Piloting a long-term evaluation of library data workshops     

Fred Willie Zametkin LaPolla  Nicole Contaxis  Alisa Surkis 《Journal of the Medical Library Association》2021,109(3):490

Background:Over four years of hosting library data workshops, we conducted post-workshop evaluation of attendees'' satisfaction with the workshops but not longer-term follow-up. To best allocate library resources and most effectively serve the needs of our users, we sought to determine whether our data workshops were impactful and useful to our community. This paper describes a pilot project to evaluate the impact of data workshops at our academic health sciences library.Case Presentation:We surveyed individuals who signed up for data workshops between 2016 and 2019. Surveys included open-ended and multiple-choice questions, with the goal of having participants describe their motivations for taking the workshop(s) and how they ultimately used what they learned. An analysis of responses using the Applied Thematic Analysis model indicated that the workshops had an impact on the respondents, although the strength of our conclusions is limited by a relatively low response rate.Conclusions:Survey results indicated that our workshops impacted how researchers at our medical center collect and analyze data, supporting the conclusion that we should concentrate our educational efforts on providing skills-based workshops. The low response rate and time-consuming nature of the analysis point toward several improvements for future evaluation efforts, including better tracking of workshop attendees, a shorter survey with fewer open-ended questions, and survey implementation within one year of the workshop date.  相似文献   

Long-term instructional development: A 20-year ID and implementation project     

Howard Sullivan  Kay Ice  Fred Niedermeyer 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2000,48(4):87-99

This article describes the development and implementation in the schools over a 20-year period of the Energy Source Program, a comprehensive K-12 energy education curriculum. The program was developed beginning in 1980 using state-of-the-art development procedures for that time and has been used to date by more than 12 million American students to learn about energy and energy issues. End-of-unit posttest scores for the elementary and high school units averaged above 80% for their field tests. Data obtained from a large sample during the first three years of installation of the program in the schools indicated that posttest scores remained at a level during installation similar to that during the field-test phase. A study conducted in the early 1990s by an independent research organization to assess the program's long-term effects revealed that grade 6 students who had used one or more units from the program had significantly greater energy knowledge and better energy conservation habits than students who had not used any units. A set of 10 guidelines are offered for long-term instructional development and implementation projects. He supervised the development of the Energy Source Program from 1980 to 1984 while serving as a consultant to EDS. Kay Ice was Director of Program Development at EDS, and she was a primary writer and developer of the Energy Source Program. She has been president of EDS since 1999. Fred Niedermeyer was the founding president of EDS. He was project director of the Energy Source project, and he played a major role in all aspects of the project from its inception until his retirement in 1999.  相似文献

1998—2017年《中国图书馆学报》论文的计量研究与品质分析     

张慧  叶鹰 《中国图书馆学报》2018,44(5):34-46

以CNKI数据库的量化数据和《〈中国图书馆学报〉创刊六十周年文选》的质性选编为基础,定义出《中国图书馆学报》(1998—2017)所有论文、《文选》论文和双高论文,采用引用量C、下载量U和引用下载比K三个计量指标,对所有论文和《文选》论文进行计量研究,并对《文选》论文和双高论文进行品质分析。研究发现:C、U和K均服从幂律分布,且论文年均引用下载比逐年递减;分段时间内论文引用和下载之间具有高度正相关关系。由于学术品质不能完全用量化指标代替,建议以提升学术品质作为最终目标,而计量研究的目的则是促进学术品质提升。图5。表4。参考文献21。  相似文献   

Education as Economic Investment: Comments on Tuition Fee Policy     

Fred Wilson 《Interchange》2003,34(1):89-104

Student fees for university programmes in Canada have risen dramatically in recent years. This has been justified by the argument that such increases offer no economic disincentive to students seeking university admission. The present essay comments on that argument and finds several weaknesses in it. Fee increases may still be necessary, but this argument at least does not establish that they are innocuous.  相似文献

赵星  乔利利  张家榕  张慧  叶鹰 《中国图书馆学报》2022,48(6):6-15

围绕热点“元宇宙”的研究和讨论正风靡各界,而研讨其理论原则与实用场景至关重要。本文以逻辑方法分析元宇宙研究的理论原则与实用场景,提出元宇宙研究的三大理论原则:虚实互动原则、技术互联原则、人文互利原则,并在实用场景中选择三类典型场景对应讨论了理论原则与实践应用。本文阐明了元宇宙研究的理论意义与应用场景价值,特别指出图书馆元宇宙作为一种实用场景对图书情报领域的重要意义。图3。表1。参考文献22。  相似文献   

International collaboration in science and the formation of a core group   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Loet Leydesdorff  Caroline S. Wagner 《Journal of Informetrics》2008,2(4):317-325

International collaboration as measured by co-authorship relations on refereed papers grew linearly from 1990 to 2005 in terms of the number of papers, but exponentially in terms of the number of international addresses. This confirms Persson et al.'s [Persson, O., Glänzel, W., & Danell, R. (2004). Inflationary bibliometrics values: The role of scientific collaboration and the need for relative indicators in evaluative studies. Scientometrics, 60(3), 421–432] hypothesis of an inflation in international collaboration. Patterns in international collaboration in science can be considered as network effects, since there is no political institution mediating relationships at that level except for the initiatives of the European Commission. Science at the international level shares features with other complex adaptive systems whose order arises from the interactions of hundreds of agents pursuing self-interested strategies. During the period 2000–2005, the network of global collaborations appears to have reinforced the formation of a core group of fourteen most cooperative countries. This core group can be expected to use knowledge from the global network with great efficiency, since these countries have strong national systems. Countries at the periphery may be disadvantaged by the increased strength of the core.  相似文献
