Academic development in universities: experience of foreign universities
Abstract
The present paper summarizes a review of the best practices and models of academic development in
foreign universities. It is argued that academic development as a domain of professional activity is developed
as a response to the three interrelated processes: emergence of the new forms of public management, dissemination
of 'entrepreneurial university' conception and life-long learning programs. Possible goals, professionalization
problems and organizational models of academic development are elaborated in order to present heterogeneity
of this phenomenon. We conclude by highlighting the most promising types of academic development programs
which is possible to implement in Russian universities.
