The shift from science-based curricula to curricula based on learning outcomes has been a major change for higher education. It is a radical curriculum design model transfer for higher education. The proposed research focuses on this new model that is the most difficult point assessment between expected learning outcomes and acquired learning outcomes. The given example is the initial programme of study of a Department of Primary Teacher Education, located in the region of Western Greece (Greece). In this research students were asked to answer whether they have developed the learning outcomes. The tool used comes from the European Tuning project which is of great importance in learning. From Tuning were taken the generic and specific competencies proposed for the field "Education". The questionnaire was divided into three levels. The first one concerned the students' diagnosis of the relevance of Tuning competencies. The second concerned the recognition of their existe...

The shift from science-based curricula to curricula based on learning outcomes has been a major change for higher education. It is a radical curriculum design model transfer for higher education. The proposed research focuses on this new model that is the most difficult point assessment between expected learning outcomes and acquired learning outcomes. The given example is the initial programme of study of a Department of Primary Teacher Education, located in the region of Western Greece (Greece). In this research students were asked to answer whether they have developed the learning outcomes. The tool used comes from the European Tuning project which is of great importance in learning. From Tuning were taken the generic and specific competencies proposed for the field "Education". The questionnaire was divided into three levels. The first one concerned the students' diagnosis of the relevance of Tuning competencies. The second concerned the recognition of their existence within the curriculum. The third level concerned the students' self-assessment of whether they have developed these competencies. The innovation of the article lies in: a) the object itself, in other words the construction of a tool to investigate the effectiveness of student learning, b) the fact that the students were questioned on issues (learning outcomes) concerning the design of their curriculum and its effectiveness (learning). The results showed that students have a full understanding concerning the developed or not developed competencies. Consequently, students seem to be able to evaluate their learning process and its effects on them.

Το κείμενο αυτό παρουσιάζει και αναλύει τα αποτελέσματα μιας έρευνας πεδίου που αφορά την εισαγωγή της διεπιστημονικότητας στα πανεπιστημιακά προγράμματα σπουδών. Συγκεκριμένα, επικεντρώνεται στα μεταπτυχιακά προγράμματα σπουδών των ελληνικών πανεπιστημίων. Εκείνο που ενδιέφερε περισσότερο ήταν να διαπιστωθεί ο τρόπος υιοθέτησης της διεπιστημονικότητας στο βαθμό που αυτή σηματοδοτεί την απάντηση του πανεπιστημίου στις εθνικές και υπερεθνικές πιέσεις για την υιοθέτησή της. Παράλληλα όμως, επειδή η διεπιστημονικότητα θεωρείται επίσης ως «αλλαγή παραδείγματος» θελήσαμε να διερευνήσουμε την επίδραση της υιοθέτησής της πάνω στην παραδοσιακή οργάνωση και λειτουργία του θεσμού. Το βασικό συμπέρασμα φαίνεται να είναι ότι τα Κοινοτικά πλαίσια στήριξης της χώρας έπαιξαν καθοριστικό ρόλο. Το μεν κράτος τα χρησιμοποίησε για να περιορίσει τη δική του χρηματοδότηση προς τα πανεπιστήμια, ενώ τα πανεπιστήμια βρήκαν ένα μέσο έκτακτης χρηματοδότησής τους μέσω της ενίσχυσης των διεπιστημονικών προγραμ...

Drop out is a phenomenon imparted of complexity, factorial polysynthesis, and diversity of consequences unfortunately negative in nature. Thus, a thorough comprehension and analysis of the factors affecting drop out and the tendency to it, are crucial. In this paper, the latter is examined in an effort to enlighten the causes behind the manifestation of drop out so as appropriate interventions are applied. In this respect, the present work focused on those factors that exert direct or indirect influence of positive or negative nature on the way students cope with university studies, overcome obstacles and value the university experience. The research was conducted at the University of Patras on a student sample with 696 valid questionnaires. The findings indicate that the principal factors behind the tendency to drop out are the students’ frustration, the absence from their obligatory academic duties, and dissatisfaction with their cognitive subject. On the contrary, the primary fac...

This study aims to assess the degree of financial autonomy of Greek universities, from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. The recent European University Association (EUA) research relating to University Autonomy did not include Greece since no input was provided for a series of years. Therefore, a thorough attempt to produce the necessary data, with special reference to the implementation period of Law 4009/11, will contribute to filling in the gap and provide useful country-specific outcomes. The methodology to be employed in our study complies with the one used by the EUA complemented with our own produced outcomes by studying the relevant literature together with the applicable legislation for the period in question. Thereby, the relevant outcomes produced (as numerical scores) allow for the ranking of Greek Universities as compared with their European counterparts. In specific, they level at a medium position in terms of financial autonomy. Having achieved that, proposa...

