Twenty years of research on total quality management in Higher Education: A systematic literature review     

Kanwal Nasim  Arif Sikander  Xiaowen Tian 《Higher Education Quarterly》2020,74(1):75-97

Faced with intensified global education competition, universities and other Higher Education institutions are implementing Total Quality Management (TQM) to keep rivals at bay. Meanwhile, research interest in TQM in Higher Education is growing. This paper reviews the achievements and limitations of extant research on TQM in Higher Education, and discusses directions for future research. The paper finds that extant research focuses on (1) teaching and learning but neglects research and industry engagement; (2) an isolated factor (e.g., teacher) but neglects other factors (e.g., facilities); (3) the Higher Education sector in advanced countries but neglects the Higher Education sector in developing countries; and (4) TQM as a phenomenon but neglects theory development and integration. Future research needs to address these limitations, adopt a more holistic perspective, and take a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to TQM in the Higher Education sector.  相似文献   

Simultaneous changes in seed size,oil content and protein content driven by selection of SWEET homologues during soybean domestication

Soybean accounts for more than half of the global production of oilseed and more than a quarter of the protein used globally for human food and animal feed. Soybean domestication involved parallel increases in seed size and oil content, and a concomitant decrease in protein content. However, science has not yet discovered whether these effects were due to selective pressure on a single gene or multiple genes. Here, re-sequencing data from >800 genotypes revealed a strong selection during soybean domestication on GmSWEET10a. The selection of GmSWEET10a conferred simultaneous increases in soybean-seed size and oil content as well as a reduction in the protein content. The result was validated using both near-isogenic lines carrying substitution of haplotype chromosomal segments and transgenic soybeans. Moreover, GmSWEET10b was found to be functionally redundant with its homologue GmSWEET10a and to be undergoing selection in current breeding, leading the the elite allele GmSWEET10b, a potential target for present-day soybean breeding. Both GmSWEET10a and GmSWEET10b were shown to transport sucrose and hexose, contributing to sugar allocation from seed coat to embryo, which consequently determines oil and protein contents and seed size in soybean. We conclude that past selection of optimal GmSWEET10a alleles drove the initial domestication of multiple soybean-seed traits and that targeted selection of the elite allele GmSWEET10b may further improve the yield and seed quality of modern soybean cultivars.  相似文献

化学知识在解生物题中的应用   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

胡四新  田石平 《中学生物学》2007,23(6):36-36

生命现象本质上是化学的,它与化学(特别是有机化学)是分不开的、紧密联系的。许多生命现象的研究和阐释都离不开化学的原理和方法。对于生物教师来说,掌握一定的化学知识,对于正确地理解和认识生命现象是很有帮助的。笔者对高中生物中和中学化学知识联系比较紧密的内容作了简要的归纳和概述,以期用化学的知识来帮助理解生命现象。  相似文献

高等学校校规的法律性质及效力判定   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8

高等教育的市场化要求高校管理的法制化,高校校规的合法性是高校管理法制化的重要内容。除学位管理的规定以外,高校的学生管理规定应为民事性质,属于学校与学生之间的格式合同。因此,我国法律中有关格式合同的规定是高校校规合法性认定的主要标准。  相似文献

实验改进二则     

田宗学  Tian Zong Xue 《中小学实验与装备》2008,19(5)

高二化学课本(人教版)第十一章第一节演示实验[3-1]铝箔在氧气中燃烧、镁在氧气中燃烧,按课本内容进行操作有以下缺点:一是每次进行此实验时,均需提前制取氧气、二氧化碳,若学校缺少实验员,很不方便.二是制得的气体如果放置时间较长或密封不好,会造成瓶内气体浓度减小,降低实验成功率.笔者经过多次实验,对课本演示实验做了如下改进,成功率高,效果很好.  相似文献
