9. The Place of 'Zertifikat Deutsch als Fremdsprache' in the German Curriculum. A Report of a Survey.

Author

Schneider, Gerd K.

Abstract

The "Zertifikat Deutsch als Fremdsprache," an examination developed by the Adult Education Centers in West Germany and the Goethe Institute to measure a student's proficiency in German as a foreign language, consists of two main parts, group testing and individual testing. The group testing section covers listening and reading comprehension, structural grammar and vocabulary, and written expression. The individual section covers communication in an everyday situation and a guided conversation. This survey covered almost all colleges and universities using the examination and sought information on: the number of students who had taken the test within the previous three years, the textbooks used in language courses, the bearing of the examination on students' decisions to continue in and/or major in German, and ways in which the test could be improved. Analysis of the responses revealed that: (1) the test is useful; (2) it serves as a more accurate measure of students' abilities than course grades; (3) some guidance is needed as to the appropriate time in the course for students to take the examination; (4) results should be on students' transcripts; (5) students should not be charged the $10.00 fee; and (6) the Goethe House and Institutes should train more test administrators.

Abstract

Using a panel of west German states ( ) for the period 1985 to 2002 we analyse potential effects of demographic change and political constellations on higher education spending, as suggested by recent literature on the political economy of the determination of public expenditures. We find empirical evidence for the hypothesis of a negative relationship between demographic aging and higher spending on public education. In contrast to the hypothesis of the classical partisan theory that implies higher public expenditures under leftist parties, we find that governments under conservative parties or a coalition between social democrats and conservatives spend more on public higher education than governments run by the social-democratic party alone.

20. Studiengebühren und Hochschulzugang: Vorbild USA?

Author

Hartmann, Michael

Subjects
HIGHER education, TUITION, PROFESSIONAL fees, SOCIAL status, STUDENTS, UNIVERSITIES & colleges
Abstract

In Germany, the supporters of tuition and fees refer to the USA as a model. There, in spite of high tuition and fees, much more children from families with a low socio-economic status, so it is said, can study than in Germany. The article demonstrates that this is only half of the truth. Most of the US-students with a low socio-economic background attend 2-years-colleges or colleges with a level of education considerably below the German level of university education. At the 150 highly selective universities and colleges which are comparable with the German universities, especially at the private elite universities, the social selectivity is much more severe. Only 10 percent of the students come from the lower half of the population. For the most part, the high tuition and fees are responsible for this. Therefore, the US higher education system is not the right model for university financing in Germany. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
