Can role models help encourage young people to apply to (selective) universities? Evidence from a large-scale English field experiment 榜样能帮助鼓励年轻人申请(名牌)大学吗?来自大规模英语实地实验的证据
Michael Sanders, Raj Chande, Eliza Kozman
Under-participation in selective universities lowers social mobility in England, the United States and elsewhere. English universities have standardised tuition costs and strongly heterogeneous graduate earnings. Attending a selective university is therefore strongly incentivised, yet under-participation is extensive. The UK Government sent 11,104 `nudge´ letters to school students whose prior attainment made them competitive for entry into selective universities, urging them to consider that option. We evaluate this randomised controlled trial and find it effective at raising the number of students who apply to, and accept offers from, selective universities. We find the cost to be low relative to outcomes.
在英国、美国和其他地方,名牌大学的低参与度降低了社会流动性。英国大学的学费已经标准化,毕业生的收入也存在很大差异。因此,进入名牌大学受到强烈的激励,但参与不足的现象很普遍。英国政府向11104名学生发出了“鼓励信”,敦促他们考虑这一选择,这些学生之前的成绩使他们在进入名牌大学时具有竞争力。我们评估了这个随机对照试验,发现它有效地提高了申请和接受名牌大学录取的学生数量。我们发现成本相对于结果是低的。

Dyslexic difference and contextual studies writing in creative arts higher education: Three telling cases 创造性艺术高等教育中阅读障碍差异与语境研究:三个典型案例
Melanie Gale Davies
Students with the specific learning difficulty of dyslexia (SpLD) are now common in UK higher educational contexts. Whether this reflects an increase in the prevalence of the condition or is a manifestation of changes in both understandings of dyslexia and diagnostic processes in the UK, is not clear. But what is clear is that the increased visibility of dyslexia reflects a wider cultural turn, which sees both the breaking down of elitist notions about who is entitled to a `higher education´, and a questioning of ableist beliefs about how learning should occur (Mallett et al., 2016). Using semi-structured interviews (Kvale, 1996, 2011) and an interpretive approach, this article explores the ways that three students made sense of their higher educational experiences within the context of current UK higher education (HE) dyslexia policy. The experiences of these three student case studies, understood to be `telling´ (Mitchell, 1984) rather than `typical´ cases, help to support an exploration of some of the complexities of dyslexic difference, as experienced in one creative arts higher education institution. While research indicates that dyslexia can lead to low expectations of achievement for, and by, learners, I argue that, within the creative arts context of this study, dyslexic difference led to proactive, reflexive approaches to learning that can be learned from and that this may have applications for inclusive practice in HE more broadly.
患有特殊学习困难的阅读障碍(SpLD)的学生现在在英国高等教育环境中很常见。这是否反映了这种情况的患病率增加,或者是英国对阅读障碍的理解和诊断过程发生变化的表现,目前尚不清楚。但有一点是清楚的,阅读障碍的日益明显反映了一种更广泛的文化转向,即关于谁有权接受“高等教育”的精英主义观念的瓦解,以及对学习应该如何进行的能力主义信念的质疑(Mallett et al., 2016)。本文采用半结构化访谈(Kvale, 1996, 2011)和解释性方法,探讨了在当前英国高等教育(HE)阅读障碍政策的背景下,三名学生如何理解他们的高等教育经历。这三个学生案例研究的经历,被理解为“说明”(Mitchell, 1984)而不是“典型”案例,有助于支持对阅读障碍差异的一些复杂性的探索,正如在一个创造性艺术高等教育机构所经历的那样。虽然研究表明,阅读障碍会导致学习者对成就的期望较低,但我认为,在本研究的创造性艺术背景下,阅读障碍的差异导致了主动的、反思性的学习方法,可以从中学习,这可能在高等教育的包容性实践中有更广泛的应用。

