Bundled or unbundled? A multi-text corpus-assisted discourse analysis of the relationship between teaching and research in UK universities     

Adam Matthews  Ben Kotzee 《British Educational Research Journal》2022,48(3):578-597

Creating and disseminating knowledge through research and teaching has long been regarded as the hallmark of the modern university. However, new university business models have called into question the ‘bundling’ of teaching and research, and sustained research on the relationship between teaching and research has found little evidence of an insoluble connection between the two activities. In this article, we explore the relationship between teaching and research from the perspective of universities’ institutional discourse. We use corpus-assisted discourse analysis to examine the relationship between research and teaching as presented in two sets of institutional texts currently influential in UK Higher Education: Research Excellence Framework environment statements and Teaching Excellence Framework provider submissions (a total of 2143 documents and 12,492,071 words). Our findings show that, while universities emphasise the value of research to their teaching, they do not always emphasise (or sometimes even decry) the influence of teaching on their research. We empirically evidence that, according to what universities themselves write in institutional texts, teaching and research are not always in a mutually beneficial entanglement, but often rather a one-way relationship in which research expertise and institutional prestige are used to bolster claims of teaching excellence. This has implications for the communication of both the vision and the purpose of a university in regulatory exercises and wider policy, but also speaks to the broader idea and practice of being a university in the twenty-first century.  相似文献   

中国男子篮球一线队伍核心后卫群体比赛能力的研究   总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12  

张俊青 《广州体育学院学报》2003,23(1):70-72

中国男子蓝球核心后卫群体在综合比赛能力方面，整体与甲A一些队伍中引进的核心后卫群体相比较有较大差距。突出的表现在个人攻击能力和助攻能力方面的明显不足；而在国内核心后卫群体中，30岁以上老队员仍然是各队中的中坚，但比赛能力却每况愈下；中间年龄段上的后卫群体能力明显不足，使得国内核心后卫的培养出现断层现象；年轻的核心后卫群体缺乏足够的上场机会，得不到应有的锻炼，综合比赛能力提高缓慢。国内核心后卫群体比赛能力的严重不足，巳成为中国男子蓝球整体发展中的一个薄弱环节。  相似文献

不同位置女子足球运动员的最大摄氧量   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

王世椿  卫沛文 《体育与科学》2002,23(1):58-60

本研究测量33名17-26岁优秀女子足球员的最大摄氧量（VO2max）,中场球员（n=11）的VO2max（45.4±0.6mL/kg-1·min-1）有较高的趋势,与后卫（43.3±1.4mL·kg-1·min-1,n=7）和前锋（42.6±1.7mL·kg-1·min-1,n=8）之间无显著差异（P > 0.05）,但显著（P<0.05）优于守门员（39.1±0.8mL·kg-1·min-1,n-7）,中场球员扮演连接前锋与后卫的角色,比赛中跑的距离或时间常比其它位置的球员多,这与较高的心肺耐力有关。本研究资料显示,球场上的角色位置,似乎可反映出女足球员不同的有氧能力与比赛的生理需求。  相似文献   

Buddhist Wall Paintings at Nako Monastery,North India: Changing of the Technology Throughout Centuries     

Tatjana Bayerová 《文物保护研究》2018,63(3):171-188

The technical study of wall paintings from the Buddhist temple complex at Nako, Western Himalayas, was one of the basic preconditions required for designing an appropriate conservation strategy. The complex, composed of four temples from the eleventh–twelfth century, offered a unique possibility to carry out a comprehensive research of technology and painting materials used in early and later western Tibetan Buddhist wall paintings as well as a comparative assessment with murals from other sites in the Western Himalayas. The study was based on extensive fieldwork and an integrated analytical approach comprising a wide range of non-destructive and micro-destructive methods. Answering the question of the coevality of paintings in the smaller temples with other original murals, the precise characterisation of binding media, the detection of the yellow dye gamboge and natural minerals posnjakite and brochantite identified for the first time in Himalayan murals, the clarification of technology of metal decoration, and the making of raised elements are some of the most exciting results which emerged from the research.  相似文献   

Disciplined freedom,branded authenticity,and dependable independence: how tensions enact flexibility in lifestyle blogging careers     

Ziyu Long  Elizabeth D. Wilhoit 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2018,46(3):368-387

