PurposeThis study aims to compare Chinese students' educational and career trajectories in Japan and Australia and to explore the factors that have influenced their choices that shaped their trajectories.Design/methodology/approachThe authors applied the push-pull and life planning models to compare the factors that shaped the Chinese students' trajectories in Japan and Australia. The mixed-method approach was adopted by combining the result of 353 questionnaire responses and ten semi-structured interviews of Chinese international graduates to understand the factors influencing their decision-makings when choosing a study destination, a workplace and a place for settlement. The authors also interviewed six human resources managers of local companies to understand how Chinese international graduates are evaluated in the host country's labor market.FindingsWhen choosing a study destination, cultural interest and inexpensive tuition fees are the pull factors for Japan, while family and friends' recommendations are strong motivations in choosing Australia. After graduation, utilization of capacity/specialty is a pull factor to work in Japan, while the prospect of promotion, good living environment and consideration for spouse/parents/children are the pull factors for Australia. Chinese graduates in Australia have stronger aspiration to remain in their study destination.Originality/valueSince there are few cross-national studies on international students' trajectories, this study filled the research gap by comparing the trajectories of Chinese students in Japan and Australia and clarifying the factors that shaped them.
目的本研究旨在比较中国学生在日本和澳大利亚的教育和职业轨迹,并探讨影响其选择的因素。作者运用推拉模型和人生规划模型来比较影响中国学生在日本和澳大利亚发展轨迹的因素。采用混合方法,结合353份调查问卷和10份半结构化访谈的结果,了解中国留学生在选择留学目的地、工作地点和定居地时的决策影响因素。作者还采访了六位当地公司的人力资源经理,以了解中国国际毕业生在东道国的劳动力市场是如何被评估的。在选择留学目的地时,文化兴趣和低廉的学费是日本的吸引因素,而家人和朋友的推荐是选择澳大利亚的强烈动机。毕业后,能力/专业的利用是在日本工作的拉动因素,而晋升的前景,良好的生活环境和对配偶/父母/孩子的考虑是在澳大利亚工作的拉动因素。在澳大利亚的中国毕业生有更强烈的愿望留在他们的学习目的地。原创性/价值由于国际学生轨迹的跨国研究很少,本研究通过比较中国学生在日本和澳大利亚的轨迹,并阐明塑造他们的因素,填补了研究空白。

PurposeThis study aims to identify the main motivational factors that led practicing teachers to choose teaching as a profession in the United States and Turkey. Another purpose of this research is to investigate the possible significant difference between male and female teachers from the United States and Turkey considering motivational factors that lead them to choose teaching as a profession.Design/methodology/approachQualitative and quantitative methods were used to collect and analyze the data. First, randomly selected middle grades teachers were asked to write personal statements where they explain their main reasons for choosing teaching as a career. Then, qualitative data obtained from personal statements were coded. The coding process allowed the researcher to create factors. Then, cross-tabular representation was produced by descriptive data. Finally, ANOVA was run in order to identify significant differences among groups of participants in terms of all motivational factors.FindingsResults indicated that (1) female teachers are motivated mostly by “Leisure and Comfort”; (2) “Enjoyment of subject” is a big motivator for US male teachers; (3) Turkish male teachers are motivated mostly by “Necessities” (4) male teachers have no strong desire to work with kids; (5) female teachers enjoy teaching more comparing the male teachers; (6) US Female teachers feel more personal fulfillment in teaching.Practical implicationsMotivational factors and reasons for choosing a teaching career can be further investigated by qualitative case studies with selected male and female teachers in order to better understand the reasons that derived both male and female teachers to specific kinds of motivational factors. That may provide a tick description of how motivation for the teaching profession develops over time starting from early memories and experiences in education and schooling. Through the lens of these kinds of qualitative studies, we may better understand how lived experiences are affecting decision-making by developing interest in specific areas.Originality/valueAlthough there is a considerable amount of studies conducted to examine preservice teachers' reasons given for joining the teaching profession, limited research has been done with practicing teachers to better understand the factors that motivated them to join the teaching profession.