Sociological insights: Designing pedagogically sound blended learning programs in enabling contexts 社会学见解:在有利的环境中设计教学上合理的混合学习计划
Michelle Mansfield, Joel McGregor, Kate Mellor
Higher education is currently experiencing an increasing focus on the use of innovative teaching methods to engage student cohorts within an atmosphere of shrinking university budgets. In this milieu, blended learning (BL), or integrating audio-visual materials into current face-to-face course designs, has become an increasingly attractive option that increases flexibility for students whilst adhering to challenging budgetary demands. In this paper, implementing BL in two sociology courses of an Australian university???s pathways program will be subject to critical reflection. Enabling pathways are free open-access programs offered to people who do not have the qualifications required for direct entry into an undergraduate degree program. We disseminated a suite of BL modules during 2019. These modules included visual learning objects featuring experts within their disciplinary fields and have a focus on bringing sociological theory into a real-world context. This paper aims to critique this pedagogical practice within a widening participation framework. We will examine the challenges of teaching students from under-represented backgrounds, including flexibility, engagement and infrastructure, and suggest a new pedagogical framework to address these challenges in a supportive environment.
在大学预算缩减的情况下,高等教育目前越来越注重使用创新的教学方法来吸引学生群体。在这种情况下,混合学习(BL),或将视听材料整合到目前的面对面课程设计中,已经成为一种越来越有吸引力的选择,它增加了学生的灵活性,同时又符合挑战性的预算要求。本文在澳大利亚某大学的两门社会学课程中实施BL教学法。S路径计划将受到批判性的反思。使能途径是为没有直接进入本科学位课程所需资格的人提供的免费开放课程。2019年,我们分发了一套BL模块。这些模块包括以各自学科领域的专家为特色的视觉学习对象,重点是将社会学理论带入现实世界。本文的目的是在一个广泛的参与框架内批评这种教学实践。我们将研究教育来自代表性不足背景的学生所面临的挑战,包括灵活性、参与度和基础设施,并提出一个新的教学框架,在一个支持性的环境中应对这些挑战。

Multi-intervention outreach across Law, Social Sciences, and Health Sciences: Reflections from online delivery 跨法律、社会科学和健康科学的多干预外展:来自在线交付的反思
Stephanie Jong, Laura Harvey, Kristina Garner
Multi-intervention outreach is defined as combining two or more activities into an ongoing programme of support for students at different stages of their education. This paper details three multiintervention outreach programmes in the disciplines of Law, Social Sciences, and Health Sciences. The Preparing for Law programme was designed as an in-person multi-intervention outreach programme; the Preparing for Social Sciences programme transitioned from face-to-face to online delivery, and the Preparing for Health Sciences programme was planned solely online due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The discussion draws on the experiences and reflections from three academic leads who designed and implemented the programmes. The focus of these reflections centre on programme design, resourcing and engagement, entwined with their learnings from design changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is imperative for future programme leads to consider the timing in designing a multi-intervention outreach programme, along with factors affecting participant motivation to enhance programme engagement. Additional consideration should be given to the cost-effectiveness of online/hybrid programmes.
多干预外展的定义是将两项或多项活动结合到一个持续的计划中,为处于不同教育阶段的学生提供支持。本文详细介绍了法律、社会科学和健康科学学科的三个多干预外展计划。法律准备方案被设计为一项面对面的多干预外展方案;备考社会科学课程从面对面授课过渡到在线授课,由于COVID-19大流行的限制,备考健康科学课程仅在线规划。讨论借鉴了三位设计和实施这些项目的学术带头人的经验和思考。这些反思的重点是方案设计、资源和参与,并结合他们从COVID-19大流行导致的设计变更中吸取的教训。未来的方案负责人必须考虑设计多干预外展方案的时机,以及影响参与者动机的因素,以加强方案参与。应进一步考虑在线/混合课程的成本效益。

Scientist encounters: Igniting parental aspirations to support young scientists ‐ a pilot study 科学家遭遇:点燃父母支持年轻科学家的愿望-一项试点研究
Naomi Fallon, Rory McDonald, Cherry Canovan
This paper reports findings from a pilot study undertaken at the Lancashire Science Festival to explore the impact of interacting with a scientist on parents??? attitudes towards their child pursuing a career that involves science. Parents were asked a series of questions about their science festival experience and to provide some demographic information. The key finding was that half of the respondents reported that meeting a scientist had made them more likely to think that their child could pursue a career related to science. The attitudinal shift was particularly prevalent amongst parents from low-participation backgrounds. This preliminary finding suggests that interactions between scientists and parents at public science events may offer an avenue by which to foster positive perceptions of science as a career path amongst under-represented groups.
本文报道了在兰开夏科学节上进行的一项试点研究的结果,该研究旨在探索与科学家互动对父母的影响。对孩子从事科学相关职业的态度。家长们被问及一系列关于他们科学节经历的问题,并提供了一些人口统计信息。关键的发现是,一半的受访者报告说,与科学家见面使他们更有可能认为他们的孩子可以从事与科学相关的职业。这种态度的转变在低参与背景的父母中尤为普遍。这一初步发现表明,在公共科学活动中,科学家和家长之间的互动可能提供了一条途径,通过这种途径,在代表性不足的群体中培养对科学作为职业道路的积极看法。

