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

社会纠纷解决机制:一元与多元机制选择研究     

谢勇 《安顺学院学报》2017,19(5)

近年来,我国调控社会的模式历经了社会管控———社会管理———社会治理的转变,过去单纯依托(信赖)法律(或少数民族地区习惯法)定纷止争的一元思维,即诉讼全能主义虽得到较大程度的改变,一些国内研究纠纷解决机制的学者也将学术视野从诉讼全能主义转移到多元化纠纷解决机制上,但一元与多元纠纷解决机制之争从未停歇,诸如"诉讼胜于一切"司法绝对权威"多元化解某某模式"等观点及路径层出不穷.笔者在结合村寨调查基础上,深入对比两种机制的优劣,认为多元更适应时代之变革现状,并提出了完善多元纠纷解决机制的一些构想.  相似文献

Florida and Puerto Rico Secondary Science Teachers’ Knowledge and Teaching of Climate Change Science     

Benjamin C. Herman  Allan Feldman  Vanessa Vernaza-Hernandez 《International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education》2017,15(3):451-471

Misconceptions about climate change science are pervasive among the US public. This study investigated the possibility that these misconceptions may be reflective of science teachers’ knowledge and teaching of climate change science. Florida and Puerto Rico secondary science teachers who claim to teach extensively about climate change were surveyed in regard to their conceptions of climate change science and the climate change-related topics they teach. Results show that many teachers hold naïve views about climate change (e.g. that ozone layer depletion is a primary cause of climate change) and climate change science (e.g. that it must be based on controlled experiments for it to be valid). In addition, teachers in both groups neglect crucial topics such as how evidence for climate change is developed and the social, political, and economic dimensions of climate change. Our results suggest the need for teachers to understand how to teach climate change and the nature of climate change science using authentic contexts that promote effective socioscientific decision-making and climate change mitigation.  相似文献