目的本研究旨在找出导致美国和土耳其教师选择教学作为职业的主要动机因素。本研究的另一个目的是调查美国和土耳其的男性和女性教师在考虑促使他们选择教学作为职业的动机因素时可能存在的显著差异。设计/方法/方法采用定性和定量方法收集和分析数据。首先,随机选择的初中教师被要求写个人陈述,解释他们选择教学作为职业的主要原因。然后,对从个人陈述中获得的定性数据进行编码。编码过程允许研究人员创造因素。然后,通过描述性数据生成跨表表示。最后,进行方差分析,以确定各组参与者在所有动机因素方面的显著差异。研究结果表明:(1)女教师的主要动机是“休闲舒适”;(2)“学科乐趣”是美国男教师的一大激励因素;(3)土耳其男教师的主要动机是“必需品”(necessity)(必要性)(4)男教师对与孩子一起工作的意愿不强;(5)女教师比男教师更享受教学;(6)美国女教师在教学中有更多的个人成就感。实践意义选择教师职业的动机因素和原因可以通过选择男性和女性教师的定性案例研究来进一步调查,以便更好地了解男性和女性教师产生特定类型动机因素的原因。这或许可以为教师职业的动机是如何从早期的记忆和教育和上学经历开始随着时间的推移而发展提供一个简洁的描述。通过这些定性研究的镜头,我们可以更好地理解生活经历是如何通过培养对特定领域的兴趣来影响决策的。原创性/价值虽然有相当多的研究调查了职前教师加入教学专业的原因,但对在职教师进行的研究有限,无法更好地了解促使他们加入教学专业的因素。

PurposeIt is unfortunate yet true that in India, research starts and ends with a Ph.D. The steady decline in the quality of doctoral research has been an articulated concern among Indian academics at a time when research and innovation should be a priority. One of the feasible ways of resurrecting or reconstructing Indian research is to open up to examine contemporary international trends. Against this backdrop, the study aimed to make a comparative analysis of doctoral research in education in top-ranking international and top-ranking Indian universities.Design/methodology/approachAdopting a comparative education methodology, this paper examines 100 doctoral dissertations from the top 10 international universities as per Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranking and 100 doctoral theses from the top 10 Indian universities following National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) submitted in the past decade. Four significant issues were investigated during the comparison – topic, procedure, presentation, and dissemination – based on the premeditated Research Quality Relevance Metrics (RQRM) designed by the authors for quality improvement of research.FindingsFindings revealed stark differences between two trends in all four domains. The top international universities focus on the contemporariness scattered across diverse issues while Indian studies continue to engage on a few archetypal conventional issues with dreary reiterations. The newness of thought is rare in Indian research, while the interdisciplinary mixing of methods and practices had been the hallmark of its international comportment. Practice orientation has been a unique research attribute found in the top 10 international universities. The methods applied have attempted to reduce the age-old gap between educational research and practice. Methodological innovativeness, structural orientation, readability, and dissemination of research were also exemplary in those international theses, whereas Indian theses are still reeling under orthodox surveys with hesitant reporting.Research limitations/implicationsThis study put an exclusive mirror in front of Indian doctoral research on its current state in respect of international standards. At the same time, it upholds a framework to promote research quality and impact. Dimensions of research quality relevance matrices and recommendations for effective doctoral research are two vibrant contributions to the intelligentsia in general for bringing Indian research out of its cocoon to make it internationally comparable.Originality/valueIt reports a study conducted by the researchers and the write-up is based on the empirical findings only.
