This book discusses how teaching and research have been weighted
differently in academia in 18 countries and one region, Hong Kong
SAR, based on an international comparative study entitled the
Changing Academic Profession (CAP). It addresses these issues using
empirical evidence, the CAP data. Specifically, the focus is on how
teaching and research are defined in each higher education system,
how teaching and research are preferred and conducted by academics,
and how academics are rewarded by their institution. Since the
establishment of Berlin University in 1810, there has been
controversy on teaching and research as the primary functions of
universities and academics. The controversy increased when Johns
Hopkins University was established in 1876 with only graduate
programs, and more recently with the release of the Carnegie
Foundation report Scholarship Reconsidered by Ernest L. Boyer in
1990. Since the publication of Scholarship Reconsidered in 1990,
higher education scholars and policymakers began to pay attention
to the details of teaching and research activities, a kind of
'black box' because only individual academics know how they conduct
teaching and research in their own contexts.
