Technology Transfer from Publicly Funded Research for Improved Natural Resource Management: Analysis and Australian Examples

Considerable public funding is provided for research and development intended to improve the management and use of shared natural resources, such as water. In Australia, the Land and Water Research and Development Corporation (LWRRDC) and Environment Australia are significant providers of such funds. These providers tend to judge the value of R&D projects supported by them on the basis of whether or not significant technology transfer and adoption takes place. Researchers involved in these projects are expected to be the prime movers of such transfer. However, it seems that research funders have been guided by over-simplified models of processes of technology transfer and by false analogies with the transfer of industrial technology. There has been a failure to recognise that much of the new technology developed to improve the management of shared resources, such as water, affects the supply of social or collective commodities, a factor which materially alters the technology transfer process. Here, processes of transferring publicly funded intellectual knowledge are discussed and modelled, dynamic patterns of adoption of new technology are considered along with factors influencing adoption rates and barriers to adoption, particularly when the supply of social or collective commodities such as water, are involved. Some points from the analysis are illustrated by observations from a sample of LWRRDC-supported research projects.     

Pattern of classroom activities during students’ use of computers: Relations between instructional strategies and computer applications

The purpose of this study was to identify instructional strategies used by teachers to support technology integration. In addition, relations between types of computer applications and teachers' classroom practices were examined. Data were direct observation results from 143 integration lessons implemented in schools receiving federal technology grants. Results reflect use of student-centered practices such as teacher as a facilitator, project-based learning, and independent inquiry. Furthermore, this study revealed that classroom practices tend to be more student-centered when students use the computer as a learning tool such as the Internet, word processing, and presentation software. Conversely, drill and practice software showed a dissimilar pattern.

科技金融政策与科技型中小企业创新绩效的耦合协调研究——以河北省为例

基于2013—2016年河北省各级政府及相关部门制定实施的112项科技金融政策的量化分析,利用灰色关联度耦合计量模型对科技金融政策与科技型中小企业创新绩效的耦合协调程度进行实证检验。研究得出河北省科技金融政策与科技型中小企业创新发展尚处于轻度协调耦合阶段,两者尚未形成良性互动、协调发展,政策影响效率整体偏低,各类政策尚未形成协调合力,对于科技型中小企业创新扶持力度不足,并提出从科技金融政策的均衡协调和协同创新两方面提升科技金融政策的针对性、精准性和实效性。

兰州市城区小学信息技术利用效能的影响因素研究

对兰州市城区信息基础设施条件较为完备的两所小学进行个案调查研究,从课堂教学、学生学习和教师专业发展等三个方面考察个案学校利用信息技术的效能,发现影响个案学校信息技术效能实现的因素多而复杂,既有宏观层面的社会因素,也有中观层面（学校）和微观层面（教师与学生）的因素。其中,教师因素是影响学校信息技术利用的最关键因素。上述种种因素是相互联系和相互影响的,如果从动态发展的角度来看,在这些因素的相互影响之中,哪些因素占有主要影响地位,哪些居于次要地位,是一个变化的过程。
