When worlds collide: identity,culture and the lived experiences of research when ‘teaching-led’     

John G. Sharp  Brian Hemmings  Russell Kay  Carol Callinan 《Journal of Further & Higher Education》2015,39(5):612-644

This article presents detailed findings from the qualitative or interpretive phase of a mixed-methods case study focusing on the professional identities and lived experiences of research among six lecturers working in different capacities across the field of education in a ‘teaching-led’ higher education institution. Building upon the quantitative phase published earlier in this journal, factors both facilitating (e.g. research infrastructure, support for doctoral study) and constraining (e.g. time, space, workload, critical mass, ‘practitioner bond professionalism’, ‘organisational socialisation’, networks, roles and responsibilities, power relationships) research activity are identified. These are considered in the context of an institution often recruiting staff with ‘non-traditional’ backgrounds from within ‘the professions’ (e.g. from schools and colleges without doctorates) looking to become more ‘research-informed’ and establish a more vibrant and sustainable research culture. Recommendations for further development focus on ‘identity transitions’ and ‘cultural transformation’, emphasising the importance of research leadership and its distribution throughout the organisation. With current trends towards the apparent intensification and prioritisation of research activity over teaching, findings are considered particularly important for institutions of a similar nature to the one described here, for education departments in larger institutions also on similar journeys, and in light of an anticipated increase in demand for research activity arising from the expansion of higher education provision in further education and the private sector, where recruitment from within ‘the professions’ to teach across ‘vocational’ programmes is common.  相似文献   

Academic workload: the silent barrier to the implementation of technology-enhanced learning strategies in higher education     

Mary Sarah-Jane Gregory  Jason Michael Lodge 《Distance Education》2015,36(2):210-230

The effect of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) strategies in higher education has arguably been transformative despite the not-insignificant barriers existing in this context. Throughout the discourse very little attention has been paid to those primarily responsible for this implementation—academic teaching staff. This paper aims to highlight the impact of academic workload allocations, an often silent barrier to the uptake of TEL strategies in higher education. We will discuss the effects of academic identity and culture, preferential time allocation to associative activities, academic technological capacity, university policies and workload and funding models on the uptake, and implementation on TEL in higher education. Our aim is to highlight the risks to staff, students and institutions should these concerns not be addressed and to propose a model for utilisation by all staff responsible for implementing flexible workload models supportive of further implementation of TEL strategies across the sector.  相似文献   

Perceived severity of school bullying in elementary schools based on participants’ roles     

Li Ming Chen  Wen Cheng 《教育心理学》2015,35(4):484-496

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceived severity of school bullying among participants with different roles (victims, bullies, bullies/victims and non-involved individuals) and to determine whether interactions between type of bullying and participant roles exist. Two Olweus-like global items and a revised School Bullying Severity Scale for elementary students were used in this study. A total of 1816 valid surveys completed by students in grades 5 and 6 (mean age = 11.5, SD = .84) were collected. Data were analysed using a mixed-model two-way ANOVA. The results revealed a significant main effect of type of bullying. Physical and verbal bullying were perceived as more severe than relational and cyberbullying. A significant two-way interaction between bullying category and participant role was also identified. Bullies did not perceive the four types of victimisation behaviours differently, whereas victims and bullies/victims both rated physical victimisation as most severe and cyber-victimisation as least severe. However, effect sizes were small. Implications for bullying prevention and intervention are discussed.  相似文献   

美国作家罗斯《人性的污点》“身份情节”评析     

宋继红 《辽宁师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2015,(2):239-243

菲利普·罗斯是美国著名犹太小说作家,《人性的污点》是其美国三部曲的最后一部。罗斯在这部小说中遵循并超越了他称之为"身份情节"的体裁。这部小说通过各种方式将种族身份解释为种类、符号或生物学特征,最终揭示了主人公科尔曼种族身份的最具有决定性作用的特征就是他的隐秘性。对于罗斯来说,秘密不仅是身份的来源,也是欲望和叙述的驱动力。《人性的污点》不仅仅通过种族身份的掩藏与揭露探究了种族问题,也揭示了人性的很多污点,譬如婚外恋、乱伦等。但小说所有的辅助线索都是为了服务、突出种族问题这个大前提,背景的叙述也是为了给科尔曼和弗妮娅的恋情铺平道路。  相似文献   

The risks of ‘university speak’: relationship management and identity negotiation by mature students off campus     

