摘要:

AbstractAppraisal and accountability become meaningful only m terms of declared and agreed objectives. The article, which deals in the main but not on&with teaching and learning, shows that teaching objectives can be clarified by relating teaching to research and that appraisal at both individual and institutional level can then be made meaningful. This leads on, quite generally, to a discussion of the potential for good as well as the inherent dangers, of appraisal and accountability in a collegial setting, the vital role played by staff development and training, and the difficulties which arise from an association of appraisal with promotion.

摘要:

AbstractThe American system of higher education — massive, decentralized, and diverse —faces a number of critical issues in the years immediate ahead. This paper considers four of those issues — the impact of demographic change; the long‐term implications for higher education of the national movement to reform secondary education; the growing interest in the character and quality of undergraduate education; and the role of universities, especially research universities, in economic development — and suggests a few of the directions American higher education may take in respons

摘要:

AbstractDrawing on 18 years of experience in university staff development the author considers the way staff training is regarded by academics and relates it to the concept of ‘professionalism’ among university teachers. He describes a two‐year in‐service course for teachers in higher education as an illustration of one form a professional training might take and argues the case for soundly basing such training on considerations of principle and theory. Changing attitudes and perceptions is perhaps more important than learning classroom skills, or management technique. Training should be informed by research but the author illustrates ambivalent attitudes rewards research on universities with a deception of recent personal experience in connection with a national research project on examiners. The inseparability of institutional research and staff development is illustrated with an account of a stuff development exercise associated with the introduction of staff appraised schemes. Lessons are dram from each of the illustrations to suggest some of the key characteristics desirable in a staff college for unive

摘要:

AbstractThis article examines the forces which have constrained student mobility and educational co‐operation within the Commonwealth and the new developments which are seeking to improve the situation. Economic imperatives and political pressures in both receiving and sending countries are seen as the major causes of the decline in mobility. The new developments dandified are preparatory courses, split‐site courses and distance education. The paper argues the need for a coherent constituent approach to increase student mobility in place of the rhetoric which has characterized policy to d
