A Survey Report about the General Situation of the Students in Adult Higher Medical Education

This survey was implemented, so that the general situation of the students in adult higher medical education is more accurately and comprehensively known, and also adult education and teaching work can be developed in a targeted way. 193 students attending adult education junior college participated in this survey, and the surveyed details included the general situation of student sources, the ideological trends, and the degree of the cognition on the majors, the degree of the recognition on teaching, the employment concept, and the problems in the current jobs. By a statistical analysis, a foundation is further laid for the effective work of adult higher medical education.

Investigation on Tabriz University Teachers’ Experiences of the Ignored Curriculumin General Courses

The ignored curriculum is one of important elements in the curriculum that the design of this concept has led to reduce a superficial look at measures to curriculum. Ignored curriculum not only in the design but also should be considered at the implementation level. The present study examined the experiences of teachers in general education from ignored curriculum in higher education and this study was done by qualitative research and its approach was interpretive phenomenology. In this regard, semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-six teachers of general education courses and the data obtained from these interviews were analyzed by using phenomenology of Smith. Three major themes from ignored curriculum, were found from the experience of teachers including 1) lack of attention to requirements which consists of three sub-categories: in attention to the needs of the learner, the needs and demands of everyday life and the needs of experts;2) lack of attention to content;3) run into problems involving the four sub-problems of teaching, evaluation time, space and assessment. The teachers during the training and implementing courses have gained a lot of experience from the ignored curriculum that had impact on their perception. Planners are familiar with academics experiences and identify ignored curriculum of general education courses and emphasized on how they understand the main goals of general education courses and made it meaningful and they had a main role in eliminating the flaws of this course, and enhance the effectiveness of them. In summary, the results obtained from the study were that general education courses, do not address the needs of learners. These requirements include of three sub-categories: inattention to the needs of the learner, routine needs and professionals. Also, courses have less attention to content. And there are problems such as difficulties in teaching this lesson, time, space and evaluation.

Developing the information-seeking behavior scale for undergraduates

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to develop a standardized and reliable measurement tool for assessing information-seeking behavior of undergraduate students.Design/methodology/approach: Based on information literacy and information-seeking behavior theories, expert advice and students' interview, items of undergraduates' informationseeking behavior indicators were selected. With the analysis of homogeneity reliability, item analysis and factor analysis, this study constructs an assessment system to evaluate reliability and validity of the scale.Findings: The information-seeking behavior scale for undergraduates has divided undergraduates' information-seeking behavior into seven dimensions, which include 46 items. The reliability analysis of Cronbach's α was 0.910, and the coefficient of split-half reliability was0.817. The results of factor analysis showed that Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin(KMO) was 0.864,which indicates 55.536% of the total variation could be explained by the above seven dimensions.Research limitations: Due to a small sample size and limited sample distribution, further research need be conducted in an expanded sample size in order to explore the application scope of this evaluation system; in addition, the stability of the scale also need be confirmed.Practical implications: The paper sets up an information-seeking behavior evaluation system for undergraduates and explores the characteristics of their information-seeking behavior.This study provides guidance for the development of future information literacy education and the improvement of the information literacy level of undergraduates.Originality/value: An information-seeking behavior scale for undergraduates has been developed, which comprehensively covers information need, information source, information evaluation, information retrieval, information management, information utilization and information morality. The scale is proved to have good reliability, validity, popularity anddiscrimination that it is qualified to be an assessment tool of information-seeking behavior for Chinese undergraduates.

Making Sense of Interdisciplinary General Education Curriculum Design: Case Study of Common Core Curriculum at the University of Hong Kong

Purpose:This research is an interview-based study that captures the academics’perspectives toward the planning and design of an interdisciplinary General Education Curriculum for undergraduate students in the Chinese context,using the Common Core Curriculum at the University of Hong Kong as a case study.Design/Approach/Methods:A total of 28 academics with various levels of academic ranking,disciplinary context,proven teaching excellence,and research productivities were individually invited for and consented to a semi-structured and face-to-face interview.Findings:This article suggests four fundamental and interrelated dimensions for consideration when structuring an interdisciplinary General Education Curriculum,namely,how to design,what is worth learning,how to learn and teach,and how to know students have learned.It is suggested that the ideal curriculum should remain coherent and coordinated,broad and balanced,as well as open and flexible,ensuring the capture of knowledge,skills,and attitudes,with the facilitation of active,authentic,and contextualized pedagogies and assessments.Originality/Value:This article has the potential of providing insight for policymakers and educators around the world to better structure an interdisciplinary General Education Curriculum by creating an overall springboard for future discussion.They can also integrate these evidence-based elements and strategies into their everyday practices.

