Cuthbert, Robert E. – Studies in Higher Education, 1988
A discussion of the relationship between educational quality and institutional management in higher education considers such issues as management's part in ensuring high quality educational performance, how closely connected management decisions are to educational decisions, and the means for judging institutional and administrative performance.…

Enders, Jürgen; Naidoo, Rajani – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
Our paper examines the rise of a new category of professional support staff whom we refer to as 'audit-market intermediaries' in the context of a rapidly changing regulatory and funding environment in British higher education. We explore the roles they play in articulating environmental changes in research-intensive universities related to the…

Upadhyaya, Pallavi; Rajasekharan Pillai, K. – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
The role of research-embedded higher education is regarded as one of the driving forces of any growing economy. Higher education institutions (HEIs) are recognized, among their peers, for their quality of research outcome. Hence, with growing emphasis on research worldwide, HEIs strive hard to improve their research output. The proposed study…

Bandola-Gill, Justyna; Smith, Katherine E. – Studies in Higher Education, 2022
Performance assessment is permeating increasingly diverse domains of higher education, even in areas previously perceived to be too complex and idiosyncratic to quantify. The UK's attempts to assess 'research impact' within the Research Excellence Framework (REF) are illustrative of this trend and are being closely monitored by several other…

This article is derived from a three-year ethnography of distributed medical education at one Canadian University across two Canadian provinces. It explores the ways in which students and staff work inside the technologically rich teaching environments within which the curriculum is delivered. Drawing on data constructed through observations,…

Smith, Karen – Studies in Higher Education, 2010
As transnational education collaborations increase so too do concerns about the quality of provision. To address these concerns, national codes of good practice have been written to guide exporting institutions on how to set up and manage international collaborations, so that academic standards and student experiences are not compromised. This…

Tymms, Peter; Higgins, Steve – Studies in Higher Education, 2018
The United Kingdom's (UK's) Research Excellence Framework of 2014 was an expensive high stakes evaluation which had a range of impacts on higher education institutions across the country. One component was an assessment of the quality of research outputs where a major feature was a series of panels organised to read and rate the outputs of their…

McCaig, Colin; Taylor, Carol – Studies in Higher Education, 2017
The paper analyses the impact of a higher education (HE) funding mechanism, the "High Grades" policy, introduced as part of a student number control regime in England that was introduced in 2012/13 and withdrawn after only two years. This marked the end of an experiment in market making based on quality and price within a fixed student…

McCardle, Lindsay; Webster, Elizabeth A.; Haffey, Adrianna; Hadwin, Allyson F. – Studies in Higher Education, 2017
Task-specific goals play a critical role in self-regulated learning, yet little research has examined students' self-set goals for authentic study sessions. We propose high-quality goals that are useful for guiding task engagement and evaluating progress are specific about (a) time, (b) actions, (c) standards, and (d) content. In Study 1, we…

Perera, Srinath; Babatunde, Solomon Olusola; Zhou, Lei; Pearson, John; Ekundayo, Damilola – Studies in Higher Education, 2017
Recognition of the huge variation between professional graduate degree programmes and employer requirements, especially in the construction industry, necessitated a need for assessing and developing competencies that aligned with professionally oriented programmes. The purpose of this research is to develop a competency mapping framework (CMF) in…

Selvik, Jon T.; Abrahamsen, Eirik B.; Moen, Vegard – Studies in Higher Education, 2022
Systems thinking is challenging but clearly important in higher education to understand relationships between different elements influencing the quality and student learning and achievement. A similar challenge is found in healthcare, where patient safety activities are more and more seen and dealt with in a broader system perspective. A…

Wallace, Ann; Panteli, Niki – Studies in Higher Education, 2018
In this paper, we discuss the importance of relevance in the provision of eLearning for the pursuit of higher education (HE). In particular, we argue how the extant literature focuses on quality and security in the design of eLearning platforms, but pays scant attention to how relevant the platform and the programme contents are to the needs of…

Fontinha, Rita; Van Laar, Darren; Easton, Simon – Studies in Higher Education, 2018
Quality of working life has been defined as the part of overall quality of life that is influenced by work. We developed a mediation model where home-work interface, job and career satisfaction, control at work, and working conditions are considered to be positively related to employee commitment and to the absence of stress at work. These two…

Schouteden, Wendy; Verburgh, An; Elen, Jan – Studies in Higher Education, 2016
The integration of research into teaching is a new and important focus in teaching-intensive institutions in higher education. Given the paucity of empirical insight into the research--teaching relationship in teaching-intensive institutions, teachers' research conceptions are studied as a first step in understanding the research--teaching…
