Abstract:
|
Denmark is among the world’s most competitive nations. At the same time it has a strong tradition
of citizenship‐oriented tertiary education. Nevertheless, we are currently witnessing the erosion of
this tradition, arguably as a result of neoliberal ideologies ushered in by globalization and
internationalization processes. These processes have stirred domestic fears, evident in government reports, about the need to improve Danish higher education to ‘meet the challenges
of globalisation’. Concrete instances of possible erosion include recent directives to examine and
grade group work on an individual basis, the abolition of the ‘13’ grade for individual or group
performance, and the introduction of measurable skills via “learning objectives,” for all tertiary
education courses. |
