The 50th volume in the book series ‘Global Perspectives on Higher Education' offers a stimulating and thoughtful assessment of higher education from a global perspective which addresses the challenges and prospects for the next decade. The challenges now faced by higher education and its likely future prospects and patterns are examined in terms of policy papers and case studies. Five broad topics are considered: the situation of academic faculty, the demand for access, the role of the university in society and its governance, funding trends, and higher education’s international dimensions.
The volume brings together as authors fourteen of the thirty participants of the Fulbright New Century Scholars 2005/2006 program, whose research addressed the topic of Higher Education in the 21st Century: Global Challenge and National Response and was published in a volume edited by the program leaders, Philip G. Altbach and Patti McGill Peterson, Higher Education in the New Century: Global Challenges and Innovative Ideas (2007). The present book not only continues the examination and assessment of current global trends in higher education, but also bears witness to the enduring power of Senator Fulbright’s vision of furthering mutual international understanding and offering collaborative study opportunities which extend the frontiers of knowledge.

Описание: This book chronicles global issues, related practices, and future prospects in teaching and teacher education. The chapters include comprehensive discussions of literature, research, and visions for education that are applicable around the world. This book evidences how each challenge leads to opportunities for positive change. Several of the chapters highlight characteristics of high-quality, ongoing professional development that is based on the day-to-day experiences of pre-/in-service teachers. This method to teacher education has been shown to contribute to the development of new knowledge and practice in meaningful and sustainable ways. This book also discusses school improvement, and specifically the need to revamp typical approaches to support an integrated model of education, thus improving the overall well-being of students and teachers. In an era of high stakes and accountability, how teachers handle the excessive demands of teaching and remain grounded in their practice is influenced by their beliefs, sense of competence, and individual use of coping strategies. Further, the environments of schools and educational centers substantially impact teachers well-being. Some of the chapters in this book explore these concepts in profound ways. With increased globalization, identifying research-based strategies designed for foreign language teaching, and how students learn best is also warranted. Several chapters in this book describe considerations that must be made when approaching foreign language teaching and learning. As evidenced in the contributions to this book, educators and administrators should carefully consider the implications of worldwide research when contemplating educational reform, whether it be at the individual classroom or district-wide level. Overall, this book demonstrates how strong connections between theory and practice support a practical, educated, and concerted approach to challenges that emerge in teaching and learning contexts.

Описание: It is known that agricultural practices influence the quality and integrity of the natural resource base, especially soil and water quality and availability, which in turn impacts the sustainability of the production system and food quality. Over the last several decades, a general trend in the degradation of soil resource base has been observed. This degradation has been most severe in the developing nations, where the need for increased nutritious food is also the greatest. Lack of required investment in maintaining the quality of the soil resource base coupled with improper management of natural resources, has indeed led to large-scale soil degradation, which is further jeopardizing environmental quality and food security especially for smallholder, resource-poor farmers in the developing world. However, it is not necessary that agricultural activities should lead to degradation of the natural resource base. In fact, agricultural practices that are focused on soil health and are in harmony with the ecosystem are sustainable in maintaining productivity at an enhanced level. Among the several practices used in diverse intensified production systems, especially in tropical agriculture, soil tillage and the lack of adequate organic matter input to the soil have a heavy toll in maintaining the integrity of the soil. Nothing short of a new agricultural production paradigm is needed to sustainably enhance the soil resource base and productivity and simultaneously rehabilitate degraded soils.
