International Perspectives on Higher Education

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Essential reading for any scholar of education and academic administrators...Congratulations to the editors and authors for taking on some important issues.' Stewart Hase, Independent Scholar and Adjunct Fellow, Southern Cross University, Australia 'I found this to be an easy-to-read book, with some interesting examples. In particular I found the chapters on ethics and e-learning most interesting. As a Food Scientist, I have considered ethics as being only of consequence in research and practicals, and even then as having only very limited affects and implications. This book covered wider aspects of ethics which I had not considered, but took for granted.' K. D. Anthony Taylor, Emeritus Professor of Food Science, University of Lincoln, UK UK and European contributors in education, educational research, and social sciences review issues affecting higher education in the UK, Europe, and around the world. In the final chapter, a recent UK graduate reflects on her higher education experiences. The first part of the book grapples with ethical behavior in higher education, touching on academic freedom and spirituality in student life. Part 2 addresses issues of leadership and management in higher education, with material on internationalization and globalization, curriculum design and assessment, and international experiences for students. Part 3 describes core activities of learning and teaching, with chapters on e-learning and a sustainable model for experiential learning. * Book News Inc * Both researchers and practitioners seeking strategies for thriving within the current climate of globalization and internationalization of higher education will surely find this text useful. * Teachers College Record *
