Alternative Models for Doctoral Mentor Organisation and Research Supervision     

David C. Price  Arthur H. Money 《Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning》2013,21(2):127-135

The design and delivery of a professionally-oriented, management, doctoral programme introduces new criteria for the selection and training of mentors and supervisors. An internationally dispersed student body of mobile, senior business and academic professionals compounds the problems. This article considers alternative models for delivery and exemplifies course design issues through a development in a major management college. Issues of semi-remote and remote mentoring and supervision are illustrated with examples from a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programme, showing the need for disaggregation and reconstitution of the mentoring and supervisory roles and their sensitive application, given the international mobility of most of the students.  相似文献   

A timeline of the racialist movement in the United States: A teaching tool     

Paul J. Becker  Arthur J. Jipson  Rebecca Katz 《Journal of Criminal Justice Education》2013,24(2):427-453

Since the 1995 bombing of the Alfred R. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, academics and the general public have shown increased interest in white racial extremist and other right-wing radical groups. The interest in understanding any form of extreme intolerance requires locating the historical development of the ideas, beliefs, and actions espoused through the legislation of miscegenation in our nation's history and by extremist organizations. A chronology, used as a teaching tool, reviews the unique strands of extreme beliefs and actions and connects these understandings to the growth of racialist and extremist ideologies in the United States. This timeline provides a tool for instructors and other interested individuals in gaining an understanding of such groups by locating key developments within the laws as well as within the white racial extremist movement. Thus this chronology focuses on legislative acts and Supreme Court decisions that mirror our nation's early white racialist history. Additionally, this timeline also provides information about other social movement forces that may have affected the white racial extremist movement.  相似文献   

COURSE DROP PRACTICES IN TWO‐YEAR COLLEGES     

Arthur R. Southerland  Patricia Kramer Lowry 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2013,37(2):101-109

Course drop practices among two‐year colleges were surveyed. Examined were deadlines by which courses were dropped, grades received when classes were dropped, who initiates drop procedures, and the extent to which policies related to the above stated practices have been recently changed. One fourth of the institutions reported a drop deadline of between four and six weeks from the end of the term. Almost that many (21.98 percent) used 10 days prior to the final exam as a deadline. More than two‐thirds of the colleges allowed students to drop prior to the deadline with a non‐punitive “W” grade. In the majority of instances, the official drop procedures may be initiated by either the student or the instructor. Community college administrators need to examine course drop policies in light of institutional statements of mission, philosophy, and objectives. Based upon dialogue among the staff, appropriate policy revisions should be developed in order to coordinate the rhetoric and the regulations of the college.  相似文献   

The American Community College Story,Take Two: An Unfinished Essay     

Arthur D. Stumpf 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2013,37(7):566-574

The author observes that community college administrators perform their duties on ambiguous and uncertain intellectual and environmental landscapes, so they continually search for meaning and purpose in organizational life. This article proposes a straightforward approach to answering several questions related to the quest for meaning and purpose, and relates the discussion to the origination of the junior college movement at the turn of the 20th century. The article concludes with implications for practice by analyzing how community college administrators pursue meaning and purpose by reflecting creatively on theory and practice of the past, present, and future.  相似文献   

Evaluating the Influence of an Urban High School Reform Effort on College Readiness and Access Outcomes: A Quasiexperimental Cohort Study     

Toni A. Sondergeld  John M. Fischer  Arthur N. Samel  Christine M. Knaggs 《Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk》2013,18(3-4):212-232

It is widely accepted that postsecondary education has become a necessity for US youth. College access, however, has been found not to be equal for all. As a result, federally funded college-readiness programs, such as Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP), have been established to increase the numbers of economically disadvantaged students with access to college. This quasiexperimental case study compared academic and nonacademic college-readiness indicators between cohorts of GEAR UP students and nonparticipants in 1 urban high school. Overall, cohorts of GEAR UP students outperformed their non-GEAR UP peers on all measures (grade-point average, attendance rate, behavior, graduation rate, and college enrollment) despite a dramatic demographic shift that led to greater proportions of educationally disadvantaged students in the GEAR UP cohorts.  相似文献   

