Quality of Higher Education: Organizational and Educational Perspectives
by Yihuan ZouQuality in higher education was not invented in recent decades – universities have always possessed mechanisms for assuring the quality of their work. The rising concern over quality is closely related to the changes in higher education and its social context. Among others, the most conspicuous changes are the massive expansion, diversification and increased cost in higher education, and new mechanisms of accountability initiated by the state. With these changes the traditional internally enacted academic quality-keeping has been given an important external dimension – quality assurance, which requires higher education institutions to continuously demonstrate and improve performance, and which also provides new systems of rewards and sanctions. However, the complex impacts of quality assurance policies have shown a need to further understand the quality issue in higher education.This book is about constructing a more inclusive understanding of quality in higher education through combining the macro, meso and micro levels, i.e. from the perspectives of national policy, higher education institutions as organizations in society, individual teaching staff and students. It covers both theoretical constructions for understanding quality and empirical investigation in the Chinese context. The questions addressed are: How is quality of higher education perceived by the institution, teaching staff and students, respectively? What are the main concerns for the institution, teaching staff and students in their own pursuit of quality? It has been concluded that quality of higher education is not only about educational quality, but also about expanding life chances for the students, prosperity in the administrative system for the teaching staff,and organizational prosperity for the institution. With regard to quality assurance and accountability in higher education special attention should be given to the values pursued and be careful to balance between immediate, single-value efficiency and sustainable development and a wider-range of values that higher education serves.

Ihre Studie zielt aus berufsbiografischer Perspektive auf die Rekonstruktion handlungsleitender Professionalisierungsverständnisse von Studierenden und ihrer Ausbildenden mithilfe der Dokumentarischen Methode. Die interaktive Aushandlung dieser Verständnisse zwischen den Akteuren beeinflusst die Begleitungspraxis. Darüber hinaus verdeutlicht die Autorin anhand der BPGs ein für Lehrerbildung charakteristisches Spannungsfeld zwischen „schon jetzt“ und „noch nicht“ des Lehrperson-Seins.
Higher Education in the Digital Age: Moving Academia Online
by Annika Zorn Jean-Michel Glachant Jeff HaywoodThe European higher education sector is moving online, but to what extent? Are the digital disruptions seen in other sectors of relevance for both academics and management in higher education? How far are we from fully seizing the opportunities that an online transition could offer? This insightful book offers a broad perspective on existing academic practices, and discusses how and where the move online has been successful, and the lessons that can be learned. Higher Education in the Digital Age offers readers a comprehensive overview of the ways in which a move into online academia can be made. Analysing successful case studies, the original contributions to this timely book address the core activities of an academic institution – education, research, and research communication – instead of focusing only on online learning or digital strategies relevant for individual academics. Chapters cover online and networked learning, as well as the myriad ways in which the digital age can improve research and knowledge exchange with experts and society more widely. Academics, managers and policy makers in higher education institutions will greatly benefit from the up-to-date case studies and advice outlined in this book. Academic administrators and academic project leaders will also find this a useful tool for improving the accessibility of their work.
Own Your Weird: An Oddly Effective Way for Finding Happiness in Work, Life, and Love
by Jason ZookTired of all the "shoulds" that guide your life? Want to create a life full of meaning? Work on your own terms? See the world a little differently? Then it's time to Own Your Weird. Creative entrepreneur Jason Zook certainly walks the walk of "owning his weird." He's had some crazy yet successful schemes -- he's made over a million dollars by having more than 1,600 companies pay him to wear their t-shirt (a project called I WearYour Shirt). Later he auctioned off his last name twice, for $50K each time. He then self-published his first book Creativity for Sale by nabbing sponsors and generating $75K in revenue. Now Own Your Weird is targeted to other potential "out of the box" thinkers who dream not only of doing work on their own terms, but also creating a meaningful life. Consider Jason your spirit guide, offering strategies for honing in on what makes you weird, recognizing when feedback is just another form of procrastination, and how to stop with social media already. There's a specific set of strategies and exercises that can help you prioritize your life over your business, by identifying your MMM (Minimum Monthly Magic) number. He also offers examples from his own life (how he got out of $124K worth of debt, escaped the pressure to have a big wedding, and has thrived on social media by primarily ignoring it). Own Your Weird is the permission slip you need to take that big risk. To finally chase down that big idea. And to let go of "supposed to" thoughts. See how life opens up when you break out of the blueprint.
