Download or read book The Knowledge Economy and Postsecondary Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-05-11 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Workshop on the Knowledge Economy and Postsecondary Education documents changes seen in the postsecondary education system. In her report Lisa Hudson focuses on who is participating in postsecondary education; Tom Bailey concentrates on community colleges as the most responsive institutions to employer needs; Carol Twigg surveys the ways that four-year institutions are attempting to modify their curricular offerings and pedagogy to adapt those that will be more useful; and Brian Pusser emphasizes the public's broader interests in higher education and challenges the acceptance of the primacy of job preparation for the individual and of "market" metaphors as an appropriate descriptor of American higher education. An example of a for-profit company providing necessary instruction for workers is also examined. Richard Murnane, Nancy Sharkey, and Frank Levy investigate the experience of Cisco high school and community college students need to testify to their information technology skills to earn certificates. Finally, John Bransford, Nancy Vye, and Helen Bateman address the ways learning occurs and how these can be encouraged, particularly in cyberspace.

Download or read book Boosting Postsecondary Education Performance written by Committee for Economic Development and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not troubling, or even surprising, that the United States today faces increasing economic competition from around the world. It is easier for other nations to make up ground on the world's leader by copying more-advanced existing innovations, than it is for the leader to move forward by making new innovations. And as other nations improve their performance, they give U.S. businesses better suppliers, and better customers. Economic development anywhere in the world is a win-win everywhere in the world. However, although the United States should not will its competitor nations to stand still, it also should not stand still itself. Yet in the performance of its postsecondary education system, it has come dangerously close to a stall. This statement builds from the troubling truth that a smaller share of the younger generations of American adults has obtained postsecondary degrees than in several most successful competitor nations. Employers cannot find workers with the skills they need; and prospective workers without skills cannot find jobs. There is evidence that the quantity and quality of learning, even for those who earn degrees, has slipped. And simultaneously comes the news that accumulated education debt has grown to exceed the amount of credit card debt carried by households. The Committee for Economic Development (CED) believes that this nation's economy will grow only as fast as the skill base that its workforce--from the CEO office and the laboratory to the assembly line and the retail store--applies to the process of innovation. The most direct way to maintain and grow the standards of living of all Americans is to grow the share of young people who enroll in and complete postsecondary programs, while individuals maintain and improve the quality of the education that they receive. And if individuals are to achieve those goals, they must control the cost of postsecondary education--which has been growing far faster even than the widely cited cost of health care because neither public nor household budgets can withstand current rates of growth. Achieving these goals entails special challenges. Postsecondary attainment has been particularly low among low-income persons, and ethnic and racial minorities--many of whom would be the first of their families to attain a degree. Many working adults have begun postsecondary education but have not completed their programs. These persons need support different from and beyond what is typically required by the traditional full-time student. This statement makes the case that the key institutions that can fill this attainment gap are the broad-access colleges that focus on undergraduate education. This statement provides recommendations for the business community to become active advocates at the state level for the broad-access institutions that are so vital to the nation's economic future, because business leaders know that the supply of skilled, educated workers is truly crucial. These recommendations will help existing institutions to boost performance and become more productive and more effective, while new kinds of institutions utilizing new delivery systems and new business models are created and nurtured by utilizing new instructional technologies and business models through "disruptive innovation" in postsecondary education. (Contains 3 tables, 6 charts, 30 endnotes, and 15 selected readings and references.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the value of an education? Volume 4 of the Handbooks in the Economics of Education combines recent data with new methodologies to examine this and related questions from diverse perspectives. School choice and school competition, educator incentives, the college premium, and other considerations help make sense of the investments and returns associated with education. Volume editors Eric A. Hanushek (Stanford), Stephen Machin (University College London) and Ludger Woessmann (Ifo Institute for Economic Research, Munich) draw clear lines between newly emerging research on the economics of education and prior work. In conjunction with Volume 3, they measure our current understanding of educational acquisition and its economic and social effects. Winner of a 2011 PROSE Award Honorable Mention in Economics from the Association of American Publishers Demonstrates how new methodologies are yielding fresh perspectives in education economics Presents topics and authors whose data and conclusions attest to the globalization of research Complements the policy and social outcomes themes of volume 3

