This article explores a key point of tension in contemporary discussions of community-university research engagement. Two perspectives are discussed. The first suggests that changes in the nature and structure of research have helped create democratic research spaces and opportunities within the university for communities. In this emerging (global) knowledge democracy movement, community-based researchers are increasingly seeking to connect lessons learned in local settings to the global context. The second perspective situates such developments in the context of the knowledge economy of higher education and suggests that community engagement is also developing in a manner that supports the advance of knowledge capitalism. The decisive tension is that universities around the world are being encouraged by governments to assume greater responsibility for economic development and to translate knowledge into products and services for the market – whilst at the same time being tasked to work with communities in alleviating the social and economic excesses of the market. 相似文献

An external change agent (ECA) was recently employed in three Queensland schools to align the school curriculum with the requirements
of the state’s high stakes test known as the Queensland Core Skills test (QCS). This paper reports on the teachers’ perceptions
of a change process led by an ECA. With the ever-increasing implementation of high stakes testing in Australian schools, teachers
are under mounting pressure to produce ‘results’. Therefore, in order to maximise their students’ success in these tests,
schools are altering their curricula to incorporate the test requirements. Rather than the traditional method of managing
such curriculum change processes internally, there is a growing trend for principals to source external expertise in the form
of ECAs. Although some academics, teachers, and much of the relevant literature, would regard such a practice as problematic,
this study found that in fact, teachers were quite open to externally led curriculum change, especially if they perceived
the leader to be knowledgeable and creditable in this area. 相似文献

The teacher as reflexive professional: making visible the excluded discourse in teacher standards 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In the current climate of accountability, political manoeuvring, changing curriculum, increasingly diverse student cohorts and community expectations, teachers, more than ever, need to develop the skills and abilities to be reflective and reflexive practitioners. This study examines national teacher professional standards from Australia and the UK to identify the extent to which reflexivity is embedded in key policy documents that are intended to guide the work of teachers in those countries. Using Margaret Archer's theories of reflexivity and morphogenesis, and methods of critical discourse analysis, we argue that these blueprints for teachers’ work exclude reflexivity as an essential and overarching discourse of teacher professionalism. 相似文献

The examination of research theses has only relatively recently attracted research interest that has focused on what examiners do and how consistent they are. The research questions in this study address firstly whether PhD and research masters theses were treated by examiners as qualitatively different on 12 indicators of importance across the areas: contribution of the thesis, the literature review, approach and methodology, analyses and results and presentation. Secondly what was the examiner assessment of quality of a recently examined thesis on the same indicators and, finally, how well the indicators were reflected in a holistic assessment of thesis quality. The work reported here draws on the responses of 353 PhD and 74 research masters thesis examiners. Findings showed the examiners generally rated the relative importance of the indicators very similarly at both degree levels. Further the order of importance across indicators was essentially the same for the two levels of thesis. Anticipated differences did emerge with the examiners giving higher quality gradings for all contribution indicators for PhD as compared with research masters theses. The 12 specific quality indicators, individually and collectively were strongly related to the holistic assessment of thesis quality, particularly at the PhD level. 相似文献

Theorists argue that one's personal view of communication affects the actual communicative relationship. This paper explores the positive, growth‐promoting implications for communication between generations when the model that persons bring to the cross‐generational relationship is transactional, and discusses implications of the transactional model for trainers and educators in gerontology. With the rising number of older persons in American society, the question for persons working on a consistent basis with the elderly (kin, social service provider, etc.) of how to relate most effectively on an interpersonal basis with an older person is an issue of great import. The authors suggest that the transactional perspective to interpersonal communication with older persons is the answer to most effectively dealing with factors affecting communication cross‐generationally and suggest that educators adopt this perspective. Factors that the transactional perspective addresses directly include negative stereotypes and fears of aging, crises encountered as the person ages, shifts during the later life cycle in exposure to interpersonal communication, and ability to negotiate relationships. 相似文献

Undergraduate university students (n = 132) completed a questionnaire containing measures of psychological variables, verbal ability, an evaluation of their course of study, and demographic characteristics. We also had access to their academic results. We examined the relationships among these variables, especially the psychological variables, and compared them with those posited by recent theoretical work that makes connections among motivation, self‐regulation, and self‐efficacy. We then looked at which variables predicted academic achievement. The sample contained two sub‐samples: mature‐age students who had entered university via an enabling program; and younger students who entered university on the basis of high school results. With universities under severe financial pressure, university‐run enabling programs must demonstrate their effectiveness in terms of students’ successful progress in undergraduate degrees if they are to continue. We compared these two groups of students on the measures noted above. 相似文献