不幸的是,在印度,研究以博士学位开始,也以博士学位结束。在研究和创新应该成为优先事项的时候,博士研究质量的持续下降已经成为印度学术界明确关注的问题。复兴或重建印度研究的可行方法之一是开放地审视当代国际趋势。在此背景下,本研究旨在对国际一流大学和印度一流大学的教育学博士研究进行比较分析。采用比较教育的方法,本文研究了来自Quacquarelli Symonds (QS)排名前10的国际大学的100篇博士论文,以及来自国家机构排名框架(NIRF)排名前10的印度大学在过去十年中提交的100篇博士论文。基于作者为提高研究质量而设计的预先研究质量相关度量(RQRM),在比较过程中调查了主题、程序、呈现和传播四个重要问题。调查结果显示,在所有四个领域中,两种趋势之间存在明显差异。顶尖的国际大学关注的是分散在不同问题上的当代性,而印度的研究则继续专注于一些典型的传统问题,只是沉闷地重复。新颖的思想在印度的研究中是罕见的,而跨学科的方法和实践的混合是其国际行为的标志。实践导向是国际排名前十的大学独特的研究属性。所采用的方法试图缩小教育研究与实践之间的长期差距。在这些国际论文中,方法创新、结构取向、可读性和研究的传播也堪称典范,而印度的论文仍然在正统的调查中步履蹒跚,报告犹豫不决。研究局限/启示这项研究为印度博士研究的国际标准现状提供了一面独特的镜子。与此同时,它还维护一个促进研究质量和影响的框架。研究质量的维度、相关性矩阵和有效博士研究的建议是对知识界的两个充满活力的贡献,它们将印度的研究从茧中带出来,使其具有国际可比性。原创性/价值它报告了研究人员进行的一项研究,文章仅基于实证研究结果。

Exploring the standard language ideology in China's language policy 试论中国语言政策中的规范语言意识形态
IF 0.8 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2022-10-13 DOI: 10.1108/ijced-04-2022-0024
Xudong Ning, Jeannet Stephen
PurposeThis research explores the standard language ideology in Chinese foreign language education policies. The most substantial in relation to language policy and management in regard to language ideology are beliefs associated with the values on the named language and its varieties (Spolsky, 2009). In the standard language ideology, the standard is treated as being valuable linguistic capital and possessing prestige as well as authority. Mandarin is the most well-accepted standard Chinese, and similarly, UK English or US English is the most popular and Standard English (SE) in China.Design/methodology/approachThe theoretical framework in this research is critical discourse analysis (CDA) and discourse-historical approach (DHA) to guide the data collection and data analysis. This research will review recent and seminal literature obtained from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) on language policy in China in relation to standard language ideology. The literature also investigates Chinese state's English language ideologies using official language education policies (FLEPs).FindingsThe results show that standard language ideology is a common mindset found within official state policies in regard to SE. The authors argue that the Chinese trust on the ideology of standard language appears to not be aligned to recent worldwide trends such as globalization and multilingualism.Originality/valueThis research can provide insights into future language planning and language policy in China and shows that the future research could do more on language planning in China.
