Do Raffles boys ‘rule’ and Anglo-Chinese boys ‘own’ Singapore? Analysing school-to-work correspondences in an elite developmental state     

Vincent Chua 《International Studies in Sociology of Education》2015,25(1):1-19

This paper utilises ideas of correspondence as a way of thinking about intersections between school and work in Singapore’s developmental state. Whereas the principle of correspondence predicts segregated patterns of association between school and work, this paper shows how a developmentalist form of political economy gives rise to crosscutting, rather than segregated patterns of school-to-work correspondences among the elite. Although the correspondence principle treats education and economy as major elements, it fails to consider what is arguably a far more revolutionary force – namely the state, which ultimately frames and mediates the pathways elite students take from school to work.  相似文献   

Researching female professors: the difficulties of representation,positionality and power in feminist research     

Kate Hoskins 《Gender and education》2015,27(4):393-411

This article draws on findings from my doctoral research to exemplify some of the difficulties I encountered when interviewing 20 female professors¹1. In the UK context, the title of ‘professor’ is reserved for full professors only – that is, those with either an established or personal chair. and subsequently writing about their life histories. In this article, I discuss how I addressed the issues of representing and positioning my participants, and I reflect on the power dynamics present in the research process. The article contends that by drawing on Bourdieu and Wacquant's [An Invitation to Reflexive Sociology. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press] understanding of reflexivity and feminist interpretations of their work including McNay [“Gender, Habitus and the Field: Pierre Bourdieu and the Limits of Reflexivity.” Theory Culture Society 16: 95] and Adkins [“Reflexivity Freedom or Habit of Gender?” Theory Culture Society 20: 21], valuable research can be produced, despite the difficulties. A related aim of this paper is to reflect back after four years in an academic post on my position as a novice researcher, and some of the associated issues facing doctoral students, particularly the problems with researching upwards [Walford, G. 2011 Walford, G. 2011. “Researching the Powerful.” British Educational Research Association on-line resource.

How stable is the stratification of higher education in England and Scotland?     

David Raffe  Linda Croxford 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2015,36(2):313-335

This paper asks whether the institutional hierarchies defined by ‘golden triangle’, other Russell Group, other pre-1992 and post-1992 universities in England, and by ancient, old and new universities in Scotland, have become weaker since the 1990s. Using indicators constructed from Universities and Colleges Admissions Service data for 1996–2010, the article finds a stable hierarchical relationship among the sectors within each country, with some indicators showing a slight widening of status differences between sectors towards the end of the period. The main exception was a slight ‘upgrading’ of new (post-1992) universities in Scotland early in the period. There was little change in the association of institutional sector with social class, but in England the association with private secondary schools became slightly stronger and the association with ethnicity weakened.  相似文献   

Language,institutional identity and integration: lived experiences of ESL teachers in Australia     

Sepideh Fotovatian 《Globalisation, Societies & Education》2015,13(2):230-245

Globalisation and increased patterns of immigration have turned workplace interactions to arenas for intercultural communication entailing negotiation of identity, membership and ‘social capital’. For many newcomer immigrants, this happens in an additional language and culture – English. This paper presents interaction experiences of four non-native English language teachers with other institutional members. It uses a sociocultural perspective of second language to map their approaches to negotiations of professional and institutional identities in and through these interactions. Their discussions highlight the role of language, cultural practices and the emic socio-political factors embedded within institutional interactions in individuals' identity negotiation and integration.  相似文献   

Re-examining and developing the notion of academic citizenship: A critical literature review     

Joclarisse Albia  Ming Cheng 《Higher Education Quarterly》2023,77(4):709-721

The notion of academic citizenship has been largely associated with the service role which is a part of academic work seen as additional to teaching and research. The changing landscapes of higher education and the increasing diversity of academic work have prompted debates on what academic citizenship means. This paper challenges the conventional association of academic citizenship with the service role and presents a critical review of the key themes and issues explored in extant literature on the subject. Drawing upon the general view of citizenship as practice, it proposes that the different dimensions of academic work be seen integratively, with academic citizenship reframed beyond the service role. We argue that academic citizenship needs to be conceptualised as a practice of enactment, that is, by the values, processes and means by which it is enacted and asserted as academics draw on freedoms, autonomy and individual motivations.  相似文献   

The diversity of university disciplinary profiles in research and teaching     

Angelika Tsivinskaya 《Higher Education Quarterly》2023,77(4):853-873

Is the ideal of a one-size-fits-all university model—where universities are capable of successfully performing all competencies simultaneously—ever achievable? Has the balance between teaching and research activities grown even more fragile or is such a balance unfeasible? In this paper, we review studies of institutional diversity in higher education and bibliometric analyses. We prose a two-dimensional typology based on diversity in teaching and research by scientific fields. We investigate the diversity in teaching and research, respectively, at the disciplinary level and address whether these primary activities mirror each other. As a measure of mismatch between the two activities, we assess the distribution of students and publications by scientific fields through a clustering analysis. Our study of higher education institutions (HEIs) in Russia reveals that private universities are less diverse both in research and teaching and have high teaching intensity compared to state universities. Expectedly, universities in the rankings have more diverse profiles and they have a higher research intensity.  相似文献   

制度变迁背景下影子银行体系生成逻辑的理论分析     

杨贺 《未来与发展》2014,(4):76-80,75

本文基于制度变迁理论,分析影子银行产生与发展的现实原因。采用博弈论的分析方法,对影子银行、正规金融机构、政府三个主体之间的博弈进行研究。研究显示：影子银行与正规金融机构二者有限度的合作使影子银行的制度安排在一定程度上满足非国有经济的金融制度需求;正式金融制度在一定程度上存在的非均衡状态．也是促进影子银行发展的关键因素：政府在影子银行的形成与发展过程中起着关键性的作用,它的策略行为决定了影子银行未来的发展规模、生存环境和演化方向。  相似文献   

双重网络嵌入、制度环境与区域创新能力     

熊焰  杨博旭 《科研管理》2022,43(6):32-42

    基于社会网络理论和制度理论,构建网络嵌入、制度环境和区域创新能力的理论模型。利用中国30个省份2005—2016年间的面板数据,探索了国际网络嵌入和本地网络嵌入对区域创新能力的影响机制,以及制度环境的调节作用。结果显示：国际网络嵌入促进了区域创新能力,而本地网络嵌入与区域创新能力之间存在倒U型关系。本地网络嵌入和国际网络嵌入之间存在交互效应,共同促进区域创新能力提升,且国际网络嵌入表现出对本地嵌入的替代性。市场化水平增强了国际网络嵌入对区域创新能力的正向作用,同时削弱了本地网络嵌入与区域创新能力之间的倒U型关系;东中西部地区发展的不平衡也导致了多重网络嵌入与区域创新能力关系的差异。  相似文献
