Effects of Transactional and Transformational Governance on Academic Teaching: Empirical evidence from two types of higher education institutions     

Wilkesmann  Uwe 《Tertiary Education and Management》2013,19(4):281-294

The article considers the importance of examining how members of university governing bodies understand and perform their roles in the politically complex context of contemporary higher education. While a growing body of scholarly literature is devoted to the study of university governance, much of this work neglects the human aspects of decision‐making in the presence of the competing interests, societal expectations and government intervention currently besetting universities. This article argues that, given this context, understanding of the factors impacting on university governing body effectiveness will be greatly enhanced by interpretive analysis of qualitative data obtained from university governance practitioners themselves.  相似文献   

The emergent curriculum: navigating a complex course between unguided learning and planned enculturation   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0  

Uwe Gellert 《课程研究杂志》2013,45(3):313-328

Although systemic reform seems to be a broadly accepted framework for educational change, concrete reform projects still face the uncertainty of how to meet the necessary requirements. This paper considers the case of a curriculum reform process in primary mathematics education that has a focus on the involvement and influence of parents. The data consists of a short address to the parents of first‐graders printed in the teacher’s version of a textbook. In this address, the parents are introduced to the new concept of active‐explorative learning and allocated a specific role within the process of change. By means of discourse analysis and the sociological ideas of exclusion/inclusion, autonomy, and expert/non‐technical discourse, the long‐term consequences of the social role assigned to parents in the programme is discussed.  相似文献

Constructive readings of interactive episodes: examining ethics in physical education from a social constructionist perspective     

Dean M. Barker  Natalie Barker-Ruchti  Uwe Pühse 《Sport, Education and Society》2013,18(4):511-526

In this paper we illustrate how ways of thinking about ethics are tied up with sport and physical education practice and introduce an alternative approach that can help to develop ethical pedagogies. We begin by locating socio-moral education in physical education within historical and contemporary pedagogical scholarship. Our argument is that the work of today's physical educators is still shaped by claims that were made about school sport in the nineteenth century and that sport scholars have long had difficulties proving these claims empirically. Rather than search for data that can confirm or refute claims of moral learning, we examine how incidents related to moral behaviour occur during physical education lessons. To do this we draw on data from an ethnographic investigation of a school in North Western Switzerland. Specifically, we present three episodes of interaction in three different physical education lessons. To make sense of these episodes, we introduce a social constructionist perspective. The main assumptions of this perspective are: (1) meanings are created through dialogue and consensus and are context-relative; (2) interactions between people are joint accomplishments; and (3) contexts affect how people interact with one another. Equipped with a constructionist framework, we then inspect the interactive episodes more closely. We include brief discussions of how constructionist understandings might inform ethics pedagogies in the future, suggesting that practitioners should be cautious of universal understandings of ethics, consider pupils as members of communities that are held together by shared practices, provide space for pupils to position themselves differently during lessons and, finally, account for contextual factors when evaluating pupils’ actions.  相似文献

‘New Public Management’ and the Academic Profession: Reflections on the German Situation     

Uwe?SchimankEmail author 《Minerva》2005,43(4):361-376

This essay considers recent implications of ‘new public management’ (NPM) strategies for the universities of Germany. It argues that NPM poses a threat to the traditional values of the academic profession, and asks what the universities should do to restore public trust in their methods and management.  相似文献   

The influence of sitting posture on mechanics and metabolic energy requirements during sit-skiing: a case report     

K. B. Hofmann  M. L. Ohlsson  M. Höök  J. Danvind  Uwe G. Kersting 《Sports Engineering》2016,19(3):213-218

Several different sitting postures are used in Paralympic cross-country sit-skiing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of sitting posture on physiological and mechanical variables during steady-state double-poling sit-skiing, as well as to determine how seat design can be improved for athletes without sufficient trunk control. Employing a novel, custom-designed seat, three trunk positions were tested while performing double-poling with submaximal oxygen consumption on an ergometer. Cycle kinematics, pole forces, and oxygen consumption were monitored. The athlete performed best, with longer cycle length and less pronounced metabolic responses, when kneeling with the trunk resting on a frontal support. For this case, a forward leaning trunk with knees below the hip joint was interpreted as most optimal, as it showed lower oxygen consumption and related parameters of performance during cross-country sit-skiing. Further investigations should examine whether such improvement is dependent on the level of the athlete’s handicap, as well as whether it is also seen on snow.  相似文献   

Matching behavior of honeybees in a multiple-choice situation: The differential effect of environmental stimuli on the choice process     

Uwe Greggers  Juliane Mauelshagen 《Learning & behavior》1997,25(4):458-472

The matching behavior of honeybees in a patch of four artificial feeders was studied under two different environmental conditions in order to examine the involvement of different stimuli in the choice process. Matching fails if all nearby landmarks are removed but can, under certain conditions, be restored by subsequently introducing odors, colors, or landmarks showing that there is no unique stimulus modality that provides matching. We propose two fundamentally different memory processes, both of which affect feeding behavior and support matching. We suggest that in one case, the probability of choice is determined by the strength of direct associations between locally perceived odor stimuli and reward rates. In the second case, simultaneously perceived color stimuli predict the relative reward rates indirectly by the spatial representation of the four feeders. Both memory processes are likely to interact and lead to efficient feeding behavior during foraging under natural conditions.  相似文献   

Systematische Lehrereffekte bei übergangsquoten auf weiterführende Schulen
Eine Analyse bildungsstatistischer Daten     

Uwe Maier 《Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft》2007,10(2):271-284

Der übergang in eine weiterführende Schule ist eine zentrale bildungsbiografische Entscheidung, die auf der Grundlage fehleranf?lliger selektionsdiagnostischer Urteile getroffen wird. Neben unsystematischen Urteilsfehlern sind unterschiedliche Leistungsanforderungen zwischen den verschiedenen Grundschullehrkr?ften einer ad?quaten übergangsdiagnostik abtr?glich. Mit einer Analyse bildungsstatistischer Daten auf Regionalebene wurde deshalb der Frage nachgegangen, welche Auswirkungen Leistungsstandards von Lehrkr?ften innerhalb einer Grundschule für das Zustandekommen von übergangsquoten haben. Für einzügige Grundschulen in stark l?ndlich gepr?gten Regionen (n=47) konnte ein systematischer Lehrereffekt bei übergangsquoten auf Hauptschulen und Gymnasien nachgewiesen werden. über Vorschl?ge zur Verbesserung der selektionsdiagnostischen Kompetenz von Lehrkr?ften sollte deshalb weiter nachgedacht werden.  相似文献
