Quality Evaluation of Venezuelan Higher Education

100%
EN
Since 1999, there have been changes in Venezuelan higher education, such as the establishment of new forms of university access, attempts to reform Universities Act, enacting a new Organic Education Law, among others. Consequently, one wonders what the real situation of Venezuelan higher education subsystem is and whether it has been building a new model of higher education in the last decade. In the present study, we attempt to answer these questions, in light of specific policies and plans established by the State regarding the education sector, quality management strategies, administrative‑governance organization basic forms, and the methodological framework for assessing quality.

At present there is an unprecedented demand for and a great diversification in higher education, as well as an increased awareness of its vital importance for socio-cultural and economic development. The complexity of the right to education is especially at issue while discussing the right to higher education, which on a national level is non-compulsory, even though the number of people who have acquired higher education during the second half of the twentieth century has tripled. Therefore the object of this research is the content and scope of the concept of accessibility of higher education. The definition of the obligations of the states prescribed in the international and national legal instruments in respect to the right to higher education, the analysis of the standards and principles of the accessibility of the right to higher education, the discussion of the most often social, economic and legal causes for violations of the higher education accessibility, and the identification of the problems of higher education accessibility in Lithuania with respect to constitutional provisions are presented in this research.

The coronavirus pandemic has profoundly affected Hungarian higher education (HEI). As campuses around the globe were forced to shut down, online distance learning became an everyday reality for all students. At the same time, faculty were rushed to adjust their teaching content and methods, as well as forms of assessment, to online teaching. As a result, this transition exposed flaws in technological abilities, digital preparedness and flexibilities within universities. In this work, my goal is to analyze how the Hungarian HEIs adopted online educational practices during the pandemic and how they were able to address some of the difficulties while adjusting their teaching and creating new forms of support for both students and faculty. To that end, the article first discusses the prevalence of distance and digital learning before the pandemic, then evaluates the steps and challenges of transition to remote online education during the pandemic, and finally highlights some lessons learnt and best practices of some Hungarian universities.

The article presents the analysis of dynamics of the number of candidates to the Education Faculty at the University of Zielona Gora in the years 2002/2003 – 2010/2011. The objective of the research was to trace the changes taking place in this field in the light of the transformations of higher education in Poland. Moreover, the author sought to characterize the selected features of candidates over the analyzed period. Thus the cognitive aim was to identify possible trends appearing in the outlined areas and to create a profile of a candidate. The results have shown that the University of Zielona Gora, and in particular the Faculty of Education, is experiencing the same phenomena as the ones which are being observed at other universities. Globalization processes concerning the education market have their local dimension on the Faculty. The symptoms of transformations are primarily visible in the decreasing number of candidates. This tendency is accompanied by an increasing proportion of admissions, which means accepting candidates who are increasingly less likely to meet the recruitment requirements. An average university candidate applied for one of two subject areas: resocialization, full-time or social work, full-time. It was most often a candidate who came from a town in Lubuskie voivodship.

W artykule przedstawiona została analiza dynamiki liczby kandydatów na Uniwersytet Zielonogórski na studia na wydziale pedagogicznym w latach 2002/03-2010/11. Celem badań było prześledzenie zmian dokonujących się w tym zakresie na tle przeobrażeń szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce oraz dokonanie charakterystyki wybranych cech kandydatów na przestrzeni analizowanego okresu. Założeniem poznawczym było zatem rozpoznanie ewentualnych trendów pojawiających się w nakreślonych obszarach i stworzenie rysu sylwetki kandydata. Wyniki badań pokazały, że Uniwersytet Zielonogórski, a w szczególności wydział pedagogiczny doświadcza tych samych zjawisk, które obserwowane są na innych uczelniach. Globalne procesy, które dotyczą rynku edukacyjnego mają na wydziale swój wymiar lokalny. Symptomy przemian widoczne są przede wszystkim w zmniejszającej się liczbie kandydatów. Tej tendencji towarzyszy rosnący odsetek przyjęć, a to oznacza przyjmowanie kandydatów, którzy w coraz mniejszym stopniu wypełniają wymagania rekrutacyjne. Przeciętny kandydat na studia częściej składał podanie na studia dzienne decydując się na podjęcie studiów na specjalności resocjalizacja lub praca socjalna. Najczęściej był to kandydat pochodzący z miasta w województwie lubuskim.

