图书馆咨询工作向"麦肯锡"学什么?--团队管理与客户管理

图书馆咨询工作虽然开展了很多年，但影响不大、成果不明显，主要原因是图书馆咨询队伍本身的管理与咨询用户(客户)的管理没有到位，本从咨询员的团队管理和客户管理二方面作了一些论述。     

Analysis of Statistical Question Classification for Fact-Based Questions

Question classification systems play an important role in question answering systems and can be used in a wide range of other domains. The goal of question classification is to accurately assign labels to questions based on expected answer type. Most approaches in the past have relied on matching questions against hand-crafted rules. However, rules require laborious effort to create and often suffer from being too specific. Statistical question classification methods overcome these issues by employing machine learning techniques. We empirically show that a statistical approach is robust and achieves good performance on three diverse data sets with little or no hand tuning. Furthermore, we examine the role different syntactic and semantic features have on performance. We find that semantic features tend to increase performance more than purely syntactic features. Finally, we analyze common causes of misclassification error and provide insight into ways they may be overcome.     

数学化对学生学习数学概念的影响——以“小数”概念学习为例

"数学化"这一概念最初是由荷兰数学家和数学教育家弗赖登塔尔(H.Freudenthal,1905—1990)提出的。"数学化"既是数学教学的过程,也是数学教学的结果。以"小数"概念学习为例,将数学化的过程呈现在数学概念的教学中,第一次学习是水平数学化,即由现实问题到数学问题的学习;第二次学习是垂直数学化,即由具体问题到抽象概念的学习。在这两次教学实践过程中,生活经验、模型支撑、多种表征都对学生"小数"概念数学化有一定的帮助。     

谁来评价高中综合素质?——基于利益相关者的分析

从利益相关者的视角来看,综合素质评价结果一旦与学生、教师和高中学校的利益高度相关,那么由这些利益高度相关的主体来进行评价时,由于受到"理性经济人"自利性的制约,利益高相关主体极有可能因自身利益的最大化并最终导致评价结果的失真。评价结果的客观性取决于"评价什么",更取决于"谁来评价",甚至可以说,"谁来评价"会直接影响着"评价什么"。而就综合素质评价的实施来看,学生更多的是综合素质评价材料的记录主体,高中学校(包括行政管理人员和教师等)更多的是综合素质评价材料真实性的监督主体,而高校才是最终、最佳的综合素质评价主体。

针对慕课的快速发展及国内外图书馆界对慕课的关注及推广现状,探讨图书馆推广与服务慕课课程的互动对策。图书馆在面向院系教学服务的过程中,可将慕课推广与图书馆推广有机结合,依托图书馆空间与服务,推广慕课理念和课程,同时借助宣传慕课理念和课程,推广图书馆资源和服务。并从慕课资源的整合与导航,学科服务,资源荐购服务,图书馆新媒体宣传,图书馆专题推广活动五个途径探讨了互动推广的途径。     

Does Physical Activity Enhance Learning Performance?: Learning Effectiveness of Game-based Experiential Learning for University Library Instruction

This paper reports research results of the proposed experiential learning using a game-based educational material. The educational material was an application running on a mobile device and was supported for learners to study university library instruction. During the experiential learning, the learners answered several quizzes provided from the educational material. The quizzes were including experiential contents such as actually to find an academic journal or to reserve a learning room. In order to evaluate learning effectiveness of the experiential learning, this research made a comparative experiment. The experimental group used the educational material and the control group used another educational material of e-learning (non-experiential) but the contents was almost same as the contents of the experiential learning. The comparative experiment took several evaluation elements such as pre-/post-test scores, delayed-test scores and learning motivation scores based on IMMS of ARCS model. The experimental results revealed that experiential learning was superior for the several elements of these metrics. This research, furthermore, analyzed learner's operation data to the educational material and learner's behavior data during the learning in the experimental group. The analyzing results showed three types of the learning behaviors and indicated that an instructor needs to adopt suitable instructional design to each type to bring superior learning effectiveness.     

Tools and Principles for Effective Online Library Instruction: Andragogy and Undergraduates

The library literature evaluating the efficacy of online tutorial methods and delivery tools is a valuable resource for librarians looking for information to inform their choices for developing asynchronous online instruction. This literature, however, examines a wide variety of delivery tools, methods, and student populations. As a result, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions about any one tutorial tool or method. This article compares selected research and concludes that the consensus in the literature suggests that applying adult learning principles to library tutorials has a larger impact on effective online instruction than the individual tool.     

Technological research in the EU is less efficient than the world average. EU research policy risks Europeans’ future

We have studied the efficiency of research in the EU by a percentile-based citation approach that analyzes the distribution of country papers among the world papers. Going up in the citation scale, the frequency of papers from efficient countries increases while the frequency from inefficient countries decreases. In the percentile-based approach, this trend, which is uniform at any citation level, is measured by the e_p index that equals the P_{top 1%}/P_{top 10%} ratio. By using the e_p index we demonstrate that EU research on fast-evolving technological topics is less efficient than the world average and that the EU is far from being able to compete with the most advanced countries. The e_p index also shows that the USA is well ahead of the EU in both fast- and slow-evolving technologies, which suggests that the advantage of the USA over the EU in innovation is due to low research efficiency in the EU. In accord with some previous studies, our results show that the European Commission’s ongoing claims about the excellence of EU research are based on a wrong diagnosis. The EU must focus its research policy on the improvement of its inefficient research. Otherwise, the future of Europeans is at risk.