As part of a major study of classroom environment conducted by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), primary and secondary teachers were asked the degree of responsibility they felt for various aspects of their teaching, such as the content and the way they taught, assessment practices, student progress and interactions with parents.The countries involved in the study were Australia, Canada (Ontario and Quebec), Hungary, Israel, the Netherlands, Nigeria, the Republic of Korea, and Thailand. When considered as a total group, the highest proportions of teachers felt responsible for the amount of homework set, followed by classroom organization and use made of tests. Less than half the teachers felt responsible for deciding on student progress and only a quarter for the topics they taught.When comparisons were made across countries, most teachers in Israel, Australia and Ontario, about half the teachers in Quebec, Nigeria and the Republic of Korea, and minorities of teachers in Hungary, the Netherlands and Thailand felt generally responsible. Possible links between teacher responsibility and professionalism are suggested.
Zusammenfassung Primar- und Sekundarlehrer wurden im Rahmen einer von der International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) durchgeführten größeren Studie betreffs der Gestaltung des Klassenzimmers über den Grad der Verantwortung, den sie für verschiedene Aspekte ihrer Lehrtätigkeit empfanden, befragt; so z. B. über Inhalt und Art des Lehrens, Bewertungspraktiken, Fortschritt der Schüler und wechselseitigen Einfluß mit den Eltern.Die in die Studie einbezogenen Länder waren Australien, Kanada (Ontario und Québec), Ungarn, Israel, die Niederlande, Nigeria, Südkorea und Thailand. Der größte Teil der Lehrer, als Gesamtgruppe betrachtet, fühlte sich für die Menge der gestellten Hausaufgaben verantwortlich, gefolgt von der Einrichtung des Klassenzimmers und der Durchführung von Klassenarbeiten; weniger als die Hälfte der Lehrer fühlte sich für die Beurteilung des Fortschritts der Schüler verantwortlich und nur ein Viertel für die von ihnen unterrichteten Themen.Bei Ländervergleichen stellte sich heraus, daß sich die meisten Lehrer in Israel, Australien und Ontario, ungefähr die Hälfte der Lehrer in Québec, Nigeria und Südkorea und nur wenige Lehrer in Ungarn, den Niederlanden und Thailand allgemein verantwortlich fühlten. Es werden mögliche Verbindungen zwischen Verantwortlichkeit der Lehrer und Professionalismus angedeutet.
Résumé Dans le cadre d'une étude majeure du milieu scolaire conduite par l'Association internationale de l'évaluation des résultats scolaires (IEA), on a demandé aux enseignants du primaire et du secondaire quel est le degré de responsabilité qu'ils éprouvent á l'égard des divers aspects de leur travail, tels que le contenu et la méthodologie qu'ils emploient, les techniques d'évaluation, la progression des apprenants et les interactions avec les parents.Les pays impliqués dans cette étude étaient l'Australie, le Canada (Ontario et Québec), la Hongrie, Israel, les Pays-Bas, Le Nigeria, la République de Corée et la Thailande. Considérés comme un groupe entier, la majorité des enseignants se sentaient responsables de la quantité de devoirs à faire à la maison, puis de l'organisation de la classe et enfin de l'utilisation faite des tests. Moins de la moitié des enseignants se sentaient responsables de la décision de la progression des élèves et seul un quart des maltres disaient être responsables des thèmes qu'ils enseignaient.Les comparaisons faites entre les pays ont révélé que la plupart des enseignants en Israel, en Australie et dans l'Ontario, environ la moitié des maltres au Québec, au Nigeria et en République de Corée, et quelques groupes insignifiants en Hongrie, aux Pays-Bas et en Thailande se sentaient responsables généralement. On mentionne ensuite les liens qui peuvent éventuellement être établis entre la responsabilité et le professionnalisme de l'enseignant.相似文献

Evaluation research focusing on educational initiatives that impact on the learning and lives of young people must be challenged to incorporate ‘student voice’. In a context of conventional evaluation models of government-led initiatives, student voice is a compelling addition, and challenges the nature of traditional forms of evaluation. It requires a student-first approach where young people actively report on their experiences, rather than being represented by others. This paper presents an evaluation that draws on large-scale ‘student voice’ contribution. Using the context of a mental health programme that was piloted in secondary schools in Aotearoa New Zealand, this paper explores the importance of a student voice agenda in evaluations. More than 2500 students participated through national surveys and an in-depth case study across five school sites. By foregrounding student voice as an evaluation tool, the ethics of student involvement becomes complex. When authentic student ‘data’ can change or challenge official thinking, students’ voice(s) can either be foregrounded or silenced. Commissioned evaluations are often fraught with wider political agendas, but evaluation researchers have a duty to ensure student voice is represented if it is to inform ongoing government policy that impacts on the lives and learning of young people. 相似文献
