Academic staff perspectives on technology for assessment (TfA) in higher education: A systematic literature review     

Mairead Brady  Ann Devitt  Rachel A. Kiersey 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2019,50(6):3080-3098

This paper presents a systematic literature review of academic staff experiences and perceptions of adopting Technology for Assessment OF/FOR/AS Learning in Higher Education. This paper is a qualitative synthesis of 65 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2012 and 2017 reporting on the use of technology for assessment (TfA). The results suggest that there are some efficiencies for staff in implementing TfA but this can come with a cost at the set-up and maintenance phases. Furthermore, results indicated that assessment design is not of foremost concern to academic staff when introducing TfA, but that a wide variety of pressures and both educational and operational drivers are present. There were inconclusive findings in relation to understandings of appropriate institutional environments and supports for TfA to flourish in higher education. There is a need for empirical research, particularly longitudinal investigations, of academic experiences of implementations of TfA to investigate sustainability of adoption. The imperative of exploring the academic staff perspective as the instigator and manager of both the technology and the student learning experience requires deep consideration as TfA adoption progresses.  相似文献

丛枝菌根真菌对氮素的吸收作用和机制     

李侠  张俊伶 《雁北师范学院学报》2008,24(6)

丛枝菌根真菌可以与绝大多数陆生植物共生,它可以吸收铵态氮、硝态氮、一些氨基酸和一些复杂的有机氮素,吸收的氮素在根外菌丝中转化成精氨酸,并以这种形式运输到根内菌丝,在根内菌丝和根细胞界面,精氨酸再进一步转化为NH4^＋后转移到宿主植物体,参与植物氮素代谢,而转移的氮量及对宿主植物氮营养的贡献与宿主植物、真菌以及基质养分和水分条件有关．  相似文献   

Creating space for learning: conceptualizing women and higher education through space and time   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Dot Moss 《Gender and education》2004,16(3):283-302

This paper highlights the strengths of giving visibility to the concepts of space and time in research related to women's lives and higher education. It is based on research that explores the everyday practice and experience of women higher education students at a community college in the north of England. It focuses on the ways in which space and time to study are both socially and personally constructed. The concepts of space and time are drawn on to theorize and analyze women students' experiences and to draw attention to the ‘behind scenes of power and control’ shaping action (Layder, 1993 Layder D 1993 New strategies in social research (Cambridge, Polity)  [Google Scholar], p. 249). Women students from a range of backgrounds are considered, including younger/older, mother/non‐mother and differential class and geographical heritage. The paper highlights three issues. Firstly, the increasingly restricted ground available for academic studies in women's lives, resulting from the restructuring of paid work, social welfare and higher education. Secondly, the hierarchy of values and ambiguous meanings attached to higher education when women attempt to study. Thirdly, the intense negotiations undertaken by women students in order to construct space and time for academic work.  相似文献

Social exclusion,and educational opportunity: the case of British education policies within a European Union context1     

Nafsika Alexiadou 《Globalisation, Societies & Education》2005,3(1):101-125

This paper first examines the New Labour government's redefinition of equality of opportunity in Britain, mainly with regard to education and the ways in which it mediates ‘opportunity’. In doing so, it also draws on wider social policy issues, such as the use of education policies to combat social exclusion. Second, the paper reviews European Union policies and selected documents that address questions of social inclusion, social cohesion and the role of education in achieving those policy goals. The main argument is that both New Labour policies in Britain and the examined EU documents promote rather minimal understandings of the term ‘equality of opportunity’, while, education, in both cases, is given an enormous burden to carry in balancing increasingly liberalised market‐driven economies, with the requirements of a socially just society.  相似文献

功能理论观下的Herbert A. Giles的《聊斋》译本——译者的动摇与矛盾     

何劲  熊涛 《广东技术师范学院学报》2007,(2)

功能主义理论中的目的论(Skopostheorie)主张评价译文的标准不应局限于“等值”(equivalence)为核心的翻译观,而应该衡量译文是否对某个翻译目的“充分”(adequacy)。本文对翟氏译本中译例的翻译现象与翻译效果进行分析,并与其他《聊斋》译本作对比分析。通过对比研究发现,翟理斯在翻译过程中并没有始终如一地受自己翻译目的的指导,因而翻译策略缺乏连贯性,没有很好地达到自己的翻译目的。  相似文献

Women faculty seeking tenure and parenthood: lessons from previous generations     

Carmen Armenti 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2004,34(1):65-83

This research explores the problems that women professors encounter when combining the pursuit of tenure with having and raising children. In‐depth interviews were conducted with 19 women academics at one Canadian university. These women believe that engaging in childbearing/childrearing practices prior to obtaining tenure is detrimental to their career progression.  相似文献
