Influence of improved teaching practices on student satisfaction ratings for two undergraduate units at an Australian university     

Barbara Stewart  Peter Speldewinde  Benjamin Ford 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2018,43(4):598-611

To track the quality of instruction delivered at the University of Western Australia, the university surveys all units using its Students’ Unit Reflective Feedback (SURF) metrics, and faculties use these metrics to benchmark student satisfaction. Consequently, teaching staff are actively encouraged to adopt teaching practices that will increase the average levels of these metrics. Using a ‘before-after’ approach, we compared these metrics before and after the implementation of improved teaching practices that addressed specific weaknesses identified through student responses for two undergraduate units. Despite the implementation of improved teaching practices, SURF scores did not increase significantly for the two units assessed, due possibly to the components of the academic programme covered by the SURF questions, the field-based nature of the units, and the difficulty in measuring an increase in the SURF scores of units which already score highly. This poor sensitivity of the SURF metrics to the implementation of improved teaching practices could have implications for their use for performance assessment by the university.  相似文献   

Identity policies of education: struggles for inclusion and exclusion in Peru and Colombia     

Lorenza B. Fontana 《教育政策杂志》2019,34(3):351-373

ABSTRACT

Policy initiatives that seek to account for ethno-cultural differences in education and schooling have become increasingly popular over the past few decades. These include affirmative action measures and bilingual education models. The rationale for the implementation of these policies focuses on their potential to rectify historical discrimination by both levelling horizontal inequalities and granting equal value to different cultures and languages in the schooling process. In this framework, however, ethnic communities are often treated as discrete and static social aggregates, and social heterogeneity and spillover effects between groups are disregarded. This paper draws on empirical case studies from Colombia and Peru to show how identity policies of education can increase inter-ethnic competition, leading to protracted social conflicts. These outcomes, beyond negatively impacting local communities, raise important dilemmas surrounding the theoretical and operational foundations of these popular policy measures.  相似文献   

举证责任与证明责任     

宾文高  张敬斌 《广东技术师范学院学报》2003,(3):7-10

举证责任与证明责任的关系问题一直是法学界争论的一个热点。众说纷纭，莫衷一是，但概括起来，主要有以下三种观点：同一说，证明责任即举证责任；从属说，两者是从属关系；举证责任与证明责任是两个不同的概念。笔者认为，举证责任与证明责任含义不同，两者之间既有联系又有区别。  相似文献   

试论强化行政诉讼原告的辩论权     

高新华 《常熟理工学院学报》2002,16(3):41-43

设置严格的程序规则是各国行政诉讼中保障原告辩论权的通常做法。为了体现诉讼民主，实现行政诉讼的价值，必须强化原告的辩论权。行政诉讼可以分为辩论而收集证据的阶段，为确认证据而进行法庭调查和辩论的阶段以及法官根据辩论结果作出裁判的阶段。强化原告辩论权可从以下几方面着手；原告应有足够的手段取得必要的证据；双方当事人应有充分的机会在公开的法庭上提出主张和证据，并互相质证，辩论；辩论的效力必须得到确认；法院应保障当事人的平等辩论权。  相似文献

金钱会性质新论     

饶怀民 《湖南城市学院学报》2000,21(4):50-55

金钱会是太平天国时期活跃于浙江南部的一个秘密社会组织.长期以来,史学界对金钱会的性质颇存歧见.从金钱会的领导骨干、会员成份、入会凭证、结社宗旨等方面来看,金钱会既不是"天地会的流派”,也不完全属于"教门”,更不是"农民的魔教团体”,而是一个为响应太平天国农民起义建立起来的亦教亦会的社会组织.  相似文献

中国藏族地区的民间信仰繁多,由来复杂,对当地民众的生活产生了独特的影响,是中国民间文化、社会习俗的有机组成部分。近代西藏拉萨地区虽然号称“法区”,但仍然拥有多种藏传佛教之外的民间信仰,在众多的中国藏区信仰习俗中占有不可忽视的地位,与其他藏区并无重大差别。  相似文献
