🤔 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡: “𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.” 🔍 Reality: Big data is undermining science. Many studies fail to replicate, and issues like p-hacking and HARKing exploit large datasets. Even AI 🤖 can generate fake papers that pass peer review. 🌟 How can science regain trust? 💡 Public data access, better peer review, and enforcing replication are key. 🔗 Read the full analysis by Gary Smith in our latest issue here: https://lnkd.in/eRuW7_ip

What a privilege to share our thoughts here through the Center for International Higher Education. A key takeaway that I want to emphasise is the need for interdisciplinary research with collaborations between digital, education and sociology in order to enhance our understanding of the practices in the field. I encourage researchers to reach out across disciplines and to practitioners to build a stronger research agenda, and improve our understanding of international education in the digital age.

New research reveals a critical gap: while AI and digitalization are rapidly transforming international education, our research and policy frameworks aren't keeping pace. 🌏 The impact extends far beyond assignments. International students navigate complex digital environments that shape their entire educational experience. 📌 The future of international education depends on understanding these digital dynamics. 📚 Read the full analysis by Shanton Chang, Marc Cheong, and Eduardo Oliveira  here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eV7XQQ6C

As resources committed to basic #science are increasingly contested, and access to #research opportunities becomes more elite – though critical to securing humanity’s future – the #Nobel science prizes give us universal pause to consider what we, as a human society, want to invest in, argue Philip Altbach & Tessa DeLaquil. The Nobel science prizes have important lessons for #universities worldwide, and it is worth looking at the results and the background in terms of who won (and their career trajectories) and what they won for. This year, the authors highlight a few significant ‘takeaways’: ✴️ The continued importance of basic research and its influence on fundamental change in science, business and society. ✴️ The prevalence of the #AI wave in the Nobels and its potential contributions from basic science to applied innovation, among other controversies. ✴️ The complete male domination of the 2024 awards. ✴️ A monopoly by top universities in the US and the UK in both the training and location of Nobelists – and this year with affiliation to some prominent private sector companies. As noted in previous editions of their annual Nobel analysis, perhaps what really stands out in the awarding of Nobel prizes, argue Altbach and DeLaquil, is the recognition of the great value and contribution of the lifework of scientists involved in basic research. At a time when the support (financially and structurally) for basic research in both the sciences and the arts, within universities and more broadly in society, is under threat, the Nobels focus on fundamental science as a central investment for the future of human society. The authors go on to discuss the Nobels in terms of: 🔸 Controversies. 🔸 Male domination. 🔸 Western domination. 🔸 Structural strengths – and weaknesses. 🔸 What about Asia? 🔸 ‘Nobel gazing’. 📌 Read the full story in University World News: https://lnkd.in/dAYPupRt #scientometrics #science #Nobelprize #rankings #gender #Anglosphere

Big data is everywhere in higher education, tracking, ranking, and guiding decisions. It promises incredible breakthroughs in research and accessibility, but is it also fueling a crisis of credibility? Gary N. Smith, Horia Onița, Shanton Chang, Marc Cheong, and Eduardo Oliveira explore the role of big data and digitalization in higher education.

This experience in 2019 was transformative earlier in my doctoral program - I encourage all #intled and #highered scholars to consider participating! You have the opportunity to work with many amazing scholars and students that attend BC, work in the CIHE, and participate in this conference.
