Campus-based urban legends have the potential to convey and construct student culture in higher education. Basic qualitative
and humanistic research methods were used to collect, analyze, and interpret legends related to the academic experience of
collegiate life.

Faculty have long incorporated students into interdisciplinary research projects to meet increasingly common demands for collaborative
research by federal funding agencies. Despite the critical role of experiential learning in building student research skills
and capacity, few have explored social interaction mechanisms used to facilitate student experiential learning in an interdisciplinary
research team. Drawing upon the New Rural Economy project as a case study, interviews with 13 students from eight Canadian
universities were conducted to explore these social interaction mechanisms. While findings revealed an array of social interaction
mechanisms used to develop student learning networks, the quality of these mechanisms were mixed; thereby influencing the
utilization of these networks for guidance and feedback. As faculty organize social interaction mechanisms, they should consider
factors such as previous experience, student and faculty relationships, finances, language, gender, ethnicity, and other issues,
that will have an impact on student engagement with experiential learning.

A great challenge in education research involves the difficulty of differentiating between studies that apply commonly understood
theoretical perspectives and recognizing studies that merely rename old theoretical frameworks. This conflict between intellectual
innovation and intellectual retrofitting emerges as central to Basu, Calabrese-Barton, Clairmont, and Lock’s exploration of
the relationship between critical agency and student identity development in science.

A research framework for creative and imitative reasoning 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Johan Lithner 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2008,67(3):255-276
This conceptual research framework addresses the problem of rote learning by characterising key aspects of the dominating
imitative reasoning and the lack of creative mathematical reasoning found in empirical data. By relating reasoning to thinking
processes, student competencies, and the learning milieu it explains origins and consequences of different reasoning types.

This study examines how state merit-based scholarships individually and simultaneously with prepaid tuition plans influence the interstate migration of college-bound freshmen. State freshman migration percentages
were examined over a 10-year period. Results of an interrupted time-series model suggested that students generally respond
to merit-based tuition aid in accordance with our initial prediction based on factors influencing student choice in attending
postsecondary institutions. More specifically, many students choose to attend an in-state college in order to be eligible
for state merit-based scholarships. Moreover, for home states that adopted both merit-based scholarships and prepaid tuition
contracts, student out-migration was further reduced over time.

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.

This case study identifies four targets groups that are specific to the achievement of the EFA Millennium Development Goals
in Mongolia: boys, out-of-school children, vulnerable children and minorities, and children of herders. Boys from herder families
in remote rural areas are at the greatest risk of drop-out or non-enrollment. The case study therefore focuses on problems
with access to education for boys from nomadic herder families. The inverse gender gap in the Mongolian education sector is
a well-explored topic in educational policy research. What is lacking, however, is a more comprehensive look at how, and why,
the combination of gender, household income and location of school—urban, semi-urban, rural—affect access to education in
Mongolia.

The impact of increased academic intensity on transfer rates from community colleges to 4-year institutions has been estimated
only from observational data, with the possibility of selection bias. This study uses matching estimators to overcome possible
selection bias and estimate the causal impact of increased academic intensity on transfer rates. Using student unit record
data from Tennessee for the years 1995 through 2004, I find that taking 12 or more credit hours increases the probability
of transfer from between 11% and 15%.

Even though female students now make up more than half of all higher education students in many countries, the distribution
of women across fields of study is still very uneven. This study examines the gendered nature of recruitment and dropout in
higher education. Our results show that students who made gender traditional choices more often had an early preference for
the study programme they enrolled in. Moreover, female students reported more often than male students that they had been
encouraged by their parents and friends. However, unlike what we expected, there are no differences between students in gender
traditional and non-traditional programmes with regard to encouragement from parents and students’ confidence that they had
made the right choice. While male students’ dropout is unrelated to the gender composition of educational programmes, women
drop out of female-dominated programmes to a lesser extent.

The purpose of this study is to identify student and institutional characteristics that influence the probability for graduation.
The study delves further into the probability for graduation by examining how far the student deviates from the institutional
mean with respect to academics and affordability; this concept is referred to as the “match.” The validity of the matching
model is tested using a multivariate analysis with select variables from the Beginning Postsecondary Study: 1996/2001 (BPS:96/01)
and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Traditional multivariate models examine the importance of
both student and institutional characteristics but assume the two are independent of one another. This study is different
in that it uses the matching model to examine the relationship between student and institutional characteristics. The results
are compared to more frequently used models and show that the relationship between students and their institutions plays an
important role in understanding the probability for graduation.

