The purpose of this article is to analyze the meaning and presumptions of competence in the concrete context of knowledge
capitalism. First, the nature of competence as a ‘commodification of human ability’ that obtains a standardized monetary value
to sell in the labor market, is elucidated by applying Karl Marx’s critical theory. Second, it is further investigated that,
in the new context of the global learning economy, the production of the competence as a commodity itself becomes a key industry,
representing itself a crucialsub- system of knowledge capitalism. Third, this paper explains how competence discourse has a great deal to do with the current drastic
changes in the educational paradigm from ‘nation-state education’ to ‘global learning economy’. These changes are illustrated
by how traditional school subject-based curricula are replaced by competency-based curricula, academic qualifications integrated
into a unified form of qualification framework, and school achievement is evaluated according to the ‘demanded workplace competence’.
It is also argued that human competencies by nature have ‘double-bind’ characteristics: while it is pushed to meet the demands
as knowledge commodities, human beings themselves are beyond any notion of tradability, and the new capitalism based on human
commodities, if any, should reveal new rules to play the game. 相似文献

The supra-national level has become increasingly important in educational policy formulation. This paper describes and compares
two settings in which growth in these supra-national policies is evident—in Europe and in Africa. Key themes arising in policy
documents in each context are examined. A distinction is drawn in analysis between themes classified as ‘global means’, such
as qualification frameworks and quality assurance mechanisms, which are becoming international norms and which show close
similarity across contexts, and regional goals or ‘themes’ in supra-national policy. The paper argues that although there
are apparent similarities between the policy goals espoused in ‘regional themes’, context plays an important part in understanding
the meanings of these policy goals. In closer analysis, there are differences both in the underlying problems which the policy
goals are intended to address, and in the prioritisation given to these goals. This finding is examined in the light of debates
regarding policy convergence, specifically drawing on Vaira’s (2004) framework for institutional analysis. 相似文献

This paper takes up the question of the way in which ‘the problem with educational Research’ is represented. It takes as its
point of departure two recent views on ‘the Problem’ — one expressed by an educational journalist and one presented by the
Australian Council of Deans of Education. It locates these within a larger frame of international debate about educational
research and its problems and considers how these arise out of particular dispositions towards educational research and, by
extension towards, education itself. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to develop an instrument for evaluating how an education program has been implemented. Such evaluation
can provide insight into the effectiveness of a program. Examined here was the Olympic Education Program used in Greek schools
since 2000. In it, students learn the history of the Olympic games and the importance of exercise for health along with the
principles and values of sports and volunteerism. The evaluation instrument underlying this study addressed the following
six factors: ‘facilities’, ‘administration’, ‘educational material’, ‘student–teacher relationships’, ‘educational procedures’,
and ‘training’. Results indicate that the instrument, while adequate for assessing effectiveness, should be combined with
advanced statistical methods. 相似文献

This study analyses the discourse among the teacher and the students, members of three (3) small groups, who learn in the
environment of a stand-alone computer. Two educational environments are examined: the first one, a “virtual laboratory” (Virtual
scale-DELYS) and the second one, a computer modeling environment (ModelsCreator). The ‘Virtual Scale’ environment provides
users with curriculum focused feedback and in that sense it can be categorized as directive. The ModelsCreator environment
provides users merely with a representation of their own conception of curriculum concepts, so it can be categorized as an
open-ended environment. The goal of this research is to exemplify the way the two educational software environments support
(a) the development of collective thinking in peer— and teacher-led discussion and (b) students’ autonomy. The software tools
of the “Virtual scale” along with the resources provided for the problem solving created an educational framework of hypothesis
testing. This framework did not limit the students’ contributions by directing them to give short answers. Moreover, it supported
the students’ initiatives by providing tools, representations and procedures that offered educationally meaningful feedback.
Based on the above results, we discuss a new educationally important structure of software mediation and describe the way
the two software activities resourced collective thinking and students’ initiatives. Finally, for each type of software environment,
we propose certain hypotheses for future research regarding the support of collaborative problem solving. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that performance assessment increases educational value in teachinglearning activities
using a quasi-experimental research design. In this research, the three measurement criteria of educational value are suggested
as ‘improvement & advancement,’ ‘sincerity & enthusiasm,’ and ‘individuality & wholeness.’ A pre-test was administered to
4 classes (156 students) in 7th grade. Classes were divided into an experimental group (2 classes, 79 students) and a control
group (2 classes, 77 students), according to the pre-test results. Only the experimental group was involved in the performance
assessment for 9 weeks. The results of this study show that performance assessment has a positive effect on the educational
value of teaching-learning activities in schools. 相似文献

