Longitudinal analysis of the environmental attitudes of university students

This article addresses the important questions that higher education institutions ask concerning their impact on their students’ sustainability-related attributes ‘How do our students’ worldviews change as they experience higher education with us?’ The process of monitoring such a dynamic entity is fraught with statistical complexity but may not be impossible for an institution willing to ask whether or not its educational efforts in ‘education for sustainability’, ‘education for sustainable development’ or ‘environmental education’, and campus sustainability developments, are paralleled by changes in the attitudes of its students. We describe here a longitudinal survey process based on the revised New Ecological Paradigm scale, with two cohorts of students, in three programmes of study, operating over four years, with multiple survey inputs by each student. We implemented the longitudinal analysis using a linear mixed-effects model and describe here the development and testing of this model. We conclude that higher education institutions can benchmark the sustainability attributes of their students and monitor changes, if they are minded to. We invite higher education practitioners worldwide to join us in further developing suitable research instruments, processes and statistical models, and in further analysing the assumptions that link higher education to sustainability and to global citizenship.  相似文献   

压力与学习的互惠:对积极塑造者假说的纵贯实证检验     

杨柳青  梁巧转  赵欣 《科技管理研究》2014,(21)

引入积极塑造者假说阐释工作压力与员工学习间的互惠关系,构建二者的良性循环,并据此提出两项中介假设;以研究院所、管理咨询机构的知识型员工为样本,采用两期107份纵贯样本进行回归分析;结果显示,员工学习中介工作压力与工作资源之间的正向关系,工作资源中介员工学习与工作压力之间的负向关系,压力与学习构成良性循环;研究表明,面对压力,积极塑造者将展开适应学习,习得知识后,积极塑造者将改变工作、获取资源以缓解压力,工作压力与员工学习良性互惠、员工福祉和技能螺旋上升。  相似文献   

基于战略导向的企业产品创新绩效研究——研发网络的视角     

魏江  张妍  龚丽敏 《科学学研究》2014,32(10)

通过对一个医药企业20年的纵向研究,剖析了其研发网络特征对产品创新绩效的作用以及战略导向对研发网络特征的作用。结果表明,焦点企业的研发网络特征会正向影响其产品创新绩效。相较于网络规模小、网络封闭、网络资源单一的研发网络,网络规模较大、网络开放、网络资源异质性较高的研发网络能为焦点企业带来更高的产品创新绩效。此外,焦点企业的战略导向会正向影响其研发网络特征。具体而言,市场导向只会在一定程度上正向影响其研发网络规模,而创业导向会在很大程度上正向影响研发网络的三个特征;单一市场导向对产品创新绩效影响较小,当高水平市场导向与高水平创业导向相结合,形成一种互补协同的战略导向组合时,产品创新绩效更高。  相似文献   

How to facilitate freshmen learning and support their transition to a university study environment     

Jari Kangas  Elisa Rantanen  Lauri Kettunen 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2017,42(6):668-683

Most freshmen enter universities with high expectations and with good motivation, but too many are driven into performing instead of true learning. The issues are not only related to the challenge of comprehending the substance, social and other factors have an impact as well. All these multifaceted needs should be accounted for to facilitate student learning. Learning is an individual process and remarkable improvement in the learning practices is possible, if proper actions are addressed early enough. We motivate and describe a study of the experience obtained from a set of tailor-made courses that were given alongside standard curriculum. The courses aimed to provide a ‘safe community’ to address the multifaceted needs. Such support was integrated into regular coursework where active learning techniques, e.g. interactive small groups were incorporated. To assess impact of the courses we employ the feedback obtained during the courses and longitudinal statistical data about students' success.  相似文献   

Parents' involvement in adolescents' schooling: a multidimensional conceptualisation and mediational model     

Sukkyung You  Julie T. Nguyen 《教育心理学》2011,31(5):547-558

This study examined the impact of parental involvement on adolescents' academic achievement in Korean families. The major strengths of the current research are the study of multiple dimensions of parental involvement, the longitudinal design and the consideration of mediating variables. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the direct and indirect effects of parental involvement on students' academic achievement using data from a nationally representative sample of middle school students from the Korea Youth Panel Survey. Results indicated: (1) parental involvement dimensions positively influenced achievement through its effects on student self‐concept and locus of control; and (2) parents' increased participation in involvement practices (monitoring, educational expectation and affection) increases students' self‐concept and locus of control.  相似文献

短跑摆臂技术的概念之我见     

林金芳 《齐齐哈尔师范高等专科学校学报》2014,(2):33-34

正确的短跑摆臂技术有维持身体在运动中的平衡,增加两腿蹬摆力量,提高蹬摆速度,调高步长和步频的作用。在教学实践中,此技术完成得好的学生却很少。究其原因,概念不清楚是关键。在“两臂以肩为轴”的基础上,必须强调以胸锁关节为支点,臂应随同肩带一起运动。  相似文献   

Dynamic reciprocal relations of achievement goals with daily experiences of academic success and failure: An ambulatory assessment study     

《Learning and Instruction》2022

Achievement goals have been linked to achievement in various educational settings. The present work explored day-to-day variations in achievement goals (mastery, performance-approach, performance-avoidance) and their associations with daily experiences of academic success and failure. Ambulatory assessment data from 108 students in Grade 5 were collected, with daily assessments of achievement goals in the morning and end-of-day reports of academic success and failure. Dynamic structural equation models revealed reciprocal within-person effects between mastery goals and academic success. Academic success was further associated with higher mastery and performance-approach goals in the next morning. Academic failure was linked to both performance goals, though this association was not robust in all sensitivity analyses. Higher average daily academic success and lower average academic failure were linked to better academic achievement one year later. Findings suggest meaningful within-person dynamics among goals and daily academic success and failure.  相似文献
