Higher education has a vital role to play in the social and
economic development of all countries. The sector, however, faces a
significant number of critical issues to be addressed, major
challenges to be met and overcome, and significant opportunities to
be grasped and consolidated. Higher education institutions are now
expected to operate, manage, compete, be creative and innovative,
and provide intellectual leadership in a world characterised by
increasingly rapid, pervasive and fundamental change. The question
of how to maximise the performance of the higher education sector
in the context of such an environment is the focus of the chapters
in this book, which provide perspectives, analyses and examples
relating to some of the major issues and challenges confronting
higher education, both now and in the future. The information
presented is drawn from recent research, as well as critical
analyses of existing theory and practice. Authors are drawn from
ten different countries: Australia; Brazil; Belgium; China; Israel;
The Netherlands; Portugal; Turkey; the United Kingdom; and the USA.
The topics addressed include: the role of higher education;
government policy agendas; skills for the 21st Century; the role of
higher education in addressing poverty; higher education and the
labour market; the future of Brazilian higher education; higher
education cost-sharing policy; the impact of political culture on
higher education reform; accreditation; quality assurance;
improving teaching and learning; promoting technology integration;
creating inclusive higher education institutions; English for
academic purposes; the relationship between learning style
preference and academic disciplines; quality work-integrated
learning; student learning in research-based doctorates; and
developing emotional intelligence in higher education students.
