Developing Future Women Leaders: The Importance of Mentoring and Role Modeling in the Girls’ School Context     

Nicole Archard 《Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning》2013,21(4):451-472

In this article, I explore the concepts of mentoring and role modeling with regard to developing student leaders within the girls’ school context. The foundation for this discussion lies in two qualitative studies involving staff and students from girls’ schools located in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Both survey and focus groups were used as methods of data collection. Mentoring and role modeling in school settings is reported in this study as taking place in two different forms: student/student and staff/student. This research identified the multidimensional nature of these relationships with regard to female school staff who then became role models for female students. Ultimately, mentoring and role modeling may help female students in developing the knowledge and skills required for leadership as well as assisting in an understanding of gender barriers in relation to leadership roles.  相似文献   

Reasonable Adjustments in Assessment: Putting Law and Policy into Practice in Australia     

Joy Cumming  Elizabeth Dickson  Amanda Webster 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》2013,60(4):295-311

The Australian Disability Standards for Education 2005 (Cth) require education providers to make reasonable adjustments in educational assessment so that students with disability can participate on the same basis as other students and be able to demonstrate what they know and can do. Reasonableness is governed by a determination of the balance of interests, benefits and detriment to the parties involved. The Standards require providers to consult with students and associates on adjustments, although guidance on how consultation should occur and how the views of students and associates are to be taken into account is vague. In this article, we identify three principles to be considered in order to put appropriate and effective reasonable adjustments in assessment into practice. While Australian law and assessment contexts are used to examine intentions, expectations and practices in educational assessment for students with disability, we argue that these three principles must be considered in any national education system to ensure equitable assessment practices and achieve equitable educational inclusion for students with disability.  相似文献   

澳大利亚对华政策调整——对比分析2009及2013澳大利亚国防白皮书     

李洪斌 《鸡西大学学报》2013,(12):41-44

2013年5月,澳大利亚公布了新的国防白皮书,其中最引人注目的是明确表示不再将中国视为"威胁",欢迎中国崛起。这与2009年澳大利亚国防白皮书形成鲜明对比,当时澳大利亚认为中国崛起可能构成对地区和平与安全的潜在威胁。澳大利亚对华政策的调整原因颇多,包括澳大利亚经济发展需要中国市场的支持、澳本国战略利益需要、澳民众对中国发展的认可,以及澳政府对过去、当前及未来外交实践的再反思和评估。  相似文献   

高等教育的国际化:外国学生政策之比较分析   总被引：13，自引：0，他引：13  

戴晓霞 《复旦教育论坛》2004,2(5):11-16

高等教育的国际化主要可以由学生、教师、课程及研究这四个方向来进行。由于国际学生的流动人数庞大 ,其消费构成价值数百亿美元的市场 ,因此招收外国学生不只有利于长期政治、经贸关系的耕耘、国家竞争力的提升 ,更是重要的外销服务性产品 ,故工业先进国家和区域性组织将之视为既是高等教育、也是政治和经济的重要策略。为了进一步了解高等教育国际化的内涵与策略 ,本文由高等教育国际化的历史发展、高等教育国际市场的类型与规模切入 ,并分析欧盟、荷兰、澳洲、日本和马来西亚等国的相关政策。透过比较研究 ,本文指出高等教育国际化具有多重目标、留学生选择留学国家时考虑多重因素 ,因此为了完成高等教育国际化的特定目标 ,各国 /区域组织必须选择对应策略。值得注意的是 ,高等教育国际化固然有其重要性 ,但是过度重视招收外国学生也可能带来负面影响  相似文献   

澳大利亚大学教育券制的设想与论争     

祝怀新  刘晓楠 《高等教育研究》2004,25(2):94-98

澳大利亚在20世纪末率先提出了在高等教育领域内引入教育券制的设想并进行了探讨。教育券制作为一种新兴的政府资助方式,有利有弊。对澳大利亚关于高等教育阶段实行教育券制的设想及由此产生的争论所作的介析和评价,可以对我国高等教育相关政策的制定、实施与完善提供借鉴。  相似文献   

Methods for assessing higher education research team collaboration: comparing research outputs and participant perceptions across four collaborative research teams     

Nick Kelly  Joanne Doyle  Marisa Parker 《高等教育研究与发展》2020,39(2):215-229

ABSTRACT

This article suggests that situations in which multiple research teams are convened under similar conditions present an opportunity to discover factors that lead to productive collaboration. It argues that social network analysis of research team outputs becomes more valuable when paired with data about research participant perceptions; and that any variables used as indicators of collaboration need to be calibrated using datasets from multiple studies with cross-team comparisons. The article provides an example of the kind of methodology needed to achieve this, describing a study with data from four research teams based at an Australian university campus, reporting their research performance over four years under conditions in which many variables were controlled and with results augmented by a survey of participant perceptions. Findings from the study indicate that there were exceptions to hypothesized associations between participant perceptions of collaboration and specific social network analysis measures over co-authorship data. The article suggests that, given the methodological challenges of studying research teams in the field, multiple datasets combining findings such as those in the present study are a path towards the development of indicators of productive higher education research collaboration.  相似文献   

Embodied inter-referencing: encounters with and among “Asian” students in the Australian classroom     

Jane Chi Hyun Park 《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》2019,20(2):271-289

ABSTRACT

This essay examines the pedagogical practice of referencing my experiences as a transnational Korean American woman in the classroom and considers how it opens up space for domestic and international students of East, Southeast, and South Asian backgrounds to reflect on their different identities, histories, and cultures. In particular, it focuses on how this practice enables Asian students to share their experiences of and insights about racial difference, racism, and whiteness in Australia and other parts of the world. Building on the concept of Asian “inter-referencing” from Chua Beng Huat (2015), I coin the term “embodied inter-referencing” to describe the strategic ways I use autobiographical narrative to create an inclusive, interactive, and mutually respectful learning space. I centre here on how some Asian students respond to this strategy by telling their own stories and in the process, create transnational, diasporic, and inter-Asian affective communities inside and outside the classroom.  相似文献

Engagement with news on Twitter: insights from Australia and Korea     

Robert Ackland  Mathieu O’Neil  Sora Park 《亚洲交流杂志》2019,29(3):235-251

ABSTRACT

This study examines the patterns of news engagement among news consumers with different political affiliation and cultural background. We use computational methods and data from Twitter in a cross-country comparison of engagement with six online news sources in Australia and South Korea. For our analysis, we used a subset of Twitter users who retweeted at least one political story during the period of collection, and for whom we were able to predict political affiliation using correspondence analysis and data on Twitter follower ties to politicians. We find that right-wing Australian retweeters are more intense in their news engagement, compared with their left-wing counterparts, whereas in South Korea it was the opposite. Australian right-wing political retweeters have more diverse information sources, while there was no difference in information diversity between the right and left in South Korea. We discuss how the political situation in South Korea at the time of data collection may have affected our analysis. We emphasise the methodological contributions of our research and its connection to on-going research into the behavioural foundations of ‘filter bubbles’.  相似文献
