This interpretive study examined the lived experiences of young college-educated Taiwanese women employed as clerical workers. Using hermeneutic phenomenology as the research methodology, the study explored the meanings of the participants lived experiences. Systematic text analysis of the data revealed various experiences and expectations. Experience themes identified in the study were: (a) bored and busy; and (b) disrespected and mistrusted. Major expectation themes revealed are: (a) career dreams and aspirations; and (b) desire for meaningful work. The study emphasised the importance of career development education in young Taiwanese women. The experiences of Taiwanese female clerical workers as recorded in the study reflected a need for career development, which might provide insightful information for career development scholars and practitioners. 相似文献

Scientific thought is regarded here as both a type of goal-directed behaviour (practice) and its product, and the question of its nature posed in terms of that goal and of means appropriate for achieving it, preferably with regard to an existing paradigm (exemplar) such as the Galilean-Newtonian. Empiricism, a widely received view of the nature of science, is examined and rejected, as is the general idea that scientific thought has philosophical foundations. The question of the actual or possible scientific status of the human sciences is raised and some methodological guidelines for an answer to it suggested.This paper is a version of one commissioned for the forthcoming International Handbook of Science Education edited by Ken Tobin and Barry Fraser (Kluwer Academic Publications). Thus it deals in a condensed way with wide-ranging and complex matters that would ordinarily be treated separately and at greater length. (Editor) 相似文献

In pronounced contrast to English, Italian orthography contains extremely regular sound-to-spelling correspondences and therefore Italian words could, in principle, be spelled perfectly correctly using nonlexical phoneme-to-grapheme conversion rules alone. If this were so, then there should be no lexical influence upon nonword spelling. However, the present experiment reports lexical priming effects for two inconsistently spelled segments in Italian words: Italian participants were more likely to spell the nonword tece as TECIE if they had just heard the word specie rather than pece and were more likely to spell the nonword cuodo as QUODO if they had heard the word quota rather than cuoco. These results suggest that Italian, despite its regular orthography, is not spelled purely nonlexically. It is argued that a dual-route model of spelling production can be applied to Italian. 相似文献

It is a main contention of this paper that the history of science is not so much a story of the progressive advance in our understanding and discovery of the facts of nature, but rather, an account of different ways of seeing things; where the things thus seen are to a considerable extent themselves the result of realizational processes operating in terms of some theory or other. But further, such theories are in turn controlled by some respective methodology which has its history: with the latter itself a record of different views about those elements believed to be essential for any adequate constructionof scientific theories. The paper then distinguishes between three views, the rationalist, the empiricist, and the systemic processing of scientific facts; the last-named view operating under the guidance of certain leading maxims and principles. Finally, the paper formulates a triadic type of methodology whose three components mirror the three views just mentioned: the probative, the explicative and the systemic components; which in turn are then shown to generate three corresponding ontologies. 相似文献

A review of some contemporary studies based on an individual-difference model of student learning is presented. The exploratory fitting of conceptual models of student learning to atypical individual-similarity data structures is discussed, and an experimental categorisation procedure for producing such structures is outlined. Insofar as the features of some established conceptual models of student learning do not fit such atypical structures, either by virtue of their conceptual parsimony, or their underlying conceptual assumptions, the fitting of a locus model to such structures is explored. It is argued that, within the student experience of learning framework, conceptual models of student learning need to incorporate such additional dimensions of variation if such models are to be employed in individual-difference studies of student learning. 相似文献

The paper investigates conceptual relationships between the Continuous and the Discrete. Differentiation, integration and the fundamental theorem of calculus are based on corresponding operators and a corresponding theorem with functions on finite domains (discrete functions). The final section discusses the possibilities for introducing elements of a discrete analysis into the mathematics curriculum. 相似文献

This paper analyzes the interpretations of equality and the equal symbol of the third-grade children who participated in a year long whole-class socio constructivist teaching experiment. These children initially interpreted the equal symbol as a command to perform an arithmetical operation; it was less natural to them to interpret it as a relational symbol to compare two quantities. By the end of the school year, children were able to conceptualize the quantitative sameness of two numerical expressions and describe it by using the phrase is the same as, the words equal or equals, or the symbols = or =s. These children expanded their conceptualizations of equality due to their active role in class discussions, the arithmetical tasks that took into account children's difficulties, and the teacher's intellectual sensitivity to strike a delicate balance between the force of teaching and the freedom of learning (Freudenthal, 1991, p. 55). 相似文献

