美国大学教师的学术自由权利:历史的视角

美国大学教师的学术自由权利经历了"学院时代"与"大学时代"两大历史时期的发展。美国大学教师学术自由权利的争取过程,同时也是赋予学术自由权利以认识论和政治论意义的过程。历史证明,学术自由权利是保障大学教师从事知识创新与探索活动的基本权利,是保护教学与研究工作免受各种不合理干扰和限制的必要权利,是赋予大学教师适当社会地位和必要经济保障的重要权利,也是一项与学术责任相伴生的有限权利。     

全球化背景下文化发展的世界化和民族化

全球化的发展,必然会带来文化在全球范围内的大规模交流与互动,由于经济基础对文化的决定作用和文化的相对独立性,全球化背景下文化的发展既在相互吸收和借鉴中走向世界化,又在自觉和创新中彰显个性,世界化和民族化是全球化背景下文化发展的主要方向.     

Reason before passion: faculty views on internationalization in higher education

In this era of globalization, internationalization—both as an idea and an agenda—is receiving widespread attention at academic institutions across North America. Although faculty are necessarily key participants in initiatives to internationalize academia, surprisingly little work has been published that addresses the roles, responsibilities, and problems faced by the faculty on an operational level. This article has been written to provide administrators with some insight into faculty perspectives on the goals, strategies, and processes of internationalization. The authors present a case study of internationalization processes currently underway in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon. They discuss a faculty-driven approach that focused on mapping internationalization, addressing barriers to internationalization, and improving structures and systems to enhance internationalization. An in-depth critical analysis of the case leads to recommendations and a framework for navigating diverse tensions and responsibilities implicit in an internationalization imperative.

我国大学学术国际化的现状与问题述评

大学学术国际化是我国在全球发展大环境背景下的必然选择,也是大学教育自身发展的必然要求。目前我国大学学术国际化趋势明显,但对大学学术国际化过程的风险存在误解,其交流和传播还存在障碍。提高大学学术国际化水平的关键在于：要正确对待学术本土化与国际化问题;发挥好政府、学校、师生三方合力的作用;同时学校要积极组织在职教师的外语培训学习。     

Academic bullying among faculty personnel in Estonia and Finland

This comparative study focuses on the prevalence, nature, and manifestations of experienced bullying among faculty personnel, that is, both academic and management staff of universities in Estonia and Finland. A total of 1,191 respondents from Estonia (n = 864) and Finland (n = 327) responded to identical questionnaires. The results show that 27 per cent of respondents in Estonia and 18 per cent in Finland had experienced bullying within six months prior to the study. In Estonia bullying is most commonly straightforward and may include insulting an individual in the presence of colleagues, while in Finland people typically get indirectly slandered behind their back. In Estonia, work-related threats of blame, violence, humiliation and ridicule are typical, whereas it is more ordinary to make negative work-related remarks in Finland. The dissimilar factor models and the categories based on open-ended answers also confirm the presupposition of academic bullying as a culture-related phenomenon.     

深化大学英语教学改革推进黑龙江省国际化进程

我国自加入WTO以来,各领域的发展已经逐步迈向国际化舞台,英语作为国际通用语言,其普及率在一定程度上代表着一个城市的人文素养和国际化水平,甚至还直接影响了一个城市在国际舞台中扮演的角色。黑龙江省要想在国际化进程中跟随主流,就必须带动起大学英语教学的改革,使得大学英语教学在培养适应经济全球化、有国际意识和国际竞争力人才的过程中起到明显的作用。本文基于对大学英语教学改革的必要性的阐述,提出了深化大学英语教育改革的若干措施,最后详细说明了加强大学英语教育改革对推进城市国际化的重要性。     

