College course scarcity and time to degree     

《Economics of Education Review》2014

College students are taking longer to earn baccalaureate degrees now than ever before, but little is known about institutional factors that may contribute to this trend. In this paper we investigate an important institutional constraint—course scarcity—that we hypothesize may be associated with increased time to degree. We employ a unique administrative dataset from a large, moderately selective, public institution and use an instrumental variables approach, identifying off the random registration times assigned to students. Results suggest that course scarcity does not delay students’ graduation. We explore alternative explanations for our findings and discuss a variety of other factors correlated with time to baccalaureate completion.  相似文献

The Saljuq Turks’ Conversion to Islam: The Crusading Sources     

Nicholas Morton 《Al-Masaq: Islam & the Medieval Mediterranean》2015,27(2):109-118

This article contributes to the important debate over the conversion of the Turks to Islam. Previously, it was thought that the Turks abandoned their former steppe faith and customs very swiftly to become staunch Sunni Muslims, but this view has recently been challenged by a number of studies. The current consensus seems to be that the Turks’ adoption of Islam was a process of far longer duration, spanning many decades. This article broadens this discussion by demonstrating that the chronicles written by the First Crusaders contain much useful information that is pertinent to this question. It works through these texts, showing that they can shed new light on this point.  相似文献   

韩国经济起飞的日本因素     

闰华芳 《大连大学学报》2015,(1):80-84

20世纪60年代,韩国制定了出口导向的经济发展计划,但韩国经济凋敝,缺乏工业化所需的庞大的资金和先进的技术。而通过日韩关系正常化,取得日本的赔偿,是导入外资的重要途径。1965年《日韩协定》签定以来,日本对韩国的援助以及技术交流在一定程度上支持着韩国的越南特需,并在第2个5年计划期间作为主要财源,为韩国的经济发展带来活力,另一方面,日本对韩国的援助和投资,也开拓了日企的市场,提高日本对韩国的出口,并使韩国对日贸易长期处于赤字状态。  相似文献

Guideposts and Roadblocks to the Career-Long Scholarly Engagement of Physical Education Teacher Education Faculty

Purpose: Scholarship is essential for the growth and development of the physical education field. Over time, scholarship expectations have changed, forcing faculty members to alter time spent for research, teaching, and service. Social-cognitive career theory (SCCT) presents a model for understanding performance and persistence in an occupational environment. The interconnected aspects of SCCT have different emphasis related to self-efficacy, outcome expectations, or personal goals pursuit. This study explored physical education teacher education (PETE) faculty members’ continuing engagement in scholarly activity through SCCT. Method: Data collection included interviews with 9 senior PETE faculty members who met the criteria for “productive scholars over time.” Curriculum vitae were collected to verify productivity. Results: Data analysis revealed guidepost themes that included collaborating, finding balance, defining a research process, and maintaining a strong work ethic. Roadblocks encountered included other obligations and lack of support for research. Conclusions: Participants demonstrated strong self-efficacy; held high, positive expectations for success; and set very specific, clear, and deliberate goals. Participant behavior was moderated by their personal attributes (capacity to build relationships, set goals, and maintain interest and passion) and was tempered by the environments in which they worked. Fostering similar behaviors has the potential to guide future and current PETE faculty members in creating supportive and encouraging atmospheres for sustained productivity. The lack of literature relating to this topic warrants the need for more research exploring the influential factors and benefits gained from sustained scholarly productivity over time for PETE faculty members.  相似文献   

A Syntactic Study on Bare Infinitive and Infinitival to     

LIU Jing 《海外英语》2014,(10):239-240

Infinitives which consist of bare infinitive and infinitival to are imperative in linguistic studies.And both of the two kinds of infinitives do not indicate person,tense and number.This research aims to analyze the properties,similarities and differences between bare infinitive and infinitival to from the perspective of syntax.Thus,it enables us to attain a uniform characterization of the infinitival to and bare infinitive on the syntactic level and help us to understand these two kinds of infinitives better.  相似文献   

自由视角下的“马拉松热”     

刘转青  练碧贞 《北京体育大学学报》2017,40(8):34-39

摘要：通过文献资料法将自由界定为“个人意志之理性独立与行动之不受限定”。运用观察法和访谈法对马拉松运动中的选手现状进行了详细描述，从中归结出马拉松运动所蕴含的自由因素，即选手个人的意志自由、参赛权利的自由、跑步方式的自由和平时练习的自由。在此基础上，从自由对于人的重要性、我国人们生活中自由的缺失以及马拉松运动中自由所发挥的作用三方面阐释了马拉松火爆的深层原因。提出马拉松火爆的真正原因是由于它使选手的主体性得以回归，为参与者提供了实现自我价值的良好平台，有效地满足了人们对于自由的渴望与追求。期冀马拉松运动的后续发展能够一如既往地坚守它所秉持的理念和价值主张，不因过度商业化的侵袭而异化；同时也期冀能够藉此为日常生活中其他公共活动的开展提供启示。  相似文献   

How repeated studying and testing affects multimedia learning: Evidence for adaptation to task demands     

《Learning and Instruction》2016

Two biases can occur in multimedia learning: overconfidence and over-reliance on text processing. The present research sought to identify these biases and to investigate whether they can be reduced, and hence learning fostered, when studying and testing are repeated. In 2 experiments (Exp.1: N = 79, Exp.2: N = 52), students learned either with text only or with text and pictures (multimedia) about how the toilet flush works, gave judgments-of-learning (JOLs), were tested on the learning contents; afterwards this study-test cycle was repeated. Results from both experiments revealed stronger overconfidence due to multimedia in both study-test cycles (JOLs higher than learning outcomes). Eye movement data showed a relative increase in attention on the picture versus text from cycle 1 to cycle 2; this relative increase in attention was related to better learning outcomes. Repeated studying and testing thus helped to reduce over-reliance on text processing in multimedia learning, fostering performance.  相似文献   

Exploring learning and fit in the transition from higher education to the labour market: A systematic review     

《Educational Research Review》2017

The transition from higher education to the labour market is an important period for youngsters, characterised by extensive changes which act as triggers for learning. Furthermore, students’ educational background and the (in)congruence with their work context is important. Accordingly, the aim of this systematic review is to explore the role of learning and fit in the transition process. Results indicate that most emphasis is put on theoretical knowledge, communication, problem-solving, and learning skills. Although the perception on what has to be learned differs for employers, educators, and graduates, each group valued generic competences most. Results show that transfer can be experienced in three ways and the need for learning at work is stressed. Concerning fit, four types of fit are distinguished: vertical, horizontal, competence, and person-environment fit. Several personal background characteristics are shown to influence fit and findings indicate that fit has an influence on career progress and personal resources.  相似文献
