  • Multiparadigmatic Humanities: Curricula for Global Studies
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6(1); April 2014 Multiparadigmatic Humanities: Curricula for Global Studies Lena Bader Tabea Bereuther Elisabeth Deutsch Julia Edlinger Silvia Füreder Emanuel Kaspar Marlene Köttstorfer Claudia Mautner Christine Rossegger Alina Samonig Stefan Samonig Christoph Schuster Gerhard Witz Victoria Zotter Global Studies Karl Franzens University Graz Austria Daniela Lehner Paris Lodron University Salzburg Austria Alexander Rozanov Ilya V. Ilyin Faculty for Global Studies Lomonosov State University Moscow, Russia Gilbert Ahamer Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change Advisory Board Global Studies Graz University, Austria Abstract In recent, decades, humanities and social sciences have become “theory exporting sciences”. Especially multi- perspectivistic issues and multiparadigmatic approaches are one of the generic strengths of humanities since classic times. Recently emerged “Global Studies” mean a combination of political, historical, social, cultural, developmental, geographic, economic, environmental and technological approaches, thus generating a true multiparadigmatic view, as demanded for modern reality. This article provides an overview of multicultural and developmental curricula worldwide with an emphasis on “Global Studies” (GS) curricula such as the recently- founded GS Master’s curriculum at Graz University, Austria. Based on an in-depth comparison, practical and implementable suggestions are made about how to improve such curricula in order to ensure the highest and globally compatible academic quality. Through a web-based process of authoring and reviewing, over two dozen students and practitioners in Global Studies have compiled this analysis. 314 © Center for Promoting Ideas, USA www.ijhssnet.com Further networking among universities from every continent, and their students, is thus facilitated for future quality assessment of curricula with a geographic leaning.

  • Austria: a Rapidly Expanding Higher Education Sector
    Chapter 13 Austria: A Rapidly Expanding Higher Education Sector 13.1 Education System Between 2002 and 2011, the number of Austrians in tertiary education increased by 55 %. (Eurostat 2014 ) 1 Austrian universities receive more students each year. This is in line with govern- ment policy to have a well-educated population, but it also leads to a high drop-out rate and discussion about the future of the university system. In the last decade, Austria’s tertiary education participation has gone from well below the EU-27 aver- age to well above this average (Eurostat 2014 ; BMUKK 2013a ) 2 One of the reactions to this development is the slow rise of honors programs in higher education in recent years. This is a logical step in the Austrian context, after the development of extensive programs and projects for talented and gifted children in primary and secondary education in earlier years. Austria – like Germany – is a federal republic consisting of Bundesländer (Box 13.1 ), but educational matters are signifi cantly more in federal hands than in Germany. While primary and secondary education programs are administered by the Bundesländer, tertiary education is the responsibility of the federal government. The education system is quite stable, as federal legislation on education can only be amended or introduced with a two-thirds majority in parliament (Box 13.2 ). Differentiat ion is made early in the Austrian school system. Primary level is 4 years from age 6. Lower secondary school starts around age 10, also lasts 4 years, and is divided in four different levels. Academic secondary school lower level (AHS Unterstufe ) is the one preparing students for university education.

  • Mitteilungsblatt – Sondernummer Der Paris Lodron-Universität Salzburg
    Studienjahr 2018/2019 27. Februar 2019 28. Stück Mitteilungsblatt – Sondernummer der Paris Lodron-Universität Salzburg 77. Affiliation Policy – Angabe der institutionellen Zuordnung bei Publikationen und For- schungsleistungen. 1. Einleitung Wissenschaftliche Publikationen und Forschungsleistungen sind Schlüsselindikatoren für das Leis- tungsspektrum der Paris-Lodron-Universität Salzburg (PLUS). Der wissenschaftliche Erfolg von For- scherInnen bzw. Universitäten wird im nationalen und internationalen Wissenschaftsdiskurs primär anhand des Publikationsoutputs in Fachorganen (Zeitschriften, monographische Werke, sowie Ta- gungs- und Kongressberichte) bewertet. Leistungsvergleiche zwischen wissenschaftlichen Instituti- onen basieren daher vielfach auf den ihnen zugeordneten Publikationsdaten. Deshalb ist es wichtig, dass Publikationen von ForscherInnen der PLUS eindeutig und korrekt so- wohl der/dem UrheberIn als auch der zugehörigen Institution (also der PLUS) zugeordnet werden können. Nur so wird die Summe der individuellen Forschungsleistungen auf Institutionsebene quan- tifizierbar. Um dies zu erreichen, ist eine standardisierte Affiliationsbezeichnung in deutscher und englischer Sprache, sowie eine einheitliche Verwendung des eigenen Namens unabdingbar. Die standardisierte Bezeichnung der PLUS ist daher im gesamten Publikationsprozess sowie überall dort, wo die eigene Forschungsstätte zu bezeichnen ist (z.B. bei Vorträgen, Kongressen, For- schungsanträgen etc.), zu verwenden. 2.
