School climate: perceptual differences between students,parents, and school staff     

Christine M. Ramsey  Adam P. Spira  George W. Rebok 《School Effectiveness & School Improvement》2016,27(4):629-641

Research suggests that school climate can have a great impact on student, teacher, and school outcomes. However, it is often assessed as a summary measure, without taking into account multiple perspectives (student, teacher, parent) or examining subdimensions within the broader construct. In this study, we assessed school climate from the perspective of students, staff, and parents within a large, urban school district using multilevel modeling techniques to examine within- and between-school variance. After adjusting for school-level demographic characteristics, students reported worse perceptions of safety and connectedness compared to both parent and staff ratings (all p < 0.05). Parents gave the lowest ratings of parental involvement, and staff gave the lowest ratings of academic emphasis (ps < 0.05). Findings demonstrate the importance of considering the type of informant when evaluating climate ratings within a school. Understanding how perceptions differ between informants can inform interventions to improve perceptions and prevent adverse outcomes.  相似文献

Enhancing the Quality of Education: A Case Study and Some Emerging Principles     

Myra Hodgkinson  George Brown 《Higher Education》2003,45(3):337-352

The aim of this paper is to provide insightsinto the process that has been adopted toenable faculty and support staff (courseadministrators and technicians) to identify andenhance the quality of educational provision ina large UK Business School. The concern toaddress this issue was motivated initially bythe demands of external subject review. Therewas a realisation by senior managers within theSchool that what was required was the embeddingand sharing of good practice and continuousimprovement of the provision: in short, anapplication of the concept of a learningorganisation. The paper may assist othersengaged in the task of enhancing the quality ofstudent learning in their faculties orschools.  相似文献   

Antecedent reinforcement schedule training and operant response reinstatement in rats     

George J. Franks  Kennon A. Lattal 《Learning & behavior》1976,4(4):374-378

Rats were trained on reinforcement schedules which generated high or low response rates. After extinguishing responding by eliminating food-reinforcement delivery, response-independent food presentations reinstated responding. Higher response rates occurred if the schedule preceding extinction controlled high response rates, suggesting that discriminative stimulus properties of the reinforcer were a function of antecedent training schedules.  相似文献   

Alternatives to the entrepreneurial university: New modes of knowledge production in community service programs     

George Subotzky 《Higher Education》1999,38(4):401-440

Globalisation has significantly altered patterns of research and development, and production. In turn, this has generated new organisational forms and practices in higher education knowledge production. As a result, a strong trend towards the 'entrepreneurial' university has emerged, characterised by increasing market-like behaviour and governance. Within the dominant neo-liberal global consensus, this primarily serves the market and the private good. However, this is a growing counter concern for higher education's contribution to equity, community development and the public good. Drawing from various case studies, focusing on South Africa, this paper identifies the higher education-community partnership model as a complementary alternative to the entrepreneurial university. It is shown that knowledge production in these partnerships closely resembles so-called mode 2, applications-driven knowledge production. Potentially, however, the partnership model integrates and mutually enhances experiential learning, relevant research and community development.  相似文献   

Private education in a poor country: The case of urban Bolivia     

George Psacharopoulos  Carlos R. Arieira  Robert Mattson 《Economics of Education Review》1997,16(4):395-406

Investment in education is critical for economic growth and poverty alleviation. Such investment is typically being financed by the state. Yet in many countries families contribute privately to the education of their children. In an era of stagnating public budgets for education (and practically anything else), the private financing of education gains importance for a country's investment in human resources to be maintained. It is often claimed that private education is highly selective and afforded only by the rich. In this paper we examine the extent of private expenditure on education in a country that is among the poorest—Bolivia. In the empirical analysis we use data from both the 1990 and 1992 household surveys (Encuesta Intergrada de Hogares). The results show that there is a remarkable willingness of households in Bolivia to pay for private education for their children.  相似文献   

International Best Practices in Career Development: Review of the Literature     

George?V.?RichardEmail author 《International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance》2005,5(2):189-201

This paper presents a review of the literature to identify exemplary international career planning programs. Following the National Career Development Guidelines as a guide, a framework was created to organize the research: Content, process, and infrastructure. This review of the literature supports the general tenets of career development – that self-knowledge and career exploration, and an interactive and integrated method of delivery, are key to sound career decision-making. The focus of the international community indicates increasing interest of the world on career guidance services, and commonalities among countries differing along many cultural, social, and economic lines.