Financial well-being and capability of widening participation students and a text message intervention to improve it 财政福利和能力的扩大参与学生和短信干预,以改善它
Emma Stockdale, Michael Sanders
University students are frequently cited as having some of the poorest financial well-being of the adult population, particularly those from widening participation backgrounds. Therefore, in a randomised controlled field experiment in 15 higher education institutions in England, we examine the impact of a light-touch text message intervention (over 10???12 weeks) aimed at improving the financial capability and well-being of widening participation students. The results suggest that such an intervention has little impact on improving financial well-being or capability from baseline levels although some effect was found on improved financial attitudes, peer comparison and information seeking. Overall, such an intervention is too light-touch to have a meaningful impact and future interventions are likely to need to be stronger nudges, perhaps changing the context and cognition simultaneously, if meaningful impacts on financial well-being are to be achieved.
大学生经常被认为是成年人中经济状况最差的,尤其是那些有广泛参与背景的人。因此,在英国15所高等教育机构的随机对照现场实验中,我们检验了轻触短信干预(超过10???)的影响。12周),旨在提高学生的经济能力和福利。结果表明,这种干预对改善财务状况或从基线水平提高财务能力的影响很小,尽管在改善财务态度、同伴比较和信息寻求方面发现了一些影响。总的来说,这样的干预过于轻触,无法产生有意义的影响,如果要对财务状况产生有意义的影响,未来的干预可能需要更有力的推动,也许同时改变背景和认知。

A typology of social equity discourses and its contribution to a wicked problem 社会公平话语的类型学及其对一个邪恶问题的贡献
Ana Larsen
In Volume 23, Issue 1, Larsen and Emmett (2021) briefly outline the Australian political context before presenting a summary of four social equity discourses that can be seen in the literature and policy. They argue that debates surrounding these discourses are unproductive and contribute to social equity as a wicked problem in higher education. This article builds on these findings by naming the four discourses as a typology and suggests how a typology is beneficial to multiple stakeholders. This article further develops this argument by presenting evidence that social equity is indeed a wicked problem for which the typology is a small step towards solving it. Whilst this article specifically focuses on higher education in the Australian context, the ideas presented can readily be applied to higher education internationally.
在第23卷第1期中,Larsen和Emmett(2021)简要概述了澳大利亚的政治背景,然后总结了在文献和政策中可以看到的四种社会公平话语。他们认为,围绕这些话语的辩论是没有成效的,并且有助于社会公平,这是高等教育中的一个邪恶问题。本文以这些发现为基础,将四种话语命名为类型学,并建议类型学如何对多个利益相关者有益。这篇文章通过提供证据进一步发展了这一论点,证明社会公平确实是一个邪恶的问题,而类型学是解决这个问题的一小步。虽然这篇文章特别关注澳大利亚背景下的高等教育,但所提出的想法可以很容易地应用于国际高等教育。

