Student Experiences With Information Technology And Their Relationship To Other Aspects Of Student Engagement

Colleges and universities have made considerable effort to get students to use information technology productively. This study uses data from the 2003 administration of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to investigate the relationships between student uses of information technology and other forms of student engagement. There appears to be a strong positive relationship between using information technology for educational purposes and involvement in effective educational practices such as active and collaborative learning and student–faculty interaction. The results also point to the prospect that particular areas of involvement with information technology could be viewed as forms of engagement in and of themselves. In addition, when students use information technology it may increase their opportunities for other types of engagement.     

The Effects of Engagement in Inquiry-Oriented Activities on Student Learning and Personal Development

Using data from the College Student Experience Questionnaire research program between 1998 and 2004, this study examined the effects of student engagement in inquiry-oriented activities on a range of self-reported college outcomes. The results indicate that (1) engaging in inquiry-oriented activities has significant and positive effects on a global measure of gains; (2) engagement has positive effects on some college outcomes but negative effects on others; (3) the effects of inquiry-oriented activities are conditional, with some students benefiting more than others. This study reveals the complexity of the influences of inquiry-oriented activities on college students and points to implications for institutional policies and programs that may be effective in fostering desired college outcomes.

论新时期高校教工小家建设的作用

新时期高校多校区办学局面已经形成,传统的教工之家建设模式已不能适应新形势的需要。高校工会应顺应形势,创新思路,在努力建好学校教工之家的同时,大力加强教工小家建设,在加强学校民主管理与监督、发挥工会教育职能、维护教职工合法权益、促进校园文化建设等方面发挥作用。     

Being (Dis)Engaged in Educationally Purposeful Activities: The Influences of Student and Institutional Characteristics

The self-reported experiences of 50,883 undergraduates at 123 institutions were analyzed using a multinomial hierarchical model to identify individual and institutional characteristics associated with varying levels of student engagement in educationally purposeful activities. Parental education and student academic preparation were positively associated with higher levels of engagement. White students were generally less engaged than students from other racial and ethnic groups whereas men were more likely to be either disengaged or highly engaged compared with women. Students at public institutions and research universities were less engaged than their counterparts at private colleges and other institutional types. Individual student perceptions of certain aspects of the institutional environment affected engagement in complicated ways.     

学习支持服务与学生参与度关系的调查研究——以浙江奥鹏远程教育为例

远程教育的质量和效益竞争离不开良好的学习支持服务,因此,关注远程教育的学习支持服务问题,提高学习支持服务的力度,是解决远程教育质量问题和持续发展问题的重要途径,其中学生学习参与度又是考量学习支持服务是否具有力度的重要方法。基于这样的认识,本研究在访谈和文献分析基础上设计了“学习支持服务问卷”和“学生学习参与度问卷”,就两者互相影响的问题专门展开了调查,调查数据显示学习支持服务和学习参与度之间存在显著正相关。希望本研究能对学习支持服务方面的决策提供支撑。

学生课程参与的内涵、结构与类型

学生课程参与在深层次上体现了人与世界、人与知识以及人与社会关系的转变。学生课程参与的结构不仅限于认知维度,还包含社会维度和自我维度。但在三个维度上,学生常常处于"公共知识"、"教师权威"和"学生本份"的宰治下,不能真正有效地参与课程。突破三重宰治,需要展开知识建构式参与、文化批判式参与和存在体验式参与。

The Impact of On-campus Student Growth on First-year Student Engagement and Success

During the past two decades institutions of all types have sought to expand and enhance residential facilities. Institutional focus on scale, configuration, amenities, and academic integration has sought to leverage prior research documenting the multiple and often positive impacts of on-campus residence. Although institutional size has been documented to differentially impact student engagement [Kezar, A. J. (2006). NASPA Journal 43(1): 87–114], few studies, however, have directly explored the effect of residential expansion on student engagement. This study, based on a sample of 731 first-time freshmen explores NSSE results before and after the opening of a residential facility that doubled on-campus living at a single, metropolitan institution. Results indicate limited positive differences after opening, and suggest that structure, in the form of size, does not, in and of itself, contribute significantly to shifting engagement. Additionally, these results suggest an alternative method for using NSSE data in institutional analyses.

大学教育力视角下大学生类型的分布变化及其影响因素——基于H大学本科生学习与发展调查的追踪研究

基于H大学2014年和2016年两次本科生学习与发展调查数据,运用大学教育力理论模型,从大学教育射程和学生期望两个维度将学生分为高度匹配型、被动顺应型、独立型和排斥型四种类型,追踪研究不同类型学生分布的变化和特征,并从学校支持和学生投入两个维度,运用多项logistic回归分析,探索其对学生类型及其变化的影响。研究表明:四种类型学生在数量分布上存在显著差异,且经过两年的学习均发生变化;四类学生在对待学校支持的态度和学生投入的表现上存在明显的异质化倾向;学校支持和学生投入是影响学生类型分布的重要因素,但对不同学生类型的影响差异较大。建议针对不同类型学生采取相应措施,以扩大和增强大学教育力的辐射范围与力度。     

论高校教育质量与大学生就业

当代大学生就业难,毕业生综合素质不高、就业竞争能力不强是重要原因之一。高校应通过全面了解社会对人才的需求特点,深化教育教学改革,建立与社会合作的教育全面质量管理体系,提高教育质量,提升学生的综合素质,才能保证大学生的充分就业。     

新时代大学生学习现状调查及动力机制研究--基于地方普通高校的调查

由于诸多因素的影响,新现代大学生仍存在着学习动力不足问题。通过问卷与访谈调查,揭示了新时代大学生在学习态度、学习方式、学习动机、学习品质以及影响其学习因素等五个维度上的表现。结果显示,多数学生不注重课堂听讲,对考试期望不高,缺少学术精神。多数学生倾向于自主学习,把课余时间一般用于专业学习之外,在学习动机上功利性较强,影响因素多元。在此基础上提出了构建大学生有效学习动力机制系统的建议。

Factors That Promote Faculty Involvement in and Satisfaction with Institutional and Classroom Student Assessment

This study examines institutional factors that promote faculty satisfaction with their institution's approach to and support for student assessment and that are related to faculty involvement in their institution's support practices and in their own engagement with student assessment in the classroom. The study is based on a survey of faculty from 7 institutions that vary by type, control, and accrediting region. The institution's student assessment purposes, its administrative support patterns, and its faculty instructional impacts are significant predictors of faculty satisfaction with their institution's approach to and support for student assessment. External influences on, faculty uses, and perceived benefits of professional development practices for student assessment are significant predictors of faculty involvement with student assessment in their institution and their classes.