Globalization and the Singapore Curriculum: From Policy to Classroom (Education Innovation Series)
by Zongyi Deng, S Gopinathan and Christine Kim-Eng LeeThis volume provides a multi-faceted and critical analysis of the Singapore curriculum in relation to globalization. First, it details reform initiatives established by the Singapore government to meet the challenges posed by globalization. Next, Globalization and the Singapore Curriculum presents how these reforms have been translated into programs, school subjects and operational frameworks and then examines, in turn, how well these have been implemented in schools and classrooms across the country.Through this examination, the book reveals how the initiatives, together with their curricular translation and classroom enactment, reflect on the one hand global features and tendencies and, on the other, distinct national traditions, concerns and practices. It brings to light a set of issues, problems and challenges that not only concern policymakers, educators and reformers in Singapore but also those in other countries as well. Written by curriculum scholars, policy analysts, researchers and teacher educators, Globalization and the Singapore Curriculum offers an up-to-date reference for postgraduate students, scholars and researchers in the areas of curriculum and instruction, comparative education, educational sociology, educational policy and leadership in Singapore, the Asia Pacific region and beyond. It also offers a vital contribution to the story of modern education around the globe: providing international students, scholars and researchers valuable insights into curriculum and curriculum reform for the 21st century.

Längenkonzepte von Kindern im Elementarbereich
by Johanna ZöllnerDer alltägliche Umgang mit Längen spielt für Kinder im Elementarbereich eine bedeutende Rolle und birgt reiches mathematisches Förderpotenzial. Dennoch stehen Längen selten im Fokus der frühen mathematischen Bildung. Johanna Zöllner entwickelt auf theoretischer und empirischer Basis ein Modell, das Längenkonzepte als komplexes Zusammenspiel vielfältiger Komponenten beschreibt, die im mentalen sowie im handelnden Umgang mit Längen zum Tragen kommen. Ein umfassendes Verständnis dieser Komponenten ist grundlegend für eine adäquate Unterstützung der Kinder beim Aufbau von Längenkonzepten. Die Studie bietet wertvolle Erkenntnisse für die Gestaltung von Lehr- und Lernumgebungen, zudem eröffnen detaillierte Auswertungskategorien Diagnosemöglichkeiten und bilden eine Basis für die weitere wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit Größenkonzepten.
Engineering: Women and Leadership (Synthesis Lectures on Engineers, Technology, & Society)
by Corri Zoli Shobha Bhatia Valerie Davidson Kelly RuschIn this book we explore a sea change occurring in leadership for academic women in the sciences and engineering. Our approach is a two-pronged one: On the one hand, we outline the nature of the changes and their sources, both in various literatures and from program research results. On the other hand, we specify and provide detail about the persistent problems and obstacles that remain as barriers to women’s full participation in academic science and engineering, their career advancement and success, and, most important, their role as leaders in making change. At the heart of this book is our goal to give some shape to the research, practice, and programs developed by women academic leaders making institutional change in the sciences and engineering. Table of Contents: Women in a New Era of Academic Leadership / Background: Academic Leadership for Women in Science and Engineering / Gender and Leadership: Theories and Applications / Women in Engineering Leadership Institute: Critical Issues for Women Academic Engineers as Leaders / From Success Stories to Success Strategies: Leadership for Promoting Diversity in Academic Science and Engineering / Conclusion
Migration in der Adoleszenz: Eine biographische Studie zu jungen Männern aus Spätaussiedlerfamilien (Adoleszenzforschung #7)
by Janina ZölchJanina Zölch untersucht, welchen Einfluss eine Migration in der Phase der Adoleszenz auf den Entwicklungsprozess von jungen männlichen Spätaussiedlern nimmt. Ausgehend von biographischen Interviews arbeitet sie ausführliche Fallrekonstruktionen sowie übergreifende Konstellationen und Erkenntnisse heraus. Es wird deutlich, dass das Zusammentreffen der beiden Prozesse – Migration und Adoleszenz – zu spezifischen Herausforderungen führt, die nicht gewanderte Personen mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund nicht teilen. Im Fokus stehen vor allem die Auswirkungen einer Migration im Familienverbund, die lebensgeschichtliche Einbettung der Migration sowie die adoleszenten Auseinandersetzungen mit der eigenen Zugehörigkeit.
