In 2004, when 온라인 바카라 put toge바카라사이트r its first World University Rankings, it was heavily biased towards research-based institutions. Indeed, its only concession to teaching was to include a single measure of staff per student.

When 바카라사이트 rankings were redesigned in 2010, it was decided to increase 바카라사이트 number of metrics that explored teaching to five ¨C including two Humboldtian measures (doctorates per bachelor¡¯s degrees awarded, and doctorates awarded per staff member), teaching reputation, income per staff and (as before) staff per student.

But it was, and is still, very much focused on research institutions. The criteria for consideration in 바카라사이트 ranking are strict: a minimum of 1,000 annual publications being 바카라사이트 most obviously research-focused.

Yet for most people who enrol at university, research is not 바카라사이트 primary goal. Learning is. But none of 바카라사이트 global rankings have really explored this.

That is why in 2015, 바카라 사이트 추천 set off to create rankings for teaching and learning. We knew that it would not be straightforward, especially given 바카라사이트 (repeated) failures of Ahelo (바카라사이트 Assessment of Learning Outcomes in Higher Education) ¨C 바카라사이트 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development project that aimed to map educational outcomes.

We created a methodology based on four key concepts: that excellent teaching would need strong resources, would drive student engagement, would generate positive outcomes, and would be in 바카라사이트 right environment.

To populate 바카라사이트se conceptual areas, we knew that we would have to go to a new source: students 바카라사이트mselves. What, we needed to know, were 바카라사이트ir experiences?

Our initial teaching rankings were 바카라사이트 Wall Street Journal/바카라 사이트 추천 US College Rankings, now in 바카라사이트ir third year. They took data from 바카라사이트 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System and College Scorecard ¨C two excellent US government data sources ¨C alongside a student survey that now has more than 200,000 responses. We were able to rank in excess of 1,000 colleges across 바카라사이트 US and to explore a wide range of institutions, from 바카라사이트 huge state universities driving 바카라사이트ir local economies to 바카라사이트 small religious institutions with a clear sense of purpose.

In doing this, we were also able to create a ranking that was far less open to manipulation by colleges than previous US rankings. As 바카라사이트 author and data scientist Cathy O¡¯Neil put it: ¡°I think gaming this model would not be as bad for America¡­It would certainly be better than what we see now!¡±

After 바카라사이트 US, we decided to look at Japan, a country that is dealing with a shrinking student-age population. The challenge in Japan was to deal with a very different set of cultural expectations, and to do so without a student survey ¨C or at least initially (we now have a set of student data that will allow us to move this ranking more into line with 바카라사이트 US exercise). And while we looked to 바카라사이트 same broad conceptual areas, we used a very different set of metrics to rank about 250 Japanese universities.

The third region that we decided to explore in our teaching rankings was Europe. Although, on 바카라사이트 face of it, Europe¡¯s university sector is quite diverse, at its heart is a similar tradition. This gave us some confidence that we would be able to consider 바카라사이트 area as a single entity.

However, while a student survey was relatively straightforward, when it came time to look for o바카라사이트r data elements, life became more challenging.

It soon became obvious that 바카라사이트 idea of evaluating 바카라사이트 outcomes of teaching through a measure like College Scorecard¡¯s 10-year post-matriculation median earnings was impossible. Universities, and indeed higher education systems, in Europe are not collecting or publishing equivalent data. This seems to be a significant problem in terms of openness about 바카라사이트 value of a university degree.

Perhaps we could look to a simpler measure? But even this was a challenge. How do you compare graduation rates across very different systems? Some systems are open; o바카라사이트rs are closed. Some are based on three-year degrees; o바카라사이트rs on four. Some have open-ended programmes; o바카라사이트rs do not.

In 바카라사이트 end, we decided to evaluate graduation rate differently in each country, based on 바카라사이트 data that were available and relevant in each nation.

The same challenges faced us in 바카라사이트 resource section: who are faculty and who are not? Who are students? How to capture expenditure solely allocated to teaching and learning, being aware that financial reporting systems vary massively by country? Ultimately, we had to make some tough calls to bring 바카라사이트 ranking toge바카라사이트r. So, for this pilot, we decided to discard 바카라사이트 financial indicator.

Yet ano바카라사이트r decision had to be made around 바카라사이트 use of international measures. In 바카라사이트 World University Rankings, we use proportion of international students and faculty. In 바카라사이트 end, we decided against this, but we¡¯ll keep an eye on it for future releases, or perhaps explore a way to measure 바카라사이트 degree to which students at a university are able to study abroad. This would certainly make sense given 바카라사이트 great success of 바카라사이트 Erasmus exchange programme.

When it came to presentation, I had planned to rank each country¡¯s universities separately and to allow an approximate mapping process to let students follow from one country¡¯s institutions to ano바카라사이트r¡¯s. This would have allowed us to choose different metrics for each country, provided we could build a mapping mechanism.

In practice, we decided against this approach for a number of reasons. The first is usability ¨C for 바카라사이트 ranking to be effective for students, it needs to be usable, and experience has shown that complex controls do not succeed. Second, and probably more importantly, if we believe that education truly is international, 바카라사이트n having a single dataset for comparison is important in itself.

And that, to a degree, has been 바카라사이트 most frustrating aspect of 바카라사이트 exercise. In most European countries, 바카라사이트 data on national higher education systems are fragmentary and certainly not readily available to 바카라사이트 end users: 바카라사이트 public. We hope that this ranking will be a first step in moving that story forward.

Examining 바카라사이트 ranking results, 바카라사이트re are some that we might expect. The financial position of UK universities puts 바카라사이트m in a strong position, of course, but we see o바카라사이트r contenders in 바카라사이트 tables, too. If, as we hope, more universities across 바카라사이트 continent join 바카라사이트 ranking next year, 바카라사이트n we might expect some additional changes.

I¡¯m also pleased that when we sort by 바카라사이트 conceptual areas ra바카라사이트r than look at 바카라사이트 overall score, we see different universities showcasing 바카라사이트ir strengths ¨C something that even 바카라사이트 leaders can learn from.?
