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

黄中俊 《体育科技文献通报》2020,(6):74-75,82

近几年来,我国网球运动蓬勃发展,前程似锦,但是世界级网球高手随处闪现,在技战术水平、心理素质等都优于同龄中国选手。不难发现,我国距离体育强调还有很长一段距离,只有大家齐心协力,共同努力,明确网球发展动向,才能实现体育大国向体育强国的跨越。因此,本文首先介绍新时期体育强国的要求,然后分析我国网球与世界网球强国的差距,最后研究体育强国视域下我国网球发展趋势。  相似文献   

基于整体性治理的我国青少年体育公共服务体系研究     

舒宗礼 《武汉体育学院学报》2020,54(8):20-27

体育强国战略背景下探究如何健全青少年体育公共服务体系，对于消弭青少年体育在整个体育事业、教育事业中的落差，改革和加强青少年体育工作具有重要意义。研究发现，我国青少年体育公共服务体系在完善制度、巩固基础、培育组织、开展活动、深化改革等方面取得长足发展，但是也还仍面临着区隔化、分散化和碎片化的瓶颈制约。依循整体性治理的学理逻辑，从跨政府部门整合、跨场域整合、跨公私领域整合的三维进路，实现青少年体育公共服务体系治理功能的整合、治理层级的整合和治理深度的整合，为构建体育部门与教育部门相结合，家庭、学校、社区体育相结合，政府与社会力量相结合的共建共治共享的青少年体育公共服务体系提供对策建议，致力于为青少年提供无缝隙的、整体性的体育公共服务。  相似文献   

Not quite university people? Academics teaching on foundation studies programmes in New Zealand universities     

Pat Strauss 《高等教育研究与发展》2020,39(5):1013-1025

ABSTRACT

In the current neoliberal environment in higher education, universities are viewed as a valuable source of income. To generate this income, universities need to attract students, and in order to do so, they need to perform well in global ranking tables. These tables are influenced to a large extent by staff research and postgraduate teaching. Foundation studies programmes (FS) do not usually have a great deal to offer in these categories and this places staff teaching on these programmes in a difficult position. This article explores the perceptions of staff teaching on FS programmes in New Zealand universities, drawing on data from semi-structured interviews with 22 lecturers from four universities. Although lip service is paid in higher education circles to the importance of widening access to university education for traditionally marginalised groups, it appears that staff teaching on FS programmes do not, on the whole, receive acknowledgement, support or reward for the work that they do. Despite their marginalised status, these lecturers are committed to helping second chance learners. However, their ability to make a positive impact on these students’ lives is limited by their lowly status in the university sector. This article discusses the insights of FS staff and considers the implications of their positioning in the university sector. It offers some suggestions as to how, in a small way, universities could address the difficulties these academics face in their attempts to widen university access.  相似文献   

Political Socialization of International Students: Public-Issue Discourse and Discussion on the College Campus     

Mizuki H. Wyant  Elizabeth H. Hurst  Justin Reedy 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2020,49(4):372-393

ABSTRACT

This study examined international students’ interests in public issues in the U.S. and motivational factors behind their discourse or avoidance of such issues. In-depth interviews with international students revealed that they discuss certain public issues in the U.S. to gain or exchange information and knowledge, because these issues are relevant to themselves and others, or due to the misconceptions that others have about their country. Moreover, international students tend to avoid certain public issues because of the level of their knowledge and lack of interest in such issues and in order to avoid dissonance caused by the public issues.  相似文献   

新时代我国体育消费力提升研究     

孙威  王晓辉 《沈阳体育学院学报》2020,(3):49-55

当前我国体育消费力较弱,亟需通过研究提升体育消费力。运用文献资料、逻辑分析等方法,依据马克思消费力理论提出并解析了体育消费力的4要素及其现实情况:体育供给不到位导致消费品难以满足需求、居民收入不平衡限制消费者的支付能力、体育环境不规范阻滞良好消费氛围的形成、体育消费者不成熟拉低消费力的整体水平。体育消费力提升路径:以供给侧结构性改革为主线有效优化体育供给力,以拓宽人民增收渠道为手段动态平衡居民可支配收入,以完善市场化引导监督机制为动力合理规范体育社会环境,以强化消费者要素整合能力为抓手全面提升体育消费者成熟度。  相似文献

一个带协变量调整多响应比较的高效方法及其在基因组数据中的应用     

张胜虎  朱家砚  张三国 《中国科学院大学学报》2019,36(2):155-161

目前在文献中有很多关于多响应比较的研究方法，但是对带协变量调整的非参数检验的研究较少。一种直观的想法是将数据先投影到协变量的正交空间中，然后再利用秩和检验、调整的秩和检验或最大值检验方法。但是，功效普遍不高。在调整的秩和检验和伪F检验两种方法基础上，构建MIN2检验。大量模拟和实际数据表明，MIN2检验的效果优于现有的非参数检验方法。  相似文献

Diversity Literary Awards: A Tool for Assessing an Academic Library’s Collection     

Laurel Kristick 《资料收集管理》2020,45(2):151-161

Abstract

Diversity literary awards and other sources were used to create a list of high-quality titles written by and about underrepresented groups. This list was used to assess the diversity and inclusiveness of the library collections of a land-grant university in the Pacific Northwest and compare it to peer institutions. Gaps in the collection and acquisition processes were identified and will be used to improve the processes to increase the number of diverse titles added to the library’s collections.  相似文献
