Download or read book A Local Comparative Study of Inbound Student Mobility and Internationalization in Grandes coles and Universities written by Cui Bian and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing impact of marketization on higher education and global attention on referencing systems has discretely transformed the academic world. We observed some nations' overemphasis on economic benefits in international education and some nations' huge investment in their HEIs building for better ranking positions. We observed the quasi-gratuity of higher education fees in France; and in spite of their unsatisfactory academic performance on international rankings, French HEIs have always been the top favorite hosting destinations. We also observed the lack of knowledge of grandes écoles in the international academic community and a mysterious image created by the complexity of this dual system for French HEIs. To examine the contradictory facts and reveal the complex phenomena, two grandes écoles and two universities specializing in similar study fields were selected to be sites of exploration. The purpose of this local comparative study was mainly to explore how the two groups of institutions have developed their respective strategies in the international student recruitment process in the context of internationalization. This study used a qualitative approach for data collection incorporating interviews and documentation analysis. The analysis revealed both the pain and the gain that the grandes écoles and universities have been experiencing in internationalization and the comparative results related to inbound study mobility in these institutions.

Download or read book Stratification in Higher Education written by Yossi Shavit and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-13 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mass expansion of higher education is one of the most important social transformations of the second half of the twentieth century. In this book, scholars from 15 countries, representing Western and Eastern Europe, East Asia, Israel, Australia, and the United States, assess the links between this expansion and inequality in the national context. Contrary to most expectations, the authors show that as access to higher education expands, all social classes benefit. Neither greater diversification nor privatization in higher education results in greater inequality. In some cases, especially where the most advantaged already have significant access to higher education, opportunities increase most for persons from disadvantaged origins. Also, during the late twentieth century, opportunities for women increased faster than those for men. Offering a new spin on conventional wisdom, this book shows how all social classes benefit from the expansion of higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook marks the transformation of the topic of literacy from the narrower concerns with learning to read and write to an interdisciplinary enquiry into the various roles of writing and reading in the full range of social and psychological functions in both modern and developing societies. It does so by exploring the nature and development of writing systems, the relations between speech and writing, the history of the social uses of writing, the evolution of conventions of reading, the social and developmental dimensions of acquiring literate competencies, and, more generally, the conceptual and cognitive dimensions of literacy as a set of social practices. Contributors to the volume are leading scholars drawn from such disciplines as linguistics, literature, history, anthropology, psychology, the neurosciences, cultural psychology, and education.
