The purpose of this article is to examine the validity of perceptions by academic staff about their past and present workload and working hours. Retrospective assessments are compared with time‐series data. The data are drawn from four mail surveys among academic staff in Norwegian universities undertaken in the period 1982–2008. The findings show that many academic staff retrospectively perceive that expectations of their work and task performance have increased and hence that they now work longer hours. In contrast, when time‐ series data are used to measure changes in time use (on an aggregate level) no empirical evidence is found in support of this claim; instead, a slight decline in the average number of weekly working hours can be observed. Two possible reasons for this disparity are discussed. First, that heavier workloads do not necessarily imply that academic staff work longer hours. Second, that younger generations of academic staff may report fewer work hours than previous counterparts. 相似文献

Researchers undertake a number of different research evaluation tasks, taking up a substantial part of their research time—estimated
to about one work month per year for a professor. This paper addresses the various evaluator roles and tasks researchers take
on, and the tensions they involve. How the research evaluator role may conflict with the researcher role and with societal
expectations is discussed, as well as the intrinsic tensions in peer review; including expertise vs. impartiality, evaluators
as neutral judges vs. exercise of power and influence, divergent peer assessments vs. the need for unanimous conclusions in
peer panels, peer review vs. increase in quantitative indicators, and accountability to society vs. peer review as preserving
the autonomy of science. The examination of these tensions provides insight in the political aspects of peer review, and a
basis for discussing an agenda for future studies on the role of peer evaluators. Major future challenges for peer review
concern how to meet demands for transparency and public accountability, and maintain academic autonomy. 相似文献

This article gives an overview and analysis of structural changes of higher education systems in Western Europe, and how the various countries have changed their systems over the last four decades. Emphasis is placed on the development of a non‐university higher education sector in most countries. The question to be discussed is the extent to which the various countries converge to a common structural model for the organization of higher education – either a binary system which is the most common model today, or a unified but hierarchical system as in the United Kingdom. 相似文献

In this paper we have set out to search for similarities and differences between the Nordic countries concerning patterns of competencies defined as scientific literacy in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study. The first part focuses on gender differences concerning the two types of competencies, understanding of scientific concepts versus skills in scientific reasoning, based on analyses of sum scores of groups of items. The second part focuses on differences and similarities between countries based on item‐by‐item analyses. Correlations between each Nordic country (as well as the Nordic group as a whole) and every other country have been used to look for a Nordic pattern. In the last part cluster analysis has been used to see how countries establish clusters and whether these clusters represent meaningful groups in a geographical, cultural or political context. 相似文献

Citizenship education has never been looked upon as a special subject in Norwegian schools, but as part of the more vague and general aspect of socialization. As a changing, but always present field within the school subject of history, patriotism plays an important and interesting part in the textbooks. In this article, more than 50 history textbooks are examined, covering the period from about 1814, when Norway broke loose from the union with Denmark, through a period of union with Sweden into national sovereignty after 1905. 相似文献

This 9-month randomised controlled workplace physical activity trial investigated the effects of soccer and Zumba exercise, respectively, on muscle strength, maximal jump height, sit-and-reach flexibility and postural sway among female workers. A total of 107 female hospital employees aged 25–63 were cluster-randomised to a soccer group, a Zumba group or a control group. Training was conducted outside working hours as two to three 1-h weekly sessions the first 3 months and once a week the last 6 months. Tests were conducted at baseline, after 3 and 9 months. The soccer group improved maximal neck extension strength both after 3 (1.2 kg; P < 0.05) and 9 months (1.7 kg; P < 0.01) compared to the control group. The Zumba group improved maximal trunk extension strength (3.1 kg; P = 0.04) after 3 months, with improvements in postural sway velocity moment (?9.2 mm2/s; P < 0.05) and lower limb lean mass (0.4 kg; P < 0.05) after 9 months. No significant intervention effects were revealed in vertical jump height or sit-and-reach flexibility. The present study indicates that workplace-initiated soccer and Zumba exercise may be beneficial for improvement of the neck and trunk strength, which may have preventive effects with regard to future perceived muscle pain in the respective body regions. Furthermore, the Zumba group revealed positive effects on lower limb lean mass and postural sway compared to the control group. 相似文献
