Christina Hughes is Visiting Professor at the University of Coventry, UK. Her research focuses on feminist and gender issues, and has covered areas such as stepfamily life, educational experiences and progression in employment lives.Malcolm Tight is Professor of Higher Education at Lancaster University, UK. His current research is focused on the development of the field of higher education research internationally.
As students are bearing an increasing proportion of the costs of their participation in higher education, increasing attention has been paid nationally and internationally to the issue of what higher education does for its students. What do students gain from engaging in higher education, and how might this be accurately measured?
This volume explores the latest thinking, research and practice on this topic from across the globe. Acknowledging that institutions of higher education, along with national governments and international organizations, are closely concerned with the answers to these questions, the authors demonstrate how it is critically important to be able to demonstrate convincingly and transparently how students have progressed, and what measurable skills and knowledge they have acquired.
