Choosing a major in higher education: Profiles of students’ decision-making process     

Veerle Germeijs  Koen Luyckx  Guy Notelaers  Luc Goossens  Karine Verschueren 《Contemporary educational psychology》2012

This study identified decision-making profiles of students who make a choice of a major in higher education. These profiles were examined in a sample of Belgian students at the end of Grade 12, when the educational system expects that these adolescents choose a specific major. Using latent class cluster analysis on adolescents’ scores for coping with career decisional tasks (i.e., orientation, exploration, decisional status, and commitment), four clusters were identified. As expected, these profiles paralleled Marcia’s (1966) identity statuses (i.e., the achievement, moratorium, foreclosure, and diffusion status). Results provided support for the external validity of the identified clusters through differential associations with several person variables (i.e., career decision-making self-efficacy, career choice anxiety, and decision-making style) and with academic functioning in higher education (i.e., commitment, academic and social adjustment). Implications for current educational research and research on career decision-making are discussed.  相似文献

An international structure for library education     

Guy A. Marco 《International Information and Library Review》2013,45(4):357-363

The training of information personnel at the middle level in Africa is discussed. The data were derived from the latest issues of the prospectuses of the library schools at the University of Ibadan and Botswana as well as a questionnaire designed to ascertain the characteristics of the trainees in both institutions. The study reveals that the curricula of both schools extend beyond preparing trainees for the techniques and processes of a library. The trainees in both schools have sufficient educational background and library/information work experience to enable them to manage the many one-man libraries scattered all over Africa effectively, after undergoing the diploma training. It is recommended that an amalgam of the curricula of both schools can be made the standard curriculum for any institution involved in a training programme for information personnel at this level.  相似文献   

Intermedia Agenda Setting in Television,Advertising, and Blogs During the 2004 Election     

Kaye D. Sweetser  Guy J. Golan  Wayne Wanta 《Mass Communication and Society》2013,16(2):197-216

This study examined whether the candidate-controlled public relations tools of political ads and candidate blogs were successful in influencing the issue and news agenda of the major television news networks during the 2004 presidential election. Data showed strong correlations between blogs and the media agenda. Advertisements did not correlate with the media agenda. Cross-lag analyses showed that the media set the candidates' agenda. The authors suggest intermedia agenda setting occurred as the media transferred their agenda to campaign blogs.  相似文献   

The Construction of Social Class in Social Work Education: A Study of Introductory Textbooks     

Roni Strier  Guy Feldman  Corey Shdaimah 《Journal of Teaching in Social Work》2013,33(4):406-420

Social work introductory textbooks reflect myriad practical interests, pedagogical concerns, and theoretical considerations. However, they also present students with accepted views, dominant perspectives, and main discourses of knowledge. In light of this centrality, the present article examines the representation of the concept of “social class” in introductory textbooks as a way to look at the construction of the concept in social work education. Based on the content analysis study of 50 introductory textbooks, the article suggests that social work education has overlooked or even denied the relevance of social class. Class differences, as part of other categories of power such as race, ethnicity, and gender are crucial factors in explaining diversity and inequality. As social justice is one of the main premises of social work, the question of how to prepare students to deal with class issues as future practitioners seems to be very important, especially in light of increasing social class gaps.  相似文献

A cognitive approach to threshold concepts   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Guy Walker 《Higher Education》2013,65(2):247-263

This paper asks a fundamental question: what is happening inside the mind of the undergraduate during teaching and learning experiences, and how should curricula be designed to support it? A number of concepts lend themselves to providing an answer, principle among which is the relatively recent idea of Threshold Concepts. In this paper we attempt to critically evaluate both the ‘product’ and ‘process’ of Threshold Concepts and subject the idea to a stress test by comparing it to the longer established Schema Theory of Learning. This mapping enabled a novel empirical study involving undergraduate civil engineering students to be performed. The methods derived from Schema Theories of learning provide a set of findings that compliment and strengthen certain key areas of Threshold Concepts, as well as leading to the development of some interesting principles of curriculum design.  相似文献   

The War: The Story of One Rural College's Battle for Survival     

Guy E. Mills 《Peabody Journal of Education》2014,89(5):639-651

This paper intends to describe the recent experience of a small, rural, two-year technical college. After four decades of success, the college had found itself in a difficult situation with a substantial loss in enrollment and diminished state and local support, coupled with low campus employee morale. In response, the college team closed ranks and rallied in what has become quite a proactive and successful effort to reinvent itself. After nearly six years of working to correct a number of issues that had led to decline, the college gained a general sense of stabilization, made advances in existing and new academic programs and technical innovation, dramatically increased diversity, and enhanced student life opportunities with the addition of an array of successful athletic programs. The college has seen significant increases in enrollment, state and national recognition for technical initiatives, and a collectively positive sense of the future.  相似文献

Running in the Sun: The Pyongyang Marathon and its Evolution into a Sport Tourism Event     

Guy Podoler 《国际体育史杂志》2016,33(18):2207-2225

Abstract

In April 2014, for the first time since the event was established, over 200 foreign recreational runners participated in the Pyongyang Marathon, which is part of Day of the Sun commemorating the birthday of Kim Il-sung. The decision of the North Korean regime to open the event to foreign amateurs was unusual, thus the paper examines this new approach to the marathon, and to tourism in general, by contextualizing them within an historical perspective. It is argued that tourism policy under Kim Jong-un, the third leader of the ‘Kim dynasty’, was unprecedented in terms of its systematic approach to the development of a meaningful tourism industry while also particularly emphasizing Western tourism and sport tourism. With the inclusion of the marathon into its tourism industry, North Korea strengthened its place in the worldwide trend of sport event tourism, yet the Pyongyang Marathon has stood out by being more about branding a country than a city. In this regard, this sport tourism event has offered the visitors a look into a ‘different normality’, which was indicative to the rationale of the regime that benefited from the attention it drew through its image as ‘unexpected’ and ‘mysterious’.  相似文献