This article focuses on educational enterprises outside the formal sector, such as museums, botanical gardens and interactive
science centres. International research is drawn on to illuminate how design, culture, educational strategies and settings
combine to affect the way in which young people respond to experiences on offer, leading to analysis of the impact of such
settings in promoting learning, and the likely implications for those who staff such venues. Aikenhead’s concept of the educator
as ‘culture broker’ is developed to suggest ways in which learning might be best supported. It envisages a shift from ‘delivery’
strategies targeted at large groups towards approaches which focus on what learners choose to know about using dialogue between
children and ‘known and trusted people’. Analysis of observed responses in various settings is undertaken from a sociocultural
perspective using the notion of communities of practice. Implications for the roles of education managers and their staff
in further research are developed. 相似文献

This paper presents the systematic development of a ‘Uses and Gratification Expectancy’ (UGE) conceptual framework which is
able to predict students’ ‘Perceived e-Learning Experience. ’ It is argued that students’ UGE as regards e-learning resources
cannot be implicitly or explicitly explored without first examining underlying communication theories and learning perspectives.
As such, the theoretical framework is grounded in the confluence of theories from communication theories and learning perspectives.
The integration of Expectancy-value Theory, and the Uses and Gratification Theory serves to accommodate the suggestion that
elearning resources offer gratifications that are expected and valued by students. The key theoretical and practical assumptions
of the UGE approach are highlighted and consistently implemented in the conceptual edifice. 相似文献

This paper is a reflection on the current policy moment in educational research in Australia in the context of globalisation. Set against a consideration of the emergent structure of feeling, the paper draws on three case studies of research to draw out some lessons for educational researchers and the research community. The argument is put that the dangerous ‘we’ of AARE needs to support increased funding for education and for educational research and, for the latter, to support a range of funding sources, types of research, methodologies and dissemination approaches. Increasingly there are pressures upon such eclecticism because of governmental attempts to ‘instrumentalise’ relationships between educational research and practitioner needs as perceived by governments. While such research is necessary, there is also a need within a democratic polity for research framed by agendas set by researchers that critiques government-directed developments. The paper argues there is a complex relationship amongst researchers and educational policy and pedagogical practitioners and as such the concept of ‘impact’ as applied to educational research requires substantial theorising. Contemporary research policy has tended to inhibit the dissemination of academic research to educational practitioners, while educational policy has tended, inappropriately in the argument of the paper, to construct teachers as the mere recipients of policy and research done elsewhere. 相似文献

Michael Fullan in 1991 made the comment that little was known about how students viewed educational change, as no one had
thought to ask them. There is a small but growing literature seeking the views of students on a range of issues associated
with schooling. This paper reports the findings of a study of students’ perceptions of top–down educational change, involving
school amalgamations, closures and creation of middle schools. The policy process was purportedly to involve consultation
with students. The study interviewed students to explore the nature and extent of their participation in the policy enactment
and their views about the changes. Several meta level themes emerged from the students’ ‘voices,’ including issues associated
with disempowerment, and competing social justice and economic discourses. The findings foreground the often messy and contradictory
tensions evident in policy processes. The study found that despite the policy intent to include students, they continued to
be the ‘objects’ of policy initiatives, submerged in what Freire labelled a ‘culture of silence.’ It was the macro level policy
elite who exerted the most influence, using their power, privilege and status to propagate particular versions of schooling.
The paper concludes that students are deeply impacted by educational change and they want to participate in restructuring
agendas. Therefore policy makers at all levels need to make spaces for the active engagement of students in policy processes. 相似文献

In higher education dual systems, graduates are qualified to apply for jobs in same professional fields along two separated
educational routes. The research problem is whether the rival applicants for professional positions are treated equally in
the labour market despite their different qualifications. From the graduates point of view, to be equal means to have an opportunity
to be employed in accordance with one’s professional skill. Applying European survey data, the article tests to what extent
the ‘distribution of work’ between university and non-university graduates seems to be based on educational qualifications
or actual competence. Among 4,000 German, Dutch, Finnish, and Swiss graduates primarily in business and administration and
engineering, only slight and occasional evidence of ‘status-based recruitment’ was found. All in all, the research suggests
that from the view of graduate employment, the European dual HE systems work very much following the principle of ‘different
but equal’. 相似文献

