Technological research in the EU is less efficient than the world average. EU research policy risks Europeans’ future     

Alonso Rodríguez-Navarro  Ricardo Brito 《Journal of Informetrics》2018,12(3):718-731

We have studied the efficiency of research in the EU by a percentile-based citation approach that analyzes the distribution of country papers among the world papers. Going up in the citation scale, the frequency of papers from efficient countries increases while the frequency from inefficient countries decreases. In the percentile-based approach, this trend, which is uniform at any citation level, is measured by the e_p index that equals the P_{top 1%}/P_{top 10%} ratio. By using the e_p index we demonstrate that EU research on fast-evolving technological topics is less efficient than the world average and that the EU is far from being able to compete with the most advanced countries. The e_p index also shows that the USA is well ahead of the EU in both fast- and slow-evolving technologies, which suggests that the advantage of the USA over the EU in innovation is due to low research efficiency in the EU. In accord with some previous studies, our results show that the European Commission’s ongoing claims about the excellence of EU research are based on a wrong diagnosis. The EU must focus its research policy on the improvement of its inefficient research. Otherwise, the future of Europeans is at risk.  相似文献

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

Disaster philanthropy: Exploring the power and influence of for-profit philanthropy in education development during pandemic times     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2021

This article contributes a conceptual analysis of the power and influence of for- profit philanthropy on educational development during pandemic times. Through highlighting for-profit philanthropy, describing its relevance to educational development, and drawing attention to four aspects that are under-examined as for- profit philanthropists enact their philanthropic agendas in response to the COVID- 19 pandemic, disaster philanthropy is presented as a window of opportunity for elite donors to enact changes in public education based on their distinct donor and institutional agendas. Implications for educational development are discussed including shifts in power, definitions and public vs. private returns.  相似文献   

职业训练的效益评估——以企业内训为例     

徐秀燕  张慧慈  萧德瑛  巫勇贤 《湖北大学成人教育学院学报》2015,(1):4-7,23

近年来,职业训练训后评估逐渐被重视,例如美国训练与发展协会(ASTD)及台湾人才发展质量管理系统(TTQS)等,皆关注参训者于训练时所习得的新知识或技术是否能应用于职场中,以利直接提升企业的实质效益。本研究于2014年5⁶月份期间,协助台湾地区65家事业单位进行训后追踪评估,总共搜集了65位企业主管及429位参训学员评估训练成效。研究发现,学员认为参训后在新知识及技术的获得、受训内容应用于实务中、及提升工作表现等方面,具有最明显的改变;此结果与企业主管评估参训学员训后能力提升的结果相符,主管认为员工参训后在训练内容的应用、获得新知识与技术、提升工作表现、及问题解决能力等皆有不错表现。另外,企业主管也认为训练除了能提升员工表现以外,在组织目标达成、组织营运绩效、及组织营运成本等,皆有正向的影响及改善。整体上,参训学员及企业主管对于训练计划成果持正向支持的态度,并乐于继续参与训练课程以加强组织竞争力。  相似文献

Citizens as planners: Harnessing information and values from the bottom-up     

《International Journal of Information Management》2017,37(3):111-113

In this paper, we focus on understanding the critical role of everyday citizen in planning and policy-related issues in their city enabled by the newly emerging technological platforms such as mobile-based application and internet-based participatory platforms. The interest and capability of citizens to use and benefit from such online platforms that facilitate urban planning has grown in recent times, which makes it important to study the nature of these platforms and civic engagement that is facilitated through them. We study three such platforms and provide policy recommendations to urban planners based on our analyses of the platforms.  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
