The Cape Verdean education since independence has undergone several changes in order to increase access to education and provide teachers with specific training. Reforms and educational policies in Cape Verde in turn have demanded increasingly higher teacher qualifications and highlighted their role in improving the quality of education. In this sense, in 2010, the Decree Legislative n.2 / 2010, increased teacher training for basic education in superior level. Therefore, the research sought to understand the implications of universitarization process in the formation of Cape Verdean teachers of basic education (mostly with a single mid-level training), after attending an undergraduate complement course at University Institute Education. As a research methodology was adopted a qualitative approach of the analytical-descriptive and interpretative-critical, based on the analysis of semi-structured interviews with the studentes and the coordinators. Their research shows the emphasis of technical rationality; in teacher training; the discontinuity of educational policies regarding the training of teachers and consequently in education; the notion of competence in the training of teachers related the demands of the labor market and a flexible professional. On the other hand, we found that teacher training is a continuous process, composed of various elements in addition to formal courses; It is not as easy demarcation of functions of initial and continuing education, and the course played a dual purpose as an initial training course, with continued training function. In addition, the University Institute of Education, although it does not represent the full motion universitarization, presents elements that show that this phenomenon is in full development.
A educação cabo-verdiana, desde a independência do país, passou por várias mudanças no sentido de ampliar o acesso à Educação e fornecer aos professores uma formação específica. As reformas e as políticas educacionais em Cabo Verde, por sua vez, têm exigido, cada vez mais, uma maior qualificação dos professores e realçado o papel desses na melhoria da qualidade do ensino. Nesse sentido, em 2010, o Decreto- -Legislativo nº 2/2010 elevou a formação de professores para o Ensino Básico em nível superior. Por conseguinte, a pesquisa buscou compreender as repercussões do processo de universitarização na formação de professores cabo-verdianos do Ensino Básico (em sua maioria com uma única formação de nível médio), após a frequência de um curso de complemento de licenciatura no Instituto Universitário de Educação. Como metodologia de pesquisa, foi adotada a abordagem qualitativa do tipo analítico- -descritivo e interpretativo-crítico, tendo por base a análise de entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas com alunos que frequentaram cursos de complemento de licenciatura no Instituto Universitário de Educação e professoras/coordenadoras dos respectivos cursos. A pesquisa comprovou a ênfase da racionalidade técnica na formação de professores; a descontinuidade das políticas educacionais e seus desdobramentos no tocante à formação de professores e, consequentemente, na Educação e, ainda, a noção de competência na formação de professores relacionada às demandas do mercado de trabalho e de um profissional flexível. Por outro lado, constatamos que a formação de professores é um processo contínuo, composto de vários elementos além de cursos formalizados, não sendo tão fácil delimitar as funções de formação inicial e continuada, tendo o curso investigado desempenhado um duplo objetivo como um curso de formação inicial e com função de formação continuada. O Instituto Universitário de Educação, embora não represente o movimento completo de universitarização, apresenta elementos que mostram que esse fenômeno está em pleno desenvolvimento.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of the thesis is to investigate the readiness characteristics that determine risk for either failure or withdrawal before students enter university. These relationships are investigated and explained with a literature discussion that includes readiness for university education, student transition, retention and withdrawal theory. The motivation for this research emanates against the challenges that the South African Higher Education in general faces as well as the demands placed on the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences to supply for the high demand for well equipped financial service professionals. The research project was completed in three phases. In the first phase a structured questionnaire was developed to measure the non-cognitive factors relating to readiness for university education. The purpose of the ‘Academic Readiness Questionnaire’ is to function as a screening test for first-year students that enter university. The Academic Readiness Questionnaire went through a scientific process of test development and standardisation. The overall Cronbach’s alpha for the questionnaire is 0.87, which indicates good internal consistency reliability for the scale with this sample. In the second phase the Academic Readiness Questionnaire was administered to the 2008 cohort of first-time entering students from the faculty of Economic and Management Sciences during the first-year orientation week. The total number of students in the sample is 829 students. In the third phase the students who withdrew from their studies were interviewed telephonically. A total of 42 students were interviewed to determine the salient reasons for withdrawal. Quantitative data were analysed using various descriptive and inferential statistical methods. These include factor analysis, regression analysis and multiway frequency analysis. The telephonic interviews were analysed with content analysis. The main findings reveal that the readiness characteristics show a direct relationship with academic success and intention to withdraw. The number of variables able to predict risk for either failure or withdrawal differ. More variables show a significant relationship with risk for failure than for withdrawal. Furthermore, the research results show that African students have higher academic achievement and are less likely to withdraw, when compared to white students. African students also tend to have higher academic success, compared to white students. The differences in academic success and withdrawal rates among African and white students are due to high school achievement and the number of credits the students register for. White students are also more likely to withdraw voluntarily, mostly within the first couple of weeks or months mainly due to choosing an incorrect study choice.

