Research capacity and dissemination among academics in Tanzania: examining knowledge production and the perceived binary of ‘local’ and ‘international’ journals     

Matthew A. M. Thomas 《Compare》2018,48(2):281-298

This article explores two distinct strategies suggested by academics in Tanzania for publishing and disseminating their research amidst immense higher education expansion. It draws on Arjun Appadurai’s notions of ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ internationalisation to analyse the perceived binary between ‘international’ and ‘local’ academic journals and their concomitant differences in status. In an attempt to examine critically how the status quo regarding knowledge production in higher education is maintained and reproduced, the article explores interactions between a Tanzanian academic and an educational researcher from the global North, including the ways in which research collaborations between academics from different contexts and material conditions in their institutions may both advance and inhibit professional development of academics and comparative education research, writ large. The article concludes with a call for comparative education researchers to carefully consider the future of educational research in sub-Saharan Africa and the complexities of continued involvement in knowledge production processes.  相似文献   

我国科研人员职业生涯成长轨迹与影响因素研究          下载免费PDF全文

周建中  闫昊  孙粒 《科研管理》2019,40(10):126-141

本文对我国科研人员职业生涯的成长轨迹与影响因素开展定量研究,以科研人员获得博士学位的时间为基点,采用事件史分析方法分析科研人员职业生涯中的若干重要节点和事件,包括职称晋升、第一次重要学术产出、第一次获得荣誉奖励以及第一次担任行政或学术职务等关键事件。在此基础上,进一步分析个人家庭因素（性别、孩子状况和配偶文化）、教育背景因素（毕业院校、导师身份和博士后经历）以及社会环境因素（工作单位、流动状况和学科领域）等对科研人员职业生涯成长的影响状况。结果发现,科研人员职业生涯成长过程中的“累积效应”依然明显,如毕业院校、博士后经历等教育背景都会对科研人员职业生涯的成长产生正向影响;师承效应在科研人员职业生涯发展中发挥重要作用;流动经历增加了科研人员进入到职业生涯中的关键事件比例等。基于研究结果,文章最后提出如何更好的促进科研人员成长的政策建议。  相似文献   

Design,implementation and evaluation of school-based sexual health education in sub-Saharan Africa: a qualitative study of researchers’ perspectives     

A. Sadiq Sani  Charles Abraham  Sarah Denford  Catherine Mathews 《Sex education》2018,18(2):172-190

This study investigated facilitators and challenges to designing, implementing and evaluating school-based sexual health education in sub-Saharan Africa, using interviews with intervention designers and researchers. At the pre-planning and planning stages, participants reported that facilitating factors included addressing the reproductive health needs of participants, contextual (culture, religion, economic and social) considerations and the adoption of holistic approach to sexuality education. Lack of open communication about sexual health matters between young people and adults; concerns that sexual health education could encourage sexual activity; and inadequate funding, were key barriers. Implementation was facilitated by the involvement of relevant stakeholders, the training of facilitators and adopting strategies to overcome resistance to sexual health education. The provision of structured, detailed lessons plans and monitoring with supportive supervision optimised fidelity of delivery. Barriers to implementation included facilitators’ resistance to teaching safe sex promotion and logistical challenges in school environments. Participants also reported that the validity of self-reported adolescent sexual behaviour (as part of evaluation) may be improved by complementing well-designed self-report surveys with computerised audio devices for data collection, qualitative interviews and participant observation. Study findings generate recommendations to improve future forms of school-based sexual health education in sub-Saharan Africa.  相似文献   

Predicting the Q of junior researchers using data from the first years of publication     

Antônio de Abreu Batista-Jr  Fábio Castro Gouveia  Jesús P. Mena-Chalco 《Journal of Informetrics》2021,15(2):101130

A researcher's Q denotes their ability in scientific research as a real number. Due to their short presence in the academic environment, junior researchers have unstable Q values. This article aims to present a model that uses data from junior researchers’ first years of publication to predict their stable Q values. We tested the deep model and the linear regression model and compared their accuracies. We have obtained reliable results showing that the predicted values estimated with both models are better than the estimated Q values computed with the Q model itself when using only data from the first five years of publication. Lastly, we note that both approaches are robust approaches to deal with the inflation of citation bias.  相似文献

国际研究者联系信息的批量采集和电子函件群发方法     

张明明 《编辑学报》2016,28(3):256-259

研究者是科技期刊的作者、审稿人、编委和主要读者.为了高效联系全球海量研究者,提出了3种利用期刊数字出版资源结合计算机工具软件快速搜集国际研究者姓名、邮箱和机构等联系信息的方法,即PubMed文献XML文件提取、商品化网站采集工具和定制Java采集程序.比较了常用的函件群发方法.实践证明,3种采集方法实用、高效、易操作,极大地节约了劳动力.函件群发平台是目前比较好的函件群发方法,可用于期刊电子函件营销;因此,通过计算机工具软件批量提取研究者联系信息并通过函件群发平台发送函件,极大地提高了与国际研究者沟通的效率.  相似文献

江钐 《宁德师专学报(自然科学版)》2006,18(3):322-324

教师是反思的实践者,教师的成长=经验 反思．“问题”是反思的起点和动力,经沟通、改进并调整反思,可提高教师的监控能力．教师应在反思随笔、师生交流、教学评价、行动研究等方面的实践中发展自我．  相似文献   

让儿童成为研究者   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

于忠海 《学前教育研究》2008,(10)

研究不仅是一种学习方式,而且是人之为人的一种生命本质属性,是人之生命由适应到超越的不屈前行的源泉、机制和旅程。传统教育误解了儿童作为研究者的价值与内涵,使儿童成为研究的仆人而非主体。让儿童成为研究者意味着教育应是人的教育、自主的教育与社会化的教育。与此同时,教师应成为研究者、学习者和对话者,才能应对这一儿童观与教育观转变带来的挑战。  相似文献   

学术论文流向与科研评价     

杨兆弘 《中华医学图书馆杂志》2014,(3):62-65

目前,我国学术论文出现明显向SCI等数据库收录期刊及核心期刊的现象。本文探究了这种流向的原因,指出发表论文的客观要求、科研人员的自利性因素、科研评价的导向与推动、科研人员的投稿偏好性等是影响学术论文发表的重要因素,并提出有效完善科研评价制度、客观分析科研人员自利性因素,制定学术道德的相应规范、提高期刊质量和完善学术出版规范是吸引高质量论文的措施。  相似文献
