Australia’s Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) is an income contingent loan scheme, in which university students
pay back part of the costs of their tuition after their post-university income reaches a certain threshold, is an important
policy innovation for the financing of higher education. However, its critics claim that HECS increases socioeconomic inequalities
in higher education and the HECS debt reduces the ability of young people to make the transitions to adulthood. This paper
investigates these claims. There is no evidence that socioeconomic inequalities in higher education in Australia increased
after the implementation of HECS in 1989 or the 1997 reforms. The magnitude of the HECS debt was found to have a negative
impact on the transition to parenthood, but had no negative impacts on other transitions to adulthood: leaving the parental
home, marriage and home ownership. Its effects on parenthood were moderate compared to other influences, such as full-time
work in the previous year, marriage and being in a de facto relationship. Furthermore, only a small proportion of young people
who attended university have large enough HECS debts for it to affect their fertility decisions.

Mathematical belief change in prospective primary teachers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Peter Grootenboer 《Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education》2008,11(6):479-497
The development and influence of beliefs in teacher education has been a topic of increasing interest for researchers in recent
years. This study explores the responses of a group of prospective primary teachers to attempts to facilitate belief change
as part of their initial teacher education programme in mathematics. The students’ responses seemed to fall into three categories:
non-engagement; building a new set of beliefs and; reforming existing beliefs. In this article the participants’ responses
are outlined and illustrated with stories from three individuals. This study suggests that belief reform is complex and fraught
with ethical dilemmas. Certainly there is a need for further research in this area, particularly given the pervasive influence
of beliefs on teaching practice.

When Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man was published in 1952, he could not have known the impact his metaphor of invisibility would have on adolescent and YA literature.
However, upon closer inspection, the importance and prevalence of his metaphor becomes evident. Authors of adolescent and
YA literature routinely use the metaphor as an intertextual shortcut to discuss issues that shape adolescent subjectivity,
which is demonstrated through an examination of Sapphire’s Push, Virginia Hamilton’s The Planet of Junior Brown, and Robert Cormier’s Fade.

This essay on the ethical mission of the university explores extremes of anti-social behavior, visiting numerous crime scenes
before concluding that contemporary higher education has lost the capacity—and even the language—for taking character development
seriously. In his attempt to determine whether coincidently traditional-liberationist-diversiphilic-apathetic colleges can
morally improve their charges, Peter Wood collects a wrenching compendium of violent academic mayhem.

The whole mode of Galileo’s discovery of the Law of Inertia is an excellent exemplar of the Nature of Science. The law can,
moreover be shown to be a direct consequence of the hypothesis that space is homogeneous and isotropic and time is homogeneous

This article reviews the work of Jong-Hsiang Yang in science education and his efforts in creating a research culture in Taiwan.
Following in Yang’s footprints, the rebuilding of science education, implementing a new science curriculum, and gaining the
academic status of science education, we go through the important years of the development of science education in Taiwan.
His leadership in introducing interpretive research methods and expanding international studies catalyzed profound changes
to science education research in Taiwan.

This qualitative study examines the collaboration and leadership practice that influences the education of homeless students
in a large Mid-Atlantic city. The perspectives of administrators and staff members from three homeless shelters are analyzed
with insights from Spillane’s (Distributed leadership, 2006) distributed leadership theory. Findings from the study indicate
that differences in shelter and school structures and cultures present significant obstacles to productive communication that
would facilitate homeless children’s schooling. Several structural and programmatic recommendations are made towards developing
more effective leadership practice among schools and shelters.

This article aims to explore how democratic community is manifest in schools in Korea. It also tries to examine how leadership,
specifically transformational leadership, functions in shaping a democratic community within a school. Toward this aim, we
have conducted a case study of two religious high schools in Korea. Based on the findings from the schools, we have discussed
five aspects related to democratic community and transformational leadership. When school principals’ leadership has transformational
characteristics and consistency over the years, the leaders’ mission and vision become shared values among the school members.
The shared vision and cultural values make democratic systems work effectively. This article includes implications for educational
policy and practice.

