Download or read book Scholarship Reconsidered written by Ernest L. Boyer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting faculty roles in a changing landscape Ernest L. Boyer's landmark book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate challenged the publish-or-perish status quo that dominated the academic landscape for generations. His powerful and enduring argument for a new approach to faculty roles and rewards continues to play a significant part of the national conversation on scholarship in the academy. Though steeped in tradition, the role of faculty in the academic world has shifted significantly in recent decades. The rise of the non-tenure-track class of professors is well documented. If the historic rule of promotion and tenure is waning, what role can scholarship play in a fragmented, unbundled academy? Boyer offers a still much-needed approach. He calls for a broadened view of scholarship, audaciously refocusing its gaze from the tenure file and to a wider community. This expanded edition offers, in addition to the original text, a critical introduction that explores the impact of Boyer's views, a call to action for applying Boyer's message to the changing nature of faculty work, and a discussion guide to help readers start a new conversation about how Scholarship Reconsidered applies today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology-driven change is accelerating at an exponential rate, but moving fast in the wrong direction will only get you into trouble faster! Reacting to problems and digital disruptions, no matter how agile you and your organization are, is no longer good enough. The Anticipatory Organization teaches you how to separate the Hard Trends that will happen, from the Soft Trends that might happen, allowing you to jump ahead with low risk and the confidence certainty can provide. Accelerate innovation and actively shape the future—before someone else does it for you! Digital transformation has divided us all into two camps: the disruptor and the disrupted. The Anticipatory Organization gives you the tools you need to see disruption before it happens, allowing you to turn change into advantage. In The Anticipatory Organization, Burrus shows us that the future is far more certain than we realize, and finding certainty in an uncertain world provides a big advantage for those who know how and where to look for it. Inspired by the dramatic results that organizations are experiencing from his award-winning learning system, The Anticipatory Organization offers a comprehensive way to identify game-changing opportunities. Using the principles of this proven model, you will learn how to elevate planning, accelerate innovation, and transform results by pinpointing and acting upon enormous opportunities waiting to be discovered. Readers will learn how to: • Separate the Hard Trends that will happen from the Soft Trends that might happen • Anticipate disruptions, problems, and game-changing opportunities • Identify and pre-solve predictable problems • Accelerate innovation (both everyday innovation and exponential innovation) • Pinpoint and act upon enormous untapped opportunities ​• Skip problems and barriers to succeed faster

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although winning a major competitive scholarship, such as the Rhodes or Marshall, is a strong marker for later success, there has been little serious research on how these scholarships are given and how the process could be improved. This book, the fruits of a discussion on "strengthening nationally and internationally competitive scholarships," presents studies that address issues of identifying leadership and creativity in the young, analyze alternative methods of selection, make suggestions for the proper evaluation of scholarship programs, and look at the backgrounds of American Rhodes Scholars. An introduction by the editors provides an overview of the issues. Philanthropic and Nonprofit Studies -- Dwight F. Burlingame and David C. Hammack, editors

Download or read book Science of Societal Safety written by Seiji Abe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book covers comprehensive but fundamental principles and concepts of disaster and accident prevention and mitigation, countermeasures, and recovery from disasters or accidents including treatment and care of the victims. Safety and security problems in our society involve not only engineering but also social, legal, economic, cultural, and psychological issues. The enhancement needed for societal safety includes comprehensive activities of all aspects from precaution to recovery, not only of people but also of governments. In this context, the authors, members of the Faculty of Societal Safety Science, Kansai University, conducted many discussions and concluded that the major strategy is consistent independently of the type and magnitude of disaster or accident, being also the principle of the foundation of our faculty. The topics treated in this book are rather widely distributed but are well organized sequentially to provide a clear understanding of the principles of societal safety. In the first part the fundamental concepts of safety are discussed. The second part deals with risks in the societal and natural environment. Then follows, in the third part, a description of the quantitative estimation of risk and its assessment and management. The fourth part is devoted to disaster prevention, mitigation, and recovery systems. The final, fifth part presents a future perspective of societal safety science. Thorough reading of this introductory volume of societal safety science provides a clear image of the issues. This is largely because the Japanese have suffered often from natural disasters and not only have gained much valuable information about disasters but also have accumulated a store of experience. We are still in the process of reconstruction from the Great East Japan earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. This book is especially valuable therefore in studying the safety and security of people and their societies.