Reliability and validity of field-based fitness tests in youth soccer players     

James H. Dugdale  Calum A. Arthur  Dajo Sanders  Angus M. Hunter 《European Journal of Sport Science》2019,19(6):745-756

This study aimed to establish between-day reliability and validity of commonly used field-based fitness tests in youth soccer players of varied age and playing standards, and to discriminate between players without (“unidentified”) or with (“identified”) a direct route to professional football through their existing club pathway. Three-hundred-and-seventy-three Scottish youth soccer players (U11–U17) from three different playing standards (amateur, development, performance) completed a battery of commonly used generic field-based fitness tests (grip dynamometry, standing broad jump, countermovement vertical jump, 505 (505COD) and T-Drill (T-Test) change of direction and 10/20 m sprint tests) on two separate occasions within 7–14?days. The majority of field-based fitness tests selected within this study proved to be reliable measures of physical performance (ICC?=?0.83–0.97; p?p?2 (7)?=?101.646, p?相似文献

Cuba: Au Dela De L'education Rurale Integree     

Arthur Gillette 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1978,24(2):187-196

Résumé Se basant sur des expériences d'éducation rurale intégrée faites par certains pays en voie de développement, l'auteur examine l'objet d'une telle éducation et ses chances de succès. Un exemple positif est donné par Cuba où tout l'ancien système d'éducation, essentiellement centré sur l'activité urbaine a été transformé et axé sur la terre pour répondre avant tout aux besoins de la population rurale. Le plan d'apprentissage prévu pour les ouvriers et les paysans a été unifié dans son contenu et dans ses structures afin que l'éducation en zone rurale et destinée à des personnes qui auront une activité rurale, ne présente pas ce caractère de bouche-trou qu'elle a dans d'autres pays. La solution aux problèmes pratiques est rangée au premier plan; on le constate dans l'éducation secondaire et universitaire où la réforme n'a pas seulement introduit des stages (agricoles) mais a aussi changé l'orientation du système tout entier afin d'offrir à la population rurale une occasion d'améliorer ses conditions de vie.

On the basis of experiences made by some developing countries with integrated rural education, the goal of such education and its chances of success are discussed. A succesful example is the land-centred education in Cuba, where the entire—previously urban—centred educational system has been transformed into one serving primarily the needs of the rural population. Learning provision for workers and for peasants has been largely unified in content and organisation. Thus education in rural areas and for rural occupations does not have the stopgap character it has in some other countries. Emphasis is on the solution of practical problems. This is illustrated by the example of university and secondary education. The goal has been not merely to introduce practical (agricultural) training but to change the orientation of the entire system so as to offer the rural population a chance of improving their living conditions.

Zusammenfassung Ausgehend von den Erfahrungen mit einer integrierten ruralen Erziehung in einigen Entwicklungsländern, wird das Ziel und die Erfolgschancen dieser Erziehung diskutiert. Als positives Beispiel wird die land-zentrierte Bildung in Kuba vorgestellt, wo das gesamte Bildungswesen bewusst auf die Bedürfnisse der Landbevölkerung ausgerichtet wurde. Das Bildungswesen wurde vereinheitlicht, wobei Bildungsweg und Bildungsinhalte nicht mehr nach dem alten Typ des stadtzentrierten Unterrichts organisiert sind. Das Bildungsangebot ist für Arbeiter und Bauern weitgehend vereinheitlicht. Dadurch bekam die Bildung auf und für das Land nicht den Lückenbüssercharakter wie in manchen anderen Ländern. Bei dieser mehr auf ländliche Gebiete hin orientierten Bildung steht die Lösung praktischer Probleme im Vordergrund, wie dies am Beispiel der universitären- und der Sekundarbildung erläutert wird. Es geht nicht darum, nur (landwirtschaftliche) Praktika einzuführen, sondern die gesamte Orientierung zu verändern, um insbesondere der Landbevölkerung die Perspektive besserer Lebensverhältnisse auf dem Lande zu vermitteln.
