Its outspoken thesis posits that seemingly irresistible institutional pressures are betraying a core principle of the Enlightenment: that the free pursuit of knowledge is of the highest value in its own right. As ‘market principles’ are forced on universities, inducing a neoteric culture of ‘managerialism’, many worry that the very characteristics that made European higher education in particular such a success are being eroded and replaced by ideological opportunism and economic expediency.   Richly interdisciplinary, the anthology explores a wealth of issues such as the phenomenon of bibliometrics (linking an institution’s success to the volume and visibility of publications produced). Many argue that the use of such indicators to measure scientific value is inimical to the time-consuming complexities of genuine truth-seeking. A number of the greatest discoveries and innovations in the history of science, such as Newton’s laws of mechanics or the Mendelian laws of inheritance, might never have seen the light of day if today’s system of determining and defining the form and content of science had dominated. With analytical perspectives from political science, economics, philosophy and media studies, the collection interrogates, for example, the doctrine of graduate employability that exerts such a powerful influence on course type and structure, especially on technical and professional training. In contrast, the liberal arts must choose between adaptation to the dictates of employability strategies or wither away as enrollments dwindle and resources evaporate. Research projects and aims have also become an area of controversy, with many governments now assessing the value of proposals in terms of assumed commercial benefits. The contributors argue that these changes, aswell as ‘reforms’ in the managerial and administrative structures in tertiary education, constitute a radical break with the previous ontology of science and scholarship: a change in its very character, and not merely its form. It shows that the ‘scientific thinking’ students, researchers, and scholars are encouraged to adopt is undergoing a rapid shift in conceptual content, with significant consequences not only for science, but also for the society of which it is a part.Higher Education Dynamics,2215-1923 ;39Education, HigherEducation and stateEducational sociologyEconomic developmentEconomic policyHigher EducationEducational Policy and PoliticsSociology of EducationEconomic Development, Innovation and GrowthEconomic PolicyEducation, Higher.Education and state.Educational sociology.Economic development.Economic policy.Higher Education.Educational Policy and Politics.Sociology of Education.Economic Development, Innovation and Growth.Economic Policy.378Rider Sharon1747710Hasselberg Ylva1749929Waluszewski Alexandra303348MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438064903321Transformations in research, higher education and the academic market4184392UNINA01075nam0 22002771i 450 UON0034445920231205104312.43620091110d1978 |0itac50 barumRO|||| 1||||Scrisori catre Vasile AlecsandriEditie ingrijita, prefata, note, traduceri de Marta AnineanuBucurestiMinerva1978XII, 470 p.24 cm.ALECSANDRI VASILEUONC073839FILetteratura romenaCarteggiUONC073039FIROBucureştiUONL000071859Letteratura romena e letterature ladine21ANINEANUMartaUONV187391Editura MinervaUONV275495650ITSOL20251010RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00344459SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI BUONINCONTRO B 0192 SI EO 44461 5 0192 Scrisori catre Vasile Alecsandri1360616UNIOR
