Higher education in Australia is little different from university sectors around the developed world. It has experienced declining levels of public funding, increasing dependence on competitively sourced domestic and international income and increased consumer-style pressures from a growing fee-paying student body. The establishment of the Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) in 2001 and the commencement of institutional quality audits in 2002 adds a new mechanism for public accountability. Five Australian universities of technology, members of the Australian Technology Network (ATN), are taking a collaborative approach to the development of institutional responses to the new quality agenda. A key theme of their collective response to this development is to focus on how the prospect of an external audit can provide a positive driver internally for improving institutional quality management. 相似文献

This paper notes some similarities between school choice policies in England and the US and considers how far any convergences can be explained, on the one hand, by broader social changes and, on the other, by evidence of policy exchange. In the first case, it discusses the usefulness of concepts such as post-Fordism and post-modernity and indicates their limitations. In the second case, it identifies relevant neoliberal policy networks within and between the two countries but finds more evidence of the use of overseas examples to legitimate policies at home than it does of direct policy borrowing. Reflecting upon both sets of explanations, it argues for a clearer conceptualisation of the relationship between accounts of the micro-politics of policy making and macro-level theories of change. 相似文献

Student perceptions of their IEP targets 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The 2001 Code of Practice for Special Educational Needs ( DfES, 2001 ) explicitly states that students with IEPs should have an active role in the writing and implementing of them. A research project was conducted in which 19 Year 8 students in three schools were interviewed, with the findings cross‐referenced against an examination of their individual education plans (IEPs) and interviews with the SENCos. Very few students were able to communicate a clear understanding of IEPs. Students' stated targets mostly reflected mainstream target‐setting: very few stated targets matched with those in their IEPs. Consistent with these findings is literature which argues that meaningfully involving students in the IEP process takes considerable time and effort, which would appear to imply that the number of students with IEPs in any one school must be limited. Against this are pressures, particularly from OFSTED but also from examination boards, to have IEPs available as evidence that students' needs are being met. The article concludes by suggesting that SENCos look to limit the number of IEPs issued, alongside a robust defence of the school's special educational needs policy within the school evaluation form to ensure that students' needs are met and also are seen to be met. 相似文献

GEOFF SOUTHWORTH 《School Leadership & Management》2013,33(1):73-87
This article examines what two school‐based qualitative research projects have highlighted about primary school leadership and development. After discussing findings from the Primary School Staff Relationships and Whole School Curriculum Development Projects, the author reflects upon these insights in terms of: the complexity of leadership; instrumental and expressive leadership; the pace of school development; headteacher motivation; vision, ownership and community. The author concludes that primary school leadership needs to be more carefully researched and rethought. 相似文献

Although Western European countries are behind Eastern European countries in regard to the numbers of women studying and working in technical fields, the past decade has seen the development of a wide range of special projects aimed at changing this situation. The paper reviews a wide range of intervention strategies which have been developed and introduced to deal with identified barriers to girls’ or women's involvement with technology in Western Europe. There has been increasing recognition of the need to try to increase the interaction of young girls with technology. At the same time older women are being seen as a fruitful source of potentially self-confident recruits to technical training. The issue of sexism in education and training institutions and in the work place is being faced, and more is being done to help women engineers and scientists cope with the dual roles of working technologists and family carers 相似文献

This article focuses on attempts to understand how the curriculum and pedagogy can help to reduce inequalities in the outcomes of schooling between those from higher and lower socio-economic backgrounds. In the 1970s, the author was involved with Michael F.D. Young and others in the development of the so-called 'new' sociology of education. Much of this work entailed laying bare the assumptions underlying the school curriculum and demonstrating how the selection of school knowledge was implicated in the reproduction of social inequalities. During the 1980s in England the curriculum was overtly politicised by the Thatcher government but the interests of sociologists of education moved increasingly away from the sociology of school knowledge to focus instead on the sociology of education policy. This paper identifies a recent tendency on the part of sociologists of education to return to the 'knowledge question'. In particular, it examines Young's own role in this and his attempts to revisit and revise of his earlier position. Contemporary developments in curricular policy in England and Northern Ireland are then outlined and discussed. Finally, the paper considers whether the work of Basil Bernstein, particularly his concepts of classification/framing and recognition/realisation rules, might help us to address one of the prevailing political problems of many modern education systems — the systematic failure of socially disadvantaged pupils to perform well at school. 相似文献
