University faculty are expected to engage in teaching, research and service to their university and profession. The proportions of these activities vary by institution and discipline, but all faculty work within some combination of these three areas. It should be noted that during a faculty member's career, he or she may work almost entirely as a researcher for a certain period of time, especially if sponsored by a provincial or federal funding program, but will then often return to a focus on teaching once the research project is completed. An example of this would be a large research project funded by one of the three federal granting councils (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council [NSERC], Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council [SSHRC] or Canadian Institutes of Health Research [CIHR]). Faculty generally learn how to do research in their respective fields of study through their graduate - and in some cases post-doctoral - programs. They learn how to serve the academic community on-the-job, however, and most also learn how to teach on-the-job. Very few university faculty ever go to teachers' colleges or their equivalent, as is required for most K-12 teachers. Some take teaching courses and programs as part of their graduate experience.

Postsecondary educational attainment is important for both the individual and society. A dilemma postsecondary educational institutions and provincial governments often face is how best to price the cost of attending a postsecondary educational institution. On the one hand, it has generally been shown that students with a postsecondary education earn more than those with no postsecondary education. But, on the other hand, it is believed that economic growth hinges on having a well educated society. The former argument leads one to argue for the student paying for tuition while the latter argues for subsidized tuition.

Selon des études empiriques récentes, il y aurait un lien entre les compétences émotionnelles et sociales (c'est-à-dire l'intelligence émotionnelle) et la réussite et la persévérance scolaires (Downey, Mountstephen, Lloyd, Hansen et Stough, 2008; Parker et al., 2004; Parker, Summerfeldt, Hogan et Majeski, 2004). Il existe également des preuves scientifiques indiquant qu'il est possible d'améliorer les compétences émotionnelles et sociales par des interventions (Bar-On, 2000; Domitrovich, Cortes et Greenberg, 2007; Elias et Clabby, 1992; Greenberg, Kusche, Cook et Quamma, 1995; Low et Nelson, 2006; Nelis, Quoidbach, Mikolajczak et Hansenne, 2009). La présente étude visait à modifier un cours de premier semestre, Technology Career Essentials, afin d'inclure des éléments ayant pour objet d'améliorer les compétences émotionnelles et sociales des étudiantes et étudiants qui en sont au premier semestre de leur programme d'études. On a ensuite évalué à quel point le cours modifié par l'ajout du volet sur l'intelligence émotionnelle avait été efficace pour améliorer les niveaux d'intelligence émotionnelle des étudiantes et étudiants, en comparant les niveaux de compétences émotionnelles et sociales du groupe ayant suivi ce cours aux niveaux atteints dans le groupe n'ayant pas suivi le cours ainsi modifié. Les résultats ont démontré que les étudiantes et étudiants qui avaient suivi le cours modifié avaient un niveau plus élevé de conscience psychologique (c'est-à-dire la conscience de soi) que ceux qui n'avaient pas suivi ce cours.

The Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) commissioned a study to help the provincial government determine the best way to collect data on Aboriginal PSE students. Canada's Aboriginal peoples are historically under-represented in PSE, although the population is proportionately younger and growing at a faster rate than the non-Aboriginal population. Augmenting existing methods of data collection, such as the province's Multi-Year Accountability Agreement reports, the study suggests additional approaches and offers some cautionary notes on how data are collected and used. Conducted by the Canadian Council on Learning, this resource was based on a literature review, an analysis of current practices in Ontario and elsewhere, and an on-line survey of relevant staff at Ontario colleges and universities.

La nécessité d'assurer la compétitivité d'une nation dans l'économie du savoir fait en sorte que les systèmes d'éducation supérieure reçoivent de plus en plus d'attention. Pour maintenir ou former une main-d'oeuvre hautement qualifiée, les gouvernements doivent s'assurer que les élèves ont accès à l'éducation supérieure. Les personnes qui sont en charge des établissements d'enseignement postsecondaire doivent s'assurer que les curriculums offerts dans différents programmes d'études fournissent aux étudiantes et aux étudiants les possibilités de renforcer et de parfaire les connaissances et les compétences dont ils ont besoin pour réussir sur le marché du travail d'aujourd'hui et celui de demain. Compte tenu de la mondialisation des marchés du travail, les gouvernements doivent également s'assurer que, par l'entremise de l'évaluation des étudiantes et des étudiants, ils peuvent reconnaître de façon appropriée les acquis de leurs effectifs étudiants, et en rendre compte avec précision, dans des documents qui décrivent en termes généralement acceptés les compétences des personnes diplômées. La détermination, l'évaluation et la désignation des qualifications assurent la transparence du titre de compétence pour les diplômés, leur établissement d'enseignement et leurs futurs employeurs nationaux et internationaux.
