Change Readiness among Teaching Staff at Anadolu University,Turkey     

Yavuz Akbulut  Abdullah Kuzu  Colin Latchem  Ferhan Odabaşi 《Distance Education》2007,28(3):335-350

Turkey’s Anadolu University is one of the world’s largest mega‐universities. It is engaged in strategic planning in response to changes in the expectations of the Turkish Higher Education Council and the community at large. In re‐examining its vision and strategic directions, Anadolu University needs to be informed on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of its teaching staff, and the systems and support needed to assure their change readiness. This article examines the literature of organizational and educational change and its implications for the university. It reports on a study based on the relevant constructs from the literature and is designed to gauge the extent and nature of teaching staff knowledge, skills, practice, and research in educational and technological change, motivating and de‐motivating factors, change adopter types, and perceptions of the organizational climate for change. It considers the implications of these findings and draws conclusions about what would be needed to improve staff readiness for change.  相似文献   

Individual performance across motoric self-regulation tasks are not correlated for pet dogs

Inhibitory control, the ability to restrain a prepotent but ineffective response in a given context, is thought to be indicative of a species’ cognitive abilities. This ability ranges from “basic” motoric self-regulation to more complex abilities such as self-control. During the current study, we investigated the motoric self-regulatory abilities of 30 pet dogs using four well-established cognitive tasks – the A-not-B Bucket task, the Cylinder task, the Detour task, and the A-not-B Barrier task – administered in a consistent context. One main goal of the study was to determine whether the individual-level performance would correlate across tasks, supporting that these tasks measure similar components of motoric self-regulation. Dogs in our study were quite successful during tasks requiring them to detour around transparent barriers (i.e., the Cylinder and Detour tasks), but were less successful with tasks requiring the production of a new response (i.e., A-not-B Bucket and A-not-B Barrier tasks). However, individual dog performance did not correlate across tasks, suggesting these well-established tasks likely measure different inhibitory control abilities, or are strongly influenced by differential task demands. Our results also suggest other aspects such as perseveration or properties of the apparatus may need to be carefully examined in order to better understand canine motoric self-regulation or inhibitory control more generally.  相似文献   

Early language development and kindergarten phonological awareness as predictors of reading problems: from 3 to 11 years of age     

Olofsson A  Niedersøe J 《Journal of learning disabilities》1999,32(5):464-472

At the end of Grade 4, 481 children on the Danish island of Bornholm were screened using group tests for sentence reading. For 205 of these children, language and speech data from the speech therapist's screening at age 3 were available, as well as language comprehension and linguistic awareness data from the kindergarten year (age 6) and word decoding measures in Grades 2 and 3. A path analysis revealed significant paths from early language abilities at age 3 through expressive and receptive language in kindergarten via language awareness in kindergarten and word decoding in Grade 2 to sentence reading in Grades 3 and 4. The subgroup of children with parents who had reported a history of reading problems at school entry scored significantly below average on sentence reading in Grade 4. The subgroup of children that were reported to show a very low interest in books and story reading before age 5 also scored low on sentence reading in Grade 4. Statistically significant but weak relationships were also found between parents' educational background, parents' library visits, and number of books at home and the child's reading ability in Grade 4.  相似文献

Mobile marketing research: The-state-of-the-art     

Kaan Varnali  Ayşegül Toker 《International Journal of Information Management》2010

Rapid proliferation in the business potential of mobile marketing attracts researchers from various fields to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the phenomena. Although the literature on mobile marketing is accumulating, the stream of research is still in the development stage, hence is highly inconsistent and fragmented. This paper aims to organize and classify the literature on mobile marketing and assess the-state-of-the-art in order to facilitate future research. The review covers 255 peer-reviewed journal articles from 82 journals published between 2000 and 2008. The resulting framework summarizes the progress in mobile marketing research and provides future research directions.  相似文献   

基于风险偏好的信息系统安全技术选择与配置策略研究          下载免费PDF全文

方玲  仲伟俊  梅姝娥 《科研管理》2017,38(12):165-172

以IDSs和人工调查技术组合为例,通过构建博弈模型,分析了风险偏好对信息系统安全技术选择与配置的影响,认为组织风险偏好不仅影响着自身的策略也将影响对方的策略。研究结论显示风险厌恶型组织配置IDS数量并不总是高于风险中立型组织,组织风险偏好对其部署单IDS还是多IDSs甚至无直接影响。同时组织在黑客期望收益很低时对风险厌恶型黑客的人工调查率更高,而在黑客期望收益很高时其对风险中立型黑客的调查率更高。此外,黑客在组织人工调查成本较低时更倾向于入侵风险中立型组织,在人工调查成本很高时更愿意入侵风险厌恶型组织。  相似文献

The experiences of deaf and hard of hearing students at a Queensland University: 1985–2005     

Merv Hyde  Renée Punch  Des Power  Judy Hartley  Jennifer Neale  Lesleigh Brennan 《高等教育研究与发展》2009,28(1):85-98

This article reports on the experiences of deaf and hard of hearing students at a Queensland university, which offers an extensive deaf student support program. Seventy‐two current students and graduates since the program’s inception twenty years ago completed a survey about their experiences, highlights, challenges and use of communication tools and support services at university. Findings indicate, both quantitatively and qualitatively, that students valued the specialised support services they received, although challenges in accessing the academic curriculum remained for many students. In the important area of social factors, many students reported enjoying satisfying friendships and a sense of belonging with other deaf people, often for the first time, while others experienced feelings of social isolation in a largely hearing peer group. Overall, deaf and hard of hearing students who had attended Griffith over the 20 years had a high rate of graduation, comparing favourably with other university students.  相似文献
