This article examines factors affecting the development and implementation of Education Policy with special reference to the 1981 Education Act for England and Wales. Research is reported about professional practice and administrative behaviour in special education assessment. Six professional and administrative factors are identified which may affect the implementation of the new special education legislation:
- The nature of the professional domain of special education assessment;
- The emergence of competing definitions of special educational need and good practice;
- The concern for professional and administrative accountability;
- The concern for the rights of users of special education provision;
- The politicisation of special education through the development of interest groups;
- The market relations between supply and demand in special education provision.

In the last few years an increasing number of researchers has started to investigate children’s conceptions of the economic world. However, complex notions, such as those concerning the overall functioning of an economic system, have hardly been considered. In post-elementary schools children encounter some of these notions in history, geography or social studies. An investigation on this topic should therefore consider both children’s conceptions and misconceptions and the relevant information furnished at school. The present study examines how 7th graders understand two complex economic notions: capitalism and socialism. Two groups of children (N =40) were interviewed, one who had studied a geography textbook containing a large quantity of relevant information, the other one a more traditional book in which these notions were only touched on. The interview was about:
- the characteristics of capitalist and socialist system;
- how it is decided what to produce, and at what prices to sell goods in each of these systems.

Two basic points are made in this article: -We must make a choice whether we ‘isolate’ people from or ‘include’ people in our communities. Including people is the only viable option. -The key to ‘including’ people is with the very people we most often label as ‘the problems’. These ‘problem people’ can help generate answers when we learn how to listen, and when we offer genuine learning opportunities and valid partnerships with those who have been ‘missed’ and discarded. Examples from various Frontier College programs illustrate these points and elaborate the central philosophy of the College (Student Centred Individualized Learning — SCIL), which is based on the beliefs that: -All are welcome -All belong -All can learn -All have contributions to make The programmes are focused on ‘literacy’, which is a great deal more than reading and writing — it is about what kind of society we want. Literacy is a tool for ‘inclusion’ in communities. It is hard work, and includes love and tears, grief and joy, families and friends. It is based on the Right to Learn, and builds dignity, self esteem and choices. 相似文献

Based upon a nation wide campaign called Public Private Partnership—Schools in the Net (PPP-SiN) (Public Private Partnership—Schule im Netz (PPP-SiN), 2000) we were able to initiate an externally financed project of in-service teacher education. The paper describes the realization of this project. Reflections are given on why teachers hesitate to integrate ICT into their teaching. Media competencies are recognized to be key in this context. We reflect upon the following five questions:
- How do we educate the right thing as well as educate the right way?
- Which ambient conditions must be met?
- Which preliminary actions have to be taken and implemented?
- Which tools, methods and instruments do we need?
- How do we make sure that the transfer of learned knowledge will take place to find its way into successful teaching?

Asian students in increasing numbers have over the postwar period decided to go overseas for tertiary education, and an increasing proportion of those overseas students have selected the United States as their place of study. Eight elements of the changing context of Asian-American relations are identified which influence the Asian preference for American higher education:
- The improving Asian-American political links
- The increased volume of Asian-American economic exchange
- The sharp increase in Asian immigration to the United States
- The increasing similarity in the structure and content of Asian and American educational systems
- The absorptive capacity of American higher education
- The quality of American higher education
- The complementarity of Asian demand and American supply
- The opportunities provided in American higher education to cover educational costs through part-time work

Strategies implemented by 12–13 year olds to solve electricity problems are examined. Three factors account for observed strategies:
- type of problem representation, itself dependent on the knowledge base;
- cognitive personality dimensions;
- form of problem statement.
- a strategy based on misconceptions such as the vanishing current model;
- a similar strategy but greater verbalization of doubt;
- rush to use formulas;
- sequential analysis of circuit;
- application of principles learned in class.

This paper presents results of research concerning the construction of the concept of natural integers by children. By testing the same children, whose school history was known with accuracy, at one year in tervals, we have sought to determine: — How their competence in counting and numeration evolved during this period. — What the mechanisms of this evolution were. — What role school learning played. 相似文献

In this article I describe three key design issues which underlie a CIRG project building an open learning hypertext package for teaching writing skills. These are issues in: ? combining flexible materials with fixed structures; ? giving students real flexibility in learning; ? the nature of interaction in hypertext writing teaching. I outline a design strategy to meet problems in all these areas. 相似文献

Guidance and counselling services, which were introduced to Nigeria in 1959, have recently undergone rapid growth. While the approaches of the formalized guidance services have been largely Western, traditional means of approaching an individual's problems have always existed within Nigerian communities. This article identifies areas of traditional counselling that might be used alongside those of the Western system. The special areas examined were those of mural guidance, vocational counselling, marriage counselling and emotional counselling. Findings include the following:
- Every adult in the society who possesses relevant experience in any problem area is capable of playing the role of a counsellor at least for that particular problem.
- An individual who is considered in need of guidance is invited into counselling.
- The early knowledge that work is essential for every adult provides individuals with appropriate skills of choosing satisfying vocations.
- Individuals proposing marriage undergo counselling.
- Divination offers a reassuring approach to counselling situation.

