Where have all the students gone? Participation of doctoral students in authentic mathematical activity as a necessary condition for persistence toward the PH.D.     

A.H. Herzig 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2002,50(2):177-212

The mathematics community in the U.S. has become concerned about the state of doctoral education, including concerns about high attrition rates and the small numbers of women and students from some racial and ethnic groups. This paper proposes a model of doctoral student persistence and attrition, in which student participation in the life of the department and discipline lead to increased student integration, which is crucial for students' success. Ten faculty members and eighteen graduate students were interviewed about their interests,conceptions, and experiences within mathematics, in a case study of one mathematics department. In this department, students experienced four types of obstacles to their participation: obstacles stemming from the program structure, obstacles to participation in class, obstacles to participating with faculty outside of class, and obstacles stemming from faculty beliefs about teaching and learning. Implications for the retention of mathematics doctoral students are discussed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Construction of “glocal” (global–local) identity among Israeli graduate students in the USA     

Dorit Tubin  Orit Lapidot 《Higher Education》2008,55(2):203-217

Abstract This study focuses on the effect of doctoral and postdoctoral studies at leading research universities in the USA on constructing the academic identity of Israeli students. The findings are based on constant comparative analysis of semi-structured interviews with 27 Fulbright alumni. The results show that while American scientific standards become a model for the Israeli scientists, Israeli culture and identity become much more evident, for better or worse. Several ways of handling these identities were recognized and include: the intertwine method, ordering, and buffering. Further theoretical and practical implications are discussed.  相似文献   

University Counselling Service Utilisation by Local and International Students and User Characteristics: A Review     

Adam Raunic  Sophia Xenos 《International journal for the advancement of counseling》2008,30(4):262-267

This paper reviews research on students’ usage of university counselling services across countries and their demographic and psychological characteristics. In doing so, emphasis is given to reported distinctions between local and international university students. Utilisation rates, encouraging factors and barriers to utilisation, presenting problems, and methodological problems with existing studies are each examined. The findings suggest that only a minority of between 2% and 4% of university students access such services, with females being more likely to use them than males. International students in particular underutilise these services, and this is primarily due to such students’ preference for seeking help from family or friends over outside sources. When students do seek assistance, their presenting issues most commonly involve symptoms of depression or anxiety, as well as academic and relationship difficulties.  相似文献   

Establishing a Competence Profile for the Role of Student-centred Teachers in Higher Education in Belgium   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Annelies Gilis  Mieke Clement  Lies Laga  Paul Pauwels 《Research in higher education》2008,49(6):531-554

The increasing importance of constructivism in higher education has brought about a shift in pedagogy from a focus on the teacher to a focus on the student. This has important implications for teaching and assessment. A student-centred pedagogy implies a different role for the teacher. What exactly does student-centred teaching require from teachers’ actual teaching practice? What is expected from them in order to teach in a student-centred way? It is in order to respond to these questions that this research project has been carried out establishing a core competence profile of student-centred teachers in higher education. Qualitative data were collected by means of semi-structured in-depth interviews with teachers from different institutions for higher education in Belgium, known for their student-centred way of teaching. This research method is innovative compared to the methods used for existing competence lists in the literature, which were usually developed on the basis of conversations with pedagogical experts. By exploring practice and having teachers participate in the development of a competence list, the acceptance of a competence profile is much higher. The result of the project is a validated competence profile which takes into account the critiques on existing competence lists. The competence profile provides a further insight in the functioning of teachers within a student-centred pedagogy and can be used as a starting point for the educational development of teachers within this pedagogy.  相似文献   

In these uncertain times: Educators build cultural awareness through planned international experiences   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

John Kambutu  Lydiah W. Nganga 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2008

This narrative inquiry explored the effectiveness of planned international experiences in promoting cultural awareness, understanding and appreciation among American educators. Participating educators (n=12) were immersed in foreign cultures for 2–3 weeks during three different summers. To document the effectiveness of cultural immersion, participants completed pre- and post-visit surveys. Pre-visit data showed lack of cultural awareness. After the visit, however, participants had gained broader awareness, understanding and appreciation of host cultures such that familiar cultural practices were rarely used as the only point of reference. Follow-up interviews showed possible sustained acculturation.  相似文献   

从分化到整合——心理健康教育的发展趋向     

NIU Peng 《教育理论与实践》2008,(28)

从分化到整合,是心理健康教育发展的必由之路。心理健康教育由分化走向多元化整合,既是现实的需要,也是学科发展的必然结果。整合的心理健康教育,将坚持整体观、系统论,积极整合多学科的研究成果,加强不同取向之间的对话和交流,彻底摆脱过去学科发展中的二歧视野,形成科学主义与人文主义、理论研究与实证研究、历史研究与现代研究、阶段研究与整体研究、个别研究与一般规律探索的有机融合,最终达到心理健康教育的跃迁。只有以整合的视野去观照人、观照心理健康教育,心理健康教育才能健康发展。  相似文献

全球化时代的核心理念是“共生”与“和谐”。从教育教学视角来看,这一理念的确立根植于教学过程中师、生和文本三者借助于对话与理解达到视域融合的过程。其实,视域融合不仅是教学的一种方法,也体现教学的和谐特质,同时是教学的本质源起和终极追寻目标。  相似文献
