开放大学学习中心的内涵、构成要素及功能作用探析

学习中心是开放大学办学体系的重要组成部分,其建设水平和功能作用的发挥直接关系到开放大学系统的整体发展乃至终身学习型社会建设的深入推进。作为开放大学的基层单位和办学终端,学习中心由基本要素和核心要素构成,具有远程教学和学习支持、社会服务、"教学的学术"和终身学习文化宣传等功能,并随着经济、社会和科技的发展而扩展功能。     

美国丹佛市公立学校教师绩效工资制度改革研究

当前丹佛市实施的公立学校教师专业薪酬制度被誉为美国绩效工资制度改革的典型代表。丹佛的改革取得显著成效的主要原因是获得了教师工会的支持和参与,并且经过长期的探索实践制定出了较为科学、完善、公平的绩效评估方案。丹佛绩效工资制度改革方案中对我们最具启发意义的主要有:注重团队绩效、既关注学生学业成绩也关注教师专业发展、绩效工资可升可降等。     

以中国"五行"相生的理念构建艺术实验教学大平台

学校实验中心是进行实验教学的场所,是进行研究创作的重要基地,是学校办学的重要基础条件之一.由于世界各国加速了城市化、工业化、经济全球化的进程,时代对艺术人才也提出了新的要求,迫切需要一大批具有公共服务能力的艺术人才来适应社会多方面的需求.视觉文化业已超越以往国、油、版、雕此类传统的造型方式.如何谋划它,最重要的便是要建立起一种基于中国"五行"相生理念的模式,融入中国对物质认识的传统"五行"相生理念:金、木、水、火、土.中国人认为万物离不开这5种基本生态,它们互相催生、彼此和谐,从而化生出世界万物,并形成循环反复的生命力.     

The not-so-free agent: Non-performance factors that contribute to free agent compensation premiums

In this study, the authors examine Major League Baseball free agency to identify whether certain factors beyond a player’s on-field performance contribute to contract premiums. These premiums are considered to be the difference between the compensation a player receives in free agency and the marginal revenue product (MRP_t-1) in their contract year. Using 345 free agent transactions over a four-year period (2012–2015), the authors examine the relationships between potential free agent contract premiums and the attributes of a player’s previous team, as well as how contract premiums may be influenced by the level of interest from other teams and certain facets of the acquiring teams. Results suggest that free agents tend to receive compensation premiums when they played for a successful team during their contract year. Playing for a large-market team during their contract year also influenced contract premiums. In addition, free agents tended to realize compensations premiums when multiple teams were bidding for their services, the acquiring teams were in playoff contention the prior year, and the acquiring teams possessed relatively more financial resources. Findings shed additional light on how factors peripheral to a player’s on-field performance may influence the free agency market. Recommendations include that effective control mechanisms are necessary to ensure free agent compensation is commensurate with the value of the player.     

高校科技成果转化要素结构性差异与配置困境——基于TOE理论与扎根理论的联合探索

科技成果转化效能低一直是推进科技赋能、实现科技强国的阻力。为推动科技成果转化效能提升，需要从各要素出发，探索要素结构性差异和配置困境，助力科技成果转化全要素配置。结合TOE理论和扎根理论，构建包含技术、组织、环境3类主范畴、8类次范畴在内的高校科技成果转化要素分析框架，对16个不同领域高校科技成果转化案例分类进行对比。研究发现，高校科技成果转化要素配置结构主要分为4类：环境制约型、技术—组织依赖型、环境—组织依赖型、均衡配置型；要素配置困境主要来源于政府、市场、高校、专业服务机构、科研团队五大主体，当前存在顶层设计缺失、专业服务体系不健全、人才流失、技术与市场供需不匹配等困境。
