School improvement initiatives are needed to better meet the needs of underprivileged students, to reduce underachievement and to break a continuing cycle of disadvantage. This article describes part of a school improvement initiative in New Zealand that provided additional funding for school nurse and social worker services in nine secondary schools with the most disadvantaged students in New Zealand. It describes the nature and delivery of services provided by the social workers in these schools. In addition, the article reports changes over time in staff and student views about school climate including a comparison with non-participating schools of similar socioeconomic status. The findings indicated that school climate is a useful intermediate measure of the effectiveness of school improvement initiatives. There were significant improvements in staff views about school climate over time, with staff views about school climate becoming more favourable on scales measuring Improvements in the Last 12 Months and Support for Ethnic Diversity compared to eight non-participating schools. Student views were more favourable on scales measuring Satisfaction with School, Support for Achievement and Support for Ethnic Diversity, compared to the non-participating schools.  相似文献   

Student Perceptions of Social Loafing in Undergraduate Business Classroom Teams     

Avan R. Jassawalla  Avinash Malshe  Hemant Sashittal 《Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education》2008,6(2):403-426

There is a rich body of research devoted to the causes and remedies of social loafing in workplace teams. However, the social loafing phenomenon remains underinvestigated from the perspective of students in undergraduate business classroom teams. In particular, how they define and respond to loafing remains unknown. This article reports findings from a two-stage study that shows social loafing as a more complex construct than current conceptions suggest. Moreover, students avoid confronting loafers and prefer to have instructors administer postpriori justice based on their self-report of individual contributions. Based on the findings and recent writings, the article speculates on the causes of these student responses to social loafing in classroom teams.  相似文献   

A social theory perspective on e-learning     

Karim A. Remtulla 《Learning Inquiry》2008,2(2):139-149

Current research on e-learning that focuses predominantly on instructional programming, and on various hardware and software, essentially neglects the more socio-cultural perspectives on e-learning. With this in mind, this article proceeds from a social theory perspective with a more socio-culturally engaged look at e-learning for workplace learning and pedagogy. In so doing, this article proposes a theoretical framework derived from the social theory of Jean Baudrillard (1929–2007), with a focus on his seminal, metaphorical notion of ‘simulation’. Finally, this metaphor is applied as a theoretical framework to discern the socio-cultural significance of the present trajectory of technological environments for workplace learning and their potential for conveying socially and (multi)culturally relevant workplace learning pedagogy.  相似文献

刘立强  彭福扬 《科学．经济．社会》2006,24(3):71-74

经济利益至上的技术创新观使技术创新的社会功能单一化,造成了技术创新行为的社会失范,因此必须接受新的科学发展观的调适与整合。生态化技术创新是一种新的技术创新观,在以经济增长为中心的前提下,谋求自然生态、经济效益、社会和谐以及人的全面发展的良性互动与协同共进。提出从生态化技术创新的社会认同性、制度化规范、社会创新系统等方面的社会整合,促进生态化技术创新社会功能的实现。  相似文献

纪律的限度：以涂尔干与福柯的教育理论为视角     

沈洪成 《教育学术月刊》2011,(3):20-22,26

涂尔干从功能主义的视角出发,认为纪律精神有助于社会团结,对个体的自由也是有益的。福柯基于后结构主义的立场,认为纪律是无所不在的微观控制技术,个体可能在纪律的笼罩下变得顺从。比较涂尔干和福柯观点可以发现,纪律在主体构造过程中具有一定的意义,也存在局限。当代中国学校教育要超越纪律的限度,需要从刻板的规章走向自主个体的培养。  相似文献   

Do your social media lead you to make social deal purchases? Consumer-generated social referrals for sales via social commerce     

《International Journal of Information Management》2018

The advent of social commerce has resulted in a new business model for e-commerce. Although studies on this business model have increased over time, they have paid less attention to its core business model: consumer-generated social influence on sales on a social commerce site. Therefore, in this paper, we examine the effect on sales of social sharing, such as Facebook “likes” and Twitter tweets, which generate social influence, using data from major social commerce companies. We find that consumer-generated social referrals regarding deals significantly boost sales in social commerce. When we examine deals involved in national sales, this finding holds only for Facebook but not for tweets. These findings have the implication for managers that not all social referrals are meaningful in increasing sales for their business.  相似文献   

In the eyes of the beholder: The relevance of skin tone and facial features of African American female models to advertising effectiveness     

Subir Sengupta 《Communication Research Reports》2013,30(2):210-220

The increasing use of light‐complexioned black models with Caucasian features in ads has been roundly criticized. This study was designed to test if black female models with Caucasian features are more effective in ads than black models with “classical” features. A 2×2 factorial design was used with two models (mixed‐race and “classical” black) and two products (beauty‐related and beauty‐unrelated). MANOVA tests showed that regardless of the type of product, the type of model did not make a significant difference on the measures of advertising effectiveness. Neither were the interaction effects significant.  相似文献   

How common is the common good? Moving beyond idealistic notions of deliberative democracy in education     

《Teaching and Teacher Education》2018

Assumptions based on deliberative democratic theory have dominated scholarship of democratic citizenship within political science and educational research. However, both fields have produced scholarship that raises questions regarding the efficacy of the deliberative model of democratic education. This article presents a critical synthesis that highlights the major trends of deliberative democratic theory from the field of political science, while making connections to education specific literature. The shift, away from idealistic notions toward a model of deliberative democracy that considers identity, group interests, and power differences within society, supports similar efforts to revisit democratic theory within civic education. The article concludes with recommendations for a revised, more realistic, conceptualization of civic education.  相似文献   

Insights into user engagement on social media. Case study of a higher education institution     

María del Rocío Bonilla  Eva Perea  August Corrons 《Journal of Marketing for HIGHER EDUCATION》2020,30(1):145-160

ABSTRACT

The interactions of users in social networks have been analyzed in the literature as sources of information on their ability to generate engagement among stakeholders in higher education institutes, which make more tactical than strategic use of social networks. This study helps identify which variables generate greater participation in Instagram users, providing strategic proposals for digital marketing. From the codification of all the publications published by a university in a social network site during the period of one year, a comparative analysis was carried out through a multivariate model. The results provide important and timely implications for both universities and higher education professionals. Our findings suggest that higher education marketing specialists should develop stronger and more consistent communication strategies to establish more valuable relationships with stakeholders. The administrators of the social networks of higher education institutions can find patterns in those publications that generate a greater participation in this study.  相似文献
