Nouvelle licence : "la spécialisation progressive est le mot d'ordre"

VousNousIlsPropos recueillis par Charles Centofanti. La réforme de la licence, enga­gée par la ministre de l'Enseignement supé­rieur et de la Recherche, Geneviève Fioraso, se met en place avec une nou­velle nomen­cla­ture des par­cours de for­ma­tion déjà visible. Décryptage avec Jean-Michel Jolion, chef du ser­vice de la stra­té­gie à la Direction Générale de l'Enseignement Supérieur et l'Insertion Professionnelle (DGESIP).
Que vont chan­ger les nou­velles licences ?
La réforme fixée par le Cadre National des Formations (CNF) place désor­mais les 695 000 étudiants du cycle licence au cœur des dis­po­si­tifs de for­ma­tion au moyen de quatre leviers : une meilleure infor­ma­tion et orien­ta­tion, la réor­ga­ni­sa­tion des par­cours de for­ma­tion, la réno­va­tion de la péda­go­gie, la pré­pa­ra­tion à l'insertion pro­fes­sion­nelle. Concernant plus par­ti­cu­liè­re­ment la réor­ga­ni­sa­tion, la spé­cia­li­sa­tion pro­gres­sive est le mot d'ordre des for­ma­tions, avec la mise en œuvre de socles de com­pé­tences plu­ri­dis­ci­pli­naires com­muns à  plu­sieurs men­tions de licences et/ou licences professionnelles.

The Audacity Of Udacity

http://i.forbesimg.com/assets/img/forbes_logo/forbes_logo_white.pngBy Michael Horn. Why people thought that the massive open online course (MOOC) providers would disrupt U.S. higher education by themselves by simply offering traditional university courses online for free has never made much sense. Yet judging from many of the pieces that have been published since Udacity announced its alleged “pivot” to focus on providing learning opportunities that integrate tightly with employer needs, that’s what many people thought. Some of the confusion seems to have stemmed from a misunderstanding of what much of higher education does and is incentivized to do (hint: research often trumps the teaching and learning part of the equation) and how higher education imparts value for students—not primarily through learning in many cases, but in fact through the sorting certain institutions do, the market signal that a degree sends, and the network—or access to social capital—that institutions provide.

The Intrigue Of Coursera

http://i.forbesimg.com/assets/img/forbes_logo/forbes_logo_white.pngBy Michael Horn. Coursera, the popular massive open online course (MOOC) platform, intrigues. With over 5 million students served and $85 million raised—both numbers are first among the “MOOC platforms”—it’s the type of company that captures the imagination of people in Silicon Valley who dream of transforming sectors. Its reach and emerging focus on K–12 professional development were prime reasons that we at the Clayton Christensen Institute, along with the Silicon Schools Fund and the New Teacher Center, recently offered a MOOC on blended learning through Coursera.

Bundesrechnungshof prüft Deutschlandstipendium

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTq7zVj0E3o4PVfdx5Gkbh29pUZfjVy3TZZFRRDM7iyTyexZTcXAMVlfgVon Andreas Maisch. Nur 60 Prozent der Bundesmittel geht an die Studenten, der Rest fließt in die Verwaltung, bemängeln die Prüfer. Probleme sehen sie auch in der Exzellenzinitiative. Gerade einmal 60 Prozent der Bundesmittel, die in den Jahren 2010 bis 2012 in das Deutschlandstipendium flossen, kamen in Form von Stipendien bei den Studenten an. Knapp 40 Prozent der Mittel entfielen auf Verwaltungskosten. Das kritisiert der Bundesrechnungshof (BRH) in seinem Jahresbericht. Nach Informationen des Tagesspiegels läuft gleichzeitig ein Prüfverfahren des BRH zum Stipendium. Es sei bedenklich, wenn 40 Prozent der Haushaltsmittel allein für die Umsetzung aufgewendet werden, sagte ein Sprecher auf Anfrage. Das Bundesbildungsministerium (BMBF) will sich angesichts des laufenden Prüfverfahrens dazu nicht äußern. Mehr...

Immer mehr Studierende pro Prof

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTq7zVj0E3o4PVfdx5Gkbh29pUZfjVy3TZZFRRDM7iyTyexZTcXAMVlfgVon Tilmann Warnecke. Wegen der steigenden Studentenzahlen wird die Betreuungsrelation an den Unis schlechter. Im Schnitt kommen auf einen Professor 64 Studenten. Im Jahr 2012 betreute ein Professor durchschnittlich 64 Studenten. Das meldet die Zeitschrift Forschung & Lehre des Hochschulverbandes unter Berufung auf aktuelle Zahlen des Statistischen Bundesamtes. Im Vorjahr hatte die Betreuungsrelation bei eins zu 63 gelegen. Bereits in den Jahren zuvor hatte sich das Betreuungsverhältnis an deutschen Universitäten verschlechtert: Im Jahr 2002 lag es noch bei eins zu 60. Mehr...

'Debt-free' degree plan could benefit 50,000 workers a year

http://static.guim.co.uk/static/c55907932af8ee96c21b7d89a9ebeedb4602fbbf/common/images/logos/the-guardian/news.gifBy . Firms and government would pay costs under Labour scheme, which may form part of party's 2015 manifesto. Plans to allow 50,000 would-be graduates a year to acquire "debt-free" honours degrees, part-funded by their employers, are being considered by Labour in order to tailor university education more closely to the needs of business and young people.

'Lost' generation

http://static.guim.co.uk/static/c55907932af8ee96c21b7d89a9ebeedb4602fbbf/common/images/logos/the-guardian/news.gifBy Patrick Ainley. Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett's sample of the "lost" class of 2005 university graduates (28 December) confirms the findings of larger and more representative surveys that "almost half of those who've graduated in the last five years in the UK are in non-graduate jobs for which they are overqualified and underpaid. This means the average graduate 'starting salary' of £29,000 is a distant dream for many university leavers, as they take anything that's going in a competitive labour market and render it even more difficult for the less-qualified to find work".

Training Ph.D.’s to Teach Where the Jobs Are

By Paula Krebs. As I was following the annual Council of Graduate Schools meeting on Twitter (#CGS53), I wondered why they hadn’t invited me to speak.
Not me, personally. But someone like me—a dean or department chair at the kind of place most doctoral students (the ones who get jobs) will end up teaching.
I thought about this after @VersatilePhD tweeted a suggestion from Stanford English professor Jennifer Summit: “We can learn from Ph.D. grads who’ve gone on to teaching-intensive institutions.”
Yes. Yes, doctoral programs, you can learn from the teaching institutions how better to prepare Ph.D.'s to teach at teaching institutions. See more...

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSUa0Fk_7FQscWtrZHpz8OJg_QGcHVj2y63B7yEHt5K8aA7JDrjTD2O-wBy Karine Joly. What will 2014 bring to the digital field in higher ed? That’s the million dollar question at the start of this new year. Unfortunately, charting a precise course for success over the next 12 months isn’t possible. More...