Abstract (sommario):

The thesis consists of five papers: three deal with the efficiency of higher education institutions (HEI) and two with entrepreneurship among university graduates. The efficiency of HEIs is analyzed at three different levels: units of one university, universities of one country and universities of a group of European countries. Using data envelopment analysis (DEA) the first paper compares technical efficiency among university units at the Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm). An interesting result is that there seems to be a complementary relationship between efficiency of resource utilization in teaching and in research. The second paper applies stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to estimate the cost efficiency of Swedish higher education institutions. According to the estimates, half of the Swedish HEIs have an above average efficiency of 85 percent. The efficiency differences are mainly influenced by the source of funding, HEI size, the number of students per faculty as well as faculty and student compositions. The third paper analyses the cost efficiency of universities among a set of public higher education institutions from six European countries by means of stochastic frontier techniques. The results suggest small variation in the mean economic efficiency of higher education institutions from UK, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Switzerland, implying that the efficiency differences are not explained by country effects. Instead the variations in efficiency are related to organizational differences. The two essays on entrepreneurship among university graduates are based on a unique dataset encompassing individual level data on all employees registered in the Swedish labor market. The first paper explores the differences in entrepreneurial choice of graduates from different universities. The main finding from this paper is that the entrepreneurial choice of graduates from internationally ranked Swedish universities systematically differs from others with the difference varying by the area of education. The second paper on entrepreneurship aims at explaining the high interest in entrepreneurship among arts graduates and finds that the need for self-expression is among the main motivations for their high interest in entrepreneurship.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis addresses UK students’ university choice using discrete choice methods and micro-data obtained from Higher Education Statistical Agency for graduates between 2006 and 2010. The thesis consists of three chapters with each addressing a different aspect of students’ choice. The studies are intended to provide policy-makers and other decision-makers with valuable information that will help them to implement strategies and policies for better higher education. Some work in the literature has been dedicated to students’ university choice. This thesis explores this body of work and builds on it, extends it and improves what is previously known in the literature. The aim of the first chapter is to investigate what affects students’ university choice. It contributes to the literature by establishing the best method to do so. Two models are used: the standard conditional logit and conditional logit with, what is called in this paper, alternative specific constants. Conditional logit with alternative specific constants improves on conditional logit twofold: it deals with unobserved university characteristics and improves the model fit. The results show that the probability of attending a university decreases with an increase in tuition fees and distance between students’ home and the university, and decreases in students’ socio-economic status. The second chapter further investigates the importance of distance on students’ university choice and it contributes to the literature by calculating the willingness to pay of students for distance to university. The chosen models are estimated for different socio-economic group of students separately. This methodology allows for meaningful comparison between socio-economic groups and produces more reliable estimates due to the fact that it accommodates for different unobserved characteristics of universities for different groups of students. The results show that students with the highest socio-economic status are not affected or have a positive utility of distance. The willingness to pay of other socio-economic groups are mixed and depend on the university characteristics used in the model. The third chapter focuses on students’ attitudes towards costs and benefits of university degree by calculating the discount rate of future income using marginal utility of graduate income and tuition fees. In addition, the chapter shows how use of consideration sets of universities for each student improves the model fit. The results show that students have a normal discount rate around 1% without consideration sets. The discount rate becomes negative in all models apart from one, when consideration sets are used.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Kazakhstan's higher education system is based on the Soviet governance structure, limited academic freedom and no autonomy from the state. In such a system faculties are contract employees delivering predesigned courses with no incentive to bring new ideas and methods. But employers and the general public are concerned with the mismatch between market demand and curricula of universities. Qualitative research based on two case studies collected evidence on the opportunities for faculty to influence academic affairs of the two most prominent research universities in Kazakhstan. The study gave a detailed picture of state controls, hierarchical structures and limited role of faculty at the higher education institutions under investigation. The national universities of Kazakhstan were also compared with the University of West Florida, a public research university of similar size which is based on academic freedom, shared governance and faculty authority over academic matters. Conceptual framework for the analysis is based on the theory that university governance differs from other organizations in its involvement of faculty in decision making on academic affairs. The power is shared with faculty because of their recognized knowledge and authority in teaching and research in their particular professional fields.

