This paper presents findings on a hybrid guidance curriculum in Hong Kong, a place where East meets West in education and
in many other spheres. A qualitative case study method is applied that uses questions for understanding the ‘self’ in guidance
but incorporates Confucian cardinal human relationships of parent–child, brother–sister, husband–wife, superior–subordinate,
teacher–pupil and friend–friend in understanding the ‘other’ relationships. The study of ‘self–other relationship’ is combined
with Lawton’s (Social change, educational theory and curriculum planning, Hodder, London, 1973) model of curriculum development in Western traditions. Data obtained from stakeholders in schools include traditional Chinese
ideas as well as modern Western ideas. Implications of this framework to the study of other societies with a mix of Western
and traditional cultures are discussed.

Inclusive education represents a new agenda for educational reform that spans a wide range of socio-political, cultural, ethical,
personal and interpersonal dimensions. Working towards educational inclusion demands commitments, responsibilities and initiatives
on the part of all parties to take into consideration the meanings and purpose of education and social justice, to engage
and take collective actions in their struggle to combat the diverse forms of educational and social exclusion. This paper
presents an educational initiative to implement inclusive education in rural KwaZulu-Natal, an area of South Africa that is
most seriously affected by the pandemic of HIV and AIDS. Through the implementation of participatory video-making projects
in two schools, the authors seek to empower the voices and actions of teachers in an effort to cope with the problems of poverty
and marginalization facing many children. The outcomes of this type of participatory work with teachers have implications
for the policy-making process, which in turn, could change the ways educational policy research is structured and implemented.
Claudia Mitchell’s (Canada) research focuses on visual and other participatory methodologies, particularly in addressing gender and HIV and AIDS, teacher identity, and the culture of girlhood within broader studies of children and popular culture and media studies. She is a co-founder of the Centre for Visual Methodologies for Social Change at UKZN, which focuses on participatory visual methods and arts-based approaches to research. Naydene De Lange (South Africa) is a National Research Foundation rated researcher. Her doctoral research focused on adolescents who have Tourette’s Syndrome. However, currently working in KwaZulu-Natal where the HIV prevalence rate is highest in South Africa, her research focus shifted to HIV and AIDS, particularly using visual and participatory methodologies in addressing HIV and AIDS in rural schools and their communities. Nguyen-Thi Xuan Thuy’s (Viet Nam) doctoral research focuses on educational and social theories, inclusive education, and policy practices. She completed a Master degree in Inclusive Education at the Department of Counselling and Educational Psychology of McGill University. Prior to this she worked in inclusive education and educational management at the Department of Education and Training of Thua Thien Hue province, Viet Nam. 相似文献

Within the context of the growing development of intercultural counsellor education, the question of how different cultures
reconceptualize and transform Western counselling theories for their own context is an important one. In this intercultural
exchange in education, concepts such as ‘globalization’, ‘indigenization’ and ‘universalization’ have an impact on the education
process. This paper briefly explores these terms and movements and then highlights findings from a research project that took
place with a group of counselling graduates in Hong Kong examining how they undertook the processes of reconceptualization
and transformation. The dialogical process involved in that enabled participants and researcher to co-explore the process
of knowledge development within the counselling education field. Implications for counsellor education are highlighted.

The purpose of this study is to understand the dynamics of Korean students’ international mobility to study abroad by using
the 2-D Model. The first D, the driving force factor, explains how and what components of the dissatisfaction with domestic higher education perceived by Korean students drives
students’ outward mobility to seek foreign higher education. The second D, the directional factor, describes the factors that influence the choice of destination country for students’ outward mobility, and is explained
by the comparison of Korean students’ perceptions on the images of universities in the U.S., China, the U.K., and Australia
and their expectations for higher education in each country (categorized as ‘academic’–‘environmental’). Two questionnaire
surveys were conducted to analyze the two D factors and the research findings were integrated into suggestions for each country’s
higher education institutions that can be incorporated into their recruitment strategies for international students.

