“…Meanwhile, political science research provides both theoretical and empirical evidences that small communities promote opportunities for participation in democracy (see Dahl and Tufte 1973, Ryšavý and Bernard 2013, Erk and Veenendaal 2014cited in Kouba 2018. Specifically, the social sanctions and norms in small communities create more pressure and incentives, which effectively builds up shared social identity and motivate voting and participation behaviours of the students (Knack 1992;Funk 2010;Kouba 2018;Bolden et al 2014).…”

Does university have an effect on young people’s active citizenship in England?

Educational attainment measured by years of education has been widely reported as leading to higher levels of political participation. The theory is that education plays an important role in a person's civic skills and cognitive capacity that helps them understand and connect with the world of politics and be able to defend their interests (Nie et al. 1996). However, a number of studies argue that education has no effect on political engagement as educational attainment has been identified as a proxy for socioeconomic background and cognitive ability. In order to examine whether the university has an effect on young people's intentions for active citizenship in England, hybrid cumulative logit models are used in the Citizenship Education Longitudinal Study (CELS) 2009-2014 with between and within effects which help explain differences between individuals and within individuals at different time points. Control measures of previous citizenship education are also included in the analysis. We find that the university has a positive independent effect on intentions to vote, a negative effect on intentions to volunteer, but not on intentions to protest in the future for young people in England. These findings help clarify the role of higher education (HE) in developing and maintaining democracy and social cohesion.

“…This is an institutional factor that is not directly related to the push–pull framework. Considering that there is evidence that the small size of Czech faculties is conducive to highly participatory environments with more intensive student engagement (Kouba, 2018), such cultural settings may also be propitious grounds for other participatory behaviors such as spreading the social norm to study abroad. Such a norm was identified as an essential ingredient in study abroad choice (Petzold & Peter, 2015).…”

Balancing Study Abroad Student Inflows and Outflows: An Institutionalist Perspective

The determinants of study abroad student inflows and outflows are analyzed by comparing the faculties of all Czech public universities. The article develops an institutionalist theoretical perspective that views higher education institutions not only as passive senders and receivers of students but also as active gatekeepers that regulate student flows by balancing the inflows with outflows and vice versa. The theoretical argument is developed against the backdrop of existing theories that emphasize the “push–pull” factors as key determinants of student flows. The argument is tested by regression modeling using an original data set. Inflows are associated with past outflows and vice versa, whereas the importance of push–pull factors is surprisingly small. Important policy implications of these findings as well as implications for theory development are discussed.

“…В рамках первой категории работ выделим группу исследований, сосредоточенных на избирательной явке (факте участия) и отдельно -на факторах голосования за конкретных кандидатов (как участие реализовалось). В первом случае доминируют выводы о роли рационально-инструментальных и внешних факторов: значимость индивидуального голоса, количества и характеристик избирателейэлитарности набора, академической успешности, формы обучения [Lewis, Rice, 2005;Kouba, 2018]. Во втором случае наиболее частое подтверждение находят гипотезы о социологических (близость «социального статуса» в рамках университета) и социально-психологических (близость самоидентификаций и лозунгов) факторах Omar, Othman, 2015].…”

Статья посвящена малоисследованному в России, но важному в мировом контексте аспекту университетского менеджмента — студенческому представительству. Опираясь на результаты предшествующих исследований и данные о выборах органов студенческого представительства в НИУ ВШЭ в 2019 г., автор выделяет несколько групп факторов вовлеченности в студенческое представительство. Во-первых, это универсальные детерминанты, связанные с любым типом участия (уровень обучения, материальное положение, академическая и социальная успешность, число однокурсников-единомышленников). Во-вторых, факторы более активного (мужской пол, бюджетное место, неиногороднее происхождение, взаимодействие с научно-педагогическими работниками университета, восприятие конкуренции как вызова) и менее активного участия (женский пол, платное место, иногороднее происхождение, диверсифицированное информационное потребление, неприятие большого объема конкуренции). В статье представлены рекомендации по обустройству эффективного студенческого представительства и стимулированию студентов к участию в нем (сглаживание внутренних неравенств и формирование менее разделенного как в социальном, так и в информационном плане сообщества). Благодарность. Автор выражает признательность Дирекции основных образовательных программ, Центру внутреннего мониторинга, Избирательной комиссии студенческого самоуправления Высшей школы экономики за возможность работы с данными, которые легли в основу исследования.
