Do Perceptions of Costs and Benefits of Post-secondary Education Influence Participation?
Authors: Côté James , Skinkle Rod , Motte Anne
Published: April 2021

Despite the continuing accumulation of knowledge of the factors in- fluencing participation in post-secondary education, there are still gaps in our understanding. For example, very little is known regarding how perceptions of costs and benefits are implicated in an individual’s decision to pursue college or university studies, and whether certain perceptions hamper access among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This paper presents results from a research programme designed to develop and evaluate an operationalization of “perceived return on investment” (PRoI) in post-secondary education, based on students’ subjective considerations of costs and benefits. These results are derived from two key research questions: is it possible to reliably measure high school students’ perceived return on investment in a post-secondary education, and does the measurement of these perceptions predict actual post-secondary participation? Results show that PRoI can be measured satisfactorily and is predictive of university attendance, net of other factors currently known to influence participation. The “perceptual horizon effect” model is proposed to account for both positive and negative perceptions of returns on investment.
Ontario’s University Tuition Framework: A History and Current Policy Issues
Authors: Boggs Andrew Michael
Published: April 2021

Policy-makers and institutional administrators have long struggled with the question of college and university student tuition fees. In many ways this struggle may be characterized as a negotiation between two distinct policy goals: providing revenue to adequately finance higher education and ensuring student accessibility to higher education. The Government of Ontario has wrestled with these competing questions, resulting in major changes to tuition policy over the last 10 years. This article discusses the history of tuition policy in Ontario, recent developments, and outstanding policy challenges relating to institutional behaviour toward the current policy, set to expire in 2009–10.
The Determinants of University Participation in Canada (1977–2003)
Authors: Christofides Louis N. , Hoy Michael , Yang Ling
Published: April 2021

The decision to attend university is influenced by a large set of factors, ranging from economic considerations that affect affordability to family characteristics such as parental education levels. We examine the relationship between university participation and various economic and non-economic variables over the past twenty-five years in Canada. We quantify the importance of the various factors in the data sets available to us in order to understand trends in university participation and, in particular, to take account of the increasingly greater propensity of young women than men to attend university.
The “Second Academic Revolution”: Interpretations of Academic Entrepreneurship
Authors: Zheng Peijun
Published: April 2021

The number and scope of faculty and institutions involved in academic entrepreneurship continues to expand, and this has significant implications for universities, involving potentially wonderful opportunities but also dire risks. This paper looks beyond academic capitalism, a theory that currently dominates the study of higher education, by introducing several other theoretical frameworks for interpretation of academic entrepreneurship: resource dependence theory, the Triple Helix model, and Mode 2 knowledge production. Acknowledging the fact that academic capitalism significantly furthers our understanding of academic entrepreneurship, I argue that these other conceptual propositions are constructive in enlightening perspectives on the various aspects of academic entrepreneurship, although as of yet no single work completely explains all facets of this complicated issue.
Match Between Pre- and Postmigration Education among New Immigrants: Determinants and Payoffs
Authors: Girard Magali
Published: April 2021

The objective of this paper is to understand the transition between immigrants’ premigration education and their educational trajectories once in Canada, and the return on investment in postmigration education in terms of employment status and earnings. The data come from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada. Using multinomial logistic regressions and fixed effects regressions, we found that: a third of new immigrants with postsecondary training pursue their education during their early years in Canada; those who are admitted to Canada because of their high levels of skills, namely the principal applicants in the skilled workers category, are more likely to pursue their education; and those who enrol do not see an immediate benefit in terms of their earnings. This is further evidence of the lack of foreign credential recognition in Canada, which delays entry into highly  paid occupations and delays full participation in the Canadian economy.
The Ideological Orientations of Canadian University Professors
Authors: Nakhaie M. Reza , Brym Robert J.
Published: April 2021