The study identified that the national universities in Kazakhstan are established regulated and run like government organizations with a hierarchical structure. The existing centralized and stricter controlled environment results in frustrated and demotivated faculty who are not able to produce good quality teaching and research. Universities are required to produce similar academic programs and courses and offer a limited number of majors approved by the inter-ministerial committee. Structures of degree programs are set according to State Standards and contain certain share of mandatory courses which are provided by the Ministry. The universities are managed by the rectors who have wide powers especially in hiring and promotion of faculty as well as on other academic matters.

The research identified a number of shortcomings and mismatches with international theory and international best practice. If national universities are to develop they have to be allowed to compete and have freedom to innovate. The national universities need the governing boards to be introduced. Increasing faculty participation will be central to promoting key values of higher education such as academic freedom, autonomy and transparency. Empowering faculty will contribute to their greater responsibility and engagement in developing higher education institutions and their core functions of teaching, research and community service.

Abstract (sommario):

According to a report published in 2015, the National Center for Education estimated that over 20 million students were forecasted to enroll in higher education in the 2016–17 school year, situating American universities as major institutional food retailers. Over the past two decades, corporate food providers have increasingly sought long-term public and private university contracts as a means to expand their reach into lucrative campus food landscapes (foodscapes), replacing in-house services with cheaper, more “efficient, and “productive” dining strategies. Companies such as Sodexo, Aramark, and Bon Appetit control the foodscapes of many university campuses across the United States, creating food environments dominated by corporate interests.

However, at the same time these corporate food service providers have colonized university food terrains, a growing movement of consumers concerned with ethical food sourcing have driven students across the United States to seek alternatives to dominant food sourcing strategies on their campuses. In a context of increased corporate control over their university foodscapes, student across the US have launched campaigns aiming to develop and establish student food cooperatives (SFCs), organizations seeking to assert the availability of sustainable, ethical, and healthy food options on campus in addition to pushing for more student decision-making power within their university food environments (Marsden, 2000).

It is within this context that my thesis aims to explore if and how student food cooperatives are creating new spaces for food sovereignty and if they are democratizing the control over their university food systems through campus based food initiatives.

Abstract (sommario):

