Welcome

Welcome to the first of two Higher Education Reports for November, 2020. In this issue, we cover Latin America and look at the latest from the World University Rankings: Latin America Region 2021.

For me, this report and the rankings provide an important insight into the state of higher education in Latin America. Throughout my travels (when they were allowed), I was often surprised that when discussing higher education in the Southern Hemisphere, the region didn’t come up as often as I would have expected. Most discussions, instead, focussed on the international education powerhouses, New Zealand and Australia. There’s a vibrant and rich Readers of QS Global Education News and the soon to be rebranded history of research and WOWNEWS website, however, will be very aware of the vibrant and innovation coming out of rich history of research and innovation coming out of Latin American Latin America. institutions.

THE DIRECTION OF MEDICAL EDUCATION

By Anton John Crace, Editor, QS Quacquarelli Symonds

“Modern medicine has gone through major changes in the past 100 years,” says Dr Charas Suwanwela, Professor Emeritus in Surgery (Neurosurgery) at Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University.

“The first disruption can be traced back to Flexner in 1918, when the scientific basis of medicine was emphazised, and universities were given the duty of overseeing medical education instead of medical apprenticeship.”

Medical education finds itself in a period of disruption. The past century has seen significant changes to the field, due to factors such as the explosion of medical knowledge and technologies in the 1960s, increased evidence-based practice, and commercialization and globalization.

Dr Suwanwela, however, says the 21st century’s focus on soft skills as well as the sudden increase in the opportunities technology provide has profoundly impacted medical education.

“Digital transformation demands drastic changes in the medical care system as well as medical education,” he tells.

Coupled with a period of uncertainty, the future of medical education is positioned to define the new normal.

Addressing both of these concerns, technology to pool resources could reduce costs and reduce the amount of resources used to redesign curriculum. Currently, notes Dr Prober, there are around 150 US institutions redesigning their curriculum, questioning the effectiveness of that process.

Using an immersive simulation, which itself may involve role-playing rather than a new technology, also allows medical students to safely undergo high-pressure situations and later evaluate through a debrief session.

Curran remains upbeat about the role of digital techniques and technologies in medical education and adds it’s also a growing area for academic research. To fully benefit students and, in the long run, patients, there should be a justification for any change in medical education.

METHODOLOGY: INDICATORS & WEIGHTINGS

The QS World University Rankings : Latin America have been published since 2011. The method retains key indicators of the global ranking, such as Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, and Faculty to Student Ratio, but also considers a set of performance metrics carefully tailored for the region.

Academic Reputation Taken from the annual survey conducted by QS designed to evaluate the perceptions of academics from 30.0% around the world regarding the best institutions in terms of research. This year, over 102,500 responses were recorded globally.

Employer Reputation 20.0% Taken from the annual QS survey aimed at gathering the views of employers around the world on the institutions providing the best professionals. This year around 52,000 responses were analysed.

Faculty Student 10.0% This is the ratio between the number of academic staﬀ and number of students. A higher number of teachers per student is an indirect indicator of the commitment of the institutions to high-quality teaching.

Staﬀ with PhD This indicator attempts to assess the quality of training of the academic staﬀ, detecting the proportion of them 10.0% that have reached the highest level of education in their area of expertise. This is an indirect measure of the commitment of universities to high-quality teaching and research.

Citations per Paper This ratio measures the average number of citations obtained per publication, and is a proxy of the impact 10.0% and quality of the scientific work done by universities. Underlying data of papers and citations is indexed by Scopus. The paper and citations counts are normalized in an attempt to equalize the influence of citations across the five broad faculty areas.

Papers per Faculty This indicator seeks to determine the average number of scientific publications (papers) produced per faculty 5.0% and evaluates the productivity of research institutions. Data is extracted from Scopus. Indexed papers in the last five full years are used (from 2014 to 2018 for the 2021 edition). The paper count is normalized, ensuring that citations achieved in each of the five broad faculty areas are weighted equally.

International Research Network Using data provided by Scopus, this indicator assesses the degree of international openness in terms of 10.0% research collaboration for each evaluated institution. The Margalef Index, widely used in the environmental sciences, has been adapted to estimate the richness of the selected international research partners for a given institution.

Web Impact This indicator seeks to assess the eﬀectiveness with which institutions are making use of new technologies. 5.0% Baseline information is provided by the Ranking Web of Universities (www.webometrics.info), although the results are refactored to exclude the Excellence indicator, which is already considered in the metrics related to scientiﬁc research.

EDUCATORS’ PERCEPTIONS OF ONLINE

44 QS HIGHER EDUCATION REPORT FEATURING THE 2021 LATIN AMERICA RANKINGS

By Monica Hornung Cattan, Head of Programs, QS Quacquarelli Symonds

QS conducts a series of ongoing surveys of academics, employers, and students on their perceptions of online education, its benefits, its challenges, and where it should move forward in the future.

Results from the survey of academics provide a useful insight into the thoughts of those at the coalface of education and highlight a wide range of opinions and considerations. While there is a level of concern around the effectiveness of online education, there is also a degree of hope that new opportunities and improvements for the benefit of students are emerging.

Respondents represent a broad range of subjects, from marketing, politics and international students, and business studies, to environmental sciences, anatomy and physiology, and engineering. Interaction

One of the biggest concerns for educators is the level of peer-to-peer and teacher-to-student interaction. Several say it is at times difficult to maintain student motivation.

“Trying to replicate the face-to-face experience that truly facilitates the exchange of ideas in a non-verbal way. Human emotion and sense through physical interaction is not possible online,” says one respondent.

Online vs face-to-face

Overwhelmingly, academics say online delivery of education os not identical to face-to-face delivery. The barriers academics identify primarily center around losing the non-verbal and motivational benefits of physical presence within a classroom.

Despite those concerns, however, many also say online education’s differences are an opportunity. Respondents agree the online space can deliver education in new ways and several say they are hopeful institutions will use their foray into digital education to capitalize on its efficiencies and develop new modes of learning.

Other comments emphasize the potential to create further inter-disciplinary subjects.

The results of the survey show both a high level of awareness of barriers and a high level of enthusiasm for the benefits of online and blended models in the future.
