowly coaxed into existence; governed softly and by persuasion; developed by experts and agents; and de-politicized by the use of standards and data. It has increasing momentum. It is becoming a single, commensurable space on a rising tide of indicators and benchmarks. The construction of policy spaces by the European Union makes Europe governable: policy spaces have to be mobilized by networks of actors and constructed by comparative data. They are the result of transnational flows of people, ideas and practices across European borders; the direct effects of European Union policy; and, finally, the Europeanizing effect of international institutions and globalization. The European space of education and research has become a new place of work through interconnected institutions, networks and companies, and it is being constructed through the flow of policy ideas, knowledge and practices from place to place, sector to sector, organization to organization, and across borders. This book will be useful to any scholar of the new arena of study, the European Space of Education.
Download or read book Europe in Motion written by Maurizio Bach and published by edition sigma. This book was released on 2006 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die europäische Integration ist ein zunehmend umstrittenes Thema, weil die Europäische Union nicht nur den Umfang ihrer politischen Kompetenzen ausweitet, sondern zugleich auch die Zahl ihrer Mitglieder vergrößert. Die Erweiterung fordert insbesondere die europäischen Institutionen heraus und bringt substantielle Reformen auf die Tagesordnung, um deren Funktionsfähigkeit zu sichern. Zugleich müssen sich die Institutionen dem Problem stellen, eine Reihe von Gesellschaften mit spezifischen historischen Entwicklungspfaden und besonderen sozialen Rissen zu integrieren. Der Band »Europe in Motion« versammelt fundierte Einblicke in diesen janusköpfigen Vorgang. Zum einen widmen sich die Beiträge den institutionellen Anpassungsprozessen und den gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen, die durch die Erweiterung in Gang gesetzt wurden. Zum anderen nehmen die Autoren die sich verändernde soziale Architektur der EU in den Blick: soziale Konflikte, Solidarität und Identität, Potentiale für institutionelle Regulierung. Der Sammelband plädiert nachdrücklich dafür, daß die Institutionalisierung der EU Rücksicht auf die Spezifika der einzelnen europäischen Gesellschaften nimmt, um institutionelle Fehlanpassungen, Verteilungskonflikte und soziale Spaltungen zu vermeiden.