Innovations and changes in higher education paradigm are related to the idea of lifelong learning and application of information communication technologies in learning process. Information literacy is a phenomenon conditioned by modern life realia, related to the newest technologies and abundance of information. It appears to be one of the means of modernization of university education. The issue of information literacy at the university level in Lithuania has not been researched in more depth so far. Integration of information literacy into the curriculum of higher education is a key question closely related to the shift in the idea of the university mission and to the transformations of being and functioning in the knowledge-based society. The dissertation addresses the issue of information literacy integration into the curriculum of higher education. The integration of information literacy into university curriculum creates preconditions for quality improvement in teaching and learning processes. The research reveals the topicality of standardization of information literacy at university education as the way to modernize it. The dissertation presents a phenomenographic research into students’ information literacy conception. The expert study results reveal university teachers and librarians’ attitude towards information literacy and its need at university. The comparative analysis based on the mode of study and gender reflects differences in students’ information literacy... [to full text]
Universiteto struktūra, strategija, mokymo tikslai ir mokymo(si) metodai keičiasi drauge su visuomenėje vykstančia pažanga, kai šalia kitų funkcijų universitetui patikėta mokymosi visą gyvenimą misija. Plačios ir sparčios kaitos kontekste naujas ugdymo turinys skatina naujai pažvelgti į studijų procesą, ieškoti būdų ir priemonių kaip jį tobulinti. Siekį keisti studijų paradigmą lemia: a) išoriniai (globalizacija, informacinių technologijų plitimas) ir b) vidiniai (noras tobulėti, kelti kvalifikaciją, siekti žinių) veiksniai. Lietuvos tyrėjai, analizavę universitetinių studijų procesą, skiria didelį dėmesį kompetencijų apibrėžčiai, jų sandarai, kuri glaudžiai siejama su mokymo ir mokymosi strategijomis universitetinėse studijose, universitetinių studijų kokybe ir jos vertinimu, inovacinių mokymosi metodų taikymu universitetinėse studijose, suaugusiųjų mokymosi ir mokymosi visą gyvenimą dimensijomis, mokymosi ir universitetinių studijų santykiu.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis analyses the reflections on UK university Business Studies courses of Nepalese graduates who choose to return home to Nepal after graduating. It considers the personal and cultural influences on educational decision-making that led them to choosing to study in the UK and their post-graduation employment expectations. The primary research was undertaken at a time when UK universities were facing increasing competition to recruit international students and numbers of Nepalese students choosing to study in the UK had dropped. In addition, Nepalese graduates choosing to return home were faced with scarcity of employment opportunities due to political uncertainty and improvements to local higher education. The qualitative, inductive research was based on semi-structured interviews which took place in Nepal with twenty-three Nepalese graduates, their Nepalese employers and Nepalese education consultancies. Data was analysed using the ecological, five systems model of Bronfenbrenner (1979) and Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner’s (2012) Intercultural Awareness Profiling (IAP) of graduates. In addition to identifying five major themes and associate themes, the findings extend beyond existing “push-pull” models by identifying how a graduate’s understanding of cultural orientation affects their decision-making. Although the overall expectations of Nepalese students and employers towards UK higher education remain positive, results indicated a lowering in their estimation of the quality and reputation of UK universities. The outcomes of the research make a valuable contribution to the knowledge of how and why international, specifically Nepalese, students choose overseas higher education. The findings also establish why Nepalese employers are struggling to see clear benefits from employing UK educated Nepalese business graduates. Recommendations are made for changes to be implemented to business studies courses to help university practitioners better meet the needs and expectations of future Nepalese students, graduates and employers. These recommendations reflect a deeper understanding of educational decision-making of international students.