Résumé. Les bonnes pratiques internationales dans le développement des trajectoires de vie professionnelle: revue de la littérature Cet article présente un examen de la littérature pour identifier des programmes internationaux exemplaires de planification de carrière. En prenant les Directives Nationales de Développement des Trajectoires de Vie Professionnelle comme guide, on a créé un cadre de références pour organiser la recherche: contenus, processus et infrastructures. Cet examen de la littérature conforte les principes généraux du développement de la vie professionnelle, à savoir que la connaissance de soi, l’exploration de carrière et une méthode interactive et intégrée sont des éléments clé pour une prise de décision de carrière éclairée. La communauté internationale insiste sur l’intérêt croissant dans le monde pour les services d’orientation de carrière et sur ce qu’il y a de commun entre des pays qui diffèrent en termes d’aspects culturels, sociaux et économiques.Zusammenfassung. Internationale Praxisempfehlungen in der Berufsberatung: Literatursichtung Dieser Artikel stellt eine Literatursichtung vor, die vorbildliche internationale Berufswahlprogramme ausgewählt hat. Auf der Grundlage der Nationalen Berufsberatungsrichtlinien wurde eine Struktur entwickelt, an der sich die Suche ausrichtete: Inhalt, Prozesse, Infrastruktur. Diese Literatursichtung belegt die allgemeinen Grundannahmen der Berufsberatung – dass nämlich die Kenntnis der eigenen Person, die Berufskunde und die interaktiven und integrativen Verfahren des Berufswahlunterrichts die Schlüssel für eine abgesicherte Berufsentscheidung sind. Die Aufmerksamkeit des internationalen Beratungsfeldes weist auf ein wachsendes Interesse der Welt an Berufsberatungsdienstleistungen hin, sowie auf Gemeinsamkeiten über Ländergrenzen hinweg, die sich jedoch entlang verschiedener kultureller, sozialer und wirtschaftlicher Linien durchaus auch unterscheiden.Resumen. Buenas Prácticas Internaciones de la Orientación para el Desarrollo de la Carrera: Revisión de la Literatura Este artículo presenta una revisión de la literatura para identificar programas ejemplares de planificación de la carrera internacionales. Tomando como guía las Directrices Nacionales del Desarrollo de la Carrera (National Career Development Guidelines, EEUU), se creó un marco de referencia para organizar los elementos de la investigación: contenido, proceso e infraestructura. Esta revisión respalda los principios generalmente aceptados del desarrollo de la carrera – que el auto-conocimiento y la exploración de la carrera, y que los métodos de intervención interactivos e integrados, son claves para el proceso de toma de decisiones. El foco de atención de la comunidad internacional indica un interés creciente por los servicios de orientación para la carrera en el mundo, así como las semejanzas entre los países que difieren por otro lado en aspectos culturales, sociales y económicos.

An analysis of flexible learning and flexibility over the last 40 years of Distance Education     

George Veletsianos  Shandell Houlden 《Distance Education》2019,40(4):454-468

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we report the major themes we identified in the literature surrounding flexible learning that has been published in Distance Education over the last 40 years. We identified six themes: the qualities of flexibility as affording “anytime, anyplace” learning; flexibility as pedagogy; liberatory or service-oriented aspects of flexibility; limitations of flexibility, especially in terms of technology, the constraints of time and space, as well as cultural differences; flexibility as a quality needed by instructors and instructional designers themselves; and critiques of flexibility as a concept. These themes suggest a complex understanding of flexibility, and one that could support future teaching and scholarly endeavours.  相似文献