The impact of the pandemic on widening participation students: the teaching professionals’ perspective 大流行对扩大学生参与的影响:教学专业人士的观点
Neil Raven
A number of studies have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionately adverse effect on the education of those from more disadvantaged backgrounds. However, less is known about the pandemic's impact on the educational ambitions of the same young people and their prospects for progressing to higher-level study. Although those engaged in widening access have continued to provide support to these students, the circumstantial evidence suggests that the lockdowns and school closures associated with the pandemic may have further widened the participation gap between young people from more affluent backgrounds and their less advantaged peers. Now schools have reopened and things have return to normal, there is a need to understand the progression challenges those from widening participation backgrounds face. This study seeks to do this by drawing on the insights of 14 teaching professionals from a selection of schools and colleges in the English West Midlands with catchment areas that draw heavily on disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Conducted in spring 2021, the semistructured interviews with these teachers presented an opportunity to reflect on the impact of more than 12 months of educational disruption and to consider what is now needed to widen university access.
多项研究表明,2019冠状病毒病大流行对弱势群体的教育产生了不成比例的不利影响。然而,人们对这一大流行病对这些年轻人的教育抱负以及他们升入更高层次学习的前景的影响知之甚少。尽管那些致力于扩大入学机会的人继续为这些学生提供支持,但间接证据表明,与大流行相关的封锁和学校关闭可能进一步扩大了背景较富裕的年轻人与条件较差的同龄人之间的参与差距。现在学校已经重新开放,一切都恢复了正常,有必要了解那些来自广泛参与背景的人所面临的进步挑战。这项研究试图通过借鉴14名教学专业人士的见解来做到这一点,这些专业人士来自英国西米德兰兹郡的一些学校和学院,这些学校和学院的集水区严重依赖于弱势社区。对这些教师进行的半结构化访谈于2021年春季进行,为反思12个多月教育中断的影响,并考虑现在需要做些什么来扩大大学入学机会提供了一个机会。

Higher education policies for applicants with criminal records in the United Kingdom: Are universities ‘banning the box’? 英国对有犯罪记录申请人的高等教育政策:大学是否“禁止这个盒子”?
Charlotte Brooks
In response to the introduction of the Data Protection Act (2018), the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) no longer require applicants to non-regulated degrees to disclose unspent convictions on their university applications. The UCAS application represents just one stage of the admissions process, but there are other stages where applicants′ criminal history information can be requested. This paper reports the findings from an analysis of 143 university criminal record policies to explore if, how and why applicants′ disclosures are used within the undergraduate admissions process. Findings indicate that 103 institutions continue to make it compulsory for applicants to non-regulated degrees to disclose their unspent criminal record. This requirement has the potential to create challenges for a substantial proportion of the population, should they decide to apply to university. University policies often justify the use of compulsory criminal record disclosures to support `safeguarding procedures´ or as part of their ???duty of care towards staff and students???.

为了响应《数据保护法》(2018年)的引入,大学和学院招生服务(UCAS)不再要求非监管学位的申请人在大学申请中披露未使用的定罪。UCAS申请只是招生过程的一个阶段,但在其他阶段,申请人的犯罪历史信息也可能被要求提供。本文报告了对143所大学犯罪记录政策的分析结果,以探讨申请人的披露是否、如何以及为什么在本科录取过程中被使用。调查结果显示,103所院校继续强制要求申请不受监管学位的学生披露其未支出的犯罪记录。如果他们决定申请大学,这一要求可能会给相当一部分人带来挑战。大学政策经常证明使用强制性犯罪记录披露是合理的,以支持“保护程序”或作为他们的??对员工和学生有责任。然而,大学政策没有提供任何证据或解释,表明要求申请人自我披露未动用的犯罪记录有效地支持了这些目标。因此,本文对大学对有犯罪记录的申请人的做法的合理性提出了质疑。
{"title":"Higher education policies for applicants with criminal records in the United Kingdom: Are universities ‘banning the box’?","authors":"Charlotte Brooks","doi":"10.5456/wpll.25.1.72","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5456/wpll.25.1.72","url":null,"abstract":"In response to the introduction of the Data Protection Act (2018), the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) no longer require applicants to non-regulated degrees to disclose unspent convictions on their university applications. The UCAS application represents just one stage of the admissions process, but there are other stages where applicants′ criminal history information can be requested. This paper reports the findings from an analysis of 143 university criminal record policies to explore if, how and why applicants′ disclosures are used within the undergraduate admissions process. Findings indicate that 103 institutions continue to make it compulsory for applicants to non-regulated degrees to disclose their unspent criminal record. This requirement has the potential to create challenges for a substantial proportion of the population, should they decide to apply to university. University policies often justify the use of compulsory criminal record disclosures to support `safeguarding procedures´ or as part of their ???duty of care towards staff and students???. Yet university policies provide no evidence or explanation to suggest that asking applicants to self-disclose their unspent criminal records effectively supports these aims. Consequently, this paper calls into question the rationalities universities use to justify their practices towards applicants with criminal records.","PeriodicalId":90763,"journal":{"name":"Widening participation and lifelong learning : the journal of the Institute for Access Studies and the European Access Network","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136037217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
