The ideology of student engagement research     

Alex Buckley 《Teaching in Higher Education》2018,23(6):718-732

In a series of recent papers, Nick Zepke has criticised those researching student engagement in higher education for uncritically supporting neoliberalism. The current highly politicised nature of higher education means that clarity about the political implications of engagement research is crucial. This conceptual paper argues that in focusing on literature on students’ engagement in learning, Zepke overlooks another substantial body of engagement literature, on students’ participation in decisions about learning and teaching. By exploring the political alignment of two of the key models used to conceptualise students’ engagement in decision-making, the paper argues that a central element of the research into student engagement is in fact directly opposed to neoliberal approaches to higher education. Student engagement has been deployed both for and against neoliberalism. Zepke has argued that the research on engagement sides with neoliberalism; I show that the research that focuses on student engagement in decision-making supports the opposition.  相似文献   

Personal authenticity and political subjectivity in student deliberation in environmental and sustainability education     

Iann Lundegård 《Environmental Education Research》2018,24(4):581-592

This study problematizes what is meant when one talks about classroom activities concerning environmental and sustainability issues as being authentic or not. It reports excerpts from three classroom discussions which start from questions formulated by the students themselves concerning issues related to sustainable development. It examines how the different questions give rise to altered kinds of participation and shows that the students’ involvement shifted between either a distanced factual level of communication, or a personal level of communication. The result indicated that the nature of authenticity in a discourse differs depending on which question initiates it. If the initiating questions allow the students to distance themselves from the subject matter, then one type of authenticity is created. If, on the other hand, the questions give the students an opportunity to establish value-relations, or to dare to take a personal standpoint, as political subjects, to the issues at hand then the personal authenticity becomes another.  相似文献   

台湾研发服务业与制造业联动发展及其对广东的启示     

梁永福  张展生  林雄 《科技管理研究》2017,(15)

随着全球产业分工细化和创新模式改变,研发服务业应运而生,不断推动制造业向高端发展。台湾地区作为亚洲乃至全球最重要的制造业基地之一,自2004 年实施《研发服务业发展纲领及行动方案》以来,研发服务业与制造业的联动发展对当地经济发展贡献巨大。文章以台湾研发服务业与制造业实际生产总值的时间序列数据为样本,建立向量自回归模型进行单位根检验和协整分析,并与广东进行比较,结果表明台湾制造业是研发服务业的格兰杰因,反之不成立,且长期里两者存在均衡关系。广东研发服务业与制造业互为格兰杰因,但从长期来看两者未能形成一种稳定的联动关系。研究结果为广东产业转型升级提供了有益的借鉴。  相似文献

National Plan for School Improvement and Students First: the predictable nature of school education policy and the problem of student achievement     

Andrew Skourdoumbis 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2018,39(4):603-614

This paper explores two Australian school education policy documents and the inputs they describe to boost student achievement. The paper suggests that current reform efforts in schooling like others previously configure student achievement in input–output terms confining school education policy to predictable inputs that sideline broader influences on educational output including, for instance, school funding. The national policy documents that are the subject of the case study in this paper are the National Plan for School Improvement and the current Students First. Student achievement is explored as an object of study that can be worked on by policy, including for across-the-board national ‘non-educational’ purposes. The analysis, critical in outlook, suggests that current school education policy trades on a predictable set of evidence-based inputs as correctives to declining levels of student achievement without weaving into the student learning equation the complex mix of relations that frame the educational system.  相似文献

Using common formative assessments as a source of professional development in an urban American elementary school     

Nancy Frey  Douglas Fisher 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2009

By implementing a system of common formative assessments, the teachers at an American urban elementary school improved student achievement and facilitated their own professional development. By aligning content standards with assessments and purposeful instruction, the teachers at this school developed a depth of knowledge about their content standards, improved their ability to design assessments, learned to better link assessments with instruction, and planned for intervention for students who continued to struggle with reading and writing.  相似文献   

Learning for professional life: Student teachers' and graduated teachers' views of learning,responsibility and collaboration     

Madeleine Abrandt Dahlgren  Eva Hammar Chiriac 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2009

The focus of this study is on how final-semester students and newly-graduated teachers experience the formal objectives of teacher education, with a particular view of the concepts of learning, responsibility and collaboration. The ways of experiencing these concepts varied from conceptions in which only one dimension is discerned from in the student teachers group to conceptions in which several dimensions of the phenomena are discerned in the graduate teachers group.  相似文献

The organisational-cooperation mode of innovation and its prominence amongst European service firms     

Bruce S. Tether  Abdelouahid Tajar 《Research Policy》2008,37(4):720-739

Analysing survey data concerning the innovation orientations of 2500 European firms, this paper uses the exploratory statistical technique of multiple correspondence analysis to identify three distinct modes of innovation: a product-research mode; a process-technologies mode; and an organisational-cooperation mode. The first two of these are forms of technological innovation that are well established in the innovation studies literature. The third is a form of organisational innovation, about which much less is known. Aside from identifying statistically these three modes of innovation, we show that firms of different sizes and in different sectors have different propensities to engage in each of them. High-technology firms are, for example, the most likely of all firms to engage in the product-research mode, whilst low-technology manufacturers are the most likely to engage in the process-technologies mode. Meanwhile, the organisational-cooperation mode, which involves supply-chain rather than research-based cooperative practices, is particularly prominent in services, especially in trade and distribution services. This fits with the view that innovation in services is often ‘soft’, rather than primarily technological, involving organisational and relational changes within supply-chains or networks.  相似文献
