The Dissolution and Reemergence of the Public University Amid Changing State-University Relationships
Modernidad, globalización y desarrollo
Este artículo aborda el rol del discurso de la Economía Basada en el Conocimiento en las políticas de ciencia, tecnología e innovación en Chile. A partir de un análisis del discurso que se articula en los principales documentos de políticas en el área, analiza, en primer lugar, cómo ha sido el proceso de instalación, despliegue e institucionalización del discurso de la Economía Basada en el Conocimiento en el país, y cómo éste se ha convertido en…

Investigating critical thinking in higher education in Latin America
Critical thinking (CT) in higher education (HE) has been widely investigated in Western countries. Most of the research on CT has conceived it as a higher order thinking skill with implications for learning processes. CT has also been connected with critical pedagogies, an approach that seems particularly attuned with the Latin American region. Through a systematic literature review, this article maps the scholarship on CT in HE in Latin America …
Unveiling the mainstream narrative and embracing critical voices in the era of internationalisation in higher education
This paper critically examines narratives of internationalisation in higher education, highlighting three core narratives: a normative narrative that emphasises economic growth and quality education, a critical narrative that challenges internationalisation as a hegemonic market-based force, and a narrative that addresses colonial legacies, the latter two narratives with considerations from Latin America. The study analyses policy documents from …
The socially responsible European university
Purpose This paper aims to propose a thesis about the historical evolution of the relationship of the European University in relation to the idea of social responsibility. Design/methodology/approach This paper is philosophical, conceptual and theoretical and in proffering a bold thesis, has an argumentative character appropriate to that style. Findings Three stages can be identified over the past 200 years in the relationship between the univers…
Celebrating Higher Education’s 50 years
Dismantling new and old forms of colonialism
Latin American universities have been subject to old and new forms of colonialism that act concurrently. Old forms of colonialism are based on a matrix of race and labour divisions that universities have inherited, reproduced, and reinforced. New forms of colonialism are attaching to global forces that promote a world class university model based on prestige, competition and international rankings. By means of both a bibliometric and a thematic a…
Global South Research Collaboration
Research collaboration has become a major research topic in the social sciences. While this literature has mainly focused on collaborative dynamics in the Global North, more recent studies have examined these dynamics within the Global South. This article expands the scope of analysis by comparing the level of co-publications by Global South-based scholars with Global South-based colleagues and that between academics at Global South institutions …
(Un)Limited choice
In highly marketised higher education systems, massification has afforded greater access, particularly for first-in-generation students. Generally, this expansion has been fuelled by neoliberal ideologies that valorise the notion of choice and promise of social mobility. In this study, using interviews with 25 first-generation students, the issue of choice is critically examined in one of the earliest arenas of neoliberal experimentation: the Chi…
Disrupting curricula and pedagogies in Latin American universities
Since the colonial era, Latin American universities have been subjected to narratives about what it means to be a university. Drawing on the concept of coloniality, this paper examines curricular and teaching practices in higher education that aim to decolonise Latin American universities, a particular topic that has been under-investigated. By means of a systematic literature review and a thematic analysis, 40 papers authored by at least one sch…
Polifonía epistémica de la investigación sobre las experiencias estudiantiles
En este artículo, se examina la producción de conocimiento en Latinoamérica sobre lo que se conoce en la literatura internacional como ‘las experiencias del estudiante’ (‘the student experience’ en inglés). Este constructo ha sido investigado en Reino Unido mientras que, en Estados Unidos, ‘student engagement’ ha ganado terreno. A pesar de que en Latinoamérica la producción de conocimiento en educación superior ha ido aumentando en la última déca…
The State, Public Universities and Public Goods
Consensus and dissensus
In this paper, the public dimension of universities in Chile is examined. Interviews were held with academics at both public and private well-established universities and new private universities. The analysis shows a consensus regarding the production of certain public goods such as knowledge, wider access and the promotion of a public sphere. It also reveals a dissensus such that academics at well-established universities tend to maintain a sta…
Framing educational policy discourse in neoliberal contexts
This article discusses the role of the media and academic experts in the configuration of educational policy in a neoliberal context. The analysis is based on the discourse on the public/private divide in higher education scrutinising the opinion columns of El Mercurio, a major Chilean newspaper. The authors identify the discursive disappearance of the public university and the reappearance of the 'public' dimension connected to the private secto…
Global and Peripheral Identities in the Production of Knowledge on Higher Education Reforms
Patterns of theory use in qualitative research in higher education studies in Latin America
The relationship between theory and qualitative research has been extensively examined in the literature and has emerged as a problematic matter. This debate has been driven forward mainly in Anglo-Saxon countries and has done scant justice to an understanding of these issues in regions of the South. This paper addresses this matter by drawing on a geopolitical perspective. The study here provides an analysis of 24 papers by Latin-American resear…
Privileging the Privileged
In the last few decades, many developing countries have dramatically expanded the number of government-sponsored fellowships for graduate studies abroad to increase their participation in the knowledge economy. To award these grants, these programs have typically relied on international university rankings as their main selection criterion. Existing studies suggest these fellowships have been disproportionally awarded to applicants from privilege…
Universities, knowledge and pedagogical configurations
This paper elaborates a typology of universities in which each university is characteristically associated with (i) diverse missions, (ii) different ways of producing knowledge and (iii) contrasting pedagogical configurations. Four university forms are identified, analysed and illustrated, namely the expert university, the non-elite university, the entrepreneurial university and the revolutionary university. It is suggested that the typology and …
Polos epistemológicos
En este artículo se proponen e ilustran los conceptos de polo epistemológico I (cercano a los marcos teóricos del investigador)y polo epistemológico II (cercano a la perspectiva de los participantes de una realidad educativa). Se plantea queel tránsito constante y permanente entre ambos polos y la puesta en marcha del mecanismo de vigilancia epistemológica permiten la construcción de conocimiento teórico en investigación cualitativa. Al finalizar…
Challenging Frameworks for Understanding Teaching Practices in Higher Education
Dominant conceptions of teaching in higher education imply that, essentially, there are two types of teaching approaches: the ‘content’ and the ‘student-focused’ approach. Against that background, this paper has a dual purpose. On the one hand, it initiates a critique of the contemporary teaching approaches framework. On the other hand, it offers some suggestions as to an appropriate methodology for researching teaching in higher education, given…

Marketing time
In countries such as Chile in which a neoliberal economic approach is predominant, higher education systems are characterized by productivity, competition for resources and income generation, all of which have impact on academics' experiences of time. Through a qualitative approach in which 20 interviews and two focus groups were conducted, this study focuses on a public university in Chile and examines ways in which academics experience time. Th…

Teaching Skills in Virtual and Blended Learning Environments
Universities are currently immersed in what is known as the process of European convergence to create the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The aim is to establish a standardized, compatible and flexible European university system that enables graduates and undergraduates to move easily from one institution to another within Europe. As a result of evaluation mechanisms, the system will be transparent and of high quality, which will make it a…

Academic Fragilities in a Marketised Age
Academics are confronted with multiple and conflicting narratives as to what it is to be an academic. Their identities, however, are not entirely of their own making. Through a qualitative study, and deploying a social realist perspective, this paper analyses academic identities in Chile and attempts to locate the patterns of identity in the context of a marketised higher education system. The data were collected in both a state and a private uni…