目的探讨中国外语教育政策中的规范语言意识形态。在语言意识形态方面,与语言政策和管理有关的最重要的是与命名语言及其变种的价值观相关的信念(Spolsky, 2009)。在规范语言意识形态中,规范被视为有价值的语言资本,具有威望和权威。普通话是最被接受的标准汉语,同样,英式英语或美式英语是中国最流行的标准英语。设计/方法/方法本研究的理论框架是批判性话语分析(CDA)和话语历史分析(DHA),以指导数据收集和数据分析。本研究将回顾从中国知网(CNKI)获得的有关中国语言政策与标准语言意识形态的最新文献。本文还研究了中国官方语言教育政策对英语语言意识形态的影响。研究结果表明,标准语言意识形态是官方语言政策中存在的一种普遍心态。作者认为,中国人对标准语言意识形态的信任似乎与最近的全球化和多语言化等全球趋势不一致。独创性/价值本研究可以为中国未来的语言规划和语言政策提供见解,并表明未来的研究可以在中国的语言规划方面做得更多。

Researching ethnic minority lives in multicultural contexts: a methodological inquiry in acculturation 多元文化背景下少数民族生活研究:文化适应的方法论探究
IF 0.8 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2022-09-26 DOI: 10.1108/ijced-11-2021-0119
S. Karim, M. Hue
PurposeThis paper aims to outline the experience of choosing an appropriate methodology from the potential qualitative methods for studying acculturative experiences amongst a group of non-Chinese young people in Hong Kong. It delineates the reasons for choosing phenomenography for researching their lived acculturative experiences. The paper also briefly explains the advantages of phenomenographic research and advocates it as a potential qualitative method for investigating diverse trajectories of acculturative experiences amongst ethnic minority/immigrant populations in multicultural contexts.Design/methodology/approachResearchers have investigated the acculturation of immigrant youth across settlement societies using different theoretical frameworks, approaches, scales, surveys and questionnaires. However, little attention has been given to the research methodologies that focus on lived human experiences across acculturating groups. By adopting an integrative literature review approach, this paper examines phenomenography as one of the potential qualitative research methods to explore ethnic minority lives in multicultural contexts.FindingsGiven that acculturation is a heterogeneous social phenomenon, phenomenography can help address the issues and limitations inherent to the traditional methodological approaches to studying acculturation amongst youth with ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds.Practical implicationsResearchers in comparative, intercultural and multicultural education may benefit from phenomenography by exploring the different ways immigrants and ethnic minority populations experience acculturation in multicultural contexts.Originality/valueThis paper outlines the authors' first-hand experiences who sought to identify an appropriate qualitative research method for studying acculturative experiences amongst a group of non-Chinese secondary school students in Hong Kong. Based on their extensive research experiences in the interpretative research tradition, the authors propose phenomenography as a promising method for exploring the diverse trajectories of acculturation amongst ethnic minority and immigrant youth in multicultural contexts.
目的本文旨在概述从潜在的定性方法中选择合适的方法来研究香港一群非华裔年轻人的文化异化经历的经验。阐述了他们选择现象学研究异文化生活经验的原因。本文还简要地解释了现象研究的优势,并主张它是一种潜在的定性方法,用于研究多元文化背景下少数民族/移民人口的不同文化适应经验轨迹。研究人员使用不同的理论框架、方法、量表、调查和问卷调查了移民青年在定居社会中的文化适应情况。然而,很少有人关注跨文化适应群体的人类生活经历的研究方法。本文采用综合文献综述的方法,探讨了现象学作为一种潜在的定性研究方法来探索多元文化背景下的少数民族生活。鉴于文化适应是一种异质的社会现象,现象学可以帮助解决研究少数民族和移民背景青年文化适应的传统方法方法固有的问题和局限性。现象学可以帮助比较、跨文化和多元文化教育的研究者探索移民和少数民族在多元文化背景下经历文化适应的不同方式。原创性/价值本文概述了作者的第一手经验,作者试图找到一种合适的定性研究方法来研究香港一群非华裔中学生的异文化体验。基于他们在解释性研究传统中的广泛研究经验,作者提出现象学作为一种有前途的方法来探索多元文化背景下少数民族和移民青年的文化适应的不同轨迹。

Higher education peacebuilding in conflict-affected societies: beyond the good/bad binary 受冲突影响社会的高等教育建设和平:超越好坏二元对立
IF 0.8 Q3 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH Pub Date : 2022-09-13 DOI: 10.1108/ijced-04-2022-0027

PurposeThis comparative case study looks towards the diverse approaches of higher education to support peacebuilding, from policy and philosophy to pedagogical practices, in conflict-affected and post-conflict settings. The achievement of global development goals is dependent on addressing access to quality education in conflict-affected contexts, including higher education. However, in settings affected by conflict, higher education is often perceived to be a luxury, not a necessity. This study, then, explores whether and how higher education might support peace and development through the unique perspective of the “three faces” of higher education in conflict contexts.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is designed as a qualitative comparative case study. The research examines the work of university educators in two institutions in Afghanistan and Somaliland, highlighting the challenges and opportunities they face working in conflict-affected societies and their pedagogical responses to conflict. Data for the research were collected through in-depth interviews, documents, and digital artifacts with 12 university educators across the two institutions. The faculty teach a wide variety of subjects in the social sciences and humanities, subjects including and in addition to those specific to peace and development studies. To strengthen the interpretation of data, multiple coders were involved and intercoder reliability was conducted.FindingsFindings indicate a number of challenges and opportunities that university lecturers and their institutions face in teaching for peace in conflict-affected contexts, particularly as it relates to the “three faces” of higher education to support, impede, or reveal the complicated nuances of peacebuilding in conflict settings. Member-checking was employed with participants to enhance the reliability of the analysis.Originality/valueIn the end, the paper contributes new empirical insights into higher education in conflict-affected contexts, particularly from the standpoint of faculty. Critical perspectives and implications for curriculum, pedagogy and research are offered.
