Measuring the Diversity Inclusivity of College Courses     

Thomas F. Nelson Laird 《Research in higher education》2011,52(6):572-588

Most studies of curricular diversity have focused on the effects of participation in diversity courses on student outcomes. Though the results have been positive, these studies have used limited measures of curricular diversity and there is a great need for a complimentary body of research demonstrating what faculty and what types of courses are more likely to include diversity. This study relies on 12 diversity inclusivity items derived from a comprehensive model of how diversity is included into a course to investigate how much diversity is being included in collegiate courses and what predicts diversity inclusivity, as measured by two scales: diverse grounding and inclusive learning. The results, based on 7,101 responses from faculty participating in the 2007 Faculty Survey of Student Engagement, suggest that most faculty are including diversity in their courses in some way, but that women and faculty of color tend to include diversity to a greater extent than their colleagues. Also, courses taught in the soft fields are more likely to be inclusive of diversity.  相似文献

Engaging Undergraduates in Science Research: Not Just About Faculty Willingness     

Eagan MK  Sharkness J  Hurtado S  Mosqueda CM  Chang MJ 《Research in higher education》2011,52(2):151-177

Despite the many benefits of involving undergraduates in research and the growing number of undergraduate research programs, few scholars have investigated the factors that affect faculty members’ decisions to involve undergraduates in their research projects. We investigated the individual factors and institutional contexts that predict faculty members’ likelihood of engaging undergraduates in their research project(s). Using data from the Higher Education Research Institute’s 2007–2008 Faculty Survey, we employ hierarchical generalized linear modeling to analyze data from 4,832 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty across 194 institutions to examine how organizational citizenship behavior theory and social exchange theory relate to mentoring students in research. Key findings show that faculty who work in the life sciences and those who receive government funding for their research are more likely to involve undergraduates in their research project(s). In addition, faculty at liberal arts or historically Black colleges are significantly more likely to involve undergraduate students in research. Implications for advancing undergraduate research opportunities are discussed.  相似文献   

Acting White: A Critical Review     

Kitae Sohn 《The Urban Review》2011,43(2):217-234

The hypothesis of acting White has been heatedly debated and influential over the last 20 years or so in explaining the Black–White test score gap. Recently, economists have joined the debate and started providing new theoretical and empirical analyses of the phenomenon. This paper critically reviews the arguments that have been advanced to support and refute the hypothesis. This review particularly covers the analyses in economics because the economic analyses are relatively new and usually neglected in other disciplines. Also, nationally representative data are emphasized, whenever possible, to improve the generalizability of the arguments. This review concludes that although the analyses in both non-economics and economics are thought-provoking and compelling in some respect, a substantial body of empirical evidence is inconsistent with the assumptions of and results from the analyses.  相似文献

写作:作者与写作对象及阅读者的话语交流     

常品 《佳木斯教育学院学报》2011,(6):133-134

写作的过程也是一种对话的过程。写作因话语交流而实现了价值的最大化。"话语交流式"作文的本质就在于促使写作者与写作对象、阅读者建立相互依赖、相互作用的主客体结构,努力唤醒写作者的主体意识,使写作者在双向或多向的沟通交流中,能真实、自由、个性化地表达,以提高驾驭语言的能力,促进写作智能的发展,达到"自能"作文的境界。本文试从"话语交流式"作文的具体内涵、现实意义及实施的策略方面分述之。  相似文献   

内蒙古新时期风情性草原题材绘画探析     

常存文 《内蒙古师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2011,40(5):79-82

内蒙古新时期草原题材绘画不同于20世纪五六十年代的主题性绘画,主要表现为风情性。一大批优秀的画家创作出了享誉国内外的优秀作品。他们以现实主义为主要创作方式,不断探索新的表现形式和绘画语言,对草原风情及其背后的深层民族文化精神进行挖掘,体现出从民族风情到民族精神的渐趋深化的历程。  相似文献   

英语否定转移的表达方式及其汉译     

宋畅 《黑龙江教育学院学报》2011,(11):145-147

否定转移是指位置上与一个词或短语放在一起的否定词,有时在意义上或逻辑上可转移到去否定另一个词或短语。通过总结英语否定转移的四种表达方式,即从一般否定转移到特指否定;从特指否定转移到一般否定;从一种特指否定转移到另一种特指否定;从否定主句谓语动词转移到否定从句谓语动词,来探讨其在汉语中的翻译,以期进一步提高翻译的准确性。  相似文献   

Ranking scientific articles based on bibliometric networks with a weighting scheme     

Yu Zhang  Min Wang  Florian Gottwalt  Morteza Saberi  Elizabeth Chang 《Journal of Informetrics》2019,13(2):616-634

As the volume of scientific articles has grown rapidly over the last decades, evaluating their impact becomes critical for tracing valuable and significant research output. Many studies have proposed various ranking methods to estimate the prestige of academic papers using bibliometric methods. However, the weight of the links in bibliometric networks has been rarely considered for article ranking in existing literature. Such incomplete investigation in bibliometric methods could lead to biased ranking results. Therefore, a novel scientific article ranking algorithm, W-Rank, is introduced in this study proposing a weighting scheme. The scheme assigns weight to the links of citation network and authorship network by measuring citation relevance and author contribution. Combining the weighted bibliometric networks and a propagation algorithm, W-Rank is able to obtain article ranking results that are more reasonable than existing PageRank-based methods. Experiments are conducted on both arXiv hep-th and Microsoft Academic Graph datasets to verify the W-Rank and compare it with three renowned article ranking algorithms. Experimental results prove that the proposed weighting scheme assists the W-Rank in obtaining ranking results of higher accuracy and, in certain perspectives, outperforming the other algorithms.  相似文献
