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   

A Web-Based Virtual Microscopy Platform for Improving Academic Performance in Histology and Pathology Laboratory Courses: A Pilot Study

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   

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

Contract cheating in UK higher education: A covert investigation of essay mills          下载免费PDF全文

Dominic Medway  Stuart Roper  Leah Gillooly 《British Educational Research Journal》2018,44(3):393-418

Contract cheating is currently a concern for universities and the higher education (HE) sector. It has been brought into the spotlight in recent years through the growth of online essay mills, where students can easily commission and purchase written assessment responses. This study contributes to the wider literature on academic integrity in HE by examining the phenomenon of contract cheating from a supply‐side perspective, thereby considering the essay mill offering and student interaction with it. The authors covertly engage with five essay mills, before successfully completing an assignment purchase with two of these providers. The pre‐purchase stage of an assignment transaction is first examined, unpacking ten reassurance cues used by essay mill providers in the text of their websites. These reassurance cues help to ensure the attractiveness of the essay mill product to potential student consumers. The analysis then moves to explore the ethical discourses around academic integrity that essay mills provide, revealing inconsistencies in their stance towards the potential for academic misconduct from the use of essay mill services. Finally, the article explores the quality of the essay mill product, through grading and Turnitin^® reports for the two purchased essay mill assignments. Following recent calls for the outlawing of essay mills, this article provides a timely addition to current understanding of this phenomenon, and the associated challenges of contract cheating in HE.  相似文献   

Sharing practices,but what is the story? Exploring award-winning teachers’ conceptions of teaching     

Mark Gan Joo Seng  Johan Geertsema 《高等教育研究与发展》2018,37(2):254-269

This paper critically considers the attempt by a research-intensive university in Asia to draw on and make public the practices of teaching award winners in different disciplines through the use of narrative vignettes. More specifically, this paper examines what the vignettes suggest about the connection between award-winning teachers’ conceptions of teaching (CT) on the one hand, and scholarly investigations of practice on the other, and to what extent the vignettes meet the aim of using the scholarship of teaching and learning as an instrument of effective academic development. Content analysis of the vignettes revealed that award-winning teachers’ CT tend to focus predominantly on enhancing learning, followed by encouraging collective knowledge creation and transmission of knowledge. A two-dimensional framework was also used to analyse the vignettes along a tacit-integrated continuum and within an intuitive-reflective frame of inquiry. The findings are discussed in relation to teachers’ perception of their impact on students’ learning and ways to enhance their own practice, with implications for teaching awards, documentation, and dissemination of high-level teaching achievement.  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
