Southampton: lecture on TEF
Lecture by Prof Dorothy Bishop, 1st Feb 2017, University of Southampton:
What’s wrong with our Universities, and will the Teaching Excellence Framework put it right?
Reading list: What’s wrong with our universities
This document discusses the issues with universities in the UK and whether the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) will help address these problems. It provides an overview of criticisms of the TEF, including that the metrics used do not properly evaluate teaching quality, the cost of implementation is high, and it could increase casualization of academic labor. Concerns are also raised about a lack of consultation on the policy and negative impacts on research. Overall, the document casts doubt on whether the TEF will successfully remedy the problems with the current university system.

The document reports on the progress of the Pathways to Open Resource Sharing through Convergence in Healthcare Education (PORSCHE) project. It discusses developing open educational resources and sharing best practices between higher education and healthcare. It also addresses issues around digital professionalism, managing risk, and attributing third-party materials.
16.1.7 campus technology news update - hackathon
A study found that physics students were more confident in their ability to understand course content when using a flipped classroom approach combining reflective study with collaborative activities. The flipped classroom model had students learning new material on their own before class through videos or readings, then using class time for collaborative work and applying what they learned. A long-term study across multiple institutions found this approach improved how students perceived their ability to learn physics compared to a traditional lecture-based model.

The document summarizes a pilot project called the Finch HE-NHS pilot that extends access to research publications for UK NHS staff. It aims to address the finding that only 40% of NHS-funded research was accessible to NHS staff by extending university journal licenses to include NHS organizations. The pilot involves major publishers providing free, one-year access to their publications for NHS staff through existing university licenses to evaluate the feasibility and inform future access models. Initial feedback from NHS librarians has been positive about the increased access to research content for staff.Recommended

This is a talk given to the Australian 2021 Research Support Community Day (#RSCDay21).
ABSTRACT: Understanding scholarly communication is becoming increasingly important within research institutions. In response, the number and range of scholarly communication-related roles within academic libraries, and other departments and divisions, have been growing steadily for nearly 20 years. Yet there are very few formal training opportunities for people moving into these roles. This has led to something of a crisis, with a recent paper in the US identifying that “scholarly communications librarians experience impostor phenomenon more frequently and intensely than academic librarians more broadly”.
This talk will describe an Australasian research project building on the US study looking at scholarly communication knowledge and skills. Our study focusses on people who support institutional repository management, publishing services, research practice, copyright services, open access policies and scholarly communication landscape, data management services, and assessment & impact metrics. The findings will help identify future training and workforce development needs.

UKSG Conference 2017 Breakout - How publishers can thrive in an open access m...UKSG: connecting the knowledge community
It appears highly probable that immediate open access publishing
will become the default mode for scholarly publishing – for the
biosciences first, other sectors later. ‘Immediate’ open access
means unfettered publication as soon as a scholarly work is
ready, with no embargo period. The costs of making a scholarly
artefact available can be reduced without sacrificing quality. This
interactive session will sketch the argument for these claims and
will present several value-added services that publishers could
develop to thrive in an open access world.Open access for the inaugural @OpenResLDN meeting 2015 01 19
Slides that I will speak to at the inaugural meeting of OpenResLDN on 19th January 2015. January 2015 sees the 350th anniversary of the first ever journal publication - the Journal des Savants. We are now in the 21st year of the Open Access movement and the UK and European policies are really beginning to drive change and innovation. That change is not fast enough for some, and for others - particularly those covered by the policies, or seeking to implement policy - just a little too fast sometimes.
Academic Institutions - Born Analog but Going Digital - What Are the Implicat...
Academic institutions are facing disruption from the digital economy and push for open scholarship. A SWOT analysis identifies opportunities and threats for publishers:
Strengths include established trust and business models, but weaknesses are inability to adapt to new data and analytics needs. Funders are pushing for reproducibility, accessibility and open platforms. This creates opportunities for publishers to partner with institutions, but also threats if institutions begin directly publishing themselves. The potential for companies like Google to create their own open universities could severely impact traditional academic publishers.

