Abstract: espanolLa educacion superior esta considerada como un motor de desarrollo y crecimiento en la sociedad del conocimiento, debido a sus beneficios para impulsar la investigacion, el conocimiento y la innovacion tecnologica. Este documento examina la relacion entre la innovacion, la educacion superior y el crecimiento economico durante el periodo 1996-2014 en el caso de los paises desarrollados y en desarrollo. La relacion de cointegracion entre series se examino mediante el uso de la prueba de cointegracion de panel desarrollada por Pedroni (1999, 2004) y Kao (1999). Como resultado del analisis empirico, se determino la relacion de cointegracion entre las series. Los resultados tambien proporcionan evidencia de un efecto positivo de la innovacion en la educacion terciaria sobre el crecimiento economico. EnglishHigher education is considered as an engine for development and growth in the knowledge society, because of its benefits to boost research, knowledge and technological innovation. This paper examines the relation between innovation, higher education and economic growth during the 1996-2014 period in the case of developed and developing countries. The cointegration relationship between series was examined by using panel cointegration test developed by Pedroni (1999, 2004) and Kao (1999). As a result of the empirical analysis, cointegration relationship between the series was determined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight on various policies announced in the higher education system and compare them with the currently adopted system and propose some suggestions for its effective implementation towards achieving its objectives.
Abstract: Well defined and futuristic education policy is essential for a country at school and college levels due to the reason that education leads to economic and social progress. Different countries adopt different education systems by considering the tradition and culture and adopt different stages during their life cycle at school and college education levels to make it effective. Recently Government of India announced its new Education policy which is based on the recommendations by an expert committee headed by Dr. Kasturirangan, Former chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). This paper highlights on various policies announced in the higher education system and compare them with the currently adopted system. Various innovations and predicted implications of NEP 2020 on the Indian higher education system along with its merits are discussed. Finally, some suggestions are proposed for its effective implementation towards achieving its objectives.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of explanatory variables of globalization, renewable energy consumption, and agricultural production on the ecological footprint in emerging countries using fixed-effect panel quantile regression of 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th in the period 2002 to 2016.
Abstract: Nowadays, paying attention to globalization and the consumption of renewable energy on the ecological footprint is one of the most important issues in the world. In the age of globalization, all countries are trying to prevent the spread of ecological degradation by enacting laws and regulations at the national level and regulating international agreements. This study investigates the effect of explanatory variables of globalization, renewable energy consumption, and agricultural production on the ecological footprint in emerging countries using fixed-effect panel quantile regression of 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th in the period 2002 to 2016. The results showed that the consumption of renewable energy at all levels except the 25th quantile has a positive and significant effect on the ecological footprint; this effect is more in higher quantiles. Globalization in all quantiles has a negative and significant impact on the ecological footprint and has had the most excellent effect among other explanatory variables. Agricultural production variable at the 25th and 50th quantile levels had the most significant and positive effect on the ecological footprint. Therefore, it can be concluded that the increase in agricultural production, income, renewable energy consumption, population, and trade openness can lead to increased environmental degradation. However, the effects of globalization have had the most negligible negative impact on the ecological footprint.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the take-home exam as a formative remote assessment tool as a local case in Turkey, and surveyed the views of 43 undergraduate students about the quality of takehome exams as a remote assessment tools.
Abstract: COVID-19 has changed the way we teach. Today, we have become far more experienced in the delivery of distance education and use of online tools. However, the quality of distance education and learning outcomes have become a matter of ongoing debate. Just as higher education aims to develop high-level skills in its students, researchers are seeking ways to perform valid and reliable assessment in distance education. Institutions and educators are also in search of assessment tools that can help prevent instances of cheating and plagiarism. However, performance-based assessment tools may also offer options to measure both high-level skills and in limiting cheating behaviors. In this study, we used the take-home exam as a formative remote assessment tool as a local case in Turkey. We surveyed the views of 43 undergraduate students about the quality of take-home exams as a remote assessment tool. The results showed that participants had a high quality perception about the use of take-home exam, especially with regards to being kept informed about evaluation and scoring, rapid assessment, the provision of feedback, and consistency of scope between assessment and course content. Whereas students highly perceived the use of take-home exams, they reported more moderate views regarding take-home exams increasing the level of interaction with their peers. The results of this study suggest that the use of take-home exams is significantly preferred by higher education students, that it is a reliable and distinctive way to measure students' academic performance, and may increase student-teacher interaction through its formative use.
