Abstract
Higher education research as an area of study is quite recent and it developed first in the U.S. and only later in Europe (Amaral & Magalhães, 2007). Massification of higher education and concerns about the quality of its provision has certainly contributed to this expansion, as higher education became a major financial and political issue (Tight, 2007; Scott, 1995; Teichler, 2007; Clark, 1973).
