Planning for the Budget-ocalypse: The Evolution of a Serials/ER Cancellation Methodology

The University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries are funded almost entirely by undergraduate student use fees. As the undergraduate enrollment has plateaued in recent years, the libraries have not been able to keep up with rising costs, resulting in a series of cuts to the materials budget totaling around $3.25 million. While some of these cuts took the form of reductions in firm orders and dissolution of approval plans, for the past three years the bulk has come from cancellations of serials and electronic resources. With each year’s cuts, the UNT Collection Development department has been forced to modify and refine their deselection process. This article will show the development of UNT’s strategy for determining cancellations using a variety of methods (overlap analysis, usage statistics, faculty input) and tools (EBSCO Usage Consolidation, Serials Solutions 360).     

统计学专业教学现状与改革的思考

统计学是是一门多学科相交叉的边缘学科,具有很强的应用性。本文通过对美国一流统计学专业教学特点与特色的描述,分析了国内统计学教学中存在的主要问题,最后从教学理念转变、课程计划更新、教材资料优选、应用能力培养四个方面对该专业的教学改革提出了自己的观点。     

大学生音乐素质教学影响因素的实证研究——以非音乐专业大学生钢琴教学为例

本研究以非专业大学生初学者钢琴教学为例,在回顾相关研究的基础上,利用观察法,调查法获得学生学习数据,经过分析发现身体机能、智力、音乐背景、学习动机、学习态度和情绪因素是影响对键盘的熟练程度、读谱和音乐诠释教学的主要因素,接着利用教育学和心理学的原理分析结果。最后,根据实证的结论对非专业大学生钢琴教学实践提出了建议。     

实现地方本科院校向应用技术型大学的转型:必然趋势、问题及实践路径

地方本科院校向应用技术型大学转型是遵循分类办学的规律、解决地方本科院校面临的问题和挑战、缓解人才市场的结构性矛盾、促进地方经济社会发展的必然要求。实现地方本科院校向应用技术型大学转型面临诸多内外部问题。实现地方本科院校向应用技术型大学转型的切入点是明确内涵与特征,厘定思路,趁势而为向;关键在于清除体制障碍,突破瓶颈制约,创新管理运行机制;保障是加强专业和课程建设,深化教学改革;助推器是加强与行业企业合作。着力解决若干基本问题,才能在高等学校分类定位中突破障碍、顺利转型并持续发展。     

关于独立学院统计学课程教学的几点思考

独立学院作为一种新兴的办学模式,主要以应用型人才为培养方向。统计学作为一门应用性极强的课程,在独立学院中广泛地开展。作者结合自身教学实践体会,对独立学院非统计专业的统计学课程教学中存在的问题,从教师队伍、教学过程、考核环节等方面进行分析,提出几点看法,以期促进独立学院统计学课程教学的改进和发展。     

心理统计学教学改革的思考与实践

文章结合心理统计学教学存在的问题和发展趋势,尝试进行心理统计学课程的教学改革探讨,具体包括教学内容、教学方法和评价方法3个方面：教学内容改革主要体现为从应用的角度对教学内容进行取舍;教学方法改革主要涉及在教学形式方面的探索;评价方法改革简述了在形成性评价方面的尝试。结果表明,教改在一定程度上改善了之前教学中存在的问题,提高了学生的相关能力,也促进了教师的发展。     

Unders and Overs: Using a Dice Game to Illustrate Basic Probability Concepts

Online homework impact in undergraduate mathematics and business statistics courses

This evaluation examines the impact on student success rates related to changes in instructional programmes in undergraduate mathematics and statistics courses. Success for students taking courses with a computer-based homework component was compared with success of students who took the course in prior semesters without the computer-based component. Graphical and analytical tools are used to compare results. Results come from multiple semesters of each type of homework application, for both pre-calculus algebra and business statistics courses. Students whose performance is utilised in this study are undergraduate students taking introductory level college mathematics or business statistics courses, with mostly no prior instruction at this level. Comparing the success of the intervention group with the success of the baseline control group, findings support that the students using the computer-based homework instruction are just as successful as those using the traditional method of homework instruction. Utilising the online homework applications, provide several important advantages in today’s universities, including the reduced time for faculty grading, consistency of graded assignments across all sections of a course and most importantly, immediate feedback for students.
