What every worker wants? Evidence about employee demand for learning     

Jeanette Findlay  Patricia Findlay  Chris Warhurst 《British Educational Research Journal》2012,38(3):515-532

In order to boost learning, recent UK governments have invested in trade union‐led workplace learning. Investing in the supply of learning is useful but ignores the demand for learning by workers, about which there is little research. This paper addresses this lacunae by analysing worker demand for learning, which workers want learning, what learning is demanded and why, and what factors might best lever learning. Data come from two surveys of potential learners and union learning representatives. Findings reveal a large demand for learning and that unions can lever this learning. Findings also suggest further policy development to address problems associated with union‐led learning.  相似文献

Education on sexually transmitted infections: finding common ground among youth,parents, providers and policy advocates     

Joan R. Cates 《Sex education》2013,13(2):129-143

Outcomes from sex education are shaped not only by the knowledge and attitudes of youth but also by groups influential in young people's lives. American youth bear one of the highest rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the industrialized world. Four constituencies with important roles in communicating about STIs are youth, parents, healthcare providers and policy advocates of sex education. This paper aims to understand the attitudes held by these key groups and to ascertain common ground. Eight focus groups were conducted with: youth 15–23 years old (n = 20), parents of youth 10–19 years old (n = 18), healthcare providers (n = 17), and advocates working with national policymakers (n = 6). Participants discussed the issue of STIs in youth within both individual and societal contexts: the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of individual youth – Ignorance, Exploration, Peer Pressure, Denial, and Indifference; and the influence of segments of society that could affect decisions by youth – Sex is a taboo topic, Reluctant communication by parents, Restricted school education, Limited communication by doctors, Poor role models, and Missing information in media. Understanding the groups' common ground of individual and societal contexts may provide a foundation for more effective sex education.  相似文献

Criminal justice theory: an introduction     

Mary Jeanette Clement 《Journal of Criminal Justice Education》2013,24(2):253-270

Academic dishonesty has caught the attention of various researchers who document increases in its occurrence and variety. A review of empirical literature notes occurrence and types, especially of new kinds called “cybercheats.” Twenty-three law cases dealing with students who were charged with honor violations are also discussed throughout the paper. The paper discusses some of the newer problems of detection, i.e., cheating on tests in the classroom and cheating on outside assignments. Prevention is discussed in primary, secondary, and tertiary terms. Practical prevention strategies are offered from other criminal justice educators and an honor code coordinator who handled over 50 cases of dishonor for a large university. Prevention is important for professors because they have some control over the process and can help fend off a lawsuit, or when sued, defend oneself.  相似文献   

Whose Quality Conventions? The Application of Convention Theory in Higher Education     

Jeanette Baird 《Tertiary Education and Management》2013,19(1):67-79

Internationally, demands for greater certainty over the quality of higher education are multiplying. This article argues that convention theory offers insights for considering quality in higher education in an increasingly market‐based system. Examples from the Australian higher education system are used to show how quality conventions can be mapped at varying system levels and across varying actors and how the existing taxonomy of quality in higher education can be located in a wider social and economic framework. It is suggested that this approach assists in identifying those quality conventions which may become dominant across stakeholder groups.  相似文献   

Rhetorical theory as message reception: A cognitive response approach to rhetorical theory and criticism     

William L. Benoit  Mary Jeanette Smythe 《Communication Studies》2013,64(1):96-114

Traditional rhetorical theory tends to adopt the rhetor's point of view, emphasizing invention of rhetorical messages, rather than the audience's reception and interpretation of messages. The audience is ordinarily conceptualized in humanistic rhetorical theory as a target, a source of expectations to guide the rhetor's invention, a means to accomplish the rhetor's ends, or even an obstacle. We argue that a more complete view of rhetoric should include the audience as a potentially active part of the process of persuasion. Accordingly, we propose to supplement our traditional theories of rhetoric by sketching a complementary view of rhetoric as the process of an auditor's processing and responding to messages. The inspiration for this conception, Petty and Cacioppo's Elaboration Likelihood Model, is sketched, and implications for rhetorical theory and criticism are discussed.  相似文献
