This article examines the relationship between the supervision of graduate students and university faculty research performance. We find that the supervision of Ph.D. students who have projects related to their supervisor's research has an independent effect on faculty members' scientific productivity in the natural and medical sciences and technology, but not in the humanities and social sciences. The relationship between the supervision of project related major subject students and the faculty members' productivity is only significant in the social sciences. These results are generally supported by data on faculty attitudes toward the supervision of graduate students. Those who supervised Ph.D. students gave a considerably more favourable assessment of the importance of supervision for their own research than those who only supervised major subject students, and the proportion of faculty members who answered that supervision of Ph.D. students was part of their own research to a great extent, was very much higher in the natural and medical sciences and technology than in the humanities and social sciences. 相似文献

Prior research has shown that students from less educated families are less likely to study both science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects and arts and humanities subjects. This article used a large representative sample of university students in England to explore the relationship between students’ enjoyment, perception of ability and socio-economic disparities in subject choices. Although these attitudes differed by students’ parents’ education level, and were associated with subject choices, disparities in choices persisted when accounting for these differences. Students with less educated parents were less likely to choose arts and humanities and more likely to study social sciences, law and business, over STEM, even when their enjoyment and perception of ability in subjects were similar. Students whose parents had higher levels of education were more likely to choose STEM over arts and humanities as their enjoyment of STEM increased, suggesting different underlying processes informing student choices by social background. 相似文献

Three UK studies on the relationship between a purpose‐built instrument to assess the importance and development of 15 ‘soft skills’ are reported. Study 1 (N = 444) identified strong latent components underlying these soft skills, such that differences between‐skills were over‐shadowed by differences between‐students. Importance and improving ratings on these skills predicted academic performance and accounted for the effects of personality on academic performance. Study 2 replicated the structure of the soft skills inventory and associations with academic performance in a larger sample (N = 1309). Examination of mean differences across faculties (humanities, life sciences, hard sciences) revealed higher soft skills ratings in ‘softer’ courses. Study 3 (N = 87) incorporated an IQ measure, which was found to be negatively related to importance ratings on soft skills. Results highlight the cohesive structure of beliefs concerning various non‐academic skills and their significant links to educationally relevant individual differences. Theoretical, methodological and applied implications are considered. 相似文献

ABSTRACT This study was designed to investigate how college students’ personality characteristics relate to their choice of instructional delivery (online or face-to-face) and whether this choice mediates the relationship between personality and academic performance. One hundred eighty-eight undergraduate students were given a choice between taking the same general education course online or face-to-face. Students completed the Big Five Inventory (BFI) upon the conclusion of this course. Using a Bayesian regression course modeling framework, we found that Conscientiousness and Agreeableness were related to the choice of instructional delivery. Students scoring higher on Conscientiousness and lower on Agreeableness tended to choose the online environment. Conscientiousness also was a direct predictor of academic achievement regardless of the course environment. These results suggest that in order to find the best fit between student and the learning environment, it is important to identify personality characteristics indicative of success in online and traditional face-to-face courses to help students to become more efficient learners and assist faculty in designing quality courses to meet students’ needs. 相似文献

高等职业教育人文社会科学发展滞后,高职学生虽有一定的“做事”能力,但远不能满足现代社会对复合型人才的要求。在“做人”能力方面的欠缺必然不利于高职学生社会适应能力和就业竞争力的提高。因此,有必要加强对高职学生进行人文社会等学科的通识教育。 相似文献

This survey study investigated the relationship between achievement goal orientation and self‐reported copying behaviour among college students (N = 2007) enrolled in five different academic programmes in Thailand. Results of statistical analysis showed several significant findings: performance approach goal orientation, performance avoidance goal orientation, academic major in humanities, gender and grade point average were the best predictors of self‐reported frequency of copying behaviour. Compared with humanities students, management, engineering, science and vocational students were significantly more performance avoidance goal oriented and reported significantly higher frequency of copying behaviour. We primarily use achievement goal theory to interpret the effect of multiple goal orientations on self‐reported copying behaviour across academic programmes. 相似文献

