The future of academic publishing: Revolution or evolution?          下载免费PDF全文

Francis Dodds 《Learned Publishing》2018,31(2):163-168

Key points

• Concerns about a crisis in monograph publishing date back to at least the 1990s, and for traditional journal publishing at least a decade.
• Two key trends behind concerns over book and journal models are pressures on funding and the emergence of open access.
• Despite predictions of a revolution, the academic publishing sector has proved remarkably resilient in adapting to market changes.
• Whilst showing some support for ‘open science’, even early career researchers remain committed to traditional publishing models.
• The growth in scholarly collaboration networks and in sharing across traditional boundaries is the more likely disrupter of traditional publishing.

Science and report writing     

Dr. Rod Francis  Dr. Doug Hill 《Research in Science Education》1991,21(1):123-132

In recent years Australian primary schools have adopted an across-the-curriculum approach to writing. However, relatively little research has been conducted in the area of primary science. This paper reports the result of a small scale collaborative study involving a Year 2 and a Year 5 class, and their classroom teacher, which used science activities as the basis for developing report-writing skills using a framework consisting of three focus questions. Students in both classes learned to use the framework in one term and it was found that it improved the quality of reports. Specialisations: science and technology curriculum development, secondary and primary teacher education in agriculture, science and environmental education. Specialisations: cognition and curriculum, early childhood and primary teacher education in science and social education.  相似文献

What Future for Social Science?     

Francis Schrag 《Educational theory》2004,54(1):89-101

Each of the authors discussed in this review essay deplores the attempts of scholars in the human sciences to ape their colleagues in the natural sciences and economics. Their criticisms are not dissimilar, nor are they without merit, but it is important to ask the following questions: What would they offer in its place? What kind of warrantability do the alternatives promise? Can researchers avoid the dominant paradigms and still have something valuable to say to policymakers? The bulk of the review focuses on Bent Flyvbjerg's Making Social Science Matter, the best‐reasoned critique, and the one that offers the clearest alternative to the status quo.  相似文献   

Christian ethos secondary schools,parental church attendance and student attitude towards Christianity: exploring connections in England and Wales     

Leslie J. Francis  Andrew Village 《British Journal of Religious Education》2020,42(3):298-312

ABSTRACT

This study employs multi-level linear statistical modelling to examine the power of school-level and individual-level factors to predict individual differences in scores recorded on the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity by 6,036 students (who self-identified as either Christian or no religion) in year-seven, year-eight, year-nine, year-ten, and year-eleven classes within 10 Christian ethos secondary schools. The data demonstrate the complex relationships between school admission policies, parental church attendance (PCA), and the students’ age and sex. Overall PCA emerges as a decisive factor in promoting a positive attitude toward Christianity among students. Christian ethos schools may wish to give greater attention to the importance of parental religiosity in maintaining the Christian ethos of these schools.  相似文献   

Teaching Beginning Reading: A Case for Monitoring Feelings and Attitudes?     

Hazel Francis 《Literacy》1997,31(1):5-8

There is a good deal of evidence that children’s feelings about and attitudes towards an activity they do in school can have a considerable bearing upon their success in that activity. Hazel Francis suggests this is true with regard to reading and reports on a study which explored the information teachers could glean from monitoring children’s feelings about reading.  相似文献
