Description: Lot of 6 books on higher education Teacher Educators Rethink Self-Assessment in Higher Education This edited book provides readers with a guide for implementing self-assessment and self-evaluation that is based on a model implemented successfully in a diverse range of teacher education courses. Educators from disciplines as diverse as theater arts, early childhood, psychology, mathematics, and science education have adopted a model of self-assessment and self-evaluation that supports the individual ongoing assessment of learning throughout a course as well as the final synthesis of individual learning in the course. Self-assessment and self-evaluation are presented here as a means to help students and teachers reinvent the learning proces. Anchored in Place: Rethinking the university and development in South Africa Tensions in South African universities have traditionally centred around equity (particularly access and affordability), historical legacies (such as apartheid and colonialism), and the shape and structure of the higher education system. What has not received sufficient attention, is the contribution of the university to place-based development. Higher Education Leadership and Governance in the Development of the Creative and Cultural Industries in Kenya This book looks at the role higher education leadership and governance has in the development of creative and cultural industries in Kenya. It addresses the perceived disconnect between the practice of knowledge of the creative industries and the educational approach of the same at the university level and how this impacts on leadership in the country. The result of three years of research in a field that is amorphous, changing by the day due to a lack of clear policies to regulate it (especially with theatre and film production), this volume serves as a bridge between the creative and cultural industries and the world of academia.

Effects of Higher Education Reforms: Change Dynamics This volume presents a collection of contributions that go beyond reform agendas as such and focus on the effects of reforms at all relevant levels in higher education systems. It is organised in four themes—education, research, governance, and academic profession—with a variety of levels of analysis, theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches and geographical foci. Higher Education Choice in China: Social stratification, gender and educational inequality Much of the existing research on parental involvement and higher education choice examines the difference between the working class and the middle class, but little literature looks at different factions within the social classes. This book discusses higher education choice in China, particularly through the examination of social issues such as social stratification, parental involvement, and gender and educational inequality.
