研究生教育的国际经验及对我国的启示

对美国的分类有针对性的研究生教育、日本产学研结合的研究生培养以及俄罗斯严谨的研究生教育进行了论述。指出我国的研究生应按学术型与专业型分类,在研究生的招生与培养上应按该两种类别区别对待,学术型研究生的培养应注重学生的选拔与指导,专业型研究生的培养要特别加强学校与企业的联合培养。     

学术团队内在价值意义共享水平与知识创新能力水平之间的关系

分析了学术团队内在价值意义共享水平与知识创新能力水平之间的关系,以及内在价值意义共享水平的前因变量,并利用调研数据进行了验证性研究。结果显示:团队内在价值意义共享水平是直接影响学术团队知识创新能力水平的重要变量,团队文化和团队激励机制是影响学术团队内在价值意义共享水平的重要因素。     

对普通高校学风建设的思考

高等教育大众化使普通高校的学风建设更显重要。高校必须营建一个有利于学生学习和成长的环境氛围 ,主要的是要加强教师教风的建设、学生学风的建设和学术气氛的创建 ,努力培养出适应社会发展和需要的高质量人才。     

To each according to their ability? Academic ranking and salary inequality across public colleges and universities

This article compares the salary structure of tenured and tenure-track faculty across schools within the university systems of North Carolina and New York. Specifically, we establish a positive relationship between school prestige and salary inequality, both overall and within specific academic ranks. This result suggests that the value to teaching is less discipline-specific than the value to research output. Marked differences in the aforementioned statistical linkage across academic ranks also confirm prior speculation that junior faculty salaries are more closely tied to academic value than senior faculty salaries.     

Research collaboration model in academic social networks

ABSTRACT

This paper proposes a hybrid collaboration recommendation method that accounts for research similarities and the previous research cooperation network. Research cooperation is measured by combining the collaboration time and the number of co-authors who already collaborated with at least one scientist. Research similarity is based on authors’ previous publications and academic events they attended. A weighted directed graph is built to discover new collaborators by using direct and indirect connections between scientists. Moreover, a consensus-based system is built to integrate bibliography data from different sources. The experimental results show that our method improves the recommendation performances over other methods.     

Is brain hemisphericity a correlate of performance in problem-solving courses? A case study from an HBCU

The authors set out to determine the brain dominance characteristics of students enrolled in business statistics courses in a historically Black university in a major southeastern Texas city. Thereafter, the authors investigated the relationship between a student’s brain hemispheric preference and academic performance in college courses, which emphasize problem solving. The results reported in this study reveal that left brain– and right brain–dominant students are at parity when it comes to performance in a problem-solving course. Moreover, both left brain– and right brain–dominant learners perform better than whole-brain dominant learners in a problem-solving course.     

The role of university Knowledge Transfer Offices: Not just commercialize research outputs!

While there is a prevailing rich body of studies on the role of university knowledge transfer office (KTO) in the commercialization process as part of the Third Mission, research on its role in community engagement activities is relatively neglected, even as funding agencies and policy makers conceive these as instrumental to sustaining social and economic development. This article focuses on the role of university KTO in supporting, facilitating or undertaking Third Mission community engagement activities. Drawing on data from the annual Higher Education Business and Community Interaction survey for the years 2007–2012, this paper empirically explores the relationship between a range of Third Mission activities by university KTO and performance of three key business-community services – provision of consultancy, provision of continuous professional development courses (CPD), and leasing of facilities and equipment (FE). It emerges that the routines of developing strategic plan and creating spin-off are positively associated with all types of community knowledge transfer (CKT) activities. Further, the routines of establishing partnerships with local and regional bodies, and licensing are positively related to CPD and FE, respectively. The article is concluded with implications for theory, practice, policy, and suggestions for future research.     

日本介护从业者工资影响因素分析

本文利用日本介护劳动安定中心实施的2012年介护劳动实态调查中的劳动者调查样本数据,尝试对影响介护从业者工资的因素进行分析。其中,着重对学历、资格的取得、入职后的研修与工资的关系进行了讨论。在学历方面,把学历细分为6个等级(分别为是否为福祉相关专业的高中毕业、大专毕业、大学及以上学历毕业)。观察出大学及以上学历毕业具有学历溢价表现。在资格的取得方面,把资格细分为11个种类,但正规就业与灵活就业的表现有所不同。正规就业中,介护福祉士、访问介护员1级资格的取得与工资有着密切关系。灵活就业中,介护支援专员、护士、理疗师资格更为重要。在入职后的研修方面,无论是正规就业还是灵活就业都表现出了研修的重要性。     

我国保险理论研究态势及其国际比较——基于学术期刊载文的分析

本文在剖析《保险研究》和JRI、RMIR、GRIR四份国内外保险学术期刊近五年来刊载的上千篇论文资料和引文资料的基础上,比较了中外保险理论研究的异同。作者结合保险特色,从研究内容(研究主题、研究险种),研究单位,文献、期刊和学科(影响保险理论研究的文献和期刊、影响保险理论研究的学科)等方面展开分析,结论主要以数据图表展现。本文希望引发有益我国保险理论研究的启示与思考。     

研究生学术不端行为的成因分析与对策研究

学术道德是科学研究的基本伦理规范,目前,我国研究生学术道德建设方面存在不少问题,学术不端行为时有发生。急功近利的社会风气助长了研究生学术不端行为;过分量化的指标和奖惩性的评价机制不利于研究生学术道德建设;对学术诚信认识不足直接导致研究生学术不端行为的发生。论文就此探讨了相应的研究生学术道德建设策略。