Analyzing 219 blog posts from 52 self-employed women lifestyle bloggers in North America, this study shows how these digital professionals navigate tensions and communicatively constitute work flexibility. In their narratives, women bloggers employed tension management approaches such as reframing, continual connections, and reflective practice in response to tensions in enacting temporal–spatial, identity, and financial flexibility. Specifically, women followed oxymoronic constructions – disciplined freedom, branded authenticity, and dependable independence – to embrace and transform competing poles of fluidity?structure, authenticity?marketability, and independence?interconnection. Expanding work–life research to the self-employed digital labor context, this study responds to recent calls to uncover more-than tension management strategies in empirical settings and contributes to a tension-centered, contextual, and processual analysis of workplace flexibility construction.  相似文献   

The Saljuq Turks’ Conversion to Islam: The Crusading Sources     

Nicholas Morton 《Al-Masaq: Islam & the Medieval Mediterranean》2015,27(2):109-118

This article contributes to the important debate over the conversion of the Turks to Islam. Previously, it was thought that the Turks abandoned their former steppe faith and customs very swiftly to become staunch Sunni Muslims, but this view has recently been challenged by a number of studies. The current consensus seems to be that the Turks’ adoption of Islam was a process of far longer duration, spanning many decades. This article broadens this discussion by demonstrating that the chronicles written by the First Crusaders contain much useful information that is pertinent to this question. It works through these texts, showing that they can shed new light on this point.  相似文献   

Thomas Tryon,Sheep and the Politics of Eden     

Geoffrey Plank 《Cultural and Social History》2017,14(5):565-581

The English writer Thomas Tryon (1634–1703) believed that sheep were survivors from the original earthly paradise, and that as morally perfect beings they could serve as role models for humans. Tryon advocated vegetarianism, pacifism and an end to slavery as it was practiced in the Caribbean. He was an ambitious and influential reformer on several fronts, but the restoration of Eden was his ultimate goal. Tryon celebrated sheep-like meekness, a stance that complicated his reform efforts. His agenda and sheep-inspired persuasive strategy reflect the momentous intellectual and moral ferment surrounding human relations with animals in the seventeenth century.  相似文献   

Heritage sporting events: theoretical development and configurations     

Joël Pinson 《Journal of Sport Tourism》2017,21(2):133-152

ABSTRACT

Although sports heritage is increasingly recognized as a potential catalyst of tourism, heritage sporting events (HSEs) are still an emerging concept in the academic literature. Notions that associate sports events and heritage remain rare, and are usually analysed through the scope of nostalgia sport tourism. This can be partly explained by an inclination to associate the notion of heritage with conventional ideas about folklore and traditional culture. Through a constructivist approach of heritage, this contribution argues that contemporary sports events, which would generally have competition as their primary focus, might also be perceived as HSEs. A comprehensive framework, built on a multi-disciplinary literature review, is presented to show the process that transforms an initial resource (a sports event) into an accomplished resource (a HSE), which might represent a competitive advantage for the territory. A qualitative–comparative analysis is conducted among 24 sports events in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, to observe the configurations of HSEs and understand which characteristics are necessary for the perceptions of a sports event as a heritage good. Interestingly, this contribution shows that if the event needs to be sustainable in the territory to be perceived as a HSE, it is not sufficient. Indeed, a differentiation strategy should be set up to distinguish the event from other more or less similar events, to be perceived as an authentic feature of the territory by the local population.  相似文献   

Effects of pairs of problems and examples on task performance and different types of cognitive load     

《Learning and Instruction》2014

In two studies, we investigated whether a recently developed psychometric instrument can differentiate intrinsic, extraneous, and germane cognitive load. Study I revealed a similar three-factor solution for language learning (n = 108) and a statistics lecture (n = 174), and statistics exam scores correlated negatively with the factors assumed to represent intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load during the lecture. In Study II, university freshmen who studied applications of Bayes' theorem in example–example (n = 18) or example–problem (n = 18) condition demonstrated better posttest performance than their peers who studied the applications in problem–example (n = 18) or problem–problem (n = 20) condition, and a slightly modified version of the aforementioned psychometric instrument could help researchers to differentiate intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load. The findings provide support for a recent reconceptualization of germane cognitive load as referring to the actual working memory resources devoted to dealing with intrinsic cognitive load.  相似文献
