This open access book evaluates research quality, quality of
teaching and the relationship between the two through sound
statistical methods, and in a comparative perspective with other
European countries. In so doing, it covers an increasingly
important topic for universities that affects university funding.
It discusses whether university evaluation should be limited to a
single factor or consider multiple dimensions of research, since
academic careers, teaching and awarding degrees are intertwined.
The chapters included in the book evaluate teaching and research,
also taking the gender dimension into account, in order to
understand where and when gender discrimination occurs in
assessment. Divided into five sections, the book analyses the
administrative data on the determinants of career completion of
university students; increasing precariousness of academic careers,
especially of young researchers; methods designed to assess
research productivity when co-authorship and team production are
becoming the standard practice; and interrelations between
students' achievements and teachers' careers driven by research
assessment. It brings together contributions from a large group of
economists, statisticians and social scientists working under a
project sponsored by ANVUR, the Italian agency for the evaluation
of teaching and research of academic institutions. From an
international perspective, the findings in this book are
particularly interesting because despite low tuition costs,
tertiary education in Italy has relatively low enrolment rates and
even lower completion rates compared to those in other European and
American countries. This book is of interest to researchers of the
sociology of education, education policy, public administration,
economics and statistics of education, and to administrators and
policy makers working in the area of higher education.
