The Impact of Assessing Technology Competencies of Incoming Teacher Education Students

In an effort to establish a baseline of technology competency among our entering education students, our College of Education began implementing the Assessment of Technology Competencies (ATC) in Fall 2003. This performance-based assessment evaluates word-processing, presentation, spreadsheet, graphic/drawing, and Internet skills. Although students are not required to pass the ATC, failure impacts their final grade in an Introduction to Education course. This paper explores the impact this assessment has had on the students' use and development of technology in subsequent courses. Student perceptions of the ATC and its impact were elicited through a self-reported survey administered in a junior-level education course. Results indicate that the ATC has facilitated technology use among the participants. Respondents also revealed that their high school experiences with technology adequately prepared them for passing the ATC, despite the fact that most students are unable to pass the ATC in the first attempt.     

The practical paradox of technology: The influence of communication technology use on employee burnout and engagement

Technological advancements in the workplace frequently have produced contradictory effects by facilitating accessibility and efficiency while increasing interruptions and unpredictability. We combine insights from organizational paradoxes and the job demands–resources model to construct a framework identifying positive and negative mechanisms in the relationship between communication technology use (CTU) and employee well-being, operationalized as work engagement and burnout. In this study of Dutch workers, we demonstrate that CTU increases well-being through positive pathways (accessibility and efficiency) and decreases well-being through negative pathways (interruptions and unpredictability). We highlight the importance of (1) investigating CTU resources and demands simultaneously to grasp the relationship between CTU and employee well-being, and (2) considering CTU's downsides to successfully implement new communication technologies and flexible work designs.

国家科技图书文献中心预订外文科技文献资源分析与评价

采用文献计量学和信息分析等方法对国家科技图书文献中心预订外文科技文献资源进行分析和评价。主要评价指标包括:是否被权威数据库收录、是否世界著名出版机构出版、被国外著名图书馆收藏情况、SCI影响因子值及SCI被引用次数、国内缺藏情况、是否属于收藏薄弱学科的期刊、被专家学者推荐情况。通过整体与分散评价,最终选出基本符合主要指标的期刊和会议文献作为新增文献资源的备选源。表3。参考文献7。     

数字文献信息的保存-未来图书馆事业发展的前提和条件

尽管我们在数字文献资料的生产、收集和存储方面的能力迅速增长,但由于法律和技术等方面的原因,数字文献的长期保存问题远远没有解决,这给负责收藏数字文献的图书情报机构留下深深的隐患。文章介绍了数字保存的现状和存在的问题,论述了数字文献保存的特殊性,提出了数字保存基础设施的建设,可为图书馆事业的发展奠定良好的基础。     

Problems of secondary education in rural Iran: An anthropological view1

Statistics on implementing secondary education in rural Iran indicate that such a process has not been successful. Data gathered by the author during 1974/75 fieldwork support such a conclusion. It is suggested that lack of success of secondary education in rural Iran may be attributed to some cultural and economic factors which vary for men and women. The importance of the modesty code and observation of purdah (seclusio?) may account for the low enrollment of females in secondary education in rural areas. However, the need for agricultural laborers in the villages may account for the low attendance of males. Background to the development of modern education is presented.
