Exploring transitions into the undergraduate university world using a student-centred framework

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a small-scale qualitative study, which addressed stories of ‘becoming an undergraduate student’. The work took place in one university in the South West of England and involved 4 researchers, 4 co-researchers (undergraduate students) and 12 students from a Faculty of Arts and Humanities. Stories of ‘becoming student’ were perceived and experienced by the researchers as containing complex histories, intertwined with problematic systemic processes, which combined to create challenging, political and diverse realities for students. There was a consensus amongst the researchers that institutional practices did not work to uncover these lived experiences, nor aim to understand them. The study aimed to gain further insight into what becoming a student entails, how ‘student’ is positioned by the academy and to consider how future practices could make transitions into the student world more visible, shared and understood. The work highlights how processes and experiences of becoming an undergraduate student are wide, varied and complex but there are common matters of concern; issues of resources, the importance of student networks and the impact of external perceptions. The authors suggest that if these aspects of the student world were made more visible and understood, Higher Education (H.E) may be better prepared to support positive student transition, success and overall experience.

学生党员再教育“加减乘除”模式的现实路径探析

学生党员再教育是高校学生党建工作的重要内容.目前高校学生党员再教育还存在认识不足、投入不足、流于形式、缺乏有效评估等诸多问题.在建设学习型、服务型、创新性的马克思主义执政党的过程中,认清形势、发现问题、理清思路、对症下药,在学生党员再教育过程中加入“科学发展”的理念、减掉“蜻蜓点水”的作风、乘上“百花齐放”的效应、除去“千人一面”的模式,这种“加减乘除”的立体思维模式全面丰富了学生党员再教育的深刻内涵,为未来高校党建工作的改革发展指明了方向.     

Authoritative schools: A test of a model to resolve the school effectiveness debate

School effectiveness research has fueled debate on the importance of a press for academic excellence versus communal values. Research on parenting styles offers a theoretical framework that may resolve the debate. We hypothesized that dimensions of parenting styles—demandingness (academic press) and responsiveness (communal values)—predict students’ mathematics achievement, engagement, and locus of control. HLM analyses of NELS: 88 data on 19,435 eighth-graders partially supported the hypothesis: Students’ perceptions of school responsiveness predicted their engagement and internal control. In addition, students in responsive schools had smaller differences in mathematics achievement and internal control attributable to SES, suggesting that responsive schools may increase equity. We offer suggestions for further investigation of the model in hope of resolving the debate.

“群众路线”视域下的高校学生评教制度改革

高校学生评教是增强师生互动,促进高校教师提高教学水平的一个重要手段。近年来,学生评教制度改革已经成为了我国高校教育教学改革的重点之一。作为我党克敌制胜的法宝之一的“群众路线”同样适应于高校学生评教制度改革,是改革取得成功的有力保证。文章在“群众路线”的视域下,分别从学生评教目标的确立、学生评教指标体系的制定、学生评教的过程以及学生评教结果的反馈与利用等方面分析了学生评教制度改革中存在问题,论述了评教制度改革与群众路线的重要联系,并指出了如何在评教制度改革中坚持群众路线。
