Government research evaluations and academic freedom: a UK and Australian comparison     

Ann Martin-Sardesai  Helen Irvine  Stuart Tooley  James Guthrie 《高等教育研究与发展》2017,36(2):372-385

Performance management systems have been an inevitable consequence of the development of government research evaluations (GREs) of university research, and have also inevitably affected the working life of academics. The aim of this paper is to track the development of GREs over the past 25 years, by critically evaluating their adoption in the UK and Australian higher education sector and their contribution to the commodification of academic labour, and to highlight the resultant tensions between GREs and academic freedom. The paper employs a literature-based analysis, relying on publicly available policy documents and academic studies over the period 1985–2010. GREs are a global phenomenon emanating from new public management reforms and while assessments of university research have been welcomed, they have attracted critique based on their design, the manner in which they have been applied, and the unintended consequences of their implementation on academic freedom in particular. Consistent with international research on the impact of GREs, Australian research assessments appear to be undoing the academic freedom that is central to successful research. Further empirical research on the impact of GREs on academics is urgently needed.  相似文献   

Freirean critical pedagogy’s challenge to interfaith education: what is interfaith? What is education?     

Cathy Byrne 《British Journal of Religious Education》2011,33(1):47-60

Interfaith education has been boosted recently by the imprimatur of current and previous political world leaders. However, a critical analysis of what makes good interfaith education is yet to emerge. Indeed the attention may distract from the effort needed to ensure positive outcomes. This paper questions whether the uncritical nature of some interfaith education initiatives encourages the continuation of cultural and theological bias. Critical social theorist Paulo Freire viewed education as an opportunity for social evolution. His pedagogy of freedom relied on the idea that no knowledge is out of bounds and that such freedom nurtured the security to greet difference with humility. This paper examines some Australian approaches to interfaith education in light of Freire’s challenge. It questions the persistence of an Abrahamic skew and calls for a more critical approach to differences of belief.  相似文献

邸雅静 《图书馆建设》2011,(11):34-38

馆藏纲要是进行馆藏分析、馆藏描述的工具。利用馆藏纲要开展合作馆藏评估工作应首先建立馆藏纲要评估数据库;其次,进行馆藏强度总体评估,包含现有馆藏强度评估、采访任务强度评估、收藏目标强度评估;再次,比较相同主题下不同图书馆馆藏强度及同一图书馆不同主题的馆藏强度。我国图书馆界应重视馆藏纲要在评估工作中的应用,并结合馆藏政策,对重点学科文献进行突破性尝试,同时选用高素质的评估人员。  相似文献   

Information-sharing in public organizations: A literature review of interpersonal, intra-organizational and inter-organizational success factors   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Tung-Mou YangAuthor Vitae  Terrence A. Maxwell^{Author Vitae} 《Government Information Quarterly》2011,28(2):164-175

Information sharing is considered an important approach to increasing organizational efficiency and performance. With advances in information and communication technology, sharing information across organizations has become more feasible. In the public sector, government agencies are also aware of the importance of information sharing for addressing policy issues such as anti-terrorism and public health. However, information sharing can be a complex task. Identifying factors that influence information sharing is critical. In the literature, research in information sharing focuses on the interpersonal, intra-organizational, and inter-organizational levels. This paper reviews the current information-sharing research, discusses the factors affecting information sharing at the three levels, and provides summative frameworks. These frameworks provide a means to discover future research opportunities, and a systematic way for practitioners to identify key factors involved in successful information sharing.  相似文献   

Industry Norms as Predictors of IT Outsourcing Behaviors     

《International Journal of Information Management》2021

How do firm-specific factors impact strategic IT decisions such as IT outsourcing? Do non-financial factors influence these decisions? Whereas prior IT outsourcing research has focused primarily on normative, economic drivers of IT outsourcing, we find evidence of firm-specific non-financial factors influencing IT outsourcing decisions. We focus on the social influence perspective and use IT outsourcing decisions as exemplars of strategic IT decisions. Using a data sample of 77 outsourcing contracts from the automotive industry from 1995 to 2010, we find that even after controlling for financial factors, industry average levels of outsourcing can be used to distinguish strategic outsourcing behaviors of firms for IT enabled services. Firms with above-average levels of IT outsourcing tended to further increase outsourcing, a behavior consistent with perceived Red Queen competitive pressures. Firms with below-average levels of IT outsourcing showed no measurable trends of either increasing or decreasing outsourcing levels. This suggests that firm-specific factors influence IT outsourcing decisions and deviations from non-financial industry norms can indicate how firms make strategic IT decisions.  相似文献