This paper analyzes the ideological orientations of Canadian university professors based on a unique 2000 study of a representative sample of Canadian academics (n=3,318). After summarizing methodological problems with extant research on this subject, and tentatively comparing the political views of Canadian and American academics, the paper demonstrates that Canadian academics fall to the left of the political spectrum but are not hugely different in this respect from the Canadian university-educated population. Multivariate analyses reveal considerable heterogeneity in the ideological views of Canadian professors, suggesting that contemporary characterizations of the North American professoriate as left- or right-leaning tend to be overdrawn. Multivariate analyses demonstrate the importance of disadvantaged status and disciplinary socialization in shaping professors’ ideological views, although self-selection processes are not discounted.
Using findings from the performance appraisal literature to inform the evaluation of students in higher education
Authors: Mann Sara L.
Published: April 2021

Decades of research in the management literature have guided managers on how to effectively motivate their employees, increase the performance of their employees, and evaluate the performance of their employees. Many of these findings could be applied to higher education, both in research and in practice. More specifically, the findings on performance management and evaluation in the management literature could be integrated into the literature on higher education. This integration could prove beneficial for academics, institutions, and students alike. This article provides recommendations for educators and opportunities for future research.
Determining the University's Goals: the Setting of the Problem
Authors: Campbell Duncan D.
Published: April 2021

The Canadian university has moved from a decade of rapid expansion, accompanied by general public approval, to the so-called "steady state," of the 1970's, characterized by sharp public questioning of its directions and of its relevance. Criticism from both public and academics alike centres on the lack of consensus within the institution as to its purposes. Certain major factors have the potential to influence a university's choice of goals. Some of these flow out of the network of relationships of the university with its external environment while others stem from the social world of the institution itself. The paper concludes that, given expressions of public concern and what appear to be basic shifts in the fabric of Canadian society — and thus of its requirements of higher education - the re-consideration of institutional goals has become vital.
Some Social Characteristics of CEGEP Graduates'
Authors: Dennis Ann B.
Published: April 2021

As part of the "Quiet Revolution" in Quebec in the 1960's, changes have occurred both in the educational structures and in the population undertaking post-secondary studies. A new post-secondary institution, the CEGEP, has been introduced. As a preliminary step in the study of accessibility to the CEGEP, the social class, ethnicity and sex of its graduates are related to their course of study at CEGEP and their subsequent work or educational activi- ties. There were no clear-cut patterns of ethnic or social class differences in choice of specialisation. Although field of specialisation remained strongly sex-linked, women constitu- ted a significant proportion of the graduates. Social classes continued to be distributed inequitably in the student population, although the disparities varied with ethnicity, being least in the case of those whose origins were neither English nor French. The pre-university programme, as intended, wax being treated as part of a cycle of post-secondary education, and suitable employment for graduates of the terminal, vocational programmes was not a problem.
Failsafe Education
Authors: Lee John Alan
Published: April 2021

A third ideal-typical normative pattern of mobility in education is added to Ralph Turner's classic models of contest and sponsored mobility. The salient characteristics of the new "Failsafe " model are illustrated from the Ontario high school system. The impact of the new normative pattern on university education is illustrated from the author's own college. Student behaviour ranging from increased cheating to increased petitioning is related to the failsafe norms. The failsafe system lacks important selective functions of the contest and sponsored models, and has produced an excess of graduates "with elite skills, for whom there are no elite stations". False consciousness of students as individual "academic entrepreneurs" has thus far prevented the experience of frustration at "overqualification" from becoming a class protest.
An Analysis of the Salient Features of René Hurtubise's Conception of the University
Authors: Fiorino Al
Published: April 2021

In recent years an attempt to formulate an "idea of the university" suited to the Canadian scene has been made by René Hurtubise, undoubtedly a key figure in Québec higher edu- cation. An examination of this attempt reveals, what I would consider, a positive tendency in Canadian higher educational research to be more theoretical and philosophical. However, at the same time, it also discloses, as does much of the literature in this field, a lack of self- evaluation, a quality important to the elaboration of a sound and viable educational model.
Contributions to a Regenerated Social Science: A Review
Authors: Fisk Larry J.
Published: April 2021

