For nearly two decades now, the rankings literature has continued to suggest that governments are adopting performance-based funding models which prioritize criteria favored by global rankings. This study examines this assertion by analyzing the performance-based funding programs of Austria, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. The study finds that the orientation of performance-based funding on global rankings is weaker than it is commonly assumed. Except for Finland, the funding volume universities raise from this orientation is not substantial to influence the institutional performance. The study also analyzes the recent structural changes to performance-based funding in each jurisdiction. Policy implications are provided in the conclusion for higher education systems revising their performance-based funding or considering a shift to performance-based accountability. 相似文献

Community colleges continue to operate in a society of accountability and efficiencies. Throughout the country, states have implemented performance-based funding and completion agendas while also tightening or restricting funding for higher education. The state of Ohio has implemented one of the boldest performance funding plans in the country while also mandating that higher education institutions limit spending and lower costs to students. This article explores how Central Ohio Technical College has implemented the flipped classroom and one-room school house models in college-level mathematics courses and how both models of instruction can help community colleges increase successful completion rates to meet performance-based funding completion metrics while also limiting instructional cost. 相似文献

AbstractGlobally, performance-based research funding aims to support the most deserving academic institutions and researchers. However, overcoming entrenched assumptions about quality is a persistent challenge for higher education research policies worldwide; traditionally powerful institutions tend to maintain dominance. Research impact as a performance criterion presents an opportunity for position-taking through success according to non-academic criteria. Could impact-oriented research funding challenge institutional hierarchies? The UK university system presents an instructive case study for exploring this question. However, exposing the effects of such performance-based funding on institutional stratification requires focusing on the interface between institutions and disciplines. A Bourdieusian analysis of 53 cases of research-based impact on higher education policy/practice revealed the differential capital that researchers from more and less ‘prestigious’ universities mobilise when generating research impact. By uncovering how impact reinforces disparities in research power between UK institutions, the study contributes to understanding of sectoral reproduction through discipline-level mediation of research policy. 相似文献

LINKING PERFORMANCE TO FUNDING OUTCOMES AT THE STATE LEVEL FOR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION: Past,Present, and Future 总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3
This article discusses the use of performanceindicators and performance-based funding by states fortheir systems of higher education drawing on theexisting literature on the topic. The different types of mechanisms currently used by states formeasuring institutional performance are described as arerecent state experiences with performance indicators,including their pitfalls and limitations. Additionally, a summary of the current status ofperformance-based funding applications is discussedincluding some of the reported difficulties inimplementing such funding models. Finally, the authorexplores the future implications of performance indicators andperformance-based funding mechanisms for public highereducation. 相似文献

绩效问责制正在成为许多国家分配高校办学和科研经费的一个重要手段。20世纪90年代中期,公立高等教育绩效问责制已经遍布美国的许多州。但是,来自多方面的信息显示,三种形式的绩效问责制都没有对高校的绩效改善产生预期的影响。造成绩效问责制“失效”的原因主要有三个：奖励动力不足、传统的程序性管制的阻碍、难以适用到高校内部基层组织... 相似文献

The construct of the market is an interesting new element in the discourse on higher education in Europe. It has generated serious initiatives in deregulating higher education, in developing performance-based models of resource allocation, in fostering inter-institutional competition and efficient management structures, and even in considering the 'privatisation' of higher education. These developments affect particularly the financing of higher education, where new models of resource generation and allocation, institutional steering and controlling, and accountability are being explored. Within this context, and with a view towards the future of higher education in Europe, four issues are being examined in more detail: formula funding, the mobilisation of external resources, the introduction of tuition fees, and the creation of private institutions of higher education. 相似文献

Over the past few decades, America’s social compact for higher education as a public good has effectively lapsed as government
support of higher education has diminished. Given the need for a highly educated workforce in today’s knowledge-based global
economy, we propose a new compact for higher education that couples increased funding with increased institutional accountability.
While the compact must retain academic freedom as an essential component of higher education, this autonomy must co-exist
with rigorous accountability standards. Accountability systems should be multifaceted, as different methodologies have differing
strengths and limitations. All systems should, however, inform the public and provide for institutional improvement. 相似文献

Many countries, including Italy, are increasingly managing their public higher education systems in accordance with the New Public Management principle that private-sector management practices improve efficiency and quality. A key mechanism has been the introduction of performance-based funding systems designed to reward ‘high-performing’ institutions and incentivise ‘lesser-performing’ institutions to improve. Instead of improving efficiency and quality across the board, however, we argue that performance-based funding systems naturalise longstanding structurally determined inequalities between institutions by recasting national higher education systems as competitive institutional meritocracies in which institutional inequalities are redefined as objective indicators of intrinsic ‘merit’ or worth. We illustrate how performance-based university funding systems naturalise pre-existing inequalities between universities drawing on the case of Italy, a country characterised by longstanding inequalities between its northern and southern regions which demonstrably impact on the apparent ‘performance’ of universities. The concept of institutional meritocracy captures the illusory nature of this performance game. 相似文献

Formally the new public management model of governance was introduced into British higher education with the passage of the
1988 Education Reform Act, which abolished the existing University Grants Committee (UGC) and instigated the funding councils.
This article explores the relationship between the state, the funding councils and the universities with respect to the contemporary
development of the English system of higher education. The analysis is based on an exploration of four key policy issues:
the quality assurance regime, the research assessment exercises, the widening participation agenda and the introduction of
student fees. The goal is to explore how the quasi-state organisations—in particular the Higher Education Funding Council
for England (HEFCE)—have mediated the relationship between the state and the universities. The evidence suggests that the
coupling of the state to the universities follows one of three tracks: compliance, resistance and seduction. The article explores
what factors determine why one relationship (or combination of relationships) prevails, and explains patterns of change over
time. The overall conclusion is that institutional interaction is very complex, and it is inaccurate—as is sometimes claimed—to
view the funding council as little more than a compliant channel of government policy. 相似文献

