Centralising space: the physical education and physical activity experiences of South Asian,Muslim girls     

Annette Stride 《Sport, Education and Society》2016,21(5):677-697

This paper explores the physical education (PE) and physical activity experiences of a group of South Asian, Muslim girls, a group typically marginalised in PE and physical activity research. The study responds to ongoing calls for research to explore across different spaces in young people's lives. Specifically, I draw on a ‘middle-ground’ approach, using Hill Collins' matrix of domination and the notion of intersectionality. These concepts offer the possibility to explore the kinds of settings (physical, social and cultural) in which girls undertake PE and physical activity, how these spaces influence experience and how the girls navigate these spaces. The study is based in a large, urban, co-educational, secondary school in Yorkshire, England (95% of the students are from minority ethnic communities, 91% are Muslim and 63% live in the top 10% most deprived neighbourhoods in the country). Data generation involved three phases: observations, creating research artefacts in focus groups and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal the diverse ways the girls are physically active. They also demonstrate a complexity to their involvement which is contingent upon space, discourses and people. For example, discourses of competition, ability and peers are more significant within PE; whilst family, religion and culture feature beyond this context. The paper concludes by acknowledging the girls' heterogeneity and agency in the ways they strategically navigate spaces in their quest to be physically active on their terms.  相似文献

英语以长句为主。翻译时既要从英汉差异出发，处理好长句翻译在结构形式上的差异，又要做到不忽视原文文体的整体风貌特征。长句汉译时一般采用包孕、分切、拆离、重组和插入等方法和技巧。  相似文献   

英语中“性别歧视”的文化溯源     

胡敏 《苏州工职院》2007,(2)

语言总是反映着时代的社会传统文化。"性别歧视"特别是人们对女性的歧视在社会的各个方面都会留下很深的时代烙印。语言也是如此,从语言本身所包含的"性别歧视"去解读隐藏于其中的文化,又会促使我们更深入地把握语言的实质。  相似文献   

从士人、武士的对比看中日文化差异     

高小岩  吴中平 《衡水学院学报》2008,10(6)

中国古代的士人构成了王朝统治的中坚力量。武士则是日本中世纪社会的重要倚仗力量。中国的士人最初是带有更多尚武精神内涵的,社会精英阶层的价值取向往往影响民族精神,对比二者及其各自文明的道路可以借鉴后者对培育昂扬向上、勇于迎接挑战的民族精神方面的可取之处,也使得通过差异对比继承和发展中华民族文化,培育奋发有为的中华民族精神。  相似文献

王森彪  阮陆宁 《山东教育学院学报》2008,23(2):1-4

在建设创新型社会的历史进程中,大学肩负着培养高层次创新型人才的历史重任更加明显;另一方面,在连续多年高校扩招的背景下,显现的成就背后必然潜在着一系列的问题。因此,有必要就区域内高等教育发展的状况进行研究。本研究根据中央、地方统计年鉴2005年有关数据,对山东、江苏、广东三省高等教育发展状况做差异性分析,就经费投入、办学规模、学科建设、师资队伍、人才培养层次等方面差异性进行探讨,就有关问题提出合理化可行性的建议。期望有所裨益,以促进山东高等教育高质量良性发展。  相似文献   

权力话语的镜像表现——论中国"十七年"电影英雄叙事的性别话语     

胡牧 《河池学院学报》2008,28(6)

“十七年”电影中的性别话语作为一种文化话语是一种功能、运动和关系,其意义也在这些功能、运动和关系中产生、发展和变化,英雄叙事功能本身就构成一个复杂的话语系统。因此,“十七年”电影英雄叙事的性别话语研究就必须结合其他话语系统如意识形态、历史等,才能充分考虑背后的权力关系,即叙事运作的策略性关系。  相似文献   

Gender differences in instructional leadership: how male and female principals perform their instructional leadership role     

Haim Shaked  Jeffrey Glanz  Zehavit Gross 《School Leadership & Management》2018,38(4):417-434