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract The goal of this thesis is to investigate whether the performance management systems of the university education process can be developed by using the mechanisms and indicators of operations management. This thesis is a result of a multiple-case study consisting of two polar cases: the Faculty of Technology and the Faculty of Humanities in the University of Oulu. Both faculties have several departments which constitute separate cases. This study explores the elements of the performance management systems used by the Ministry of Education during the first decade of the 21st century and considers whether these performance management systems have affected the university education process. First, the existing research is examined to understand what kind of factors affect the controllability and performance management of organisations. Furthermore, an empirical study was conducted on how the control mechanisms of the Ministry of Education reflect the main variable of controllability analysis. After that, the changes in the education processes in the various departments of the two faculties were examined using a controllability analysis. The results indicate that the financial models of the Ministry of Education reflect to some extent the main variables of controllability analysis. However, the models focus almost solely on output indicators. The Ministry of Education should consider expanding the models to include input and process variables. During the 21st century the number of university drop-outs has increased dramatically. This indicates that the process has become more ineffective. The focus of control has shifted from control of the quality of input to the quantity of the output. The finances of the Faculty of Humanities have decreased and it has had to adapt to the financial model of the Ministry of Education by seeking financial flexibility and by changing the production process (decreasing the number of new students, giving a more restricted variety of courses, restricting the maximum amount of credits). The Faculty of Technology faces a different situation. Most notably, the Department of Electrical Engineering has faced the problem of rapid growth. This has caused problems related to the quality of material (students), insufficient capacity and the inability to produce the volumes that the Ministry of Education desired. The Department of Electrical Engineering therefore made its own decision to decrease the number of new students. The reason for this was different from that of the Faculty of Humanities. The Department of Electrical Engineering was not able to increase the production volume to a sufficient level. The Faculty of Humanities instead had a problem of overproduction. The Ministry of Education does not compensate for production that is over its targets
Tiivistelmä Tämän väitöskirjan tavoitteena on tutkia, voidaanko yliopistojen opetusprosessin suorituskyvyn johtamista kehittää käyttämällä tuotannonohjauksen menetelmiä ja indikaattoreita. Tämä väitöskirja muodostuu useista esimerkkitapauksista, jotka ryhmittyvät kahden toisilleen vastakkaisen tapaustutkimuksen alle: Oulun yliopiston teknillinen tiedekunta ja humanistinen tiedekunta. Molemmissa tiedekunnissa on useita laitoksia, jotka ovat jo sinällään itsenäisiä esimerkkitapauksia. Tässä tutkimuksessa kartoitetaan opetusministeriön 2000-luvun alussa yliopistojen suorituskyvyn johtamiseen käyttämiä menetelmiä ja pohditaan niiden vaikutuksia yliopistojen opetusprosessiin. Aluksi kartoitettiin olemassa olevien tutkimusten pohjalta niitä tekijöitä, jotka vaikuttavat organisaation ohjattavuuteen ja suorituskyvyn johtamiseen. Seuraavaksi selvitettiin empiirisen tutkimuksen avulla, miten opetusministeriön käyttämät ohjausmenetelmät heijastelevat ohjattavuusanalyysin keskeisiä tekijöitä. Lopuksi molempien tiedekuntien laitoksilla toteutettiin ohjattavuusanalyysi opetusprosessissa tapahtuneiden muutosten selvittämiseksi. Tulosten perusteella voidaan todeta, että opetusministeriön ohjausmallit heijastelevat jossain määrin ohjattavuusanalyysin keskeisiä muuttujia. Mallit keskittyvät kuitenkin lähes kokonaan prosessin loppupäähän eli tuloksiin. Ministeriön tulisikin harkita syöte- ja prosessimuuttujien lisäämistä malliin. 2000-luvun ensimmäisellä vuosikymmenellä opintonsa keskeyttäneiden määrä on kasvanut merkittävästi. Tämä kuvastaa sitä, että prosessista on tullut aiempaa tehottomampi. Ohjauksen painopiste on siirtynyt opiskelijavalinnan laadusta tutkintojen määrään. Humanistisen tiedekunnan rahoitus on vähentynyt tutkimusjaksolla ja tiedekunta on pyrkinyt sopeutumaan opetusministeriön rahoitusmalliin etsimällä taloudellista liikkumavaraa ja muuttamalla opetusprosessia (pienentämällä sisäänottoa, kaventamalla kurssitarjontaa ja rajoittamalla tutkinnon kokonaisopintopistemäärää). Teknillisen tiedekunnan lähtökohdat ovat erilaiset. Ennen kaikkea sähkötekniikan osasto on joutunut sopeutumaan nopeaan kasvuun. Tämän on aiheuttanut ongelmia mm. opiskelijoiden osaamistasossa, kapasiteetin puutteena ja kyvyttömyytenä päästä opetusministeriön asettamiin tutkintotavoitteisiin. Sähkötekniikan osasto päätti edellä mainituista syistä pienentää sisäänottoa. Osaston päätös perustui siten eri syihin kuin humanistisen tiedekunnan vastaava ratkaisu. Sähkötekniikan osasto ei pystynyt kasvattamaan opetusprosessin volyymia riittävälle tasolle. Humanistinen tiedekunta sen sijaan kärsi ylituotannosta. Opetusministeriö ei korvaa tavoitteet ylittäviä tutkintomääriä

