Students’ writing ‘in transition’ from A-levels to university: how assessment drives students’ understandings,practices and discourses     

Sally Baker 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2017,42(1):18-36

The lament that ‘students can’t write’ remains loud and defiant, even after years of research pointing to the myriad factors that make students’ writing challenging, particularly when they move into university. This paper reports on a longitudinal, ethnographic study which explored students’ writing ‘in transition’, from A-levels to university in the UK, through the critical lens offered by the academic literacies conceptual framing. This paper offers critical analysis of the ways that students, teachers and institutions position writing at A-level and university, exploring the assumptions and beliefs that underpin their understandings and practices using Ivani?’s framework of discourses of writing. The analysis proposes that the centrality of assessment in the treatment of language at both levels creates an ‘assessment discourse of writing’, which originates in school, and becomes a defining and restrictive frame for students’ writing as they move into higher education. The analysis further suggests that assessment is the principal cause for the students’ challenges with adapting to the writing requirements of university. Moreover, assessment is used as a metalanguage for discussing writing at A-levels, and can become an unhelpful ‘anchor of continuance’ for students as they move into university.  相似文献   

The influence of academic culture on quality management system ISO 9001 maintenance within Malaysian universities     

Siti Arni Basir  John Davies  Jacqueline Douglas  Alexander Douglas 《Journal of Higher Education Policy & Management》2017,39(3):320-340

This study investigates the influence of the elements of academic culture on quality management system ISO 9001 maintenance within Malaysian universities. There is a dearth of empirical studies on maintaining ISO 9001, particularly in the higher education context. From the literature review, academic culture was classified according to four elements – academic freedom, individualism, professionalism and collegiality. Two case studies were conducted within Malaysian universities that had been ISO 9001-certified for 5 years. At the time of this research, these two were the only universities that had certification for their entire organisation. (Most organisations gain certification for specific departments). The findings showed that academic freedom, individualism and collegiality had worked against ISO 9001 maintenance, while professionalism had influenced ISO 9001 maintenance both positively and negatively. The opposites of individualism (teamwork) and collegiality (managerialism) had supported ISO 9001 maintenance in one of the cases.  相似文献

College/University Counseling Centers Supporting Study Away: Challenges and Opportunities     

Charles C. Morse  Janet Dee Spoltore  Paul Galvinhill 《Journal of College Student Psychotherapy》2017,31(4):325-335

Research points to significant numbers of students on college campuses experiencing mental health distress and an ever increasing number of college students who are choosing to make an off-campus educational experience a part of their college careers. When we consider both of these trends together, it is quite apparent that a significant number of students with mental health concerns will spend periods of time studying away from campus, with converging concerns among college mental health and study away professionals about how to best support these students. This article seeks to outline both challenges and opportunities inherent in the collaboration between campus professionals in supporting students with mental health issues before and during their study away experiences.  相似文献

Young children’s reading for pleasure with digital books: six key facets of engagement     

Natalia Kucirkova  Karen Littleton  Teresa Cremin 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2017,47(1):67-84

This paper offers a new characterisation of young children’s (2–8 years) reading for pleasure (RfP) with digital books. This characterisation is rooted in a re-contextualisation of Anna Craft’s conceptualisation of twenty-first century childhoods in Creativity and education futures (Stoke on Trent, Trentham, 2011) and a review of the literature concerning young children’s RfP with digital books. The paper develops Craft’s (2011) work by considering the ways in which digital books can resource the ‘4Ps of digital childhood’ in reading for pleasure. Six facets of reader engagement, nested within Craft’s (2011) 4Ps, are presented: affective, creative, interactive, shared, sustained and personalised reading engagements. It is argued that this characterisation of young children’s reading engagements can enrich our understanding of the affordances of digital books in relation to RfP in the twenty-first century. The paper thus offers an important new contribution, going beyond established work in the field, which typically explores digital books in relation to children’s learning, product design or developmental outcomes.  相似文献   

王世贞作《金瓶梅》新证     

霍现俊 《商丘师范学院学报》2001,17(5):28-30

《金瓶梅》的作者非王世贞莫属。根据有四：①“兰陵笑笑生”中的“兰陵”并非地名,而是运用藏词艺术手法隐含作者姓王,是一个孝子;②弄珠客《序》采用析字格手法,表明《金瓶梅》的创作主旨是嘲弄姓朱的皇帝;③王世贞的父亲王Yu被杀与嘉帝有直接关系,替父报仇是王世贞作《金瓶梅》的主要动机和根本目的;④作品中的明代三个真实人物是王世贞的暗示性符号。  相似文献
