TEACHING RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC CAREERS KARTONIE...

This open access book evaluates research quality  quality of teaching and the relationship
between the two through sound statistical methods  and in a comparative perspective with other
European countries. In so doing  it covers an increasingly important topic for universities
that affects university funding. It discusses whether university evaluation should be limited
to a single factor or consider multiple dimensions of research  since academic careers 
teaching and awarding degrees are intertwined. The chapters included in the book evaluate
teaching and research  also taking the gender dimension into account  in order to understand
where and when gender discrimination occurs in assessment. Divided into five sections  the book
analyses the administrative data on the determinants of career completion of university
students  increasing precariousness of academic careers  especially of young researchers 
methods designed to assess research productivity when co-authorship and team production are
becoming the standard practice  and interrelations between students' achievements and teachers'
careers driven by research assessment. It brings together contributions from a large group of
economists  statisticians and social scientists working under a project sponsored by ANVUR  the
Italian agency for the evaluation of teaching and research of academic institutions. From an
international perspective  the findings in this book are particularly interesting because
despite low tuition costs  tertiary education in Italy has relatively low enrolment rates and
even lower completion rates compared to those in other European and American countries. This
book is of interest to researchers of the sociology of education  education policy  public
administration  economics and statistics of education  and to administrators and policy makers
working in the area of higher education.
