寻索后后现代城市的灵性与正义     

梁燕城 《上海师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2011,40(1)

西方全球化发展,形成"受伤城市",后现代极端自由主义文化,形成自我中心主义(Egoism),引致城市精神文化与道德崩落.当代西方城市文化的困境,是马克思早年所谓的"异化"(alienation),城市建筑中,人都用铁窗、铁闸把自己锁在屋内,结果形成"枷锁城市"(carceral city).一个正义的城市,必须有义人传统,要解决当代城市这些问题,须了解城市是一个"他者共在的世界",由此寻索一个城市和谐文化的方向.蒲伯(Martin Buber)提出的"我一你"思想模式,关键就是要把"他者"视为一个完整的存在,人与人须建立一种真诚的关系.这人与他者间建立和谐关系的思想,在中国文化来说,就是"仁义"的理念.仁是人性中一种对"他者"的"感通",义则是正直合宜的行为.设计一个后后现代的城市,必须考虑一个文化的空间,建造一个有仁义感通的精神文化.  相似文献   

Explicating factual and subjective science knowledge: knowledge as a mediator of news attention and attitudes     

Shirley S. Ho  Jiemin Looi  Alisius D. Leong  Yan Wah Leung 《亚洲交流杂志》2019,29(1):73-91

Communication scholars have conflicting views on the relationship between exposure to science news and knowledge, and its subsequent influence on attitudes. Such mixed sentiments could arise from the vague definition of knowledge. Therefore, this paper explicates science knowledge into factual knowledge and subjective knowledge. It also compares the mediating roles of both types of knowledge between news attention and public support for science and technology (S&T). A survey of 967 Singaporeans showed that news attention was positively related to both factual and subjective knowledge. The findings revealed a stronger relationship between subjective knowledge and news attention than factual knowledge and news attention. Additionally, factual knowledge was positively related to public support for S&T, but subjective knowledge was negatively related to public support for S&T. The contrasting directions of these associations demonstrate that factual and subjective knowledge are two distinct dimensions of knowledge. Practically, the findings can inform policymakers and communication practitioners about effective public education and engagement initiatives. This study also provided guidelines for newsmakers in news reporting about S&T.  相似文献   

Effect of terrain and building structures on the airflow in an airport     

Dennis Y. C. Leung  W. Y. Lo  W. Y. Chow  P. W. Chan 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2012,13(6):461-468

The aim of this study was to perform computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations on the airflows at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). In particular, the effects of hangar buildings and terrain were studied to explore the effects of turbulence on flying aircraft, especially during landing. The CFD simulation showed that significant differences in wind speeds may occur between the north and the south runways on the western part of the HKIA under typhoon conditions with a strong north to northwesterly wind. Simulation also showed that the hanger buildings between the two runways on the western side and the nearby terrain could be causing the observed difference in the wind speeds. The results also indicated that these obstacles could cause significant wind speed variations at the western end of the south runway. This may affect the operation of landing aircraft. The CFD results for a typical typhoon case were analyzed and found to match the wind data recorded by an aircraft landing that day.  相似文献   

Youth in a global world: attitudes towards globalization and global citizenship among university students in Hong Kong     

Wing Hong Chui  Elliot W.Y. Leung 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》2014,34(1):107-124

Despite the wealth of theoretical literature on globalization and global citizenship, empirical studies on the topic are lacking, especially in the context of pedagogical needs in relation to global citizenship education. In order to address this gap, a study was conducted in Hong Kong to investigate the attitudes of university students towards various dimensions of globalization and global citizenship. The initial results indicate that Hong Kong university students are generally quite aware of globalization's impact on the economy and personal consumption choices and that while there is considerable apathy towards international affairs, there is also a great interest in cross-cultural service learning opportunities that is not being met by the available programmes. Moreover, this study finds almost no association between age, gender, and religion and any of the measured dependent variables on attitudes towards globalization and global citizenship, the only exception being the factor of past intercultural experiences, where a significant difference in measured attitudes was found between respondents who had and respondents who had not participated in such experiences before. Explanations of the findings and the implications of findings for policy and future research are discussed.  相似文献

Chinese Malaysian Adolescents' Social‐Cognitive Reasoning Regarding Filial Piety Dilemmas          下载免费PDF全文

Charissa S. L. Cheah  Christy Y. Y. Leung  Sevgi Bayram Özdemir 《Child development》2018,89(2):383-396