Educational research has been criticised by governments and practitioners. For some politicians and policy makers, there is
a tendency to look for direct links between research and successful, effective and efficient practice. Research is needed
to inform their evidence-based practice as policy makers, and to provide the kind of research teachers need to base their
practice on the best available evidence for doing ‘x rather than y’ (Hargreaves 1996) or predicting the ‘size of the effect
of A on B’ (Blunkett 2000). There is no doubt that both teachers and policy makers do make decisions on a daily basis based
on some form of evidence. This paper explores Hargreaves’ notion of evidence-based practice, providing a range of criticisms.
It also examines Carr’s historical account of ‘praxis’ and ‘poiesis’ to suggest a notion of evidence-based praxis based partly
on the historical notion of ‘phronesis’ — practical wisdom. The basis for this is the argument that wise and practical ethical
and moral judgements are central to an understanding of teachers’ daily work. What to do in a specific educational situation
cannot be determined solely by theoretical beliefs or by ‘techne’. However the ethical dimension is not the only consideration.
The paper suggests that evidence-based praxis use Stenhouse’s notion of ‘actionable evidence’, which includes the ethical
dimension, but also Thomson’s concept of ‘thisness’, which describes the unique contextual characteristics of a school. If
disadvantaged schools can make some sort of difference to learning opportunities for students, it is argued that teachers
might engage in evidence-based praxis which involves them in reflecting on, and theorising what is happening in classrooms,
schools and neighbourhoods. This ‘praxis’ also involves them in modifying their theories, critically analysing ‘what works’,
questioning how they know and developing ideas about how things might be done differently. There will be an element of developing
knowledge about teaching and learning strategies (Hargreaves’ ‘body of knowledge’), but it will be in the context of the ethical
and moral dilemmas associated with education. It will take up the question of local differences as well as a realistic approach
to what constitutes actual school improvement. Evidence-based praxis is also essentially a collective activity not an individual
approach. Future development of the notion of evidence-based praxis might also include involving students in a more reciprocal
and open learning process like that highlighted by researchers who focus on student participation linked to school reform. 相似文献

The article examines Cate Tiernan’s ‘Wicca’ series. This series and the ‘Circle of Three’ books by Isobel Bird explore the
experiences of teenage girls who embrace the pagan religion, Wicca. The texts reflect the growing interest in spirituality
expressed by many young people and extend the literary representation of witchcraft. Tiernan produces stories of spiritual
growth entwined with fantasy and romance. The series operates within a moral and religious framework that allows girls to
feel positive about their bodies and their sexuality and acknowledges the complex moral decisions many young people face.

The ‘Balance of Nature’ metaphor is a pervasive idea in ecology. However, the scientific community acknowledged during the
last decades that equilibrium conditions are rare, while disturbance events are not uncommon. We suggest that the exclusive
teaching of the ‘Balance of Nature’ metaphor produces cultural, scientific and learning misconceptions about the structure
and function of nature. We outline an exemplary educational intervention for high school students to exhibit that the use
of computer simulations could serve important educational goals in ecology and environmental education, such as the liberation
of the concept of ‘balance’ of its metaphysic burden, the comprehension of the dynamics and the systemic nature of ecological
processes and the appreciation of the mutual relation between society and nature. 相似文献

Compared with the problems one encounters when trying to use ‘graduate employability’ as a measure of the quality of higher
education, recognising how the definitions of ‘employability’ are dependent on the type of the data used in analysing the
phenomenon in question is a totally different matter. This article demonstrates how the understanding of graduate employability
varies when the viewpoint of the analysis changes from cross-sectional to longitudinal. Indicators obtained from the educational
and working careers of graduates with master’s degree in nine European countries are used to illustrate differences between
the two views on employability. The article shows that longitudinal indicators are useful in displaying the limitations of
the higher education system when trying to improve the employability of graduates. 相似文献

Large numbers of children regularly experience educational disruption because of natural disasters. Donor and rehabilitation
agencies, using an ‘emergency education’ framework, have usually addressed the immediate needs of such children and longer-term
educational reconstruction. However, the imperative of continuous educational access to all children, and the need for resource
and curricular policies to deal with frequent disruption, call for the inclusion of an emergency education dimension in traditional
educational policy. This article outlines the features of such a dimension by drawing on the experiences of an earthquake
rehabilitation effort in India (2001-02). Policies that target an improved post-crisis educational system create an opportunity
to redress past disadvantages. Helping local educational institutions build capacities in curriculum development and continuing
education of emergency personnel is crucial. Some new features highlighted include tracking local demographic shifts with
the help of local leaders and the use of innovative teachers to handle children’s immediate recreational needs.

