Evaluating Academic Challenge Beyond the NSSE     

Stephen L. Payne  Karynne L. M. Kleine  Jim Purcell  Ginger Rudeseal Carter 《Innovative Higher Education》2005,30(2):129-146

The authors investigated student and faculty perceptions of academic challenge at their institution, based on early administrations of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). This analysis revealed that the NSSE did not fully capture many meanings of academic challenge held by these faculty and students. This study led to a proposal for the development of an internal assessment approach using a modification of the NSSE and other scale items on academic challenge and student engagement. The authors discuss several implications of this study for academic scholarship and for institutional policy concerning the assessment of academic challenge.All authors except Jim Purcell are at Georgia College and State University.

Game addiction and academic achievement     

Mehmet Sahin  Yusuf Yasin Gumus  Sezen Dincel 《教育心理学》2016,36(9):1533-1543

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between game addiction and academic achievement. The secondary aim was to adapt a self-report instrument to measure game addiction. Three hundred and seventy high school students participated in this study. Data were collected via an online questionnaire that included a brief explanation of the aim of the study, demographical questions, game addiction scale (GAS) and the grade point average of the current year. The GAS had two forms: (i) 21-item and (ii) 7-item. Game addiction and academic achievement were negatively correlated but this correlation was not supported by regression and structural equation modelling analyses. The present study primarily suggests that there may be a negative correlation between game addiction and academic achievement; however, this correlation may be qualified as negligible. In addition, the two forms of the GAS were adapted for Turkish language with reliability and validity to measure computer and video game addiction in adolescents as promising instruments.  相似文献

Teacher support and academic engagement among EFL learners: The role of positive academic emotions     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2021

Academic engagement and teacher support, as two important factors in education, have been largely neglected in the research literature of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and applied linguistics. Given the facilitative role of positive emotions in learning processes, this study aimed to examine their mediating role in the relationship between teacher support and academic engagement among Iranian EFL learners. The participants were 435 EFL freshmen randomly selected via multi-stage cluster sampling. The data were collected through previously validated measures. The results of structural equation modelling showed that perceived teacher support could directly and positively affect academic engagement. Additionally, positive emotions mediated the relationship between teacher support and academic engagement. Finally, some important implications and suggestions for further research are presented.  相似文献

我国高校教师结构“灰犀牛”式危机的风险预警     

丁小浩  何章立 《高等教育研究》2021,42(2):57-66

高校教师结构及其变化对高校教师的发展起着至关重要的作用。随着高等教育的发展,部分高校的教师结构日趋异常,可能引发"灰犀牛"式危机。运用马尔可夫链对我国几种典型的高校教师结构变化进行模拟和预测,结果表明:既有的教师结构会影响未来的结构;在未来不长的时间内,部分高校的教师结构可能会不同程度地爆发结构失衡问题。通过对现有83所部属高校的教师结构进行数据分析,进一步印证了这些问题较为普遍地存在于现有高校中。我们需要建立相应的危机预警机制,防范和化解高校教师结构面临的风险。  相似文献   

论大学学术治理能力现代化     

陈亮 《华东师范大学学报(教育科学版)》2021,(2):89-99

学术治理能力涵涉多元利益主体参与大学学术场域实践活动的积极性、参与方式、治理的运行制度设计、治理主体的权责划分以及利益分配、治理程序等多重因素。提升学术治理能力现代化水平已成为全面推进高等教育治理能力现代化的关键,主要包括学术治理制度的善意理解力、冲突解决力、共在执行力、责任悦纳力以及创新驱动力等要素特征。然而,实然境遇下的大学学术场域由于诸多权力的交错混杂与寻租以及外部法律制度供给缺位,造成学术治理能力出现“虚假治理”困境,阻滞了现代大学制度建设的步伐。真正实现学术治理能力现代化需要在具有民主契约的共生环境中秉持善治理念,塑造多中心学术治理格局,确保学术治理动态过程的手段善与结果善统一。  相似文献
