Governing through guidance: an analysis of educational guidance practices in an Italian lower secondary school     

Marco Romito 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2019,40(6):773-788

ABSTRACT

Current social policy discourse defines educational and career guidance as a key tool to enhance individual self-realisation while pursuing collective social objectives (economic growth, reduction of drop-out rate, social inclusion). Relying on Foucault’s concept of governmentality, critical research has long destabilised this mainstream narrative by stressing that guidance polices constitute a technology of government through which the political ambition to govern is realised by shaping citizens’ desires and ambitions. This article aims to provide an in-depth empirical analysis of how governing practices unfold within a concrete guidance setting. Based on ethnographic data, the essay focuses on guidance practices addressing 13–14-year-old students in Italy moving from comprehensive education to a tracked educational level. Particular emphasis is given to the role played by guidance forms, questionnaires and exercises. These materials, it is argued, enable particular technologies of the self that are key to involving individual in practices of self-government.  相似文献   

Gifted Adolescents' Perceptions of Their Roles in Nation-Building     

Agnes Chang Shook-Cheong 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》1994,14(2):60-75

Young people in Singapore have been urged to take an active interest in politics and nation-building. A survey was carried out on a sample of gifted adolescents to find out their perceptions of the expectations from self, parents, classmates, school and society in nation-building. The results show that the gifted adolescents wanted and were quite sure that their parents, school and socity expect them to excel in academic studies and eventually to have a comfortable professional practice. They showed reluctance in taking on a political career but showed interest in social issues, national and international affairs.  相似文献   

The effects of teacher expectation interventions on teachers’ expectations and student achievement: narrative review and meta-analysis     

Hester de Boer  Anneke C. Timmermans  Margaretha P. C. van der Werf 《Educational Research and Evaluation》2018,24(3-5):180-200

ABSTRACT

This study provides a systematic review of the effects of 19 teacher expectation interventions. Prior research on teacher expectations primarily focussed on correlational relationships with student and teacher characteristics, leaving open the questions of whether it is possible to raise teacher expectations and to prevent (too) low expectations from having detrimental effects on student achievement. These questions were the scope of the current review. We distinguished 3 types of interventions: changing teacher behaviour, creating awareness of expectancy effects, and addressing the beliefs underlying the expectations. The results indicated that it was possible to raise teacher expectations and subsequent student achievement. We found summary effects of Hedges’ g?=?0.38 and 0.30, respectively. The narrative review suggested that the intervention type did not affect the effectiveness, but teacher support for the intervention did. However, verification of this suggestion with moderator analysis was not possible due to the limited number of interventions.  相似文献   

An evaluation of outcomes following the replacement of traditional histology laboratories with self‐study modules          下载免费PDF全文

Andrew R. Thompson  Donald J. Lowrie Jr 《Anatomical sciences education》2017,10(3):276-285

Changes in medical school curricula often require educators to develop teaching strategies that decrease contact hours while maintaining effective pedagogical methods. When faced with this challenge, faculty at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine converted the majority of in‐person histology laboratory sessions to self‐study modules that utilize multiple audiovisual modalities and a virtual microscope platform. Outcomes related to this shift were investigated through performance on in‐house examinations, results of the United States Medical Licensing Examination^® (USMLE^®) Step 1 Examination, and student feedback. Medical School College Admissions Test^® (MCAT^®) scores were used as a covariate when comparing in‐house examinations. Results revealed no significant change in performance on in‐house examinations when the content being assessed was controlled (F(2, 506) = 0.676, P = 0.51). A significant improvement in overall practical examination grade averages was associated with the self‐study modules (F(6, 1164) = 10.213, P < 0.01), but gradual changes in examination content may explain this finding. The histology and cell biology portion of USMLE Step 1 Examination remained consistent throughout the time period that was investigated. Student feedback regarding the self‐study modules was positive and suggested that features such as instructor narrated videos were an important component of the self‐study modules because they helped recreate the experience of in‐person laboratory sessions. Positive outcomes from the student perspective and no drop in examination performance suggests that utilizing self‐study modules for histology laboratory content may be an option for educators faced with the challenge of reducing contact hours without eliminating content.

为了解西部各民族对西部大开发中一些焦点问题解决期望的状况，采用自编的问卷，对西部大开发涉及的12个省区的汉族和少数民族共3526名民众进行调查。结果显示，各民族民众对西部大开发所有焦点问题的期望值都很高，都希望在短时间内解决一些，不要使之继续恶化下去。其中各族民众在经济建设与精神文明建设、百姓收入提高、资源开发与环境保护以及治理腐败方面的期望存在显著差异。  相似文献   

Sex differences in self‐estimation of multiple intelligences among Portuguese adolescents     

Félix Neto  Fátima Ruiz  Adrian Furnham 《High Ability Studies》2008,19(2):189-204

This study investigated the relationship among sex, attitude toward intelligence, and self‐estimation of multiple intelligences for self and parents among Portuguese adolescents in secondary schools. Two hundred and forty‐two adolescents estimated their own and their parents' IQ scores on each of Gardner's 10 multiple intelligences: verbal (linguistic), logical (mathematical), spatial, musical, body‐kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, existential, spiritual, and naturalistic. They also answered six simple questions concerning intelligence and intelligence tests. There were various sex differences in self‐estimated IQ: males rated themselves higher on overall, mathematical, spatial, intrapersonal, spiritual, and naturalistic IQ compared with females. Multiple regressions indicated that verbal, logical, and intrapersonal intelligence were significant predictors for self and parents overall IQ estimations. Factor analysis of the 10, the 8, and the 7 self‐estimates scores did not confirm Gardner's classification of multiple intelligences. Males were more likely to believe in sex differences in intelligence than females. Results are discussed in terms of the growing literature in the self‐estimates of intelligence, as well as limitations of that approach.  相似文献

内隐自我指自我中那些不能被意识知觉和控制的方面和成分。自我平衡、自我驱动、社会文化影响等理论对内隐自我的心理机制进行了分析。内隐自我对于心理健康有着重要意义：一方面,内隐自我对个体的心理健康具有重要影响：健康心理存在着不同于外显水平的内隐机制;情绪障碍在内隐水平影响着心理健康;内隐自我通过态度影响着个体的不良行为;另一方面,内隐自我对心理健康服务具有深刻意义：心理健康工作者的内隐自我会影响其工作,健康服务工作者的内隐自我对其工作态度甚至医疗行为都具有影响。  相似文献   

解构"自由美学",建立"自我美学"     

张正方 《长治学院学报》2004,21(6):5-9

"人本质"不是"自由",故而"自由美学"不足为训,应予解构。"人本质"是"自我",从"自我"出发解释"美本质", 建立"自我美学",也许正构成21世纪中国美学发展的正确方向、必然选择和真正希望所在。  相似文献
