Educators all over the world are trying to revise and/or build their teacher education programmes to ensure pre-service teachers working on their teaching credentials are competent and ready to manage classrooms from day one. This study surveyed 179 faculty from 30 colleges and universities in Saudi Arabia to find out the extent to which they agreed that their coursework included various skills and knowledge sets leading to competent teachers. Teacher education programmes offering special education teacher preparation programmes at undergraduate level strive to base their curriculum on standards recommended by Council for Exceptional Children. The results showed a moderately strong agreement on most items under the various competency areas. Academic ranks of faculty did not have any significant effect on the extent of agreement. However, faculty from newer programmes, and those with degrees obtained in Saudi Arabia showed a better agreement. This article discusses findings, implications for the special education teacher preparation programmes in Saudi universities, and recommendations for future research. 相似文献

This paper describes the recent history of distance higher education in Saudi Arabia with particular reference to the education of women. It compares the contribution to external study for women of the General Presidency of Girls' Education (GPGE) with the introduction of intisab (a system which allows individuals to pursue higher education without attending lectures) in three universities founded for men. It records the growing numbers of women wishing to enter higher education and the withdrawal of intisab from two universities in Riyadh. It identifies the limitations placed on women's higher education as compared with men's and notes the generally conservative attitudes to the role of women found in Saudi Arabia. It oudines discussions over the last 15 years, concerning an Arab open university, which have yet to result in action. Finally, it reports a recent survey which reveals strong support for an open university for women in Saudi Arabia. Such an institution would gready increase access for women to higher education while, at the same time, be compatible with Islamic custom concerning the segregation of the sexes and a woman's primary role as wife and mother. 相似文献

Scholars disagree about the manner and extent of environmental structuring of university activities. This study supports arguments
that the environment highly structures the relationships between faculty and the academic products of undergraduate instruction,
graduate instruction, and research. Multiple correlation coefficients exceeded 90 percent for regressions of faculty size
on counts of undergraduate and graduate enrollments and published articles for all universities classified as Research I or
II or Doctoral I or II, demonstrating how constrained is doctoral faculty gross productivity in doctoral universities in the
United States. Possible institutional and technical constraints are discussed. The regressions reveal economies of scale and
economies of scope for some mixes of faculty academic activities, but not for others. Implications on productivity are explored
for university type, control, and science emphasis. A typology for productivity studies is also outlined. 相似文献

The focus of this study is on student perceptions in a Saudi Arabian university. Data are presented that indicate that the university studied has major functional limitations. Most students have little academic orientation; college education is viewed as a means to rapid prosperity. They also lack adequate scholastic preparation and hold negative perceptions of faculty and administration, generally viewing the former as corrupt and the latter as insensitive to their needs. Reference is made to cultural constraints on college education and to the unprofessional treatment of expatriate faculty by the university administration. 相似文献

沙特王国是中东和伊斯兰国家教育的代表,具有研究的典型性和重要的学术研究价值。以沙特王国的教育为研究对象,将其置于福利政治的视野下,采用政治学、历史学和教育学交叉研究的方法审视沙特王国的福利性教育得失。沙特王国的福利性教育具有鲜明的政治色彩,是沙特政府推行福利政治的重要组成部分,而其教育的政治倾向一定程度上导致了教育发展的不均衡和不平等。近年来沙特政府实行了一系列教育改革,这些改革一定程度上体现了去福利化、公平化以及市场导向的倾向,然而鉴于福利性教育的政治意义,王国的教育改革很难有质的突破。 相似文献

This study examines the influence of English language usage and international media on the strength of either national or global identity. The regression analysis of 354 responses reveals that individuals who studied at universities that use English as a medium of instruction show significant differences in the extent to which they embrace a global identity. Viewing local (Kuwaiti) television programmes and the use of the Internet predict national identity. This study discusses the social entities that are important factors in mitigating the influence of globalisation on national identity. It concludes that the argument that globalisation and Westernisation are two faces of the same coin is overstated. 相似文献

At first glance, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s current multi-billion dollar investment in its social sector, especially in
setting up new schools and universities, seems to have as its primary aim the preparation of the Kingdom for a future that
is not dependent on its oil resources which are predicted to run out in less than a 100 years. However, there is another consideration
that warrants examination in the current context. KSA is also positioning itself to assume a dominant role firstly among the
Gulf countries, secondly in the Arabic world and thirdly globally. The two ambitions are obviously intertwined but are likely
to have distinct impacts on the international academy. To this end, the Higher education sector has seen unprecedented growth
both in student numbers and infrastructure due to the expenditure of massive amounts of money. More than 13 billion dollars
is pumped into education and of this Higher Education receives more than two billion annually. However, because the main concern
for KSA’s Higher Education development is to maintain its Arabian base whilst striving to become internationally relevant,
the funds are applied in a centrally controlled manner that aims to balance the two ambitions. In practice, the gender-based
segregation is one issue that continues to be an unresolved and contested complication. This paper argues that ultimately
international competitiveness is likely to be impact significantly and possibly irrevocably on Saudi cultural traditions and
religion norms. 相似文献

