becoming a teacher in rural areas how curriculum influences Government Contracted pre service physics teachers motivation
International Journal of Educational Research, 2019Co-Authors: Xiaoming ZhaiAbstract:Abstract Using a retrospective cohort approach, this study examined how explicit and hidden curriculum impact Government-Contracted pre-service physics teachers’ motivation to work in rural schools. We found that the rural teacher motivation includes two layers: “to be a teacher” and “to be a teacher in rural areas.” Most participants lacked an intrinsic motivation when entering the program, thus experiencing a motivation reshaping process. The explicit curriculum created imbalance but eventually enhanced their self-efficacy and was helpful for them to be aware of the value of serving rural communities. The hidden curriculum such as college teachers, social information and Government Contract suggested the pre-service teachers contemplate their motivation, better understand their career choices, and increase their value of the social utility of teaching.

cost estimation and analysis for Government Contract pricing in china
ICSP'07 Proceedings of the 2007 international conference on Software process, 2007Co-Authors: Mei He, Ye Yang, Qing Wang, Mingshu LiAbstract:Software cost estimation methods and their applications in Government Contract pricing have been developed and practiced for years. However, in China, the Government Contract process has been questioned in some aspects. It is largely based on analogy to past experience and/or expert judgment, with a lack of informed decision making supported by mature estimation methods. Moreover, two primary stages of the Contract review process for technical and finance contents are disjointed, which greatly limits the accuracy and efficiency of Government investment decision. To improve cost estimation and assessment practices in Chinese Government Contract pricing, we propose the COnstructive Government cost MOdel (COGOMO), which provides guidance and insights for formal cost estimation. This model emphasizes the importance of accumulating knowledge from both Government and industry data repositories, and leverages to establish an industry benchmarking reference model for local Government Contract pricing. It integrates multiple classical research results in addition to COCOMO II, and establishes the first formal model on software cost estimation and analysis for Chinese Government context. A list of suggestions is also discussed for Government's further improvement on estimating practices.

desiderata objectives for a system of Government Contract law
2011Co-Authors: Steven L SchoonerAbstract:This brief paper - presented at a symposium presented for a developing nation engaged in drafting of a Government procurement law - offers a diverse menu of aspirations frequently mentioned in the context of public purchasing. This paper introduces nine goals frequently identified for Government procurement systems: (1) competition; (2) integrity; (3) transparency; (4) efficiency; (5) customer satisfaction; (6) best value; (7) wealth distribution; (8) risk avoidance; and (9) uniformity. The exercise of identifying aspirations is important, particularly because it is difficult for legislators or policymakers to articulate what they hope to achieve through a buying regime. While no system can achieve all of these goals, determining which goals are most important is a daunting, ever-evolving challenge.

A Random Walk: The Federal Circuit’s 2010 Government Contracts Decisions
2011Co-Authors: Steven L SchoonerAbstract:This Article discusses the Federal Circuit's 2010 Government Contracts cases. It begins with some perspective on, and empirical quantification of, the Federal Circuit’s level of specialization and evolving jurisprudence in the field of Government Contracts. It eventually turns to analysis of a hodge-podge of unrelated cases: three award controversies (or bid protests), a handful of post award performance disputes, a few selections from the ongoing behemoths of litigation in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims - Winstar and Spent Nuclear Fuel, and a potentially analogous implied warranty case. Overall, the article suggests that the Federal Circuit's 2010 Government Contracts cases appear to lack significant volume, thematic coherence, or dramatic impact. It also reinforces the perception that the court does not, and does not desire to, embrace the unique nature of the federal Government Contract regime as an analytical premise or predicate. Rather, the court increasingly appears to prefer a more consistent, streamlined, simplified, or even formalistic approach to its highly varied docket.

HICSS - Government Contract evaluation
Proceedings of the 32nd Annual Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences. 1999. HICSS-32. Abstracts and CD-ROM of Full Papers, 1999Co-Authors: C.l. Cukierman, S.k. RaffettoAbstract:The evaluation of proposals for compliance and merit in Government Contracts by its very nature must be structured in order to be fair. Because of this requirement to be absolutely fair, the process is usually laborious and, time-consuming. In December 1997, the United States Postal Service (USPS) approached Battelle to assist it in the evaluation of proposals submitted for the Midrange Computer Acquisition. The criteria were derailed yet subject to interpretation by the companies submitting proposed solutions to the mission requirements. Agreement and consensus of the evaluators were critical. Saving time was essential to reach the successful completion of the task before the Christmas holidays. The authors developed a methodology to produce the desired results for the meeting convener and evaluation committee. This paper presents the development and application of a methodology for evaluating Government Contracts using GroupSystems for Windows. The methodology has defined steps and is repeatable.