高校教师聘任的制度设计——基于学术职业管理的研究

高校教师职业是学术职业,高校教师聘任的制度设计,要遵循学术职业的特点。在教师聘任的制度设计中,要根据学术发展的需要设置岗位;根据学术职业的特点,将"有固定期限"聘任和"无固定期限"聘任作为一种制度设计,建立学术职业"准入"制度;根据学术自由的要求,在评价考核中,采取发展性评价,改进学术评议机构,保证学术评议的独立性;根据学术平等的要求,采用集体合同与契约合同相结合的办法,依法规范教师聘用合同;根据学术公正的要求,建立一个"中立"的、组织健全的争议处理机构,协调教师之间、教师与学校之间的争端,维护教师的权益,推进学校的发展。     

Impacts of university education reform on faculty perceptions of workload

Since the corporatization of national universities, the environment surrounding Japanese universities has dramatically changed in various respects. A series of government-led attempts have intended to support the domestic colleges and universities in gaining a competitive edge by improving the quality of teaching and research as well as guaranteeing the international validity of the country's higher education system. Impacts of all the challenges that have been tackled with internal efforts in the last few years could be enormous on the personnel workload. However, little is known about the impacts of Japan's recent university education reform, particularly on the changing workload of the faculty who engage at the forefront in student teaching and advising, administrative roles as well as research activities. Using results from individual faculty interviews, this paper attempts to link the changing workload of Japanese professors with specific reasons that are rooted in the country's recent university education reform. Reviewing the effects of the reform on faculty workload provides us with important insights for the long term and guides us to prevent the derailment from the endeavour to which a significant amount of resources have been dedicated by the country.     

高校教师聘任制中的若干关系

高校教师聘任制涉及社会生活、社会文化的方方面面,牵一发而动全身,必须认识和处理好其中的若干关系。制度约束行为,思想规导制度,首先要厘清规导教师聘任制的相关理念。实施教师聘任制具有学术和效率双重目标,但学术目标是大学坚守的生命线,效率目标应为学术目标服务。由于学术职业的特殊要求,教师聘任制中要形成甄选机制,以达到优化的目的。在聘任制过程中应处理好应然和实然的关系,逐步从实然达到应然。     

高等教育国际化的前景展望:动因与现实

作为当今世界不可逆转的趋势,全球化推动了高等教育国际化的进程,促成了高等教育成为国际自由贸易的一个重要组成部分,并使得营利性高等教育部门的影响力不断扩大。由于高等教育的优势资源主要集中在发达国家,少数发达国家主导了高等教育的国际化,并从中获得了大部分的经济利益,而中等收入国家和发展中国家则扮演了高等教育的购买国。最新的研究表明,虽然新的机会和潜在的利益与风险并存,但国际化仍然是未来世界高等教育发展的主要趋势。     

国际化与本土化:中国大学模式的艰难选择

在全球化局势下,中国高等教育该如何发展成为一个突出的问题。中国高等教育发展既要符合中国社会发展要求,又要与世界高等教育趋势融合,这就是"中国大学模式"问题核心所在。为此出现了国际化与民族化两种不同声音,而文化本体说渐渐成为一种主导学说。然而真正的难点却在于如何借鉴国外经验和该保留哪些中国特色。这一难题考验中国大学的创造性潜力,而解答这一难题的第一责任人就是大学校长。     

我国高校学部的基本权力、分类及相关思考——基于我国学部制改革的调查研究

我国部分高水平研究型大学为促进学科间的交叉与融合以及相关院系的资源整合,积极探索"学部制"改革。按照赋予学部的职责和权力,可以将学部划分为"虚体型"、"实体型"和"实虚结合型"三类。其中虚体型学部是指仅具有跨学院的学术决策或咨询权力,而实体型学部还具有管理学院的行政权力和政治权力。由于管理重心下移和扁平化管理已成为高校内部治理的趋势,同时学部制改革可能会冲击既有的学术生态,所以需取慎重态度,如果改革是以学科和科研发展为直接目的,建议采取虚体型或实虚结合型学部。     

Rethinking the mission of internationalization of higher education in the Asia-Pacific region

This article adopts the critical theory approach to reflect and analyse the impacts of globalization on the internationalization process of higher education in the Asia-Pacific region. It argues that globalization forces many of the higher education institutions in the region to follow global practices and ideologies of the Anglo-American paradigm without developing their own unique systems and honouring the rich cultures of their own countries. While higher education institutions are indulging in internationalization in terms of marketization and economic pragmatism, they have to ask themselves, ‘What is missing in the process of internationalization?’ This article argues that internationalization of higher education contributes to building more than economically competitive and politically powerful states. It represents a commitment to the development of an internationalized curriculum where the pursuit of global citizenship, human harmony and a climate of global peace is of paramount importance.     

