Universities and government‐sponsored contract research: an Australian case study     

《普罗米修斯》2012,30(4):439-455

Based on interviews, this article provides a case study of the experiences of academic staff at one Australian regional university in undertaking contract research projects sponsored by government departments and agencies. Academics from a surprisingly diverse range of disciplines are attracted to government‐sponsored research for a variety of reasons but particularly important is the financial support provided for research projects and postgraduate research students. Projects vary in scale, amounts of funding involved and purposes, with research activities covering a wide range of different activities including collection and analysis of data, provision of documentation on good practice, design of implementation strategies, evaluations, organisational reviews and policy recommendations. Overall, respondents are highly positive about their experiences, despite problems such as delays in payment of funds, inappropriately restricted timelines, frequent changes in senior agency personnel, unrealistic expectations, and restrictions in the use of data and publication of results. While many academics from different disciplines provide policy recommendations and carry out evaluative studies, few are well informed about the extent to which their work is actually utilised.  相似文献

长跑运动是田径运动中的一类项目,在各级各类的田径比赛中,长跑都是必备的项目.而对于大众健身,长跑运动又是最受欢迎和最有效的运动锻炼方式,健身的跑步机就是为长跑运动爱好者准备的.正是因为长跑运动有这样的群众基础,所以商家开始在长跑运动上动脑筋,努力开发其商业价值,近年来流行的城市马拉松比赛无疑是长跑运动商业化开发的成功案例.在城市道路上举行的各种类型的长跑比赛本身就是一种很好的宣传,加之大众的参与和城市知名度的扶持,使得诸如城市马拉松比赛等长跑运动的健康价值和商业价值越来越受到商家乃至政府的青睐.  相似文献   

Rediscovering the Role of Interscholastic Sports     

William J. Davis 《The Educational forum》2013,77(2):122-132

The goals of today's school athletic programs are vastly different from the original intentions of the administrators who established the first interscholastic athletic teams. For athletics to be anything more than a drain on school and taxpayer resources, these programs must undergo serious changes.  相似文献

This study is part of a first study of collaborative socio-environmental projects that engage Jewish and Arab students in Israel in learning about their local environment and about each other through outdoor learning and environmental action. We used ideas of social learning and environmental citizenship to frame our research. We investigated students' knowledge regarding their local environment and their knowledge of each other's community. We also studied the participants’ views regarding their project-partners'environmental knowledge, awareness and behaviour in comparison to their own. Initially, differences were found regarding various aspects of the students' socio-environmental knowledge and in students' views of their counterparts' environmentalism. At the end of the projects, students showed better understanding of local socio-environmental issues and demonstrated changes in their original views towards the environmental awareness and behaviour of their counterparts. These findings suggest that projects which involve students from segregated communities not only promote environmental awareness but contribute to a reduction in mutual prejudices. We suggest that the differences we found are not related to ethnicity, but rather to students' socioeconomic status and experience in environmental education programmes.  相似文献
