Arts education partnerships: sources of harmony and dissonance with cultural institutions’ collaborative efforts     

Daniel H. Bowen  Brian Kisida 《Cultural Trends》2019,28(5):379-390

ABSTRACT

Due to budget constraints, schools in the United States have increasingly turned to community arts organizations for support. School-community arts partnership stakeholders collaborate because of shared missions to provide students with valuable arts learning experiences. Investigations of these initiatives indicate that these partnerships improve arts learning opportunities and increase public support and resources for arts education. However, not much is known about the experiences and perspectives of the arts organizations that participate in these partnerships. Coordinating collective efforts with a multitude of institutions and interests poses challenges. In this study, we examine survey data collected from arts organization administrators who participated in a large-scale school-community arts partnership initiative. We find that these organizations are generally positive about their impacts on students’ educational outcomes, but there is substantial variation in these views. We also find that organizations differ in their levels of support for these collective efforts. Sources of this variation appear to be attributable to organizations’ preexisting resources and extent to which they are established. While this difference in levels of support is potentially inevitable, we find evidence that the operations handled by the “backbone” organization, i.e. the initiative’s facilitators and overseers, can significantly influence organizations’ levels of support for these efforts. Organizations are more likely to support these collaborative efforts when they believe the backbone organization ensures transparency with initiative operations, provides regular, effective communication, and effectively resolves competing priorities.  相似文献   

实用主义体育与体育教学内容的实用性分析     

蔺新茂 《北京体育大学学报》2016,39(11):82-88

摘要：实用主义体育是沐浴着美国实用主义哲学与实用主义教育学的基本思想，承继并改造欧洲自然主义体育的基本理念和内容发展而来。20世纪初传入我国后，促使我国的学校体育教学内容发生了一系列变化，这些变化在某种程度上，促进了我国学校体育的完善和发展，但同时也造成体育学科的严谨性、科学性和适用性受到损害。这种现象在当今的体育基础教育改革中亦时有隐现，致使我国的基础体育教育受到了一定的影响。为了准确、清晰地研究和把握实用主义体育的精神实质，对体育教育领域的价值和存在的问题，本研究以体育教学内容的选择为着眼点，采用文献资料法，深入分析了自然主义体育与实用主义体育的基本差异，实用主义体育教学内容的理论基础、源流和发展。在充分认识体育教学内容“实用性”基本含义的基础上，研究结论认为，追求体育教学内容“实用性”，首先强调以“体育教学内容”这一核心要素为本，尊重学生作为实用性的基本指向；其次，强调应认识并厘清体育的本体价值和工具价值，在此基础上，努力对体育教学内容本体价值追求的回归，实现对体育教学内容工具价值的理性“扬弃”。  相似文献   

危机与应对:新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情下的中国体育叙事     

孙科  郇昌店  任慧涛  闫士展  纪成龙  张震  王永顺 《上海体育学院学报》2020,(5):1-15,46

新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情(以下简称"疫情")下的体育叙事,不仅要阐发疫情期间体育事件及其社会意义,更应揭示不同体育要素在社会发展中的功能与作用,将对体育现实问题的思考转化为未来体育转型的应对策略。基于叙事的角度,以访谈的方式,探讨体育产业发展、东京奥运会延期、体育组织治理、奥运备战、居家体育、体育在线教学、体育中考等热点事件和话题。认为:①疫情对体育产业的影响呈现持续性、结构性、社会性等特征,在"转危为机"的话语下,应借助政府的积极行为,实现体育行业与体育产业的多层次融合,增强对消费端的刺激,提高体育企业的抗风险能力,最大程度地释放后疫情时代体育产业发展动力;②东京奥运会延期举办凸显国际奥委会内部治理的困境与危机,引发对中国体育赛事治理效能的思考,给奥运备战带来挑战,促使运动训练由传统化模式向集群化工业模式转变;③空间重叠与权力空间渗透造就居家体育的特殊"脱域"空间,成为"家庭-学校-社区"体育互动发展的催化剂,引发体育教学、社区体育、群众体育活动方式的改变,形成自觉行为更高的群众体育"在地化"驱动模式;④在疫情防控期间,体育话语在不同语境中的表达、转型与辩驳为体育话语转为文化资源提供契机,促进文化与体育的互动与整合,深刻影响人们的体育观念。  相似文献   

A quantitative and model-driven approach to assessing higher education in the United States of America     

Zuqing Huang 《Quality in Higher Education》2016,22(1):78-95

University ranking or higher education assessment in general has been attracting more and more public attention over the years. However, the subjectivity-based evaluation index and indicator selections and weights that are widely adopted in most existing ranking systems have been called into question. In other words, the objectivity and impartiality of those rankings has been worrisome. To address these concerns, this paper presents a quantitative and model-driven approach to acquiring the evaluation index and indicator weights in the US News & World Report ranking system. Structural equation modelling will be applied to mine non-subjective weights from collected data. The proposed approach will be validated using two groups of United States universities, National Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges, classified by the US News & World Report. Managerial and administrative implications will also be explored. This study shows a very promising future because it opens a new venue for the scholars and practitioners in the higher education assessment field to develop a real-time, scalable and model-driven higher education ranking system.  相似文献   

