Teaching and learning One-Course-At-A-Time

In 1978 Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, adopted the One-Course-At-A-Time calendar, under which professors teach and students take one course only for three-and-a-half week terms. This paper examines the impact of the calendar on overall faculty workload and student performance and development. It also considers faculty attitudes concerning the effects of the intensive format on teaching effectiveness and student learning, along with the types of courses and teaching methods best suited to the calendar.

谈网络教育手段在夜大学教学改革中的应用

网络教育作为一种新的教育手段和教学方式的出现,已经对传统成人教育的教育体制和教学模式造成冲击。特别是独立设置的夜大学成人高校或者非独立设置的普通高校夜大学成人教育部门,由于自身存在的缺陷,纷纷面临关门的危险。学习和借鉴网络教育的先进手段,一定能使夜大学成人教育焕发生机,为终身学习型社会的构建做出应有的贡献。     

何谓与何为——关于北京师范大学转型的初步研究

“十五”期间北京师范大学的战略任务是“实现向以教师教育、教育科学和文理基础学科为主要特色的综合性研究型大学的历史转型”。在教师教育方面,转型的主要任务是将教师培养的重心上移至“学士后”教师教育,并真正实现教师教育与各本科专业教育的“剥离”或教师教育的“教育学院化”。在人才培养上,应当确立“精品本科”的教育理念并形成研究生培养为主的办学格局,高度重视本科和研究生教育质量的提高。为了顺利实现历史转型,学校还必须高度重视学科发展和队伍建设的统一规划,大力推进学校内部管理体制的改革。     

人类经营是大学经营的大爱与现实选择——韩国水原大学、水原科技大学理事长李仁洙博士访谈录

编者按:2006年10月,在临沂大学召开的“大学经营国际论坛”上,韩国水原大学、水原科技大学两所大学的理事长李仁洙博士提出了大学经营要“经营全人类”的理念。会议期间,笔者有幸采访到了李仁洙博士,从企业家与大学经营、大学“人类经营”的价值体系、大学与传统文化的传承三个方面进行了交流。下面是此次访谈的简要内容,从中我们可以领略李仁洙博士以一个企业家的身份进入到高等教育领域后对大学经营的忧思与独特见解。他的见解、他的身份既代表了来自韩国高等教育的某种声音,同时也正如他所言“全世界的大学理念应是一样的”。这为我们探讨大学理念、进行比较教育提供了难得的机会和新的视角。

‘Breaking Ground’ in the use of social media: A case study of a university earthquake response to inform educational design with Facebook

On September 4 2010, a massive 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck the Canterbury region in the South Island of New Zealand. The response from the University of Canterbury was immediate and carefully co-ordinated, with the university's web-based environment and a responsive site developed on the social media platform ‘Facebook’ becoming prominent sources of support for many months. This case study illustrates how the university effectively utilised these environments and their impact within the wider university community. Case study methodology draws upon literature from the fields of social media, social network communities and crisis informatics. The findings propose that social media can effectively support information sharing, communication and collaboration in higher education contexts, in particular in times of crisis, but suggest there needs to be a defined purpose to integrate these within an institution's communications strategy given the resource implications and range of social media already used by students.     

To Cook or to Conjugate: gender and class in the adult curriculum 1865‐1900 in Bristol,United Kingdom

The paper compares and contrasts two historical moments in the education of women in Bristol (UK) in the period 1865‐1900. It first traces the university extension movement and the admitting of women to the new University College in 1876. Then, evening classes founded in the 1880s are discussed, where, in contrast to the university curriculum, women and girls were taught domestic skills. These different curricula are related to the social class background of the students. The paper concludes by discussing the predominance of the domestic curriculum in women's adult education today, suggesting that vocational training for working‐class girls has been transformed into leisure education for middle‐class women.     

The marginal costs of instruction

This is a study of the costs of instruction in a large public research university. It departs from other work on instructional costs in its attempt to draw inferences about the economic costs of incremental or marginal enrollments. Focusing on graduate education, we examine how the costs directly facing faculty differ from those incurred by the institution's administration and legislature as reflected in the budgetary rewards for instruction. These cost differences provide the wherewithal for a university to carry out basic research and other important functions that lack a paying clientele. The study also explores the roles of economic costs in the institution's pricing of graduate education.

‘Science Is Truly a Male World.’ The Interconnectedness of Knowledge,Gender and Power within University Education

In the 1970s the vicissitudes of university education were an important impetus for female students and members of staff to formulate feminist criticism on science subjects. Women's studies came into being, aiming at transforming academic scholarship and women's experience in education. Now that women's studies themselves are becoming institutionalised, new problems have developed and we need to question if science is now less of a male dominated bastion. In this article a case study is presented on the ‘trials’ and ‘tribulations’ of female university students at Wageningen Agricultural University in The Netherlands. A theoretical framework is introduced and an analysis of empirical material offered. It is apparent that female students are rather critical of their studies, although generally they do not leave the university before graduating. The university teacher emerges as a gatekeeper, holding the key of the door to the academic community, and using knowledge as a key resource.     

University Education and Residential Trends in Iceland

This study focuses on the effect of university education on developments relating to people's choice of residence in Iceland. In order to gain answers to the research questions, secondary data were obtained from official sources, trade unions, the data bank of the Social Science Institute, University of Iceland, and by interviewing 20 nursing and business administration graduates in Akureyri and Reykjavík. The conclusions indicate that a university education strongly affects various aspects of regional development. Graduates from the University of Iceland are a great deal likelier to settle in the area of the capital than graduates from the University of Akureyri, and vice versa . University education also has a notable influence on earnings, depending on the constituency in question, and a survey demonstrated that the origin of the persons interviewed and the residence of their parents were highly significant factors concerning the university they selected for study and their choice of residence after graduation. Furthermore, project work undertaken by the interviewees and their professional training during their course of study also had a considerable influence on their choice of employment after they had completed their studies. This is explorative research based on a restricted sample. The project provides important information, but the reader is warned against excessive generalisation based on the conclusions.