高等教育规模、城镇化与区域经济增长机制研究——基于省级面板数据的证据

高等教育规模是经济持续增长的重要因素,城镇化是否在高等教育规模对区域经济增长的影响中发挥了重要中介效应,需要进一步研究。为此,可以基于2004一2020年国家统计局省级面板数据,分析高等教育规模与区域经济增长的关系,辨析城镇化在两者关系中的作用,进而探究高等教育规模、城镇化对区域经济增长的影响机理。研究结果表明:高等教育规模促进区域经济增长具有直接作用;城镇化对区域经济增长具有正向驱动作用;城镇化在高等教育规模促进区域经济增长过程中发挥了中介效应。这也证明了“高等教育规模一城镇化一区域经济增长”机制的存在。为有效利用该机制,建议适度扩大高等教育规模,加快培养高层次创新人才,因地制宜加快新型城镇化建设,推动城镇产业结构升级,建设现代化产业体系,促进区域经济快速健康发展。

高职教育规模对中国城乡收入差距影响的空间溢出效应

高职教育规模不仅通过直接和间接机制影响着中国城乡收入差距,而且通过空间溢出效益影响相邻地区的城乡收入差距。基于2004——2019年中国30个省份的面板数据,研究中国高职教育规模的空间相关性和空间集聚情况,并在此基础上构建空间计量模型,检验高职教育规模与城乡收入差距的关系。结果表明,中国各省的高职教育规模具有空间相关性。从全国层面看,高职发展规模对城乡收入差距有显著的溢出效益,而直接效益不显著。从区域层面看,中部地区的空间溢出效益高于直接效益,东部和西部地区的直接效益高于空间溢出效益,但东部地区空间溢出效益不显著。

高等教育的多中心布局能提高城市创新水平吗

创新驱动发展战略的深入实施有赖于高等教育,但高校作为资源依赖型组织,往往受制于政府目标和市场力量,这种独立性的相对欠缺所带来的高等教育规模扩张,直接推动了高等教育在省域空间的多中心布局,这是否有碍于高等教育对经济社会良序发展的促进作用?以2004—2019年23个省份231个城市作为研究样本,采用固定效应模型和工具变量法进行实证研究,结果表明:第一,高校自主性欠缺所带来的省域高等教育布局多中心化趋势,会对省域内城市的创新水平带来负向影响。第二,基础设施建设的挤出效应是城市创新关键机制。与地方政府博弈互为表里的省域多中心化进程,将通过基础设施建设,放大地方高校规模扩张所具有的投资拉动属性,并最终挤出城市创新;省域层面知识溢出所带来的网络外部性和城市层面的集聚外部性虽然有利于城市创新,但难以克服多中心布局所带来的负面效应。第三,异质性研究发现,多中心布局只是促进了形式公平,但实际上经济发展水平更差、行政级别更低城市的创新水平受到更为明显的负向影响,中心城市对邻近区域创新水平的溢出效应也间接被削弱。因此,加快转变地方政府的经济增长逻辑和尊重高校主体性地位,避免盲目扩张,是优化省域高等教育布局、提高城市创新水平、助推城市经济高质量发展的有效路径。

在优秀与平等之间:高等教育规模扩张进程中精英教育的发展

精英高等教育阶段,追求优秀、培养精英是大学的基本理念。20世纪中叶以来,高等教育的发展理念以平等主义逐渐取代精英主义,而随着以平等为目的的高等教育规模不断扩张,大学精英教育的特质也被高等职业教育和尖端科学研究的普适性所取代。但精英教育逐渐被大众教育取代,也使曾经以精英主义为理念的大学越发难以培养出英才。当今我国已经迈入普及高等教育阶段,规模扩张的进程还在继续,在此背景下,只有从平等主义理论和精英主义理论角度来审视优秀与平等之间的矛盾,才能在规模扩张进程中把握大众教育与精英教育的合理尺度,从而实现高等教育的高质量发展。

放管结合:高等教育应对大规模语言模型冲击的立场及其展开

大规模预训练语言模型以学生主动使用为渠道入局高等教育,引发知识、诚信、价值观多重危机。其本身巨大的应用前景和海量用户的既定事实,表明封禁排异已不可行;现有产品尚处于快速迭代期,加之缺乏成熟的治理方案,因而鼓励推广亦为时过早。对大模型的规制应树立“放管结合”的立场,坚持有所为、有所不为。一方面,公权力机关宜克制规制冲动、适当放任观望,仅对部分确有必要的事项精确管治;另一方面,鼓励教师、学生、企业等私主体探索自治举措,引导大模型正向赋能高等教育。未来“师—生—机”三位一体的教育模式中,教师的中心地位非但不会削弱,反将得到增强。
