Download or read book Academic Staff in Europe written by Jürgen Enders and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-08-30 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education is going through a turbulent period of change. Based on a research project coordinated by J^Durgen Enders at the University of Kassel in Germany, the book highlights the changes taking place in higher education and examines the working conditions of academic staff in fourteen European countries. All countries in the study have seen changes regarding the actors and procedures relevant for the regulation of the employment relationships of academic staff. Academic staff are higher education's most important asset and most costly resource. Employment and working conditions of academic staff are, therefore, not only influenced by these developments but seen as an important tool for adaptation to the new circumstances higher education faces. Thus it is not only of interest to demonstrate and compare variations across and within countries, but also to analyze the outcomes of the changing academic environment on the academic labor market and the conditions of working life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La corruption dans l’éducation est aujourd’hui un sujet de préoccupation à l’échelle mondiale qui concerne l’ensemble des Etats membres, à tous les niveaux de l’éducation. Il y a actuellement une prise de conscience générale des effets néfastes des comportements contraires à l’éthique dans le domaine de l’éducation à tous les niveaux et dans tous les pays. Si les principales parties prenantes s’accordent sur la nécessité de combattre la corruption dans l’éducation, les avis sur les moyens à mettre en oeuvre divergent encore. Sur quels principes éthiques fonder une politique éducative dans l’Europe d’aujourd’hui ? Comment parvenir à une réelle éthique, une transparence et une intégrité au sein des établissements scolaires et des universités ? Quelle approche devrait-on favoriser pour contrer les différentes formes de corruption qui affectent, à des niveaux divers, le secteur éducatif ? Cette publication tente d’y répondre, en présentant les 14 principes éthiques pour l’éducation, proposés par la Plate-forme du Conseil de l’Europe sur l’éthique, la transparence et l’intégrité dans l’éducation (ETINED), ainsi que leurs sources et leurs champs d’application.

This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together papers presented at the 3rd Conference of Research in Economics and Management (CIREG) held in Morocco in May 2016. With a focus on the challenges of SMEs and innovative solutions, they highlight the contribution of researchers in the fields of business and management, with all their micro and macro-economic aspects. They shed light on the universal scientific vision of the importance of SMEs with answers relevant to their local context and adapted to their specific national situation. The relevance of SME research lies in its heuristic value of analyzing change, rather than in constructing a category, a particularly useful empirical concept. This third volume is focused on marketing and human resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unparalleled in its depth and breadth, this volume analyzes the way the academic profession is increasingly differentiated and professionalized in modern society. Its findings will help educators and laymen around the world to understand between the problems and the changing nature of a profession responsible for training the members of virtually all the other leading professions. The academic profession provides the basic staff for universities and colleges everywhere. Its competence is central to the competence of higher education. Long a subject for satire and fiction, this key profession as receive a relatively little systematic study. What do we know of its nature? What determines its character and strength, its capacity to carry out the many functions of modern postsecondary education? The authors of these far-ranging studies examine the academic profession in three decisive settings: the national, the disciplinary, and the institutional. The four chapters of Part I, written mainly by historians, point to the similarities and differences in the development an current composition of the profession in Great Britain, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, and the United States, In Part II, chapter give highlights the vast differences in the nature of the profession between continental Europe and America. Chapter six examines the differences exacted by the many disciplines that operate as ongoing concerns organized around specialized bodies of knowledge. Chapters seve and eight concentrate on the American scene, examining respectively the differences between professional schools and the letters and science departments of American research universities, and the varying academic worlds now provided by types of institutions that range from research universities to community colleges. Finally, Burton Clark presents the themes of the volume and a synthesis of findings in excellent introductory and concluding chapters. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1987.

Download or read book Autonomy in Education written by Walter Berka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-04-13 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The push towards greater autonomy is one of the three main trends in every modern educational policy, alongside quality assurance and quality evaluation techniques and the need to devote attention to special — and often disadvantaged — target groups. It is, however, difficult to derive a unified concept of `autonomy’ from the comparative indicators which are published on a regular basis and it has emerged that there are significant differences depending on the specific area and the administrative organisation of education in the country in question. During the discussions of the annual Congress of the European Association for Education Law and Policy (ELA) in Salzburg (1998) it was apparent that autonomy has to be considered in its various applications. Autonomy for school boards is realised through management, administrative mechanisms, management of staff and pedagogical options. Autonomy of administration requires competence, the willingness to establish an autonomous administration and awareness of each party’s responsibility in the educational process. The contents of this Yearbook are an answer to the question of how legislatures are responding to the trend towards greater responsibility, decentralisation and autonomy. It is an overview of the efforts made by the Member States of the European Union to apply the principle of subsidiarity.