This study is concerned with the problem of perspective planning of education. First it considers the underlying conception of the educational system, indicating what are the essential factors in Hungary's national education. The authors then seek, by means of a systems theory conception to give this education a place in society, and in civilization — bearing in mind that national education is “a system of relative independence”. From here they go on to examine the patterns imposed by planning for perspective development. An important section examines planning as a process and considers it as an essential concomitant of the strategy of development in the following phases:
- the politico-scientific process of formulating the conception.
- the process of checking the continuing validity of the conception.
- the decision-making process by which the conception is accepted.
- the process of initiating and implementing the conception.

In June 1988, the SA Minister of Education announced the allocation of $650,000 to boost science and technology in State primary schools. Subsequent allocations have raised funding for Phase 1 and 2 of this ‘SCI-TEC Project’ to over $1m. This level of funding for science and technology in primary schools is unprecedented in Australia. During 1989 the Independent Schools Board sponsored a pilot project along similar lines and in 1990 the Disadvantaged Schools Program of the Catholic Education Office followed suit. Although different structures have been provided, an interactive approach to in-service has been the underpinning for all three projects. This paper examines what has happened in each of these projects so far, and reviews the strategies used to:
- develop interactive models of in-service education.
- involve teachers as effective change agents in their schools
- enhance the impact of focus teachers working in neighbouring schools
- record the insights of all participants in the projects
- maintain accountable procedures when using a model of in-service which rejects a ‘top-down’ approach.

This study deals with the observation of a class composed of children aged 8–9 solving division problems. The analysis aims at differentiating the attitudes of pupils confronted with situations resulting from ‘EMPIRICAL’ learning from those observed in situations involving action resulting from ‘DIALECTIC’ learning. Two learning sequences are described in the course of the study: * The first includes four classical terms which allow the use of empirical methods to find the quotient and the remainder. * The second includes two terms elaborated so that they favour a dialectic of action with the children. * The repetition of drills of the same nature during the first learning sequence does not result in important variations as far as success and solution procedures are concerned. * On the other hand, during the second learning sequence, all pupils use a more economical solution procedure with high level success rate. 相似文献

The purpose of this two-part article is to point the way towards more sophisticated educational technologies with specific reference to educating the disadvantaged. In Part I, after summarizing some of the current problems in educating the disadvantaged, a new theory of structural learning is proposed and relationships between this theory, educational technology, and curriculum development are made explicit. This conceptual framework then is used as a basis for planning curriculum development in education. Part II shows in more detail how this plan may be applied in the real world with special reference to three specific projects:
- An efficient and self-instructional way to diagnose and teach the basic arithmetical skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- A systematic way of teaching children how to read critically based on a behavioral analysis of the process in terms of logical reasoning.
- A plan for in-service teacher education which deals with mathematical processes (as opposed to content).

The aim of this research is to study on-line written production in children. Twelve seven year old children and twelve eight year old children were asked to compose two texts (a narrative and a report). They were filmed as they wrote in order to investigate the temporal caracteristics of their composition (pauses, rates…). The results show three main findings: - the rates increases from seven to eight year old. - pauses times varied according to the syntactic organisation of the next sentence. - longer pause times are localized after punctuation marks and before connective. 相似文献

In the article three parts of classroom conversation are studied with respect to the linguistic interference between teacher and pupils. Special attention is given to the reference of words and symbols of teacher and pupils. Some conclusions are: - In classroom conversation we may consider the references of speech act as one of the basic features of learning. - For succesful transfer of references between teacher and pupil, it is necessary that they are handling the same referential frameworks. Those frameworks are very fundamental in every day speech (‘form’ and ‘color’). - Differences in references between teacher and pupils may lead to blockages in the learning. Sometimes they result in learning that is an imitation of teacher behaviour. - To avoid these unwanted effects of learning, the teacher has to ensure that learning takes place within the everyday language of the pupils. So he will have to stimulate the pupils to explicate by themselves what they perceive and what they think. 相似文献

The ILO's World Employment Programme, launched officially in 1969, constitutes the major contribution of the International Labour Organisation to the Second Development Decade in the area of employment objectives and policies. The general aim of the World Employment Programme (WEP) is to provide concrete and specific guidelines to policy-makers and planners on policies and measures which enable them to choose those development strategies which have a greater weight attached to productive employment creation, and to assist in their implementation. The following activities have recently been undertaken to give practical effect to the World Employment Programme. First, so-called comprehensive employment strategy missions have been sent to Colombia, Ceylon, Iran and Kenya (ILO, 1970, 1971, 1972a, 1972b). In the light of a definition and diagnosis of the employment problem in these countries, these missions have proposed a long-term strategy based on fundamental changes in key areas of development policy, including education and training. They have also drawn up an immediate programme of action to face the most urgent problems. Second, regional teams have been established in Latin America and Asia, and several subregional teams are in the process of being constituted in Africa. Set up with a view to making a comprehensive investigation of employment problems in the countries of the region and assisting them in formulating employment policies and programmes, they are keeping under review the progress and obstacles encountered and identifying needs for further direct assistance. Third, a major research programme has been launched. The principal elements of the WEP's research programme are the following major projects which are currently being carried out or are about to start:
- population and employment;
- technology and employment;
- income distribution and employment;
- education and employment;
- international trade and employment;
- urban employment problems; and
- feasibility of emergency employment schemes.
