FRACTAL VARIATIONS OF RESEARCH AND TEACHING IN TOP RANKING UNIVERSITIES IN ASIA AND THE WORLD

This paper shows the variations of teaching and research in the performance of the top ranking universities in Asia and the World. The researchers found out that research involves knowledge production and teaching involves knowledge transmission, and that these are discrete activities in the university. Fractal features and analysis were used in this study in additional texture parameters. Observations are seen that in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), a great emphasis is placed upon the conduct of research and thus other areas, including Teaching, may be given a lesser priority. Results revealed that research is highly correlated with teaching. Most of the faculty members focus more on research as one of the criteria in the top ranking universities.
