Identifies five critical issues with which higher education institutions in the developing world must grapple as they respond to changing external contexts, offers examples of institutional responses to these issues, and considers these within a systems perspective which recognizes that each response impacts how institutions handle other critical issues.Half of the students enrolled in higher education worldwide live in developing countries. Yet, in many developing countries, government and education leaders express serious concerns about the ability of their colleges and universities to effectively respond to the pressures posed by changing demographics, new communication technologies, shifts in national political environments, and the increasing interconnectedness of national economies. This book identifies five critical issues with which higher education institutions in the developing world must grapple as they respond to these changing contexts: seeking a new balance in government-university relationships; coping with autonomy; managing expansion while preserving equity, raising quality, and controlling costs; addressing new pressures for accountability; and supporting academic staff in new roles.These papers offer examples of institutional responses and consider these within a systems perspective that recognizes that each response has a rippling effect impacting institutions' responses to other critical issues. Only as government and education leaders understand the interwoven nature of the problems now facing colleges and universities and the interconnections among the intended solutions they seek to implement can they offer effective leadership that strengthens the quality and improves the relevance of higher education in their countries.

The challenge facing the education system in many countries of meeting demands for higher quality public education within increasingly severe national economic and fiscal constraints is the subject of this collection of essays by eleven outstanding educational practitioners. The book examines national level strategy for improving the quality of education. It identifies and analyzes key interventions to improve educational quality. Strategies for selecting among these interventions are discussed and the major issues encountered in implementing the interventions are analyzed. A major argument of the book is that a systems approach offers the most effective and efficient intervention for improving education quality but only when sufficient attention is paid to the motivation, knowledge, and behavior of the individuals within those systems on whose actions success of any intervention ultimately depends.Part I, Improving Educational Quality, contains five chapters and provides a general framework for formulating interventions to improve educational quality. Included here are discussions of investments that lead to student achievement, the use of efficiency as a criterion to judge the effects of education investments, ways instructional systems models enhance efficiency and educational quality, and the role played by donors. The nine chapters that compose Part II, Issues in Implementing Quality Improvement Programs, discuss a series of issues more specifically concerned with program implementation. These are organized in three categories: (1) the teacher's role in quality improvement; (2) monitoring, evaluation, and data management; and (3) instructional delivery. While the volume is written to assist instructional designers, program planners, administrators, evaluators, and supervisory personnel, it has wide application as a text for graduate students preparing for these types of positions.

In der vorliegenden literarischen und archäologischen Studie untersucht David W. Chapman die differenzierten Wahrnehmungen über Kreuzigung im antiken und rabbinischen Judentum. Das frühe Christentum, welches einen gekreuzigten Messias verkündet, scheint sich dieser unterschiedlichen, jüdischen Auffassungen bewusst zu sein, da es negative Assoziationen verwirft, bzw. abändert und weiterführende Wahrnehmungen im Judentum aufgreift. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die frühe christliche Literatur über das Kreuz die unterschiedliche Wahrnehmung des Kreuzes in im antiken Judentum weit mehr als bisher angenommen widerspiegelt.

In der vorliegenden Quellensammlung veröffentlichen David W. Chapman und Eckhard J. Schnabel die außerbiblischen Primärtexte, welche als relevant für das Verständnis des Prozess und der Kreuzigung Jesu gelten. Die Texte des ersten Teils befassen sich mit dem Prozess und der Vernehmung Jesu durch den Sanhedrin, die Texte im zweiten Teil mit dem Prozess vor Pontius Pilatus. Die Texte im dritten Teil behandeln die Kreuzigung als Exekutionsmethode in der Antike. Zu jedem Schriftstück liefern die Autoren den Originaltext (hebräisch, aramäisch, griechisch, lateinisch, usw.), eine Übersetzung und einen Kommentar. Der Kommentar beschreibt den literarischen Kontext und den Zweck des Schriftstücks in diesem Kontext; danach werden Details näher beleuchtet und der Beitrag des Textes zum Verständnis von Jesu Prozess und Kreuzigung wird kommentiert.

This book examines issues that have emerged as higher education systems and individual institutions across East Asia confront and adapt to the changing economic, social, and educational environments in which they now operate. The book’s focus is on how higher education systems learn from each other and on the ways in which they collaborate to address new challenges. The sub-theme that runs through this volume concerns the changing nature of cross-border sharing. In particular, the provision of technical assistance by more industrialized countries to lower and middle income countries has given way to collaborations that place the latter’s participating institutions on a more equal footing.
