Subjective well-being in cultural advocacy: a politics of research between the market and the academy     

Susan Oman  Mark Taylor 《Journal of Cultural Economy》2018,11(3):225-243

This paper responds to a trend of contracting out subjective well-being econometrics to demonstrate social return on investment (SROI) for evidence-based policy-making. We discuss an evolving ecology of ‘external’ research taking place ‘between’ the academy and commercial consultancy. We then contextualise this as waves of research methodologies and consultancy for the cultural sector. The new model of ‘external between’ consultancy research for policy is not only placed between the University and the market, but also facilitates discourse between policy sectors, government, the media and the academy. Specifically, it enables seductive but selective arguments for advocacy that claim authority through academic affiliation, yet are not evaluated for robustness. To critically engage with an emergent form of what Stone calls ‘causal stories’, we replicate a publicly funded externally commissioned SROI model that argues for the value of cultural activities to well-being. We find that the author’s operationalisation of participation and well-being are crucial, yet their representation of the relationship problematic, and their estimates questionable. This case study ‘re-performs’ econometric modelling national-level survey data for the cultural sector to reveal practices that create norms of expertise for policy-making that are not rigorous. We conclude that fluid claims to authority allow experimental econometric models and measures to perform across the cultural economy as if ratified. This new model of advocacy research requires closer academic consideration given the changing research funding structures and recent attention to expertise and the contracting out of public services.  相似文献

教师工作满意度的调查研究     

吕国光 《黄冈师范学院学报》2008,28(2):114-118

运用修订的“教师工作满意度问卷”（Teacher’s Job Satisfaction Inventory）对600多名中小学教师在教学满意、环境满意、升迁满意、收入满意、管理满意等5个方面的情况进行调查。研究结果发现：被调查教师对工作是基本满意的;总平均分之间不存在性别差异,但存在极其显著的城乡差异,农村教师较城市教师对教学工作更为满意;学校类型和任教学科对教师工作满意度总体上没有影响。  相似文献   

Seeing the Forest and the Trees: Comparison of Two IRTree Models to Investigate the Impact of Full Versus Endpoint-Only Response Option Labeling     

Elisabeth M. Spratto  Brian C. Leventhal  Deborah L. Bandalos 《Educational and psychological measurement》2021,81(1):39

In this study, we examined the results and interpretations produced from two different IRTree models—one using paths consisting of only dichotomous decisions, and one using paths consisting of both dichotomous and polytomous decisions. We used data from two versions of an impulsivity measure. In the first version, all the response options had labels; in the second version, only the endpoints were labeled. Based on past research, we hypothesized that the endpoints would be selected more frequently in the endpoint-only labeled condition, and the midpoint response option would be selected more frequently in the fully labeled condition. Results from the two models (dichotomous and polytomous) were similar and indicated that our hypotheses were partially supported—specifically, there was no consistent pattern in terms of which condition saw a higher frequency of midpoint response selection. However, our hypotheses regarding extreme responding in the endpoint-only labeling condition were supported.  相似文献   

地质超前预报系统在栋梁坡隧道施工中的应用     

刘倩  檀朝彬  韩星  吕会喜  展先彪 《实验室研究与探索》2021,(2):43-48

基于地震反射波法超前预测系统的原理及主要技术手段,以栋梁坡隧道工程为实例,针对隧道复杂的地质条件,施工过程中将超前地质预报和地质素描调查相结合,先对隧道全段范围内地形、地层岩性等进行全面核查,然后结合核查结果运用地震反射波法预报掌子面前方的节理裂隙发育情况,围岩完整性等地质信息。开挖后验证情况与预测结果基本一致,为后续预防突水塌方等隧道地质灾害事故的发生提供数据支撑,有效保证栋梁坡隧道的施工安全。  相似文献   

“双一流”建设背景下高等教育高质量发展指标研究     

张丽 《天津市教科院学报》2021,(2):43-49

创新驱动高质量发展是高等教育发展的未来,也是“双一流”建设质量发展指标研究的关键。在筛选和找出“双一流”建设质量的关键绩效指标(KPI)的基础上,提出了三个步骤的技术路线:一是分析影响因素,且按其重要性进行排列;二是按重要程度不同而精选出关键影响要素和绩效指标;三是更加重视整体研究和相关性研究,促进“以评促建”功能的实现。最后,对其中几个关键绩效指标(KPI)进行较为详细的诠释,包括高等教育毛入学率、生师比、学术声誉调查等。  相似文献
