Gender‐related differences in performance are a major concern in the public examination system in the UK which is undergoing major changes in both subject content and assessment technique. This is particularly so because the pattern of gender‐related performance is also changing. The paper examines these changes and challenges some of the current assumptions about gender related performance. In 1992 The University of London Examinations Council (ULEAC) and The National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) investigated the extent to which the structures and assessment techniques used within the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) actually amplify or reduce the gender‐related differences that exist in examination outcomes. Evidence was collected which suggested that coursework plays only a minimal role in explaining substantial differences in English and mathematics. Teacher and pupil expectations, entry policies and emphases within syllabuses seem to be more significant factors when accounting for the differences. The gender‐related patterns of performance in the GCSE are parallel to wider trends at an international level. 相似文献

Drastic immigration policies and economic conditions have resulted in unparalleled return rates to Mexico. Deported parents are faced with the difficult choice of leaving US-born children behind or taking them to their country of origin, where many face significant educational, cultural, and linguistic barriers. This study focuses on six families and the challenges they have faced living with undocumented status in the US, re-adjusting to life in Mexico, and the educational challenges faced by their children in both countries. 相似文献

This paper aims to explore the potential of a curriculum designed to develop Nussbaum's cosmopolitan abilities through two elective subjects offered to future engineers in a Spanish Technical University. To this end, Nussbaum's proposition of cosmopolitan abilities is presented in relation to the broader academic literature on cosmopolitanism and higher education. From this perspective, the origin, context and pedagogical rationale of the curriculum are described including the discussion of an exploratory study based on discourse analysis and how it has informed our pedagogical practice. Finally we argue for the importance of electives that develop cosmopolitan values for students of technical programmes in Higher Education and the need to consider the implications of their cessation as a consequence of the Bologna Process. 相似文献

- Collaboration between publishers and learned society partners can accelerate and amplify DEIA outcomes.
- 97 HSS titles have adopted alt-text publication workflows and this change has been welcomed by journal authors and editors.
- Efforts to promote global inclusivity do not always result in greater membership diversity, retention and growth.
- Top-down, publisher-led DEIA initiatives are effective when they are aligned strategically to pre-existing society initiatives.
- Bottom-up, member-led DEIA initiatives benefit from publisher support to mitigate financial and time-based barriers to active participation.
- To reliably track DEIA outcomes, publishers ought to adopt systematic data collection strategies through initiatives like C4 and the Joint Commitment.