Student dropout is a global phenomenon. For many reasons (individual, social, political, economic), it is considered a serious problem. The specialized bibliography usually deals either with all students or it focuses specifically on new students. However, there is not much comparative research on how to structure the thought of dropping out of university between new and experienced students. This is the aim of this text. Based on 1,029 students’ questionnaires, the quantitative study has shown that the way this thought is constructed is differentiated between new and experienced students. In other words, it is made up of a combination of different factors. For new students, the effect of the social representation ‘university’ and the motivation on the basis of this representation play a central role. On the contrary, when it comes to experienced students, the difficulties of university studies and especially the formulated perception of global student life seem to play the key role.

This paper presents and analyzes the results of a field study concerning the introduction of interdisciplinarity into university study programmes. In particular, it focuses on postgraduate study programmes in Greek universities. What was most interesting was to ascertain the manner in which interdisciplinarity was adopted since this marks the university's response to national and international pressures for its adoption. At the same time, however, as interdisciplinarity is also seen as a "paradigm shift" we wanted to investigate the effect of its adoption on the traditional organization and operation of the institution. The fundamental conclusion seems to be that the country's Community support frameworks played a decisive role. The state on the one hand used them as a means of limiting its own funding of universities, while the universities found a means of extra funding through the strengthening of interdisciplinary study programmes with the help of Community mon...

The significant growth of number of students enrolled in tertiary education institutions in the recent past decades has caused an unprecedented expansion of higher education systems. Globalization has developed a powerful impact on the development of higher education and imposes new challenges for the organization (standards, financing, regulations). The implementation of quality assurance is one of the recent and most decisive transformations of higher education. Different higher education systems are trying to develop assessment tools (internal and external) to improve the quality of teaching, research and extension activities, and these are either based on experiences of selected countries or are extensively country specific. The quality assurance procedures that were often dependent on national directorial traditions have gradually tended to converge and led to a setup of common tools and standards. International rankings of universities also contribute to impose a set of transnational standards and values, which is also being considered as indicative by the stakeholders. The present book tries to look at the quality assurance mechanism, international rankings and its impact in both absolute and comparative fashion in context of about 13 countries from different parts of the world.

Ce texte se base sur une première analyse des résultats d’une recherche par questionnaire aux élèves de terminale des lycées généraux de la région de l’Οuest de la Grèce . Les questionnaires ont été distribués en mai et juin 2018, donc à la fin des études secondaires et avant le concours national . L’argumentation initiale focalisait sur les effets de la crise économique sur les motivations des élèves et leurs choix aux études supérieures (Lieury & Fennouillet, 1996; Viau, 2004, 2009). Plus spécifiquement, on argumentait que la crise économique influence tant la vision des études supérieures que les motivations face aux études et aux perspectives de travail. Par conséquent, on a produit un travail sur les motivations afin de pouvoir entrevoir les effets de la crise sur celles-ci.

This paper aims to investigate the production (or not) of policy-oriented learning during the establishment and implementation of a specific policy program in the policy sub-system of the Greek university as well as the interpretation of the existence (or not) of policy-oriented learning. The theoretical tools were drawn mainly from the theoretical work of Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith, termed the "advocacy coalition framework (ACF)". The Greek university is therefore considered to be a policy subsystem in which actors form coalition networks that share policy core beliefs and values, and engage in coordinated action in order to translate these beliefs and values into public policy. Thirty-five semi-structured interviews were used for the production of data, in combination with policy paper analysis. (DIPF/Orig.)

Despite the implementation of policies and the changes observed at national level in regards to gender equality and gender mainstreaming issues in Greece since 1981(eg in relation to education, equal access etc), the main issues concerning women in higher education remain unresolved. For example according to the latest report of the General Secretariat of Gender Equality in Greece there are still scientific fields and professions that are considered to be predominantly male or female. An important feature of Greek policies concerning gender issues is their relation to the policies and the guidelines of the European Union. Greece was "forced" to follow the Community guidelines as it had no previous tradition in gender policies. Gender policies were not integrated into a broader political planning and thus remained fragmented, particularly regarding the gender mainstreaming approach. This chapter will focus on the disparities by gender and fields of study in higher education in Greece, the recent data concerning woman in the higher education and the access into the labor market, the gender mainstreaming policies related to higher education and their implementation. This analysis will take into consideration the lack of political will to move forward necessary policies and the interconnection to the respective European-driven policies.

