Timely completion of university degree programmes is a topic of growing concern to higher education institutions and their students. This paper reports on a study about the impact of degree programme characteristics and student motivation on study progress. The setting for the study is a Dutch law school. Data on degree programme characteristics, student ability, motivation, academic performance and academic pressure were collected from 168 first-year students six months after the start of their studies. Analysis of the effects of degree programme characteristics and students' initial motivation on study progress shows that study progress mainly depends on ability, timely completion goals and transparency of assessments. The study also shows that transparency of assessment procedures considerably lowers fear of failure and academic pressure.  相似文献

Multimedia Cases in Elementary Science Teacher Education: Design and Development of a Prototype   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Ellen van den Berg  Irene Visscher-Voerman 《Education and Information Technologies》2000,5(2):119-132

Multimedia cases intend to bring about fundamental changes in teacher education by bridging the gap between theory and practice. The use of information and communication technology in multimedia cases is expected to create a powerful and flexible learning environment. Such a learning environment is in line with a constructivist vision of teaching and learning. This paper focuses on the rationale behind case-based instruction by describing the design and development of a prototype and addressing the justification of underlying design decisions. Moreover, the prototype is briefly outlined and formative evaluation results are presented.  相似文献   

New Faculty Roles in Learning Outcomes Education: The Experiences of Four Models and Institutions     

Elizabeth A. McDaniel  B. Dell Felder  Linda Gordon  Mary Ellen Hrutka  Stephanie Quinn 《Innovative Higher Education》2000,25(2):143-157

Innovative models that focus on learning outcomes engage faculty in new ways of facilitating and assessing learning, while their institutions seek to support and reward their participation. Innovators from four different institutions provide an overview of their approaches to implementing principles of outcomes-based education, compare their models, and explore the changes that are precipitated in the roles, rewards, resources, structures, and models. While the four institutions and models differ on several significant variables, the innovators identify common key elements and issues that the academy must address in order to transform the educational experience and culture to a more learning-centered enterprise.  相似文献   

Language and culture: Critical components of multicultural teacher education     

Ellen Riojas Clark  Nancy Johnson Nystrom  Bertha Pérez 《The Urban Review》1996,28(2):185-197

This article identifies components of a course on multiculturalism in teacher education. The course proposes four stages of awareness: ethnic identity exploration; development of knowledge in language and literacy acquisition; refinement of a repertoire for cultural ways of teaching and learning; and selection of a teaching style. A variety of readings and activities for teacher education are proposed.  相似文献

Rummaging through dustbooks: An analysis of independent small presses     

Ellen Altman  Allan Pratt 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1988,3(4):3-17

Conclusion Small presses are a colorful and wildly variegated lot. They offer materials on every imaginable topic to suit almost any taste and are springing up in towns and hamlets all over the country. New presses are being founded at a furious rate, though their ability to survive is as yet unknown. Clearly, many presses exist for other than purely commercial reasons. Our analysis suggests that only about a sixth of the 1700-odd publishers for which we have data are serious commercial enterprises; well over half, perhaps as many as two-thirds of them, exist for other reasons—personal interests, hobbies, or special causes.  相似文献
