Facilitating flexible learning by replacing classroom time with an online learning environment: A systematic review of blended learning in higher education

Higher education institutions are trying to provide more flexibility and individualization, which is mainly realized through the use of new technologies and implemented in online or blended learning designs. This systematic review aims to investigate the impact of replacing classroom time with an online learning environment. The meta-analysis (k = 21 effect sizes) applied strict inclusion criteria concerning research design, measurement of learning outcomes and implementation of blended learning. The estimated effect size (Hedge's g) was positive, although not significantly different from zero and the confidence interval [-0.13, 0.25], suggesting that overall differences between blended and conventional classroom learning are small, and, at best, very small negative or moderate positive effects are plausible. This means that despite a reduction in classroom time between 30 and 79 per cent, equivalent learning outcomes were found. Consequently, blended learning with reduced classroom time is not systematically more or less effective than conventional classroom learning.     

The impact of digital technology on archival science

Archival science is to be regarded as a system. The properties of that system can be investigated and integrated. The methodology to do so has been tested in two research projects which are presented in this article as examples of the way in which the view of archival science as a system supports the development of new knowledge and as a demonstration of the stability of archival theory. This article presupposes that the archival discipline is also a “science”. Many have argued against the idea on the basis of a common perception that a science is a type of study entirely objective by virtue of the rigorous manner in which it is carried out and the restricted range of topics to which it applies. In fact, the activity of science is based upon a complex framework of assumptions that make it possible for the landscape of the scientific endeavour to be redrawn over time, and, while striving towards objectivity, considers it to be an unattainable ideal.

图书馆生态学分析视角

方兴未艾的生态哲学与图书馆生态学的诞生，为人们研究和探讨图书馆问题提供了有效的、新的方法论和研究视角。本文不是要对图书馆活动和现象作具体分析，而旨在探讨用生态学来透视图书馆活动和现象的范式或图式是什么？研究认为，这些范式或图式应该是：主体与环境，遗传与变异，均衡与失调，共生与竞争。认识和理解这些范畴的含义对深入探讨图书馆生态系统的演化具有重要的理论与实践意义。     

新工科内涵式发展理念的本质溯源

本文结合汕头大学OBE-EIP-CDIO工程教育改革实践对工程教育体系的系统性与科学性进行了再认识,建立了由课程教育体系,去"非工程化"实践教育体系,支撑体系,评价体系,统筹发展体系等构成的融合创新体系模型。基于体系构成与逻辑的分析以及新工科纲领性文件研究,指出新工科内涵式发展本质要求在于教育系统对新需求响应的快速性与定位精准性。结合新工科范式转换理论研究,文中指出工程教育系统的系统性与科学性是新工科专业建设的必要基础和先决条件。这些分析有助于厘清新工科发展理念中的模糊界限与争议,更重要的是为指导新工科具体实施提供了明确的手段和方法。     

跨文化效力与我族中心主义的相关性研究简

本研究采用跨文化效力量表和普遍我族中心主义量表，调查了大学生跨文化效力和我族中心主义的基本情况及相关关系。结果表明：（1）中文版跨文化效力量袁和普遍我族中心主义量表具有较高的可靠性；（2）大学生跨文化效力和我族中心主义均处于中等水平，在跨文化效力的6项因素中，大学生的尊重对方最强，随后依次是认同维护、互动管理、互动放松、行为弹性，而信息技巧最弱；（3）跨文化效力的6项因素间存在较强的相关关系，量表具有较高的内部有效性；（4）跨文化效力和我族中心主义之间呈显著负相关关系；（5）跨文化效力在性别上无显著差异，我族中心主义性别差异显著。
