The paper presents a critique of evaluation in Higher Education in the light of transparency, accountability and comparability at Higher Education Stage. It is observed that prevalent fallacies in the evaluation process restrict the comparability of scores achieved by the degree-holders; in this, lack of correspondence in the instructional objectives, curricular modes of transaction, evaluation criteria and needs at the societal level come into picture. It is asserted that use of randomizers for appointment of examiners at the State/National Level is the need of the hour. Suggestion is made that innovations in examination process be carried out by C.B.C.S. and Universities and institutions of eminence be tried out at the higher education level; this may help break the tedium attending education processes at the higher education level.

<p>Indonesia currently faces multidimensional threats, from small to large, concerning all aspects of the country's life, from ideology, politics, economics, social, culture, defense, and security. The nature of contemporary threat has a human security aspect rather than only state security. As such, a thorough effort is needed to deal with those Threats, Disruption, Obstacle, Challenge (TDOC). State defense can be the answer to such problems because state defense itself can be interpreted as an obligation and responsibility of citizens to maintain the existence and sovereignty of the state. State defense will be optimal if disseminated through formal education. In this case, the formal education in question is at the level of higher education. This paper proposes that state defense can be held at higher education level in the form of university compulsory course, and is organized under the name State Defense Education. This State Defense Education is not military education or conscription, but an education that is adjusted to the condition and nuance of higher education.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Threat, Human Security, State Defense, and State Defense Education</p>

This study aims to comparatively explore the role of the state (federal policy) in distance-education initiatives in the higher education communities of Sweden and the United States. In a globalized context, education institutes now have the capabilities to provide education and educational resources more efficiently and to a wide-ranging and diverse audience. Within the education sector and distance education, the role of the state and federal policy becomes increasingly important, in terms of how distance-education platforms are developed and implemented in institutions of higher education. The first section of this article provides an overview of the United States and Sweden's current higher education and distance-education landscapes, focusing on the role of the state and federal policy with respect to the funding and overall aims of distance education. The development of distance education in Sweden is highly related to political goals and policies, the top down/domestic/‘inside’ approach. The governing body dictates the funding and policy for distance education, and implementation is left to the university body. In the United States, the landscape differs in that no one federal institution provides direct funding or unified guidelines for developing distance education, but universities are left to their own devices and capabilities for implementation. In Sweden, high ambitions and goals are set at the national level, but the educational organizations are changing only slowly. The pressures on the education organizations are high because of steadily decreasing funding and fewer and fewer staff in relation to students. In the United States, education functions primarily as a state and local responsibility. In conclusion, the article aims to exploit the differences between the two countries' role of the state (federal policy) in distance-education policy, and present a middle ground which would be most balanced for distance education, entailing some federal supervision with the allowance for a certain level of autonomy in regards to development, implementation, funding and longevity.

On the termination of nearly twenty years since the beginning of commercialization of the Ukrainian higher education the intensity of discussion of its purposes, results and possible amendments don't decrease neither among experts, nor among the interested public. Supporters and opponents of commercialization note that education is that social branch which participates in the formation of prerequisites of economic growth. The main point of the article is to disclose the essence of the phenomena of economism and commercialization. Economism is seen as part of globalization of education, a global corporatization of education provides training for the global labour market, using human capital economic theories. As noted by George Spring, the human capital, economists argue that investments in education lead to economic growth, reducing income inequality and increasing employment. The article confirms that the state educational policy as a component of social policy is one of instruments of influence of the state on formation of social structure and is directed ​​ to the solution of problems of societal level. It does relevant sociological examination of transformational processes in education and, in particular, results of commercialization. Thus, it is possible to claim that the educational system tests the uncommon influence of globalization, forming and building a peculiar system of the relations and interaction.

<p>The legislation that establishes the National Higher Education Evaluation System (SINAES) states that the institutional self-evaluation process in Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (BHEI) must be made periodically and compulsorily. However, the legislation, regulamentation and technical notes do not have a toolset (evaluative instrumentation, quality and quantitative metrics, diagnostic criteria, etc.) for conception, application and data analysis in self-evaluative processes. Among the various techniques and instruments used by many BHEI, this research tried to collect the most productive and efficient ones which were compatible with SINAES so as to obtain a metamodel able to guide the assembling and management of computerized internal institutional evaluations, in which software interface prototyping techniques were employed for its validation.</p>

La intención de este artículo es hacer observable la academización de la Universidad Veracruzana (UV), como uno de los cambios más significativos que ha tenido lugar en nuestra institución, y que le ha permitido sentar las bases para transitar de una institución centrada en la docencia (tradicionalista) a ser una universidad moderna. Para lograrlo analizamos algunos indicadores fundamentales como: el total de Profesores de Tiempo Completo (PTC), su grado académico y el total de PTC con perfil deseable PROMEP (Programa de Mejoramiento del Profesorado), miembros del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI) y del Sistema Nacional de Creadores (SNC). El análisis muestra un panorama general institucional, así como las brechas por áreas académicas y regionales (La Universidad Veracruzana tiene varios campus a lo largo del estado de Veracruz), evidenciando así cómo han sido los procesos y los ritmos en que los académicos de la UV han culminado sus procesos de habilitación. El artículo no solo permite apreciar una evolución diferenciada de la Universidad Veracruzana, también es posible ubicar a nivel nacional su posición con respecto a otras Instituciones de Educación Superior. Los restos entonces se presentan en dos escenarios al interior de la Universidad y frente a otras instituciones.AbstractThis article intends to illustrate the “academization” of ‘Universidad Varacruzana’ as one of the most significant changes taking place in our Institution. A change that has laid the foundations of the transition from a (traditionalist) teacher-centred model to a modern university. To achieve this goal we analyse some essential indicators such as: the total number of full-time professors (FTP) fullfilling the required PROMEP (Program for the Improvement of University Professors) indicators, members of the National Researchers System (SNI) and the National Systems of Creators (SNC). This analysis provides an overview of the institution and shows the gaps per academic areas and per regions or campus (our University has several different campuses along the State of Veracruz), which provides evidence of the process and the rates in which the professors of the University have completed their enabling processes. This article will not only allow for visibilizingthe differentiated evolution of ‘Universidad Veracruzana’, but also contributes to a clear understanding of the position of our university at the national level  with regard to other Higher Education Institutions. The challenges are viewed in two different scenarios: at the interior of the university and in comparison to other institutions.  Recibido: 03 de julio de 2012Aceptado: 05 de noviembre de 2012
