Full Description
This edited volume introduces a fresh approach to higher education that redefines traditional paradigms. It explores pressing concerns about the future of universities and education, addressing key issues such as transformative shifts stemming from an increased emphasis on vocational and specialised training at the expense of traditional liberal education, the relationship between university education and political dynamics and the pace of technological advancement and shift to online learning. The volume aims to satisfy the need for a comprehensive and forward-looking examination of the future of universities and higher education. In addition to the broader examination of global trends, several chapters offer unique insights in Central and Eastern European higher education which offer readers a deeper understanding of the intricacies of the educational landscape in these regions.
The book confronts the central question of whether the foundational principles of traditional science and education are under threat, and how they should adapt to an ever-changing landscape. Advocating for a potential redefinition of education, the authors challenge institutional norms and promote innovative approaches to meet the diverse needs of students in an uncertain world. It not only provides a reflective platform for envisioning the future of universities and higher education, but also acknowledges the far-reaching implications for academia, society and all stakeholders involved in this transformative journey.
