“…In this era of knowledge-based economy, it becomes increasingly important for higher-education institutes to create extensive educational resources and reinforce the sharing mechanism for a better quality of education (Pausits & Pellert, 2009). In the last decades especially, the vocational and technical institutes at the higher education level in Taiwan have rapidly grown from 67 institutes in 2001 to 77 institutes in 2010 (Ministry of Education, 2011).…”

Problem Statement: Turkey's passive and task-oriented approach to citizenship education, which has endured since the Ottoman Empire period, has begun to change into more active and democratic citizenship education since Turkey joined the European Union. Identifying the practical problems as well as describing the challenges when practicing the Social Studies curriculum will contribute to citizenship education and its development, both in Turkey and in similar countries. Purpose of Study:The purpose of the present study is to explore the active and democratic citizenship education procedures in Social Studies course in Turkey and to determine the challenges encountered in active citizenship education. Methodology:The study was conducted using a holistic, multiple-case study design. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations and documents. In this study, extreme or deviant case sampling was used. The study was conducted in two schools: a state school with a low socioeconomic background and a private school with high socioeconomic background. A total of six volunteer teachers and 30 students from both of the schools participated in the study. Findings:The study found that the citizenship perceptions, political views and educational backgrounds of the teachers had an effect on the citizenship education in their lessons. Furthermore, the age, maturity level, gender and social environment of the students had an effect on implementing citizenship education. Also, the test-centered educational system, traditional school organizations and culture, and the relevant legislations and regulations limited the ability of teachers to handle

“…Sowohl auf Landesebene als auch im Kontext der deutschen Hochschulrektorenkonferenz, der Allianzen zwischen Universit€ aten aber auch der European University Association finden sich etablierte Arbeitsgruppen, in denen Erfahrungen und Fachwissen im Bereich des Hochschulmanagements ausgetauscht werden. Im Bereich des administrativen Hochschulmanagements l€ asst sich Professionalisierung vor allem in Hinblick auf die Etablierung von Berufsverb€ anden und spezialisierten Studien-und Fortbildungsprogrammen im Wissenschafts-und Hochschulmanagement beobachten (Pausits und Pellert 2009). So gibt es neben den traditionellen Vereinigungen der Universit€ ats-und Hochschulkanzler mittlerweile auch einen Bundesverband "Netzwerk-Wissenschaftsmanagement".…”

“…Universities in many Western countries are in a state of flux, with new and complex roles to fulfil in relation to the economy and society (Munck & McConnell, 2009; Ferlie et al ., 2008). They are now often called ‘entrepreneurial’ or ‘transforming’, and expressions such as ‘the invisible hand models of regulation’, ‘academic capitalism’, ‘changing patterns of governance and learning’, and ‘the commercialization of university research’ can be heard almost everywhere (Pausits & Pellert, 2009; Guthrie & Neumann, 2007; Czarniawska & Genell, 2002; Marginson & Considine, 2000).…”

In the last 30 years, major changes have taken place in the public sector worldwide under the rubric of New Public Management [NPM]. The education sector is perhaps one of the key areas drawing an intense interest and discussion in the wake of NPM. The Russian State seems to be no longer an exception to this global trend. In line with this, the Russian education sector was declared as a large‐scale top priority national project in the late summer of 2005, which was aimed to help raise the living standards of each Russian citizen. This empirical paper seeks to reveal the major institutional and legal changes taking place in Russian higher education over time. This insight is vital as it points to the contexts in which Russian public universities operate. To make the acquaintance of a system of Russian higher education, this research sketches its evolution. It commences from the Soviet era to the present time, highlighting the most significant government initiatives.
