Abstract

Together with overall research on higher education, comparative and international studies of higher education have expanded considerably over the past decade in different parts of the world. While truly comparative research is still rather rare, it is beginning to yield important theoretical insights into such issues as the institutionalization of higher education, governance, access, curricula, and quality assessment. In addition, a growing body of more descriptive work on higher education, together with new and expanding data sources, provides an increasingly rich basis for further comparative work along different methodological lines. The gap between theoretically inspired and policy-triggered research on higher education is still considerable, but some initial bridges are being built.

Zusammenfassung

Die Hochschulforschung insgesamt – und damit auch die vergleichende und internationale Untersuchung von Hochschulen – hat im vergangenen Jahrzehnt in vielen Teilen der Welt erhebliche Fortschritte gemacht. Obwohl vergleichende Forschung im engeren Sinne nach wie vor selten ist, trägt sie zunehmend zur Gewinnung wichtiger theoretischer Einsichten in die Institutionalisierung von Hochschulen, in Strukturen und Steuerung, in den Zugang zur Hochschulbildung, in universitäre Lehrpläne und die Messung von Qualität bei. Darüber hinaus schaffen eine ständig zunehmende deskriptive Literatur sowie neue und expandierende Datensätze eine immer reichhaltigere Basis für weitere vergleichende Arbeiten nach unterschiedlichen methodologischen Ansätzen. Die Kluft zwischen theoretisch begründeter und von hochschulpolitischen Erwägungen gesteuerter Forschung ist nach wie vor beträchtlich, doch lässt sich der Beginn eines Brückenbaus feststellen.
