继续教育教师队伍幸福感调研报告

从继续教育教师队伍的归属感、荣誉感、职业倦怠入手,通过数据调研分析继续教育教师职业幸福感,通过论证教师职业幸福感的影响因素以及继续教育的支配和影响作用,指出提升职业幸福感对教师、学生以及整个继续教育起到直接、整体的指导作用是不容忽视的教育规律。在此基础上,结合继续教育院校自身的特点,讨论建设继续教育教师队伍职业幸福感的相应举措。

救赎与正义之道--解读《肖申克的救赎》的后现代叙事策略

影片《肖申克的救赎》与《圣经》互文指涉,影片的故事情节架构与《旧约·出埃及记》的神话模式相似,而且,影片运用了圣经u型叙事结构来刻画人物命运并实现主题寓意;不仅如此,影片还采用了不可靠叙述及反讽叙事策略,使观众在观看影片的时候需要进行双重解码。后现代派叙事策略的运用增强了影片的艺术性,深化了影片的主题意义。     

儿童视野里的家庭新英雄——丁玲《母亲》的辛亥革命叙事

丁玲的《母亲》以辛亥革命为背景,讲述了一个传统女性在革命的辐射下完成现代转型的故事。这种对现代性转型的言说主要体现在三个方面：首先是男性的缺席,即宣告封建权威力量的名存实亡。其次是女性的站立,通过物质层面与土地割离从而走向城市、生理层面通过“放脚”获得健康的身体、精神层面转变为倾向革命的知识女性,从而完成了一场具有象征意义的破壳之役。最后是母亲角色的现代性建构,从老者本位到儿童本位的现代观念的自觉转变。小说用儿童视角让辛亥革命呈现出了冲淡的、陌生化的、画外音式的审美特征。

What’s in a score? Problematizing interpretations of observation scores

Several recent, large-scale observations of naturally occurring classroom instruction have found consistent patterns in how teaching quality systematically varies across domains of instruction, patterns not found in student survey measures. Teaching quality is highest when examining aspects of classroom management; moderately high when examining aspects of student support; and low when focusing on the quality of the instructional support provided to students. This paper problematizes this interpretation, arguing that observed data patterns could result from dilemmas inherent in measuring teaching quality through observation. In problematizing these conclusions, we highlight the complexity of trying to measure instruction at scale, arguing for the need for caution and consideration of the complexity of measurement when interpreting scores from observation systems.     

Beyond breakthrough research: Epistemic properties of research and their consequences for research funding

The aim of this paper is to initiate a discussion about links between epistemic properties and institutional conditions for research by providing an exploratory analysis of such links featured by projects funded by the European Research Council (ERC). Our analysis identifies epistemic properties of research processes and links them to necessary and favourable conditions for research, and through these to institutional conditions provided by grants. Our findings enable the conclusion that there is research that is important for the progress of a field but is difficult to fund with common project grants. The predominance and standardisation of grant funding, which can be observed about many European countries, appears to reduce the chances of unconventional projects across all disciplines. Funding programmes of the ‘ERC-type’ (featuring large and flexible budgets, long time horizons, and risk-tolerant selection processes) constitute an institutional innovation because they enable such research. However, while the ERC funding and other new funding schemes for exceptional research attempt to cover these requirements, they are unlikely to suffice.     

Knowledge transfer activities in social sciences and humanities: Explaining the interactions of research groups with non-academic agents

The aim of this research is to achieve a better understanding of the processes underlying knowledge transfer (KT) in social sciences and humanities (SSH). The paper addresses: first, the extent of SSH research groups’ engagement in KT and the formal KT activities used to interact with non-academic communities; and second, how the characteristics of research groups may influence engagement in various types of KT. The empirical analysis is at research group level using data derived from a questionnaire of SSH research groups belonging to the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). We find that KT activities are based on relational rather than commercial activities. The most frequent relational activities in which SSH research groups engage are consultancy and contract research. We find also that the characteristics of research groups (e.g. size and multidisciplinarity) and individuals (e.g. academic status and star scientist) are associated with involvement in KT activities and that a deliberate focus on the societal impacts and relevance of the research conducted is strongly related to active engagement of research groups in all the modes of KT considered in this study. From a managerial perspective, our findings suggest that measures promoting a focus on the societal impact of research could enhance research groups’ engagement in KT activities.     

Making time for science

This work analyzes the evolution of time allocation for agricultural and life science faculty in Tier 1 US research universities from 1975 to 2005. Specifically, it explores the trends with respect to time spent on research versus administrative activities, and shows about a 20% decline in the former and doubling of time spent on the latter. Most of the research time decline is accounted for by increased pre and post-grant administrative efforts and other non-research administrative activities rather than changes in teaching activity. Despite the substantial decrease in time available for research, other key research inputs and overall journal article output per faculty have remained relatively stable over that same time period. These findings raise important concerns regarding whether faculty time is being used sub-optimally relative to other ways in which administrative activities might be completed and scholarly activity might be advanced.