The study examines students’ assessments of the use of the flipped classroom approach in an undergraduate course in the Business Department at the College for Academic Studies in Israel. In its essence, learners prepare for classes by watching videos away from class, allowing the classroom encounter to focus on discussion, exercises, and discourse. Data were collected by a questionnaire distributed toward the end of the course. The students reported that watching videos between lessons enhanced interest, alleviated boredom, and enriched the learning. To a lesser extent, they reported it increased their involvement in learning, understanding of the learning material, and confidence in their ability to understand it. While acknowledging the convenience of watching course videos between classes, however, the participants clearly preferred to watch them in class. Multivariate analysis revealed that working students were less positive about using the flipped-classroom approach than non-working students, female students were more positive than male ones, and older students were more positive than younger ones. Furthermore, the stronger the senses of having classmates nearby, the more positive the participants were about the contribution of watching the videos.

Aim: The aim of this paper was to verify the impact of gender on correlations between native language competences and academic activity of master grade students of social sciences in Poland. Results are disscussed with other international findings. Methods: Gathering of the data was used via auditorial survey. Data was collected from 235 students (163 female, 73 male) from one of polish national universities on faculty of social sciences. Data has been analysed using T-Students test and Linear Regression models. Results: T-Students test results indicated that female students had significantly higher education outcomes and study results scores than male students. Regression analysis revealed that gender as a moderating factor of linguistic capital was a significant predictor in regard to students education outcomes and study results. The main part of linguistic capital significantly moderated by gender were language experiences, regarded toward study results scores. Conclusions: Female students have equall linguistic capital and language experiencess as male students, althoug they are more capable in using that capitale for their benefit in the context of academic education. Implication of the study and future recommendation are advised.

The paper deals with problems of internationalisation of higher education in the Slovak Republic with the focus on the University of Žilina in Žilina.

The internationalization of higher education has become a strategic priority for governments because of the benefits expected to derive from it in the economic, political, socio-cultural and academic spheres. Nevertheless, a review of the academic literature on internationalization in higher education reveals that the concept of “internationalization” has been understood and applied in a variable manner. Considering that internationalization is a central theme in higher education research and practice, this state of affairs is problematic. In response to this situation, this article proposes the establishment of a conceptual typology for the analysis of national internationalization policies as a solution. In turn, such a heuristic device will ease knowledge accumulation, cross-case comparability and disciplined use of terms and procedures. The paper ends by dispelling common concerns related to classifications.

A review of literature revealed that cross-cultural research had not addressed the topic of ethical decision-making definitions (EDM), environmental factors and EDM models all of which could influence ethical decision-making especially within higher education. The present research study examined ethical decision-making, specifically how it was defined and its process. Then environmental factors were identified by experts as being influential to the process of EDM within higher education in Poland. The research provided focuses mainly on EDM and cultural aspects as related to Poland and higher education. In the conclusion, results were compared to a parallel study that focused on ethical decision-making within higher education in the U.S. This exploratory study used the Delphi research technique to identify an EDM definition that leaders use to make ethical decisions and identify the environmental factors that influence their decisions as well as an EDM model within Poland

The lack of a structured memory device of the Algerian training and research, institutional fragmentation and the lack of visibility of the scientific production make difficult to promoting enhancement of national scientific pool and centers of competence. This dispersion of these resources, is totally at odds with the needs of the Algerian economy which that must be built in a sustainable way, based on the diversification of its wealth, integrating knowledge and research as a development capital. In the agricultural sector, which is our study, Algeria must mobilize its research and training system to the service of its food sovereignty. In this perspective, an agro-biological network of many establishments of research and teaching think about a platform for management, sharing and enhancement of skills and research programs. This is answers the need of teachers, researchers and policy makers, who express by a national survey, their needs of enhancement of their production, in logic to make synergies with the economic sector. This is what we will discuss in our statement on the strategic issues of value-added information system of higher education service and development of economic in Algeria.

Multisectoral approach, so the diversity of actors, not just from the public sector, but also non-governmental and market, as well as the sources of funding, is today becoming the reality in many areas of social policy. In the countries of Central and Eastern Europe the process of pluralization of public services during transition is associated with breaking the previous state's monopoly in this area. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the phenomenon of multi - sector approach in higher education. In this sphere we see strong momentum for pluralization. The examples of Poland and Czech Republic are used to show the importance of market and non-governmental organizations in higher education, as well as show the similarities and differences between systems with similar baseline.

