Description
"Higher Education Research" provides readers with an authoritative, up-to-date overview of the current state of higher education research and its relationship to policy and practice. The internationally acclaimed team of authors examine the impact of current policy and practice on the research agenda, the dissemination of research findings and how researchers are perceived and utilised by practitioners. Addressing higher education research across the globe, this major book underlines the divide that exists between academically based research and research which is aligned on policy and practice. Drawing upon recent developments in higher education research in Australia, Canada, Japan and Latin America, this volume provides a unique comparative perspective on the current state of higher education research.
