Inhalt: "From 2004 to 2012 young, open-minded persons from all over the world joined the Master Programme Higher Education Research and Development (MAHE) at the University of Kassel. In 2012, a first volume (Barbara M. Kehm and Ulrich Teichler, eds. Higher Education Studies in a Global Environment. Vol. 1. Kassel 2012; Werkstattberichte, No. 74) presented the highlights of eight master theses written by students graduating from this programme. This second and final volume presents the highlights from 13 further master theses which have been rated unanimously as 'very good'. The authors of these articles come from ten different countries. Most articles address specific issues of higher education in a single or in two countries - among them often the authors' home countries. Since the programme offered the students the challenge of bringing together prevailing concepts in higher education research and dominating discourses in higher education in their own countries or in other countries they developed an interest in, the master theses mirror the tensions between the assumptions of worldwide pressures and worldwide valid concepts on the one hand, and the experience of varied situations on the other."

Inhalt: "Graduates from institutions of Higher Education do not only hope to get employed and be better paid. Study can also have an impact on employment and work in many respects: facilitating transition to employment, opening up opportunities for demanding, interesting and responsible professional assignments, increasing remuneration and job security, providing opportunities for continuing learning and leading the way to international mobility and visibly international assignments. The book provides a series of detailed analyses of graduate employment and work in comparative perspective. It draws from the survey of graduates from 11 European countries and Japan first published in H. Schomburg und U. Teichler 'Higher Education and Graduate Employment and Work' (2006). In this volume, scholars from twelve countries show how transition to employment, job assignments, employment assessments of the quality of employment and work vary by the graduates' socio-biographic and educational background. It also focuses on experiences during the course of study and competences acquired, international experience, regional background and regions of employment. It demonstrates more substantial differences of the relationships between study and subsequent employment between various countries than previous debates and analyses have suggested."

Inhalt: "The international mobility of students has considerably gained ground as a major policy in Europe over the last decades. As a result of the heightened political importance attached to international mobility, and the manifold practical attempts to increase it, there is an enhanced need for comprehensive, up-to-date, and reliable information on the phenomenon: statistical data on mobility are needed to measure progress - or otherwise - towards the various mobility goals and thus to inform the political actors of the impact of the programmes and other measures launched. However, data measuring real mobility (as opposed to foreign nationality) is not always available and is rarely sufficiently differentiated. This publication has therefore a double objective. First, it investigates which data on international mobility are being compiled and made available and which are not, both at the international, the national and the programme level. Second, this study presents in one volume the student mobility data identified, and - based on an analysis of these data - it tries to depict a picture of the main trends in international student mobility into and out of 32 European countries. Next to analysing and presenting the availability and quality of data on international student mobility, this report also makes recommendations for the improvement of student mobility statistics both at national and international level."

Inhalt: "Diskussionen über Studiengebühren und andere Studienkosten sowie über die Finanzierung des Studiums, unter anderem durch öffentliche Studienförderung, werden in Deutschland in Wellen immer wieder vehement und engagiert geführt. Vereinfachende Information und Argumentation scheinen dabei ein leichtes Spiel zu haben, weil die Vielfalt wichtiger Dimensionen und unterschiedlicher Ansätze und Erfahrungen in anderen Ländern wenig bekannt ist. Dieser Band, der aus einem im Frühjahr 2004 in Kassel durchgeführten Workshop der Kassel-Darmstadt-Runde hervorgegangen ist, beabsichtigt, einen Beitrag zur Versachlichung der Diskussion zu leisten: Dazu wird die Vielfalt der Argumente sortiert. Studienkosten, Studiengebühren und öffentliche Studienförderung werden im europäischen Vergleich dargestellt. Eingehend behandelt werden die neueren Ansätze zu Studiengebühren, Studienkosten und Studienförderung in Großbritannien, Australien und Österreich." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: Auf Initiative der Hessischen Staatsministerin für Wissenschaft und Forschung, Mayer, fanden seit 1997 zehn Workshops zum Thema 'Innovative Hochschule: Ideen, Impulse, Projekte in internationaler Perspektive' statt, die sie gemeinsam mit den Hochschulforschern Teichler (Universität Kassel) und teilweise Daniel (früher Kassel, jetzt Zürich) leitete. Auf diesen Workshops referierten und diskutierten Verantwortliche koordinierender Instanzen, Hochschulpräsidentinnen, Hochschullehrerinnen und Hochschulforscherinnen aus Australien, Dänemark, Großbritannien, Israel, den Niederlanden, Österreich, Schweden, der Schweiz und den USA. In den 101 Beiträgen dieses Bandes werden die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der Workshops in aller Kürze resümiert. Der Band gliedert sich nach den Themenkomplexen, die anlässlich der Workshops behandelt wurden, wie zum Beispiel: neue Studienabschlüsse; Situation des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses nach der Promotion; Universitäten als Stätten der Forschung; Evaluation von Hochschulen; Staat und Hochschulen; Internationalisierung als Gestaltungsaufgabe sowie Dekane als Akteure der Hochschulentwicklung.

ERASMUS in the SOCRATES programme : findings of an evaluation study
Titelübersetzung:ERASMUS im SOKRATES-Programm : Ergebnisse einer Evaluationsstudie
Herausgeber/in:
Teichler, Ulrich
Quelle: Bonn: Lemmens (ACA Papers on International Cooperation in Education), 2002. 239 S.
Inhalt: "ERASMUS, the 'flagship' among the educational programmes of the European Union, underwent substantial programmatic and structural changes when it became a sub-programme under the umbrella of the SOCRATES programme in the mid-1990s. The role of the centre of the university was strengthened at the expenses of the networks of departments, and more emphasis was placed on curricular innovation, teaching staff mobility and on involvement of the non-mobile students. This study, being par of the SOCRATES 2000 Evaluation Study, aims to examine the changes occurred in ERASMUS in the late 1990s. It draws from available documents and statistics, and comprises surveys of students, graduates and academics as well as interviews with those involved in curricular innovation and 'thematic networks'. The authors call for efforts to keep academics involved, to establish administrative procedures based on trust and to ensure a stronger role of curricular innovation." (author's abstract).

Inhalt: Seit 1996 wird von den Institutionen bzw. Organisationen der höheren Bildung von der Europäischen Union gefordert, europabezogene Strategien zu formulieren, wenn sie Förderung und Unterstützung im Rahmen des SOKRATES-Programms beantragen. Die vorliegende Studie präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer Befragung, die verschiedene europäische Aktivitäten von Hochschulen wie Studentenaustausch, Forschungskooperationen etc. erfaßt. Die Institutionen skizzierten ihr "European Profile" in einem "European Policy Statement" (EPS). Die Studie gliedert sich in drei Bestandteile: (1) Die Analyse aller EPSs hinsichtlich ihrer europäischen und anderweitigen internationalen Aktivitäten; (2) Fallstudien an zwanzig europäischen Hochschulen, um die EPSs "vor Ort" zu validieren; (3) Die Einrichtung von drei Workshops mit Rektoren, Forschungsmanagern und Hochschullehrern mit der Absicht, aus der Diskussion der Forschungsergebnisse Strategien für eine europäische Hochschulpolitik abzuleiten.