A Model to Forecast Future Paradigms: Volume 1: Introduction to Knowledge Is Power in Four Dimensions
by Bahman Zohuri Farhang Mossavar-RahmaniIn this volume, the authors’ two-fold objective is to lay out a methodology and approach that allows the reader to learn how to utilize existing technology in the form of computer software and hardware for forecasting and decision-making and to discuss factors that affect upcoming events that, in turn, shape future paradigms. With the sheer volume of information available and the ever-greater ease of access, it is becoming increasingly difficult to introduce an appropriate methodology of decision-making that is fast enough to be effective. The demand for real-time information processing and related data—both structured and unstructured—is on the rise. This rise makes it challenging to implement correct decision-making within enterprises at a level that keeps organizations robust and resilient against natural and man-made disasters. This volume provides an understanding of these factors and will help decision-makers be better prepared to face future challenges and will assist them in coping with unexpected circumstances. This volume is divided into two parts. Part one discusses a "technological infrastructure" so that readers can gain a greater understanding based on the knowledge of tomorrow’s computing functionality. The second part goes on to discuss the key indicators in the areas of population, culture, economics, climate change, and the impacts of technology in commerce and socially—which all need to be considered when forecasting a future paradigm. The authors will follow this introductory volume with additional volumes that review and analyse other critical indicators in the areas of geopolitics, the nature of political power around the globe, and other applications of technology and energy.

Higher Order Thinking in Science Classrooms: Students' Learning And Teachers' Professional Development (Contemporary Trends and Issues in Science Education #22)
by Anat ZoharHow can educators bridge the gap between "big" ideas about teaching students to think and educational practice? This book addresses this question by a unique combination of theory, field experience and elaborate educational research. Its basic idea is to look at science instruction with regard to two sets of explicit goals: one set refers to teaching science concepts and the second set refers to teaching higher order thinking. This book tells about how thinking can be taught not only in the rare and unique conditions that are so typical of affluent experimental educational projects but also in the less privileged but much more common conditions of educational practice that most schools have to endure. It provides empirical evidence showing that students from all academic levels actually improve their thinking and their scientific knowledge following the thinking curricula, and discusses specific means for teaching higher order thinking to students with low academic achievements. The second part of the book addresses issues that pertain to teachers' professional development and to their knowledge and beliefs regarding the teaching of higher order thinking. This book is intended for a very large audience: researchers (including graduate students), curricular designers, practicing and pre-service teachers, college students, teacher educators and those interested in educational reform. Although the book is primarily about the development of thinking in science classrooms, most of it chapters may be of interest to educators from all disciplines.
Scaling-up Higher Order Thinking: Demonstrating a Paradigm for Deep Educational Change
by Anat ZoharThis open access book addresses the evasive problem of why truly effective educational innovation on a wide scale is so difficult to achieve, and what leaders may do about this. Examining the case of system-wide reform processes centering on teaching a thinking-rich curriculum, it discusses general issues pertaining to implementing deep, large-scale changes in the core of learning and instruction. The book emphasizes challenges related to professional development, assessment, achievement gaps, and the tension between knowledge and skills in 21st century curricula. It summarizes insights the author has gained from approximately 25 years of engaging with these topics both as an academic and as a practitioner who led a national change process.With a Forward by David Perkins
Print News and Raise Hell: The Daily Tar Heel and the Evolution of a Modern University
by Kenneth Joel ZogryFor over 125 years, the Daily Tar Heel has chronicled life at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at times pushed and prodded the university community on issues of local, state, and national significance. Thousands of students have served on its staff, many of whom have gone on to prominent careers in journalism and other influential fields. Print News and Raise Hell engagingly narrates the story of the newspaper's development and the contributions of many of the people associated with it. Kenneth Joel Zogry shows how the paper has wrestled over the years with challenges to academic freedom, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, while confronting issues such as the evolution of race, gender, and sexual equality on campus and long-standing concerns about the role of major athletics at an institution of higher learning. The story of the paper, the social media platform of its day, uncovers many dramatic but perhaps forgotten events at UNC since the late nineteenth century, and along with many photographs and cartoons not published for decades, opens a fascinating window into Tar Heel history. Examining how the campus and the paper have dealt with many challenging issues for more than a century, Zogry reveals the ways in which the history of the Daily Tar Heel is deeply intertwined with the past and present of the nation's oldest public university.
