概括
一些大学主导着美国的教师招聘, 在学术生涯中造成不平等. 较高的退学率和性别平等的缓慢进展凸显了教授的系统性问题.
科学领域:
- 科学社会学
- 高等教育研究
- 学术工作人员分析
背景情况:
- 教师的招聘和留守影响了学术人员的组成,教育成果和研究优先事项.
- 招聘动态反映了社会转变,代际变化和多样性倡议.
研究的目的:
- 分析美国专职教师的学术就业和博士教育 (2011-2020年).
- 量化教师生产,声望,保留和性别代表性的不平等.
- 了解塑造学术奖学金和劳动力动力学的过程.
主要方法:
- 对美国授予博士学位的大学专任教师的学术就业数据进行分析.
- 十多年来 (2011-2020年) 的博士教育和职业发展轨迹的审查.
- 量化教师生产,退学率和各机构的性别代表性.
主要成果:

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

Friedman Two-way Analysis of Variance by Ranks
282
Friedman's Two-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks is a nonparametric test designed to identify differences across multiple test attempts when traditional assumptions of normality and equal variances do not apply. Unlike conventional ANOVA, which requires normally distributed data with equal variances, Friedman's test is ideal for ordinal or non-normally distributed data, making it particularly useful for analyzing dependent samples, such as matched subjects over time or repeated measures...

Compensation Mechanisms
561
The human body employs intricate mechanisms to counteract changes in blood pH, preventing conditions like acidosis (pH < 7.35) and alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These compensatory responses aim to restore normal arterial blood pH by engaging respiratory or renal systems, depending on the source of the imbalance.
Respiratory Compensation
This mechanism addresses metabolic-induced pH imbalances by adjusting breathing rates. Respiratory compensation begins within minutes of detecting a pH...

Quantitative Analysis
556
Quantitative analysis is a technique for measuring the amount of specific constituents in a sample. When the sample's composition is unknown, qualitative analysis is performed first to identify its components, which ensures that the correct substances are measured during the quantitative phase.
In quantitative analysis, two key measurements are made: the sample quantity and a property proportional to the amount of the analyte (the substance being analyzed). This forms the basis of the...

Surveys
15.0K
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.

Ordinal Level of Measurement
25.4K
The way a set of data is measured is called its level of measurement. Correct statistical procedures depend on a researcher being familiar with levels of measurement. For analysis, data are classified into four levels of measurement—nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
Data measured using an ordinal scale are similar to nominal scale data, but there is one major difference. The ordinal scale data can be ordered. An example of ordinal scale data is a list of the top five national parks...
