Insight into Industry: one school's approach

Leadership provided by the headteacher is widely acknowledged to be a crucial variable in determining the effectiveness of schools. However, the majority of leadership studies consist of either surveys or interviews which the researcher has conducted with head teachers or case studies written by the head teachers which draw heavily upon their own experience, and as such are essentially 'autobiographical' in the perspective they provide on leadership in schools (Ribbins &; Sherratt, 1992). The objectives of this article are to: set out a new model of effective school leadership based on recently completed empirical research; demonstrate how the multi-perspective methodology adopted contributed to a critique of existing models of leadership and the development of a new grounded model and discuss the analytical issues raised by the multi-perspective methodology which involved all the stakeholders in a school community.

达斡尔族网络语言生活与语言生活的层次自相似性

笔者运用混沌学的层次自相似性理论知识分析达斡尔族网络语言生活的现状。据初步调查,达斡尔族网络语言使用状况、语言态度与现实生活中达斡尔族语言使用状况及语言态度相吻合,但又不是单纯的部分加部分等于整体的叠加。在自相似性结构中,网络语言生活不可能包含达斡尔族语言生活的全部信息,表现出一定的非相似性。     

COMPROMISE MODELS FOR ESTABLISHING EXAMINATION STANDARDS

Cutoff scores based on absolute standards can be unacceptable in terms of the number of failures they produce. Cutoff scores based on relative standards, that is, cutoff scores set to achieve a fixed percentage of failures, can be unacceptable because an acceptable performance level for passed examinees cannot be guaranteed. In some situations one can improve upon an absolute standard using a compromise model, which draws on the information in the observed score distribution for a test to adjust the standard. Three compromise models are described and compared in this article.     

“双一流”建设背景下大学跨学科组织的学科网络结构研究

基于耗散结构理论对跨学科组织形成的原因进行分析,将学科间的知识流动作为学科间的联结方式,根据结构洞理论提出三种跨学科组织学科网络结构模式：辐射模式、汇聚模式、“沙龙”模式。通过对跨学科组织的学科基础和组织目标两个方面的分析,认为三种模式的形成是高校以优势学科为基础,根据内外部需求和学科特点构建的结果。在比较国内外大学跨学科组织构建情况的基础上,提出我国高校跨学科组织应当厚植学科基础、明确战略目标、创新组织模式。     

Women@Work: Listening to gendered relations of power in teachers' talk about new technologies

This article examines teachers' working identities, focusing on gender inequities among teachers, within the school system, and in society, especially in relation to their competence with and use of computers. It highlights some of the less obvious tensions that are central to the work of teaching in relation to these new technologies, paying explicit attention to the gender inequities that continue to structure our understandings of both teaching as a profession and technology as a cultural artefact. In particular, the article documents how, for the teachers who were studied, perceptions of expertise and experiences of access in relation to new technologies were produced and maintained by the gender inequities evident in computing cultures pervasive in both schools and society more generally.
