Cyberbullying a problem at Canadian universities, study shows

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWMTBx0CPzMFK637Zb6AgNbjhxfVRtTVkrwKoq4ZPL2p18KKWOEwB3AWIBy Natalie Samson. Three researchers at Simon Fraser University report that cyberbullying is a growing concern at Canadian universities and that universities will need to address it forcefully, with clearer policies than the ones now in place. Wanda Cassidy, associate professor of education and director of SFU’s Centre for Education, Law and Society (or CELS), Margaret Jackson, professor emerita of criminology, and Chantal Faucher, postdoctoral fellow at CELS, are among only a handful of people in the world examining cyberbullying at universities. Since 2012, the three have been working on a project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council to investigate cyberbullying at four Canadian universities. More...

New research into the impact of policy changes on student attitudes to learning

http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/css/hea2/images/hea2-header-bg-swirl.pngStudents have a mixed level of identification with the notion of themselves as ‘consumers’, and they continue to value excellent teaching, research published today into the impact of policy changes on student attitudes and approaches to learning in higher education shows.
The research, by Michael Tomlinson of the University of Southampton and funded by the HEA, reveals that the majority of students in the study spoke of having greater rights and stronger grounds for appraising and questioning the provision they received, but that the notion of actively consuming higher education did not seem to capture the majority's approaches.

Study: Occupational profile and overqualification of young workers in Canada, 1991 to 2011

Between 1991 and 2011, young Canadians aged 25 to 34 became more likely to be employed in professional occupations. However, a portion of them were "overqualified" during this period—that is, working in occupations requiring lower levels of education.
Two studies released today in Insights on Canadian Society provide some highlights on the evolution of the occupational characteristics of young men and women in Canada between 1991 and 2011, a period during which the educational attainment of young people rose substantially.
The first study examines whether today's young graduates and non-graduates aged 25 to 34 are working in the same occupations as their counterparts were 20 years ago.
The second study examines changes in the proportion of those who are "overqualified" for their job, with a focus on university graduates. More...

Significant link between factors such as ethnicity, gender and school type on achievement in higher education

HEFCE logoNew HEFCE analysis shows significant link between factors such as ethnicity, gender and school type on achievement in higher education
The most comprehensive study of its kind, published by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), reveals the significant effect of factors such as ethnicity, gender, disadvantage and school type on the chances of students obtaining an upper second or first class degree in higher education.

It confirms the findings of earlier HEFCE studies on this subject and reveals new and in some cases unexpected insights. More...

Lycée : les Français seraient des mauvais élèves en Europe selon l'Insee

Orientations : études, métiers, alternance, emploi, orientations scolaireLes Français sont moins nombreux que la moyenne européenne à être allés au moins jusqu'au lycée. Et les disparités en termes d'instruction se creusent également en fonction du sexe.
Alors qu'en France, le diplôme est loin d'être démocratisé, le constat semble être encore plus alarmant si l'on procède à une comparaison européenne. En effet, en France, "seulement" 72,5 % des 25-64 ans ont au moins terminé le lycée, contre 74,2 % de la moyenne européenne, selon l'Insee. Suite...