Recent legislative and local school accountability efforts have placed a premium on the collection, analysis, and use of student
assessment data for educational improvement. As a result, schools have sought assessments that will provide additional information
about student performance. In response, a burgeoning boon industry formed—formative educational assessment systems. In this
study we describe how districts search for and acquire formative assessment systems to meet their needs. We focus on three
school districts that adopted three different formative assessment systems. Our findings suggest the fit between a system’s
characteristics and a school district’s intended use is the most important consideration in instituting a successful formative
assessment system that will have a positive impact on teacher education and student learning. 相似文献

The assessment of research quality and accountability for research funding are major issues in higher education. This paper describes the British experience of nationwide research quality assessment exercises, and newly introduced measures intended to improve accountability. The consequences are examined, including those for the higher education system as a whole and for individual institutions, using the University of Glasgow as an example. Comprehensive peer review of research quality has demonstrated the usefulness of certain performance indicators. Their relevance for U.S. institutional researchers is discussed, and similarities with the measures used by the National Academy of Sciences in its assessment of researchdoctorate programs are identified. The requirements of the U.S. Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) are noted. 相似文献

Concerns over effective learning have been central to the post-2015 debates. This renewed emphasis on quality has prompted a search for international standardised definitions and measures of learning. Performativity – the production of performance through measurement devices, borrowed from the private sector, that induce new individual conducts and institutional organisations – is likely to constitute a prominent feature of the post-2015 education aid landscape. In Tanzania, that has been facing a learning crisis since the end of the 2000s, technologies of quantification have been deployed by aid agencies (within the budget support framework) and a local NGO, Twaweza (Uwezo studies, cash-on-delivery, performance-based teachers’ salary and school funding, randomised-controlled trials) to address poor learning performances. This paper provides a critical analysis of this new public management technology and argues that they represent groundwork for a further stage in neoliberal education more certainly than for the promotion of a transformative education. 相似文献

This paper provides a critical analysis of New Zealand’s Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF). The first section sketches
the development and implementation of the PBRF. The second section evaluates the scheme, concentrating on three themes: the
relationship between privatization, competition and research performance; the standardization of research; and motivations
for research. The paper acknowledges the thorough work completed by the Tertiary Education Advisory Commission and other policy
groups in laying the foundation for the adoption of performance-based research funding in New Zealand. It is argued, however,
that when viewed in its larger context, the PBRF constitutes a continuation of neoliberal trends already well established
in New Zealand’s tertiary education system. 相似文献

This article examines the educational conditions and resources, institutional characteristics, and political factors that contribute to shaping states' educational accountability policies. The policies addressed are identification of underperforming schools, state takeover or reconstitution of failing schools, and state power to replace principals and teachers in underperforming schools. The article addresses accountability for schools and educators, rather than high-stakes tests for students, because of the emphases of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Based on correlations and cross-sectional, logistic regression, the most important predictors of states' accountability policies appear to be National Assessment of Educational Progress NAEP performance, state education agency staff resources, and Democratic party identification. However, the impact of Democratic party identification is reduced when the southern states are excluded. The article concludes with a discussion of directions for further quantitative and qualitative research, as well as predictions of how NCLB is likely to affect states' accountability policies. 相似文献

There has developed moderate discussion in European higher education about the use of performance indicators for both accountability and evaluation purposes. This paper begins by summarizing governmental expectations, institutional objections, and several of the controversies surrounding performance measures. We then report on using performance indicators for both external accountability and strategic planning in a case study of a public research extensive university in the United States, including how the flows of resources and students have changed following the use of institutional performance measures in strategic planning. 相似文献

Since the initiation of performance funding in Tennessee in the late 1970s, approximately 30 states have, at some point, attempted a funding model that includes performance on a set of indicators. The purpose of the present study was to capture the current status of performance funding in public statewide community college systems and to assess which performance indicators were collected at the state level. Data were obtained through the 2012 Survey of Finance and Access Issues conducted by the Education Policy Center at the University of Alabama. The survey was administered to the National Council of State Directors of Community Colleges, and 50 responses were obtained from 49 states. Not every survey respondent answered each survey item. Findings showed that 19 states used performance funding for community colleges, with six of those states allocating at least 10% of state funds based on performance. An analysis of indicators captured at the state level (not exclusively for performance funding) showed a decline of emphasis on process indicators and greater emphasis on outputs. The performance-based distribution of base funding and the inclusion of output measures that capture intermediate indicators of success are consistent with the principles of Performance Funding 2.0, a new form of performance funding recently discussed in the literature. Future research should include tracking the current findings over time and expanding the existing literature on whether performance funding influences outcomes. 相似文献

Hurricane Katrina exposed to the world the side of America that is often ignored or forgotten—the side of America where people live in poverty and struggle to meet their most basic needs. This article focuses primarily on children in Mississippi and highlights the effect that poverty has on children’s well-being at an early age and future academic success. It also provides evidence for the importance of funding high-quality pre-k programs and parental training to ensure they begin the process of preparing their children for success, not only in Mississippi but in the other states that are leaving their children behind. Finally, with the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind in 2007, recommendations are made for refocusing the premise of the law from accountability and high stakes testing to meeting the needs of all children so they can truly be successful in school. 相似文献
