Agricultural Economics Education in Ukrainian Agricultural Universities: An Efficiency Analysis Using Data Envelopment Analysis
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lissitsa,   Alexej; Coelli,   Tim J.; Rao,   D.S. Prasada.
Ukraine's transition from a centrally-planned to a market economy has had a profound effect upon its agricultural sector and agricultural universities. A substantial reduction in state financing has forced universities to adopt a range of survival strategies, with varying degrees of success. In this paper we use data envelopment analysis to examine the technical efficiency of 44 agricultural economics programs from 19 Ukrainian universities during the 2002/03 academic year. Our empirical results indicate wide disparities in performance, ranging from 36% to 100% technical efficiency. A second-stage analysis suggests that factors such as student demand, commercial activities and staff quality help explain a portion of this variation.

THE SITUATION OF THE HUNGARIAN AGRICULTURAL HIGHER EDUCATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Magda,   Sandor; Herneczky,   Andrea; Marselek,   Sandor; Varga,   Erika.
The knowledge-based, competitive economy places a great emphasis on the education system. The responsibility of higher education is to impart knowledge of high standard which is in harmony with the continuously changing environment. Higher education has a special role in the knowledge-based economy since it does not only have to fulfill educational but also research an innovation tasks. The decrease in the traditional role of agriculture as well as international tendencies facilitate diversification, i.e. the emergence of new roles and the relevant activities. Due to the diversification of agriculture fields like environmental protection, bioenergetics, and rural development have become more emphatic. The growing importance of these new fields is also...

Identifying Student Success at a Land Grant Institution
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Holmgren,   Mark; McCracken,   Vicki A.
Many higher education institutions use admission criteria to match students with the educational requirements of the institution, thereby increasing the level of success of their students and allocating limited enrollment space in some cases.  This study uses two different approaches to identify the affect students’ background characteristics have on first year cumulative GPA, and whether differences exist in the impact of high school grades on success in their first year in college between high schools in the state of Washington.  Results show that students’ particular high schools systematically perform better or worse than the model predicts, holding the other characteristics of the students constant including their high school GPA.  This suggests the...

Megújulási kényszerhelyzet az agrár-felsőoktatásban
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kovacs,   Janos.
A társadalom helyzete gazdasági teljesítőképességén nyugszik. Ezért olyan érdekrendszer szükséges, amely minden szinten – állami irányítás, intézmény, egyén, gazdasági, társadalmi szervezetek stb. – megkívánja a konstruktív hozzáállást. Kitől várhatja az agrártársadalom a megváltó ötleteket, ha nem az egyetemektől? Ahhoz viszont, hogy a szakemberek meg tudjanak felelni a holnap elvárásainak, az egyetemi képzést már ma korszerűsíteni, nemzetközi színvonalúvá szükséges tenni. A tényleges társadalmi igényeknek megfelelő szakember-kibocsátó kapacitás és a hatékonyságot szolgáló intézményi szerkezet kialakítása indokolt. Természetesen folytatható az elnapolási gyakorlat is, csakhogy a jelen tevékenysége adottságként jelentkezik már a közeljövőben. Nem...

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nelson,   James R.; Julia-Wise,   Roxana.
This report summarizes major findings of a study carried out on the structure of Idaho's labor market in relation to higher education.  Changes in the types of jobs available, both in terms of industries and occupations, greatly affect the relationship of higher education to the labor market.  The nation-wide move from a manufacturing-oriented economy towards an information-based economy has led to a marked increase in the number of jobs requiring a college education.  The following information documents that trend and includes projections made for the year 2005.  The focus is on future demand and associated earnings premiums for college educated labor force in Idaho.

Dilemmas in Hungarian higher education
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Herneczky,   Andrea; Marselek,   Sandor.
Higher rates of employment are essential to economic growth. The best way to increase the rate of employment is through training and education. Transforming education to mass education, as well as the weakening of the previous knowledge of students has caused a quality decay among job-seekers. The motivation behind education is not sound; the number of majors in higher education is higher than necessary and is not adjusted to the requirements of the labour market. Hands-on training has been forced into the background. Career offices at large colleges and universities may improve the entrants’ chances of finding a job.  Higher education institutions are also responsible for the continuous further training of their graduate students with BSc degrees, which...

Higher Education Costs and the Production of Extension
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Laband,   David N.; Lentz,   Bernard F.
Do cost considerations justify the current structure of production of extension services in which one or more providers exists in virtually all of the contiguous U.S. states?  Provision of extension services has sizable cost implications for the host institutions.  Yet, to our knowledge, there has been virtually no analysis of the impact of extension on higher education costs.  Using academic year 1995-1996 data, we estimate a multiproduct cost function for 1,445 public institutions of higher education in the United States, including 65 that provide extension services.  We find evidence of significant economies of scale with respect to the provision of extension services but no evidence of significant economies of scope between the provision of extension...

STUDY ABOUT THE ROMANIAN HIGHER EDUCATION GRADUATE’S PERCEPTION OVER THE QUALITY OF THIS PROCESS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Negrusa,   Adina; Cosma,   Smaranda.
Based on the results from this study our conclusions refer to the following ideas: The economic degree still is the first choice for enrollment in the higher education. Students believe that a diploma achieved in a economic faculty could help them in finding a good job. The competition in labor force market increasing and give advantages to employers in attracting good capacities and knowledge. Students believe that a work experience along the period of higher education process could be a good start for being employed. The most important weaknesses identified by graduates are: tools and methods of teaching process and the content of textbooks or study materials. The students appreciate as important for higher education system the novelty of the knowledge...

USING DEA TO EVALUATE EFFICIENCY OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Toth,   Reka.
The aim of the higher education reform process both in Hungary and in the European countries is establishing a competitive, qualitative higher education with efficiently operating institutions. The question of efficiency needs increased attention not only because of the decline of the state support but also the rapid raise of the student mass. In the education system it’s not easy to measure the output of the services. The situation is more complicated if an organisation or a sector has multiple inputs and outputs. In this case a possible method of determining efficiency is Data Envelopment Analysis. In my paper I’d like to introduce this method and use it to compare the efficiency of higher education systems. Furthermore I am examining whether their...

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Keczer,   Gabriella.
There are several methods of performance assessment used by corporations that can be applied in higher education institutions as well. One Hungarian and one foreign example show that it is an effective way of forming a solid basis for fair renumeration and thus for motivating employees. On a long run it would be inevitably necessary for making Hungarian higher education more competitive.

Equity, quality and relevance in higher education in Brazil
Provedor de dados: 42
Autores: Schwartzman,Simon.
Brazilian higher education has doubled its size in the 1990s, going from 1.5 million to more than 3 million students in the period. This expansion was mostly due to the growth of private education, which, in 2002, accounted for about two thirds of the enrollment. Is expansion making higher education more accessible to persons coming from the poorer segments of society? Is the quality of higher education suffering by the speed of this expansion? Is Brazil educating enough qualified persons to attend to the country's needs to participate in the new, knowledge-intensive and global economy? What public policies should be implemented, in order to foster the values of social equity and relevance? What are the policy implications of these developments? This...
