Policy debate about whether to maintain public subsidies for higher education has stimulated reconsideration of the public mission of higher education institutions, especially those that provide student places conferring private benefits. If the work of higher education institutions is defined simply as the aggregation of private interests, this evaporates the rationale for higher education institutions as distinctive social foundations with multiple public and private roles. The private benefits could be produced elsewhere. If that is all there is to higher education institutions, they could follow the Tudor monasteries into oblivion. But what is ‘public’ in higher education institutions? What could be ‘public’? What should be ‘public’? The paper reviews the main notions of ‘public’ (public goods in economics, public understood as collective good and Habermas' public sphere) noting the contested and politicised environment in which notions of ‘public’ must find purchase. A turn to global public goods offers the most promising strategy for re‐grounding the ‘public’ character of higher education. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of to isometic contraction durations during propiceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching on gains inflexion at the hip. Forty-three women (M age = 20.0 years, SD = 1.3) were assigned to one of three groups: 5-s isometric contraction (5-IC), 10-IC, and control. Flexibility was assessed at baseline and Weeks 3 and 6. Analysis of covariance, controlling for pretest differences, showed a significant interaction, F(2, 33) = 44.1, p < .001. Flexibility was significant lower in the control group relative to the 5-IC and 10-IC groups and in the 5-IC group relative to the 10-IC group at 3 and 6 weeks (3 weeks = 101.2 +/- 1.4 degrees, 114.3 +/- 1.5 degrees, 120.5 +/- 1.3 degrees; 6 weeks = 103.0 +/- 1.4 degrees, 126.1 +/- 1.6 degrees, 133.3 +/- 1.4 degrees for control, 5-IC and 10-IC groups, respectively). A longer contraction time led to greater increases in flexibility. 相似文献

The length-tension relationship of muscle contraction is well documented in adults. However, research on this relationship in children has been limited. The aim of this study was to compare differences in the torque-joint angle relationship of the quadriceps muscle in children and adults. Eight boys aged 8-10 years and eight men aged 20-26 years performed two maximal voluntary isometric contractions at six knee joint angles (20 degrees, 40 degrees, 60 degrees, 80 degrees, 90 degrees, 100 degrees). The mean of the two trials was used as the performance measure. Both groups demonstrated an expected increase in relative torque as the joint angle increased (P< 0.05). The men produced significantly greater relative torque at 20 degrees, 40 degrees and 60 degrees knee flexion (P < 0.05). The percentage of maximal torque at these angles for the men and boys respectively were: 35.2+/-4.3 vs 15.2+/-12%, 63.6+/-9.1 vs 51.8+/-16.8% and 93.6+/-6.5 vs 84.4+/-14.4%. There were no group differences at 80 degrees or 90 degrees. Peak torque was attained at 80 degrees in men, but decreased significantly (P< 0.05) at 90 degrees and 100 degrees. For boys, peak torque was attained at joint angles of 80 degrees and 90 degrees. The reduction in peak torque at 100 degrees was not statistically significant, but the relative torque at this angle was lower in men than in boys (77.9+/-13.7 vs 87.1+/-10.4%; P< 0.05). In conclusion, the relationship between torque and joint angle appears to be affected by age. 相似文献

The article reviews the social-educational theorization of the early Soviet psychologist L. S. Vygotsky (1896–1934) in the light of the impact of communicative globalization in educational practice. Vygotsky proposed four “genetic domains” for investigating higher cognitive processes: the phylogenetic (humans undergoing natural evolution), the cultural-historical (social activity of humans), the ontogenetic (individual lifespan), and the microgenetic (immediate events). Vygotskian sociocultural theory is widely used in educational research, especially Vygotsky’s notion of mediated development via tools and signs. Since Vygotsky, communicative globalization has transformed educational potentials. Nevertheless, provided adjustments are made to Vygotsky’s genetic method to incorporate time-space compression, the mutual presence of the genetic domains, and the glonacal heuristic, Vygotskian theory continues to be useful in socially-situated investigations of educational development and transformation, and opens another way into the global, for example investigation of the role of global mediation in learning. 相似文献

The paper reviews Asia–Pacific higher education and university research, focusing principally on the “Confucian” education
nations Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong China, Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam. Except for Vietnam, these systems exhibit a special
developmental dynamism—still playing out everywhere except Japan—and have created a distinctive model of higher education
more effective in some respects than systems in North America, the English-speaking world and Europe where the modern university
was incubated. The Confucian Model rests on four interdependent elements: (1) strong nation-state shaping of structures, funding
and priorities; (2) a tendency to universal tertiary participation, partly financed by growing levels of household funding
of tuition, sustained by a private duty, grounded in Confucian values, to invest in education; (3) “one chance” national examinations
that mediate social competition and university hierarchy and focus family commitments to education; (4) accelerated public
investment in research and “world-class’ universities. The Model has downsides for social equity in participation, and in
the potential for state interference in executive autonomy and academic creativity. But together with economic growth amid
low tax regimes, the Confucian Model enables these systems to move forward rapidly and simultaneously in relation to each
and all of mass tertiary participation, university quality, and research quantity and quality. 相似文献

In the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education, California in the United States famously combined the principles of excellence and access within a steep three‐tiered system of Higher Education. It fashioned the world's strongest system of public research universities, while creating an open access system that brought college to millions of American families for the first time. Since 1960, the Master Plan has been admired and influential across the world. Yet the political and fiscal conditions supporting the Master Plan have now evaporated. California turns away hundreds of thousands of prospective students each year, and the University of California, facing spiralling deficits, finds it more difficult to maintain operating costs and compete with top private universities for leading researchers. The paper discusses the rise and partial fall of the Californian system as embodied in the Master Plan, and identifies general lessons for Higher Education systems. 相似文献

全球化背景下高等教育公私属性的思考 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
用萨缪尔森的产品概念来界定高等教育产品的公私属性,并以此来分析高等教育的全球性、浮现的世界市场和全球公共产品,那么以是否国有来界定高等教育产品的属性就行不通了.若从社会特性来区分产品的公私属性,那么全球的高等教育产品只能分为非排他性和非竞争性两类.由于公共产品往往在市场上生产不足,所以,充分认识高等教育私有产品在世界市场上的内在属性有现实意义. 相似文献

ENGAGING DEMOCRATIC EDUCATION IN THE NEOLIBERAL AGE 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Simon Marginson 《Educational theory》2006,56(2):205-219
A bstract . For the democratic tradition to return to a vanguard position in education requires a thorough exploration of the problems of democratization in education and an inventory of possible new forms. In this essay, Simon Marginson reviews five books concerned with democracy and education: Michael Apple's Educating the "Right" Way , Denis Carlson's Leaving Safe Harbors , A. Belden Fields and Walter Feinberg's Education and Democratic Theory , Trevor Gale and Kathleen Densmore's Engaging Teachers , and Klas Roth's Democracy, Education and Citizenship . While these authors imagine democracy in somewhat different ways, they have a common interest in the role of public schooling in the formation of democratic agents and practices. The books do not offer a definitive account of the problems of democratization, nor do they embody a major breakthrough in democratic educational thinking, but they all provide helpful explorations of these issues. Marginson concludes with some thoughts on commodification and neoliberal economism in education, a contemporary focus of discussion in democratic educational circles. 相似文献