Multikulturelle Und Transkulturelle Erziehung: Zwei Wege Zu Kosmopolitischen Kulturellen Identitäten
Schöfthaler Traugott 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1984,30(1):11-24
Zusammenfassung Zu den wenigen universell akzeptierten Zielen in der Bildungspolitik werden Sicherung kultureller Identität und soziale Integration gerechnet. Es wird gezeigt, daß sie von gegensätzlichen Positionen in Anspruch genommen werden. Der daraus resultierende Prozeß einer Erosion universeller Werte wird anhand von Bildungsprogrammen für kulturelle Minoritäten in den Vereinigten Staaten, in Australien und in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland untersucht.Als kulturübergreifende Ursache dafür wird ein Dilemma erwünschter und unerwünschter Effekte von Identitätssicherung und Integration bestimmt: Eine gezielte Förderung der Bildungschancen kultureller Minoritäten trät zur Sicherung bedrohter kultureller Identitäten ebenso bei wie zur Segregation; ein Verzicht auf solche Förderungsmaßnahmen erleichtert soziale Integration nur um den Preis einer Verringerung von Chancengerechtigkeit.Als mögliche Auswege werden zwei Strategien interkultureller Erziehung diskutiert, die sich beide an kosmopolitischen Identitäten orientieren, jedoch Majoritäten in unterschiedlicher Weise ansprechen. Die sogenannte multikulturelle Erziehung wird charakterisiert durch das Ziel einer allgemeinen Erweiterung kulturellen Wissens, für Minoritäten ergänzt durch die Ausbildung neuer Techniken des Wissenserwerbs. Davon wird das Konzept einer transkulturellen Erziehung abgehoben, das die Veränderung der Deutungsmuster und Denkstile bei Angehörigen kultureller Majoritäten wie Minoritäten zum Ziel hat.In der Analyse der theoretischen und bildungspolitischen Hintergründe beider Strategien wird das kompensatorische Stigma besonders untersucht, das multikulturelle Erziehung für die kulturelle Mehrheit entweder wenig attraktiv erscheinen läßt oder auf Maßnahmen zur farbigeren Curriculumplanung reduziert. Dagegen wird eine Weiterentwicklung der transkulturellen Konzepte bikultureller und bikognitiver Erziehung als Ausweg aus dem Dilemma von Identität und Integration vorgeschlagen.
Preserving cultural identity and achieving social integration are among the few universally accepted objectives of educational policy and — as the article shows — support two mutually-opposing positions. As a result, there has been a gradual devaluation of universal values, which is examined by comparing educational programmes for culture minorities in the USA, Australia, and the Federal Republic of Germany.The underlying cross-cultural dilemma is manifested in some desired and undesired effects of preserving identity and encouraging integration. On the one hand, promoting educational opportunities for cultural minorities contributes towards safe-guarding endangered cultural identities but also towards cultural segregation. On the other hand, not to adopt such promotional measures may facilitate social integration but only at the price of equality of opportunity.As ways out of the dilemma, two strategies of intercultural education are discussed which, although they are orientated towards cosmopolitical identities, are at the same time attractive to majorities and minorities in different ways. The so-called multicultural education is directed towards expanding cultural knowledge generally, which — in the case of minorities — is achieved through additional development of new techniques of learning. The concept of transcultural education differs from this insofar as it aims at changing the interpretative patterns and modes of thought of members of cultural majorities and minorities alike.In analysing the theoretical background and the educational policies behind both strategies, emphasis is placed on the stigma of compensation which either makes multicultural education seem less attractive to the cultural majority or reduces measures to the colourful planning of curriculum. In contrast to this, further elaboration of the transcultural concepts of bi-cultural and bi-cognitive education, as a way out of the dilemma of identity and integration, is proposed.
Résumé La préservation de l'identité culturelle et l'intégration sociale comptent parmi les quelques objectifs de la politique de l'éducation acceptés universellement et corroborent, comme le montre l'auteur de cet article, deux positions opposées. Le résultat en est une diminution progressive des valeurs universelles, que l'on examine en s'appuyant sur les programmes éducatifs destinés aux minorités culturelles aux USA, en Australie et en République fédérale d'Allemagne.Les conséquences désirées et non désirées de la préservation de l'identité et de l'intégration sont considérées comme dilemme trans-culturel. D'une part, la promotion des facilités d'accès à l'éducation pour les minorités culturelles contribue à la préservation des identités culturelles menacées. D'autre part, le refus de telles mesures promotionnelles peut faciliter l'intégration sociale mais seulement au prix de l'égalité des chances.En tant que solutions possibles, on examine deux stratégies d'éducation interculturelle qui, bien qu'elles soient orientées vers des identités cosmopolites, touchent cependant de différentes façons les majorités comme les minorités. La soi-disante éducation multiculturelle est axée sur le développement général des connaissances qui, dans le cas des minorités, est complété par le développement de nouvelles techniques d'apprentissage. Le concept d'éducation trans-culturelle diffère de ceci dans la mesure où il vise le changement des modes d'interprétation et de la façon de penser des membres des majorités culturelles comme des minorités.Dans l'analyse des données de base théoriques et des éléments des politiques de l'éducation des deux stratégies, on place un accent sur le stigma compensatoire qui, soit fait paraître l'éducation multiculturelle moins attrayante pour la majorité culturelle, soit réduit les mesures prises pour une planification colorée du curriculum. En revanche, le développement des concepts trans-culturels d'éducation biculturelle et bicognitive est proposé en tant qu'issue du dilemme de l'identité et de l'intégration.相似文献