By 1965, behavioral social science had become a widely accepted approach to the scientific study of man and his politics. Any uncertainty as to what constituted a proper social science seemed to be raised most deeply by writers acquainted with the nature of physical science which most social science methodology seemed desparately to emulate. Recent comments by Nobel physicist Hideki Yukawa seem to indicate that little has changed in the physicist's scientific method in the last ten years and it would appear to be time to review those theories which prompted some radical reconsideration of the nature of both natural and social science over the last decade. The ideas which seem to lead to such a reconsideration include Werner Heisenberg's principle of uncertainty — that the observer's attempt to pin-point one phenomenon in nature disrupts or interferes with closely related phenomena; and Niels Bohr's principle of complimentarity where two seemingly different or contradictory theories when taken together offer a more complete understanding of a given phenomenon in the physical world. Michael Polanyi's notions of "tacit knowledge"and "indwelling" indicate that "we know more than we can tell" and that our view of isolated and detailed aspects of reality are rooted in a "prior knowledge"or even "involvement" in a larger whole. The capability of seeing or sharing in such larger wholes has been considered by humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow as a measure of the scientist's maturity. A social scientist is open to more when he is a healthy person. Empathy, participation and man's purposefulness are the three human characteristics considered in this paper all of which seem to appear as the crux of a science of man by which all science must reinterpret its own methodology. To so interpret such characteristics rather than tailoring them to fit existing physical and behavioral scientific method and theory is to put certain ethical and political responsibilities of the social scientist at the very center of the nature, method and theory of our understanding of man and the science of man. The theories of Heisenberg, Bohr, Polanyi and Maslow support such a radical reinterpretation and the conclusion of the paper is that such a reinterpretation does not so much redefine social science in the light of natural science, but puts a reconsideration of the nature of man and science at center stage, so that a total regeneration of all science may be possible.
University Presidents and the Politicians
Authors: Sirluck Ernest
Published: April 2021

This commentary does not deal with politicians within the university or at the federal or municipal levels, limiting itself to persons, whether elected or appointed, in government office at the provincial level. In addition to the university's "primary " area of interaction with government (Universities Minister, Grants Commission, Premier), there is an important "secondary "area (for example, Health, Agriculture, Energy and Resources, Industry, Labour, etc.) where there must be co-operation but where differing responsibilities imply different objectives. Examples are given to show that on the government side there has in recent years been a diminishing concern to prevent such differences from becoming clashes. In the "primary " sector the direction in which the relationship has moved in recent years has been downward. Public reaction against the universities and disunity within them have combined to invite government infringement upon university autonomy and abridgement of commitments; examples are given. The reasons for the absence of public protest are analyzed. A general conclusion is that a university's relations with government reflect pri- marily the realities of power and influence of the moment.

A Participatory Approach to the Development of Centralized Information Systems
Authors: Noble Howat , Stoll Robert A. , Calvert Ian S.
Published: April 2021

In this article, we address the development and implementation of centralized information systems in the public sector. More specifically, we are concerned with implementation of such systems where a central governmental agency is collecting information from a number of similar institutions; for example, hospitals and colleges. It is our contention that the numerous problems traditionally associated with such systems often stem from the lack of a realistic participatory approach in the development and implementation of the system. This article discusses the participatory approach to the development and implementation of such a system - the Ontario College Information System (OCIS), a computer-based information system containing information on Ontario's twenty-two Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology.
Modelling the realities of research experience: collaboration against common and merciless foes
Authors: Furedy John J. , Furedy Chris
Published: April 2021

This paper describes a fourth-year undergraduate thesis-research course, the form of which has been changed in recent years to maximise the simulation aspect of under- graduate learning. It is suggested that both the "grudging slave"and "unconstrained- scientific-genius" are ineffective models of genuine research activity, and that an "adversary" model is more appropriate. The adversary model system uses a journal- submission analogue in which external judgement (the first "foe") is provided by having the thesis marked not by the supervisor but by other faculty in a complex, not perfect, but apparently fair, grading system. The other "foe" of the student is the deadline for submission of the thesis, a deadline which is rigidly enforced by means of very severe grade penalties for lateness. Responsibility for the thesis is thereby shifted completely to the student who, while contending against these "foes", is also engaged in a number of academically significant collaborative relationships. These relationships include that with the supervisor, with fellow students (in research seminars), and with the thesis co-ordinator, who has negligible influence on the final grade assigned, and can therefore function as a non-authoritarian, disinterested critic. Experience with this adversary model system has shown that it is necessary to provide "symbols of significance" for each component (e.g., the research seminar) of the course, in the form of (small) grades. The function of these grades is to ensure that each component is perceived by students as academically significant. The system inevitably produces sources of tension between the student, supervisor, other students, and co-ordinator. However, it is suggested that this feature is potentially beneficial inasmuch as it produces better simulation of real-life research experience, as well as increasing the student's sense of intellectual responsibility for his own work. Finally, the general applicability of the Toronto experience is discussed. It appears that such factors as departmental size, or research eminence of the faculty, are not critical for successful implementation. What is necessary is a general agreement on what constitutes good and bad research, and a commitment to disinterested enquiry and academic values by a sizeable majority of the faculty of the department in question.
University Presidents and Politicians
Authors: Bissell Claude T.
Published: April 2021

