Mentoring of Women Faculty: The Role of Organizational Politics and Culture

This article reports on a key finding of a phenomenological study on the mentoring experiences of women faculty. The study revealed the political climate of the organization as an essential attribute of this experience. Women faculty identified organizational culture and gender issues that affected the mentoring they received. This study suggests the need for human resource and organization development initiatives to facilitate the provision of academic mentoring for women faculty—individually, departmentally, and culturally—as a means to foster transformation and change in academic institutions.Sharon K.

主体性教育改革的内在人文导向

尽管素质教育改革提出了多年,但是教育者总是难以摆脱对传统教育的文本化、应试化和封闭性等方式的缠绵情结。传统教育的诸多不良方式根源于科学与人文的分野,科学理性盲目地控制和操纵了人文理性,造成人文取向错误。针对这些现象,主体性教育改革所包括的三种基本方式,即创新教育、素养教育、完人教育,都有其内在的人文导向。

教育科学概念辨析——关于教育目的和教育目标、教育目的和培养目标两组概念

教育科学学科领域概念混淆的现象普遍存在。我国现代教育理论本为移植西方之行为。中文和西文之间寻找对应词也是一件困难的事情。所以我国教育学学科领域概念混乱现象更值得关注。本文旨在从中文语言学的角度追根溯源,探索教育目的和教育目标、教育目的和培养目标两组概念的区别,以供教育理论研究者参考。     

An Exploration of the Relationship Among Teacher Efficacy,Collective Teacher Efficacy,and Goal Consensus

This study explored the relationships among individual teacher efficacy, collective teacher efficacy, and goal consensus/vision. Participants included 113 teachers of a high school located in the southwestern USA. During a teacher inservice meeting, teachers completed three surveys that measured the variables under study. Correlational and regression analyses were performed to examine the relationships among individual teacher efficacy, collective teacher efficacy, and goal consensus/vision. Collective teacher efficacy was found to be correlated with all of the other variables examined, but was most highly correlated with goal consensus/vision. Individual teacher efficacy, while related to collective teacher efficacy, was not found to be related to goal consensus/vision. Findings from this study suggest that, because individual teacher efficacy, collective teacher efficacy and goal consensus/vision are related, changing one could have an impact on the others.
