The health and wellbeing of international students at an Australian university     

Doreen Anne Rosenthal  Jean Russell  Garry Thomson 《Higher Education》2008,55(1):51-67

A representative sample of undergraduate and postgraduate international students at a large Australian university (n=979, 64% females) completed a mail-back survey of their health and wellbeing. Most students evaluated their current and previous physical and mental health positively. Health-related risk practices such as unprotected sexual activity, drug use, smoking and gambling, were reported by few students. There was little change in health or risk behaviours since coming to Australia and few changes that were health compromising. Few demographic or situational variables, including age and gender, had a significant impact on students' wellbeing. This study has revealed that few international students find the experience of studying in an overseas country detrimental to their wellbeing. Nevertheless, for those students who encounter difficulties or are at increased risk of health-compromising outcomes, we must ensure better delivery of health promotion education, and access to, and use of, available counselling and health services.

Technology in Physical Education Teacher Education: A Call to Action     

Jennifer M. Krause  Kason O’Neil  Emily Jones 《Quest (Human Kinetics)》2020,72(3):241-259

ABSTRACT

Teacher education programs have been tasked with the responsibility to develop educators who can successfully infuse technology into their teaching. Despite standards-based expectations, a plethora of technology infusion opportunities, and the importance of faculty roles as models and teachers, physical education teacher education (PETE) programs have yet to demonstrate current expectations for teaching with and about educational technology. In this article, the authors provide a glimpse into the educational technology requirements, challenges, and strategies for teacher education/PETE programs. The authors suggest a call to action among PETE programs to address the issues that prevent PETE graduates from entering their teaching careers less than equipped to effectively use technology to enhance teaching and learning.  相似文献   

Seven keys for implementing the self-evaluation,periodic evaluation and accreditation (AVA) method,to improve quality and student satisfaction in the Italian higher education system     

Federica Murmura  Laura Bravi 《Quality in Higher Education》2016,22(2):167-179

This paper develops a theoretical framework that could facilitate the application of the Autovalutazione, Valutazione periodica, Accreditamento (AVA) method in Italian universities, trying to simplify the use of this approach, and to cover the existing gap between Italy and others European academic institutions. The new competitive environment in the academic system has created a reality where customers compare the ‘knowledge value’ that they are likely to receive in each academic institution. Quality in education is nowadays fundamental and student satisfaction is one of its main dimensions. There is an emphasis on service that meets the students’ needs and expectations, problem-solving processes based on facts, feedback systems and statistical methods and improvement of processes and systems by collaboration and involvement. Starting from 2013, all Italian universities are obliged by law to adopt the AVA method [Self-Evaluation, Periodic Evaluation and Accreditation], a system of activities carried out by the National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes (ANVUR).  相似文献

科学选才:转型期中国高考政策变革的重要利益诉求   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

申永丰 《湖北招生考试》2007,(8)

科学选才是中国高考政策的重要利益诉求,它较多与集中地反映了效率优先的理念,但与公平选才这一高考政策的基本利益取向存在一定的矛盾,在现有考试技术尚无法对考生进行准确、全面考评的情况下,科学选才成为转型期中国高考政策变革面临的现实难题。对此,可以通过改革高校招生计划管理形式、高考内容与形式、健全高考监督制约机制等措施,营造有利于科学选才的政策环境,提高高考改革的效度和信度。  相似文献
