Correlates of Work-Life Balance for Faculty Across Racial/Ethnic Groups     

Nida Denson  Katalin Szelényi  Kate Bresonis 《Research in higher education》2018,59(2):226-247

Very few studies have examined issues of work-life balance among faculty of different racial/ethnic backgrounds. Utilizing data from Harvard University’s Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education project, this study examined predictors of work-life balance for 2953 faculty members from 69 institutions. The final sample consisted of 1059 (36%) Asian American faculty, 512 (17%) African American faculty, 359 (12%) Latina/o faculty, and 1023 (35%) White/Caucasian faculty. There were 1184 (40%) women faculty and 1769 (60%) men faculty. The predictors of worklife balance included faculty characteristics, departmental/institutional characteristics and support, and faculty satisfaction with work. While African American women faculty reported less work-life balance than African American men, the reverse was true for Latina/o faculty. In addition, White faculty who were single with no children were significantly less likely to report having work-life balance than their married counterparts with children. Faculty rank was a significant positive predictor of work-life balance for all faculty. Notably, the findings highlight the importance of department and institutional support for making personal/family obligations and an academic career compatible. Institutional support for making personal/family obligations and an academic career compatible was consistently the strongest positive predictor of perceived work-life balance for all faculty. In addition, satisfaction with time spent on research had positive associations with work-life balance for all faculty, highlighting how faculty from all racial/ethnic backgrounds value being able to spend enough time on their own research.  相似文献   

On mathematical understanding: perspectives of experienced Chinese mathematics teachers     

Jinfa Cai  Meixia Ding 《Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education》2017,20(1):5-29

Researchers have long debated the meaning of mathematical understanding and ways to achieve mathematical understanding. This study investigated experienced Chinese mathematics teachers’ views about mathematical understanding. It was found that these mathematics teachers embrace the view that understanding is a web of connections, which is a result of continuous connection making. However, in contrast to the popular view which separates understanding into conceptual and procedural, Chinese teachers prefer to view understanding in terms of concepts and procedures. They place more stress on the process of concept development, which is viewed as a source of students’ failures in transfer. To achieve mathematical understanding, the Chinese teachers emphasize strategies such as reinventing a concept, verbalizing a concept, and using examples and comparisons for analogical reasoning. These findings draw on the perspective of classroom practitioners to inform the long-debated issue of the meaning of mathematical understanding and ways to achieve mathematical understanding.  相似文献

文学语境中的称呼语翻译研究:身份视角     

段燕 《浙江教育学院学报》2016,(4):64-73

文章结合社会学和语用学视角下的身份观,以《红楼梦》《儒林外史》及其杨宪益夫妇译本为研究对象,考察和分析文学语境中称呼语"身份意识"在原著及其译本中的实现。研究发现,尽管译者一直在试图努力忠实原文,但在意义和口吻上都一定程度地违背或不尽贴合原文,这导致称呼语所蕴含的"身份意识"在汉英语际转换过程中发生了信息过载、缺失和变异等。称呼语的翻译并不是纯粹的语言转换,译者进行翻译时应在充分考虑读者认知语境的基础上,借助社会语言学、语用学和跨文化交际等众多学科知识,采取适当翻译策略。  相似文献   

Teacher capacity for and beliefs about data-driven decision making: A literature review of international research     

Amanda Datnow  Lea Hubbard 《Journal of Educational Change》2016,17(1):7-28

Data-driven decision making continues to be a growing educational reform initiative across the globe. The effective use of data requires that teachers develop the knowledge and skills to analyze and use data to improve instruction. The purpose of this article is to examine teachers’ capacity for and beliefs about data use. These issues are examined through a review of research in the past decade. We find that teachers’ beliefs about and capacity for data use are often not connected within the literature or in practice, but we argue they are the heart of the connection between data and instructional change. Teachers’ capacity to use data and their beliefs about data use are shaped within their professional communities, in training sessions, and in their interactions with coaches, consultants, and principals. However, efforts to develop teachers’ capacity for data use often fall short of their goals. Correspondingly, teachers have varied beliefs about data use, and some feel they lack the ability to use data to inform instruction. In order to be more successful, capacity building should directly address teachers’ beliefs, and data use must be decoupled from external accountability demands and involve a variety of information on student learning.  相似文献
