Kvalitetssikring af læreruddannelsens Third Mission
No full textDe videregående uddannelser er blevet kritiseret for kun at fokusere på uddannelse og forskning, og der er rejst krav om en Third Mission (TM): at læreanstalterne også ’bidrager til samfundet’ (Compagnucci & Spigarelli, 2020). Men hvordan vurdere TM-kvalitet? Akkreditering ser udelukkende efter kvantitativ compliance mellem indsats og effekt (Bendixen & Jacobsen, 2017; 2019; 2022). Vi vil undersøge, hvordan den kommende læreruddannelses TM kan kvalitetsbedømmes ud fra mere dynamiske kvalitetskriterier, som vi efter Pinheiro et al. (2017) har valgt at kalde for en uddannelses samfundsresonans. I denne artikel vil vi (a) gennemføre en historisk dokumentanalyse af, hvorvidt den aktuelle institutionsakkreditering 2.0 indfanger ovennævnte TM-kvaliteter, (b) beskrive TM i den ny læreruddannelse ud fra Bekendtgørelsen (BEK 374, 2023) og (c) give eksempler på, hvordan man løbende kan kvalitetsbedømme TM i den kommende læreruddannelse.

No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
The Mealtime PREP intervention shows promise to improve dietary variety and mealtime behaviors and lower risk of nutritional deficiency in toddlers with sensory food aversions. Moderate to large effect sizes were observed in a small sample of 11 families trained to deliver this intervention in the home.

Remittance behavior among new U.S. immigrants
No full textI analyze remittance behavior among new legal immigrants in the US using a nationally representative survey of immigrants admitted to legal permanent residency in 2003. I find that the distribution of remittances is skewed to the right, with a small number of immigrants sending very large amounts. I find evidence against the pure altruism model and find that remittances may be used for investments in the home country. Using longitudinal data from the NIS, I construct a measure of permanent income and estimate remittance-income elasticities. I find that large country differentials in remittance behavior are only partially explained by observable characteristics of the donor, recipient and origin country. Future work will incorporate later waves of the 2003 NIS in order to observe return migration (and its relationship to remittance and home country investment decisions) and life cycle income-remittance movements.Immigrants ; Remittances
