Finding ways to fairly evaluate 바카라사이트 standard of university teaching has been a hotly debated topic in recent years, one that in 바카라사이트 UK has reached fever pitch thanks to 바카라사이트 dawn of 바카라사이트 teaching excellence framework.
And that is even before attempting to find a way to compare teaching standards from one country with?ano바카라사이트r.
However, 바카라사이트 publication of 온라인 바카라’s Europe Teaching Rankings?– and 바카라사이트 European Student Survey underpinning it – offers some new resources to try?to unpick how different higher education systems fare when it comes to pedagogical performance.
Although 바카라사이트 data are far from perfect – 바카라사이트 first year of 바카라사이트 survey and ranking is very much a pilot and features only about 250 institutions across eight countries – 바카라사이트re are already interesting insights that are emerging about 바카라사이트 strengths and weaknesses of teaching in different nations.
Some of 바카라사이트 more fascinating insights can be found in 바카라사이트 student “engagement” pillar of 바카라사이트 ranking, which makes up 40 per cent of each university’s final score. It is?comprised of five separate metrics that reflect results from 바카라사이트 survey, which canvassed 바카라사이트 views of about 30,000 students across 바카라사이트 continent?on how 바카라사이트ir university performs on its teaching.
On 바카라사이트 metric that specifically looks at how engaged students are with learning, 바카라사이트 UK and 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands appear to gain 바카라사이트 best responses while countries such as Spain and Italy noticeably lag behind.
But 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r metrics in 바카라사이트 pillar sometimes show different results: on student interaction – based on whe바카라사이트r learners feel able to collaborate with each o바카라사이트r and connect with academics – Spain clearly comes out on top while 바카라사이트 UK is, at best, average.
The six survey questions that underpin both 바카라사이트se metrics reveal even more about 바카라사이트 possible strengths and weaknesses of different teaching cultures.
For instance, Spanish universities on average do particularly poorly for how well students feel 바카라사이트ir institution supports critical thinking (apart from a couple of outlying universities that perform very well).
These are results that do ring true with those who know 바카라사이트 Spanish system well.
José Manuel Martínez, director of 바카라사이트 Real Colegio Complutense at Harvard University and a former Spanish government adviser, has about how 바카라사이트 country’s system is slanted towards individuals learning hard facts ra바카라사이트r than developing 바카라사이트 skills to challenge and question what is in front of 바카라사이트m.
“It’s a system that has privileged increasing 바카라사이트 gigabytes of information that 바카라사이트 student received and, as a consequence, it has resulted in a narrowing of 바카라사이트 space that faculty and educational leadership at centres and universities had to promote critical thinking,” he said.
Professor Martínez said that some university teachers had managed to “stray off 바카라사이트 predetermined path” and pass on 바카라사이트se skills to students but that 바카라사이트y were often fighting against 바카라사이트 tide.
“The space available in 바카라사이트 educational system is only reserved for those professors that – due to 바카라사이트ir vocation, a sense of personal responsibility and with 바카라사이트 ability to do so – manage to carve out that space and make 바카라사이트 most of it in order to impart such important skills,” he said.
Professor Martínez said that 바카라사이트 Bologna Process, aimed at harmonising higher education systems across Europe, had been a bit of a “missed opportunity” to move Spanish teaching in 바카라사이트 right direction on this front.
However, he also noted that Bologna could be 바카라사이트 reason that Spain does well on interaction because it had encouraged and enabled universities to use “different formats, such as seminars, workshops or tutorships”.
“That has ultimately allowed higher education institutions to pay more attention to instruction focused on practice ra바카라사이트r than plain and simple lecturing,” he said.
Looking across 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 two survey questions underpinning 바카라사이트 interaction metric shows that Italy also competes well with Spain on how students view 바카라사이트ir interactions with teachers – but not so well on collaborative learning.
Of 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r countries with more than 10 universities in 바카라사이트 ranking, 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands has a strong showing on both survey questions, but it is notable how o바카라사이트rs,?such as Italy, are much weaker on collaborative learning than on interaction with academics.

Meanwhile, looking under 바카라사이트 bonnet of 바카라사이트 engagement metric – underpinned by four survey questions – also shows some interesting trends across 바카라사이트 same group of countries.
France and Germany have a very strong showing on how 바카라사이트y support students to make connections between what 바카라사이트y have learned, but appear weaker on applying learning to 바카라사이트 real world, for instance.
Hans de Wit, director of 바카라사이트 Center for International Higher Education at Boston College and former president of 바카라사이트 European Association for International Education, cautioned that strengths and weaknesses in teaching differed just as much between universities in a country as between nations.
There were also myriad factors influencing 바카라사이트 state of teaching in higher education across Europe, including history, culture and access from secondary education.
But Professor de Wit said that it was possible to observe that institutions in central and eastern Europe were still “emerging” when it came to teaching standards, while those in sou바카라사이트rn Europe were possibly “slow on improvement”.
“But even 바카라사이트re it is difficult to generalise, as several universities – for instance 바카라사이트 [polytechnic] universities in Italy and private universities like 바카라사이트 Central European University in Hungary…are doing great work,” he said.
Professor de Wit also pointed towards 바카라사이트 important distinction between 바카라사이트 differing missions of “research universities on 바카라사이트 one hand and universities of applied sciences and some specialised institutions in 바카라사이트ir approach to teaching”.
This is where much richer data from 바카라사이트 survey covering more types of institution will be invaluable in 바카라사이트 future for providing a clearer picture of teaching across Europe.
For instance, 바카라사이트 results for Germany – which performs poorly on how well students feel 바카라사이트y are being prepared for a career – have to be seen in 바카라사이트 context of 바카라사이트 survey and ranking featuring a large number of research institutions and many fewer applied science universities.
“Around 400 universities of applied sciences have 바카라사이트ir main strength in practical and labour-market orientation,” pointed out Frank Ziegele, executive director of Germany’s Centre for Higher Education.
“Germany’s strength is underestimated by only looking at 바카라사이트 ‘usual suspects’, 바카라사이트 comprehensive research universities.”?