Let’s just get on with it – ‘open’ in Australia in 2019
This document summarizes Danny Kingsley's presentation on the current state of open access in Australia. It discusses how Australia contributes disproportionately to global research output relative to its population and economy. While Plan S has generated discussion in other countries, commentary related to Australia makes up a small percentage. The document reviews statements and policies from Australian funders and universities regarding open access, finding that few universities have clear policies. It argues that greater transparency, adoption of open research practices, and strengthening of policies by champions within academic communities can help advance open access in Australia.
Institutional electronic repositories: a mandate for all researchers
The document discusses open access to scientific documentation through institutional electronic repositories. It argues that open access allows for greater visibility and impact of research, increased collaboration opportunities, and optimal use of web technologies. However, one challenge is disseminating research effectively. The document proposes several actions to advance open access, including developing institutional repositories with mandatory deposit policies, supporting existing and new open access journals, and communicating the benefits of open access to researchers.
Open Access policies at Australian universities
This is a talk given at the Research Support Community Day (#RSCDay21) by Danny Kingsley & Simon Wakeling on a research project they are doing with Hamid Jamali, Mary Anne Kennan and Maryam Sarrafzadeh.
ABSTRACT: It has long been recognised that policies and mandates are key drivers of open access (OA) publishing and dissemination. While a great deal of attention has been placed on funder policies, researchers are also often covered by institutional policies or guidelines. This presentation will provide an overview of the state of open access policies at Australian universities. It will report on a research project that is analysing all existing OA policies, or policies that are related to open access (for example dissemination of research output policies) at Australian universities. In addition to reporting whether universities have policies explicitly related to open access, and what those policies require of researchers, the project also explores how universities define OA, and the extent to which their policies represent a form of OA advocacy. The presentation will include highlights from a comparison of university policies for their similarities and differences, a discussion of their key characteristics, and an assessment of the potential future role of such policies in the context of the national and international OA landscape.

The document discusses the potential impact of future changes in digital scholarship on marine biodiversity research. It notes that current scholarly communication occurs too slowly, reaches too few people, and costs too much. Open access publishing could help address some of these issues by providing free, online access to research. Examples are given of how digital tools and open data sharing could help broaden scientific awareness, integrate data and literature, and leverage open access research to find areas for further study. The author encourages attendees to consider how their own fields could take advantage of new digital scholarship opportunities.

It outlines who is eligible, including public and private schools and libraries that meet criteria. Services covered include basic phone, internet, wiring, and equipment. Schools and libraries apply to the Schools and Libraries Corporation for discounts. The document provides an overview of Mineral Wells Independent School District's 2006-2010 technology plan.
building blocks - jul 09
The Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme aimed to rebuild England's secondary school estate at an estimated cost of £55 billion. While repairing inadequate infrastructure was needed, the government also aimed to use new buildings to improve educational standards through "educational transformation." However, interviews revealed that the concept of transformation is unclear and undefined. Additionally, concerns were raised about the oversight body Partnerships for Schools and whether the large investment in ICT and sustainability goals could be effectively achieved through the BSF program. The report recommends refocusing BSF solely on infrastructure without political goals of transformation in order to improve implementation and value for taxpayers.

The financial health of the UK higher education sector improved in 2014/15, with the highest surplus in 7 years at 5.6% of income, though performance varied significantly between institutions. Capital infrastructure investment also increased substantially to £4.3 billion. However, the sector faces an increasingly competitive environment and need to adapt to changes like those proposed in the recent White Paper to ensure long-term sustainability.

Breakthrough method in education, innovation-driven research or research-orie...Redactie Werkplekleren
Since 2008, VET College Zadkine, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and three
healthcare institutions in the Rijnmond region in the Netherlands have participated in the
national Workplace Learning Breakthrough Project – an initiative of the national Platform for
Vocational Education (HPBO). The project is a research and development project in which
schools, healthcare institutions and researchers work together on various issues of
workplace learning. The main question is: how can the cooperation between education and
professional practice in learning in the workplace (in so called learning departments) be
optimized, using both scientific and practical knowledge and experience?
The Rijnmond project focuses on workplace learning in learning departments in hospitals,
nursing homes and other healthcare institutions in the region. About ten students ‘care’
(intermediate level vocational education) and ‘nursing’ (intermediate level vocational
education as well as higher level of vocational education), work and learn together in a
learning department under the responsibility of qualified health professionals (work
supervisors and trainers). The student posts are supplementary and provide all possible
activities in the field of ‘care’ and ‘nursing’. They work and learn in an authentic setting,
namely the actual job practice, in which the students – after obtaining their diploma – will
continue their professional carreer. During their workplace learning route, they will be
supervised by healthcare professionals and teachers from intermediate and higher
vocational education (also designated as trainers).
In the project a major role is allocated to (practical) research and experimentation. Thereby,
"co-maker ship in triplicate" – between education and healthcare institutions, between
research and education, and between rural and regional actors – will be addressed (Van den
Berg, 2009; Van den Berg, De Jongh, Klous & Streumer, 2010). These activities are dedicated
to the improvement of the practice of workplace learning. This means that research is
focused on specific changes in that part of the curriculum that is situated in the professional
practice. The emphasis is on increasing the professional behaviour of trainers, offering them
a wider range of intervention tools to increase learning effects for students. During an
interim audit, the Audit Committie described the approach used in the Rijnmond project, as
"the Rotterdam approach" and the commission called for this approach to be documented
further. This resulted in the seventh report on the project, which specifically, addresses the
'co-maker ship' between research and education (Van den Berg & Streumer, 2011).Nis of germany2 (luisen)