This paper focuses on competences for primary education teachers, which have to be developed during their initial education. Furthermore, we will try to link the discussion on learning outcomes to a comprehensive framework of social needs, central political choices, the strategies of specialized University Departments and students’ preferences. To achieve our aim, we will present the results of a research carried out with students in the last year of their initial teacher education at a Greek University (University of Patras). The research used a questionnaire based on competences proposed by Tuning for the scientific field of Education. The results highlight two main points: a) the persistence of tradition and the power of reproduction; b) the difficulty of tuning and harmonizing social needs, political choices, University Department strategy and students’ wishes.

The article discusses problems which emerged while we were conducting research on student dropout. The term student dropout refers to individuals who leave school before completing compulsory education. These problems relate mostly to the difficulty of those who have dropped out from talking about their own experience . The research was carried out in Greece in 2018 and 2019. In Greece, student dropout has fallen considerably in recent years to among the lowest in Europe. Nevertheless it remains a problem. Our aim is to present this difficulty, the consequences on the production of data, and the ways in which they were dealt with. We investigate the causes and consequences of this refusal, through the eyes of the people who abandoned school.

The article focuses on the issue of the incorporation of non-formal types of lifelong learning (LLL) services delivery into the Greek Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). During the past three decades, this issue appears to have received significant attention as a result of relevant policies promoted worldwide and the strong political will demonstrated by the European states. After briefly presenting the consecutive stages of LLL incorporation into HEIs , the article will emphasise the incorporation of LLL into the Greek Universities and, especially, non-formal types of learning services delivery. The University has been undergoing a series of constant, rapid and profound transformations, in the last few years, that have, on the one hand, turned it into a vast and multi-dimensional organization and on the other, present it with unprecedented dilemmas and perils . Among these, one of the most fundamental pertains to the severe impact induced by the adoption of non-formal types of ...

The aim of the present study is the contribution to the discussion on the investigation of the relationship of the future teacher to knowledge. We believe that the investigation into the above relationship is particularly important, as it refers both to the identity formation of future teachers and to the quality of the actual university studies in our country. Following the theoretical scheme of the French intellectual B. Charlot, and in opposition to other research on “rapport au savoir”, we wanted to investigate the relationship of “good students” with their studies, in the context of a Department that trains teachers. Briefly, through our research it appears that the effect of the profession is of utmost importance. Furthermore, we believe that it is particularly important that this study will allow us to identify and showcase the significance of the theoretical scheme of the French intellectual for the Greek educational reality.

This paper deals with the question: are Educational Sciences (ES) useful in teacher education (TE)? The question draws its legitimacy from two facts. The first is of a historical nature: in Greece, ES found their institutional expression with the establishment of the University Departments of Pedagogy (UDP), whereby ES were integrated into initial TE. The second concerns the actual questioning of the value of ES in initial TE by students. The text attempts furthermore to investigate if the gap between theory and practice could be filled in the case of ES in the context of TE. To achieve this, we present an experimentation conducted in the European Educational Policy course of a UDP in the academic year 2019-2020. The experimentation seems to have been well received by the students, indicating that it is not impossible to fill this gap.

The present paper is an attempt to describe, on the one hand, the historical development of a quality assurance system in Greek higher education and, on the other hand, our own involvement and contribution. Through the analysis of the historical experience, an attempt will be made to understand the Greek framework, in general, and the establishment of a quality assurance system for Greek higher education, in particular. The paper will conclude with some key stakes which seem to be raised and which will determine the future in terms of quality assurance in higher education both in European Higher Education Area and in Greece.

The State has always been the main source of funding as far as research
is concerned in Greece. However, Greek governments have never drafted one concrete, longitudinal set of national priorities to this end. Furthermore, they cut public resources available to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as far as 60% in the midst of the economic crisis (Pruvot et al., EUA, Public Funding Observatory Report 2018. EUA, 2018). In contrast, participation in the European Research Area (ERA) both provided a set of priorities for research –a research policy- and comprised one significant alternative form of funding for Greek Universities. Hence, HEIs have adopted a bottom-up approach with the aim to support efforts by research-groups and/or individual academics to take part in international consortia and attract funding. In light of these developments, the paper addresses the issues of the relation between internationalised research and national development, especially in the
case of Greece, and the role of HEIs as producers of scientific knowledge and innovation in the context of a national society, specifically the Greek society.