Swedish universities are required to change towards more effective self-regulation as the government has recently reduced state steering and devolved further responsibilities to them. In this paper, self-regulation is related to the concept of autonomy, a concept which is analysed on the two dimensions of purpose and authority, resulting in four models of state governance and consequently in a different space of action for the institutions. However, in order to develop self-regulation, the space granted must also be used effectively to realise autonomy. Six Swedish higher education institutions are analysed concerning how they have used their new space of action and what restrictions they have met in their efforts for self-regulation. 相似文献

Foreign study is a multifaceted phenomenon - its impact is felt on academic institutions in both the host and sending countries, on the economies of nations, and of course on the individuals involved. With more than one million students studying abroad, foreign study has assumed considerable importance in higher education planning. This article considers the many aspects of foreign study and discusses the interrelationships of these elements. The policies of the host nations, for example, have an impact on higher education planning in the sending countries. The non-return of foreign students, traditionally referred to as the brain drain, is considerably more complex than was once thought since Third World graduates settled in the industrialized nations often retain contacts with their home countries and increasingly return after a period abroad. This article also considers the various push and pull factors which determine the constantly changing flow of foreign students.This study was supported by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Centre for Educational Research and Innovation. It was presented at the International Seminar on Higher Education and the Flow of Foreign Students, convened by the Hochschul-Informations-System, with support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Science and the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Arts in Hannover, Germany on 26th–28th April 1990. 相似文献

This paper suggests a theoretical framework to deal with some well known phenomena in mathematical behavior. Assuming that the notions conceptual and analytical are clear enough in the domain of mathematical thinking, the notions pseudo-conceptual and pseudo-analytical are proposed and explained. Examples from mathematics classrooms, mathematics exams, and homework assignments are analyzed and discussed within the proposed theoretical framework.The notions pseudo-conceptual and pseudo-analytical proposed in this paper, actually narrow the extension of the notion cognitive by restricting it to the domain of meaningful contexts. Analysis of meaningless behaviors, it is claimed, requires a different theoretical framework. The attempt to analyze meaningless behaviors in the same way as meaningful behaviors is called here the cognitive approach fallacy. 相似文献

By integrating aspects of a philosophy of work and a sociology of work, this article draws conclusions relevant to framing a theory of vocational education. Education for work is accepted in this paper as the common central meaning of the term vocational education. The two concepts, education and work, are first examined separately: work is seen to include recreational and occupational work, while occupational work is seen to fall on a continuum ranging from constrained to unconstrained occupational work. Education and training are distinguished. After a discussion of the conceptual links which might be drawn between education and work, recommendations are made about the aims, the place, and the curriculum of vocational education within the general institution of education.
Zusammenfassung Durch die Integration von Aspekten einer Philosophie der Arbeit und einer Soziologie der Arbeit kommt der Verfasser dieses Artikels zu Schlußfolgerungen, die eine Theorie der Berufsbildung entwickeln. Bildung für die Arbeit wird in diesem Artikel als die allgemeine, zentrale Bedeutung des Begriffes Berufsbildung verstanden. Die beiden Begriffe Erziehung, und Arbeit werden zunächst einzeln untersucht: Arbeit umfaßt hier Freizeit- und Berufsarbeit; Berufsarbeit ist ein Kontinuum von mehr oder weniger vorgegebener Tätigkeit. Es wird zwischen Bildung und Ausbildung unterschieden. Im Anschluß an eine Diskussion über begriffliche Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Erziehung und Arbeit werden Vorschläge über Ziele, Einordnung und Curriculum der Berufsbildung innerhalb des allgemeinen Systems der Erziehung unterbreitet.
Résumé En intégrant des aspects d'une philosophie et d'une sociologie du travail, cet article tire des conclusions pertinentes pour l'élaboration d'une théorie de l'éducation professionnelle. L'éducation pour le travail est prise dans cet article au sens commun central du terme éducation professionnelle. Tout d'abord, on examine séparément les deux concepts éducation et travail: on considère que le travail inclut les occupations récréatives et professionnelles alors que le travail professionnel est vu en tant qu'un continuum allant du travail professionnel contraint au travail non contraint. On distingue l'éducation de la formation. Après une discussion sur les liens conceptuels qui pourraient être établis entre l'éducation et le travail, des recommandations sont faites sur les objectifs, la place et le contenu de l'éducation professionnelle au sein de l'institution générale de l'éducation.相似文献

