The Case for Weeding: The Buskerud Bandits’ Contribution to a Knowledge-Based Discarding Practice in Norwegian Public Libraries     

Jannicke Røgler 《图书馆管理杂志》2013,53(5):382-402

ABSTRACT

This article explores discarding and collection development in Norwegian public libraries, based on a local discarding initiative in Buskerud County. It demonstrates how a systematic development project can change the library employees’ practices and have an impact locally, regionally and nationally. Using different cases, the article examines how discarding became part of the professional discourse. The change-work had an action-based, innovative and practical approach based on both theory and empirical evidence. The article also indicates that change-work has best effect with a solid grounding in library management and when numerous initiatives are involved.  相似文献

Changes in Organising and Managing Research in Universities: Reconstruction or Rediscovery     

Rasmussen  Jørgen Gulddahl 《Tertiary Education and Management》2000,6(4):271-287

The ways in which research production is organised incontemporary universities are different both from the oftencommonly expressed view of the individual researcher discoveringnew knowledge working alone, and from the traditionalprofessor-assistants organisation as the basic researchproduction unit. This article presents – on the basis of anempirical study of social science research organising in fourdifferent universities – a number of characteristics of how basicresearch organisation takes place. The most are described commonfeatures of such organisation models described. The factorsconstructing new more dynamic and integrated models in practiceare analysed. And the demands for efficient university governancestructures, to ensure the development of basic organisationswhich can produce short- and long-term high quality andsuccessful research, are discussed.  相似文献   

The Demand for Books Estimated by Means of Consumer Survey Data     

Vidar Ringstad  Knut Løyland 《Journal of Cultural Economics》2006,30(2):141-155

In this analysis we present some results for book demand (schoolbooks are excluded) in Norway, obtained by means of a three-goods model (books, other cultural goods and non-cultural goods) and survey data for more than 18000 households from the period 1986–1999. Various methods of estimation are used, and they provide, surprisingly unambiguous results. Our hypotheses about the price and income sensitivity of book demand are confirmed. Books turn out to be “luxury” goods. Our calculations do also suggest that they are quite price sensitive and that they are close substitutes to other cultural goods. The results for socio-demographic variables indicate that access to outlets for books, sex and age matter for book demand. Moreover, we find that single persons and households with small children, especially those with children less than 7 years, are frequent book-buyers.  相似文献   

The Troubled Life of an Habitual Offender in Colonial Greenland     

Søren Rud 《Cultural and Social History》2016,13(1):99-114

This article investigates how law and order was handled in the Danish colonies in Greenland during the period ranging approximately from 1911 to 1953. The Greenlandic author Peter Gundel’s frequent episodes of conflict with the law provide the framework for the analysis. The article deals with how – and through what specific techniques – procedures related to law and order worked to establish, maintain, or reform identities in colonial Greenland. It is argued that social practices within the field of law and order were characterized by the colonial administration’s tactical deployment of a specific version of Greenlandic culture.  相似文献   

Inklusion im Sportunterricht     

Sabine Reuker  Anne Rischke  Astrid Kämpfe  Björn Schmitz  Hilke Teubert  Anne Thissen  Holger Wiethäuper 《Sportwissenschaft》2016,46(2):88-101

This review article provides an overview of the state of research in the English and German languages on inclusive physical education lessons. Studies published in journals and collected works between 2005 and 2014 were included. A systematic literature search was carried out and articles were selected according to predetermined criteria. A total of 74 articles were included in this review and categorized into the 3 superordinate topics attitude, lessons and qualifications. The compact presentation of the results revealed a tendency towards a positive attitude on inclusive physical education lessons of all participants questioned; however, teaching staff were critical of the concrete implementation of inclusive lessons and admitted that they had been insufficiently prepared for this during training. Pupils also expressed positive as well as negative experiences for participation in inclusive physical education lessons; however, some study results indicated that the acceptance of children with disabilities as well as their effectiveness of learning and physical activity can be improved by special interventional approaches. A core topic of inclusive lessons is a cooperation between the various participants. In this way problems are revealed, which can partly be attributed to the sometimes less clearly defined task profile and to discipline-specific training deficits of some participants. Finally, based on a critically constructive discussion, recommendations on further research approaches on inclusive physical education lessons in German-speaking regions are presented.  相似文献   

Reflexive professional subjects: knowledge and emotions in the collaborations between teachers and educational-psychological consultants in a Danish school context     

Bjørg Kjær  Karen Ida Dannesboe 《International Studies in Sociology of Education》2019,28(2):168-185

In this article, we investigate how the shift towards inclusive education in Danish schools changes and affects the ways in which educational-psychological advisory service (in Danish, PPR) units and school staff collaborate. Since inclusion is generally a matter of ensuring that every child can be accommodated within the mainstream school system, the increased inclusion agenda has altered the type of support that PPRs typically offer. Classic psychological assessments now play a lesser role, with PPR staff expected to conduct consultative work to promote the school staff’s reflection on their own practice, with the aim of supporting the inclusion of children. Based on an ethnographic study of the collaboration between PPR and school staff, we investigate the impact of the changes on the forms of knowledge and professional subjectivities that are produced, as well as the emotional work that is involved.  相似文献   

Competition in Physical Education: Avoid,Ask, Adapt or Accept?     

Kenneth Aggerholm  Øyvind Førland Standal  Mats Melvold Hordvik 《Quest (Human Kinetics)》2018,70(3):385-400

Competition is an essential part of youth sport. But should it also be part of the curriculum in physical education? Or are competitive activities incompatible with the educational context? While some researchers have argued that physical education should embrace the sporting logic of competition, others have criticized the negative experiences it can create for some students in school. In this article, we draw on insights from the philosophy of sport as well as educational philosophy, with the aim of questioning and critically examining the integration of competitive activities in physical education. We present and discuss four normative arguments (AVOID, ASK, ADAPT, and ACCEPT) that can each in their own way inform and guide future talks on the topic.  相似文献   

Global rankings in the Nordic region: challenging the identity of research-intensive universities?     

Mari Elken  Elisabeth Hovdhaugen  Bjørn Stensaker 《Higher Education》2016,71(6):781-790

Global university rankings currently attract considerable attention, and it is often assumed that such rankings may cause universities to prioritize activities and outcomes that will have a positive effect in their ranking position. A possible consequence of this could be the spread of a particular model of an “ideal” university. This article tests this assumption through an analysis of a sample of research-intensive universities in the Nordic region. Through document analysis and interviews with institutional leaders and staff from central administration, the study explores whether high-ranked Nordic universities take strategic measures as a response to global rankings, and whether the traditional identities of the universities are changing, as they are influenced and affected by the rankings. The study shows that rankings have a relatively modest impact on decision-making and strategic actions in the Nordic universities studied, and that there are few signs of rankings challenging the existing identities of the universities in this region.  相似文献
