Making educational development and change sustainable: Insights from complexity theory

This article considers the challenge of sustainable change and development in education from the perspective of complexity theory. Complexity theory’s concept of emergence implies that, given a significant degree of complexity in a particular environment, new properties and behaviours emerge that are not necessarily contained in the essence of the constituent elements, or easily able to be predicted from a knowledge of initial conditions. These concepts of emergent phenomena from a critical mass, associated with notions of lock-in, path dependence, and inertial momentum, contribute to a perspective on continuity and change that indicates what conditions might need to be in place for the emergence of sustainable, positive, system-wide change and development in education.

我国出版业与城市化的相关性研究

从统计学原理的角度定量地对出版业与城市化进行相关性分析,结果发现出版业与城市化有着强相关性,并结合中国出版业现状对数据结果进行定性分析.还利用1981-2011年出版业与城市化的基础数据分别对出版业与城市化发展在未来五年内进行相关预测.预测结果表明,在未来五年内,随着城市化率不断提高、城镇人口数的增加和城市建成区面积的不断扩张,出版业的总印张一直呈增长趋势.结论表明,我国出版业的发展势头在未来五年内会越来越强劲.     

数字出版产业链的整合模式与优化运营

我国在建设数字出版产业产业链时,信息技术平台商、数字终端设备商、传统出版社都按照自身主导模式进行整合运营。虽然这三种整合模式给我国传统出版业转型带来一定程度的进步,但当前我国数字出版存在着版权方面不健全、数字平台间杂乱无章、利益分配不完善等问题,必须针对版权、平台、利益分配优化几个角度去实现运营优化。     

Play to win! Using games in library instruction to enhance student learning

Research has shown that educational games can have positive impacts on student learning and motivation. The success of a game played in a library instruction class depends on the type of game selected, the development of learning outcomes, and the flexibility of the librarian during class. This article explains the benefits to students and librarians of using games, discusses the development and use of a Jeopardy-style game, and provides practical tips for librarians interested in developing and incorporating games into one-time library instruction sessions.     

Gender and research publishing in India: Uniformly high inequality?

Women’s access to academic careers has been historically limited by discrimination and cultural constraints. Comprehensive information about gender inequality within disciplines is needed to understand the problem and target remedial action. India is the fifth largest research producer but has a low international index of gender inequality and so is an important case. This study assesses gender inequalities in Indian journal article publishing in 2017 for 186 research fields. It also seeks overall gender differences in interests across academia by comparing the terms used in 27,710 articles with an Indian male or female first author. The data show that there are at least 1.5 male first authors per female first author in each of 26 broad fields and 2.8 male first authors per female first author overall. Compared to the USA, India has a much lower share of female first authors but smaller variations in gender differences between broad fields. Dentistry, Economics and Maths are all more female in India, but Veterinary is much less female than in the USA. There is a tendency for males to research thing-oriented topics and for females to research helping people and some life science topics. More initiatives to promote gender equality in science are needed to address the overall imbalance, but care should be taken to avoid creating the larger between-field gender differences found in the USA.
