‘Governments base performance-based funding on global rankings indicators’: A global trend in higher education finance or a global rankings literature fiction? A comparative analysis of four performance-based funding programs     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2020

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

促进高校跨学科研究发展的治理机制   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

刘凡丰  董金华 《科学学与科学技术管理》2010,31(1)

跨学科研究中心在现代大学的战略发展过程起到了重要作用,同时它们要与传统院系分享大学治理的权力,甚至会向大学校级要求更多的自主权力,这导致了大学治理的进一步碎片化。通过半结构式访谈和国别比较研究发现,对同时兼任院系教师和研究中心研究人员的科学家所完成的工作量在两个单位各自进行重复的全额计算,是一种激励院系支持教师从事跨学科研究和促成跨学科研究中心真正向科学家们开放的有效机制。而变革我国政府科研项目的资助模式则是促进高校跨学科研究健康发展的根本。  相似文献

Directed collaboration patterns in funded teams: A perspective of knowledge flow     

《Information processing & management》2023,60(2):103237

Collaborations in funded teams are essential for understanding funded research and funding policies, although of high interest, are still not fully understood. This study aims to investigate directed collaboration patterns from the perspective of the knowledge flow, which is measured based on the academic age. To this end, we proposed a project-based team identification approach, which gives particular attention to funded teams. The method is applicable to other funding systems. Based on identified scientific teams, we detected recurring and significant subgraph patterns, known as network motifs, and under-represented patterns, known as anti-motifs. We found commonly occurred motifs and anti-motifs are remarkably characterized by different structures matching certain functions in knowledge exchanges. Collaboration patterns represented by motifs favor hierarchical structures, supporting intensive interactions across academic generations. Anti-motifs are more likely to show chain-like structures, hindering potentially various knowledge activities, and are thus seldom found in real collaboration networks. These findings provide new insights into the understanding of funded collaborations and also the funding system. Meanwhile, our findings are helpful for researchers, the public and policymakers to gain knowledge on research(ers) evolution, particularly in terms of primordial collaboration patterns.  相似文献   

从高等教育基金委员会看英国高校治理模式的创新   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

臧日霞 《比较教育研究》2009,31(7):77-81

20世纪90年代,英国高等教育的治理模式发生了变革,1919年建立起的大学拨款委员会模式已经终结,取而代之的是新的基金委员会模式。基金委员会模式体现了英国高等教育治理的新思路,以英格兰地区的高等教育基金委员会最有代表性。该地区的高等教育基金委员会不但要求大学在财政方面积极承担绩效责任,而且在科研以及教学方面也对大学施加外在影响。基金委员会主要通过财政备忘录对大学进行财政风险评估。作为政府的代理机构,基金委员会有鲜明的商业特征,主要通过一系列审查和绩效问责措施促进高校治理变革。然而,基金委员会自身存在一些不足,需要进一步完善。  相似文献

扩招十年来中国普通高校经费收入的变化及解释   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

孙志军 《清华大学教育研究》2009,30(4)

1998年以来,中国普通高校的筹资模式发生了巨大变革.中央高校生均总收入稳步上升,地方高校增长停滞,生均财政拨款趋于下降,两者之间的差异逐步扩大.地方高校已由"政府投入为主"的模式在现实中演变成"政府和个人投入两为主"的模式.将这种特征置于地区财政能力、公共资源竞争、居民收入以及国际比较的背景下,既可以看到客观、合理的一面,又可以看到不合理的一面.在稳定学费水平的政策规定下,地方高校未来收入的增长空间将主要、也只能依赖财政投入的增加.  相似文献

The rankings of research funding among universities in Taiwan     

WANG Ru-Jer 《美中教育评论》2010,(3):1-16,33

With the current trend that universities around the world have gradually stepped into higher education systems of popularization, there has been more diversity in universities; hence it has become necessary to increase the transparency of university governance. Since that university classification or university ranking is a powerful mechanism to demonstrate the diversity of an institute, the rankings of research funding have become desirable and also of great value. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the rankings of research funding among universities in Taiwan, and make relevant suggestions based on the findings. A secondary data analysis was conducted on the data obtained from the database of National Science Council, in order to develop the rankings of research funding among 164 universities in Taiwan. Based on the results, the conclusions are as follows： （1） The top three universities which won the funding of the National Science Council Research Project with the best overall strength were National Taiwan University, National Cheng Gung University, and National Chiao Tung University; （2） The top three universities which won the funding of the National Science Council Research Project with the best average faculty strength were National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University, and National Taiwan University. It is suggested that, when rating the strength of a university to win the research funding, both overall strength and average faculty strength should be considered to avoid the unfairness towards universities of smaller scale.  相似文献
