Establishing a Center to Support Faculty Research

This article describes the establishment in fall 2002 of a School of Education Research Center designed to support faculty in increasing productivity and quality in research. Details are provided about center goals, services, staffing, space, resources, and logistics during the first year of operation. In addition, data are shared about faculty usage of the Center, the level of faculty satisfaction with center services in the first year, and initial increases in faculty productivity. The article concludes with plans for continued data collection to monitor the impact of the Center, a discussion of lessons learned at this point in the Center's development, and possibilities for the evolution of the Center. All authors are at the University of Colorado, Denver. Laura Goodwin, Ph.D., University of Colorado at Boulder, is Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Faculty Affairs and continues to serve as a Faculty Research Associate. Elizabeth Kozleski, Ed.D., University of Northern Colorado, is the Associate Dean for Research in the School of Education. Lynn Rhodes, Ed.D., Indiana University, is the Dean of the School of Education. Rodney Muth, Ph.D., Claremont Graduate School, is a professor of Administrative Leadership and Policy Studies in the school and chaired the Research Center Advisory Board. Kim Kennedy White, M.A., University of Oregon, was the original School of Education Research Center Coordinator and was responsible for collecting most of the data included in this study.     

论高校资产公司的组织形式及相关法律问题

高校资产公司是一种特殊类型的公司形态,在组织形式上表现为一人公司。一人公司的独立人格和有限责任制保证了高校资产与高校资产公司资产的分离,阻隔了高校与公司之间的法律风险。但一人公司本身的特点,也决定了高校仍有可能为高校资产公司承担连带责任。因此,在组建和运营高校资产公司时,应当保证高校资产与公司资产的分离以及人员、机构的独立。     

论组织理论在高等教育系统研究中的运用

Perceived Parental Influence on Mathematics Learning: A Comparison Among Students in China and Australia

This paper explores the perceived parental influence (PPI) on mathematics learning among over 700 students across three year levels (Years 5, 7, 9) in China and Australia. It was found that the PPI of students was less strong as year levels increased in both countries. Students in China had stronger perceived parental encouragement and higher perceived parental educational expectation than students in Australia. The PPI of students from different home language backgrounds was also investigated. Students in China demonstrated stronger perceived parental encouragement and parental expectation than English speaking students and other language speaking students in Australia, and they also demonstrated stronger perceived parental expectation than Chinese speaking students in Australia, and similar perceived parental encouragement. Within the three groups of students in Australia, Chinese speaking students and other language speaking students demonstrated similar levels of perceived parental encouragement and expectation, but they both demonstrated a higher level of perceived parental encouragement and expectation than English speaking students. Possible reasons for the similarities and differences between the different groups of students were discussed.     

美国扶助薄弱中小学的主要措施

美国联邦政府近年来颁布了一系列要求提高中小学办学质量和学生成绩的法案,各州都据此制定了本州的各种改革措施,其中在对薄弱学校的扶助方面,各州都建立了比较完善的机制.本文以其中的四个有代表性的州为例,简要介绍和分析其具体做法.

“尊重学生”的管理机制

为了使尊重学生的原则落到实处,需要教育管理制度的保证。为此,学校可以尝试在管理机制上进行改进,包括施行组织结构扁平化,内部顾客链和倒金字塔组织模式,双向闭合评价模式。为使这些管理机制有效发挥作用,学校应该从整个制度建设出发系统考虑。     

Transient Responses of Flexible Non—uniform Spinning Shaft with Nonlinear and Asymmetric Supports

In this paper ,a hybrid approach was developed to investigate the transient responses of a multi-span non-uniform flexble spinning shaft with nonlinear and asymmetric supports.The non-uniform spinning shaft with variable parmeters was modeled as a Bernoulli-Euler beam column with sectional constant cross-section properties by the finite element method.The supporting stiffness behavior of the nonlinear supports was described as a piecewise-linear and asymmetric model.The equations of motion in the matrix form of a multi-span non-uniform spinning shaft with nonlinear and asymmetric supports were formulated using Hamilton‘s principle and the assumed mode method.As an example,a spinning rocket with many variable stiffness supports was numerically simulated by the direct integration method.The transient response and dynamic behavior of this rotate-dynamic system are analyzed.     

农村经济发展中的金融缺失与金融扶持

章以农村金融结构为研究对象，分析了目前农村中广泛存在的资金短缺现象及其形成机理。章认为：其一，国家实行的倾向性的发展战略是造成农村金融资源缺乏，金融扶持水平低下的基要因素；其二，始于20世纪80年代中期以来的地方政府与国家在金融资源上的恶性竞争则是加剧了这一现象的罪魁祸首。因此，要改变这一现象，就需要在国家发展战略的重新定位与寻求现行农村金融体制突破两方面着手。
