Buku 'Excellence without a Soul: How a Great Universty Forgot Education" Harvard Univ. Press, 2006) dihasilkan oleh Profesor Harry Lewis. Prof Harry pernah menjadi Dekan Kolej Harvard selama 8 tahun dan Profesor selama 32 tahun.

Buku ini menjelaskan bahawa penyelidikkan dibawah arah negara dan industri tidak pedulikan kesan-kesan negatif kepada masyarakat. Profesor-profesor sibuk mengejar dana penyelidikkan dan lupa tugas pendidikan dan pengajaran.

Rektor/presiden/Naib Canselor sibuk dengan usaha menambah kekuatan kewangan universiti untuk mendapat ranking tinggi. Isu-isu pelajar pelajar bertambah buruk.

Terdapat pensyarah dan profesor yang mempunyai akhlak yang buruk, mementingkan diri sendiri, memandang rendah pada orang lain yang tidak menyanjung mereka dan sikap membenci nilai-nilai agama dan etika. Terdapat juga hasad dengki, polticking dan mengejar pangkat dengan cara tidak beretika.

Kata seorang ahli akademik di Kampus Kesihatan USM, "bahangnya  telah menjangkau diuniversiti-universiti tempatan di Malaysia."

Diskripsi Buku seperti yang terdapat di lama Amazon.com

Publication Date: August 14, 2007

America's great research universities are the envy of the world—and none more so than Harvard. 

 

Never before has the competition for excellence been fiercer. But while striving to be unsurpassed in the quality of its faculty and students, Universities have forgotten that the fundamental purpose of undergraduate education is to turn young people into adults who will take responsibility for society. 

 

In Excellence Without a Soul, Harry Lewis, a Harvard professor for more than thirty years and Dean of Harvard College for eight, draws from his experience to explain how our great universities have abandoned their mission. Harvard is unique; it is the richest, oldest, most powerful university in America, and so it has set many standards, for better or worse. 

 

Lewis evaluates the failures of this grand institution—from the hot button issue of grade inflation to the recent controversy over Harvard's handling of date rape cases—and makes an impassioned argument for change. The loss of purpose in America's great colleges is not inconsequential. Harvard, Yale, Stanford—these places drive American education, on which so much of our future depends. It is time to ask whether they are doing the job we want them to do.

The Minister says use Facebook in varsities

Social networking sites such as Facebook have become an integral tool in institutions of higher learning.

KUALA LUMPUR: Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Khaled Nordin has welcomed the trend of institutions of higher learning using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter for educational purposes. 

I believe that higher education should grow along with the latest developments in information technology in order to stay current with students. Social networks get the message across effectively and that is what matters most. Students usually respond faster to Facebook threads when compared with university portals. Hence, it is a good move."

Khaled said institutions of higher learning  should look into using more interactive teaching methods, adding that communicating via social networks was a good start.

Universiti Sains Malaysia Associate Professor Mohd Kamarul Kabilan said the use of social media for educational purposes inculcated a more positive attitude towards learning.

He said his research  showed that 67.9 per cent of the students  interviewed said  they had gained confidence when communicating with their classmates as well as   their lecturers.

Kamarul said the question of whether the tool was useful or not depended on the lecturers and   students.

"Facebook's features such as the 'wall',  'notes'  and  'video uploads'  can be used for learning in the form of exchanging and sharing of ideas, thinking critically and encouraging collaboration."

International Islamic University Malaysia macroeconomics lecturer Riasat Amin said communicating with his students through the Internet had  a profound impact on the dynamics of his classroom.

"Social networks have definitely helped bridge the gap we had with my students. We connect better in class now."

Riasat explained that online platforms had made the teaching and learning process more interactive as students who were too shy to raise questions during class could express themselves online.

A survey conducted by Taylor's School of Communication found that students tend to respond better through Facebook compared with university online portals.

"When they use student portals, they feel like it is work.

"But communication through social media is a more relaxed process," said Taylor's Communication and Media Management programme director Catherine Lee Cheng Kiat.

She said 99 per cent of her students had Facebook accounts, hence the possibility of students being left out of online discussions was rare.

Students, in turn, have responded positively to this new method spearheaded by their lecturers.

Communications student Hoh May Kay, 22, said social networks had made it more convenient for her to follow course announcements and assignment updates.

She said she preferred chatting with her lecturers through Facebook as she could get an immediate response from them.

Mechanical engineering student Mohd Akram Mohd Yusof, 21, said social media could become an important tool for teachers to reach out to unresponsive students.

"We spend half our time on the Internet and by engaging students here, lecturers get to reach out to those who are beyond the barrier." By Nicholas Cheng and Kanyakumari Damodaran
