The power of the ‘object’ to influence teacher induction outcomes

In this paper we explore newly qualified New Zealand secondary teachers’ varied accounts of induction. We claim that multiple interpretations of objectives for induction programs are a significant source of this variation. With reference to an activity system framework, we identify four primary objects of induction that were represented in the induction accounts as follows: ‘orientation to learning about the context’, ‘fitting into the school’, ‘completing registration requirements’, and ‘becoming a professional inquirer’. Whilst teachers would be expected to experience all of these objects within their induction experiences, the balance and emphases of these objects within programs varied considerably.

The European university landscape: A micro characterization based on evidence from the Aquameth project

This paper provides a new and systematic characterization of 488 universities, from 11 European countries: Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and UK. Using micro indicators built on the integrated Aquameth database, we characterize the European university landscape according to the following dimensions: history/foundation of university, dynamics of growth, specialization pattern, subject mix, funding composition, offer profile and productivity.     

职业院校精准资助工作体系的建构与应用

目前职业院校资助工作存在的突出问题有资助对象认定较为简单、资助实施举措较为单一、资助管理模式较为粗放。据此,文章提出职业院校精准资助工作体系的建构:建构资助对象的精准认定体系、建构资助实施的精准方法体系、建构资助过程的精准管理体系。最后说明了职业院校精准资助工作体系的应用:在资助对象的认定上注重定量与定性结合、在资助实施的方法上满足学生个性化需求、在资助管理的手段上建立信息化工作系统。
