A Developmental Approach to Graduate Education Review: A New Take on a Traditional Process

In this article we describe the Graduate Review and Improvement Process (GRIP), an innovative evaluation process that makes student input central, now beginning its fifth year of implementation at the University of Minnesota. We begin by contrasting GRIP with traditional graduate program review, and we then explain the conceptual underpinnings of action research and developmental evaluation. We next explain how the process began and evolved from 2011 to the present, including discussion of the perceived benefits that participants reported. The article concludes with four challenges to this process: resources, changing leadership, turnover, and faculty engagement.

随着中国经济的迅速增长与国际地位的不断提升,全球学习汉语的人越来越多,汉语正随着中国的崛起而走向世界,成为世界范围内一种重要语言。国家面向中亚地区汉语教育与推广战略的实施,进一步推动了中国与中亚教育交流与合作的发展,越来越多的中亚学生加入到汉语学习的行列中来。中亚来华留学生人数激增。新疆得天独厚的区域优势,成为发展留学生教育的亮点。文章探讨了如何充分发挥新疆的"区域软实力",发展留学生教育,并以留学生教育合作为契机,塑造新疆的区域形象,提升新疆的"区域软实力",以进一步拓展新疆与中亚之间教育合作的空间。     

新型农民能力培养与职业教育的途径探讨

培养有文化、懂技术、会经营的新型农民,是新农村建设的重要目标。目前,我国农民的整体素质与建设社会主义新农村尚有不小的差距。要培育和造就新型农民、加强职业教育,必须开展农村文化建设、劳动力职业技能培训,加强经营素质培训,培养农民的创业精神,更新农村职业教育发展的观念,积极推进农民的现代化进程。     

互动教学法新论

互动教学是由信息互动、情感互动、问题互动、思想互动、教学互动构成的教学过程。有效应用互动教学法,教师要树立育人为本的教育理念,备课时要有延展性。同时,教师要自觉地开展创新教育,要有完成新时期教育任务的使命感。     

优先发展教育探讨

21世纪是知识经济的时代,其标志是知识成为社会经济发展的动力,成为经济增长的关键性要素,而作为生产知识的教育,具有十分重要的现实意义,应该优先发展.本文从教育的内在本质和功能、教育的基本特征、社会经济发展的过程等三个方面进行论述,说明了对教育的内在本质和特征(生产性)的科学认识和把握,是优先发展教育的理论依据.同时,从教育与社会经济之间的关系上,进一步揭示了优先发展教育是社会经济发展到一定阶段的必然选择.     

关于教育融资的新思路

教育是基础生产力，应优先发展。在财政投入不足的情况下，可考虑发行教育彩票加以补充。发行教育彩票对优化社会资源配置、促进国民经济发展、减轻财政分配压力、完善市场结构等具有积极意义。发行教育彩票不会造成不公平、不稳定和传统美德的还丧失。教育彩票筹资应主要用于高校扩招、扶持民族教育、补充“两基”工作投入的不足、补育国家对部分高水平大学和学科的投入、支持教育部人社科重点研究基地的建设五个方面。要增加彩票发行额度，单列教育彩票发行指标，在发行方式上要采用传统与现代相结合的方式，突破地区限制，实行跨区发行，并且加强发行管理。     

Developing Instructional Web Sites – A Software Engineering Approach

This paper focuses on the application of software engineering practices to the development of instructional web sites. The development of a web site, to support a distance or campus-based online course, is a very complex process that involves many instructional and technical aspects, including the instructional purpose of the course, its content, its structure, its interface, and its teaching–learning activities. The use of a method is essential for dealing with the complexity of this process. We describe, in this paper, a software engineering method that helps course designers and teachers to develop high quality instructional web sites. The design of the method was based on the integration of well-known principles, concepts and process models borrowed from instructional design, method engineering, and object-oriented software engineering. The method addresses the managerial processes required to plan, organize, and control the project, as well as the instructional and technical activities involved in the development of high quality course sites.

大力发展研究生教育 努力建设研究型的高水平大学

研究生教育是在本科生教育和科学研究工作的基础上逐渐发展起来的最高层次的高等教育。当一个新的学校(或专业)刚刚建立的时候,必须把主要力量放在本科生教育上,逐步完善本科生的培养目标、培养规格、教学计划、教学大纲、课程设置、教材建设、实验室建设等,努力捉高本科生的培养质量。经过这一阶段之后,学校及其所属院系应当不失时机地强化科学研究工作,更多地鼓励教师承担科研课题,走向国家经济建设和科技发展的主战场。有了坚实的本科生教育和科研工作基础,有了科研经费和指导教师队伍的保障,高等教育向研究生教育阶段的发展不仅成为可能,也是客观需要。不仅如此,当本科生教育和科学研究工作形成一定规模、达到一定水平后,学校及其所属院系的发展水平就主要体现在研究生教育上。     

Complex Approach to Developing Computer-based Electrical Engineering Education

The technological advances which have occurred in recent years have forced tertiary engineering institutions to search for more advanced and efficient teaching methods. More undergraduate curricula now include the use of computers in teaching programmes, not only for complex computations and computer simulation, but also as an important vehicle for the delivery of teaching material and instructions. This paper gives a comprehensive overview of the variety of research and developmental activities for computer-based education which is carried out in the School of Electrical Engineering at The University of Sydney. The paper endeavours to demonstrate a complex approach to the application of computers in teaching electrical engineering. Particular emphasis is placed on the research and development of computer-based training programmes for undergraduate students, discussing some issues relevant to this important topic.     

A New Approach to Quality Assurance for Higher Education

This article describes the Engineering Professors' Conference (EPC) approach to quality assurance for Higher Education Institutions, which is currently the only formalized alternative to British Standard 5750 'Quality Systems'. The EPC approach is based on principles of quality assurance and Total Quality Management which have been developed in industry. These ideas are briefly outlined, and an opinion expressed on the interpretation and application of BSS7S0 for HE. The EPC model is explained, illustrated with example elements taken from the EPC Specification and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Higher Education. A top-down approach to the development of an institutional quality system is described, based on a quality policy statement. Areas of activity which have an important impact on the quality of education are identified, emphasising the quality assurance requirements of academic departments. Supporting and administrative quality system requirements are also described, as these also play an important role in the quality of education. Formal quality procedures and documentation in key areas are proposed.

Reaching Graduate Students at Risk for Suicidal Behavior Through the Interactive Screening Program

Suicidal behavior is a significant concern among graduate students. Because many suicidal graduate students do not access mental health services, programs to connect them to resources are essential. This article describes the Interactive Screening Program (ISP), an anonymous, Web-based tool for screening and engaging at-risk graduate school students. We include qualitative responses from participating graduate students providing information on their symptoms or circumstances, desire for treatment, and gratitude for services. Concluding remarks highlight ISP's benefits for graduate students and ways to implement this protocol for other graduate student populations.
