Understanding Mass Higher Education: Comparative Perspectives on AccessDavid Palfreyman, Ted Tapper Taylor & Francis, 2004 M11 10 - 192 páginas In recent years most western democracies have experienced a shift from elite to mass higher education, with the United States leading the way. This text compares the experience of this very important social change within different nation states. Whilst recognizing the critical global economic forces that appear to explain the international nature of the change, it sees the issues as rooted within different national traditions. * How has expansion been explained? Leading academic experts explore the ways in which different systems of higher education have accommodated mass access, constructing comparative pictures and comparative interpretations and lessons in an accessible and informative style. This book should be critical reading for students in education, sociology and politics, as well as policy-makers and academics. |
