RESUMENExiste ya una gran acumulación de trabajos que critican el modo en que la universidad se está concretando, tanto a nivel local comomundial. Las principales críticas se centran en la orientación mercantil, tanto como en el abandono de la identidad basada en laconstrucción colectiva y desinteresada de conocimiento. A pesar de la envergadura de la crítica, las publicaciones no abundan enla descripción de alternativas, que reciben comparativamente muy poco esfuerzo. Se observa, además, que los procesos de cambiose afianzan con rapidez y poca resistencia, por lo que resulta ya urgente dar forma a modos alternativos de hacer universidad. Porello, este trabajo plantea un diagnóstico crítico sobre la institución actual, pero se sitúa en una clara perspectiva propositiva. Para ellorealiza una investigación empírica mediante entrevistas en profundidad a 16 miembros del profesorado universitario español que hanpublicado trabajos críticos en torno a la universidad y a principios rectores o propuestas concretas. El objetivo fue no solo describirsomeramente la universidad que contempla este profesorado experimentado sobre el asunto, sino también identificar barreras para suconsecución y posibles soluciones. Los resultados permiten identificar varias categorías relevantes y diseñar un guion de trabajo paraorientar el proceso hacia la buena universidad.Palabras Clave: Buena universidad, Universidad crítica, Revolución universitaria, Transformación de la universidad.ABSTRACTThere is already a great accumulation of work that criticize the way in which the university is specifying itself, both locally and globally.The majority of the criticism focuses on the commercial orientation, as well as on the abandonment of identity based on the collectiveand uninterested construction of knowledge. Despite the magnitude of the criticism, publications do not abound in the description ofalternatives, which receive comparatively very little effort. It is also observed that the processes of change take hold quickly and withlittle resistance, therefore it appears to be urgent to give shape to alternative ways of making universities.

This study aims to show the importance of evaluating the teaching performance level of the University teaching members. It also aims to provide the suggested mechanisms for evaluating the teaching performance of the teaching staff members of Sebha University. This study was based mainly on documents and analytic description to collect information about the importance and ways of evaluating teachers with reference to some of the international experiences on teaching performance development. This study concluded that the absence of an experienced entity that would develop the teaching performance of faculty members is one of the main reasons for the weak teaching performance at Sebha University. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that there should be a planned system based on measured standards and criteria for evaluating staff members to improve the quality of teaching in the higher education domain.

This chapter shows how virtual and physical learning spaces are shaped by pedagogy. It explores the shift in pedagogy from an orientation to teaching to an emphasis on student learning. In so doing, it touches on Net Generation literature indicating that this concept has a poor fit with the diverse nature of student populations engaged in lifelong learning. The argument is that the skill set required for lifelong learning is not age related. At the core of the chapter is a case study of the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) which describes a history of learning environments that have been variously shaped by pedagogy and the limits of technology. It refers to the concept of the ‘edgeless university’, which acknowledges that learning is no longer cloistered within campus walls, and it describes how USQ is engaging with this concept through the development of open source learning materials. An important point in the chapter is that the deliberate design of quality learning spaces requires whole-of-institution planning, including academic development for university teaching staff, themselves often ill-equipped to take advantage of the potential of new learning environments. The import of the discussion is that higher education learning spaces are shaped by deliberate design, and that student learning is optimised when that design is pedagogically informed and properly managed.

The purpose of the work is to evaluate the potential of a high school teacher; the subject of study is employment potential and competitiveness of the university faculty member; research methods include analysis of statistical data and online-survey. The article presents the results of the research potential of the university teaching staff in the conditions of ongoing reforms in higher education and in connection with changing requirements to higher education institutions forfaculty members. It was determined that faculty members demonstrate high loyalty and commitment, but average engagement. It was revealed that the institution creates proper conditions for development and self-realization, creativity and communication. It was confirmed that university professors have a high scientific and innovative potential and willingness to conduct research. The conclusion is that the employment potential of university staff is not used to the full. It was determined that the majority of the teaching staff appreciates personal competitiveness. And only one out of five is aware of the need to develop their personal competitiveness in line with the new requirements. The results of the study may be useful for university governance within the management of human resources quality.

This research assess the effects of training program based on the usage of the digital learning objects in teaching practice at the Northern Borders University staff. E Assessment through the tablets and smart phones and the teachers’ attitudes towards such way of evaluation is the major objective of this study as the researcher expects that the assessment mechanism in the university through utilization of tablets and smart phones and its application will inevitably bring in a systematic improvement in the assessment and evaluation process of the curricula. Moreover, making use of the e learning objects in training will make a significant change in e training program of the university. Hence, the researcher has chosen voluntary random samples from the university teaching staff (men\women) from various different faculties (medicine, medical sciences, science, education and arts, business administration, home economics, and science and literature). These samples included 300 members of the teaching staff. In a group of 20 to 25 members, a personal training was conducted regarding the usage of tablets and smart phones and its applications in the assessment process. Each group participated by producing a complete e-assessment for their students in the Northern Borders University and by the e learning system i.e. Blackboard and Question Mark. The research also depends on the semi-experimental design of multiple groups and on testing the groups’ pre and post achievement tests. In addition, the research identifies the level of the university teaching staff in using the tablets and the smartphones and its applications in the assessment process by the note card that the individuals have during the test.
