A quantitative and model-driven approach to assessing higher education in the United States of America     

Zuqing Huang 《Quality in Higher Education》2016,22(1):78-95

University ranking or higher education assessment in general has been attracting more and more public attention over the years. However, the subjectivity-based evaluation index and indicator selections and weights that are widely adopted in most existing ranking systems have been called into question. In other words, the objectivity and impartiality of those rankings has been worrisome. To address these concerns, this paper presents a quantitative and model-driven approach to acquiring the evaluation index and indicator weights in the US News & World Report ranking system. Structural equation modelling will be applied to mine non-subjective weights from collected data. The proposed approach will be validated using two groups of United States universities, National Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges, classified by the US News & World Report. Managerial and administrative implications will also be explored. This study shows a very promising future because it opens a new venue for the scholars and practitioners in the higher education assessment field to develop a real-time, scalable and model-driven higher education ranking system.  相似文献

对以权威为基础的德育的新认识     

万峰  林樟杰 《上海师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2007,36(6):108-112

以权威为基础的德育模式的存在有其一定的合理性,它明确了德育工作者的使命和要求,规范了人们按社会传统的道德规范做事,在迫使社会矛盾延缓和防止冲突失控方面,起着有力和积极的作用。但是,这种权威模式的德育,对社会的进步和人的自由发展也有着明显的限制和副作用。构建和谐社会,应当摈弃以权威为基础的服从式的德育,建立和谐自主平等的德育新基础。依靠自主建构的价值观念和道德规范,才能真正成为人们的道德信念和行动准则,德育目标才能真正实现。  相似文献

Cindy Sherman: A Play of Selves. A collaborative approach to conservation     

J. Luca Ackerman  Peter Mustardo  Hanako Murata  Tatiana Cole 《文物保护研究》2016,61(3):1-6

In 2013, The Better Image (TBI) was contacted to examine A Play of Selves, a unique work created by artist Cindy Sherman during her graduate studies in 1975. The work is composed of 244 paper doll-like photographs of Sherman that are presented within 72 frames. During initial condition checks, it was noted that a number of individual elements had begun to show signs of chemical staining. Over the course of 2013/2014, a collaborative response was developed with the help of the artist, the artist's printer, the representing gallery, TBI staff and the owner. The main goal was to address the physical and chemical issues present and preserve this work for future exhibition and study. Determining an effective decision- making model based on a hierarchy of values was crucial before undertaking any conservation treatment, as there were several invested parties, each with a different perspective. The focus of this paper is the interplay of our responsibilities as conservators with the concerns of the artist, her gallery, her printer, and the owner to balance aesthetic vs. physical integrity of the artwork, reversibility of treatments, importance of record keeping while developing a balanced response within a world of rapidly disappearing traditional photographic papers.  相似文献
