Deliberative communication goes to college: the ‘Deliberation Forum’ project as a democratic agent of empowerment for communication students     

Vered Malka 《Learning, Media and Technology》2016,41(4):546-565

A new field of research has developed over the last few decades, called ‘Deliberative Communication’. It focuses on the potential contribution of public deliberations to strengthening the foundations of democracy and the promotion of social–political goals and objectives. The current research focuses on a unique case study, the ‘Deliberation Forum’ project, conducted by the Department of Communication at the Yezreel Valley College, Israel. The researcher sought to learn about students' experience of participating in this online forum and the effects they attributed to it, through unstructured interviews she held with them. The students indicated that, for the most part, the experience of participating in the deliberation forum was very positive: it enhanced their self-image as thinking people; strengthened their sense of self-importance as students within the department; developed and reinforced habits of keeping abreast of current affairs as well as critical thinking; and finally, the experience developed and strengthened habits of active participation in pluralistic debates. The study findings indicate that participation in projects of this kind has a clear empowerment potential, while also improving participants' attitude toward public deliberation and decision-making processes.  相似文献   

‘You want us to teach outdoor education where?’ Reflections on teaching outdoor education online     

H. A. Smith  J. E. Dyment  A. Hill  J. Downing 《Journal of Adventure Education & Outdoor Learning》2016,16(4):303-317

This article reports on the experiences of two lecturers working at the University of Tasmania required to teach outdoor and sustainability education (O&SE) courses online. Using an (auto)ethonographic case-study approach, the lecturers were interviewed with a view to exploring their perceptions, challenges, ethical dilemmas, tensions, opportunities and experiences in this space. A number of themes emerged, including commitment to quality teaching and learning, the role of experience, and experiential learning, in the online space, the challenge of fostering a connection to place, difficulties faced when trying to develop a learning community, and the role of professional learning and support in terms of pedagogy and technology in the online space. These themes, and their implications for teaching and learning in higher education both generally, and specifically in O&SE, are discussed in light of what is a mounting body of literature exploring the move to online delivery in higher education.  相似文献

统一性和多样化并存的日本大学招生考试制度   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

李润华 《比较教育研究》2011,(2):45-49

日本现行的大学招生考试制度是由全国统一学力考试"大学入学考试中心考试"和各高校自行组织的单独考试两个阶段组成。这种考试制度作为紧密联系中等教育和高等教育的一个重要环节,解决了考生共性与个性、聚合思维与发散思维以及中学教学的基础性和高校选拔的专业性等矛盾,最大限度地克服了"一考定终身"的弊端。  相似文献
