In addition, this study analyzes how policy design relates to the effectiveness of PBF in individual states. Similar to other meta-analyses, this study found that PBF policy is not effective in improving completion and equity of higher education institutions in the US. Further, this study assumed that there might be some positive effects of PBF on institutional performance in the states that maintained it for more than seven consecutive years. Specifically, this study assumed that some policy details such as institutional types, funding method (baseline or bonus), share of funding linked to institutional performance, and funding metrics were related to policy effects. However, this systematic review found that a majority of evaluative studies arrived at inconclusive results across different types of policy designs. One notable finding is that 2-year institutions show more positive results than 4-year institutions. In addition, this study found that statistically significant effects are both positive and negative. Based on the findings of the selected evaluative studies, this review concluded that PBF policy is not very successful in improving institutional performance across different types of policy designs in each state.]]> Tue, 26 Mar 2024 02:39:08 +0000 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03075079.2022.2138849 Abstract Neoliberalism was widely adopted both in South Korea and Taiwan in the mid-1990s. With governmental reforms, both countries adopted variants of competition-based funding mechanisms for higher education. This funding mechanism has been widely applied in most funding allocations for higher education in Korea from 2003 to 2017 and in Taiwan from 2004 to 2015. This study investigates whether competition-based funding is based on institutional performance rather than on traditional funding approaches such as budget history-based and student enrollment-based approaches. This study collected institutional funding data from 142 four-year universities in Korea and 100 four-year universities in Taiwan. This study found that funding is mostly contingent on the number of students, especially undergraduate students in Korea, and on prior budget history in Taiwan. This implies that although competition-based funding is widely applied in Korea and Taiwan, traditional factors such as student enrollment and budget history still influence funding decisions. However, this study also found that institutional performance is established in both countries’ government funding mechanisms. Institutional performance accounted for 27.6% in Korea in 2017, and for 16.7% in Taiwan in 2015. This study further discusses side effects brought by the funding scheme of both countries.]]> Tue, 26 Mar 2024 02:29:53 +0000 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11192-022-04511-6 Abstract This study analyzed how the ranking status has changed at various higher education system levels by applying different definitions of international faculty. Among the four measures (birthplace, current citizenship, and the country of bachelor and doctoral education), this study found that international faculty measured by the country of doctoral studies produced significantly different international outlook scores and thus ranking status from that based on birthplace or citizenship. Specifically, major English-speaking systems such as the UK, Canada, and Australia hire a large number of faculty who are foreign citizens while non-English speaking systems (Italy, Portugal, China, Korea, and Brazil) hire more local academics who have earned their doctoral degree abroad. This suggests that these non-English speaking countries are systematically under-rated in their international outlook scores by the adoption of the birthplace-based or citizenship-based international faculty measures. As an alternative, this study proposes to update the international faculty measure using a combination of citizenship of employment and doctoral training to minimize this systemic bias.]]> Tue, 26 Mar 2024 02:23:23 +0000 https://snu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST51909723630002591 If you want to see the thesis, please Click above "Link".]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2024 17:05:25 +0000 https://snu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST51891006760002591 If you want to see the thesis, please Click above "Link".]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2024 17:03:29 +0000 https://snu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST51868053620002591 If you want to see the dissertation, please Click above "Link".]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2024 16:55:33 +0000 https://snu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST51868053450002591 If you want to see the dissertation, please Click above "Link".]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2024 16:52:03 +0000 https://snu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST51868005990002591 If you want to see the dissertation, please Click above "Link".]]> Tue, 12 Mar 2024 16:47:30 +0000 관심있는 분들의 많은 참여 바랍니다. 감사합니다.]]> Tue, 01 Nov 2022 15:00:54 +0000 https://snu-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST51856268440002591 If you want to see the thesis, please Click above "Link".]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2022 17:57:46 +0000 https://primoapac01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST51835479570002591 If you want to see the thesis, please Click above "Link".]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2022 17:55:23 +0000 https://primoapac01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST71820701780002591 If you want to see the thesis, please Click above "Link".]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2022 17:52:59 +0000 https://primoapac01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST21801638120002591 If you want to see the thesis, please Click above "Link".]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2022 17:49:23 +0000 https://primoapac01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST51835479880002591 If you want to see the dissertation, please Click above "Link".]]> Mon, 18 Apr 2022 14:07:25 +0000 https://primoapac01.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1l6eo7m/82SNU_INST71820750030002591 If you want to see the dissertation, please Click above "Link".]]> Mon, 18 Apr 2022 14:05:32 +0000