It is customary to think of the ideal university president as being necessarily opposed to the methods and aims of the public politician. I f , as Thorstein Veblen argued, he adopts those methods and aims, he betrays the university and becomes, in effect, the head of a corporation or a minor state. It is the argument of this paper, however, that the president can lead and direct the University only if he accepts a political role, and strives to establish a high place for the university among public priorities. At the University of Toronto (and at other Canadian universities in varying degrees and in varying ways), the president was not able to play this political role until the great expansion of the 'sixties. Then, the need for long-range planning brought the presidents into the political arena. At the same time, internal stresses led to the creation of more representative governing bodies within the universities, and made the president a political figure who must strive to achieve a central alliance within the academic community.

Opening Open Universities: The Canadian Experience
Authors: Daniel J. S. , Smith W. A.S.
Published: April 2021

This article examines, from an administrative/management perspective, the two open universities which have been created in Canada in the 1970's, Athabasca University in Alberta and the Te´le´-universite´ in Que´bec. A study of the initial planning reveals that effective planning requires balanced attention to means and ends. The new management structures required for this type of institution, coupled with the climate of acute uncertainty in which it operates in the early days, require particularly able and committed leadership. That both institutions have been rather successful argues for the importance of the open university concept itself.

Introduction: Studies showed that the condition of joint hypermobility is quite common in children. In general, joint hypermobility asses through the Beighton score method. The objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between beighton score and walking age in children.Method: This research was conducted at a kindergarten in Surabaya using an observational analytic research type and a cross-sectional design. Data collected through interviews and physical examinations. A joint hypermobility examination performed using the Beighton score criteria. Meanwhile data was analyzed using the crosstabulation and Spearman test.Result: It was found that 84% of children had ≥4/9 score on the Beighton score and there were 92% with positive Beighton score in the knee joint. In this study, as many as 20 children experienced the first independent walks over 18 months when 18 of them who has Beighton score ≥4 points. However, there is no correlation found on the Beighton score and the walking age [sig. (2-tailed) = 0.053].Conclusion: Children who have ≥4 points of Beighton score are mostly found in this study. The relationship between the Beighton score and walking age was not statistically significant.

Estimating the cost of equity capital for small companies: an empirical analysis of the effectiveness of an alternative method in calculating economic value added
Authors: Souza José Nilson Rodrigues de , Paulo Wanderlei Lima de , Bianchi Eliane Maria Pires Giavina
Published: April 2021

Abstract: Although initially developed for large corporations, economic value added (EVA) is a potential performance indicator to be used in small businesses (SME)s. EVA is calculated based on the cost of capital (equity and third party´s capital). Usually, the cost of equity capital is estimated using the classical Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), whose parameters are estimated by market data. In general, the CAPM becomes impracticable in SMEs due to the scarcity or absence of stocks traded on the stock exchange. As literature presents some alternative methods to calculate the cost of equity for small private companies, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the alternative method proposed by Boudreaux et al. (2011) compared to the classical CAPM, when both methods are used to calculate the EVA indicator. From a sample composed of 34 companies listed on the Brazilian stock exchange (B3), the results show that the method is useful for estimating the cost of equity capital in the calculation of the EVA indicator.
Keywords: Small businesses; SME; EVA indicator; Cost of equity capital; Cost of capital; Capital Asset Pricing Model; CAPM.

