Selected aspects of social space as the basis for understanding the »modernisation« of higher education

Summary/Abstract: Based on selected aspects of the social space, we establish a conceptual model for developing indicators of the »modernisation« of higher education systems. The described dynamic relates to the issue of understanding the social fluidity and sustainability of higher education systems with respect to the labour market. This can be observed on both the individual and system levels. Our conceptual model is based on learning spaces and their physical design, the transfer of learning to employers, the role of virtual space in learning, student mobility and motility and the theoretical assumptions made by Lefebvre and Foucault. In the article, we demonstrate that exploring selected socio-spatial aspects of higher education offers a vital perspective for understanding changes in higher education’s contemporary role on the national and European levels.