The construction of women’s social spaces through physical exercise in urban China     

Huan Xiong 《Sport in Society》2019,22(8):1415-1432

Abstract

By applying feminist geographical theories and qualitative research methods, this article reveals Chinese women’s exercise experiences in urban spaces and discusses how women, through physical activity in neighbourhoods, public places and commercial facilities, constructed social spaces of their own. The findings show that exercise spaces are potentially sites for women’s health, well-being, social networking and collective empowerment. They challenge traditional gendered urban spaces by deconstructing the dual structure of ‘public’ and ‘private’ spheres, inducing women to gradually shift from the ‘edge’ to the ‘centre’. Though the spatial differences in women’s physical activities reflect the diversity and dynamics of women’s spatialities, they also imply the continuous social powers on women in exercise fields, where gendered disparities and class stratification may be sustained.  相似文献   

情报学取向的“数据科学与大数据技术”专业人才培养     

陈沫  李广建  陈聪聪 《图书情报工作》2019,63(12):5-11

[目的/意义]情报学作为计算性较强的人文社科学科，具备数据科学的特点，大数据相关技术能为情报学提供有效手段，因此，设立情报学取向的"数据科学与大数据技术"专业，培养具有大数据思维和扎实的情报学专业基础、掌握大数据处理技术及分析理论、并能将其应用于情报学理论与实践的复合型人才，能够促进情报学学科发展。[方法/过程]对国内外大数据相关专业的培养目标和课程设置模式进行调研，总结学科教育发展特色，结合国内的教学资源情况，设计情报学取向的大数据专业人才培养计划。[结果/结论]情报学与大数据既有联系又有不同，情报学为大数据提供了基础研究方法，促进了多源数据融合，拓宽了大数据的应用领域；大数据为情报学研究提供了更多的可能性、丰富了研究方法，提升了研究效率、扩大了研究范围。情报学取向的大数据与数据科学专业人才的培养，既有其必要性，又有其不可替代性。学科体系需进一步改革创新，设立更多紧密结合大数据与情报学专业的新兴课程，如文献大数据分析、用户大数据研究等，系统地培养学生将情报学领域知识与计算机技术和大数据技术融合创新的能力。  相似文献   

Aiming for autonomy: formative peer assessment in a final-year undergraduate course     

Brent Carnell 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2016,41(8):1269-1283

This article takes a dual focus on the theme of student formative peer assessment. On the one hand it offers a thorough literature review in this field, while on the other it unpacks a case study of curriculum design where peer assessment has been adopted. The practical example draws on recent changes made to a third- and final-year undergraduate research dissertation course in a UK architectural school. Although peer assessment worked quite well in this small setting, similar findings might be uncovered when scaled up to larger cohorts, as well as other disciplines and year groups. The research findings are certainly relevant for other contexts. Qualitative research from a focus group with six students on the course informs the empirical body of the paper. Through engaging with students’ reflections, as well as the relevant literature, and reflexively looking at the curriculum changes, this paper discusses some of the benefits and drawbacks that can arise from peer assessment in this context. Peer assessment is not without its challenges and hiccups, but, despite these, the benefit to autonomous critical thinking cannot be understated. And arguably peer assessment is especially germane for final-year undergraduates as they embark on employment or more advanced studies.  相似文献   

我国学校体育设施社会化开放立法的协调性论析     

张奇 《北京体育大学学报》2016,39(4):90-95+100

摘要：学校体育设施社会化开放是我国现行体育事业发展的一项基本政策措施。然而关于学校体育设施社会化开放的立法规定仍然存在一些不协调的地方，需要我们在制度上完善设计，在政策措施上需要有相关的立法予以保障。通过文献分析法与比较分析法的运用，可以发现从我国现行立法体制来看，中央立法未能确立学校体育设施社会化开放立法的基本框架，而地方关于学校体育设施社会化开放立法的合法性与可操作性又不足，中央立法与地方立法不协调已严重制约我国学校体育设施社会化开放政策的实施。基于统计分析与规范论证方法的考察，建议我国应完善学校体育设施社会化开放立法，加强《体育法》顶层设计、实现学校体育社会化立法的纵向与横向协调，同时完善体育立法技术，保障学校体育设施社会化开放制度的实施及其效果。通过科学谋划与系统推进才能不断创新、不断完善我国学校体育设施社会化开放制度的有效实施，惠及社会大众，为我国体育治理现代化事业不断添砖加瓦，巩固国家治理现代化的事业大局。  相似文献

张佳佳  孙南  张一民  季盼军 《北京体育大学学报》2016,39(11):68-72

摘要: 目的:对健身竞走的生物力学特征进行分析，以证实健身竞走是一项能够综合走与跑步优势的运动项目。方法:运用实验法、数理统计法，对普通人完成健身竞走、普通健身走和跑步的运动学、动力学指标进行统计分析。结果:无论在常速还是快速时,健身竞走与普通健身走在步长、步速、步频等方面有显著性差异；健身竞走更容易达到较高的速度和更大的运动强度，并且各关节的地面反作用力均非常显著小于常速跑步。结论:健身竞走有利于实现高效的健身效果，并且受伤的可能性小于跑步，是一项非常安全的运动项目，应进行广泛的推广。  相似文献