We would like to thank our commentators Reis, Ercikan and Alper for their insightful comments on our research study and respond
in brief to a few of their criticisms. More specifically, we would like to address what we consider to be the three main issues
they raise with regard to the practices of curriculum translation and implementation across languages, namely viewing speakers’
intentions as a mode of signification in discourse analysis, exploring curriculum translation through an interpretive research
approach, and establishing the validity of research on curriculum translation.

Ideological differences in a writing class evoke the passion of political sensitivities. A graduate student tells of “coming
out” as a pro-life advocate in an essay before his feminist classmates and professor. The exchange created instant and irreconcilable
enemies, but he also found some unexpected support from a hesitant voice within that classroom.

Conflicting measures of state support for postsecondary education create confusion and misunderstanding that convolute debates
about states’ postsecondary education funding. The use of multiple measures is largely unnecessary, though. A simple single
measure is constructed that adequately quantifies both states’ postsecondary need and states’ ability to pay. Specifically,
this study proposes measuring state support for postsecondary education as state postsecondary funding per high school graduate
over the previous four years per dollar of per capita income.

Since many teachers and students recognize other kinds of knowledge (faith) based on other ways of knowing, consideration
of these realities is appropriate for the science education community. Understanding the multitude of ways that clergy view
relationships between science and faith (i.e. alternative ways of knowing) would assist in understanding various ways that
people address complex issues arising from ideas about science and faith. We administered a questionnaire composed of multiple-choice
and short answer items to 63 United Methodist ministers. Findings included (1) that formal, organized faith contexts (e.g.
church services) serve as informal science education opportunities, (2) participants demonstrated considerable diversity regarding
the types of relationships developed between science and faith, and (3) participants recognized a need exists for better understandings
of science and its relationship to faith for them, their colleagues, and their congregations.

This paper suggests an alternative to the standard practice of measuring the graduation rate performance using regression
analysis. The alternative is production frontier analysis. Production frontier analysis is appealing because it compares an
institution’s graduation rate to the best performance instead of the average performance. The paper explains the differences
between these two types of analysis and provides examples of their application using data for 187 national universities.

Physics education reform movements should pay attention to feminist analyses of gender in the culture of physics for two reasons.
One reason is that feminist analyses contribute to an understanding of a ‘chilly climate’ women encounter in many physics
university departments. Another reason is that feminist analyses reveal that certain styles of doing science are predominant
in the culture of physics. I introduce recent philosophical work in social epistemology to argue that the predominance of
certain styles of doing science is not good for science. Scientific communities would benefit from greater diversity in styles
of doing science.

Jim Kaput lived a full life in mathematics education and we have many reasons to be grateful to him, not only for his vision
of the use of technology in mathematics, but also for his fundamental humanity. This paper considers the origins of his ‘big
ideas’ as he lived through the most amazing innovations in technology that have changed our lives more in a generation than
in many centuries before. His vision continues as is exemplified by the collected papers in this tribute to his life and work.

Double degrees (also called joint or combined degrees)—programs of study combining two bachelor degrees—are increasingly popular
in Australian universities, particularly among women. A case study using qualitative and quantitative surveys of current and
past double degree students is presented. The study indicates that double degrees benefit students in providing a broad education
and increasing skills and options. However, benefits are not fully realised because of administrative difficulties, lack of
support and absence of ‘learning communities’. These problems arise because double degrees sit outside the disciplinary structure
of universities. As such, however, double degrees have potential to provide transdisciplinary education. We suggest initiatives
that would improve the experience, performance and persistence of double degree students. They would also build the skills
of integration, boundary work, communication and teamwork associated with transdisciplinarity. These skills not only equip
students for a range of employment; they are sorely needed in society.

Conflict in the university setting is an inherent component of academic life. Leaders spend more than 40% of their time managing
conflict. Department heads are in a unique position—they encounter conflict from individuals they manage and from others to
whom they report such as a senior administrator in the position of dean. There are very few studies that seek to ascertain
the conflict management styles of department heads and how these impact leadership and professional development. This qualitative
research study explored the conflict management styles of 20 department heads across a variety of disciplines and with varying
levels of experience at a public research extensive university in the South. Based on an analysis of conflict management styles,
the article offers implications for the professional development of department heads.