Download or read book The Student Aid Game written by Michael McPherson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student aid in higher education has recently become a hot-button issue. Parents trying to pay for their children's education, college administrators competing for students, and even President Bill Clinton, whose recently proposed tax breaks for college would change sharply the federal government's financial commitment to higher education, have staked a claim in its resolution. In The Student Aid Game, Michael McPherson and Morton Owen Schapiro explain how both colleges and governments are struggling to cope with a rapidly changing marketplace, and show how sound policies can help preserve the strengths and remedy some emerging weaknesses of American higher education. McPherson and Schapiro offer a detailed look at how undergraduate education is financed in the United States, highlighting differences across sectors and for students of differing family backgrounds. They review the implications of recent financing trends for access to and choice of undergraduate college and gauge the implications of these national trends for the future of college opportunity. The authors examine how student aid fits into college budgets, how aid and pricing decisions are shaped by government higher education policies, and how competition has radically reshaped the way colleges think about the strategic role of student aid. Of particular interest is the issue of merit aid. McPherson and Schapiro consider the attractions and pitfalls of merit aid from the viewpoint of students, institutions, and society. The Student Aid Game concludes with an examination of policy options for both government and individual institutions. McPherson and Schapiro argue that the federal government needs to keep its attention focused on providing access to college for needy students, while colleges themselves need to constrain their search for strategic advantage by sticking to aid and admission policies they are willing to articulate and defend publicly.

Download or read book Trends in Digital Scholarship Curation in Public and Private Higher Education in Southern Africa written by Brenda Van Wyk and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universities and higher education institutions (HEIs) are knowledge intensive environments. Research and scholarship created here are institutional knowledge capital and must be managed as assets to give the institution a competitive edge in research and academic stature. The status and prestige of HEIs depend on the quality, visibility and accessibility of their research. As such, knowledge capital must be managed as assets that will ensure return on investment (ROI). Scholarship availed in dissertations, theses, proceedings and publications form part of the institutional knowledge capital. Digitised institutional repositories (IRs) are the preferred method of showcasing scholarship on the internet, adding to the HEI’s web visibility. IRs developed over the past twenty years to become sophisticated networked digital research collections. Research intensive universities and institutions reap benefits from showcasing scholarship digitally in well-developed IRs, as well as in peer reviewed academic journals. HEIs with well-developed and maintained IRs rank consistently higher on webometrics ranking sites. All HEI sectors have not benefited equally from IR developments, and many African HEIs still do not perform according to world trends observed on ranking sites and directories. Globally, recent research indicates that valuable research output originates from both public and private HEIs, but scholarships are often not archived and curated sustainably in all cases. Despite rapid growth and developments in digital scholarship curation some private and public HEIs are lagging behind. Private HEIs in Southern Africa are still not visible and readily accessible on the web. Southern African private HEIs rank significantly lower than comparative public HEIs. Poor scholarship curation and lack of research visibility deter HEIs from taking their rightful place in higher education and higher education research communities. Where research collections are not managed sustainably as knowledge capital, full ROI will not be possible. Recently IR research changed focus, from an initial information management (IM) and information technology (IT) approach, when questions around the role of the human element in the process of scholarship curation came to the fore. Knowledge management (KM) principles such as scholarship as knowledge capital, the value of research and scholarship became topics of recent research. Although HEI are generally slow in implementing KM, the value of KM as an institutional strategy is increasingly being realised by global trendsetting HEIs. The sustainability of IRs poses challenges in HEIs where the research culture is still not fully developed and the importance of sustainable scholarship collections not yet realised. Here, the benefits and value of research for the HEI cannot be optimised. Research curation is often not supported by the HEI’s research strategies, policies, archiving and curation procedures. This study aimed to investigate digital scholarship curation trends in a purposefully selected target group of private and public HEIs in Southern Africa. Target groups were selected from the Ranking Web of Universities. The identified target groups were from Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. This mixed method study investigated digital scholarship curation trends in a purposefully selected target group of private and public HEIs in Southern Africa. Trends in the target group are compared with global IR trends, to identify potential sustainability risk factors. Empirical research data is triangulated with webometric content analysis to derive at solutions and best practices to ensure sustainable scholarship curation in IRs. A socio-technical model towards sustainable scholarship curation is offered, to identify the IR sustainability domain. This study offers a comprehensive definition of the sustainability domain for scholarship curation. It comprises a list of sustainability threats that must be avoided, and that should be seen as risk indicators present on a governance, infrastructural, and institutional cultural level.

Book excerpt: Woza Albert! is one of the most popular and influential plays to have come out of the South African cultural struggle of the 1980s and a central work in the canon of South African theatre. Working with the idea of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ taking place in apartheid South Africa, the playwrights improvised a brilliant two-man show consisting of 26 vignettes, commenting on and satirising life under the apartheid regime. The play has become one of the most anthologized and produced South African plays both in South Africa, and internationally and is studied widely in schools as well as universities. This Student Edition contains a commentary and notes by Temple Hauptfleisch, Emeritus Professor at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. METHUEN DRAMA STUDENT EDITIONS are expertly annotated texts of a wide range of plays from the modern and classic repertoires. A well as the complete text of the play itself, this volume contains: · A contextualised chronology of the play and the playwrights' lives and works · an introductory discussion of the social, political, cultural and economic context in which the play was originally conceived and created · a succinct overview of the creation processes followed and subsequent performance history of the piece · an analysis of, and commentary on, some of the major themes and specific issues addressed by the text · a bibliography of suggested primary and secondary materials.
