Funding Mechanisms

Stratification of higher education is currently being driven by public funding schemes, among other things. Building on a survey of excellence funding initiatives across OECD member countries based on the measurement of excellence in higher education institutions, this contribution focuses on how teaching and learning are integrated into these highly selective funding mechanisms. It turns out that teaching performance is generally much less significant than research. Possible reasons and consequences for this result are discussed.

Pure Research

Current disputes over the nature and purpose of the university are rooted in a philosophical divide between theory and practice. Academics often defend the concept of a university devoted to purely theoretical activities. Politicians and wider society tend to argue that the university should take on more practical concerns. I critique two typical defenses of the theoretical concept—one historical and one based on the value of pure research—and show that neither the theoretical nor the practical concept of a university accommodates all the important goals expected of university research and teaching. Using the classical pragmatist argument against a sharp division between theory and practice, I show how we can move beyond the debate between the theoretical and practical concepts of a university, while maintaining a place for pure and applied research, liberal and vocational education, and social impact through both economic applications and criticism aimed at promoting social justice.

The Individual

Contemporary approaches to the digital transformation of practice in university research and teaching sometimes assume a convergence between the digital and openness. This assumption has led to the idea of ‘digital open scholarship,’ which aims to open up scholarship to participants from outside academic scholarly communities. But scholarship, digitality and openness exist in tension with each other – we can see the individual features of each, but we cannot make sense of the whole picture. It resembles an ‘impossible triangle’. Particularly confounding is the tension between digital scholarship and open knowledge, where the former is focused on the creation by specialist communities of knowledge of a stable and enduring kind, whilst the latter is characterised by encyclopaedic knowledge and participation that is unbounded by affiliation or location. However, we need not be permanently thwarted by the apparent impossibility of this triangle. It is a stimulus to look critically at the contexts of practice in which a relationship between scholarship, digitality and openness is sought. Constructive examples of such critique can be found in the emerging research field of literacy and knowledge practice in the digital university.Keywords: open scholarship, digital scholarship, research, public engagement, literacy, digital university(Published: 31 January 2014)Citation: Research in Learning Technology 2014, 21: 21366 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v21.21366

New Procedures

The incorporation of the new audiovisual technology to the closest social field allows you to use your familiarity and easy access to the research and teaching disciplines of learning also in the university. In particular, it is of utmost importance for the Teaching Innovation Project (TIP) that is addressed in this document: “Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities Techniques Applied to University Research and Teaching in the field of Physics”. It has great advantages for training / learning especially for the last generations, so familiar with all kinds of audiovisual technology. Obviously, introductory complements to the field of specific competencies are needed so that the fundamental training and meaningful learning objective comes to fruition. For this, it is necessary to have a good information base on Physics treated through Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities Techniques, in order to be able to select the appropriate information and level in each of the TIP stages. This base is susceptible to evolution and improvement if sufficient tools and knowledge are available. In addition, it will be possible to generate new procedures based on the strengths and weaknesses appreciated in this TIP.

The 19Th Century

This chapter seeks to understand the context and sequelae of Justus Liebig’s model for university research and teaching. This model was arguably the most important single element in the international rise of graduate education and research, not just in chemistry, but more broadly, over the course of the 19th century, in all academic fields. This chapter avoids hagiography by employing an eclectic approach that places emphasis on contingencies of time, place, and discipline, and briefly examines the results of the story not just in Germany, but also in France, Britain, and the United States.
