Logging in and dropping out: exploring student non‐completion in higher education using electronic footprint analysis

Student retention in higher education might be prioritised by funding authorities and universities but robust measurement of non‐completion is elusive. This investigation explores untapped data sources to enrich understanding of non‐completion. The analysis features the main undergraduate course in a part of a large UK university with retention concerns. Three data sources were explored; Registry, course administration and electronic information systems. Discrepancies emerged in data from them, with students' electronic engagement data revealing withdrawal patterns not evident in the other sources. The departures profile revealed by the information systems data is used to conjecture association between type of departure and stage of departure drawing on time‐based retention models. The analysis also draws on material from focus groups of course administrators and tutors. The results demonstrate a new way of pinpointing and quantifying non‐completion over time, electronic footprint analysis, which provides an additional basis for formulating and monitoring retention strategies. While not explaining why individuals withdraw, they reveal more about when they appear more likely to do so. Using data already captured they constitute feasible means of improving retention.     

正外部性激励视野下的农村金融监管改革探析

我国传统农村金融监管是以负外部性的克服为目标,近年来已经逐渐意识到激励性措施的重要性,并开始重视和探索激励农村金融正外部性的具体实践,农村金融监管思路开始从负外部性的克服向正外部性的激励转变。目前,我国农村金融监管在正外部性激励的具体实践中,整体上激励不足,但个别措施存在外部性"过度激励"问题,且对诸监管目标的宏观协调不够。应以"降低门槛、放松准入"为导向完善市场准入激励,以调适创新产品监管为核心强化市场运行激励,以设置有序的法律退出通道为目标形成市场退出激励,以严格限定政府援助条件为切入点约束政府救助激励,进而实现我国农村金融监管从克服负外部性向激励正外部性的转变。     

利益保护与责任承担：政策性担保公司市场退出机制构建

政策性担保公司市场退出必须妥善处理好善后事宜中的利益保护与责任承担。担保保险制度的安排可以有效保护银行、被担保人等债权人的利益;市场退出担保公司的担保合同只能转让不能终止,再担保公司应成为合同转让的法定受让人,转让合同的内容不得变更;政府、银行、再担保公司都应承担相应的损失。     

负面冲击 正向效应——美国总统特朗普宣布退出《巴黎协定》的影响分析

准确地说,特朗普退出《巴黎协定》是美国联邦政府的决定,并非涵盖全部美国地方政府和企业。由于《巴黎协定》积极而稳妥的开放和进取属性,个别缔约方的单边行为不足以终止甚至改变"巴黎气候进程"。美国退出《巴黎协定》,并不必然表明美国会退出全球气候治理的领导地位,也不必然意味着世界温室气体排放第一大国、经济体量第二大国的中国可以填补美国退出所产生的空缺。国际社会和美国国内所作出的反应表明,美国退出《巴黎协定》产生的负面冲击,继而带来的却是正向效果。推进"巴黎气候进程",中国的引领地位不可或缺,但也不可急于求成,只能有限担当,顺势作为。

Mothers' parenting practices and adolescents' learning from their mistakes in class: The mediating role of adolescent's self-disclosure

This study examined 126 students' (14–16 years of age; 66 females) perceptions of self-disclosure to their mothers with respect to their mistakes in class activities. Specifically, we hypothesized that self-disclosure would predict adolescents' ability to learn from mistakes they made in classroom tasks. In addition, we hypothesized that perceived mothers' love withdrawal would correlate negatively with adolescents' self-disclosure, whereas perceived autonomy support would correlate positively with self-disclosure. Further, we hypothesized that the effect of mothers' parenting practices on adolescents' ability to learn from their mistakes would be mediated by adolescents' self-disclosure of their school experiences. Results, using SEM analyses, showed the importance of mothers' autonomy support for adolescents' self-disclosure and learning from their mistakes in classroom tasks.
