The latest issue of the Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung (Journal for Higher Education Development / ZFHE) was just published: Issue 16/4 (December 2021) on "Studierbarkeit und Studienerfolg – zwischen Konzepten, Analysen und Steuerungspraxis", edited by René Krempkow, Oliver Vettori and Imke Buß.

About the Issue:

Studyability and academic success have been among the most discussed topics around teaching and studying at universities in German-speaking countries since the so-called Bologna Process gained momentum. In particular, ensuring studyability is increasingly demanded in higher education policy and accreditation, whereby discussions on (factors influencing) study success are also repeatedly referred to. At the same time, there is still no consensus on concepts, analytical approaches, and appropriate control approaches. The 14 contributions in this issue are devoted to these topics. The assembled selection of submissions thus reflects the broad spectrum of submissions of conceptual as well as empirical contributions, as well as reports from practice, each of which can contribute in its own way and overall to further higher education development.

In addition to the online version, the issue will be available soon as a print publication in bookstores (see https://zfhe.at/index.php/zfhe/print).