This study examined whether the effects of student–faculty interaction on a range of student outcomes—i.e., college GPA, degree
aspiration, integration, critical thinking and communication, cultural appreciation and social awareness, and satisfaction
with college experience—vary by student gender, race, social class, and first-generation status. The study utilized data on
58,281 students who participated in the 2006 University of California Undergraduate Experience Survey (UCUES). The findings
reveal differences in the frequency of student–faculty interaction across student gender, race, social class and first-generation
status, and differences in the effects of student–faculty interaction (i.e., conditional effects) that depended on each of these factors except first-generation
status. The findings provide implications for educational practice on how to maximize the educational efficacy of student–faculty
interaction by minimizing the gender, race, social class, and first-generation differences associated with it.

Validating NSSE Against Student Outcomes: Are They Related? 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3
While there exist many examples of institutional use of the results of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), there
is a relative paucity of research explicitly linking student outcomes to responses on the survey. A major Doctoral-Extensive
institution in the Southeast recently conducted a large-scale implementation of the National Survey of Student Engagement
(NSSE). We have linked multiple years of NSSE responses to several student outcomes: freshman retention, GPA, pursuit of graduate
education, and employment outcome upon commencement/degree conferral. Our research finds minimal explanatory power in the
NSSE benchmarks for these outcomes. A statistically derived model from the individual NSSE items shows greater promise, although
there are difficulties in replicating the model for previous student cohorts.

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 article provides a characterization of the internationalization of “global” European universities and discusses the role
of the State in promoting greater internationalization and competitiveness levels of prominent national universities. The
analysis supports previous arguments stating that global ranking of universities is strongly based on research, but reveals
that the internationalization of research universities’ student population is also arranged to enhance research capacity.
This finding is further reinforced by a positive association between the internationalization of the academic staff and the
internationalization of the student population in one of those universities, being this association particularly strong with
the doctoral student population. Finally, based on the analysis of two prominent national universities with different global
competitiveness levels, we discuss the role of the State as a central supporter of these universities internationalization
and global competitiveness arguing that public funding and support is critical if countries want to have national prominent
universities competing at global level.

This article reports challenges faced by prospective elementary teachers as they revisited whole number multiplication through
a sequence of tasks that required them to develop and justify reasoning strategies for multiplication. Classroom episodes
and student work are used both to illustrate these challenges, as well as to demonstrate growth over time. Implications for
the design of mathematics courses for prospective teachers’ are discussed. Although the study is situated in the context of
multiplication, it has implications for teachers reasoning and justification in other areas of mathematics.

This paper characterizes and evaluates the student allocation in the Portuguese public higher education system. It describes
the supply and demand sides of the system by looking at the numerus clausus across areas of study and institutions, institutions’ degree of diversity, and performance and adjustment indicators based
on students’ revealed preferences. Performance indicators quantify the adequacy between demand and supply, across institutions
and fields of study, and gauge the performance of public higher education institutions in the competition for candidates.
Adjustment indicators allow us to predict the potential impact of changes in higher education regulations on student allocation
and its stability. According to these indicators, such changes could result in an expansion for some institutions and fields
of study, whereas other institutions might face a reduction.

The Canadian young adult novel The Maestro by Tim Wynne-Jones foregrounds the relationship between imagination and subjective agency. While Burl uses his imagination
at the beginning to protect himself from his abusive father, his fantasies become dress rehearsals for small performances
that allow him to try on new identities and exercise autonomy through conscious choice of possible actions. The protagonist’s
imagination, nurtured by reading fairy tales, allows him to move out of his lonely private realm into intersubjective relationships
with others, particularly with parental figures who support his developing sense of agency.

Coursework masters degrees in Australia have experienced rapid, decentralised growth since deregulation at the end of the
1980s. The result is an extraordinarily high level of diversity and some confusion as to standards, strategic positioning,
purpose and educational approaches. Throughout this period of growth, a sense that large-scale (often distance-education based)
collaboration between universities and with industry would be beneficial has not always led to successful outcomes. Using
a new collaborative, industry-funded postgraduate coursework program as a case study, this paper describes the issues that
decision-makers need to address and evaluates the challenges and benefits of the coursework masters in higher education. The
outcomes of industry surveys, student interviews and action research suggest that postgraduate coursework can facilitate technology
transfer and aid capacity building, through mechanisms similar to ‘mode 2’ research. With some additional systems to ensure
sustainability and standards, this could position coursework masters to be uniquely valuable nationally.
