Teunissen, R. A. G.; Dierx, J. A. J.; Venter, T.; Young, C. T.; Titus, S. – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
In defining successful collaborative international projects within the theory of change or logic model, focus is often on 'outcome' and 'impact'. Less empirical information is available regarding the 'input' and 'activities' aspects of this model. To address this knowledge gap and to offer insight into pivotal elements for management, this study…

Kohtamäki, Vuokko – Studies in Higher Education, 2022
The Finnish financial autonomy reform pushed university leaders and academics to a juncture where they must navigate through increasing competition dynamics.

Vehviläinen, Sanna; Löfström, Erika – Studies in Higher Education, 2016
Academic supervision of PhD dissertations and master's theses has traditionally been conceptualised as the pedagogy of the dyadic relationship between master and apprentice. Recently, researchers have argued for a more systemic approach. Yet, many communities lack practices for sharing the pedagogical responsibility of supervision. Consequently,…

Malkki, Kaisu; Lindblom-Ylanne, Sari – Studies in Higher Education, 2012
Within higher education, reflection has been seen as a prerequisite to quality teaching and developing as a teacher. However, little empirical research exists concerning the link between teacher reflection and action, which defines the extent to which the teacher's reflection-based views are channelled to the benefit of the students. This article…

Winstone, Naomi E.; Ajjawi, Rola; Dirkx, Kim; Boud, David – Studies in Higher Education, 2022
The increasing prominence of neoliberal agendas in international higher education has led to greater weight being ascribed to student satisfaction, and the national surveys through which students evaluate courses of study. In this article, we focus on the evaluation of feedback processes. Rather than the transmission of information from teacher to…

Altunay, Esen; Tonbul, Yilmaz – Studies in Higher Education, 2015
Many studies indicate that knowledge and knowledge production are the main predictors of social development, welfare and the ability to face the future with confidence. It could be argued that knowledge production is mainly carried out by universities. This study compares 1266 scientific research projects (SRPs) completed by faculties of education…

One central task in higher education is to provide students with interpersonal communication competence in their profession. To achieve this, specialised training, based on an understanding of disciplinary communication practices and appropriate assessment methods, is needed. However, there is a lack of reliable assessment instruments which are…