本比较案例研究着眼于高等教育在受冲突影响和冲突后环境中支持建设和平的各种方法,从政策和哲学到教学实践。实现全球发展目标取决于在受冲突影响的情况下解决获得优质教育的问题,包括高等教育。然而,在受冲突影响的环境中,高等教育往往被认为是一种奢侈品,而不是必需品。因此,本研究通过冲突背景下高等教育的“三面”这一独特视角,探讨了高等教育是否以及如何支持和平与发展。设计/方法/方法这篇论文被设计成一个定性的比较案例研究。这项研究考察了阿富汗和索马里兰两所大学教育工作者的工作,强调了他们在受冲突影响的社会中工作所面临的挑战和机遇,以及他们对冲突的教学反应。该研究的数据是通过对两所大学的12名大学教育工作者的深入访谈、文件和数字文物收集的。该学院教授各种各样的社会科学和人文学科,包括和平与发展研究。为了加强数据的解释,涉及多个编码器,并进行了编码器间的可靠性测试。调查结果表明,在受冲突影响的背景下,大学讲师及其机构在和平教学中面临着许多挑战和机遇,特别是因为它涉及高等教育的“三面”,即支持、阻碍或揭示冲突环境中和平建设的复杂细微差别。为了提高分析的可靠性,对被试进行了成员检验。最后,本文对受冲突影响背景下的高等教育提供了新的实证见解,特别是从教师的角度出发。提供了对课程、教学法和研究的批判性观点和影响。

The achievement of global development goals is dependent on addressing access to quality education in conflict-affected contexts, including higher education.

This study, then, explores whether and how higher education might support peace and development through the unique perspective of the “three faces” of higher education in conflict contexts.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is designed as a qualitative comparative case study. The research examines the work of university educators in two institutions in Afghanistan and Somaliland, highlighting the challenges and opportunities they face working in conflict-affected societies and their pedagogical responses to conflict.

PurposeThe study systematically analyses the path dependency and path-shaping of borrowed education policy, tracing it from the global through the national to individual schools. It also revisits the case schools after five years to map the school level policy paths.Design/methodology/approachRecently, path-dependency heuristics have drawn attention in predicting educational policy trajectories. However, these studies are primarily theoretical, and those empirical studies do not capture what happens at the school level. This paper fills the research gap by presenting a model that synthesises the research from diverse fields and is informed by findings from a longitudinal case study of educational outsourcing in public schools in Hong Kong and Korea.FindingsThe findings highlight path dependency interactions across educational levels diachronically and synchronically, while aptly incorporating the creative ways school leaders exercise their agency therein. The paper concludes with new insights into policy trajectory and education outsourcing.Originality/valueThe study substantiates and extends previously suggested theoretical models on the paths of travelling educational policies and identifies the factors that shape the paths. It also sheds light on how school leaders navigate the structures that constrain their actions or create a new path and pursue their educational goals.
