A love towards a thing eternal: Spinoza and the classroom     

Steve Shann  Michele Bauer  Rachel Cunneen  Jaki Troy  Courtney Van Blerk 《Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education》2015,43(5):450-462

There is a growing concern about the struggles of early career teachers and an understandable questioning of the preparation being offered by teacher education courses. Are our preservice teachers being given workable strategies and techniques to allow them to survive the early years? Is it strategies and techniques that are primarily at issue here? Could it be that there is something more fundamental, to do with an underlying philosophical understanding about human nature, the desire to learn and the need to relate? I want to suggest that instruction about strategies and techniques is too often built on an insecure and incompatible foundation of assumptions about the nature of the world of sentient beings and their relationships. Ontology matters. Philosopher Spinoza divided the world of thought into ideas that were adequate – contributing to our well-being, potency and happiness – and those that were inadequate – leading us to feel weak, at the mercy of outside forces, and sad. I want to argue, with Spinoza, that inadequate ontologies lead to a sense of impotence and frustration, and that adequate ideas – a stronger ontology – can underpin and sustain a more durable pedagogy. I explore this idea by looking at some classroom events through a Spinozean lens.  相似文献   

Exploring the experiences and responses of LGBTQ+ adolescents to school-based sexuality education     

Shereen C. Naser  Katherine Clonan-Roy  Kimberly A. Fuller  Elizabeth A. Goncy  Nicole Wolf 《Psychology in the schools》2022,59(1):34-50

The purpose of this study is to describe the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, two spirit, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth with school-based sexuality education (SBSE), as well as to document strategies LGBTQ+ youth are using to address their evolving and specific sexual health needs outside of SBSE. Researchers conducted focus groups with 17 adolescents (ages 14–18) from urban and suburban Midwestern cities. Results of this study indicate LGBTQ+ youth find SBSE to be heteronormative, cisgender focused, and primarily focused on pregnancy and disease prevention, which contributes to LGBTQ+ youth experiences of exclusion. In response to SBSE that did not meet student needs, participants reported seeking sexual health information outside of SBSE. Other sources included family and other trusted adults, the Internet, and community resource centers. Students reported variable rates of use and trustworthiness across these resources. Results of this study suggest that school personnel should consider alternatives to traditional SBSE models to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ youth, and that an important part of SBSE should include guidelines for Internet safety.  相似文献

Drawing Parallels in Search of Educational Equity: A Multicultural Education Delegation to China Looks Outside to See Within     

Jioanna Carjuzaa  J. Kay Fenimore-Smith  Ethlyn Davis Fuller  William A. Howe  Eileen Kugler  Arcenia P. London 《Multicultural Perspectives》2013,15(1):35-40

In 2004, a professional delegation of multicultural educators visited the People's Republic of China to explore how diversity issues are addressed and how students are prepared for entry into the international workforce. The delegation, sponsored by the People to People Ambassador Programs, observed numerous parallels to the American system of education, including the challenge of providing equity for students of minority cultures, especially those in poor rural areas, and the conflict between modernization and preservation of cultural heritage.  相似文献

复杂系统、知识管理与组织学习过程动态模型研究   总被引：13，自引：0，他引：13  

戴万稳  赵曙明  蒋建武 《中国软科学》2006,24(6):120-128

知识经济时代的组织是一个具有无尺度网络结构的复杂系统。知识管理是知识经济时代的必然要求。组织学习作为组织获取核心竞争力和可持续发展能力的重要手段，是一个动态的过程。本文在系统回顾相关研究成果的基础上，从复杂系统的视角对知识经济时代复杂环境下的组织学习动态复杂过程进行了系统的模型整合和创新，并对构建学习型组织可能遇到的障碍进行了一系列对策分析。  相似文献
