Description

This discourse on the concept of the 'new university' encompasses a number of interconnected topicsranging from the impacts of the market forces on the old academic territory to current perceptions about relationships between teachers and students. The book focuses on the inside features of the new academia. Some examples of issues and questions covered include:

- New media in educationwhich present opportunities and challenges for both learning students and teachers. But are these new possibilities for allor just for members of the current 'internet generation'? MoreoverHow can new media be arranged to support a process of genericcollaborative learning?

- A discourse on the 'new student'. Nowadaysterms such as rationality and 'Bildung' have emerged coupled with a trend for searching for shortcuts and denying one's interests in deeper understanding of subjects. But does there really exist a new student on a qualitative level?

- Free dialogue has been brought forward by many educationalists as one important way to promote academic knowledge. How does free dialogue really contribute to this objective?

The e-book relates such issues to the specific features of the 'new university'. For a broad insight into the issues forming the education of the future generationInside the New University offers important clues for the understanding of the 'new university' concept to readers - including educationalists and government policy makers - interested in the qualitative evolution of contemporary educational institutions.