目的系统分析借鉴教育政策的路径依赖与路径塑造,从全球到国家再到个别学校进行追溯。它还在五年后重新审视案例学校,以绘制学校层面的政策路径。最近,路径依赖启发式在预测教育政策轨迹方面引起了人们的关注。然而,这些研究主要是理论性的,而那些实证研究并没有捕捉到学校层面发生的情况。本文以香港和韩国公立学校教育外包纵向个案研究的结果为基础,提出了一个综合不同领域研究的模型,填补了研究空白。研究结果强调了跨教育层次的路径依赖互动的历时性和同步性,同时适当地结合了学校领导在其中行使其代理权的创造性方式。文章最后对政策轨迹和教育外包提出了新的见解。原创性/价值本研究证实并扩展了先前提出的关于旅游教育政策路径的理论模型,并确定了形成路径的因素。它还揭示了学校领导者如何驾驭约束他们行动的结构,或创造一条新的道路,追求他们的教育目标。

PurposeWith the advancement of novel forms of text mining techniques, new possibilities have opened up to conduct large-scale content analysis of educational research from an international and comparative perspective. Since educational research tends to convey great variation based on country-specific circumstances it constitutes a good testbed for context-rich depictions of the knowledge formation within a given research field.Design/methodology/approachIn this article, the authors compare the educational research that has been produced by scholars in Singapore and Sweden. The article begins by providing a rich overview of what has characterised the formation and institutionalization of educational research in public policy. After this background they map the knowledge formation of education by means of a comparative bibliometric approach using words from abstracts, titles and keywords published in 9017 peer-reviewed articles between 2000 and 2020. First, the authors describe the dominant topics in each country using topic modelling techniques. Secondly, the authors identify the most distinguishing discourses when comparing the two countries.FindingsThe findings illustrate two ideal-types for conducting educational research: Singapore being more centralised, practically-oriented, quantitative and uncritical, whereas Sweden is decentralised, pluralistic, qualitative and critical in orientation. After having mapped out the prevailing topics among researchers working in these locations, the authors connect these findings to larger debates on rivalling knowledge traditions in educational scholarship, the role of the state and the degree of autonomy within higher education.Originality/valueThrough large scale text mining techniques, researchers have begun to explore the semantic composition of various research fields such as higher education research, research on lifelong learning, or social science studies. However, the bibliometric method has also been criticised for creating “mega-national comparisons” that suffer from a lack of understanding of the national ramifications of various research pursuits. The authors’ study addresses these shortcomings and provides a rich depiction of educational research in Singapore and Sweden. It zooms in on the relationship between each country's institutional histories, research priorities and semantic output.
随着新型文本挖掘技术的发展,从国际和比较的角度对教育研究进行大规模的内容分析开辟了新的可能性。由于教育研究倾向于传达基于国家具体情况的巨大差异,因此它构成了在给定研究领域内对知识形成进行上下文丰富描述的良好测试平台。在这篇文章中,作者比较了新加坡和瑞典学者的教育研究成果。本文首先对公共政策教育研究的形成和制度化的特征进行了丰富的概述。在此背景下,他们利用2000年至2020年间9017篇同行评议文章的摘要、标题和关键词,通过比较文献计量学方法绘制了教育知识形成的地图。首先,作者使用主题建模技术描述了每个国家的主导主题。其次,作者在比较两国时找出了最具区别的话语。研究结果说明了进行教育研究的两种理想类型:新加坡更集中,以实际为导向,定量和不批判,而瑞典则是分散,多元化,定性和批判。在绘制出在这些地方工作的研究人员的流行主题之后,作者将这些发现与更大的辩论联系起来,这些辩论涉及教育学术中相互竞争的知识传统、国家的角色和高等教育中的自治程度。原创性/价值通过大规模的文本挖掘技术,研究者已经开始探索各个研究领域的语义组成,如高等教育研究、终身学习研究或社会科学研究。然而,文献计量学方法也受到批评,因为它造成了“大型国家比较”,缺乏对各种研究追求的国家后果的理解。作者的研究弥补了这些不足,并对新加坡和瑞典的教育研究提供了丰富的描述。它聚焦于每个国家的制度历史、研究重点和语义输出之间的关系。

