How the Collegiate Religious and Spiritual Climate Shapes Students’ Ecumenical Orientation     

Alyssa Bryant Rockenbach  Matthew J. Mayhew 《Research in higher education》2013,54(4):461-479

Using data from the collegiate religious and spiritual climate survey, this study examined the relationship between campus climate and ecumenical orientation. Space for spiritual support and expression, provocative encounters with worldview diversity, and challenging curricular experiences are associated with ecumenical orientations, but some effects are conditional on students’ worldview.  相似文献   

Connecting online learners with diverse local practices: the design of effective common reference points for conversation     

Alyssa Friend Wise  Poornima Padmanabhan  Thomas M. Duffy 《Distance Education》2009,30(3):317-338

This mixed‐methods study probed the effectiveness of three kinds of objects (video, theory, metaphor) as common reference points for conversations between online learners (student teachers). Individuals’ degree of detail‐focus was examined as a potentially interacting covariate and the outcome measure was learners’ level of tacit knowledge related to their practice (teaching). Analysis was conducted using hierarchical linear modeling and significant results were followed up with a qualitative theme analysis. An interaction between reference point type and detail‐focus was found, demonstrating a positive effect of detail‐focus within the metaphor condition. Unexpectedly, some participants interpreted the metaphors in ways other than those intended, leading to differences in the kinds of understandings developed. The study indicated that a conceptual frame is an important characteristic of a reference point that will be truly taken in common, and that metaphors need additional framing to be viable in this role. Implications for online learning conversation design are discussed.  相似文献   

To have or to be? The interplay between knowledge structure and market identity in knowledge-based alliance formation     

Angeloantonio Russo  Clodia Vurro  Rajiv Nag 《Research Policy》2019,48(3):571-583

We explore how a firm’s knowledge structure characteristics and market identity—as reflected in its position in the industry value chain and market status—influence knowledge-based alliance (KBA) formation. We propose that a firm’s propensity to form KBAs is affected by the congruence (or misalignment) between its knowledge structure characteristics (i.e., knowledge depth and scope) and the role it plays in the industry, as demanded by its position in the value chain. We further argue that while a firm’s market status can amplify the positive effect of the congruence, thereby enhancing a firm’s proclivity to form KBAs, being prominent can also hurt a firm when it faces a misalignment between its knowledge structure characteristics and externally induced expectations related to its value chain position. We validate our arguments using panel data on 1051 firm-year observations for 197 firms patenting in the global fuel cell industry for the period 1999–2009. By developing a richer understanding of the relationship between a firm’s knowledge-based resources and KBA formation, we answer the call for a better understanding of how and when firms can leverage their internal knowledge configurations to improve their proclivity to form alliances.  相似文献
