Attitudinal Correlates of Selected Nigerian Librarians Towards the Use of Information Technology     

Tella Adeyinka 《Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve》2013,23(3):287-305

The explosion of information technology (IT) since the beginning of the 20th century rendered manual-based library systems, in academic, research, special and public libraries, irrelevant. Implementing information technology in the digital age depends largely on librarians' attitudes. This study examines the attitudinal correlates of selected Nigerian librarians towards the use and application of IT in their libraries. Forty-one librarians were surveyed from the four selected automated libraries in state of Oyo in Nigeria form the study's population. Two research questions were developed to guide the study. The results indicate that four out of the five variables age, gender, educational qualifications and prior knowledge of IT significantly correlate with the librarians' attitudes towards IT. The other variable, IT anxiety, correlates negatively with the librarians' attitudes towards IT. Findings further show that all the five variables significantly predict librarian's attitude towards IT with prior IT experience showing the greatest predictive effect. Based on these findings, libraries in the developing countries should consider sending their librarians, who do not have knowledge of IT, to IT training in order to remove fear and anxiety hindering them from developing a better attitude towards the use of IT in their libraries.  相似文献

“后4%时代”教育经费管理制度建设：挑战与超越--基于甘肃省定西市、临夏州和陇南市的调查     

金东海  蔺海沣  安亚萍 《开放教育研究》2013,(5)

2012年,财政性教育经费占GDP比例4%的目标已实现。进入后4%时代,我国将以更充足、更公平、更高效的教育经费投入来助推贫困地区教育事业的科学发展。教育经费增加后,贫困地区如何用好、管好教育经费,成为完善教育经费管理制度的重要任务。本文在对甘肃省定西市、临夏州和陇南市教育部门和部分学校调查访谈的基础上,对教育经费当前在分配机制、监督机制与评估机制等方面存在的问题进行了分析,并探讨了后4%时代我国教育经费管理制度建设面临的挑战。基于此,文章提出了以下建议：制定完善的“教育投入法”,优化教育经费分配结构;加强教育经费监督体系标准化建设,提高教育经费监管效益;形成“充满活力,富有效率”的教育经费使用评估体系。  相似文献   

The new compulsory schooling age policy in NSW,Australia: ethnicity,ability and gender considerations     

Carol Reid  Helen Young 《教育政策杂志》2013,28(6):795-814

The new schooling-leaving age policy in New South Wales, a state in Australia, requires all students to stay at school until they are 17?years old. The policy was introduced in January 2010, with little warning and, it appears, little consideration of its impact in complex contexts. In south-western Sydney, the most diverse region in the city, the impact is just being felt. In this paper, we draw on Ball’s approach to policy, maintaining ‘the complexity and scope of policy analysis – from an interest in the workings of the state to a concern with contexts of practice and the distributional outcomes of policy’. The paper explores the impact of the increase in school-leaving age on the curriculum, and the implications for ethnically diverse schools, and for students with learning and behavioural issues. Interviews with principals, teachers, parents and students suggest that there are dimensions of gender, ethnicity and ability to consider when responding to the new policy. Many schools find a lack of opportunity or too much competition for opportunities, and limited pathways. Whole school change is restricted by inadequate resourcing in some schools and by insufficient social networks in their communities.  相似文献

Mature and younger students' reasons for making the transition from further education into higher education     

Velda McCune  Jenny Hounsell  Hazel Christie  Viviene E. Cree  Lyn Tett 《Teaching in Higher Education》2013,18(6):691-702

This paper reviews findings from a longitudinal study of students making the transition from FE to an ancient university. This paper compares the younger and older students' reasons for higher education study. Our analysis of the quantitative data suggests that the older students had different reasons for entering university. We use the qualitative data to investigate the meanings participants attributed to higher education study in order to make sense of the patterns in the quantitative data, drawing on Wenger's perspectives on identity development as encompassing participants' trajectories in relation to communities of practice. The findings show a positive picture of the motivations of the whole cohort but the mature students seemed to have a particularly rich understanding of the meaning and relevance of their studies. The study therefore has implications for policy-makers and teachers as they seek to make use of the positive aspects of greater diversity.  相似文献
