Providing better education services to the poor: Accountability and context in the case of Guatemalan decentralization     

Alec Ian Gershberg  Ben Meade  Sven Andersson 《International Journal of Educational Development》2009

We explore how two community-based reform models align with the World Bank’s World Development Report 2004 accountability framework. Using a qualitative case study of rural Guatemalan primary schools, we examine local governance through interviews with a range of stakeholders.  相似文献   

Understanding the prospect of success in professional training: an ethnography into the assessment of problem-based learning     

Ricardo A. Ayala  Tomas F. Koch  Helga B. Messing 《Ethnography and Education》2019,14(1):65-83

One of the most fundamental innovations in higher education is the introduction of the method known as problem-based learning (PBL). While literature has largely focused on its learning goals and the transition from lectures to tutorials, little research has problematised why this is a successful methodology and what we consider as students’ success. Drawing upon various ethnographic techniques, the authors analyse PBL as a field of expectations in light of Expectation-Value Theory. Beyond merely showing that PBL is a culturally constructed practice, the article elaborates on how students’ expectations inform practices, performance and evaluation, which is important for assessing the successfulness of the method. By discussing students’ expectations, dynamics and power relations, the present article is a contribution to the research addressing what has come to be known as the ‘black box’ of PBL.  相似文献   

A multilevel meta-analysis of studies reporting correlations between the h index and 37 different h index variants     

Lutz Bornmann  Rüdiger Mutz  Sven E. Hug  Hans-Dieter Daniel 《Journal of Informetrics》2011,5(3):346-359

This paper presents the first meta-analysis of studies that computed correlations between the h index and variants of the h index (such as the g index; in total 37 different variants) that have been proposed and discussed in the literature. A high correlation between the h index and its variants would indicate that the h index variants hardly provide added information to the h index. This meta-analysis included 135 correlation coefficients from 32 studies. The studies were based on a total sample size of N = 9005; on average, each study had a sample size of n = 257. The results of a three-level cross-classified mixed-effects meta-analysis show a high correlation between the h index and its variants: Depending on the model, the mean correlation coefficient varies between .8 and .9. This means that there is redundancy between most of the h index variants and the h index. There is a statistically significant study-to-study variation of the correlation coefficients in the information they yield. The lowest correlation coefficients with the h index are found for the h index variants MII and m index. Hence, these h index variants make a non-redundant contribution to the h index.  相似文献   

Reading,writing, and math self-concept in elementary school children: influence of dimensional comparison processes     

Jan-Henning Ehm  Sven Lindberg  Marcus Hasselhorn 《European Journal of Psychology of Education - EJPE》2014,29(2):277-294

The internal/external (I/E) frame of reference model (Marsh, Am Educ Res J 23:129–149, 1986) conceptualizes students' self-concepts as being formed by dimensional as well as social comparison processes. In the present study, the I/E model was tested and extended in a sample of elementary school children. Core academic skills of reading, writing, and math were related to corresponding and non-corresponding self-concept facets to determine the onset of dimensional contrast effects. School achievement and domain-specific academic self-concepts of 1,114 students from grades 1 to 3 were assessed. Negative paths were found for math achievement on reading self-concept and for reading achievement on math self-concept in the third grade. Math achievement was not associated negatively with writing self-concept. Positive influences were found within the verbal domain for writing achievement on reading self-concept from grade 1 onward. The results suggest a broad interpretation of the I/E model in which contrast as well as assimilation effects are possible. Factors influencing the dimensional comparison processes are discussed.  相似文献

We need integrated publishing     

Sven FUND 《Learned Publishing》2013,26(1):57-64

Scholarly publishing has seen a decade of rapid proliferation of business models and emerging technologies. Together with globalization of the publishing market and new challenges, this evolution has also led to rapid advancements in management tasks even within small publishing houses. The outcome of this change for the stakeholders, including researchers, authors, and shareholders, is unclear, and a return to a more cohesive, integrated approach is desirable. One major obstacle must be overcome: organizational inertia.  相似文献