Over a decade ago, Barr and Tagg (Change Mag 27(6):12–25, 1995) declared that a shift had occurred in higher education from an instruction paradigm to a learning paradigm. A central element
in this new paradigm is learner-centered assessment. While a growing body of literature suggests that this approach to assessment
is a best practice in higher education pedagogy, it is still unclear whether faculty members have embraced it fully. Using
data from the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty, this study examines the extent to which faculty members employed learner-centered assessments in postsecondary classrooms
at two points in time, 1993 and 2004. Findings show similar to higher rates of use for some assessment techniques in 2004
compared to reports from 1993, as well as differences by faculty gender, age, discipline, and institution type. Implications
for faculty members, student learning, and institutional policy are discussed. 相似文献

美国高校教师薪酬外部竞争力分析及启示 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
赖亚曼 《清华大学教育研究》2008,29(6)
高校教师是高等教育发展的关键。在知识经济时代,高校教师的收入水平是吸引和留住人才的关键因素之一。美国高校以签约体系为主要薪资制类型,这为美国高校挑选到高质量的人才提供了制度上的保障。同时,在与美国中等收入家庭、中小学教师的收入比较中可以看到,美国高校教师薪酬具有很强的外部竞争性。尽管在一些高学历领域中,美国高校教师平均薪酬只相当于高校外同行的70%,但近年来,对高市场要求的学科,美国高校采取政策倾斜的方式,最大程度上保障了招募高质量教师的外部人力资源环境。这些都能为我国高校目前的薪酬改革提供参考。 相似文献

Criminal justice programs at traditional institutions of higher learning have been moving toward offering courses online and, in some cases, placing entire programs online for the better part of the past decade. In competition with for‐profit institutions, many traditional colleges and universities have expanded their distance education programming to include online courses and programs to attract students. As a result, the number of criminal justice students has increased, as have the profits for home institutions. With this growth in the online education market, the criminal justice faculty member has been thrust, willingly or unwillingly, into the world of online teaching—a method of instruction foreign to many instructors. From the authors’ experience at their current (and in the case of the lead author a second) institution, this paper addresses many issues that must be considered by faculty members before embarking on this type of time‐intensive initiative. 相似文献

In France, where most higher education institutions are in the public sector, permanent academic staff at universities and other higher education institutions are tenured and enjoy a broad individual autonomy. The number of staff on short-term contracts is limited. Most part-time staff are drawn from professionals, business executives, and administrators – in both the public and private sectors. In recent decades, the number of teaching-only faculty expanded rapidly as tenured secondary school teachers were transferred to higher education institutions. As universities have acquired some autonomy, especially in academic matters, recruitment and promotion of staff combine elements of centralisation at the national level with local processes. Some degree of pay differentiation has been introduced through a growing use of supplementary compensation. As the system evolves toward increased self-governance of institutions, the autonomy enjoyed by the faculty is seen by administrators as an obstacle to the development of institutional policies. 相似文献

As the numbers of international students have grown, higher education institutions in Asia have offered a growing range of English medium instruction (EMI) degree programs. But Asian governments and higher education institutions have not thought deeply about how to ensure quality of English medium instruction degree programs. At the same time, their accreditors have not been fully aware of how to establish an external quality assurance mechanism to measure the quality of these programs. This study’s main purpose is to put the quality of the EMI degree programs of Taiwan higher education institutions into the perspective of the Taiwan’s institutions and one local Taiwan accreditor. With both qualitative and quantitative approaches, a survey targeting Taiwan’s colleges and universities and interviews of Higher Education Evaluation & Accreditation Council of Taiwan international reviewers and Asian higher education experts are used to examine the challenges of EMI implementation in Taiwan universities and the role of local accreditors playing in reviewing the English medium instruction degree programs. 相似文献

Since the corporatization of national universities, the environment surrounding Japanese universities has dramatically changed in various respects. A series of government-led attempts have intended to support the domestic colleges and universities in gaining a competitive edge by improving the quality of teaching and research as well as guaranteeing the international validity of the country's higher education system. Impacts of all the challenges that have been tackled with internal efforts in the last few years could be enormous on the personnel workload. However, little is known about the impacts of Japan's recent university education reform, particularly on the changing workload of the faculty who engage at the forefront in student teaching and advising, administrative roles as well as research activities. Using results from individual faculty interviews, this paper attempts to link the changing workload of Japanese professors with specific reasons that are rooted in the country's recent university education reform. Reviewing the effects of the reform on faculty workload provides us with important insights for the long term and guides us to prevent the derailment from the endeavour to which a significant amount of resources have been dedicated by the country. 相似文献