Published: April 2021

The most valuable thing in today’s world is time, people are referring those things which consumes less time. Billing in Shopping mall takes lot of time. Billing of products from mall is quite difficult because it takes more time as people have to wait for a long time in a queue for billing .Looking at the advancement in technology, we came up with an innovative idea of “Smart Shopping Cart for Automatic Billing in Supermarket”. This project consists of RFID reader, motion detector sensor, Liquid Crystal Display, push buttons, switches . If user wants to use smart trolley functions then start button should be pressed. When a user put some product in trolley then its code will be detected using RFID reader and cost of a product added to the list and sensor will sense the direction of motion of the product for fault detection and buzzer will be on if fault detected.

A Biosensor is a bio-analytical device which is used to collect physical, chemical or biological information and then convert that information into an electrical signal. Nowadays Biosensors are distributed over a considerable extent in biomedical diagnosis and a broad variety of other fields like monitoring of treatment and progression of disease, environment and agriculture monitoring, food safety, discovery of drug, biomedical & forensics research. The first biosensor was designed over a century ago in 1906, but it was clearly defined & established later in 1956. A broad range of techniques can be used for biosensor growth and their combination with high affinity biomolecules enable a variety of analysts to be sensitive & selective. Biosensors and their importance in medical science which includes human’s early stage of detection of interleukin-10 causing heart diseases, fast discovery of human papilloma virus, etc. are various important aspects. Fluorescent biosensors also play a very important role in discovery of drug and in cancer. Biosensor applications are ubiquitous in the plant biology segment to discover out the missing links which is required in metabolic processes. Other applications are implicated in defense, clinical sector, marine applications and also biosensor illustrates the span of bimolecular sensing strategies with the growth of nanotechnology approaches that are now available.

Published: April 2021

Objectives: A near miss in transfusion practice is defined as a deviation from standard procedures discovered before transfusion and can lead to a transfusion error. Information on near-miss events provides pivotal data on areas of improvement to prevent actual errors in the future. Our study sought to determine the prevalence and rate of near-miss events and their associated factors amongst house officers (HO) in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. Methods: The initial part of this study is a descriptive cross-sectional study involving data collection from all requests sent for group, screen, and hold (GSH) and group and cross match (GXM) tests from 2011 to 2017. The association between sociodemographic, workplace, and experience factors with near-miss events amongst HO was analyzed with a case-control study using logistic regression. Results: We reported 83 near-miss events with a prevalence of 0.034% (95% confidence interval 0.027–0.042). The rate of near-miss events was one in every 2916 requests. The mean reporting rate was 11.9 events per year. Clinical near miss predominated at 89.2% compared to 10.8% laboratory near miss. Mislabeled events (33.7%) were more than miscollected events (10.8%). HO were implicated with most events (83.1%). Most events were predominantly in the medical and obstetrics and gynecology wards amounting to 31.3% each. We found a significant association between the ages of HO with near-miss events. Conclusions: The prevalence of near-miss events in our hospital was relatively low. Our study has shown areas for improvement include improving sampling practices in clinical areas, adequate training of laboratory technicians, and providing proper transfusion education. Interventions such as encouraging compliance to guidelines and training in clinical and laboratory areas to minimize the risk of mistransfusion should be considered.
O Experimento como uma Rede Estabilizada: associações, negociações e algumas implicações na Educação em Ciências