This article explores the pedagogical significance of recent shifts in scholarly attention away from first generation and
towards second generation understandings of creativity. First generation or big ‘C’ creativity locates the creative enterprise
as a complex set of behaviours and ideas exhibited by an individual, while second generation or small ‘c’ creativity locates
the creative enterprise in the processes and products of collaborative and purposeful activity. Second generation creativity
is gaining importance for a number of reasons: its acknowledged significance as a driver in the new or digital economy; recent
clarification of the notion of ‘creative capital’; the stated commitment of a growing number of universities to ‘more creativity’
as part of their declared vision for their staff and students; and, the recognition that the creative arts does not have a
monopoly on creative capability. We argue that this shift allows more space for engaging with creativity as an outcome of
pedagogical work in higher education. The article builds on the project of connecting ‘creative capital’ and university pedagogy
that is already underway, assembling a number of principles from a wide range of scholarship, from computer modelling to social
and cultural theorising. In doing so, it provides a framework for systematically orchestrating a ‘creativity-enhancing’ learning
environment in higher education.

This article addresses the question of how great are higher education students’ incentives to change study programs or institutions
to improve one’s personal employability in the course of the higher education-to-work transition process. The posed question
is addressed at a system level. Students’ mobility between programs and institutions is referred to as ‘student mobility’
and graduates’ mobility between jobs is referred to as ‘early career mobility.’ The relationship between these two separate
components of mobility is discussed in three different institutional frames: German/Finnish, Italian, and British. When depicting
the relationship between the two components of mobility, the article also considers parallel phenomena such as prolongation
of the degree-earning process and participation in work-life with student status. Indicator level analysis concerning graduates
of the year 2000 reveals important differences between the three institutional frames: in Germany and Finland, there is a
high level of student mobility at the basic degree level combined with a low level of career mobility after graduation; in
the UK the opposite transition logic than that of Germany and Finland occurs, and in Italy students demonstrate prolonged
transitions with little student mobility and early career mobility.

Ecofutures in Africa: Jenny Robson’s Savannah 2116 AD 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Elsie Cloete 《Children‘s Literature in Education》2009,40(1):46-58
Jenny Robson’s Savannah 2216 AD, a dark, futuristic novel for young adults, provides a strong critique on much of the world’s predilection for saving Africa’s
animals at the expense of those human communities who are perceived to be in the way of the preservation of the continent’s
remaining wild spaces. Using Robson’s novel as template, this article examines a few of those discourses regarding wilderness
and conservation that have attached to Africa. Savannah 2116 AD strongly yet indirectly hints that literary educators should revisit the often unquestioned adoption of ‘greening’ agendas
in school curricula which persist in re-colonising geo-political spaces by ignoring the fact that erecting fences between
perceived conservators and destroyers, between spaces for wild animals and humans, merely condemns Africa’s animal riches
to eventual death.

Jim Kaput lived a full life in mathematics education and we have many reasons to be grateful to him, not only for his vision
of the use of technology in mathematics, but also for his fundamental humanity. This paper considers the origins of his ‘big
ideas’ as he lived through the most amazing innovations in technology that have changed our lives more in a generation than
in many centuries before. His vision continues as is exemplified by the collected papers in this tribute to his life and work.

We report an attempted replication of G. T. W. Patrick and J. A. Gilbert’s pioneering sleep deprivation experiment ‘Studies
from the psychological laboratory of the University of Iowa. On the effects of loss of sleep’, conducted in 1895/96. Patrick
and Gilbert’s study was the first sleep deprivation experiment of its kind, performed by some of the first formally trained
psychologists. We attempted to recreate the original experience in two subjects, using similar apparatus and methodology,
and drawing direct comparisons to the original study whenever possible. We argue for a strong influence of an ‘Americanized’
Wundtian psychology on Patrick and Gilbert, a claim supported biographically by their education and by their experimental
methods. The replication thus opens interesting new perspectives, which are unlikely to be generated by any other historical
approach.
Thomas Fuchs earned his PhD in experimental psychology at Bowling Green State University. In his dissertation he conducted research on nocturnally migranting birds, investigating their potential as an animal model of sleep deprivation. Thomas is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Washington State University studying positive affect and social attachment in infant rodents. Jeffrey Burgdorf received his Ph.D. in psychology at Bowling Green State University, and he is now Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University. His research involves using animal models of human emotionality to uncover the biochemicals that control emotion in humans and animals. 相似文献

