El desarrollo actual y las perspectivas futuras de la educación -particularmente de la educación superior- afectarán fuertemente el desempeño de la sociedad por veinte o treinta años-. Por ello, la definición de los lineamientos políticos de la educación es un tema que nos incumbe a todos, en tanto favorecerán -o no- un desarrollo en democracia y con justicia social. En este sentido, se hace necesario el debate para la construcción de una nueva agenda, consensuada de la manera más amplia posible con los actores políticos, sociales, comunitarios y de la educación. Un primer paso es comprender y asumir los actuales problemas, analizar los avances y limitaciones en relación con las políticas educativas -sea que se encuentren en ejecución o proyectadas- y debatir sobre sus posibles perspectivas. Para esto, es importante conocer las tendencias y el estado actual de los debates a nivel nacional, regional y mundial, desde una perspectiva tanto académica como institucional, en el marco de las nuevas responsabilidades que están asumiendo –o que deberían asumir- las universidades. En este artículo se propone abordar un breve panorama sobre la evolución, situación, problemas y desafíos de la educación superior en la región; sobre los procesos de internacionalización, transnacionalización y mercantilización -sus perspectivas y peligros- y sobre la necesaria convergencia de la educación superior frente a los graves problemas actuales de fragmentación y de heterogeneidad de los sistemas educativos latinoamericanos. A modo de conclusión, se plantearán algunos lineamientos y estrategias para la formulación de políticas de educación superior orientadas hacia la construcción de un Espacio Latinoamericano de Educación Superior.
The authors in this study seek to inform academia about international students’ experiences and challenges while attending universities in Small Town USA. Despite their eagerness to study in the United States (U.S.), international students are faced with setbacks that many universities fail to recognize or realize. The researchers conducted in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of students using questions based on information from the literature and an initial survey. The themes that emerged from the data analysis were language, jobs/finances, transportation, assimilation, religious interactions, and identity. Findings emphasize the imperative to understand the challenges these students face as they continue their educational journeys in the United States.
Shared Leadership: Reframing the Hows and Whys of Leadership brings together the foremost thinkers on the subject and is the first book of its kind to address the conceptual, methodological, and practical issues for shared leadership. Its aim is to advance understanding along many dimensions of the shared leadership phenomenon: its dynamics, moderators, appropriate settings, facilitating factors, contingencies, measurement, practice implications, and directions for the future. The volume provides a realistic and practical discussion of the benefits, as well as the risks and problems, associated with shared leadership. It will serve as an indispensable guide for researchers and practicing managers in identifying where and when shared leadership may be appropriate for organizations and teams.
Fabricating Europe has within it a core idea, a crucial but imprecise idea, that of a European educational space, which transnational governance, networks and cultural and economic projects are creating now. Yet, the perceptible creation of this contemporary space of European policy making and networking has not been a subject of study. It appears offstage in studies of national systems in which national and professional identity; political organization; policy formation and public/private markets are all viewed as contained within the borders of the state.
Fabricating Europe is concerned with the new possibilities to be discerned and imagined in the European public and institutional spaces and discourses in education and the lack of impetus within the broad area of educational studies to meet the task of creating analyses and responses.
