Management education at a distance and its effects on career progression: The case of MBA in retailing and wholesaling students     

Adelina Broadbridge  Keri Davies 《Distance Education》1993,14(1):6-26

Students who register for any MBA programme anticipate that their career opportunities will be improved. When they are also practising managers, evidence shows that career changes may occur at any time during the course of their programme. Using a survey on students studying the University of Stirling's MBA in Retailing and Wholesaling by distance learning this paper was able to support this evidence as well as investigating the type and frequency of career changes being experienced by managers.  相似文献

Policies on Inequality in the Third World: dependency or autonomy?     

Lynn Davies 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》1986,7(2):191-204

Analysis of the national planning documents of selected Third World countries reveals common key issues in policies on educational inequality. Expansion, national unity, decentralisation, positive discrimination and terminal education are highlighted as recurring themes. A further focus on the dimensions of aid, training, nationalism, regionalism and finance provides a framework which can be used both to assess the degree of dependency or autonomy exhibited in equity planning and to provide a critique of over‐simplified applications of dependency theory regarding educational policy.  相似文献   

Ethics and the new materialism: a brief genealogy of the ‘post’ philosophies in the social sciences     

Bronwyn Davies 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2018,39(1):113-127

This paper explores the relation between poststructuralist theorising and new materialism with a particular focus on the work of Barad. Tracing the lines of thought, particularly as they relate to ethics, through the works of Foucault, Butler, Cixous and Deleuze the paper finds a range of concepts that anticipate and link directly with Barad’s work. Barad’s emphasis on the agency of matter, and on how matter is made to matter, is found to be new. The different analytic work that can be done with these various philosophers is explored through three intra-active entanglements; first, among preschool children and a rock, second, between a girl and a chimp raised as her twin, and third, between humans and cows.  相似文献

The first and second reading Standard Assessment Tasks at Key Stage 1: a comparison based on a five-school study     

Julie Davies  Ivy Brember  Peter Pumfrey 《Journal of Research in Reading》1995,18(1):1-9

This paper assesses the value that can be put on the reading (National Curriculum En 2) Standard Assessment Task scores as indicators of what children are achieving in reading and whether reading standards are rising. The results of a cross-sectional study of a sample of all the Year 2 children (171 in 1991; 171 in 1992) from five randomly selected primary schools within one Local Education Authority (LEA) are presented. Pupils’ scores on The Primary Reading Test (PRT) (France, 1981) and the reading Standard Assessment Task score elicited by them in the previous half term are compared. Results show an improvement in the attainment level of children in 1992 compared to those in 1991 on Standard Assessment Tasks with a higher percentage achieving Level 3 and fewer on Level 1. However, examination of the means for each year group indicates that the mean PRT score for each Standard Assessment Task level is significantly lower in 1992 than 1991. Conclusions, based on such a small study, are tentative. However, it would seem that there is a need to view apparently rising standards, as measured solely by the Standard Assessment Task results, with a degree of caution.  相似文献   

Children's insecure representations of the interparental relationship and their school adjustment: the mediating role of attention difficulties     

Davies PT  Woitach MJ  Winter MA  Cummings EM 《Child development》2008,79(5):1570-1582

This study examined the role of attention difficulties as a mediator of associations between children's insecure representations of the interparental relationship and their school adjustment in a sample of two hundred and sixteen 6-year-old children. Consistent with hypotheses, findings from structural equation models indicated that observer ratings of children's insecure representations of interparental relationships in a story completion task predicted computerized task assessments and parent reports of children's attention difficulties 1 year later. Children's attention difficulties, in turn, were associated with concurrent levels of school problems and increases in school problems over a 1-year period as indexed by teacher reports. Attention difficulties accounted for an average of 34% of the association between insecure internal representations and school problems.  相似文献   

Heart of darkness: modeling public–private funding interactions inside the R&D black box     

Paul A. David  Bronwyn H. Hall   《Research Policy》2000,29(9):419

This paper is a first step toward closing the analytical gap in the extensive literature on the results of interactions between public and private R&D expenditures, and their joint effects on the economy. A survey focusing on econometric studies in this area reveals a plethora of sometimes confusing and frequently contradictory estimates of the response of company-financed R&D to changes in the level and nature of this category of public expenditures. Yet, a theoretical framework seldom is provided within which the empirical results are to be interpreted. Some such structure is necessary, in view of the multiple channels through which public research can affect private R&D performance, especially as not all the effects flow in the same direction. A major cause of “inconsistencies” in the empirical literature is the failure to recognize key differences among the various policy “experiments” being considered — depending upon the economy in which they are embedded, and the type of public sector R&D spending that is contemplated. Using a simple, stylized structural model, we identify the main channels of impact of public R&D. We thus can characterize the various effects, distinguishing between short- and long-run impacts that would show up in simple regression analyses of nominal public and private R&D expenditure variables. Within the context of our simple model it is possible to offer interpretations that shed light on recent cross-section and panel data findings at both high (i.e., national) and low (specific technology area) levels of aggregation.  相似文献
