Understanding value in the student experience through student–staff partnerships

ABSTRACT

Questions such as ‘what is value in the student experience?’ and ‘how do we measure or assess value in higher education?’ remain an under-researched area. However, in the context of marketisation and competitive forces in higher education, there is a need to unpack what is value in the student experience. In this article, a conceptualisation of value that can be applied in higher education (known as value-in-use) is introduced and applied to a specific and increasingly important aspect of the student experience – student–staff partnerships. Qualitative survey data (n?=?97) and interviews (n?=?35) from ten cases of various manifestations of student–staff partnerships in the Australasian context is presented and assessed in relation to value. The findings highlight that student–staff partnerships may enhance value in the student experience and that value-in-use may be an appropriate lens through which to continue to explore how value is created and measured in the student experience.

In this session, the presenters shared the results of a study that examined how a sample of academic e-books are represented across different platforms. Topics of analysis included: the inclusion of various metadata, the visual presentation of e-book content, and variations in search results. This presentation also focused on the similarities and differences between e-book representation and what impact these various representations might have on users of academic e-books.     

海子诗歌主题意象辨

在海子的诗歌中,“大地”、“麦地”、“麦子”、“村庄”、“太阳”、“远方”、“河流”等一系列意象豁人耳目,形成一个自足的意象系统。这个意象系统有着相对稳定的内涵,可以归纳为三个系列,即:家园系列、远方系列、太阳系列。这三个系列构成了诗人一个完整意义上的生命象征,成为生命的蕴涵及其承载。

中国近代三次禁烟运动之比较

近代中国鸦片烟毒泛滥成灾，因此，中国人民曾多次掀起全国性的禁烟禁毒运动。大规模的禁烟运动有三次，即林则徐禁烟运动、清末明初禁烟运动和国民政府“二年禁毒、六年禁烟”运动。这些运动发生的国内处背景、禁烟措施、效果以及民众的表现，都有不同。虽然，这些运动终未能彻底解决烟毒问题，但经验教训却可供后世借鉴。     

中日“樱花”意象比较研究

将樱花纳入文学与文化的视野加以考察分析，发现中日两国文学作品中的“樱花”意象有各自相对独立的发展轨迹：中国的“樱花”意象是樱桃文学大力发展下的产物；而日本的“樱花”意象则有其自身发展的源头，虽然在演化过程中受到中国文化的影响，但很快又走出了自己的道路，形成自己的民族特色。中日两国诗人对樱桃、樱树和樱花、樱桃花的认识与分类都是模糊的。而两国诗人对此意象的不同处理，又体现了不同的民族审美。

Do cognitive training strategies improve motor and positive psychological skills development in soccer players? Insights from a systematic review

ABSTRACT

Soccer players are required to have well-developed physical, technical and cognitive abilities. The present systematic review, adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, examined the effects of cognitive training strategies on motor and positive psychological skills development in soccer performance and identified the potential moderators of the “cognitive training–soccer performance” relationship. Thirteen databases were systematically searched using keywords related to psychological or cognitive training in soccer players. The review is based on 18 studies, employing 584 soccer players aged 7–39 years. Cognitive strategies, particularly imagery, appear to improve sports performance in soccer players. Regarding imagery, the combination of two different types of cognitive imagery training (i.e., cognitive general and cognitive specific) has a positive influence on soccer performance during training, whereas motivational imagery (i.e., motivational general-arousal, motivational general-mastery and motivational specific) enhance competition performance. Younger soccer players employ cognitive general and cognitive specific imagery techniques to a greater extent than older soccer players. Combined cognitive training strategies were more beneficial than a single cognitive strategy relative to motor skills enhancement in elite (particularly midfielders) and amateur (i.e., when practising complex and specific soccer skills in precompetitive period) soccer players. In conclusion, it appears that there are differences in cognitive/psychological training interventions, and their efficacy, according to whether they are directed towards training or competition, and the age, standard and playing position of the players.
