5. Geopolitical Transformations in Higher Education: Imagining, Fabricating and Contesting Innovation. Educational Governance Research. Volume 17

Author

Parreira do Amaral, Marcelo, Thompson, Christiane, Parreira do Amaral, Marcelo, and Thompson, Christiane

Abstract

This book discusses the central role education and research play in generating both value and comparative advantages in the (imageries of) global competition, competitiveness and transnational value chains. They are seen as "assets" placed at the forefront of developments that are arguably reshaping individuals, society and economy. This edited volume explores these developments in terms of changing relations between society, economy, science and individuals. The idea that we live in global knowledge societies and knowledge-based economies or that present-day productive systems constitute an industry 4.0 have gained currency as descriptions of contemporary society that are said to bear direct and indirect consequences for political, economic, and social orders. In this context, innovation, science and education are central themes in contemporary discussions about the future of modern societies. Innovation is enthusiastically embraced as the panacea for all sorts of societal issues of our times; science is equally deemed to play a decisive role in solving current problems and in heralding a bright future with more wealth and more welfare for all citizens; education is conferred the task to producing individuals equipped with both skills and competences considered key to innovation but also displaying the attitudes and dispositions that will secure continuous innovation and economic growth.

Abstract

The article "Erosion of the Culture of Debate? Arguing in the Academic Education Space" deals with the restriction of academic freedom of speech at German universities. It points out an increase in moral and political reprimands in the academic sphere, which leads to a limitation of the culture of debate. The article is based on empirical data and systematic considerations from the DFG project "Academic Freedom of Speech in the Academic Education Space". Various sources are cited that deal with the erosion of the culture of debate at universities, including a statement by the German Association of Universities, a document by a philosophy professor, and a speech by Federal President Steinmeier. The text discusses the significance of the culture of debate at universities, the role of academic speech, and the debate about academic freedom of speech. Various views and problems related to the culture of debate are discussed, with the idea of a university culture of debate also being critically examined. [Extracted from the article]

*CHATGPT, *EDUCATION research, *EDUCATIONAL relevance, *HIGHER education, *ARTIFICIAL intelligence
Abstract

The article "General Educational Science and the Problematisation of Pedagogical Knowledge - in the Age of AI" discusses the debate about the use of ChatGPT in higher education and emphasizes the relevance of General Educational Science. It is shown how this is realized as a "problem" in current forms of educational research. The article examines the impact of ChatGPT on university teaching and examination and discusses the opportunities, risks, and limitations of using AI models at universities. It emphasizes that the use of AI in higher education influences pedagogical processes of self-reflection and changes the shaping of pedagogy. The functions of General Educational Science and its relevance for problematizing pedagogy are examined, and the effects of algorithmic rationality on higher education are discussed.

Abstract

Für die Erziehungswissenschaft ist die neuerliche Debatte um Jürgen Habermas' »Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit« hochwillkommen. Im Rückgriff auf dessen vieldiskutierte Studie kann sie sich als Disziplin profilieren, die mit der Reflexion ebenjener Einrichtungen betraut ist, die dafür sorgen, dass aus vernunftbegabten Zweibeinern passable Diskursteilnehmer*innen werden. Gleichwohl ist die hohe Wertschätzung, die der Bildung in diesem Zusammenhang entgegengebracht wird, nicht unproblematisch. Die politische Kultur könnte, so ein Verdacht, von der fortschreitenden Akademisierung öffentlicher Debatten beschädigt werden. Demokratien gerieten in ein gefährliches Fahrwasser, wenn sie die Bedingungen zur Teilnahme am politischen Diskurs immer anspruchsvoller gestalten. Die Arenen öffentlicher Auseinandersetzungen werden daher nicht nur von jenen bedroht, die eine Politik des Ressentiments betreiben und autoritären Ordnungen das Wort reden, sondern auch von Angehörigen des Bildungsbürgertums, welche die eigenen Argumentationsstile, Überzeugungen und medialen Vorlieben generalisieren und einen Cordon sanitaire um solche Positionen errichten, die ihnen als nicht »diskussionswürdig« gelten.

21. Remote Sensing Methods for Assessing Abrupt Land Cover Change —A Case Study of the Central Luangwa Valley in Zambia

Abstract

Abstract I examined how abrupt land cover change can be detected, measured, and evaluated via accessible platforms using varied methods applicable to the non remote sensing (RS) specialized analyst. Analysis with free imagery and widely accessible platforms democratizes access to information and research capabilities (Nagaraj, Shears, & de Vaan, 2020). Enabling open access to remotely sensed data can aid in understanding and fostering the sustainability of socioecological systems. As socioecological natural disasters such as abrupt land cover change increase in frequency and intensity, the need for such analysis heightens. Thus, the focus of this thesis is how abrupt land cover change can be measured via readily accessible platforms. As proof of concept for the methods framework, I quantitatively analyzed land cover change with appropriate indices, classification methods, and algorithms. I selected a study area in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley and addressed how land cover changed during the COVID-19 pandemic from prepandemic 2019 to mid-2021. The results supported that the framework of methods I designed could quantify the magnitude of land cover change in km2 and determine whether the rate of change was greater than 10%. Using the random forest algorithm (RF) the magnitude of change in the study area was greater than 10%, with approximately 82% accuracy. With an estimated accuracy of 85%, I concluded that the land cover change extended to an area of 1250 km2. The result was based on the spectral angle (SA) algorithm, which performed with greater accuracy than the minimum distance (MD) and maximum likelihood (MLC) algorithms, respectively. Moreover, analysis via spectral indices and statistics enabled the determination of approximate locations and directions of change. Overall, the devised framework proved worthwhile for conducting a broad land cover change analysis. However, the ability to tailor the methods introduced to a given problem set, such as indices or algorithms, renders this framework worthwhile in studying other socio-ecological problems. The framework of methods introduced has broad applicability.

Abstract

The concept of geopolitics is not often associated with the term knowledge-based economy. Yet, it has become quintessential to argue that we are currently living in an era marked by the prominence of knowledge in all societal, economic and cultural developments, as well as pronouncements about the knowledge-intensive form of capitalism as an important subtext for inter-state relations and inter-spatial competition. In this presentation, I seek to geopoliticize the purportedly geoeconomic present, particularly as it unfolds in the strategies of knowledge-intensive capitalism and associated societal developments. I do that by first introducing the concept of knowledge-based economization which refers both to the material processes of knowledge-intensive capitalism (including subject formation), and to the processes whereby this form of capitalism is constructed discursively through imageries and objectifying social practices. Second, I proceed to claim that the phenomenon of knowledge-based economization includes significant geopolitical dimensions. I lay a foundation for comprehending the geopolitics of knowledge-based economization through three constitutive dimensions: geopolitical discourses, the production of geopolitical objects in calculative practices, and geopolitical subjects. Finally, I demonstrate that the process of knowledge-based economization has shifted qualitatively since the early 1990s. It first emerged in the form of late-Keynesian technopolization, and was produced in the strategies of the “entrepreneurial state”. Since the late 1990s, knowledge-based economization has manifested itself in all sorts of imaginaries and practices that are predicated on the idea of “smartness”. After the global recession in 2008, knowledge-based economization has again proceeded through new forms. Its latest phase has become increasingly salient in the constitutive imaginaries of the so-called start-up economy. In this context, capitalist societies are witnessing an expansion in the processes of entrepreneurialization and urbanization of the nation-state.