Neil O’Boyle 《International Studies in Sociology of Education》2015,25(2):93-111

Research finds that participation in higher education is generally empowering for mature students but that it can also create tensions in their off-campus relationships. This article reports on findings from an ongoing study of the experiences of mature students at university in Ireland and draws from interviews with 15 such students in the final year of their studies. Following similar research by Baxter and Britton in the UK, the article considers how mature students experience and represent changes in identities and social relationships brought about by entry to higher education. Specifically, the article focuses on the risks associated with using newly acquired academic language (or ‘university speak’) off campus. The findings reported here complement existing research and offer support for Baxter and Britton’s suggestion that mature students often experience compartmentalisation and fragmentation in their self-identities.  相似文献   

足球德比文化研究          下载免费PDF全文

徐冬立 《河北体育学院学报》2019,33(6):21-25

运用文献资料法和专家访谈法，对足球德比文化的现象与内涵、形成因素及其特征、形成的理论解释进行了研究。指出，德比现象与内涵都随社会变化得到延展，现象上从最初的地理对抗向文化领域甚至更大范围扩展，内涵上对德比的概念界定从客观条件向主观条件延伸。认为，群体间的冲突、同侪、偏见对德比的形成和延续有显著作用，显示出德比的形成因素具有竞争性、相似性、差异性三方面的特征。“争议密度”和“竞争对手威胁论”是用来解释德比形成原因的两大理论，经过比较分析，认为竞争对手威胁论可以更为清晰地解释德比的形成与延续的内涵，克服了以往研究的局限性。对于我国足球而言，探究足球德比文化具有重要现实意义，通过借鉴西方的成熟经验培育具有中国特色的足球文化，亦有助于我国足球“三步走”战略目标的实现。  相似文献   

Developing a scale for measuring the perceived value of cultural institutions     

John Armbrecht 《Cultural Trends》2014,23(4):252-272

Previous research into the value of cultural institutions has emphasized a variety of benefits arising from cultural institutions such as social, educational and health-related impacts. An economic assessment of cultural institutions is usually made in monetary units. This one-dimensional assessment of value has been criticized for being elusive, disregarding the complex and multidimensional nature of cultural values. This article suggests scales for measuring the value of cultural institutions. Based on previous research, and an exploratory study on the perceived value of cultural institutions, this article describes the development of a scale using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Six factors comprise the scale: social, educational, health, image, identity and financial effects. The scale may be used to describe and compare the value of cultural institutions qualitatively. Conclusions about the perceived contribution of different institutions may be possible. From a policy perspective, the scale may allow an understanding of the contribution individuals with different socioeconomic backgrounds perceive the cultural institution as making.  相似文献

Help that hurts? Perceptions of intergroup assistance     

《Int J Intercult Relat》2016

The current research, guided theoretically by the Intergroup Helping as Status Relations Model, explored how high and low status groups (Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs) perceive offers of help from the high to the low status group. Ninety-three Arab and Jewish participants were asked to imagine and evaluate offers of help from Jews to Arabs in Israel. Consistent with the hypothesis that members of high and low status groups would have different perspectives and goals in their relations, Israeli Arabs viewed help by Israeli Jews more as a way to reinforce existing hierarchy and as a way of asserting the higher groups’ domination. Recognizing the different orientations of members of high and low status groups to potentially conciliatory actions, such as helping behavior, can enhance understanding of the dynamics of intergroup relations and conflict and reveal factors that might fuel intergroup misunderstandings and tensions, which can represent a critical step to improving intergroup relations.  相似文献   

English Proficiency,Identity, Anxiety,and Intergroup Attitudes: US Americans’ Perceptions of Chinese     

Makiko Imamura  Racheal A. Ruble  Yan Bing Zhang 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2016,45(6):526-539

Guided by the Common Ingroup Identity Model and Berry’s acculturation framework, this study examined the roles that perceptions of language proficiency, cultural identity, and communication anxiety had on intergroup attitudes and stereotypes in the American–Chinese contact context. Serial mediation analyses with 10,000 bootstrap samples revealed that perceived English proficiency of a Chinese contact had significant indirect effects on affective and behavioral attitudes toward Chinese through American participants’ perceptions of their contact’s host and home culture identification and communication anxiety. Perceived English proficiency had an indirect effect only on positive stereotypes through the Chinese contact’s perceived identification with home culture.  相似文献