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the contributors consider globalization as combining a market ideology with a corresponding material set of practices drawn from the world of business. Issues of managerialism, privatization and accountability - central values in business - have become central for universities and their administrators as well. The selections in the book help to illustrate the editors' contentions that globalization presents clear disadvantages as well as benefits, and that its effect on higher education is neither likely to be uniform nor the outcomes inevitable.
Download or read book Economics of Higher Education written by Robert K. Toutkoushian and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the many ways in which economic concepts, theories and models can be used to examine issues in higher education. The topics explored in the book include how students make college-going decisions, the payoffs to students and society from going to college, markets for higher education services, demand and supply in markets for higher education, why and how state and federal governments intervene in higher education markets, college and university revenues and expenditures, how institutions use net-pricing strategies and non-price product-differentiation strategies to pursue their goals and to compete in higher education markets, as well as issues related to faculty labor markets. The book is written for both economists and non-economists who study higher education issues and provides readers with background information and thorough explanations and illustrations of key economic concepts. In addition to reviewing the contributions economists have made to the study of higher education, it also examines recent research in each of the major topical areas. The book is policy-focused and each chapter analyses how contemporary higher education policies affect the behaviour of students, faculty and/or institutions of higher education. "Toutkoushian and Paulsen attempted a daunting task: to write a book on the economics of higher education for non-economists that is also useful to economists. A book that could be used for reference and as a textbook for higher education classes in economics, finance, and policy. They accomplish this tough balancing act with stunning success in a large volume that will serve as the go-to place for anyone interested in the history and current thinking on the economics of higher education.” William E. Becker, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Economics, Indiana University

Download or read book Never Enough written by Neil Gilbert and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said that greed fuels capitalism and socialism feeds on envy. But what happens in a stable society when a successful economy generates material progress for one population sector, while simultaneously creating income inequality and poverty for another sector? While this has long been a classic debate for economists, Neil Gilbert, a social welfare theorist, offers a new take. In this landmark work, Gilbert addresses the long-standing tensions between capitalism and the progressive spirit and challenges the contemporary progressive outlook on the failures of capitalism. In doing this, Never Enough analyzes the empirical evidence for conventional claims about the real level of poverty, the presumed causes and consequences of inequality, the meaning and underlying dynamics of social mobility, and the necessity for more social welfare spending and universal benefits. The book's careful analysis suggests that it is time to resist the material definition of progress that stands so high on the current agenda and envision alternative ways for our government to advance the "good society." Insatiable consumption and the commodification of everyday life has dominated the last half-century, and is encouraged by modern capitalism because it feeds the economy and is also used as a measure of individual success. But Gilbert argues that it is perhaps no longer the best way to stimulate the economy. Never Enough also challenges the prevailing assumptions about the decline of middle-class prosperity, opportunity and material well-being in the United States and in other post-industrial nations. In a careful reading of the evidence and a critical analysis of its implications, Gilbert demonstrates the extent to which the customary progressive claims about the severity of poverty, inequality, social mobility and the benefits of universalism not only distort the empirical reality of modern life in an era of abundance, but confounds efforts to help those most in need.
Download or read book It Takes a Nation written by Rebecca M. Blank and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Americans experiment with dismantling the nation's welfare system, clichés and slogans proliferate, ranging from charges that the poor are simply lazy to claims that existing antipoverty programs have failed completely. In this impeccably researched book, Rebecca Blank provides the definitive antidote to the scapegoating, guesswork, and outright misinformation of today's welfare debates. Demonstrating that government aid has been far more effective than most people think, she also explains that even private support for the poor depends extensively on public funds. It takes a nation to fight a problem as pervasive and subtle as modern poverty, and this book argues that we should continue to implement a mix of private and public programs. Federal, state, and local assistance should go hand in hand with private efforts at community development and personal empowerment and change. The first part of the book investigates the changing nature of poverty in America. Poverty is harder to combat now than in the past, both because of the changing demographics of who is poor as well as the major deterioration in earnings among less-skilled workers. The second part of the book delves into policies designed to reduce poverty, presenting evidence that many though not all programs have done exactly what they set out to do. The final chapters provide an excellent review of recent policy changes and make workable suggestions for how to improve public assistance programs to assure a safety net, while still encouraging poor adults to find employment and support their families.
