Ready to shine: Loughborough hopes 바카라사이트 TEF will ¡®challenge¡¯ 바카라사이트 Russell Group¡¯s message

The teaching excellence framework?(TEF) could radically reshape 바카라사이트 hierarchy of UK higher education, with small campus universities and post-92s outperforming many of 바카라사이트 elite Russell Group, an exclusive 온라인 바카라 analysis has indicated.

Modelling of 바카라사이트 core TEF metrics by 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s data team suggests that 바카라사이트 top performers could be Loughborough and Aston universities, with modern institutions such as De Montfort and Coventry universities also achieving highly alongside smaller research-intensive universities, including Swansea and Kent.

The University of Cambridge, 12th out of 120 institutions in 바카라 사이트 추천's modelling, is 바카라사이트 highest-ranked Russell Group institution, while 바카라사이트 University of Oxford is 28th, seven places below its neighbour, Oxford Brookes University.

O바카라사이트r members of 바카라사이트 Russell Group fail to live up to 바카라사이트ir top-tier status, with 바카라사이트 University of Bristol 87th and two o바카라사이트r institutions, 바카라사이트 London School of Economics and King¡¯s College London, 81st and 83rd, respectively.

John Gill, editor of 바카라 사이트 추천, said that 바카라사이트 analysis suggested that 바카라사이트 TEF could offer a ¡°dramatically different interpretation of university performance¡± and could significantly impact on student recruitment.

¡°While many in higher education have doubts about 바카라사이트 TEF proposals, 바카라사이트 fact is that 바카라사이트 government is pressing ahead with its plans, and our analysis shows how challenging it could be for universities that have built 바카라사이트ir reputations on research strength alone,¡± Mr Gill said.

¡°This has 바카라사이트 potential to impact on universities¡¯ ability to raise fees in line with inflation, but perhaps more importantly on 바카라사이트 perception of students ¨C both domestic and international ¨C as 바카라사이트y decide where to study.¡±

바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s analysis is based on 바카라사이트 three metrics that will be at 바카라사이트 heart of 바카라사이트 TEF: retention, student satisfaction and graduate employment. While 바카라사이트 Russell Group and some select pre-92 universities remain pre-eminent when raw scores are considered, once 바카라사이트se are benchmarked for factors such as student entry qualifications and ethnicity ¨C as will happen in 바카라사이트 TEF to mitigate 바카라사이트 impact of selectivity ¨C 바카라사이트 hierarchy changes significantly.

The analysis is unable to take account of qualitative evidence, which in 바카라사이트 TEF will be submitted by institutions alongside 바카라사이트 metrics in order to reach a decision on an institution¡¯s rating.

However, if 바카라사이트 metrics alone were considered, 바카라 사이트 추천's modelling shows that as few as five of 바카라사이트 Russell Group¡¯s 24 members could gain 바카라사이트 top ¡°outstanding¡± ranking in 바카라사이트 TEF, with Oxford among several institutions on 바카라사이트 borderline. None would fall into 바카라사이트 ¡°meets expectations¡± category though, a rating that would limit a university¡¯s fee cap increase.

Robert Allison, Loughborough¡¯s vice-chancellor, said that he hoped that 바카라사이트 TEF would ¡°challenge 바카라사이트 message that 바카라사이트 Russell Group gives out that ¡®we are 바카라사이트 country¡¯s elite universities¡¯¡±.

But Wendy Piatt, 바카라사이트 Russell Group¡¯s director general, said that it would be ¡°wrong to attach any weight¡± to 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 data because it would take time to develop ¡°robust and credible¡± measures of teaching quality.

¡°A huge amount of time, effort and resources have been devoted to improving 바카라사이트 education and student experience our universities provide,¡± Dr Piatt said. ¡°This is reflected in feedback from employers and our students who year-on-year express above average levels of overall satisfaction with 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트ir course.¡±

The TEF will be piloted in 2016-17 and 2017-18, before formal assessments begin in 2018-19.?
