Influence of improved teaching practices on student satisfaction ratings for two undergraduate units at an Australian university     

Barbara Stewart  Peter Speldewinde  Benjamin Ford 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2018,43(4):598-611

To track the quality of instruction delivered at the University of Western Australia, the university surveys all units using its Students’ Unit Reflective Feedback (SURF) metrics, and faculties use these metrics to benchmark student satisfaction. Consequently, teaching staff are actively encouraged to adopt teaching practices that will increase the average levels of these metrics. Using a ‘before-after’ approach, we compared these metrics before and after the implementation of improved teaching practices that addressed specific weaknesses identified through student responses for two undergraduate units. Despite the implementation of improved teaching practices, SURF scores did not increase significantly for the two units assessed, due possibly to the components of the academic programme covered by the SURF questions, the field-based nature of the units, and the difficulty in measuring an increase in the SURF scores of units which already score highly. This poor sensitivity of the SURF metrics to the implementation of improved teaching practices could have implications for their use for performance assessment by the university.  相似文献

教育、工作自主性与工作满意度   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

范皑皑  丁小浩 《清华大学教育研究》2007,28(6):40-47

教育不但是个人人力资本积累的途径,也会形成个人职业的趋向和偏好。个人在工作中所获得的自主性是评价工作满意度的重要方面,获得更多的工作自主性意味着获得更多的组织信任,能够更自由地安排工作,拥有更多自主学习的机会。由于不同学历层次的人对工作要求不同,所以是否在工作中获得自主性将会对他们的工作满意度和工作绩效产生不同的影响。本文运用北京大学教育经济研究所《中国城镇居民教育与就业情况调查-2004》的数据,通过对正在工作人群的研究发现,在同等受教育程度下,更多的工作自主性带来更大的工作满意度。不同受教育程度的群体,受过高等教育者更看重工作自主性。对他们而言,自主性工作环境带来的效用要高于高工资带来的效用。本研究探讨高等教育在促进人的独立性、学习意识上的长期效应,为认识教育对个人职业发展的影响提供了新的视角。同时在建设创新型国家的大背景下,本研究的结论为如何激励知识型人才,更好的发挥创新性人才的创造力,提高组织绩效提供了有益的参考。  相似文献

Skill mismatch and work–life conflict: the mediating role of job satisfaction     

Andrey Shevchuk  Denis Strebkov 《Journal of Education & Work》2019,32(2):181-195

Previous research examining skill mismatch in the labour market has ignored potential implications for workers outside of the work environment. We argue that the psychological strain that the discrepancy between worker’s skills and job requirements wields on workers spills over into the non-work sphere, increasing work–life conflict. This study explores the consequence of skill mismatch for work–family life and various dimensions of job satisfaction. Using the 2011 British Workplace Employment Relations Survey (WERS), we find that both over- and underskilled workers reported lower satisfaction with achievement and autonomy, opportunity for development, and pay and security. Results also suggest that not only does skill mismatch have a negative influence on work–life conflict but that this association is completely mediated through job satisfaction. Given this better understanding of the complex ways that skill mismatch in employment shapes non-work life, implications for employees and firms are discussed.  相似文献

Mothers’ and Fathers’ Roles in Caring for an Adult Child with an Intellectual Disability     

Michelle Rowbotham  Monica Cuskelly 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》2011,58(3):223-240

To date, there have been few studies of mothers’ and fathers’ roles in caring for their adult children with intellectual disabilities. The present study investigated the care-giving roles of mother and father couples caring for their adult offspring with an intellectual disability, their psychological health, and the demands and satisfaction of their care-giving roles. Twelve Anglo-Australian middle-aged mother and father couples with an adult child with intellectual disability (mean age?=?24 years) participated in semi-structured interviews about their care-giving roles and completed a series of questionnaires pertaining to care-giving difficulties and satisfaction, hassles and uplifts, and general health. Findings indicated that an extremely high proportion of both mothers and fathers were in the clinical range for social dysfunction, anxiety/insomnia, and somatic complaints, although levels of depression were relatively low. The present study found that mothers undertake more daily care-giving tasks than fathers, but that the range of tasks is similar. Mothers also reported significantly more care-giving difficulties and satisfaction than fathers. Associations between measures differed somewhat for the two parent groups, indicating the need for further exploration of both mothers’ and fathers’ experiences.  相似文献
