Introduction - The University in the Post-Massification Era: A Conceptual Framework -- PART 1: Post-massification and Changing Environments -- PART 2: Teaching, Research, and Service Functions at the Crossroads -- PART 3: The University as a Social System at the Crossroads -- PART 4: The University at the Crossroads.- Conclusion.
The modern university started as an innovative model - a research-driven teaching and service model in the 19th century -, but the contemporary university is in a crisis of identity. The major challenge is how to harmonize different missions, e.g., teaching, research, and service. The triple function has become questionable and research now dominates the other two functions in contemporary higher education. This book takes a step towards further academic and policy discussions on the restructuring the triple functions of university and designing the future of the post-massified university.