Sam Hawkins, Sociology Honours, 2013
This document is a thesis submitted by Sam Hawkins in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Bachelor of Arts with Honours degree from the University of Sydney in 2013. The thesis analyzes the 2011 Gonski Review of school funding in Australia and argues that through appropriating neoliberal discourse, the Review was able to garner bipartisan political support despite recommendations that undermine neoliberal policies. The thesis first establishes the neoliberal context influencing the Australian education system and then performs a critical discourse analysis of the Review to show how it strategically deployed neoliberal concepts to justify reforms while challenging neoliberal dominance.

The document provides the government's response to a report by the Education and Skills Committee on special educational needs (SEN). It acknowledges increases in SEN funding but argues major policy review is unnecessary given progress. It addresses calls for a national framework with local flexibility and priorities for 2006-2009. Key points are that SEN outcomes are improving, provision can be effective in all school types, and statutory assessments and statements should be retained while continuing work to improve the process and support for parents.

Role of qualifications and end point assessment in apprenticeships
This document provides an overview and summary of different international approaches to qualifications and end point assessment in apprenticeships by:
1. Outlining the context of reforms introducing end point assessment for apprenticeships in England and removing the requirement to attain vocational qualifications.
2. Comparing approaches through an international analysis of apprenticeship systems in countries like Canada, Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
3. Noting that while end point assessment is used abroad, it typically works in conjunction with assessing skills over time and through formal qualifications, unlike England's new sole focus on end point assessment.

Language-impaired preschoolers: A follow-up into adolescence.
Stothard, S. E., Snowling, M. J., Bishop, D. V., Chipchase, B. B., & Kaplan, C. A. (1998). Language-impaired preschoolers: A follow-up into adolescence. Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research: JSLHR, 41(2), 407–418. https://doi.org/10.1044/jslhr.4102.407
ABSTRACT: This paper reports a longitudinal follow-up of 71 adolescents with a preschool history of speech-language impairment, originally studied by Bishop and Edmundson (1987). These children had been subdivided at 4 years into those with nonverbal IQ 2 SD below the mean (General Delay group), and those with normal nonverbal intelligence (SLI group). At age 5;6 the SLI group was subdivided into those whose language problems had resolved, and those with persistent SLI. The General Delay group was also followed up. At age 15-16 years, these children were compared with age-matched normal-language controls on a battery of tests of spoken language and literacy skills. Children whose language problems had resolved did not differ from controls on tests of vocabulary and language comprehension skills. However, they performed significantly less well on tests of phonological processing and literacy skill. Children who still had significant language difficulties at 5;6 had significant impairments in all aspects of spoken and written language functioning, as did children classified as having a general delay. These children fell further and further behind their peer group in vocabulary growth over time.

Short talk on 2 cognitive biases and reproducibility
Cognitive biases like schemata and confirmation bias can lead researchers to see patterns in random data and selectively remember results that agree with their hypotheses. This can contribute to poor reproducibility and replicability in science. Even when trials are registered, publication and reporting biases still result in an overestimation of treatment effects. Researchers must be aware of how these biases can influence their work at every stage, from initial data collection and analysis to citation of prior studies. Proper understanding of statistical concepts like p-values is also important to avoid misinterpreting results.

Otitis media with effusion (OME) provides an example of how ascertainment bias can induce spurious correlations. Early work suggested it impacted children's language, but when unbiased samples are studied, the effect is absent or very small

Data simulation basics
This document demonstrates how to simulate experimental data in Excel and R to gain insights into study design and statistical analysis. It shows how to generate random normal distributions to represent two groups, with and without an effect added, and then perform t-tests on the simulated data. Running many such simulations allows understanding of false positive rates, statistical power for different sample sizes, and other statistical properties before collecting real data. The key benefits of simulation include anticipating study design issues, clarifying optimal analysis methods, and performing power analyses to determine appropriate sample sizes.