The social sciences have inherited a not so clear relationship with the social politics throughout the history. At the first moment the concept of social sciences came into use in the 19th century the first organizations that were promoting them were not located in the universities. They were located in the Public Sector. They brought into the scenery not only professional of the area, but also politicians, clerics and businessmen. The main objective was the promoting of the reforms that consider the social politics able to improve the so defined social problems. These associations thought that by collecting different kind of data regarding these problems they would reach a clear insight on the directions the state should follow in the framework of different politics and reforms. As a result, the national research capacity is of the highest importance to the ability of a state to invent and implement successfully its politics based on evidences that concern and come as a reaction to the concerns and issues of the social problems as a whole. In this article I will be presenting first of all an overview of the scientific research in Albania in the area of the social sciences by pointing out the main areas that deserve to be the prior ones in the contest of developing activities that aim the implementation of the research in Social Sciences. Also, a great number of Institutions has been contacted with the aim of receiving official information and data on the functioning and on the potential problems that can be faced during the research processes. These institutions have been selected based on their involvement at the area of the scientific research of the social sciences. At first this will involve the policy makers at the central level, like the Ministry of Education and Sciences and the main research actors in the public and in the private sector. The criteria of the geographical and the subjects coverage has been also used in order to be able to present a public institutions of the higher education and research but even the enterprises that act in the research area are mainly focusing to the integration of these two systems which have been working separately for a long period of time and that must become efficient in order to adapt to the conditions of a country that has limited financial resources. This article is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific research in Albania, focusing in defining the priority areas for the research in social sciences. The information about the higher education and the potential problems that it faces, is based on a big number of research institutions, selected based on their involvement in scientific research in social sciences. This article brings into evidence the fact that in order to establish a stable and effective infrastructure in scientific research in Albania, is important to work in different directions. A successful way to increase the efficasity through the elements of the “innovative system” is by working with organizations that work in specific sectors of the economy, aiming for a possible cooperation in scientific search, for an important social contribution.

Artykuł opisuje zmiany instytucjonalne oraz struktury finansowania szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce. W rezultacie przeprowadzonych zmian prawnych ponad 20% dochodów publiczne szkoły wyższe czerpią z komercyjnej działalności dydaktycznej. Pozostałą część pieniędzy zapewnia im prowadzenie badań naukowych i dotacja budżetowa. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na gwałtowny wzrost popytu na usługi szkolnictwa wyższego i rozwój sektora prywatnego w jego ramach. Przeprowadzono próbę wyjaśnienia obu zjawisk. Pokazano, że motorem rozwoju prywatnych uczelni był wzrost popytu związany z wyżem demograficznym. Z analizy wynika, że uczelnie prywatne nie stanowią konkurencji wobec uczelni państwowych pod względem możliwości badawczych i zakresu prowadzonych badań, konkurencja jest ograniczona do działalności dydaktycznej.(abstrakt oryginalny)

The author of the article describes institutional and financial changes in Polish higher education system. As a consequence of legal changes more than 20% of public universi­ties incomes comes from the fee-paying didactic activity. The other sources are from scientific researches and budget subsidies. The particular attention was paid to the fast growth of demand for higher education services and private sector development. The trail to explain these two phenomenon was made. It was shown that the growing de­mand connected with the population boom caused a rapid development of private uni­versities. However, the analysis shows that the private universities are not competitive to public one 's in respect of research abilities and it 's range, the competitiveness is limited to the didactic activity.

The article outlines the evolution of the tertiary education system in Poland since 1990. The discussion focuses on four areas: 1) determinants of educational policy and the related stereotypes, 2) ways of presenting the functions of tertiary education, 3) characteristics of the Polish tertiary education system based on the numerical data, 4) requests for limiting further growth of the tertiary education sector in Poland. The discussion starts with the stereotypes underlying Poland's policy governing the development of the tertiary education sector. Particular factors that can be used for formulating relevant strategies are named and characterised. This introductory section provides grounds for presenting data illustrating the expansion of the Polish tertiary education sector, mainly the numbers of colleges, students and academic faculty members between 1990 and 2009. The situation is additionally clarified with student-to-teacher ratios and enrolment ratios. All this information serves as a backdrop against which certain elements of the new tertiary education law of 2011 are presented to show the goals to be pursued by the Polish tertiary education policy. The last section of the article points to the basic factors that must be taken into account, if higher education is to fulfil needs other than market needs.