The purposes of this study were to validate an instrument of attitudes toward science and to investigate grade level, type of school, and gender differences in Taiwan’s students’ personality traits and attitudes toward science as well as predictors of attitudes toward science. Nine hundred and twenty‐two elementary students and 1,954 secondary students completed the School Student Questionnaire in 2008. Factor analyses, correlation analyses, ANOVAs, and regressions were used to compare the similarities and differences among male and female students in different grade levels. The findings were as follows: female students had higher interest in science and made more contributions in teams than their male counterparts across all grade levels. As students advanced through school, student scores on the personality trait scales of Conscientiousness and Openness sharply declined; students’ scores on Neuroticism dramatically increased. Elementary school and academic high school students had significantly higher total scores on interest in science than those of vocational high and junior high school students. Scores on the scales measuring the traits of Agreeableness, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness were the most significant predictors of students’ attitudes toward science. Implications of these findings for classroom instruction are discussed. 相似文献

In this paper psychometric data are presented which show that the distribution of highly able Israeli students across the various fields in the sciences is uneven. Most highly able students are attracted to the natural sciences, engineering and computer sciences. Only few are attracted to the social sciences, humanities, arts and education. Assuming that future scientific leaders will emerge from this elite group, the implications that the uneven distribution may have for predicted progress in the sciences are discussed. 相似文献

人文社会科学包括人文科学与社会科学两部分,它与自然科学在研究对象、学术性质、研究任务等方面存在着差异,因而研究方法也不尽相同。研究方法是完成研究任务的船和桥,方法创新是学术进步的阶梯。目前高校人文社会科学类硕士研究生普遍缺乏方法论自觉,加强方法论教育时不我待。高校应在所有人文社会科学类专业普遍开设方法论课程,帮助学生提高发现问题、提炼问题、鉴别问题、分析问题、解决问题的能力,使学术研究更具规范性、科学性和创新性。 相似文献

Using data from the 2008 University of California Undergraduate Experience Survey, we show that study time and academic conscientiousness
were lower among students in humanities and social science majors than among students in science and engineering majors. Analytical
and critical thinking experiences were no more evident among humanities and social sciences majors than among science and
engineering majors. All three academically beneficial experiences were, however, strongly related to participation in class
and interaction with instructors, and participation was more common among humanities and social sciences students than among
science and engineering students. Bok’s (Our underachieving colleges: A candid look at how much students learn and why they should be learning more. Princeton and Oxford: Princeton University Press, 2006) influential discussion of “underachievement’ in undergraduate education focused on institutional performance. Our findings
indicate that future discussions should take into account differences among disciplinary categories and majors as well. 相似文献

Information is presented about the organization of graduate studies, based on questionnaire responses of 582 coordinators of Canadian graduate programs. These coordinators, who were representative of disciplines and geographic regions, provided information about a wide range of matters, including enrolments, staff, admissions, supervision, research, publications, financial support, teaching experience, and completion rates and times. Many substantial differences were noted among the percentage frequencies of responses for departments classified by discipline and size. For example, students were perceived to choose their doctoral theses topics themselves much more frequently in education, social sciences, and humanities than in engineering, medical sciences, physical sciences, and biological sciences. Also, departments with smaller numbers of full-time graduate students tended to provide all doctoral students, with some teaching experience to a greater extent than did larger departments. 相似文献

A survey of 562 internal undergraduates (311 male, 251 female) at the University of New England indicated that the majority was fairly satisfied with university life. However, further analysis showed important differences in the attitudes of students in different faculties. Moreover there was some evidence that the different academic environments experienced by students in the various faculties may attract and satisfy students of different personality types. The importance of such findings for the proper understanding of students' adjustment to college life is pointed out. 相似文献

