Data Visualization as Participatory Research: A Model for Digital Collections to Inspire User-Driven Research     

A. Miller 《Journal of Web Librarianship》2019,13(2):127-155

The emerging creative practices of digital collections are increasing in prominence thanks to the access to, and appeal of, data visualizations. Interactive data visualizations, such as a map, timeline, chart, graph, or artist’s rendering of data, enable users to pursue their own research interests within a collection and participate in new areas of research. Use of these data visualizations enhances the scope of the collection and enables a modern and diverse thematic collection to emerge. This article considers the question: Does the addition of data visualizations affect how users participate with a research collection? Impacts on collection development, application of user-centered design, and analysis of users’ exploratory strategies are discussed. Examples of data visualizations used in digital humanities projects and digital collections are presented as case studies.  相似文献   

体育院校专项课程评分采用标准正态变量评分方法的探讨     

蔡莉 《体育科学研究》2004,8(2):88-90

目前体育院校专项课程普遍采用选修制,由于学生选修项目和任教老师评分标准存在差异,不同专项的学生专项评分缺乏统一的标准和尺度,专项课程评分的科学性和公正性得不到保证,影响到奖学金评定工作和专项课程的教学质量。专项课程评分应采用标准正态变量评分方法,不断促使体育专业学生专项评定工作的科学化、定量化。  相似文献

王玉衡 《外国教育研究》2005,32(12):24-29

自从美国卡内基促进教学基金会前主席厄内斯特·博耶(Ernest L.Boyer)在1990年出版题为《学术的反思——教授的工作重点》的报告后,美国开始了长达10多年的对大学教学学术的大讨论,并形成了以卡内基促进教学基金会、美国高等教育协会及印第安那大学布卢明顿校区为主导的大学学术运动,其影响现已不仅限于美国,而且波及到了英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、俄罗斯等国,成为引人注目的当代国际高等教育的一种重要运动。文章首次从大学教学学术运动产生的背景、大学教学学术运动的主要观点、意义及产生的影响等几方面,对这一运动进行阐述和分析。  相似文献   

The scholarship of teaching: A comparison of conceptions held by experts and regular academic staff     

Carolin Kreber 《Higher Education》2003,46(1):93-121

Over the past decade the scholarship ofteaching has received considerable attention inthe higher education literature as a reactionto the widely cited Carnegie Foundation'sreport ``Scholarship Reconsidered'; however, theconcept has remained devoid of a unifieddefinition. A recent Delphi study conductedwith a selective group of scholars whoseexpertise lies in the area of universityteaching and learning indicated the extent towhich these ``experts' agreed with each other onimportant features and unresolved issues theyassociate with the scholarship of teaching. Building on the results of the Delphi study,the present article discusses the results of asecond survey comparing these ``experts' 'conceptions with those of a larger group ofscholars whose expertise lies in a differentacademic field (``regular academic staff'), inorder to identify the similarities anddifferences in the conceptions of thescholarship of teaching held by each of the twogroups. While regular academic staff werefound to associate the scholarship of teachingmore with good or effectiveteaching ``experts' pointed to notions such aspeer review and scholarly standards. Thediscussion of the results focuses on the notionof consensus reached within and betweenthe two groups. It is argued that in order topromote changes in policy with respect to whatis to count as scholarship, identifying andreporting ``experts' ' conceptions, thoughclearly necessary for promoting moreenlightened discussions on the issue, willremain insufficient. Policy change in academeis more likely to ensue as a result of thewider academic community reaching consensus onthe meaning, and nature, of the scholarship ofteaching. The wider academic community includes``experts', as well as colleagues in departmentsand disciplinary associations. The articleconcludes by exploring the notion of consensusthrough the lens of critical social theory.  相似文献   

我国研究生资助体制演进的研究     

李秀兵  程洁  武欣 《教育与现代化》2011,(5):25-30

介绍新中国成立以来我国研究生资助体制的演进过程,指出新中国六十年中,我国的研究生资助方式和资助力度均发生了很大的变化,从单一的助学金模式发展为“奖、助、贷、补”多元化叠加模式;从完全免费教育,到部分免费教育,资助力度呈现下降态势。研究生学习阶段的机会成本增大,研究生贫困化现象日渐严重,这将不利于“建设人才资源强国”战略目标的实现。  相似文献   

Development and Implementation of the Inaugural Anatomy Education Research Institute (AERI 2017)     

Valerie Dean O’Loughlin  Polly R. Husmann  James J. Brokaw 《Anatomical sciences education》2019,12(2):181-190

Education research is increasingly being recognized as a legitimate route for faculty development in universities. However, many anatomy faculty lack the appropriate training and access to experienced mentors who can help them develop their own education research projects. Inspired by the American Physiological Society’s Institute for Teaching and Learning, the coauthors proposed and developed the inaugural Anatomy Education Research Institute (AERI 2017). Funded by an American Association of Anatomists Innovations grant, the five-day institute was held in Bloomington, Indiana in July 2017. The coauthors spent two years preparing the conference schedule, inviting speakers who could discuss education research topics and mentor applicants, reviewing applications, developing assessment instruments for the institute, and hosting the institute. A total of 62 registered participants (applicants and invited speakers) attended AERI 2017. Through a series of presentations and workshops, participants were introduced to many aspects of education research and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, including developing rigorous education research questions, determining appropriate methods to assess these questions, and searching the education research literature. Each day also included regular time devoted to work on their own education research project with help from more experienced mentors. Throughout the conference, participants were encouraged to post information on Twitter, using the hashtag #AERI2017. Participants had strong positive impressions of the conference and strongly requested future AERI conferences be held. Follow-up analyses will assess the institute in alignment with Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation Model, though preliminary evaluation indicates AERI 2017 met the original aims of the proposal.  相似文献   

Supporting students' preparation for the viva: their pre-conceptions and implications for practice     

Martyn Clark 《Teaching in Higher Education》2013,18(1):71-87

In universities theories and concepts are created and used within a disciplinary context, and some understanding of this context is necessary if students fully are to make sense of their studies. Thus, we investigate computer scientists' perspectives on their discipline. Biglan characterises Computer Science as being hard, rather than soft and as being applied, rather than pure. Therefore, Computer Science is associated with the engineering disciplines. Although many computer scientists support this view, others see the discipline as being identified more properly with Mathematics and/or the sciences. We suggest some reasons for the difference of opinion and highlight the implications for what students might learn about the disciplinary context.  相似文献   

顾颉刚疑古学浅论     

路新生 《华东师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2002,34(1):107-115

顾颉刚先生是我国现代“疑古”运动的代表性人物,顾先生的治学方法论有“中”,“西”嫁接的特点,他所选择的中、西两端的代表,一为胡适,一为崔述,顾先生“层累说”受到了崔述较深的影响,其治学方法也和崔述一样,一方面能够将史事的“原始状”与“传衍状”相分离,另一方面,亦由于过分强调史料的“当下性”而忽视了史料的“滞后性”,致使顾先生在疑古的具体操作中不免出现了某些误区。  相似文献

回归教学学术：技术时代的教学正义     

高小强 《当代教育与文化》2015,(4)

教学技术经历了从生活的技艺到知识传播的工具再到交换价值凸显的商品的演进历程;教师从思想的探险者演变为知识的阐释者最后沦为教学技术的消费者;教师的文化品性相应地呈现为创造性行动、重复性劳动和冒险性工作三种形态。教师技术化所导致的哲学思维的弱化、伦理意识的浇薄和艺术追求的消失是教师教学学术趋于式微的根源。教师的教学正义意味着教学技术的合法性愈加强大时,教学学术的合理性就更应该得到张扬。  相似文献