Does the public-private higher education institution distinction influence academics' societal engagement? Evidence from Chile and Turkey 公立-私立高等教育机构的区分是否影响学者的社会参与?来自智利和土耳其的证据

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the participation in commercially- and socially-oriented Academics' Societal Engagement (ASE) activities, partnership choices, and funding preferences of academics working in public and private universities from Chile and Turkey. Chile represents a private-dominant higher education system (HES), while Turkey is public-dominant. This article presents the results of an international survey, the Academic Profession in Knowledge-based Society (APIKS), applied to academics from over 20 countries, including Chile and Turkey.Design/methodology/approachThrough a quantitative analysis the authors analyse how the dominant institutional type influences ASE activities, partnership choices, and funding preferences.FindingsResults from the analysis show that being part of a public or private university does not solely explain the activity type that academics engage with. Moreover, the rate of Chilean academics participating in ASE activities is more than twice that of Turkish academics regardless of the public-private distinction.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research about the academic life and ASE activities using a qualitative approach can complement this study. Applying further in-depth interviews to obtain more information from external partners can provide different perspectives and help to better understand the ASE activities. Additional analysis could compare external activities by higher education institution (HEI) type regarding vocational/technical centres since the Chilean and Turkish private HEIs included in this study received a mix of public-private funds and are considered not-for-profit, so extending this research to include for-profit private HEIs may be worthwhile for additional comparison.Practical implicationsMore support and funding for the development of commercially-oriented ASE activities is recommended for Chile and Turkey's HES. In Turkey, a law-update in 2017 facilitates the establishment of technology transfer offices (TTOs) as companies within universities (Author, 2019). Though it is too early to know its effects, a positive contribution is anticipated. Centred Chile's private dominant HES, it would be appropriate for this type of system to also create different support structures to incentivise socially-oriented external activities and partnership opportunities. As done in other universities, the establishment of a community engagement office may provide professional guidance for partnership creations. Regardless of a country's HE public/private dominance, diverse sources of funding and support mechanisms can also be created to strengthen organisational and financial autonomy facilitating academics' participation in ASE activities. For example, universities can develop institutional policies to support academic establishment, lead or join in administration of non-governmental organisations, or form institutional media to deliver academics' viewpoi
