The doctoral advisor is said to be one of the most important persons—if not the single most critical person—with whom doctoral students will develop a relationship during their doctoral degree programs
(Baird 1995). However, we have limited knowledge regarding how doctoral advisors see their roles and responsibilities as advisors. Therefore,
through in-depth interviews, we explored the perceptions of 25 exemplary doctoral advisors, who have graduated a large number
of doctoral students, about their roles and responsibilities as advisors. We conclude this article with implications for doctoral
education.

The major growth of doctoral education in recent decades has attracted attention from policy makers and researchers. In this
article we explore the growth of doctoral education in Australia, its impact on diversity in respect of the doctoral population,
shifts in disciplinary strengths, institutional concentration and award programs. We conclude that there has been both change
and continuity in the provision of doctoral education with extensive variation at the level of practice in what is a reasonably
stable system featuring continuing hierarchical institutional diversification. The limitations of available data and issues
for further research, policy and practice are discussed.

This article provides a characterization of the internationalization of “global” European universities and discusses the role
of the State in promoting greater internationalization and competitiveness levels of prominent national universities. The
analysis supports previous arguments stating that global ranking of universities is strongly based on research, but reveals
that the internationalization of research universities’ student population is also arranged to enhance research capacity.
This finding is further reinforced by a positive association between the internationalization of the academic staff and the
internationalization of the student population in one of those universities, being this association particularly strong with
the doctoral student population. Finally, based on the analysis of two prominent national universities with different global
competitiveness levels, we discuss the role of the State as a central supporter of these universities internationalization
and global competitiveness arguing that public funding and support is critical if countries want to have national prominent
universities competing at global level.

Faculty and student engagement in the Argentine grassroots rebellion: toward a democratic and emancipatory vision of the university 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Following Argentina’s economic collapse of December 2001, the authors examine the engagement of university faculty and students
in various grassroots movements. Based on a qualitative study involving 24 formal structured interviews, 18 informal interviews,
observation-based field work, and document analysis, the authors identify key forms of faculty and student engagement as well
as the manner in which individuals discussed the relationship between universities and society. Findings are used to advance
the idea of a more democratic and emancipatory vision of the contemporary university and build on the work of Boaventura de
Sousa Santos. Throughout the article, the authors ground their discussion in international/comparative literature addressing
globalization, neoliberalism, university reform, and social movements.

What do Doctoral Students Value in their Ideal Mentor? 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The purpose of this study was to contribute to the construct validity of the scores from Rose’s (2003) 34-item Ideal Mentor Scale (IMS) and to examine whether male and female doctoral students value different attributes in their ideal mentor. Two hundred and
twenty-four doctoral students from colleges (Education, Public Health, Nursing, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, and Business)
throughout a large state research university participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis of the IMS revealed that the fit of the three-factor model (Integrity, Guidance, and Relationship) was not satisfactory. A major source
of misfit involved covariances between errors of similarly worded items. Gender comparisons of the three subscales and individual
items on the IMS indicated that male and female doctoral students were more alike than different regarding qualities they desire in their
ideal mentor. The largest difference was observed on the item Believe in me (Integrity subscale) with female doctoral students rating this as more important than male students. The potential of the
Ideal Mentor Scale for stimulating conversations about mentoring and clarifying expectations of students and faculty is discussed.

Troubleshooting skills are integral for the Information Technology professional. In order to address faculty concerns that
students were not effectively learning required troubleshooting skills, a standardized troubleshooting methodology (the DECSAR
Method) was created and integrated into the standard curriculum of a college information technology program. Components of
troubleshooting were measured using a pre-/post-testing approach with the Social Problem Solving Inventory—Revised. Testing
indicated improvement in several areas of troubleshooting reinforced by DECSAR. The context in which the troubleshooting methodology
was applied was associated with post-test change.

It is a widely accepted maxim that, like business generally, higher education is globalising. For many countries, higher education
is now an important export sector, with university campuses attracting international students from around the world. Licensing
production, in the form of franchising degree provision to international partners, is beginning to mutate into foreign direct
investment as many universities set up campuses in other countries. While there are clearly parallels between the globalisation
of business and higher education, this paper examines the supply- and demand-side drivers within the university sector. It
argues that an alignment of special factors, rather than an inexorable trend towards commercialisation, has caused the recent
internationalisation of higher education and concludes that current trends are unsustainable in the medium-term.

Small programs can make a big difference on college campuses. At Duke University, a few dedicated people, with the support
of college administrators, exploited the all-too-evident liabilities of curriculum fragmentation, political correctness, and
the lack of direction felt by undergraduate students to create intellectually valuable and stimulating new offerings. Russell
Nieli tells how the Gerst and Focus programs have influenced that university and others across America.

A representative sample of undergraduate and postgraduate international students at a large Australian university (n=979, 64% females) completed a mail-back survey of their health and wellbeing. Most students evaluated their current and previous
physical and mental health positively. Health-related risk practices such as unprotected sexual activity, drug use, smoking
and gambling, were reported by few students. There was little change in health or risk behaviours since coming to Australia
and few changes that were health compromising. Few demographic or situational variables, including age and gender, had a significant
impact on students' wellbeing. This study has revealed that few international students find the experience of studying in
an overseas country detrimental to their wellbeing. Nevertheless, for those students who encounter difficulties or are at
increased risk of health-compromising outcomes, we must ensure better delivery of health promotion education, and access to,
and use of, available counselling and health services.

