What price the building of world-class universities? Academic pressure faced by young lecturers at a research-centered University in China     

Mei Tian 《Teaching in Higher Education》2017,22(8):957-974

This study explores the challenges faced by young lecturers in managerial transformation in elite Chinese academic institutions which aim to develop into world-class universities. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews, the paper discusses how a group of lecturers on tenure-track contracts at a research university in China perceived the impacts of this managerial personnel reform. The study revealed intensified academic pressure and consequent feelings of insecurity, uncertainty and anxiety among the participants. Rigid tenure requirements pushed down research quality, and detracted from the efforts the participants could have devoted to teaching. Further negative impacts were strengthened power hierarchies and increasingly gendered nature of the academic culture.  相似文献   

Analysis of academic administrators’ attitudes: annual evaluations and factors that improve teaching     

Brian D. Cherry  Nathan Grasse  Dale Kapla  Brad Hamel 《Journal of Higher Education Policy & Management》2017,39(3):296-306

This article examines academic administrators’ attitudes towards the academic evaluation process in the US and those factors that are utilised to improve teaching. We use path regressions to examine satisfaction with evaluation procedures, as well as the direct and indirect effects of these factors on perceptions of whether the evaluation process facilitates quality instruction. With increased pressure for accountability being placed on higher education, it is important to ensure that we are meeting both public and academic expectations. The evaluation process is an important tool to ensure the university’s goals and values are articulated and that academics can be successful in their individual career paths. The problem is most research finds flaws with the current method of evaluation, and academics and academic administrators are sceptical about the process and results. We find there are environmental factors that influence academic administrators’ perceptions of academic evaluations and the ability to improve classroom instruction.  相似文献   

Reading to Learn or Learning to Read? Engaging College Students in Course Readings     

Mary Margaret Kerr  Kristen M. Frese 《College Teaching》2017,65(1):28-31

Despite instructors' belief that class readings are integral to the learning process, only 20–30% of undergraduate students complete required readings. Failure to complete course reading has been associated with declines in exam and research performance. This article first offers a brief review of the literature on why students do not complete course readings: 1) unpreparedness, 2) lack of motivation, 3) time constraints, and 4) an underestimation of reading importance. We then identify approaches that encourage students to read, enjoy reading, and develop metacognitive knowledge, shown to improve learning.  相似文献   

英语课堂教学中“三元”活动模式探究     

兰郑勇 《成都教育学院学报》2007,21(5):89-90,106

“三元”活动是指在课堂教学中开展分析性、创造性、实践性的活动。教师要保证每个学生能够参与并乐于参与“三元”活动,达到教学目标的要求,取得良好的教学效果,就要在设计活动时注重:鉴别“三元”能力,制定活动计划,科学分组分工,进行活动排序;在组织课堂活动时注重:互动化、动态化、合作化、监控化和评价化。  相似文献

Effects of personality traits and social status on academic achievement: Gender differences     

Marko Jano&#x;evi&#x;  Boban Petrovi&#x; 《Psychology in the schools》2019,56(4):497-509

This study investigates the contribution of personality traits (HEXACO traits and Schizotypy) and social status dimensions (sociometric and perceived popularity) in understanding boys’ and girls’ respective academic achievement. The sample included 163 elementary school students from Serbia, aged 14–15 (87 girls and 76 boys). Regression analysis reveals that personality traits explain a similar amount of academic achievement variance in two gender groups (22% vs. 20% in girls’ favor), but social status proves to be a better predictor of academic achievement for boys (27% vs. 4% in boys’ favor). High Conscientiousness, perceived popularity as well as low extraversion turned out to be related to girls’ academic achievement. Low Schizotypy and Honesty‐Humility, as well as high openness, sociometric, and perceived popularity turned out to be related to boys’ academic achievement. Conscientiousness appears not to be related to boys’ academic achievement. The results are discussed and recommendations for improving educational practices are offered.  相似文献

3-（6-溴吡啶-2）-2-（2-氟-6-氯苯）-噻唑酮-4的电子结构与抗HIV活性问关系的量子化学研究     

刘志国文瑞明  赵学辉 《湘南学院学报》2004,25(2):47-50

采用AMI方法,对3-(6-溴吡啶-2)-2-(2-氟-6-氯苯)-噻唑酮-4(BPFCIZO)进行了量子化学计算,给出了分子的几何构型、原子的净电荷、键级、前沿分子轨道组成与能级、前沿轨道电子密度等参数．结果表明BPFCIZO分子的稳定构型呈蝴蝶状,噻唑酮环为主活性区,其上的2位C、4位N和6位O等原子很可能是其与RT酶作用的活性位点．  相似文献