Bacon exhorted the natural philosophers of his day to read and interpret the book of nature by clever and cunning experimentation. The increasing scientific activity after Bacon and Galileo, however, quickly produced a second book. This was a book of interpretations of nature, namely the the book of science. Newton went beyond Bacon and Galileo and developedan ongoing dialogue between these two books, a repeated give and takebetween mathematical construct and physical reality. Unfortunately, thephysics textbook, the book of science the students read, does not acquaintthem with this style of reasoning. As an example of high-grade scientificthinking this paper discusses Newton's long struggle with the concepts ofinertia and especially of centrifugal force. In his quest to understand thedynamics of circular motion Newton clearly progressed through four levelsof conceptualizations, leading to progressively less severe discrepancies, inhis ascent to a full understanding of centripetal acceleration. While it is notpossible or desirable to expect teachers or students to recapitulate high-gradescientific thinking, partial retelling of the intellectual struggle that was involved in establishing important scientific concepts must be seen as important. This kind of pedagogy, however, requires that physics teachers have a good understanding of the history of scientific ideas as well as the findings of cognitive science. 相似文献

Drawing on John Milton's Paradise Lost and on motifs found within Gnostic mythology and the poetry of William Blake, this article explores Philip Pullman's reworking of the Judeo-Christian myth of the Fall. At the centre of this investigation is Dust: a conventional metaphor for human physicality inspired by God's judgment on humanity. This article suggests that Dust is re-presented in the trilogy in a more positive manner through the development of Milton's metaphor of the dark materials into a substance in which good and evil, and spirit and matter—conceptual opposites that form the basis of religious dualism—coexist. 相似文献

There has been a variety of approaches to the study of mathematical understanding, and some of these are reviewed before outlining the background to the model we are proposing for the growth of such understanding. The model is explained in detail and illustrated with reference to the concept of fractions. Key features of the model include don't need boundaries, folding back, and the complementarities of acting and expressing that occur at each level of understanding. The theory is illustrated by examples of pupils' work from a variety of topics and stages. Finally one of the practical applications of the theory, mapping, is explained in some detail. 相似文献

An earlier research project, the Concepts in Secondary Mathematics and Science (Mathematics) project, identified both a hierarchy of levels of understanding in different areas of secondary mathematics, and a number of particular errors which were made by significant proportions of the children tested. Preliminary consideration of these errors and the strategies which appear to have given rise to them suggests that the use of informal naive methods which are limited in their applicability is widespread even at fourth-year level. The suggestion is made that there may be two systems of mathematics coexisting in the secondary school classroom: the formal taught system, and a system of child-methods which are based upon a counting, adding-on or building-up approach, and by which children attempt to solve mathematical problems within a human-sense framework. The difficulties which some children appear to experience in mathematics is suggested to be due in part to these children's non-initiation into the formal taught system. The implication of such a view for teaching and research are indicated. 相似文献

Taken in aggregate, bigger university departments did disproportionately well in the 1992 U.K. Higher Education Research Selectivity Exercise (RSE). A number of reasons are reviewed whereby such an economies of scale effect might apply both in general and with respect to the RSE. A methodology is developed whereby the RSE performance of the UK's universities across academic units can be attributed to size and non size components, the relative importance of which are then calculated for each of the old universities, paying attention to their independent designations as research and teaching institutions. Possible implications for academic planning by universities are drawn out. 相似文献