Participation,financial support and the marginal student 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This paper examines differences between the decision-making of marginal and nonmarginal students about participation in higher
education (HE). We distinguish between two kinds of marginality: being ‘borderline’ on account of prior achievements in school
and being ‘unsure’ after taking prior achievement into account. We identify a significant minority of students in their final
year of schooling who are unsure about participation in higher education even though they have prior school achievements typical
of entrants to HE. Being ‘unsure’ is found to be unrelated to socioeconomic background, but it is associated with significantly
different attitudes towards the potential benefits and risks of participation, different levels of knowledge about financial
support that is available and different approaches to information search about participation in HE.

Results of various studies suggest that multimedia ‘case methods’ (activities associated with case documentaries) have many
benefits in university-based teacher education contexts. They can, for example, help to ‘bridge the gap’ between perspectives
and practices held by academic teacher educators and those held by student-teachers – who may adhere to perspectives and practices
commonly supported in schools. On the other hand, some studies, along with theoretical arguments, suggest that there are limits
to the effectiveness of multimedia case methods – because, for example, they can never fully represent realities of teaching
and learning in schools. Furthermore, often missing from multimedia case methods is the student-teacher in the role of teacher. To address these concerns, we modified an existing multimedia case method by associating it with a special practice teaching
situation in a school context. Qualitative data analyzed using constant comparative methods suggest that student-teachers
engaged in this modified multimedia case method developed relatively deep commitments to encouraging students to conduct technology
design projects – a non-traditional practice in school science. Factors that appeared to influence development of this motivation
included student-teachers’ pre-instructional perspectives about science and the personalization and contextualization inherent
to the modified multimedia case method.

The article develops a conception of education that we have named liminal education. Liminal education tries to counter the
centripetal tendencies of the centre (particular that of the consumer market) by disclosing alternative positions in order
to enable children to cultivate a critically reflective disposition. A second feature of liminal education is that it carries
the potential to assist children in recognising that otherness is not the same thing as being alien. Finally, it is characterised
by an embodiment of the notion of ‘communitas’, a state in which no one can have authority over another or see themselves
as superior. For children who live within the dominant (centre) culture and who find security in consumerism, liminal education
is important because it offers them imaginative possibilities which could give rise to alternative conceptions of the good
life. Children in liminal communities will benefit from liminal education, because they will have a better understanding of
their own position and those of others, which, we believe, will reduce the anxiety of loosing one’s identity and thereby the
need to return to anxiously held foundational beliefs.

This paper examines the notion of ‘competence’ in the VET systems of France and England. While both countries have developed
‘competence-based’ approaches, underlying the similar terminology are distinct meanings, rooted in the countries’ institutional
structures and labour processes. A key distinction is identified between a knowledge-based model in France and a skills-based
model in England. Competence in the French sense is multi-dimensional and relies on the integration of practical and theoretical
knowledge, as well as personal and social qualities within a broadly defined occupational field. By contrast, in England,
competence refers to the performance of fragmented and narrowly defined tasks, with minimal underpinning knowledge. Thus,
whereas ‘competence’ in the English VET system usually denotes functional employability for what may be relatively low-skilled
employment, in France, it encapsulates the multi-dimensional development of the individual as a citizen as well as an employee.

Market orientation in managing relationships with multiple constituencies of Croatian higher education 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this paper, market orientation in Croatian higher education (HE) is discussed within the context of stakeholder-oriented
management. Drawing on existing studies, the ‘classical’ empirical model, describing the market orientation of generic nonprofit
organisations, has been adapted to the contingencies of the Croatian HE sector. Empirical testing of the model, based on primary
data drawn from the majority of public institutions of higher learning in the country, reveals inadequate market orientation
toward the relevant stakeholders. Although social market orientation currently does not exist in Croatian HE institutions,
the empirical results confirm that it might be possible to initiate a ‘virtuous circle’, in which relevant market orientation
and stakeholder management practices, directed toward one or other of the stakeholders, simultaneously enhance orientation
toward the other stakeholders. Unfortunately, the current situation in HE is not satisfactory, which could hinder the implementation
of development of knowledge society in Croatia.