Undergraduate students have historically engaged with the humanities and social sciences through the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree programme. Recent experiences suggest that the relevance and the value of the degree to the modern world is now being challenged: populist press questions the value of the humanities to the modern knowledge economy; public funding for teaching in the social sciences and humanities in higher education has been slashed in the UK and elsewhere; humanities and social sciences schools and departments in the USA, New Zealand and Canada rationalised and restructured; BA programmes in some Australian universities closed. All seems to suggest that the sun is setting on the BA. This paper argues that, in Australia at least, these actions have been made on the basis of a flawed understanding of contemporary BA programmes. It asserts that the contemporary BA is a very different creature to that of even the recent past. The paper offers a new definition of the contemporary Australian BA degree programme developed as a result of a comparative historical analysis research study across 39 Australian institutions. It extends an argument that perhaps the time is right for a re-examination of what is meant by ‘BA’ – before we declare the degree a relic of the past. 相似文献

The article examines intergender and intragender differences in life orientations and attitudes toward work among Israeli students. Data were obtained from 428 respondents in the faculties of engineering and social sciences (psychology and social work) at four universities. Few attitudinal differences were found between the sexes. However, significant intra-gender differences were found, especially between men in gender-typical and atypical careers. In contrast to their "gender-typical" counterparts, the "gender-atypical" men emphasized more traditionally "masculine" orientations such as competitiveness, achievement, independence and control, political activity, and job success. Compared with these groups, the intra-gender differences between the "gender-typical" and "gender atypical" women were less significant. 相似文献

在厘清了人文、人文精神、人文教育和素质教育等术语基本内涵之后,我们发现,人文教育乃是素质教育的内在要求,是实现人的可持续发展与社会的可持续发展的需要;人文科学不仅是一门博大的知识体系,而且是一种精神体系和价值体系,比起自然科学体系来,人文科学知识则更容易直接“内化”为学生个体的人格品质;人文精神的弘扬有助于学生创新素质的培育;而素质教育的人文本质特征是完满人格的培养;我们还必须关注人文教育与思想道德教育的关系。 相似文献

人文科学与社会科学是人文社会科学的两个最大子学科,人文科学着重研究"人",社会科学着重研究"人的世界",因此,人文社会科学的内容具有"人与人的世界"的二元结构。中学人文课程的教学目标是:一,教育学生正确认识自我、完善自我,形成正确的人的观念,学习如何做人;二,教育学生正确认识和善处外部世界,形成正确的世界意识,学会生存和发展,学会融入社会,为社会做贡献。因此,中学人文课程的内容同样具有"人与人的世界"的二元结构。按照"人与人的世界"的二元结构,中学人文课程设置可以这样构想:中学思想政治课名称改为"人生品德"课,以人学系列(含人学、心理学、伦理学、美学、哲学等子学科)知识为其全部教学内容,而将现行《思想政治》课程中的人文世界知识剥离出去;设置"人文世界"课以替换试验区的《历史与社会》课,同时取消单科历史课与地理课,"人文世界"课的内容是全部人文世界学系列(含社会科学——社会学、历史学、经济学、法学、政治学和人文自然学——人文地理学、环境学、生态学)知识。 相似文献

This study examined the extent to which students could fake responses on personality and approaches to studying questionnaires, and the effects of such responding on the validity of non-cognitive measures for predicting academic performance (AP). University students produced a profile of an ‘ideal’ student using the Big-Five personality taxonomy, which yielded a stereotype with low scores for Neuroticism, and high scores for the other four traits. A sub-set of participants were allocated to a condition in which they were instructed to fake their responses as University applicants, portraying themselves as positively as possible. Scores for these participants revealed higher scores than those in a control condition on measures of deep and strategic approaches to studying, but lower scores on the surface approach variable. Conscientiousness was a significant predictor of AP in both groups, but the predictive effect of approaches to studying variables and Openness to Experience identified in the control group was lower in the group who faked their responses. Non-cognitive psychometric measures can be valid predictors of AP, but scores on these measures can be affected by instructional set. Further implications for psychometric measurement in educational settings are discussed. 相似文献
