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   

体育强国视域下我国网球的发展趋势     

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

Challenges in developing the academic profession in the Western Balkans     

Samo Pavlin  Zoran Sušanj 《European Journal of Education》2020,55(4):471-475

In this paper, we explore the developmental challenges facing the academic profession in Europe and especially in some Western Balkan countries, Croatia and Slovenia. First, we look at how the higher education environment determines key changes to the academic profession: expectations to demonstrate professional expertise, internationalisation, segmentation, and precarity. While these processes are mainly considered from the above perspective, we also examine the work of academics from within. Second, we discuss aspects of academic tasks, challenges of synchronising academic work with performance measures, intensification of work and expansion of bureaucratic tasks. Building on these perspectives, we introduce a qualitative pilot study that tests how these general trends described in the literature may be applied to given situations in five countries of former Yugoslavia: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia and Kosovo. Although these countries cover a relatively small geographical area, the differences among them with respect to the economy, society and politics are important. Our findings suggest that problems accumulating in academic work in Slovenia and Croatia were in almost all of the surveyed aspects less problematic than in the three other observed countries.  相似文献   

成果与局限:试论我国首次体育学术论争     

李凤梅 《武汉体育学院学报》2020,54(11):34-40

新中国成立初期体育学界的探索和体育事业的发展，为当代体育哲学社会科学发展提供了重要的经验启示和思想资源。出于复杂原因，当时被"双百"方针孕育而生的首次体育学术论争，鲜有人提及。在学界内外争鸣氛围的激励下，这次论争系统总结了当时体育发展中的基本问题，空前活跃了体育研究氛围，也促使篮球战术、体育内行与外行、武术渊源和发展等具体问题的讨论得以深入展开；而历史条件的特殊性和局限性，致使其偏离了体育场域且未能充分关注基本国情；从研究者的态度、论争者的遗憾和体育界的反思等层面，对我国首次体育学术论争及其深远影响进行研判。  相似文献   

Adaptation and evaluation of a learning analytics dashboard to improve academic support at three Latin American universities     

Julio Guerra  Margarita Ortiz-Rojas  Miguel Angel Zúñiga-Prieto  Eliana Scheihing  Alberto Jiménez  Tom Broos  Tinne De Laet  Katrien Verbert 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2020,51(4):973-1001

Despite the success of academic advising dashboards in several higher educational institutions (HEI), these dashboards are still under-explored in Latin American HEI's. To close this gap, three different Latin American universities adapted an existing advising dashboard, originally deployed at the KU Leuven to their own context. In all three cases, the context was the main ruling factor to these adaptations. In this paper, we describe these adaptions using a framework that focuses on four different elements of the context: Objectives, Stakeholders, Key moment and Interactions. Evaluation of the adapted dashboards in the three different Latin American universities is conducted through pilots. This evaluation shows the value of the dashboard approach in different contexts in terms of satisfaction, usefulness and impact in academic decision-making and advising tasks. The main contribution of this paper is the systematic reporting of the adaptations to an academic advising dashboard and showing the value of an academic advising dashboard on academic decision-making and advising tasks.  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

Virtual microscopy (VM) has been utilized to improve students' learning experience in microscope laboratory sessions, but minimal attention has been given to determining how to use VM more effectively. The study examined the influence of VM on academic performance and teacher and student perceptions and compared laboratory test scores before and after VM incorporation. A total of 662 third-year students studying histology and 651 fourth-year students studying pathology were divided into two groups. The light microscopy (LM) group used a light microscope in 2014 and 2015, while the LM + VM group used the VM platform and a light microscope in 2016 and 2017. Four factors positively predict laboratory scores (R square, 0.323; P < 0.001): (i) the pathology course and test-enhanced learning, (ii) the VM platform and experience, (iii) medical students and lecture scores, and (iv) female students. The LM + VM group exhibited less score variability on laboratory examinations relative to their mean than the LM group. The LM + VM group was also associated with fewer failing grades (F grade; odds ratio, 0.336; P < 0.001) and higher scores (A grade; odds ratio, 2.084; P < 0.001) after controlling for sex, school, course, and lecture grades. The positive effect of the VM platform on laboratory test grades was associated with prior experience using the VM platform and was synergistic with more interim tests. Both teachers and students agreed that the VM platform enhanced laboratory learning. The incorporation of the VM platform in the context of test-enhanced learning may help more students to master microscopic laboratory content.  相似文献
