Separated and integrated perspectives on environmental,economic, and social dimensions – an investigation of student views on sustainable development     

Teresa Berglund  Niklas Gericke 《Environmental Education Research》2016,22(8):1115-1138

The sustainable development (SD) concept is based on the idea that economic and social development should be linked to the environment. However, controversies about various associated issues often arise due to the differences in protagonists’ viewpoints, depending partly on whether they focus mainly on environmental, economic, or social dimensions and partly on ideological stances related (for instance) to the optimal ways of promoting economic growth and social justice. This study investigates views of 638 Swedish upper secondary students who responded to a questionnaire probing their views of SD from two perspectives. In the first, the dimensions were separately introduced, so the respondents only had to consider one dimension at a time. In the second, the dimensions were introduced in an integrated fashion, so the respondents had to consider effects related to all three dimensions. The results strongly indicate that the students’ views and priorities concerning the dimensions depend on both the perspective and the context. Implications for teaching and learning are discussed.  相似文献   

Teachers’ technology adoption and practices: lessons learned from the IWB phenomenon     

Matthew Kearney  Sandy Schuck  Peter Aubusson  Paul F. Burke 《Teacher Development》2018,22(4):481-496

The twenty-first century has seen unprecedented investment from governments around the world in educational technologies in schools. This paper investigates Australian teachers’ adoption and use of a popular technology that has been extensively supported by governments and school systems: the interactive whiteboard (IWB). The study suggests that a number of the barriers identified in the early days of adoption and use of this technology, such as professional support and access, still remain for many teachers, thereby impeding effective practices. The research also found that primary school teachers were using the technology in diverse ways, in contrast to secondary teachers who were using the IWB mainly for instructionist, presentational purposes. We conclude by considering various ways of reducing the effect of the identified barriers to support implementation of educational technologies in the classroom, especially the next generation of technologies promoted by governments and systems.  相似文献   

Maintaining teachers’ face in the context of change: results from a study of Vietnamese college lecturers’ perceptions of face     

Thi Quynh Trang Nguyen 《Teachers and Teaching》2017,23(1):78-90

Gaining and saving face are very important in Vietnam as a mechanism of social control, including the professional behaviour of teachers. Interviews with 15 lecturers (aged 24–37) at a teacher training college in a Central Coast province of Vietnam illustrated the relationship between their concepts of face and their beliefs about good teaching. Most were still strongly influenced by traditional Confucian beliefs about the role and position of teachers, the nature of teachers’ knowledge and the relationship between teachers and students. On the other hand, some teachers also were aware of, and to a limited extent open to, more modern ideas that seemed to be related to broad social changes and reforms in approaches to teaching and learning in recent decades in Vietnam. The findings suggest that some teacher educators are uncertain about the value of traditional professional wisdom in the context of critical changes in society and in education. The research also suggests that the concepts of face and saving face are important for teachers’ sense of agency, and that Vietnamese educational authorities could increase the effectiveness of innovations in teacher education by paying attention to the influence of concepts of face on the teachers’ beliefs and behaviours.  相似文献   

Challenging from the margins into the mainstream—improving renal services in a collaborative and entrepreneurial spirit     

Margaret Attwood 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2007,4(2):191-198

Can the development, both clinical and managerial, of practitioners involved in healthcare be enriched by connecting action learning principles and practice with research on ‘tempered radicals’? Might such connection also assist the efforts of patients and their advocates to create more holistic approaches to patient care? This paper explores these questions with reference to a UK Department of Health project to improve renal services. The prime focus is the experience of a set of set advisers who ‘held the ring’ on the project, supporting the work of the sets and attempting to make sense of the emerging learning.  相似文献

西安古都史当在5000年以上——西安作为黄帝“铸铜（鼎）地”和“都邑”新探     

胡义成 《乌鲁木齐职业大学学报》2011,20(2):46-60

《史记》中的＂黄帝史观＂,在血缘、文化、＂治统＂和＂关中文明一元论＂四层含义上,把黄帝视为中华民族的唯一共同祖先,对维护中国统一和民族凝聚力曾具积极意义,但在科学上也有偏误。它关于＂黄帝铸铜鼎于荆山＂的记载,虽被镶嵌在黄帝史观背景上未可全信,但荆山作为黄帝＂铸铜地＂,却被考古所证实。《史记》在汉武帝＂为鼎而狂＂时,根据民间传说写下的这一笔,也是记录黄帝在西安荆山铸铜事件的信史。从《史记》其它记载看,作为黄帝＂铸铜地＂的西安,其实就是黄帝＂都邑＂,西安的古都城史应被提前至黄帝时期,当在5000年以上。  相似文献

收养身份占有时效制度探析     

陈峰冰 《闽江学院学报》2011,32(6):47-50

目前,我国收养制度对内效力不明确,现有立法在平衡收养人与生父母权益方面存在重大缺陷,这一制度缺陷无法面对我国每年大量儿童遗失的同时又有大量儿童被收养的现实困境。构建收养身份占有时效制度具有可行性和现实必要性。  相似文献
