The Professoriate: Profile of a Profession
ISBN: 9781402033827 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. What does it mean to be an academic in the twenty first century? Clearly, there is no one answer to this question, as the diversity evident in the following chapters reveals. Elite research universities often tend to join with others of their kind, so that a professor from an elite US institution may well undertake a Japanese sabbatical (if at all) at the University of Tokyo, a UK semester at Oxford or Cambridge, or an Australian semester at the University of Sydney, or perhaps Melbourne. At each, they can expect to have at their disposal well-stocked libraries, replete with requisite books,...

ISBN: 9789811579233 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book examines the quality assessment movement in academic scholarship, as globalization prompts a search for global measures of university services and output. It gauges productivity in terms of universal publication metrics, and considers ranking and research productivity from a comparative perspective. The book considers the use of the “impact factor” as a gauge of publication value, noting that this less important in countries lacking central government appropriations to universities and to research. It argues that pressure to publish in certain journals, and to research...

Renaissance Epic and the Oral Past
ISBN: 9780300178869 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book explores why Renaissance epic poetry clung to fictions of song and oral performance in an age of growing literacy. Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century poets, Anthony Welch argues, came to view their written art as newly distinct from the oral cultures of their ancestors. Welch shows how the period's writers imagined lost civilizations built on speech and song--from Homeric Greece and Celtic Britain to the Americas--and struggled to reconcile this oral inheritance with an early modern culture of the book. Welch's wide-ranging study offers a new perspective on Renaissance Europe's epic...

ISBN: 9780792349594 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This special double issue consists of a selection of papers presented at the Ninth World Congress of Comparative Education, held at the University of Sydney, Australia, in July 1996, on the theme of "Tradition, Modernity and Post-modernity in Comparative Education."

When...

Third World Education: Quality and Equality
ISBN: 9780815313946 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work debunks the argument that quality in education can only be achieved by limiting, or trading off, equality. The quality of schooling is a major issue for Third World nations across the globe. However there is no single measure which is universally accepted. Whether it is, as some economists might argue, an issue of the number of desks per classroom or one of national sovereignty is widely disputed. Defining equality in education becomes increasingly difficult in an era of globalization in which there exists a wide gap between rich and poor, both within and between nations. In the...
