新时代高校教师一般育人能力探讨

新时代高校教师一般育人能力的提出有其内在的逻辑和独特的价值意蕴,是一种超越了学科专业差异的通识能力,是高校教师育人能力的共性能力素质要求,是高校教师应具备的全过程、全方位育人能力,包括以情立教的教育情怀感染能力、以德育人的人格示范能力、以行施教的教育过程引导能力和政治引领的课程思政能力.教育情怀感染能力是高校教师出于对教育事业的热爱而展现出来的敬业精神、理想信念和人文关怀对学生的影响能力;人格示范能力是高校教师为胜任育人工作所必备的良好的性格修养、心理倾向、情感意志、道德品质以及规范的行为方式等人格特质;教育过程引导能力是高校教师通过育人方式、方法等表现出来的实践智慧,包括学习指导、互动交往、组织管理、环境营造、学生评价、资源整合等能力;课程思政能力是高校教师通过教书以达成育人目标的能力,是其充分挖掘学科专业课程中所蕴含的思政元素,并将知识教学和思想政治教育内在统一起来的能力.这四种能力具有内在的逻辑关系,不是彼此孤立、相互割裂的,而是一个结构性的整体,共同构成高校教师的一般育人能力.     

大众化进程中地方高校面临的问题与成因探究

我国高校开展远程教育的现状分析

从1998年9月至2001年春,教育部批准了45所高等院校通过网络技术开办远程高等教育,其中44所是普通高校。本文以44所的网络教育学院为研究对象,前一部分介绍和分析远程教学中的几个重要主题,如办学层次与规模、学习模式、教学管理、学生支持服务及教学技术平台等;后一部分描述和评价网上教学的开放性、灵活性、质量保证、规模与效益等主题。尽管网上教学有种种优势,但这些优势能否充分发挥,取决于良好的网上管理、优质课程、教学设计、资源共享、教学传递及学生支持服务等等。希望本研究能有助于网络教育机构之间的合作,并对网上教育工作者建设高质量的网上教学有所启发。     

试论地方高等教育发展所面临的机遇

经济全球化的迅猛发展，平在日益深刻地影响世界各国的政治、经济、科技、文化的改革与发展，中国高等教育将面临着更大的挑战。同时也给高等教育提供了难得的机遇：高等教育的地位将进一步提升；投资渠道多元化将为高等教育经费的大幅度提高提供机遇；国际合作进一步加强。因此，深刻、理性地研究和分析经济全球化对高等教育，尤其是对中国地方高等教育的影响，并制定适合地方高等教育发展的战略乃是当务之急。

A comparative study of planning capability and capacity in Chinese and Western higher education institutions

In the tradition of open systems/sociotechnical systems theory, this case study research compared data gathered from three Chinese higher education institutions and from an international panel of experts on strategic planning. Conceptual and measurement distinctions were made between capability and capacity, and between current and realizable practice. Planning capability refers to human factors such as commitment, participation, coordination, and technology such as knowledge, equipment, and techniques necessary to conduct successful planning. Planning capacity is concerned with the openness of the system and its range of options, the authority or freedom at the institutional level to make decisions and to implement long-term planned changes, and the degree requirements and guidelines from outside the institution which influence its decision-making process. While analysis was attempted for both Chinese and Western institutions, more attention was directed to the Chinese setting.     

Diffusion of distance education in Turkish higher education

Conclusion In this paper, Rogers's diffusion theory was used to analyze the acceptance and implementation of the innovation of distance education in higher education in Turkey. Distance education was not successfully adopted between 1970 and 1980 in Turkey because of organizational problems. Distance education was effectively and efficiently diffused in Turkey after 1982. Thousands of students today earn university diplomas studying at a distance. On the other hand, problems of organization, technology, and perceptions remain to be addressed. It is to be hoped that in the future the OEF will be independent or have more autonomy. This will help it deliver instruction to its students.the evaluator of the Learning Community Link Project at the University.     

Transfer students in institutions of higher education

The primary purpose of this study is to describe the extent of college transfers over two years since initial matriculation and to examine differences in background characteristics between transfers and nontransfers (i.e., persisters, withdrawals, and graduates). Data involved a national probability sample of the 1972 entering class. Major findings include the following: 25% of the 2-year college students transferred to a 4-year institution, and 16% of 4-year college students moved to another 4-year institution. This later group of students tended to hold higher socioeconomic status and college grades but lower ability test scores than persisters. Implications of the findings are also discussed.     

Factors affecting corporate image from the perspective of distance learning students in public higher education institutions

New information technologies enable different interactions in the educational environment, affecting how the image of educational institutions adopting distance-learning programmes is perceived. This article identifies factors affecting the perception of corporate image from the viewpoint of distance-learning students at public higher education institutions. The results indicate that the institution’s image is a translation of impressions generated from the individual’s interaction with various organisational components, based on relevant cognitive and affective aspects according to the way of observing the environment. The study demonstrated both the multidimensionality of the image and that the institution’s overall image is associated most strongly with its affective image. The study also demonstrated that the virtual environment was the factor most strongly associated with affective image.

Conflict at higher education institutions: factors and solutions for Yemen

This is a qualitative case study focusing on reporting the dynamics that cause conflicts between academics and administrators in higher education in Yemen. Drawing upon a critical review of two policy documents, observational research and in-depth interviews with 59 administrators and academics, the article presents the key factors for conflict in higher education and provides a model for resolving it.     

Patterns of strategies in Swiss higher education institutions

This paper contributes to the debate on strategic capability of academic organizations by presenting three case studies of Swiss Higher Education Institutions. Strategies are conceived as instruments by which universities manage their organizational processes and deal with their environments in order to select a portfolio of activities and find an appropriate position in the higher education system. Our findings show that strategies are at the same time a matter of intentions and actions: first, they relate to current HEI’s position within the national Higher education system—and to relevant normative models—as well as to the degree of institutional autonomy. Second, even within participatory governance structures, organizational strategies appear to be initiated by the academic administrators, then substantially shaped and subscribed by academics at different stages. In this perspective, the dynamic relation of formal and informal processes holds diverse functions from making academics accept a strategy, to controlling and coordinating decentralized organizational structures.     

Examining organizational climate in institutions of higher education

Two major questions related to organizational climate have existed in the organizational theory literature for the past twenty years. First, at what level of analysis should the construct of climate be operationalized (i.e., does climate have greater relevance at an organizationwide or subunit level?). Second, in what specific ways do organizations with positive climates differ from those with comparatively more negative climates. This study examines organizational climate in nine four-year public colleges and utilizes data from 2,937 respondents. The most significant findings are: (1) Climate does have relevance at the organizational level in that it distinguishes carnpuses from one another, but subunits, particularly academic departments, account for the largest proportion of variance; (2) administrators have significantly and consistently more positive perceptions of organizational climate than do faculty; (3) faculty at campuses with comparatively more positive climates report greater goal clarity and performance standards.
