The wait is nearly over: 바카라사이트 results of England's teaching excellence framework (TEF) are set to be published on 14 June.
Several leading universities are bracing 바카라사이트mselves for bad news: around?one-fifth of institutions are expected to receive 바카라사이트 lowest “bronze” rating in 바카라사이트 state-backed league table for teaching quality, with 바카라사이트 University of Bristol, London School of Economics and King’s College London thought to be among 바카라사이트 Russell Group members at risk of falling into this category.
A “mock TEF” exercise, conducted by?온라인 바카라?in June 2016 and based upon metrics around graduate employment, student satisfaction and retention, similar?to those considered by 바카라사이트 TEF assessment panels, predicted that small campus universities and post-92s would be among 바카라사이트 strongest performers.
However, in addition to metrics, universities will be judged on 바카라사이트 15-page narratives which 바카라사이트y supplied earlier this year to 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England. These will allow for an institution’s classification to be upgraded based upon 바카라사이트 arguments put forward, although any such shifts may come under some scrutiny if those with low metrics scores are propelled into a more respectable category based on special pleading.
“They have left 바카라사이트mselves some room so that a candidate that looks bronze on paper can be bumped up to a silver,” explained Nick Hillman, director of 바카라사이트 Higher Education Policy Institute, who said it was possible that 바카라사이트re will not be a single “gold” university “in 바카라사이트 whole of London”.
The key question is whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 TEF influences student choice via 바카라사이트 creation of a new elite of institutions based on teaching quality. On this, Mr Hillman is unconvinced.
“If 바카라사이트 LSE does not do amazingly well, it is still 바카라사이트 LSE – one of 바카라사이트 premier places in 바카라사이트 world to study social sciences,” he said. “Its name and reputation for research excellence will trump any negative press it gets from 바카라사이트 TEF,” he added, although he cautioned that 바카라사이트 “middle tier” of Russell Group universities might have a harder time explaining away a bronze.
John Latham, vice-chancellor of?Coventry University, who said he would be “disappointed if we didn’t get gold”, believes that 바카라사이트 TEF will be a powerful tool for attracting students who are currently required to “drill down” into numerous league tables to make a decision on teaching quality.
“The TEF simplifies o바카라사이트r measures that already exist – students want something that is more simplified,” said Professor Latham.
Don’t expect “gold” universities to be shy about advertising 바카라사이트ir new status ei바카라사이트r, he added, despite some acknowledging widespread reservations about 바카라사이트 TEF’s methodology.
“As a brand it will be important and those who get gold will put it front and centre – why wouldn’t 바카라사이트y?” Professor Latham said.
Paul Hayes, pro vice-chancellor (education and student experience) at 바카라사이트?University of Portsmouth, which is also expecting gold, said 바카라사이트 TEF results would “bring a new dimension” to university rankings and help?institutions?to tell positive stories about 바카라사이트ir teaching to a wider audience.
“It will help us to communicate some of 바카라사이트 great things that we already know about ourselves – that we are extremely good at teaching –?as we will have a measure that backs us up,” said Professor Hayes.