The current qualitative study sought to examine how male and female principals enact their instructional leadership. Data were collected through 59 semi-structured interviews with 36 female principals and 23 male principals from Israel, and analysed in a four-stage process – condensing, coding, categorising, and theorising. Findings presented two main differences between male and female principals’ instructional leadership: (a) the source of authority nurturing their instructional leadership; and (b) the integration of instructional leadership with principal-teacher relationships. Gender theories were employed to explain these findings and further research possibilities in this realm are discussed.  相似文献   

Exposure to school violence at school and mental health of victimized adolescents: The mediation role of social support     

《Child abuse & neglect》2018

The purpose of the current study is to examine the mediation role of social support in the relationship between exposure to violence at school and mental health among adolescents within the framework of two structured models via structural equation model (SEM). The participants consist of a total of 1420 9th, 10th, and 11th grades high school students (54.5% girls and 45.5% boys). The students’ ages ranged from 14 to 18 years with a mean of 16.11 (SD = 0.91) for total sample. 38 percent of the participants are in the 9th grade, 34.1 percent are in the 10th grade, and 28 percent are in the 11th grade. Findings from both models indicated that social support mediated the relationships between exposure to violence and mental health among adolescents. Additionally, both models showed that the associations between exposure to violence, social support and mental health varied by gender. Contributions and implications of the current findings are discussed in detail.  相似文献   

‘Whatever she may study,she can’t escape from washing dishes’: gender inequity in secondary education – evidence from a longitudinal study in India     

Renu Singh  Protap Mukherjee 《Compare》2018,48(2):262-280

Using unique panel data from Young Lives study conducted in undivided Andhra Pradesh, India, this mixed-method paper analyses gender differentials in completion of secondary education. Results show biased secondary school completion rates in favor of boys. Probit regression results highlight certain variables such as mothers’ education, wealth, high self-efficacy, early reading skills, lower birth order, and not engaging in more than two hours of domestic work and paid work at age 12, as positively associated with educational outcomes for girls. Decomposition analysis highlights that engaging in domestic chores at age 12 is the most contributory factor (36%) for the persisting gender gap. The other unexplained contributory factors may well be existing discriminatory social norms and son preference, which is captured by the qualitative case studies. The findings suggest that unless we are able to address persisting gender norms, universalizing secondary education with gender equity, will remain a distant dream.  相似文献   

Unintended consequences on gender diversity of high-tech growth and labor market polarization     

Elsie L. Echeverri-Carroll  Michael D. Oden  David V. Gibson  Evan A. Johnston 《Research Policy》2018,47(1):209-217

There has been considerable media coverage highlighting the lack of gender diversity in Silicon Valley, stressing the relatively low participation of women in the high-tech economy. Austin offers a unique case for testing whether similar gender issues characterized other high-tech regions because the city has historically benefited from the expansion of Silicon Valley’s large high-tech firms since the 1980s. The gender-biased business practices identified in Silicon Valley firms may have been transferred to their branch plants in Austin. Our analysis shows women’s losses in middle-skill occupation employment shares were concentrated in the low-tech industry and were partially offset by job share gains in high-skill occupations in the same sector between 1980 and 2015. Men’s losses in middle-skill occupation job share were also mainly concentrated in the low-tech sector but were partially offset by employment share gains in high-skill occupations only in the high-tech industry during this period. Women made large gains in relative real median wages only in high-skill occupations in the high-tech industry while their relative real median wages in other skill occupations and in the low-tech industry stagnated around zero during this period. Men’s gains in relative median wages were also concentrated only in the high-tech industry but were less than half of women’s and were negative (between ?10 and ?21 percent) in other occupations in the high-tech industry and across all occupations in the low-tech industry. As noted in previous studies, the impact of job polarization is not well understood across sectors and gender. This study finds the high-tech industry in Austin has had unintended consequences in terms of job polarization across gender, providing relatively fewer job opportunities in high-skill occupations to women than men but offering much higher gains in relative real median wages to women than men. Males also found relatively more job opportunities in high-skill occupations in the high-tech industry than women but experienced only half of women’s gains in relative median wages in this industry between 1980 and 2015.  相似文献