Abstract (sommario):

This study arose out of a research project on teacher education in England and Wales which was funded by the Department of Education and Science and which was based at the University of Leicester School of Education from 1979 to 1982. The study aimed to explore the ambivalence and ambiguity which, the literature suggested, were inherent in the enterprise of training teachers in universities. Empirical data on university teachers of education were collected by questionnaire and interview and the findings are considered within a number ofS contexts. In university departments of education university teachers train students to become school teachers. The first context examined in the study is the sociology of occupations which is used as a framework within which to compare and contrast the two occupations of university teaching and school teaching. University teachers and school teachers are thus established as reference groups for university teachers of education. Next the study considers the role of these reference groups within the context of the history of teacher education in the universities. In the central part of the study data on the social, educational and occupational backgrounds of university teachers of education are considered in relation to the two reference groups of school teachers and university teachers. Data on the nature of the work undertaken by university teachers of education are also examined in this context. The study then explores the context of occupational constraint and control, comparing and contrasting teacher education in the universities with university teaching in other subjects and with school teaching. The role of ideology in teacher education is then analysed as a context within which to view the nature of ideology in teacher education in the universities, again drawing on empirical data from questionnaires and interviews. In the final chapter additional data are presented to bring together the findings and interpretations presented in the body of the study.

Abstract (sommario):

In 2002 a contractually differentiated teaching–focused post, University Teacher (UT), was created within my Russell Group HEI. This interpretivist study seeks to explore the impact of the ‘lived experience’ of this recent post on both myself and a group of 11 colleagues, some of whom were transferred and others employed as UTs. A narrative approach is adopted to evaluate existing public stories of the UK HE sector and changing definitions of academic functions and identities alongside original private stories, both my own and those co-constructed with participants. My primary research comprised in-depth narrative interviews with four Senior UTs, six UTs and one research-focused Lecturer recently transferred from a UT post. The interviews sought to elicit participants’ storied accounts of professional identity construction and management on the career paths towards their current posts and beyond. The interview data was examined reflexively using a pragmatic hybrid model based on a range of narrative analytic lenses: structural and linguistic narrative analysis of three case studies, together with thematic analysis of narratives across all 11 interviews. The participants shared highly personal, emotional and reflective accounts. The case study analysis centred on the identification and scrutiny of overarching plotlines, key episodes, genres and characterisation. The thematic analysis revealed common concerns around the job title, the relative weightings and status of teaching and scholarship, the nature of scholarship and career progression. The complex connection between intra-, inter-, cultural and structural dimensions proved key; personal values and agency, relationships with peers and managers, and institutional and sectoral priorities were all essential to the achievement of a progressive, as opposed to a regressive or static, UT identity typology. UTs clearly had some control over their own agency. However, institutional leaders and line managers were seen to have more significant power to promote or inhibit identity growth for academics on differentiated contracts. Changes have recently been made to the UT post in relation to the job title and promotion criteria. In the conclusions I suggest that further research is needed on the effect of these changes and on the impact of contractual differentiation on staff and students across the HE sector. Implications for institutions and staff on how to facilitate teaching-focused academics’ positive identity growth are also put forward.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose. The purposes of this study were to determine: (a) to what extent does faculty burnout exist within the California State University (CSU) system; (b) the correlation between faculty burnout and various demographic factors; (c) the correlation of the measured variables of burnout as related to self-perceptions; and (d) the dimensions of burnout within the CSU system. Procedures. Full-time faculty from each of the 19 CSU campuses were surveyed. Two questionnaires were used to canvass respondents' feelings of burnout: (a) Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and (b) Faculty Feeling Survey. The number of responses analyzed was 370. Findings. Comparing the CSU faculty with MBI norms, CSU faculty scores indicated fewer feelings of being overworked, mentally exhausted, and experiencing ambivalence toward recipients of their services. Respondents' scores indicated slightly higher feelings of personal accomplishment as compared to the MBI norms. Comparing CSU faculty scores with various demographic data, the findings show no significant difference among the 19 campuses, department size, marital status, and the highest degree earned. Demographic variables which indicated significance were the job classification of Assistant Professor reporting the lowest burnout on both Personal Accomplishment subscales; tenure track faculty were less burned out and experienced higher personal accomplishment; newer faculty experienced lower burnout on Personal Accomplishment-Intensity subscale; females rated higher burnout on both Emotional Exhaustion subscales than males, yet more personal accomplishment. The 31 to 40 age group reported the lowest burnout on Personal Accomplishment subscales; Blacks indicated lower burnout on Personal Accomplishment-Frequency subscale; and faculty in their present job for five years or less demonstrated higher burnout on both Emotional Exhaustion subscales. Faculty with 6 to 10 years total teaching experience displayed higher burnout on Depersonalization-Frequency; faculty missing more work days reflected higher burnout on Emotional Exhaustion-Frequency; and the majority of faculty who had not taken a sabbatical revealed they were less burned out on the Personal Accomplishment-Intensity subscale than did those who had taken a sabbatical.

Abstract (sommario):

Focus plays an integral role in learning, performance and living across a variety of applied settings (Abernethy, 2001; Orlick, 2008; Werthner, 2002). The purpose of this intervention study was to evaluate to impact of a focus enhancement intervention project delivered in a university classroom context. Interpretive phenomenological analysis of 10 participants' journal from an applied sport and performance psychology course drew out participant's experiences with focus enhancement (Smith & Osborn, 2008). Essential elements of improved focus included exclusive thoughts, present moment focus and sense of connection. The enhanced focus experience emerged as a learning cycle of preparation, action, reflection and lessons learned utilizing goal setting, relaxation techniques, cue words, shifting to a positive focus and creating an optimal focus environment and. These findings have broad potential implications in many life areas.

