科学管理与院校研究

院校研究代表了管理决策的科学部分,是提高高校科学管理水平的一个有效途径。作为一种特定的研究范式和工作模式,系统收集数据,科学分析数据,为学校管理提供决策支持,是院校研究的三个基本特征。在我国发展院校研究,必须树立科学发展观,在高校中大力倡导科学管理;依靠国家和社会的力量,建立具有统一统计口径的数据库,实现数据资源共享;加快院校研究人员的培养,促使大多数高教研究所(室)转变功能,将院校研究作为主要的工作任务。     

试析美国研究型大学基层学术组织模式

美国研究型大学基层学术组织是以学科为基础的独立的、自主的学术组织。其组织规模主要根据教学科研任务的需要来决定。其内部管理以教授统治为主,采取的是少数服从多数的决策机制。总结和归纳美国研究型大学基层学术组织的现状与改革动向,对于探讨我国研究型大学未来的改革重点与方向具有重要的借鉴意义。     

高等教育多学科研究之反思——从学科性视角到方法论视角的转向

我国的高等教育研究具有鲜明的学科指向性,多学科研究方法引入高等教育研究也未改变其学科指向性。近30年的高等教育研究表明,高等教育学学科建设只是在某种程度上完成了学科的外部建制,内部建制还任重道远。其原因主要在于多学科研究的引入还停留在学科性视角层面,方法论视角在高等教育多学科研究中还未受到足够重视。欲达臻学科建设之目的,既要重视多学科研究的学科性视角,更要重视立足高等教育实践,从方法论视角开展高等教育多学科研究,最终实现从学科性视角到方法论视角的转向。     

Translating Mathematical Markup for Electronic Journals

Abstract

While there is now an international standard for mathematical markup, no systems produce formatted documents from the complete standard. This report describes how mathematical markup is translated at OCLC.     

90后大学生思想意识现状调查与分析

为了更好地掌握90后大学生思想意识教育的现状,有针对性地对其进行教育,近期笔者以遵义医药高等专科学校学生为对象,进行了一次关于90后大学生思想意识教育的调查和分析。调查显示,90后大学生思想意识状况总体上是好的,但也存在一些问题需要不断的改进,以求大学生思想教育的不断完善和良性循环。     

European Journal of Special Needs Education Vol. 18, No. 3, October 2003 erratum

The current paper reports on the outcome of an ongoing action research project at a school for higher-functioning students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Sweden. The overall aim of the study was to develop and evaluate a questionnaire that captures social and individual aspects of classroom learning suitable for use with students with ASD. Interview data is presented on the perceived utility of the questionnaire for understanding and planning classroom instruction for the children with ASD through the eyes of the students’ teachers and their parents, as assessed during an Individual Education Plan meeting. Further, teacher ratings obtained by means of the instrument were found to differentiate a group of students with ASD (n = 10) from a group of typically developing children matched with regard to grade year, word reading ability and receptive vocabulary (n = 10). Implications and future directions are discussed, as are limitations of this pilot study.     

中国高等教育分类研究现状述评

中国高等教育分类研究起步于20世纪90年代中期，2003年以来逐步形成了研究热潮，但尚处于以介绍和借鉴国外高校分类法及制度为主的起步阶段。研究对象上侧重于高校分类，研究内容集中于文献研究和案例研究，研究成果集中于对现有分类法及分类政策的介绍、评述、反思和批判。今后一段时期，我国一方面要将高等教育分类研究的视野从高校层面提升到高等教育层面，加强专题研究和理论研究，另一方面要加强原创性研究和应用研究，集中力量研究中国高等教育分类（含高校）的依据、标准、指标及配套的制度和政策框架，并进行分类的应用性试验和试点。     

New Structures,New Strategies: CSIRO’s Changing Role in Australian Innovation

Abstract

CSIRO’s role in Australian innovation has evolved over the years in response to changes in the external environment and within Australia’s national innovation system. The process of organisational change has been characterised by a series of restructurings—in 1978, 1988, 1996 and 2001—and accompanying shifts in the organisation’s strategic directions. In this paper we look at the process of organisational change in an historical context, looking at the evolving external environment, the legislative and management background, and the shifts in the organisation’s strategic directions. The change process is interpreted from a punctuated equilibrium perspective. We propose that discontinuous, rather than continuous change, is the way that a complex and diversified organisation like CSIRO adjusts to a changing external environment and, moreover, that independent public reviews have an important role in this process. In the light of major changes in the Australian and scientific landscapes over the past two decades we suggest it is time to look again at CSIRO’s role and the sustainability of its internal management arrangements.

Student Management of Web-Based Hypermedia Resources During Open-Ended Problem Solving

Abstract

Twelve middle school students' use of computer tools to manage and manipulate Internet-based hypermedia resources was investigated. Tools were proposed to support higher order thinking about hypermedia resources to help students find, frame, and resolve open-ended science problems. Tools alone were insufficient to help students manage hypermedia information for solving open-ended problems. Students more frequently applied lower order tool functions (e.g., information collection) than higher order tool functions (e.g., reasoning). Students typically resolved problems with original solutions, but tools were used infrequently to develop evidence-based arguments justifying new ideas. Computer tools alone may be insufficient to help students manage extensive hypermedia resources. Together with additional support structures, however, tool potential may be realized.