This paper reports findings from a phenomenographic investigation into blended university teaching using virtual learning
environments (VLEs). Interviews with 25 Computer Science teachers in Greek universities illuminated a spectrum of teachers’
conceptions and approaches from ‘teacher-focused and content-oriented’, through ‘student-focused and content-oriented’, to
‘student-focused and process-oriented’. Using VLEs was described as a means of supporting: A—information transfer; B—application
and clarification of concepts; C—exchange and development of ideas, and resource exploration and sharing; D—collaborative
knowledge-creation, and development of process awareness and skills. The study suggests that pedagogical beliefs and circumstances
underpinning face-to-face teaching are more influential in shaping approaches to blended VLE use than VLE system features.
The authors propose that the findings could be used to inform educational enhancement initiatives and that there is a need
for further discipline-focused research on blended teaching. 相似文献

Conclusion Her brief experience of paediatrics and her subsequent discovery of psychoanalysis gave Fran?oise Dolto access to a therapeutic
practice enabling her to apply ethical principles that were in conformity with her view of the human person. This path led
her to develop a prophylaxis, put to the test in various institutional projects, with a ‘socializing’ or ‘educational’ value.
Psychoanalysis thus not only enabled her to bring the light of ethics stemming from it to bear on the therapeutic process,
but also stimulated her in her educational and spiritual activity.
It was, no doubt, that feature of her thinking that prompted Dolto, in her relations with others, always to use speech for
the benefit of the person by calling or recalling each person to his or her archaic desire. This is perhaps the origin of
what prompted in her readers and listeners that jubilant enthusiasm so decried thereafter. There is a paradox here between
the rejection of any claim to set standards and any imitation, and the power to attract an extensive readership or audience
that ‘imitated’ and ‘set standards’, and, above all, was not steeped in the ethical convictions that she alone knew to be
essential to any application of her ‘advice’.
The very inner distinctiveness of her therapeutic, educational and spiritual action no doubt explains the absence, as Dolto
saw it, of pupils to whom she might have taught the essence of her practice, since her subjectivity—the sense of her genius,
her faith—is not something that can be taught.

This position paper proposes the enhancement of teacher and student learning in science classrooms by tapping the enormous
potential of information communication and technologies (ICTs) as cognitive tools for engaging students in scientific inquiry.
This paper serves to challenge teacher-held assumptions about students learning science ‘from technology’ with a framework
and examples of students learning science ‘with technology’. Whereas a high percentage of students are finding their way in
using ICTs outside of school, for the most part they currently are not doing so inside of school in ways that they find meaningful
and relevant to their lives. Instead, the pedagogical approaches that are most often experienced are out-of-step with how
students use ICTs outside of schools and are not supportive of learning framed by constructivism. Here we describe a theoretical
and pedagogical foundation for better connecting the two worlds of students’ lives: life in school and life outside of school.
This position paper is in response to the changing landscape of students’ lives. The position is transformative in nature
because it proposes the use of cyber-enabled resources for cultivating and leveraging students new literacy skills by learning
‘with technology’ to enhance science learning. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to examine current status, issues, and visions of higher education reform in Korea by focusing
on ‘Brain Korea 21’ (BK21). ‘Brain Korea 21’ (BK21), is a major higher education reform project initiated by the South Korean
government to prepare Korean human resources for the 21st century. ‘Brain Korea 21’ (BK21) aims at fostering world-class graduate schools and high quality scholars by providing funds
to higher education institutions. In this paper, societal, economic and educational changes which led to the initiation of
BK 21 and its implementation processes are described first. Then, some resistance and controversies against BK 21 are discussed.
Major achievements of BK 21 are highlighted and future directions of higher education reform in South Korea are addressed. 相似文献
