A Safe,Helpful, and Ubiquitous Place That Requires Further Study

In this article, Bradley Wade Bishop sets forth the unspoken premise that public libraries that offer desired services to their constituents are going to succeed. This article has many specific examples of emergency and continuing services that small public libraries provide. It also suggests the need for extensive research on successful libraries which illustrate all sorts of rules about how to meet the future successfully.     

中国小学配套性财政资助的最优设计与应用

在配套性财政资助的公式设计中,如何测算配套率是一个十分关键的技术性问题。本文基于Feldstein(1975)所提出的方法,并利用相关县级数据,就中国小学配套性财政资助中的最优配套率进行了测算。本文发现为实现中西部地区小学教育完全的财富中立,高层级政府不仅要为不同的县级地方设定不同水平的配套率,而且还要以一个较高的配套率平均水平,对数量众多的县级地方施以配套性教育财政资助。面对巨大的资助投入需要,高层级政府一方面应继续加强对地方义务教育的财政资助力度,另一方面还应考虑对当前义务教育财政资助体系实施变革,并在未来配套性义务教育财政资助的规划与设计中采取一些有针对性的策略。

1928-1937年安徽省学生奖贷金政策研究

奖贷金政策是教育政策的重要组成部分,安徽省在结束北洋军阀的混乱的统治后,在财政困难的情况下实施奖贷金政策,包括自费国外留学生奖学金政策、国内皖籍大学生奖学金政策、省立中等学校清寒优秀学生奖助金政策、助学贷金政策。这些政策的实施对于鼓励学生继续求学,减轻优秀学生的经济压力具有重要的作用。     

国家新奖助学金的特点与实施中存在问题的政策学分析

2007年6月,我国教育部、财政部联合下发了一系列文件,使我国的新奖助学金呈现出资助类型多、资助标准完善、中央与地方双重出资、助学金比重增大、民办高校纳入资助体系等特点,完善了我国大学生资助体系。但在具体实施过程当中,在政策方案、执行机构、目标群体、环境方面还存在一些问题,今后的改革也应从建立奖助学金运营机构、制定评价体系与监督机制、对学生进行奖助学金教育、建立系统化资助体系几个方面进行。     

Gendered inequalities in competitive grant funding: an overlooked dimension of gendered power relations in academia

ABSTRACT

Research grant funding influences the organisation of academic work and academic careers. We problematise general approaches to gender bias in research grant funding and argue that it fails to include the wider structures of inequality and the unequal gendered power relations in academia. Approaching the subject with gender budgeting we challenge assumed gender-neutral practices. The objective is to illuminate how the gendered funding system and (the previous and subsequent) gendered structures of academia are maintained. The whole grants scheme is assessed, drawing on statistical data collected on the whole population of a medium-size, comprehensive research and educational institution in Iceland, and two types of competitive grants. The data is measured against the pool of applicants and comparisons within and between fields and ranks are made. By including the structures of inequality and the gendered power relations, the results show how the funding system is biased not only in favour of men, but towards the male-dominated and culturally masculine positions and fields. This approach illustrates the need to address the whole academic system in order to challenge the norms that maintain and reproduce gender inequalities.

Assessing Precollege Science Education Outreach Initiatives: A Funder's Perspective

We describe an assessment of the collective impact of 35 grants that the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) made to biomedical research institutions in 1999 to support precollege science education outreach programs. Data collected from funded institutions were compared with data from a control group of institutions that had advanced to the last stage of review but had not been funded. The survey instrument and the results reveal outcomes and impacts that HHMI considers relevant for these programs. The following attributes are considered: ability to secure additional, non-HHMI funding; institution buy-in as measured by gains in dedicated space and staff; enhancement of the program director''s career; number and adoption of educational products developed; number of related publications and awards; percentage of programs for which teachers received course credit; increase in science content knowledge; and increase in student motivation to study science.     

针对微观数据的新国家助学金政策LOGIT模型实证分析

新国家助学金政策于2007年秋季正式实施。实证研究显示,尽管总体而言家庭经济困难学生更容易获得国家助学金,但学生在校学业表现好以及在校活动能力强均能提高学生获得国家助学金的概率。政府对国家助学金政策目标并未做明确清晰的界定,政府在如何向高校分配国家助学金资源以及高校在校内如何分配名额方面并未做到公开透明,现行高校国家助学金评定掺杂过多定性和主观因素。
