The Influence of technologies on financing options

Abstract

International higher education is a major source of revenue in many developed countries. Historically the top destination countries for international students have included USA, UK, France and Australia. The key countries where most international students are recruited from include China, India and other parts of Asia. The extant literature has mostly examined the factors influencing international students to study in Western countries. A new trend is now emerging with an accelerating growth of international students in countries such as China and other parts of Asia. This mixed-methods study addresses the gap in the literature by exploring the factors that influence international students’ choice to study undergraduate or postgraduate courses in China. The study found that China is becoming an important destination choice for international students due to the distinctiveness of the Chinese language, the rise of its universities in global rankings and the country’s economic growth.     

I'll do it Tomorrow: The Logic of Procrastination

Abstract

College students seem especially adept at procrastination. Large percents report that it causes lower quality papers and projects, lower exam scores and, to a lesser extent, late or missing assignments. Using survey data collected from a broad cross-section of students and faculty we argue that procrastination can be modeled as a logical, albeit sometimes inefficient, behavior within a rational choice framework. By looking at differences in perceived costs and benefits across individuals and across circumstances we can predict who procrastinates, under what conditions they procrastinate, and how it might effectively be countered.     

‘Flexibility’, Community and Making Parents Responsible

This article draws on Foucault's concept of governmentality to explore how recent political moves to legalise ‘flexibility’ mobilises education authorities to make ‘community’ a technical means of achieving the political objective of schooling the child. I argue that ‘flexibility’ in this sense is a neo‐liberal strategy that shifts relations between the governed and the State. In this way, it transforms the idea of schooling from a State run institution for the purpose of ‘community building’ to a community run institution for the purpose of making parents governable by both instrumentalising and institutionalising individualism through the force of community membership. Rather than a form of liberation from bureaucratic rule, the paper exposes how ‘flexibility’ acts as a normalising strategy that works with difference to entangle parents as community members in the process of schooling the child through the moral obligation of the contract.     

Schooling Quasi-Markets: Reconciling Economic and Sociological Analyses

We provide an economic assessment of the operation of schooling quasi-markets, re-interpreting the findings of the mainly sociologically-based empirical research. We find that economic analysis is complementary to that of sociology, providing further explanations for the failure of greater competition to increase the diversity of provision and challenge traditional school hierarchies.     

CDIO导入的典型形态研究

CDIO导入过程的本质,是深层次的组织结构变革。根据实际情况,CDIO的导入模式可以有多种选择,“模式的不同”体现的是“专业学科发展”和“满足社会需求”这两种教学诉求之间的平衡.CDIO教学改革的成功关键,在于根据自身实际选择恰当模式,并坚持在“目标、结构、资源和行动”等层面的“一致性”。     

我国产学研合作动力机制研究

认为动力机制在很大程度上影响产学研合作的效果,通过分析影响企业、高等院校和科研院所合作的动力因素和阻力因素,提出了一种产学研合作的帆船动力机制模型。运用该模型深入研究了我国产学研合作的动力机制,并指出产学研合作应充分认识"合力"的重要性,通过"聚力"、"借力"和"避力"来提升产学研合作效果的政策性结论。

对“宪法司法第一案”的思考

齐玉苓案倍受关注表明了社会公众对建立中国宪法诉讼制度的期待，宪法诉讼制度的建立对于中国宪政制度的发展具有重要意义。齐玉苓案对中国法治建设的意义不可否认，但称其为中国“宪法司法化第一案”值得商榷。对最高人民法院有关的司法解释进行分析，我国实际上并没有宪法适用的法律障碍。但以类似的司法解释为依据建立中国的宪法诉讼制度并不可取，我国应该选择以人大立法为依据的专门机关违宪审查模式，从而在此基础上建立符合国情的宪法诉讼制度。

图书馆信息营销与信息资源开发研究

图书馆信息营销具有二重性。它与图书馆信息开发是手段与目的的关系;它不仅是资源营销,还是生产力和生产关系的营销。信息营销会增强图书馆信息资源开发的内在动力,改变其开发理念,提高其开发效率。可以以信息营销为切入点创新信息资源开发理论,研究其开发基本策略。参考文献8。
