Self-Renewal and Inter-Organizational Transition Among Women Principals

The study outlines several elements of the self-renewal process among women principals who made inter-organizational transition in mid-career. Based on findings from an exploratory study, conducted among Israeli women school principals in mid-career, the study presents the process of self-renewal that was experienced by these managers in their mid-career. This process included coping with a lack of self-fulfillment, setting new goals, reframing of their managerial perspectives, energy replenishing, reinforcing of their innovative behavior and looking for new sources of challenge. An emphasis is given to the contextual and biographic determinants promoting and enabling the existence of the process of renewal among mid-career changers.     

国外专业博士学位的历史发展及启示

现代专业博士学位产生于20世纪初期,虽然只有短暂的发展历史,但形成了不同于研究型博士学位的鲜明特征,其实践性强、学制灵活等优势满足了社会发展的需要,从而获得了迅速发展.国外专业性博士学位发展的某些经验值得我们认真思考和借鉴.     

英国专业博士学位教育发展的特征及启示

与传统哲学博士相比,专业博士是一种特殊类型的学位制度。专业博士学位教育自1992年在英国出现,十多年来发展迅速,涉及为数众多的大学和学科,但其在各院校和各学科间的分布不均衡。在专业设置、培养过程和研究工作等方面,英国专业博士学位教育初步形成了自身的特色。英国专业博士学位教育的发展是现代大学理念触动、政府公共政策引导、市场需求诱致和学习借鉴共同作用的结果。英国的经验值得我们高度重视,政府、大学和社会都应为专业博士学位教育在我国的发展创造条件。

谈美术教研员在教师成长中的作用

以往我们对教师的成长和师资队伍的建设,总是着眼于教师自身的素质及各种业务水平的提高,而对教师成长中的其他因素,比如教师进修制度、进修内容和活动方式,以及地区教研员的作用却很少谈及。随着教育改革的深入,新课程的实施,教师成长的内涵在不断扩大,在当代教育语境下,教研员应起到什么作用?本文对此作一些探讨。     

Researcher development through doctoral training in research integrity

ABSTRACT

The article explores research integrity training for PhD-students as a site of production of academic cultures and researcher development. Based on ethnographies of four courses in research integrity, conducted in four faculties of a large comprehensive Danish university, the article explores the vital role of academic developers, teachers, and course participants in the active translation of institutional, national, and international policies into research practices. We argue that doctoral training in research integrity does not entail the direct implementation of policy and codes from above; rather, it is a site for the development and negotiation of the meaning of research integrity in disciplinary cultures and standards, and, critically, for the responsibilisation of individual researchers in policy enactment. We show how doctoral training has become a key site for the emergence of research integrity as a field. It is also a privileged site for researching contested and multidirectional processes of policy formation and implementation.     

建设我国研究型教师队伍的若干思考

“科研兴国”、“科研兴教”、教学与科研并重,是我国和世界各国教育事业发展的基本策略,我国教师整体科研能力偏弱,严重制约了教育质量的提高和高质量教育的发展。建设研究型教师队伍在实施“科教兴国”战略推行素质教育,培养创造型人才方面具有基础性的作用,研究型教师是实施创新教育的骨干力量,培养研究型教师是我国教师队伍建设的重点之一。我国应当采取切实的措施,坚持教学与科研并举,下大力气提高大中小学教师的科研能力,建设好数量充足的高素质科研型师资队伍,为实施创新教育,培养创造型人才,促进教育事业健康发展,为真正实现“三个面向”奠定师资基础。

Students’ perception of EdD and PhD programmes in Hong Kong

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the learning experiences of students enrolled on a Doctorate in Education programme in Hong Kong. The main questions are as follows. How do EdD students position themselves as doctoral candidates? How do EdD students experience their education in terms of scholarly expertise and scholarly identity? How do EdD students characterise their relationships with their supervisors? What perceptions do PhD students hold of the field of knowledge of EdD students and the value of an EdD degree? The data obtained from 10 semi-structured interviews in one selected institution are discussed with reference to the four main themes; distinction between EdD and PhD degrees: ‘co-existent’ vs. ‘separate’; positioning of EdD programme: title of doctor as ‘unfair’ vs. ‘deserved’; scholarly value: ‘insightful’ vs. ‘non-academic’; and relationship with supervisor: ‘independent and self-managed’ vs. ‘never equal, unlike the relationship between PhD student and supervisor’.

The Professional Status of Educational Research: Professionalism and Developmentalism in Twenty-First-Century Working Life

‘How helpful and how necessary is it for at least some of us to see ourselves as professional educational researchers?’ asked Donald McIntyre in his 1996 presidential address to the British Educational Research Association. Still pertinent to consideration of the direction in which the British educational research community ought to focus its development, this question is revisited through examination of whether or not educational research is a profession. Located within a sociological framework, the paper first examines some of the earliest work that established the sociology of professions as a field of study. It then compares this with recent work in the field, before considering whether or not – against the various criteria for professional status that these studies identify – educational research(ing) may be categorised as a profession. Using Noordegraaf’s three categories, the case is examined for considering educational research(ing) as a ‘pure’, a ‘hybrid’ or a ‘situated’ profession. The conclusion is that it represents none of these, but that, within the context of twenty-first-century working life, this is less important than the need for educational research to embrace a culture of developmentalism.