Published: April 2021

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo problematizar um tema tradicional na pesquisa em Educação em Ciências: as atividades experimentais. Coloca-se em questão a recorrente utilização de epistemologias racionalistas, que privilegiam uma relação hierarquizada entre a teoria e o experimento e esquecem-se de que a experimentação é uma atividade relacionada a intervenção e manipulação de realidades específicas e artificialmente construídas. Defende-se aqui uma abordagem que enfoque as controvérsias emergentes no trato com o concreto e as diferentes negociações impostas pelo processo de criação e estabilização de fenômenos experimentais. Utilizando-se os conceitos da Teoria Ator-Rede, essa posição é discutida a partir da análise qualitativa de um estudo de caso: a construção de um aparato experimental didático por um licenciando em Física, com a finalidade de compor o seu Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso. Os dados analisados foram obtidos a partir de registros escritos realizados pelo próprio licenciando, fotografias da construção do aparato experimental e por uma entrevista estruturada realizada com ele ao final de todo o processo. A análise destacou as situações controversas provocadas pelo processo de construção do aparato experimental e as negociações realizadas, evidenciando que este processo também consiste na criação e estabilização de fenômenos e de atores, cujas identidades são sempre (re)definidas contingencialmente. Desse modo, é evidenciado que, tanto na ciência quanto no ensino de ciências, criar e manter um fenômeno estável é torná-lo mais social e coletivo ainda. Por fim, são discutidas algumas implicações importantes para a Educação em Ciências.
Flexibilidade Cognitiva no Ensino de Ciências: Uma Revisão Bibliográfica
Authors: Vidmar Muryel Pyetro , Prieto Schmidt Sauerwein Inés
Published: April 2021

Apresentamos neste artigo os resultados de uma revisão bibliográfica que teve como objetivos principais: (i) situar a flexibilidade cognitiva nas áreas de ensino e pesquisa em ensino de Ciências, e (ii) buscar subsídios para consubstanciar o desenvolvimento da flexibilidade cognitiva através da elaboração e avaliação de atividades didáticas de Física. Consideramos, neste contexto, a importância da recontextualização dos conhecimentos científicos. Explicitada por diversos autores e pelos documentos oficiais voltados ao ensino médio de Física, é ela que possibilita aos estudantes lidar com as situações que vivenciam ou venham a vivenciar, muitas delas novas e inéditas. Encontramos na Teoria da Flexibilidade Cognitiva (TFC) a base teórico-metodológica para essas questões. Isso porque ela enfatiza o desenvolvimento da flexibilidade cognitiva como essencial na construção, organização e reestruturação do conhecimento face a novas situações e contextos de utilização. Nessa linha, a revisão bibliográfica foi realizada em trinta e três periódicos da área, e abrangeu as publicações contidas no período de 1990 a 2017, em consonância com a proposição da TFC. Buscamos analisar aqueles trabalhos que possuíam ênfase na flexibilidade cognitiva, a partir de critérios elaborados de acordo com os referidos objetivos. Como um dos resultados dessa revisão bibliográfica, constatamos que a flexibilidade cognitiva ainda é pouco trabalhada no âmbito do ensino de Ciências, o que explicita a relevância e necessidade de ampliação das investigações sobre a temática. Outro resultado importante consistiu na inexistência de artigos de revisão de literatura sobre flexibilidade cognitiva na área, de modo que essa revisão se mostrou pertinente nesse âmbito. Como principal resultado obtido, destacamos a diversidade de metodologias de ensino, instrumentos de avaliação e focos de avaliação nas propostas analisadas. Entendemos que isso pode contribuir para a estruturação de atividades didáticas que visam a um processo de ensino-aprendizagem de Física mais flexível, bem como para uma análise coerente e abrangente dos aspectos envolvidos no desenvolvimento da flexibilidade cognitiva. Flexibilidade essa que é essencial para uma formação mais ampla e articulada, que visa à aplicação do conhecimento em novos contextos.

Authors: Rocha José Fernando Moura
Published: April 2021

Neste trabalho, analisa-se historicamente a experiência de ensino, realizada no Curso de Física, da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), envolvendo a disciplina Conceitos de Física D, anteriormente denominado Física Básica IV, que tem a óptica e elementos de física moderna como seu conteúdo programático. Tal experiência, iniciada em 1999, se constitui em um exemplo de incorporação da história da ciência ao ensino de ciências ou, mais especificamente, ao ensino da física universitária básica. Inicialmente, são discutidas as principais dificuldades encontradas pelos professores para ministrar essa disciplina e também como as mesmas foram enfrentadas, ao longo do tempo, inclusive com a produção de material didático; em seguida, será discutida a forma como o seu conteúdo programático foi efetivamente trabalhado em sala de aula, isto é, como as atividades foram realizadas, qual o material usado e como os alunos interagiram com esse material. Finalmente, será apresentada a visão dos alunos sobre a abordagem utilizada na mencionada disciplina.
