まとめ

民主主義の価値観を守るために学問の自由を擁護すべきです政治的二極化や紛争を無視すると,高等教育の自由調査と多様な議論を損なう危険性があります.

科学分野:

高等教育政策
市民の関与
学問の自由

背景:

大学は民主主義にとって不可欠で個人の自由や原則に基づいた議論や寛容といった市民的価値観を育むのです
学問の自由は教員,スタッフ,学生にとって規範に異議を唱えアイデアを探求し自由な探求を通して知識を進めるために不可欠です
大学指導者は学問の自由を積極的に支持することが期待されます.

研究の目的:

学問の自由に対する支持と大学管理者の政治的行動の対立を検証する.
政治的二極化に対する行政の対応が,高等教育の自由調査と議論にどのように影響するか分析する.

主な方法:

行政の報告と行動の質的分析
政治的紛争を乗り越える大学のケーススタディ
学問の自由に関する制度政策の見直し

主要な成果:

多くの大学管理職は,学術の自由を表面的に支援する ("唇のサービス").
管理者は自由な調査を支持するよりも政治的戦略に従事しています
異なる考え方を脅かす紛争はしばしば無視され政治的に管理されます

結論:

大学経営者の政治行動は学問の自由と民主的関与の核心的価値観を損ねている.
高等教育の市民的使命は偏った環境で行政的な妥協によって危険にさらされています
学問の自由と知的多様性を保護するために行政的リーダーシップの緊急再評価が必要である.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle

The arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called its electron configuration. We describe an electron configuration with a symbol that contains three pieces of information:

Quantifying and Rejecting Outliers: The Grubbs Test

2.6K

Sometimes, a data set can have a recorded numerical observation that greatly deviates from the rest of the data. Assuming that the data is normally distributed, a statistical method called the Grubbs test can be used to determine whether the observation is truly an outlier. To perform a two-tailed Grubbs test, first, calculate the absolute difference between the outlier and the mean. Then, calculate the ratio between this difference and the standard deviation of the sample. This...

Degrees of Freedom

4.7K

The degree of freedom for a particular statistical calculation is the number of values that are free to vary. Thus, the minimum number of independent numbers can specify a particular statistic. The degrees of freedom differ greatly depending on known and uncalculated statistical components.
For example, suppose there are three unknown numbers whose mean is 10; although we can freely assign values to the first and second numbers, the value of the last number can not be arbitrarily assigned.

Surveys

16.1K

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Student t Distribution

8.2K

The population standard deviation is rarely known in many day-to-day examples of statistics. When the sample sizes are large, it is easy to estimate the population standard deviation using a confidence interval, which provides results close enough to the original value. However, statisticians ran into problems when the sample size was small. A small sample size caused inaccuracies in the confidence interval.
The Student t distribution was developed by William S. Goset (1876–1937) of the...