This study examined the social‐cognitive reasoning of 52 Chinese Malaysian preadolescents (9–12 years old; M = 11.02, SD = 0.94) and 68 adolescents (13–18 years old; M = 14.76, SD = 1.39) in resolving filial dilemmas within the personal and moral domain. Preadolescents deferred to parental authority, whereas adolescents endorsed filial obligation reasoning to justify compliance in the personal domain. Both appealed to filial obligation, pragmatic, or welfare and safety reasoning to justify compliance but fairness or rights reasoning to justify their noncompliance, for the moral issue. Distinctions between authoritarian and reciprocal filial piety reasoning were revealed. Findings demonstrated complex decision‐making and cognitive reasoning processes among Chinese Malaysian adolescents as they negotiate their filial obligations and autonomy development.  相似文献   

Back to Square One: The “Re‐depoliticizing’ of Civic Education in Hong Kong     

Leung Yan‐wing  Ng Shun‐wing 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》2004,24(1):43-60

This article argues that the development of civic education in Hong Kong can be divided into three phases chronologically: (1) before 1984: “depoliticization” by the state and the school; (2) 1984‐1997: “politicization” of the intended curriculum; and (3) 1997 onwards: “re‐depoliticization” of civic education and official confirmation of nationalistic education. In general, for phases one and two, the development is described as moving from de‐politicization to politicization, in response to the political development of Hong Kong from a British colony towards the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) of People's Republic of China. The article continues by exploring the third phase in detail with reference to the official document: Learning to Learn: Life‐long Learning and Whole‐person Development and the official speeches of the Chief Executive, Tung Chee Hwa. A phenomenon of re‐depoliticization of civic education is identified, together with a strong upheaval of nationalistic education. This leads civic education “back to square one"—"re‐depoliticized”. The article concludes by highlighting that the development of civic education in Hong Kong is a typical example of how civic education reflects the political context of the society.  相似文献   

Answering the New SAT Reading Comprehension Questions Without the Passages     

Donald E. Powers  Susan Wilson Leung 《Journal of Educational Measurement》1995,32(2):105-129

It has been reasonably well established that test takers can, to varying degrees, answer some reading comprehension questions without reading the passages on which the questions are based, even for carefully constructed measures like the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The aim of this study was to determine what test-taking strategies examinees use, and which are related to test performance, when reading passages are not available. The research focused on reading comprehension questions similar to those that will be used in the revised SAT, to be introduced in 1994. The most often cited strategies involved choosing answers on the basis of consistency with other questions and reconstructing the main theme of a missing passage from all of the questions and answers in a set. These strategies were more likely to result in successful performance on individual test items than were any of many other possible (and less constructrelevant) strategies.  相似文献   

Syllable,Phoneme, and Tone: Psycholinguistic Units in Early Chinese and English Word Recognition     

Catherine McBride-Chang  Xiuli Tong  Hua Shu  Anita M.-Y. Wong  Ka-wai Leung  Twila Tardif 《Scientific Studies of Reading》2013,17(2):171-194

Tasks of word reading in Chinese and English; nonverbal IQ; speeded naming; and units of syllable onset (a phoneme measure), syllable, and tone detection awareness were administered to 211 Hong Kong Chinese children ages 4 and 5. In separate regression equations, syllable awareness was equally associated with Chinese and English word recognition. In contrast, syllable onset awareness was uniquely associated with English reading only, whereas tone detection was uniquely associated with Chinese reading only. Results underscore both the universality of first-language phonological transfer to second-language reading and the importance of different psycholinguistic units (Ziegler & Goswami, 2005 Ziegler, J. C. and Goswami, U. 2005. Reading acquisition, developmental dyslexia, and skilled reading across languages: A psycholinguistic grain size theory.. Psychological Bulletin, 131(1): 3–29. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) for understanding reading acquisition: Tone units are integral to Chinese character recognition, whereas phonemes are more strongly associated with English word recognition, even within the same children.  相似文献   

Students’ geometrical perception on a task-based dynamic geometry platform     

Allen Leung  Arthur Man Sang Lee 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2013,82(3):361-377

This paper describes a task-based dynamic geometry platform that is able to record student responses in a collective fashion to pre-designed dragging tasks. The platform provides a new type of data and opens up a quantitative dimension to interpret students’ geometrical perception in dynamic geometry environments. The platform is capable of generating a collective image map of student geometrical perceptions for a pre-designed dragging task. This map is interpreted as students’ qualitatively different ways of perceiving a geometrical phenomenon under the drag mode, ways which are quantified and categorized in a collective way. The idea of task perceptual landscape is proposed to facilitate discussion on the pedagogical significance of this platform. Specifically, a task case is presented and analysed in which a methodology is developed that provides a way to classify students’ geometrical perceptions with respect to the task. The task perceptual landscape is interpreted as a collective example space of student perception of a task. Furthermore, an idea of personal example space is developed through the findings from a qualitative study for the same task. This brings about discussion on possible pedagogical correlation between the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the platform.  相似文献
