Auch die Erziehungswissenschaft ist gegenwärtig mit wissenschaftspolitischen Erwartungen an Wettbewerb, Qualitätssicherung und Evaluation konfrontiert. Der Beitrag analysiert Forschungsleistungen der Erziehungswissenschaft und nutzt dazu Daten des vom Centrum für Hochschulentwicklung (CHE) durchgeführten und in der Zeitschrift STERN veröffentlichten fachspezifischen Hochschulrankings. Er befasst sich zunächst knapp mit der Kritik an diesen Hochschulrankings und reanalysiert dann die Daten im Blick auf Publikationen, Projektfinanzierung und Drittmitteleinwerbungen, auch im Vergleich zu anderen Disziplinen. Die Befunde zeigen eine relativ hohe Inklusionsbereitschaft unterschiedlicher Wissensformen, die nicht nur die evaluative, sondern auch die fachlich spezifische Definition und Bewertung von 'Qualität' erziehungswissenschaftlicher Forschung erschwert. Der Beitrag plädiert für eine aktive und konstruktive Beteiligung der Erziehungswissenschaft an der Weiterentwicklung standardisierter, wissenschaftlich begründeter und zugleich auch wissenschaftspolitisch anschlussfähiger Indikatoren.

Knowledge is globally institutionalized as three differentiated and interpenetrating social institutions: education as a social institution for transmitting humankind's existing knowledge, science as a social institution for creating new knowledge that becomes a global public good, and technology as a social institution for creating new knowledge that becomes privately appropriated. These three social institutions are governed by a global regime that is anchored in a web of organizations that through an epistemic community of analysts of knowledge, formulates and promulgates policies for knowledge. In education, the regime promotes transmission of existing knowledge to youth through schooling and also through the movement of students around the world. In science, the regime supports creation and diffusion of new knowledge around the world through open publication. In technology, the regime promotes private appropriation of new knowledge through property rights in the form of patenting, which is increasingly global.

The federal government has a longstanding role in conducting education research and collecting education data, and the Department of Education's Institute of Education Services (IES) has a broad mission to provide this information to a wide variety of stakeholders. IES is Education's primary research and evaluation arm. This book examines the extent to which IES has demonstrated its ability to support high-quality research and fulfill its mission, the extent to which selected Education research and technical assistance groups disseminate relevant products to the education field, and how IES co

Adequate staffing of university studies with qualified academics was completed thanks to the reimplementation of three-stage university education during the post-socialist restoration of higher education in the Czech Republic. Thus, the doctoral degree of education has been attained by more than four-fifths of academic staff, with over two-fifths of them being aged 50+. The current course of university studies, including doctoral study programs, is influenced by their focus on educational and research strategy. With regards to the regulations for graduating in doctoral studies, doctoral candidates act as homo oeconomicus following neo-liberal educational policy. The conditions for doctoral studies, namely, those in educational sciences, thus lead to paradoxes caused by the current higher educational policy. The objective of the paper is to analyze the neoliberal set-up of the higher education policy of the Czech Republic in the field of doctoral studies in educational sciences in particular and its possible impacts in the area of labor-market integration of graduates and university training of academics.
