Martin Trow on British higher education
For almost half a century from the early 1960s Martin Trow was the most persistent American commentator on British higher education. He analysed the main reports from Robbins to Dearing, developed and applied a language for discussing common problems amongst different systems, and focused on the uncertain progress of the UK to mass higher education. He was committed to understanding and comparing national systems of higher education in their wide…
On being an external examiner
This article presents some of the findings from an interview survey of external examiners of undergraduate courses in the UK carried out in 2004. It examines the reasons why academics are willing to take on and continue with this work, despite the other demands on their time and higher institutional priorities such as their own teaching and research. It finds that external examiners often receive little or no support from their own institution fo…
Residence' and 'accommodation' in higher education
Does a University Have a Culture
How do academic staff, including innovators in teaching and learning, perceive the reality of a 'culture' in their organisation? The concept of 'organisational culture', commonly used from the 1980s, is discussed in the context of evidence from a research project and other sources, suggesting that the concept has failed to reflect the dual position of academics in their disciplinary and institutional contexts, the former of which is generally the…
Managing to Innovate in Higher Education
This paper reviews and discusses the nature of innovation in higher education teaching and learning. It traces a gradual shift from innovation generated predominantly at the local level to a form of innovation largely directed by the higher education institutions. It argues that the study of innovation demands that questions are asked about the nature and ownership of the innovation, its policy context and whose interests the innovation serves
Why innovate? Some preliminary findings from a research project on 'innovations in teaching and learning in higher education ̊s
This article presents information gathered from the first phase of a research project involving interviews with 221 staff at 15 UK universities during 1997–98, which focused on the experiences of those who have introduced innovations in teaching and learning in higher education. In particular it examines the reasons why some staff become involved in innovation and begins an analysis of the institutional contexts within which innovation takes plac…

A Higher Education
Originally published in 1990, A Higher Education was commissioned by the Council for National Academic Awards to commemorate its silver jubilee. The book covers the history of a period of rapid expansion in higher education outside the universities, mirrored in the growth and development of the CNAA. The Council was established with the role of awarding degree courses in polytechnics and colleges, and so its successes and strengths – as well as i…
An Educational War on Poverty
Poverty and effective schools
James Coleman's 1966 Equality of Educational Opportunity in the USA cast doubt on the ability of schools to overcome family influence and affect children's attainment. An American ‘effective schools’ movement, beginning in the late 1970s, sought to refocus attention on school differences and the characteristics of more or less ‘effective’ schools. A parallel British research interest developed in the 1970s and an international movement for effect…

The Metropolitan Experience in American Education
The editors of the History of Education Quarterly are pleased to present this forum on Lawrence A. Cremin's American Education: The Metropolitan Experience, 1876–1980. Beginning in the 1960s, Cremin began to chart a new and distinctive approach to the study of America's educational past. This final volume on “the metropolitan experience” therefore completes a trilogy over two decades in the making. We hope that this forum offers our readers an op…

The history of higher education has paid scant attention to the attitudes and expectations of the customers—the students themselves and the employers of graduates—and to the relationships between higher education provision and the institutions on the one hand, and the wider constituencies on the other hand. Recent research on student and employer attitudes to sectors of higher education has not previously been set in the context of the history of…

Can the Clubs Grow
the relationship between ideas and men of ideas, on the one hand, and working-class and popular action on the other, has not been looked at very closely in post-war Britain. It should be becoming increasingly clear, however, that orthodox communist views, for example, of automatic working-class leadership

Robert Owen and the Owenites in Britain and America
Robert Owen and the Owenites were associated with the rise of an early industrial society in Britain and with the development of an agricultural, frontier society in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century. This book, originally published in 1969, was the first to use both British and American source material, and tells the story of Robert Owen and the movement associated with his name, from the standpoint of comparative…

The Education of the Poor; The History of a National School, 1824-1974
Originally published 1974. Thousands of elementary schools for the children of the poor were founded during the nineteenth century, yet there is scarcely a published history of a single one of them. This volume is precisely such a history and the authors trace its story against the background of local and national change in education and society. On the basis of a unique collection of records the authors have pieced together a picture of the soci…

Policy as History and as Theory
Education since 1944, like any social process or institution in any period, raises difficult questions of description, and therefore of selection and emphasis. Whether historians remain committed to description and selection, or move explicitly into interpretation, their work is influenced or informed or governed by some kind of theory-from the least explicit, 'commonsense' kind, to the most explicit and ideological. Historical selection is not r…