The influence of personal networks and social support on study attainment of students in university education 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
In this paper, the influence of personal networks and social support on study attainment of students in university education
is examined. Furthermore, the paper aimed at clarifying the possible mediating role of achievement motivation, time spent
on studying and working, procrastination and self-esteem. The study is a follow-up of the ’89 cohort study, but is restricted
to those students who have transferred to university education after finishing secondary education. The students have been
approached with a questionnaire in 2004. Multinomial logistic regression shows that social support has no effect on study
attainment, but that personal networks do have an effect on attainment. The relationship between social support and personal
networks on the one hand and study progress on the other hand is not mediated by the before mentioned variables.

In this article, we concentrate upon the lifeworld resources that comprise the funds of knowledge for children living in a
rural community in the southeastern United States. Through interview conversations with a group of third grade children, we
identified three lifeworld resources—interdependence, garbage dumping, and feral dogs—that rural teachers might draw on to
generate curriculum that is connected to the community in which they teach. Through such connections rural teachers may increase
the likelihood that they will remain teaching in rural schools.

Bringing the Classroom to the Web: Effects of Using New Technologies to Capture and Deliver Lectures
Technology expands instructional options for faculty, and this study examines the differential learning effects of offering
a lecture on physics to students in a traditional classroom versus internet video formats. Based on an experiment conducted
in a natural educational context, results indicate enhanced transfer of lecture information in the video formats relative
to the live condition, with students also responding more positively to personalized video presentation.

A lack of congruency between the teaching and learning of science and the student’s personal worlds has long been recognised
by the international science education community as an issue deserving space in the research agenda. The purpose of this study
was to explore the diversity of student reactions when subcultures such as family, community peers, and personal worldviews
are considered along side the subculture of school science. Two-hundred and fifty students from urban and provincial schools
in the northeastern region of Colombia (South America) participated. From this group, 18 students were interviewed. It was
observed that students adopt a compartmentalisation of knowledge that is evident as both an avoiding strategy in the classroom
and as a mechanism to differentiate between the natural world of their everyday situations and the one portrayed by a Westernised
science instruction in the classroom. The findings reflect how multiple worldviews correlate with student frameworks as implanted
by school science.

Dr. Sreyashi Jhumki Basu was a scholar committed to equity and social justice in science education who passed away in December
2008. In this essay, I describe Jhumki’s research and the call to action her life’s work has laid out for the science education
community. In particular, I draw attention to the role of critical science agency in learning and the democratic science pedagogy
model that Jhumki developed to support students in crafting such agency.

Since many teachers and students recognize other kinds of knowledge (faith) based on other ways of knowing, consideration
of these realities is appropriate for the science education community. Understanding the multitude of ways that clergy view
relationships between science and faith (i.e. alternative ways of knowing) would assist in understanding various ways that
people address complex issues arising from ideas about science and faith. We administered a questionnaire composed of multiple-choice
and short answer items to 63 United Methodist ministers. Findings included (1) that formal, organized faith contexts (e.g.
church services) serve as informal science education opportunities, (2) participants demonstrated considerable diversity regarding
the types of relationships developed between science and faith, and (3) participants recognized a need exists for better understandings
of science and its relationship to faith for them, their colleagues, and their congregations.

In the mathematics education literature, there is currently a debate about the mechanisms by which group discussion can contribute
to mathematical learning and under what conditions this learning is likely to occur. In this paper, we contribute to this
debate by illustrating three learning opportunities that group discussions can create. In analyzing a videotaped episode of
eight middle school students discussing a statistical problem, we observed that these students frequently challenged the arguments
that their colleagues presented. These challenges invited students to be explicit about what mathematical principles, or warrants,
they were implicitly using as a basis for their mathematical claims, in some cases recognize the modes of reasoning they were
using were invalid and reject these modes of reasoning, and in other cases, attempt to provide deductive support to justify
why their modes of reasoning were appropriate. We then describe what social and environmental conditions allowed the discussion
analyzed in this paper to occur.

Increasing numbers of Spanish-speaking preschool children require attention to improve the likelihood of success in school.
This study, part of a larger 2-year ethnographic study of a Head Start classroom, elaborates the role of teachers’ interactions
with students who were learning English. Using an interactional ethnography approach, the authors focus on the social nature
of these interactions. The study illuminates the kinds of teacher interactions with students that support and hinder the students’
language learning. It reinforces the importance of student engagement in social interactions with teachers and with English
other than codes of obedience and authority. Finally, it recommends actions teachers can take to provide optimal circumstances
for English learning interactions for students.

Ideological differences in a writing class evoke the passion of political sensitivities. A graduate student tells of “coming
out” as a pro-life advocate in an essay before his feminist classmates and professor. The exchange created instant and irreconcilable
enemies, but he also found some unexpected support from a hesitant voice within that classroom.