La communication se base sur une recherche de terrain qui s’est déroulée auprès de 789 élèves de terminale en lycée général, dans la région de Grèce de l’Ouest en Mai 2018. La recherche a été conduite juste avant les examens nationaux pour l’entrée à l’enseignement supérieure. L’échantillon a été stratifié par lieu d’habitation. L’objectif était d’abord d’analyser les motivations qui conduisent les élèves de terminale à envisager d’entreprendre des études supérieures. Nous avons ensuite essayé de croiser les motivations des élèves à des variables démographiques et socio-économiques qui sont censées influencer leur choix. À signaler que le contexte est celui d’une région touchée fortement par la crise économique que le pays a traversée.
Les résultats montrent que pour une majorité d’élèves la perspective des études universitaires ne repose pas sur un projet élaboré. Il s’agit plutôt d’une continuité « évidente » basée sur, en amont, la représentation sociale de l’enseignement supérieur, et en aval, la manque de perspectives au marché du travail. Cependant, un élève sur quatre semble avoir une idée plus élaborée. En effet, un thème récurrent dans leur propos est le « prestige » d’un travail futur. Par ailleurs, ce prestige semble se connecter, d’une part, au choix d’un établissement tertiaire réputé, et d’autre part, aux récompenses financières espérées dans le futur. Pour ces élèves, il
y a une influence forte tant de leurs familles d’origine que de leur genre.

La politique de démocratisation de l’enseignement supérieur (ES) a dominé les pays européens au cours du dernier demi-siècle. Elle a pris des formes diverses dans des contextes sociaux différents. Le paradoxe est le résultat commun : la démocratisation quantitative. Dès 1990, le développement des politiques de l’Union européenne (et leur financement) semble avoir un impact sur les politiques nationales. Parallèlement, des résultats inattendus sont produits et créent les enjeux actuels : l’abandon d’études, les problèmes de chômage ou de sous-emploi, les salaires insatisfaisants des diplômés, etc. Le développement du secteur privé, la relation secteur public et privé de l’ES, le traitement de l’ES comme marchandise sont des enjeux contemporains. Mais l’enjeu majeur est la frustration et la déception sociale face aux politiques sociales. Ainsi, un fossé apparaît entre la société et les politiques publiques contribuant à une crise de confiance pour les institutions et la politique.

Το παρόν βιβλίο διαπραγματεύεται την έννοια της εκδημοκρατικοποίησης της ανώτατης εκπαίδευσης και των ορίων της. Η έννοια εκκινεί ως κοινωνικό αίτημα που γίνεται πολιτικό πρόγραμμα και πράξη. Είναι τέτοιας δυναμικής που από τον Β΄ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο και μετά (αργότερα στην Ελλάδα) κυριαρχεί στη συγκρότηση εκπαιδευτικών πολιτικών και μετασχηματίζει συνολικά τα εκπαιδευτικά συστήματα των αναπτυγμένων χωρών και εξειδικευμένα την ανώτατη εκπαίδευσή τους. Τα αποτελέσματά της είναι διφορούμενα. Από την μια, πέραν πάσης αμφιβολίας πέτυχε νέες πληθυσμιακές ομάδες να αποκτήσουν πρόσβαση και εμπειρία στην ανώτατη εκπαίδευση (ποσοτική εκδημοκρατικοποίηση). Από την άλλη, αν το βασικό διακύβευμά της ήταν η εξάλειψη του κοινωνικού αποτυπώματος στις εκπαιδευτικές πορείες τότε σίγουρα αυτό δεν επιτεύχθηκε. Σήμερα, λόγω της γιγάντωσης του συστήματος ανώτατης εκπαίδευσης και της αδυναμίας των κυβερνήσεων να καλύψουν το κόστος λειτουργίας του έχει αρχίσει να τίθεται σε αμφισβήτηση η αξία και το νόημα της εκδημοκρατικοποίησης.

This study aimed to assess the training needs of the academic staff working at Greek Universities with the purpose of utilizing
the collected data to design appropriate professional development programs that address their specific needs. Data were
collected through the administration of a valid and reliable 19-item self-report questionnaire, which was distributed to all
categories of teaching staff at 25 Greek universities. Faculty members rated their level of interest in professional development
topics related to enhancing learning and teaching, while the most commonly cited reason for not participating in professional
development opportunities was a lack of time or scheduling conflicts. This study highlights the importance of needs analysisbased
training programs design in order to focus on targeted training areas.
