The Australian Research Quality Framework: A live experiment in capturing the social, economic, environmental, and cultural returns of publicly funded research
No full textCopyright @ 2008 Wiley Periodicals Inc. This is the accepted version of the following article: Donovan, C. (2008), The Australian Research Quality Framework: A live experiment in capturing the social, economic, environmental, and cultural returns of publicly funded research. New Directions for Evaluation, 2008: 47–60, which has been published in final form at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ev.260/abstract.The author regards development of Australia's ill-fated Research Quality Framework (RQF) as a “live experiment” in determining the most appropriate approach to evaluating the extra-academic returns, or “impact,” of a nation's publicly funded research. The RQF was at the forefront of an international movement toward richer qualitative, contextual approaches that aimed to gauge the wider economic, social, environmental, and cultural benefits of research. Its construction and implementation sent mixed messages and created confusion about what impact is, and how it is best measured, to the extent that this bold live experiment did not come to fruition
Gradgrinding the Social Sciences: The Politics of Metrics of Political Science
No full textCopyright @ 2009 The AuthorThis article employs an interpretive approach, and in the light of contributions to this symposium by Butler and McAllister, and McLean et al., holds that metrics of research ‘quality’ are socially constructed and hence are as ‘subjective’ as peer review. Thus it rejects the use of stand-alone metrics as an ‘objective’ basis to inform funding allocations. Rather, the optimum method of ‘quality’ assessment is a panel-based exercise with expert judgement informed by a range of discipline-sensitive metrics and peer review of publications. The article maintains that the politics of metrics of political science conceals interests about the foundations of social scientific knowledge, and so the dispute over metrics and peer review is a metaphor for the conflicting epistemological preferences of UK political scientists. It is also argued that metrics-led assessment subjects political science to ‘Gradgrinding’ on two fronts: that political science departments amount to less than the sum of their parts, and the audit culture strips the discipline of its humanism

Evlenmeyin: Nasıl, Ne Zaman Ve Kiminle Evlenilebileceği Üzerine Tavsiyeler
No full textJames W. Donovan's "Don't Marry" ( Evlenmeyin Nasıl, Ne Zaman Ve Kiminle Evlenilebileceği Üzerine Tavsiyeler) is an advice book written in the late 19th century that deals with the institution of marriage and partner selection. Translated into Turkish by Umut Yarım, this work starts from the premise that marriage is a serious partnership rather than a romantic dream. The author warns young people against making hasty decisions and lists the points to be considered to achieve happiness in marriage. The book covers topics such as the characteristics of the ideal spouse, character compatibility, the importance of financial status, and the difficulties that may be encountered in marriage in detail. While seeking answers to fundamental questions such as "Who to marry?" and "When to marry?", Donovan also examines the causes of unhappy marriages. Although the work reflects the social norms of the period, it encourages the reader to make conscious and prudent choices by offering universal observations on human relationships. The author's aim is not to reject marriage completely, but to protect against the regrets of marriages made with the wrong person or at the wrong time.James W. Donovan'ın "Evlenmeyin" (Don't Marry) adlı eseri, evlilik kurumunu ve eş seçimini ele alan, 19. yüzyıl sonlarında yazılmış bir tavsiye kitabıdır. Umut Yarım tarafından Türkçeye çevrilen bu çalışma, evliliğin romantik bir hayalden ziyade ciddi bir ortaklık olduğu gerçeğinden yola çıkar. Yazar, gençleri aceleci kararlar vermemeleri konusunda uyarır ve evlilikte mutluluğu yakalamak için dikkat edilmesi gereken hususları sıralar. Kitapta, ideal eşin özellikleri, karakter uyumu, maddi durumun önemi ve evlilikte karşılaşılabilecek zorluklar gibi konular detaylı bir şekilde işlenir. Donovan, "Kiminle evlenmeli?" ve "Ne zaman evlenmeli?" gibi temel sorulara yanıt ararken, mutsuz evliliklerin nedenlerini de irdeler. Eser, dönemin toplumsal normlarını yansıtmakla birlikte, insan ilişkilerine dair evrensel gözlemler sunarak okuyucuyu bilinçli ve sağduyulu seçimler yapmaya teşvik eder. Yazarın amacı evliliği tamamen reddetmek değil, yanlış kişiyle veya yanlış zamanda yapılan evliliklerin getireceği pişmanlıklardan korumaktır
Measuring barriers to adherence: validation of the problematic experiences of therapy scale
No full textPurpose: To present the psychometric properties of the Problematic Experiences of Therapy Scale (the PETS), a brief measure to assess self-reported perceived barriers to adherence to physical rehabilitative therapy.Methods: Participants (study 1: n?=?128, study 2: n?=?227) taking part in trials of rehabilitative exercises completed the PETS and adherence questions at 12 weeks. Participants in study 2 were also asked about maintained adherence at 6-month follow-up.Results: Principal component analysis identified a four-factor structure relating to symptoms, uncertainty, doubts and practical problems. Cronbach's alphas ranged between 0.84 and 0.96 for study 1 and study 2. Correlations between factors varied, ranging between -0.22 and -0.53 for study 1, and 0.12 and 0.36 for study 2. Adherence was associated with all subscales at 12 weeks, and with the symptoms and doubts subscales at 6-months.Conclusions: The PETS is a valid and reliable measure that can be used to assess participants' perceived reasons for non-adherence to a home-based rehabilitative therapy. It can be easily incorporated into treatment trials and as subscales were associated with reported adherence and maintained adherence, it provides potentially valuable indicators of reported barriers to adherence or might be used in clinical practice to facilitate conversations about adherence.Implications for RehabilitationLow levels of adherence are commonly reported among people with chronic conditions who are required to undertake self-managed, home-based rehabilitation, yet patient-perceived barriers to adherence are rarely measured. The Problematic Experiences of Therapy Scale (the PETS) is a brief self-report measure that assesses the extent to which respondents perceive that they have been prevented from carrying out an intervention by common and plausible reasons. A patient-centered approach to reasons for non-adherence could facilitate conversations about adherence and identify areas in which the respondent may benefit from additional support or interventions to aid adherence
