Bundled or unbundled? A multi-text corpus-assisted discourse analysis of the relationship between teaching and research in UK universities     

Adam Matthews  Ben Kotzee 《British Educational Research Journal》2022,48(3):578-597

Creating and disseminating knowledge through research and teaching has long been regarded as the hallmark of the modern university. However, new university business models have called into question the ‘bundling’ of teaching and research, and sustained research on the relationship between teaching and research has found little evidence of an insoluble connection between the two activities. In this article, we explore the relationship between teaching and research from the perspective of universities’ institutional discourse. We use corpus-assisted discourse analysis to examine the relationship between research and teaching as presented in two sets of institutional texts currently influential in UK Higher Education: Research Excellence Framework environment statements and Teaching Excellence Framework provider submissions (a total of 2143 documents and 12,492,071 words). Our findings show that, while universities emphasise the value of research to their teaching, they do not always emphasise (or sometimes even decry) the influence of teaching on their research. We empirically evidence that, according to what universities themselves write in institutional texts, teaching and research are not always in a mutually beneficial entanglement, but often rather a one-way relationship in which research expertise and institutional prestige are used to bolster claims of teaching excellence. This has implications for the communication of both the vision and the purpose of a university in regulatory exercises and wider policy, but also speaks to the broader idea and practice of being a university in the twenty-first century.  相似文献   

Methods for assessing higher education research team collaboration: comparing research outputs and participant perceptions across four collaborative research teams     

Nick Kelly  Joanne Doyle  Marisa Parker 《高等教育研究与发展》2020,39(2):215-229

ABSTRACT

This article suggests that situations in which multiple research teams are convened under similar conditions present an opportunity to discover factors that lead to productive collaboration. It argues that social network analysis of research team outputs becomes more valuable when paired with data about research participant perceptions; and that any variables used as indicators of collaboration need to be calibrated using datasets from multiple studies with cross-team comparisons. The article provides an example of the kind of methodology needed to achieve this, describing a study with data from four research teams based at an Australian university campus, reporting their research performance over four years under conditions in which many variables were controlled and with results augmented by a survey of participant perceptions. Findings from the study indicate that there were exceptions to hypothesized associations between participant perceptions of collaboration and specific social network analysis measures over co-authorship data. The article suggests that, given the methodological challenges of studying research teams in the field, multiple datasets combining findings such as those in the present study are a path towards the development of indicators of productive higher education research collaboration.  相似文献

Transformative Education     

L. A. Paul  John Quiggin 《Educational theory》2020,70(5):561-579

Universities aspire to offer students a transformative experience, but rarely spell out the nature of this transformation. In this essay, L. A. Paul and John Quiggin frame the successful university education as transformative in the philosophical sense. They explain the way that a successful college education can be understood as generating an individual conceptual revolution, and thus, as a transformative experience. Education can create epistemically transformative change through the process of developing critical thinking skills, leading to conceptual replacement and the discovery of new intellectual frameworks. This epistemic transformation, if deep enough, scales up into a personal transformation. After explicating the nature and structure of transformative education, Paul and Quiggin show how understanding transformation in terms of personal change and awareness of unawareness clarifies the debate over its value.  相似文献   

基于熵权-COPARS的电力企业可持续发展能力评价研究     

黄秋爽  曾森  王杰峰  汪天凯 《科技管理研究》2019,39(11)

企业可持续发展能力是企业发展过程中保持经营优势和持续成长的能力。企业可持续发展能力的评价对企业制定战略布局，提高企业竞争力具有重要意义。基于电力企业的特点，本文从生态环保、服务质量、技术竞争力、市场布局四方面建立了电力企业可持续发展能力评估指标体系，结合熵权法和复杂比例评价法(COPARS)建立了综合评价模型，选取6家代表性电力企业进行实证分析及应用。结果显示代表技术竞争力和创新能力的“授权专利增长率”指标在电力企业可持续发展能力评价模型中权重最大，国家电网的可持续发展能力为“中等”水平，仍有较大的提升空间。电力企业进行可持续发展战略制定时，可参考本模型，实现有的放矢，提升管理效率。  相似文献

基于差异驱动和GRA-TOPSIS法的学术期刊综合评价研究     

张发明  庾凡  叶兆青  王伟明 《现代情报》2018,38(4):77-82

[目的/意义]针对学术期刊多属性综合评价中指标权重获取以及评价信息集结的问题，提出一种新的基于差异驱动和GRA-TOPSIS法的学术期刊综合评价模型。[方法/过程]首先，利用基于拉开档次法的差异驱动原理来最大限度地体现各学术期刊之间的整体差异，并据此确定学术期刊的指标权重；然后，分别利用GRA法和TOPSIS法对评价信息进行综合集成，计算两种方法的学术期刊综合评价值；最后，基于组合评价的思想对两种评价结果进行有效结合，以此确定学术期刊的最终评价值并排序。[结果/结论]选取"农业经济"类期刊为研究对象，结果表明，该方法不仅能够充分体现各学术期刊之间的实际差距，还能够同时从数据距离和数据几何形状上反映学术期刊的综合水平，是一种科学合理的学术期刊综合评价方法。  相似文献
