Use of Electronic Information Resources Among Research Scholars in the Islamia University of Bahawalpur,Pakistan

This study examined the use of electronic resources among academic scholars of The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB), Punjab, Pakistan. A quantitative survey was found most convenient and useful for this study. The total population of the study was 169 research students in IUB. The response rate was 79% and 133 utilizable responses were coded and analyzed by using SPSS software. Results of the study showed that most of the researchers (61%) used electronic resources daily for many purposes and reasons. Most of them (57%) were “satisfied” with the usage of electronic resources. Learning, education, and research were the main purposes, and easy use and easy access to documents were the major reasons of using these resources. Lack of internet connection is the major problem faced by the respondents.     

Cyberbullying: through the eyes of children and young people

The topic of cyberbullying is raising international debate and concern. Through the development and dissemination of a questionnaire 12 student researchers were supported in surveying 325 UK students across Years 7, 8 and 9 to gain further knowledge of this area, in relation to children and young people. Results were analysed and comparisons made between gender and age, allowing conclusions to be drawn about the area of cyberbullying and its many elements. Conclusions acknowledge that bullying has entered a “digital era” and professionals and adults require the knowledge and skills to help young people to further understand the issues involved and to protect themselves in this area.     

2000年以来我国高等教育学学科研究的特点——基于对中国期刊全文数据库高等教育学学科研究论文的分析

2000年以来我国高等教育学学科研究的研究主题、研究机构与出版平台以及研究人员有着较为鲜明的特征：研究主题上理论体系、学科建设和学科属性受持久关注;厦门大学、华中科技大学和南京师范大学是推动学科研究的主要力量,以《江苏高教》、《高等教育研究》为代表的几个教育类期刊是学科研究成果的主要出版平台;从事学科研究的作者群体中以高职称人员和博士生为主,学科规训制度在推进学科研究中发挥了重要作用。在基本理论研究上力争突破、重视有组织研究机制创新并发挥主要出版平台的作用将是推进我国高等教育学学科研究未来发展的方向和举措。     

Reference Books for Teachers

In basic science research, student researchers are often challenged with not only the technical portion of the research design but also the team dynamic. Understanding how a student prefers to learn can provide an advantage for mentors to better meet these challenges. In this article, the authors describe the experience of working with student researchers with different preferred learning styles and how knowing this information contributed to creating a positive learning environment resulting in a winning combination for the research team.     

Power,participation and decision making in the primary classroom: children as action researchers

This article discusses a project focused on children researching their role in decision making in their classrooms and schools, with a view to increasing their involvement. The action research project was carried out by children, their class teachers and university researchers in six Norfolk primary schools from 2004 to 2006. As the project aimed to introduce more participatory approaches to decision making in classrooms, this necessarily had implications for the ways in which adults worked with children as action researchers. The article explores the constraints encountered by both children and teachers in sharing decisions and in carrying out action research, and identifies two dimensions: the teachers’ thinking and action, as well as children’s research and decision making. The teachers struggled with their need to mediate the project aims in the context of the changing nature of their professional role in the current target‐driven school culture.     

高校博士后管理工作信息不对称现象分析及对策

我国高校博士后工作经过多年的发展,取得了辉煌的成绩.但是,随着市场经济的发展和信息时代的到来,高校博士后管理工作中对博士后的招收选择、博士后工作考棱评估、经费管理、科技成果转化等方面存在着信息不对称现象.本文提出了相应的对策建议,为进一步完善高校博士后管理工作提供了参考.     

激励机制视角下虚拟学术社区科研人员合作的演化博弈研究

[目的/意义] 随着互联网技术的快速发展,虚拟学术社区开始成为知识交流的重要平台,建设激发社区科研人员参与热情、提高科研合作效率、维持科研团体活力的激励机制变得非常重要。[方法/过程] 本文运用演化博弈模型对虚拟学术社区中科研人员合作行为进行分析,分别描述了无激励机制和有激励机制的演化博弈关系和过程,探讨了影响虚拟学术社区科研人员合作行为的因素。[结果/结论] 研究表明：虚拟学术社区博弈双方在无激励机制的环境下,演化稳定策略是（不合作,不合作）,在有激励机制的环境下,演化稳定策略是（合作,合作）或（不合作,不合作）,由此得出完善虚拟学术社区激励机制有助于科研人员合作行为的产生,根据科研人员合作影响因素的不同结果,给出促进虚拟学术社区激励机制建设的策略。     

基于替代计量学的高校科研人员学术影响力综合评价研究

高校科研人员学术影响力综合评价在推动国家、高校和高校科研人员的整体综合全面发展中起着非常重要的作用。在科学2.0时代下,有必要将传统计量指标和替代计量指标结合起来实现更为全面有效的评价应用。鉴于此,本文基于ResearchGate网站平台抓取以北京工业大学科研人员为例的高校科研人员在网络媒体上呈现的影响力指标数据,并结合传统的引文计量指标数据,在数据分析中采用定性和定量相结合的方法,采用主成分分析和天际线的方法构建指标体系和评价模型,通过指标赋权作出综合评价。为科研人员学术影响力综合评价提供新视角,提出新思路,对具体评价结果进行解析,为完善高校教师科研评价体制的相应对策做出了重要贡献。     

职务科技成果转化收益分配比例与科研人员激励——基于委托-代理理论视角

在我国全面深化科技体制改革背景下,职务科技成果转化收益分配比例下限不断提高,出现了省（市）间的政策竞争。本文基于委托-代理理论视角,构建了职务科技成果转化收益分配比例与科研人员激励模型。通过模型分析发现：职务科技成果转化收益分配比例与科研人员激励力度并非简单的正相关关系;职务科技成果转化收益分配比例受到显性知识与隐性知识比重衡量的科技成果转化难易程度的影响,与科研人员努力成本和风险规避意愿等个人特征有关,与科技人才评价体系完善程度等影响信息不对称水平的因素有关。并利用MATLAB对以上结果进行了数据仿真,根据以上结论提出具体的政策建议。     

美国大学的教育学院能否培养出适应新的变革的教育理论研究者

近20多年以来,由于美国从工业经济转型为知识经济,美国民众要求美国学校从注重教育过程转向注重教育结果.要实施这一革命性变革,必然要对一系列问题有明确的答案:即从事教育研究和培养理论研究者的教育学院是否为应对这一新的变革作好了准备?美国大学的教育学院能否培养出适应新的变革的教育理论研究者?最近美国前哥伦比亚大学师范学院院长、著名教育学者阿瑟·莱文(Arthur Levine)博士主持的一个有关"教育学院研究项目",经长达4年的研究,对美国大学中的教育学院的研究工作和培养现状进行了广泛和深入的调研.最后的结论是美国绝大多数教育学院的现状是难以培养出适应上述变革的教育理论研究者.相似的问题是:中国大学的教育学院能否培养出适应新的变革的教育理论研究者?是否有必要对中国大学教育学院(所、系)培养教育研究者的现状和培养模式也进行一次类似于美国的实证研究?