Talk on reproducibility in EEG research
This document discusses issues with reproducibility in EEG research and proposes solutions. It notes that flexible choices in EEG methodology and exploratory analyses can lead to false positives. Simulations demonstrate how double dipping, multiple comparisons, and lack of independent replication can produce significant effects from noise alone. The document advocates for preregistering analysis plans, including dummy effects in studies, subdividing data for exploration and replication, and using registered reports to improve reproducibility in EEG research.
What is Developmental Language Disorder
This document summarizes an international consensus on diagnosis and terminology for children with language disorders.
The consensus was reached through a Delphi approach involving 57 experts. They agreed on using the term "developmental language disorder" or DLD to identify children needing specialist help beyond what is available in the classroom. DLD is a broad category that encompasses heterogeneous impairments and overlaps with other neurodevelopmental disorders.
The experts outlined diagnostic criteria for DLD, including impaired social/educational functioning and risk factors. Key issues discussed were distinguishing delays from disorders, ensuring access to services, and the need for more intervention research to strengthen the evidence base and outcomes. The goal was to find agreed terminology to help children while minimizing negative

Fallibility in science: Responsible ways to handle mistakes
The document discusses responsible ways to handle mistakes in science. It examines several case studies of scientists retracting papers due to errors. Key points made include:
- Mistakes are common in science but can be avoided through open sharing of data and code
- It is important to promptly correct the record when mistakes are found to avoid others building on erroneous work
- Retracting papers for honest errors should not negatively impact scientists' careers; integrity is valued
- When others cannot replicate results, discussion and collaboration are preferable to public accusations

Dorothy Bishop gave a lecture on the difficulty of agreeing on definitions and terminology for children's language disorders. She discussed how different disciplines and countries use varying definitions and labels for conditions like specific language impairment. Bishop highlighted research she has conducted using the CATALISE project, a multinational Delphi consensus study, to try to establish common terminology through an expert review process. However, she noted there are still sticking points in reaching full agreement across all perspectives.
Bishop reproducibility references nov2016
This document discusses the reproducibility crisis in science and potential solutions. It provides references from numerous papers and talks on topics like false positive findings, small sample sizes undermining reliability, questionable research practices, replication in genome-wide association studies, and unintended consequences of open research practices. The references cover pre-registration, cell line contamination issues, impact of journal impact factors, and historical examples like the discredited MMR/autism study.
On the importance of WIPS not being wimps
This document discusses women's self-perception and its role in the underrepresentation of women in science. It notes that schemas, or stereotypes, can negatively influence women's self-perception and lead to imposter syndrome, lower confidence, and reluctance to speak out or take on leadership roles. However, it argues that schemas can change if exposure and experiences change, and that small steps taken by individual women to increase their visibility, such as asking questions or engaging in debates, can help disrupt harmful schemas over time and encourage more women to participate in scientific discourse.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

What's wrong with our Universities, and will the Teaching Excellence Framework put it right?
- 1. University of Southampton Distinguished Lecture 1st February 2017: 6 p.m. What’s wrong with our Universities, and will the Teaching Excellence Framework put it right? In 2016, thegovernmentintroduced the Higher Education and Research Bill 2016-17,which is currently being debated in the Houseof Lords and has particular importance for universities in England. The Bill contains a complex mix of proposals that involvestructuralchanges in the relationship between governmentand universities, new criteria for whatconstitutes a university, and the placement of teaching and research in different Departments of State. A major focus of the Green Paper introducing the Bill was the need for a Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) to parallel the Research Excellence Framework (REF). The TEF does not require new legislation and, even though the Bill is now facing someopposition in the Lords, the TEF is now being implemented without any parliamentary scrutiny. In this talk I will evaluate: the arguments made in the Green Paper in favour of introducing a TEF the formalresponses to TEF proposals in the Green Paper specific criticism of the statistical basis of the proposed TEF cost-benefit analysis of the TEF I will conclude that the TEF is seriously flawed. Itwill not achieve its intended aims, but will instead be a costly and bureaucratic exercise based on invalid and unreliable metrics. Furthermore, by linking fee levels with ratings, it threatens to create conflict between students and vice-chancellors. There is no question that a thriving Higher Education system needs to value teaching as well as research, and to be able to offer a diverserange of educational opportunities. The TEF, however, is not the way to achieve this. Professor Dorothy Bishop, FRS, FBA, FMedSci, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, OX1 3UD.