Besides “inclusion” meaning incorporation within the education system, there is also “inclusion” signifying the incorporation
of knowledge, two distinct processes which went hand-in-hand to start with but which, as education systems expanded, have
begun to drift apart. While the population as a whole, including the more deprived sectors, has improved its educational level
over past decades, in more recent times there has been little to show for the considerable efforts made. It is as if the process
had reached a ceiling, owing to practices of educational marginalization that are so embedded that they perpetually recreate
themselves. The education system has lost its bearings because a new approach is needed with the emergence of the information
and communication society, which implies a new definition of knowledge, cut off from its origins. The idea of “including”
must also be a key notion in relation to the search for a fairer, more democratic society. This implies developing a number
of viewpoints or fundamental attitudes when we consider inclusive education. There is the ideological/political point of view—which
means developing the ideal of justice and democracy within the framework of education as a right; the epistemological aspect—which
entails supporting the new educational approach in the very latest developments of the theory of complexity; the pedagogical
aspect—which entails adopting the advances made in the new learning sciences in order to develop a new “technology of educational
production” (didactics) that will guarantee the entire population’s ability to reason; and the institutional point of view—which
requires reviewing the notion of a “school system” and incorporating other institutional spaces by considering the whole of
society as offering potential “learning environments”.

Postcolonial foldings of space and identity in science education: limits, transformations, prospects
The four essays reviewed here constitute a worthwhile attempt to discuss various aspects of postcolonial theory, and offer
constructive ideas to ongoing academic as well as public conversations with respect to whether science education can meet
the challenges of educating an increasingly diverse population in the 21st century. These essays are grounded in the assumption
that it is difficult to make meaningful and transformative changes in science education so that educators’ efforts take into
consideration the dramatic changes (i.e., diverse culture and racial origins, language, economic status etc.) of ‘an era of
globalization’ in order to meet the demands of today’s schools. Each of these four essays problematizes various aspects of
the social and cultural conditions of science education nowadays using different ‘postcolonial’ ideas to interpret the implications
for science learning and teaching. Although the term ‘postcolonial’ has certainly multiple meanings in the literature, we
use this term here to describe the philosophical position of these essays to challenge long-standing and hegemonic practices
and taken-for-granted assumptions in science education. Through critical analysis of these essays, we engage in a dialogue
with the authors, focusing on two of what seem crucial issues in understanding the potential contributions as well as the
risks of postcolonial concepts in science education; these issues are space and identity. We choose these issues because they permeate all four essays in interesting and often provocative ways.

To explicate certain phenomena, e.g., the possibility of deduction without definition, we hypothesize that an individual is
able to understand and appreciate reasoning with a due feeling of its necessity when the concept image of each concept involved
in the reasoning has reached a certain level of development; we then speak of deep intuition. This conception is presented (with a variety of examples) in the framework of D. Tall’s theory of three worlds of mathematics
(‘conceptual-embodied’, ‘proceptual-symbolic’, and ‘formal-axiomatic’).

Conflicting measures of state support for postsecondary education create confusion and misunderstanding that convolute debates
about states’ postsecondary education funding. The use of multiple measures is largely unnecessary, though. A simple single
measure is constructed that adequately quantifies both states’ postsecondary need and states’ ability to pay. Specifically,
this study proposes measuring state support for postsecondary education as state postsecondary funding per high school graduate
over the previous four years per dollar of per capita income.

This study examined how selected school mathematics textbooks in China, Singapore, and USA at the lower secondary grade level
represent problem-solving procedures. The analysis of problem-solving procedures was carried out in two layers – general strategies,
which adopted Pólya’s four-stage problem-solving model, and specific strategies, which consisted of 17 different problem-solving
heuristics such as ‘acting it out,’ ‘looking for a pattern,’ ‘working backwards,’ etc. Both similarities and differences in
the representation of problem-solving procedures in the textbooks across the three countries were revealed and compared. The
possible reasons for the similarities and especially for the differences were explored. Suggestions about how to improve the
representation of problem-solving in mathematics textbooks were provided at the end of the study.
