Strategic Management of Internationalisation Processes: Problems and Options   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Kehm  Barbara M. 《Tertiary Education and Management》1999,5(4):371-384

In the framework of their first SOCRATES/ERASMUS applications in1996, institutions of higher education in Europe were asked toformulate and submit a European Policy Statement (EPS) expressingthe managerial and strategic thrust of their European goals andactivities for which they wanted to receive support. As this wasa new exercise for many institutions, especially from countries inwhich mission statements are not the rule, the resulting EPSs oftencontained a number of inconsistencies with regard to institutionalstrategies and policies and with regard to the relationship betweeninstitutional and European goals and policies. The contributiondiscusses typical problems of the strategic management ofinternationalisation processes at higher education institutionsby presenting results of an analysis of these EPSs. It also drawssome conclusions regarding implications for future developments inthe context of institutional management of change and the conceptof the learning organisation.  相似文献   

Beyond Hazards and Disasters - Teaching Students Geoscience by Probing the Underlying Influence of Geology on Human Events     

Tewksbury  Barbara J. 《Science & Education》1999,8(6):645-663

An introductory geology course is described that both introduces geologic principles and explores the ways in which geology can have an underlying influence on human events that is much deeper and more subtle than the distribution of resource wealth and geologic hazards. The course aims primarily to help students draw connections between geology and the non-science topics with which many of them are more familiar. It revolves around a series of geologic topics that have direct relevance to particular pre-historic, historical, political, or economic issues in Africa. It is also designed to teach students rigorous geology in a setting that minimizes lecture and emphasizes instead hands-on investigative activities, self- and peer-teaching, and group-learning. The course serves as a model for designing similar courses.  相似文献

虚拟国际规范文档——连接德国国家图书馆和美国国会图书馆的规范文档   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Rick Bennett  顾犇 《国家图书馆学刊》2006,15(4):87-91

德国国家图书馆、美国国会图书馆和OCLC联机计算机图书馆中心联合开发了一个个人名称的虚拟国际规范文档(VIAF),它连接世界各国国家书目机构的规范记录,并免费提供网上检索,以证明自动连接不同国家规范文档的规范记录的可行性和优点.美国国会图书馆和德国国家图书馆的规范文档和书目文档被用来创建初始的VIAF,其中包括600多万个名称和50多万个连接.该项目的一个关键点是利用规范记录和其对应书目记录的信息开发自动名称匹配算法.该项目显示了用算法建立不同国家规范文档的个人名称之间连接的实用性.VIAF项目的长远目标是将许多国家图书馆和其他重要来源的规范名称结合起来,形成一个共享的全球规范服务.参考文献3.  相似文献   

Electronic Learning Delivery Systems: A Selection Model     

Peter J. Pallesen  Paul Haley  Edward S. Jones  Bobbie Moore  Dina E. Widlake  Karen L. Medsker 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》1999,12(4):7-32

Electronic learning delivery systems discussed include satellite networks, teleconferencing, Internet/Intranet networks, desktop multimedia, electronic performance support systems (EPSS), transportable audio/video (i.e., systems relying primarily on physically transportable audio-and videotaped materials), and the electronically enhanced classroom. Selecting one of these systems can be a daunting task when all relevant issues are considered. The selection model described in this article narrows the choices to the system most likely to be instructionally, economically, and technologically appropriate. After establishing working definitions, the model suggests four stages of user activity: 1) Assessing several important overall factors, including outcomes and conditions of learning, economics, synchronicity and location, and organizational culture; 2) Rating the importance of several learning system attributes to the training project; 3) Selecting the system that most ideally supports the attributes which the user has rated as important; and finally, 4) Validating the selection by reviewing the final choice in light of first stage overall factors.  相似文献   

Reading and Comprehension: a longitudinal study of ex‐Reading Recovery students     

Maggie Moore  Barrie Wade 《Educational studies》1998,24(2):195-203

The paper reports the results of a longitudinal case study conducted in Australia and New Zealand. The study compares the reading and comprehension age of children in their fifth and sixth years in school. Reading and comprehension ages of 121 children who had Reading Recovery intervention at age 6 were compared with those of a Comparison group of 121 children, drawn from the same classes who, at age 6 years, had been better performers in literacy. Reading and comprehension assessment was conducted with the use of the Neale Analysis of Reading and analysed by means of a t‐test. Results show that the mean reading age of ex‐Reading Recovery children was nearly 12 months superior to that of the Comparison group and that the mean comprehension age was nearly 13 months superior at very highly significant levels. The results strongly suggest that Reading Recovery tuition at age 6 years enabled the 121 ex‐Reading Recovery children to make greater progress in literacy than children in the Comparison group.  相似文献

Mathematics Teacher Research: Process, Practice and the Development of Teaching     

Barbara Jaworski 《Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education》1998,1(1):3-31

This paper discusses a study of teacher researchers undertaking research into self-chosen aspects of their own mathematics teaching at the secondary level. The study used qualitative methods to explore the processes and practices of this research and the issues which it raised. Emergent theory of teachers' research activity fitted strongly with a view of action research relating to critical reflective practice. The teachers were seen as reflective practitioners, developing knowledge and awareness through enhanced metacognitive activity. Their research was characterised as evolutionary, in contrast with established patterns of action research. Despite differences in the substance of each teacher's research there were commonalities which provide insights into the conducting of research by teachers and its potential for the development of mathematics teaching. The special nature of mathematics in this research, and the role of external researchers in the project, were important considerations.  相似文献   

Significant Influences on the Development of Adults’ Environmental Awareness in the UK,Slovenia and Greece     

Joy A. Palmer  Jennifer Suggate  Barbara Bajd  Elissavet Tsaliki 《Environmental Education Research》1998,4(4):429-444

This article provides an overview and discussion of the relative importance of various categories of significant influences and formative life experiences on the development of environmental educators’ knowledge of and concern for the environment. A previous article in this journal (Palmer & Suggate, 1996) presents relevant findings deriving from the UK and analyses the ways in which the importance of influences may change through time or be affected by the subject's age. Here, the team of international authors presents data from three European countries and engages in both location‐specific and cross‐cultural comparative analysis.  相似文献
