Download or read book The Politics of Academic Autonomy in Latin America written by Fernanda Beigel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic autonomy has been a dominant issue among Latin American social studies, given that the production of knowledge in the region has been mostly suspected for its lack of originality and the replication of Euro-American models. Politicization within the higher education system and recurrent military interventions in universities have been considered the main structural causes for this heteronomy and, thus, the main obstacles for 'scientific' achievements. This groundbreaking book analyses the struggle for academic autonomy taking into account the relevant differences between the itinerary of social and natural sciences, the connection of institutionalization and prestige-building, professionalization and engagement. From the perspective of the periphery, academic dependence is not merely a vertical bond that ties active producers and passive reproducers. Even though knowledge produced in peripheral communities has low rates of circulation within the international academic system, this doesn't imply that their production is - or always has been - the result of a massive import of foreign concepts and resources. This book intends to show that the main differences between mainstream academies and peripheral circuits are not precisely in the lack of indigenous thinking, but in the historical structure of academic autonomy, which changes according to a set of factors -mainly the role of the state in the higher education system. This historical structure explains the particular features of the process of professionalization in Latin American scientific fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para que las instituciones de educación superior puedan competir en el mercado global de nuestros días, deberán adoptar un enfoque diferente que valore las aportaciones que hace el número cada vez mayor de estudiantes internacionales. El libro reúne, analiza y expone el pensamiento actual sobre la internacionalización de la educación superior, examinando hasta qué punto las buenas prácticas orientadas a los estudiantes internacionales, lo son también para todos los estudiantes. Cuestiona la idea de que el estudiante internacional es un estudiante problemático, y propone situarle en el centro de la universidad como una fuente de capital cultural y de diversidad internacional, que enriquece la experiencia de aprendizaje, mejora la experiencia del profesorado y construye una comunidad de aprendizaje más fuerte. Presenta el pensamiento académico acerca de cuestiones clave relativas a la implementación de una estrategia transcultural, abordando temas como las perspectivas institucionales, organizativas y éticas de la internacionalización; cuestiones sobre la mejora de la calidad de la enseñanza, la evaluación del aprendizaje, la empleabilidad y el modo de internacionalizar el currículo. Este práctico volumen, con ejemplos reales de universidades del Reino Unido y de otros países, e ilustrado con Estudios de Casos de EE.UU., Europa, Canadá, Australia y sudoeste de Asia, constituye una lectura obligada para todas las personas que, ante el imperativo global actual de la educación, quieran ampliar sus enfoques acerca del aprendizaje y la enseñanza, en el entorno de la educación superior y la postsecundaria.

Download or read book Research Collaboration between Europe and Latin America written by Rigas Arvanitis and published by Archives contemporaines. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International collaboration has become increasingly important in carrying out research activities. This book, written by a large group of scholars from Europe and Latin America, maps, analyses and discusses research collaboration between the two continents during the last twenty years. The empirical material underlines the richness and the variety of the links that bind the two continents, well beyond the simplified views of science, either as the brainchild of global networking or as a result of dependence. The book also develops an innovative methodological approach, combining bibliometric analysis, social surveying, in-depth interviews, and a careful analysis of research programmes and policies. While arguing that the asymmetry of relations that once existed in cooperation has turned into a more equal partnership between the two continents, it deciphers some of the reasons behind this more balanced cooperation. It also challenges the view of science as a global self-organising system through collective action at the level of researchers themselves. On the contrary, the importance of policy, institutions, and previously developed research is highlighted and recognised

Download or read book Globalisation and Europeanisation in Education written by Roger Dale and published by Symposium Books Ltd. This book was released on 2009-05-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grew out of the experience of a European Union Thematic Network of the same title, and focuses on aspects of the complex and varying relationships between globalisation, Europeanisation and Education. The volume is divided into two parts: PART 1: Governance and the Knowledge Economy, focuses on how the discourses of a Knowledge Economy and Lifelong Learning, and an emerging functional and scalar division of the labour of educational governance became central to the development of a European Education Space. Contributors emphasise the role of the European Commission, and especially the Lisbon agenda, in this process, and considers the role of the Open Method of Coordination and the Bologna Process in the construction of the EES. A key theme linking Europeanisation to globalisation is the prominence of the discourse of competitiveness, and the role allocated to education in enhancing Europe’s ability to compete with the United States and Japan. PART TWO: Citizenship, Identity and Language, looks at the emergence of a new social model for Europe, this time from the point of view of how it relates the development of individual capacities and citizenship, and the role of intellectuals in this process. A second major theme is the place, role and choice of languages and at the impact of pressures from globalisation and Europeanisation, and national and sub-national levels, on language choice and teaching, taking into account both ‘World Englishes’ and Language Europe. Finally, globalisation becomes the central issue in an analysis of its different relationships with ‘northern’ (of which European education policy is taken as the example) and ‘southern’ paradigms of educational development.
