Choudaha, Rahul; van Rest, Edwin – Online Submission, 2018
A decade ago, the world was not prepared for the widespread impact of the global financial recession. Gradually, the operating focus of higher education sector in many high-income countries around shifted, causing budget-cuts to become a recurring and dominant theme.

van der Aalsvoort, Geerdina Maria; Lepola, Janne; Overtoom, Lisette; Laitinen, Satu – Research Papers in Education, 2015
It is a challenge for an early education teacher to enhance the development of self-regulation of young children to become and stay motivated for tasks that elicit school-related skills that do not immediately make sense for them. Being aware of motivational orientations in young students is therefore a must. In the study, a cross-cultural…

Sommer, Friederike; Leuschner, Vincenz; Scheithauer, Herbert – International Journal of Developmental Science, 2014
A plethora of studies have appeared which argue that, prior to their attack, the perpetrators of school shootings had experienced intense conflicts and problematic relations (e.g. bullying) with peers and teachers, and were on the periphery of the schools' social life. This in turn resulted in the perpetrators' view of themselves as marginalized…

Sanderson, Stephen K.; Abrutyn, Seth B.; Proctor, Kristopher R. – Social Forces, 2011
We provide a test of the thesis that Protestantism influenced the development of modern capitalism by using quantitative data from 1500 through 1870. Results show that during this period the percentage of a country's population that is Protestant is unrelated to both its level of per capita GDP and the average rate of its annual growth in per…

Labi, Aisha – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2007
As European universities embrace English as a means of increasing foreign enrollment, they find that change does not always come easily. They must decide how far they are willing to go in making that transformation. Some officials feel that too many universities have gone too far already. This article briefly describes language controversies at…

Denessen, Eddie; Sleegers, Peter; Smit, Frederik – 2001
Current educational reforms encompass increasing freedom of parental choice. Parental choice is seen as a stimulus for school improvement and school quality control. One of the central thoughts behind freedom of parental choice is that the quality of education will increase when the educational system has to act using market mechanisms, in which…

Green, Andy – Compare: A Journal of Comparative Education, 2006
Many of the current policy debates in Europe focus on what kind of "knowledge economy" or "knowledge society" would be best in the future if it is to combine both economic competitiveness and social cohesion. Should European economies move increasingly towards the so-called Anglo-Saxon model of flexible labour markets and high…
