Australian Higher Education Research and Society

This is the second part of a review of research on higher education since World War II. Fart I, published in the previous issue of this Journal, examined how research responded to post‐war reconstruction of the later 1940s and the rising community expectations for education of the 1950s and 1960s. In Part II the themes are equality of opportunity and the end of expansion. By the mid‐1960s many researchers were questioning the representativeness of participation in higher education and the nature of the education process. More recently some of the research questions have been reminiscent of the late 1940s, that is, how can the efficiency of higher education be improved. Whereas expansion and optimism characterised the first thirty post‐war years however, the context is now one of reduced resources and some pessimism.     

市场营销专业从普通专科教育向高职教育转型的思考

市场营销专业是目前高职院校广为开设的专业,而专业建设是体现办学特色的重要方面。因此,从普通专科教育和成人专科教育转型为高等职业教育的院校的市场营销专业,应在认清其制约因素的基础上,扬长避短,有针对性地进行专业定位、构建专业特色、开展专业教学建设。     

Australian Higher Education Research and Society

This is the first part of a review of research on higher education in Australia and New Zealand since World War II. The review is organised around four themes which more or less characterise higher education and society in the successive decades since 1945: post‐war reconstruction, rising expectations and expansion, the search for equality and the end of expansion. Much of the first post‐war research was motivated by a concern for efficiency, that is, predicting those students who would benefit from higher education. Later, researchers began to question the representativeness of participation in higher education and the nature of the education process. During the most recent decade some of the research questions are reminiscent of the late 1940s, that is, how can the efficiency of higher education be improved? However, whereas expansion and optimism characterised the first thirty post‐war years, the context now is one of contraction and some pessimism.

     

关于我国高等通识教育的若干思考

通识教育,是当前高等教育中讨论最为热烈的话题之一。在过去的二十年间,我国通识教育的开展有了较大进步,但实施过程中仍遇到一些瓶颈。基于此,文章探讨了我国通识教育进一步提升的空间,以期助力于提高我国高等教育水平和质量。     

高职教育改革与通识教育

职业教育与通识教育是高职教育不可或缺的两个属性,在具体操作过程中,不能简单地做加减法,而是要将通识教育与职业教育融合起来,在职业教育中体现通识教育的要求,使高职教育的两种属性在教育的过程中相辅相成,协调发展,共同完成高职教育的培养目标。

Teaching Literature for General Education

This study explored the relationship between identity development, as gauged by Marcia's identity development construct, and student perception of instructor political bias. Regression analysis was employed to compare participant responses on the Ego Identity Process Questionnaire, a measure of Marcia's construct, with the Political Bias in the Classroom Survey, a measure gauging perceptions of and reactions to instructor political bias. The EIPQ's commitment scale was found to be a significant positive indicator for the PBCS's perception scale, suggesting that students who are strongly committed to their identity are more likely to perceive an instructor as having a political bias. Recommendations are made for how to address perceptions of political bias.

Administrative Effectiveness in Higher Education: Improving Assessment Procedures

Holding higher education personnel accountable for measurable outcomes is a relatively new phenomenon. Assessing the performance of administrators may well provide needed and appropriate information about the functioning of the university, but it may represent high stakes assessment for individuals; that is, measures of administrative effectiveness may be tied to promotion, salary augmentation, contract renewal, or dismissal. Little previous research exists, however, on the assessment of administrators' performance in higher education (Gmelch et al., in press; Seldin, 1988). We develop an evaluation model for assessing and monitoring the effectiveness of academic deans and directors, using generalizability theory (i.e., an approach that focuses on identifying multiple sources of error in performance assessment) as a basis for developing more accurate assessment procedures. We illustrate this approach using faculty and staff assessments of their deans' leadership effectiveness. We also provide guidelines for improving the quality of assessments by adjusting various aspects of the evaluation model.     

Video Production Technology in Australian Higher Education

The paper describes the present state of the art of video programme production in Australian tertiary education, discusses the identity of the decision‐makers in the production sequence, and assesses the importance of video aesthetics. Against the background of some Australian media departments' production and hardware philosophy, the author describes four series of programmes produced at the ACUE.     

关于提升高校思想政治理论课实效性的调查研究

高校思想政治理论课是对大学生进行系统的马克思主义世界观、人生观、价值观教育的主渠道,而对该课程教育教学情况的实证性调查研究又是提升课程实效性的基本途径。个案调查的数据凸显出困扰当前高校思想政治理论课教育教学效果的诸多共性问题,只有从教育的客观环境、教育对象、教育者、教学管理等多个维度出发才能构建高校思想政治理论课教育教学的长效机制。

Teaching and Learning in the University: New Directions for Australian Higher Education

The purpose of this paper is to outline recent changes to higher education in Australia and assess the implications of those changes for teaching and learning in universities. Three main changes have been identified:
1. The meta-policy context that has transformed a binary system of higher education into a unified national system of universities. This has given rise to the concept of the comprehensive university accompanied by an economic rationalist approach to the funding of higher education. Issues identified are the relativities to be accorded to teaching and research in the new universities and the push for more efficient modes of teaching.
2. Institutional changes that have influenced the traditional character of universities. These changes include the politicisation of Vice-Chancellors whose peak body is now recognised by the government as the single voice of the university sector, the changing student composition of universities as a result of government policies relating to overseas students and students who have been traditionally underpresented in universities and the introduction of academic staff appraisal. An assessment is made of this broad range of changes on teaching and learning.
3. Changing conceptions of teaching are discussed with a particular emphasis on the work of Shulman and its implications for teaching in the university.     

The Re-Framing of Australian Higher Education

The aim of this paper is to analyse the changes in Australian higher education policy over the past two decades. Using frame analysis, two shifts in higher education policy are identified. The first is in the late 1980s where the view of higher education as having a broad social, economic and cultural role was changed to one that emphasised expansion, marketisation and competition. The second is currently taking place in which universities are becoming seen as business competitors in a global higher education market, and as such, privatisation and deregulation are centrally important. This paper demonstrates the usefulness of frame analysis as a way of examining the systemic effects of policy decisions in a way that draws together and uncovers how the various and complex forces of government policies and broader social and economic events combine to create the difficult terrain through which universities must now plot a course.
