Getting ‘What Works’ working: building blocks for the integration of experimental and improvement science     

Amelia Peterson 《International Journal of Research & Method in Education》2016,39(3):299-313

ABSTRACT

As a systemic approach to improving educational practice through research, ‘What Works’ has come under repeated challenge from alternative approaches, most recently that of improvement science. While ‘What Works’ remains a dominant paradigm for centralized knowledge-building efforts, there is need to understand why this alternative has gained support, and what it can contribute. I set out how the core elements of experimental and improvement science can be combined into a strategy to raise educational achievement with the support of evidence from randomized experiments. Central to this combined effort is a focus on identifying and testing mechanisms for improving teaching and learning, as applications of principles from the learning sciences. This article builds on current efforts to strengthen approaches to evidence-based practice and policy in a range of international contexts. It provides a foundation for those who aim to avoid another paradigm war and to accelerate international discussions on the design of systemic education research infrastructure and funding.  相似文献   

Knowledge hustlers: Gendered micro-politics and networking in UK universities     

Emily Yarrow 《British Educational Research Journal》2021,47(3):579-598

This article explores the role of gendered academic networks in the context of research evaluation, and women’s lived experiences of UK universities. Gendered power is conceptualised as an important aspect of inequality regimes, providing insight into how men maintain power and how power dynamics and informal networks function, characterised in this article as ‘the hustle’. A case study comprising 80 in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews was completed in a UK university. Acker’s theory of inequality regimes informed the central analytical framework, and Bradley’s resource-based theory of power was used to explore the power dynamics in the case study. The findings have resulted in the creation of a conceptual framework which theorises the hybridised nature of inequality, gendered power and organisational lived experience, in which inequality regimes and gendered power interact and are mutually reinforced through informal processes. This article argues, from the findings of the empirical research, that in the context of the neoliberal university, inequality regimes and gendered power interact, and are mutually reinforced through informal processes and networks—‘the hustle’.  相似文献   

Investigating gender differences in mathematics by performance levels in the Italian school system     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2021

Amongst the extensive research conducted about girls’ lack of interest in STEM subjects, an issue that is frequently examined is the learning of mathematics. This research investigates the gender gap in mathematics among Italian students based on performance levels, using standardised large-scale data from INVALSI tests. We performed a quantile regression to better understand the differences along the entire score distribution. A latent class model was then estimated to identify groups of students with similar performance levels, taking into account the gender covariate. The results indicate that boys are already ahead from primary education and that there is a general decrease in the performance as students progress through the education stages.  相似文献   

The conundrum research-practice partnerships face with system variability     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2021

Variability is inherent in educational phenomena. Research-practice approaches face a conundrum of how to deal with variability. It can be positive, providing evidence for effective innovation in local sites, but interferes with a goal of consistent effectiveness. Our methods for capitalizing on variation have become sophisticated, and solutions to the unwanted facets of variability are emerging. A working model for how to think about variability and setting expectations about the tolerance levels is proposed.  相似文献

小学数学教学中的表现性评价及其应用     

章勤琼  阳海林  陈肖颖 《课程.教材.教法》2021,41(3):83-89

构建科学合理的评价方式,通过评价更好地了解学生的学习,并以评价改进教学,成为近来教育教学中非常值得关注的话题。表现性评价运用于小学数学教学中,能更好地了解学生的数学理解水平并有效改进教学。以“两位数减一位数退位减法”为例,制定了算理理解的水平框架并设计了表现性任务,对学生的算理理解水平和学习过程进行了测评。最后,合理应用表现性评价框架及测评,有针对性地进行了教学设计,有效促进了学生对算理的理解水平。  相似文献   

基础教育质量的内涵与监测评价理论模型     

李刚  辛涛 《华东师范大学学报(教育科学版)》2021,(4):15-29

对基础教育质量内涵的理解需从形成规定性定义或纲领性定义转向给出描述性定义,包括:(1)教育质量的内涵是多要素、多层面的,需要建立起系统的教育质量观;(2)教育质量的核心是学生的发展;(3)学生的发展应当是全面的;(4)学生的发展是多因素作用的结果。基础教育质量监测评价的理论模型是对质量内涵的结构化呈现,其以CIPO(背景-输入-过程-产出)为框架,从学生发展角度对教育产出进行定义,并遴选关键影响因素,对教育质量的各层面各因素及其相互关系进行考察,最后从教育因素的作用这一视角表征教育质量。我国监测评价工作还需利用教育质量标准对基础教育质量进行明确定义,完善关键影响因素监测,加强对教育质量的追踪调查和实验研究,建构教育质量指数。  相似文献   

资源整合视角下高职院校产教融合绩效评价研究     

陈新民  高飞  张朋  王一涛 《高等工程教育研究》2021,(2):155-162

从资源整合视角出发,产教融合即院校通过与产业界的合作,推动不同资源的重组与优化,从而实现双方的共生演进、有机融通及协同创新。以应用型人才培育能力、科学研究综合竞争能力和市场需求直接满足能力三个维度为切入点设计12项指标,选取718个样本2018年的数据进行分析得出如下结论:高职院校产教融合已推进到主要领域并取得一定成效,但是绩效的整体水平尚待提升,此外绩效的不均衡性也逐步凸显。高职院校产教融合绩效的改进需要政策引导、运行优化以及市场驱动等多重路径的共同作用。本研究对高职院校的高水平建设以及本科院校的应用型转型都具有启发意义。  相似文献