本研究的目的是考察智利和土耳其公立和私立大学的学者参与商业和社会导向的学者社会参与(ASE)活动、合作伙伴选择和资助偏好之间的关系。智利是私立主导的高等教育体系(HES),而土耳其是公立主导的。本文介绍了一项国际调查的结果,即知识社会中的学术职业(APIKS),该调查适用于包括智利和土耳其在内的20多个国家的学者。通过定量分析,作者分析了占主导地位的机构类型如何影响ASE活动、合作伙伴选择和资金偏好。分析结果表明,作为公立或私立大学的一部分并不能完全解释学者参与的活动类型。此外,智利学者参与ASE活动的比率是土耳其学者的两倍多,无论公私区分如何。研究的局限性/启示使用定性方法对学术生活和ASE活动进行进一步的研究可以补充本研究。通过进一步深入的访谈,从外部合作伙伴那里获得更多信息,可以提供不同的视角,并有助于更好地理解ASE活动。额外的分析可以比较高等教育机构(HEI)类型关于职业/技术中心的外部活动,因为本研究中包括的智利和土耳其私立高等教育机构获得了公私混合资金,并且被认为是非营利性的,因此将本研究扩展到包括营利性私立高等教育机构可能值得进行额外的比较。实际意义建议为智利和土耳其的HES提供更多的支持和资金,以开发面向商业的ASE活动。在土耳其,2017年的一项法律更新促进了技术转移办公室(TTOs)作为大学内部公司的建立(作者,2019年)。虽然现在知道它的影响还为时过早,但预计会有积极的贡献。以智利私人主导的卫生系统为中心,这种类型的系统也应该创建不同的支持结构,以激励面向社会的外部活动和伙伴关系机会。与其他大学一样,建立社区参与办公室可以为合作伙伴的创建提供专业指导。无论一个国家的高等教育公共/私人主导地位如何,也可以建立不同的资金来源和支持机制,以加强组织和财政自主权,促进学者参与ASE活动。例如,大学可以制定制度性政策来支持学术机构,领导或参与非政府组织的管理,或者形成制度性媒体,将学者对社会问题的观点传递给更多的非学术受众。大学管理者还应通过不同的组织结构,如研究室、科学园孵化器、就业中心等,加强学术界与工商界的联系,同时利用他们在研发中心的经验和资源,指导和资助学术界的研究商业化。文献对公立-私立高等教育的差异进行了广泛的研究,但尚未有针对ASE的实证研究。智利和土耳其提出了有趣的案例,因为考虑到公立-私立高等教育体系的优势,它们代表了相反的两端。土耳其表现出严重的公共优势,而智利则有一个非常强大的私人体系。

PurposeThe study aims to provide insight on the potential effectiveness of demand-side financing for catalyzing improved educational outcomes in Malawi; and, given the extent of cost-related constraints to school contexts in other low-income countries, the results have relevance for education policy decisions more broadly.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilizes a non-equivalent groups research design to compare the educational experiences and outcomes of two student groups – those who did and those who did not receive a needs-based scholarship to attend secondary school and college in the Dowa, Kasungu, and Lilongwe Districts of Malawi. The authors assess impacts across a range of short and medium-term outcomes, including: school attendance, withdrawal, attainment, graduation, employment status, employment quality, and post-schooling income.FindingsThe scholarship substantially reduces the household cost of participation in school, and reduces the distance travelled to school. As a result, scholarship recipients attain between 1 and 1.5 years of additional schooling and graduate at higher rates. In terms of post-schooling outcomes, recipients are in higher wage-earning occupations after leaving school. Overall, results suggest that scholarships are an effective demand-side strategy for improving educational attainment, progression, and potentially longer-term labor market outcomes.Originality/valueThe study adds new evidence on policy approaches for expanding access to educational opportunities and increasing labor market outcomes in a context (Malawi specifically and sub-Saharan Africa more broadly) where evidence on such demand-side interventions is still growing.
本研究旨在深入了解需求侧融资在促进马拉维教育成果改善方面的潜在有效性;而且,考虑到其他低收入国家的学校环境受到与成本相关的限制的程度,研究结果对更广泛的教育政策决策具有相关性。设计/方法/方法本研究采用非等效群体研究设计,比较马拉维多瓦、卡松古和利隆圭地区两个学生群体的教育经历和成果,即获得和未获得基于需求的中学和大学奖学金的学生群体。作者评估了一系列短期和中期结果的影响,包括:出勤率、退学、成绩、毕业、就业状况、就业质量和毕业后收入。研究发现:该奖学金大大降低了家庭上学的成本,并缩短了上学的路程。因此,奖学金获得者获得1至1.5年的额外教育,毕业率更高。就毕业后的结果而言,受助人在离开学校后从事收入较高的职业。总体而言,研究结果表明,奖学金是一种有效的需求方策略,可以提高教育程度、进步和潜在的长期劳动力市场结果。原创性/价值本研究为扩大受教育机会和提高劳动力市场结果的政策方法提供了新的证据(特别是马拉维和更广泛的撒哈拉以南非洲),在这些背景下,这种需求侧干预措施的证据仍在不断增加。