论大学教师聘任制改革中的科学管理

以聘任制为核心的高校人事制度改革对学校管理提出了新的要求,只有实行科学管理,才能逐步建立促进学术职业和高校共同发展的新的人事管理制度。在聘任制改革中,加强共享决策与参与管理,协调学术权力与行政权力,完善相关的规章制度,同时,进一步完善人事管理部门的职能,是改革实施成效的重要保障。     

论大学教师生活方式的特殊性

大学教师生活方式的特殊性,是知识分子角色要求的独特性、大学组织的独特性及教育工作的独特性在大学教师生活中的具体体现,是大学教师在生活价值、生活内容和生活态度等方面所具有的总体特征。它表现为日常生活的朴素性、学术生活的创新性、道德与信仰生活的自觉性和社会生活的批判性。     

关于高校师资队伍国际化建设的几点思考

高等学校师资队伍国际化是高等教育国际化的核心。国家公派出国留学规模的扩大,省际出国留学项目的相继出台,为高校加强师资队伍国际化建设提供了良好的机遇,但是高校依然存在诸如师资队伍国际化程度不高,人才流失等一系列问题。高校应当结合国家和高校发展的需求,采取一系列措施,引进和培养国际化人才,加强师资队伍国际化建设。     

Assessing service in faculty reviews: mentoring faculty and developing transparency

Universities generally have clear expectations for teaching and scholarship, and often a faculty member’s publications, research and scholarship are the primary factors in tenure and promotion decisions. Many universities do include service as one component in annual reviews as well as in assessing progress toward tenure and promotion. Unfortunately, criteria for evaluating service are often not specified. Having vaguely outlined expectations for service sends a message that service does not matter, ultimately doing a ‘disservice’ to faculty who need guidance on appropriate levels of service. As much as possible, department chairs, governance bodies that represent the faculty, and administrators who are responsible for evaluating faculty need to ensure that faculty members understand how they will be assessed in the area of service and to make evaluation in this area as transparent as possible.     

The internationalization of higher education with Chinese characteristics: Appadurai's ideas explored

The aim of this paper is to explore Appadurai's ideas of global cultural flows in the context of the internationalization of higher education in China. Studies on the internationalization of higher education have increased with the expansion of international activities on university campuses; however, more theoretical analysis in the field is necessary, especially in less studied and rapidly developing countries such as China. Appadurai's theorization may provide new insights into the field because of its background in the changes transforming international student flows: intensified migration and mass mediation. The research data of the paper consist of previous literature and statistical data. The paper focuses first on analysing the general ideas of Appadurai's model and second on one of the scapes of the model, the ideoscape. The paper suggests that Appadurai's ideas of global cultural flows, when expanded through further research and theorization, provide a heuristic framework for analysing the internationalization of higher education in China. The continuing significance of the nation state and the locality of international actions characterize the internationalization of higher education. Furthermore, the ideoscape of the internationalization of higher education has widened because the volume and the range of activities at universities have expanded.     

Process of internationalization of business schools in Latin America: the case of EAESP/FGV,Brazil

This article analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of the academic internationalization process, through the main events and pathways developed over the 60 years of the EAESP/FGV, the São Paulo Business School of the Getulio Vargas Foundation (Brazil). A survey was conducted of former directors, coordinators of the main international programs and all school faculty (266 professors) about their training and international activities. EAESP/FGV has developed a diverse and consolidated international career, surpassing the activities related to teaching and student mobility. However, there are some opportunities to deepen internationalization as a strategic brand of the institution.