Abstract (sommario):

A gap in research on the impact of a university-based laboratory school on a campus-based educator preparation program and a decrease in the number of university-based laboratory schools requires current laboratory school programs to evaluate strengths and weaknesses to provide quality evaluative data to ensure continued viability. This qualitative study sought to expand the extant research by identifying perceptions of stakeholders, educator preparation program students, faculty, administrators, and laboratory school teachers, parents, and administrators—to examine the impact of a laboratory school on an educator preparation program. The case study outlined stakeholder perceptions at one university and one laboratory school and investigated the perceptions of stakeholders regarding the impact of a university-based laboratory school to a campus-based educator preparation program. Four major themes emerged related to the impact of a laboratory school on an educator preparation program include: experimentation, early practice and ability to bridge theory to practice, expertise of faculty and teachers, and safety and support of environment to practice new learning. A fifth overarching theme was identified as significant to research: complexity of the organization.

Koch, Meg. "University supervisors and culturally responsive teaching". Thesis, Lewis and Clark College, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3734708.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Culturally responsive teaching is seen as a promising practice that will enhance teachers’ ability to meet the needs of today’s diverse student population. The purpose of this study was to understand how White supervisors talk about race and culture in the classroom, and in regard to their role of preparing pre-service teachers. Because supervisors’ work is grounded in student teachers’ classrooms, they are uniquely positioned to respond to specific incidents in the student teacher’s experience and thereby have a primary role in shaping teachers’ instructional practices.

This dissertation research examined 12 White university supervisors. Prior to this study, supervisors participated in professional development offered by the college aimed at raising awareness of culturally responsive teaching. The professional development was part of Griffin, Watson, and Liggett’s (2014) initial study, and offered opportunities for supervisors to discuss topics of race, culture, ethnicity, class, and gender, and to engage in reading Gay’s (2010) text: Culturally Responsive Teaching: Theory, Research, and Practice. Griffin et al. collected data, including a pre- and post-survey, a November interview, and artifacts from the professional development. Their study established the starting point for this research.

All 12 supervisors were interviewed following participation in the professional development. Findings indicated supervisors defined and described culturally responsive teaching by relying on elements congruent with the literature. Even when supervisors used language similar to Gay (2010), they held misconceptions and formed incomplete definitions about culturally responsive teaching. Other findings indicated supervisors lacked a clear vision in their role in supporting culturally responsive teaching. Lastly, supervisors used hegemonic understandings when talking about race and culture. The results of this study suggest supervisors need more opportunities to talk about race and culture, and their role in preparing culturally responsive teachers.

Abstract (sommario):

The Concert Choir has been the flagship choral ensemble of Stetson University, a private, liberal arts university in DeLand, Florida, since 1935. The choir has traveled extensively throughout the southeast United States and twice abroad, serving as ambassadors for Stetson University. This study documents Stetson University's early history, the first few decades of choral activity at Stetson University, and the complete history of the Concert Choir through the tenure of Milburn Price. The study explores 1) the individuals, events, and institutions leading to the formation of the Concert Choir, 2) the philosophy and purpose of the Concert Choir, 3) the individuals, events and institutions that have shaped that philosophy and purpose, and 4) the ways in which the Spring Concert repertoire of the Concert Choir reflects the ensemble's philosophy and purpose.

The three major conductors of the Concert Choir, occupying 71 of the last 77 years, were Harold Giffin (1935-1972), Robert Rich (1972-1989), and Duncan Couch (1989-2006). Giffin was responsible for combining the separate glee clubs into one performing ensemble, performing Handel's Messiah annually for twenty-five years, and instituting an extensive touring schedule throughout the United States. The performances at the National Federation of Music Clubs (1939), New York City's Lincoln Center (1967), and the recording session that was broadcast coast-to-coast with NBC in Chicago (1953) were three of Giffin's tours that were most significant. Rich was the first alumnus of the Concert Choir to be hired as Director of Choral Activities and conducted the ensemble for their first ACDA convention performance in 1974. During his tenure, the High School Choral Clinic and Christmas Candlelight Concert, modeled after the English Lessons and Carols, were started and have continued annually throughout the scope of this study. Couch grew the popularity of both the clinic and the Candlelight Concert, took the Concert Choir on two European concert tours, and cultivated collaborations with many professional orchestras.

This study concludes that the Concert Choir is a choral organization influenced by the sacred a cappella choral traditions; however, it was not dominated by it. This study further identifies that the development of the annual Christmas Candlelight Concert and spring tour were foundational for the choir's activities each year. Documentation illustrates each director's willingness to accept this heritage and develop the Concert Choir accordingly throughout its history.
