Visions of educational development in the post-socialist era     

Jiří Kotásek 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1993,39(6):473-487

The paper attempts to characterize and explain the social, political and economic climate underlying educational dilemmas and visions in Czechoslovakia and other Central European countries after the collapse of communist regimes. The new democracies are becoming huge laboratories of social and educational reform — issues of great importance to comparative education. The most urgent dilemma is whether to restore the pre-war educational system, or to follow the mainstream of educational development. Educational policy is also seeking to find a specific solution to a second dilemma: statism versus liberalism in organization, funding, structure and curriculum. The hindering factor is underestimation of the significance of educational policy in the global reform process. Finally, the author quotes Havel's vision of a new politics of education based on consciousness and self-recognition of mankind.

Zusammenfassung Dieser Artikel versucht, das soziale, politische und wirtschaftliche Klima zu charakterisieren und zu erklären, das den Schwierigkeiten und Vorstellungen im Bildungswesen der Tschechoslowakei und anderer zentraleuropäischer Länder nach dem Zusammenbruch der kommunistischen Regierungsformen zu Grunde liegt. Die neuen Demokratien entwickeln sich zu riesigen Laboratorien sozialer und erzieherischer Reform — Themen von großer Bedeutung für die vergleichende Erziehung. Das dringendste Problem ist die Frage, ob man das vor dem Krieg bestehende Bildungssystem wieder einführen oder der Hauptrichtung der bildungspolitischen Entwicklung folgen soll. Die Bildungspolitik sucht außerdem nach einer spezifischen Lösung für ein zweites Problem: Planwirtschaft kontra Liberalismus in Organisation, Finanzierung, Struktur und Curriculum. Störfaktor ist die Unterschätzung der Bedeutung einer Bildungspolitik im globalen Reformprozeß. Abschließend zitiert der Autor Havels Vision einer neuen Bildungspolitik, die auf Bewußtsein und Selbsterkennung der Menschheit basiert.

Résumé Cet article tente de caractériser et d'expliquer le climat social, politique et économique sous-jacent aux problèmes et aux visons de l'éducation en Tchécoslovaquie et dans d'autres pays d'Europe centrale après la chute des régimes communistes. Les nouvelles démocraties se transforment en d'énormes laboratoires de réforme sociale et éducative, questions qui sont toutes d'une grande importance pour l'éducation comparée. Le problème le plus urgent est de savoir si l'on doit restaurer le système éducatif d'avant la guerre ou si l'on doit suivre le courant majeur du développement de l'éducation. La politique éducative cherche aussi à apporter une solution spécifique à un deuxième problème, à savoir étatisme ou libéralisme dans l'organisation, le financement, la structure et les programmes d'étude. Le facteur qui fait obstacle est la sous-estimation de l'importance de la politique éducative dans le processus de réforme globale. Enfin, l'auteur cite la vision de Havel d'une nouvelle politique d'éducation fondée sur la conscience et la reconnaissance naturelle de l'humanité.

Locus and nature of perceptual phonological deficit in Spanish children with reading disabilities     

Ortiz R  Jiménez JE  García Miranda E  Guzmán Rosquete R  Hernández-Valle I  Rodrigo M  Estévez A  Díaz A  Hernández Expósito S 《Journal of learning disabilities》2007,40(1):80-92

The aims of this study were (a) to determine whether Spanish children with reading disabilities (RD) show a speech perception deficit and (b) to explore the locus and nature of this perceptive deficit. A group of 29 children with RD, 41 chronological age-matched controls, and 27 reading ability-matched younger controls were tested on tasks of speech perception. The effect of linguistic unit (word vs. syllable) and type of phonetic contrast (voicing, place and manner of articulation) were analyzed in terms of the number of errors and the response time. The results revealed a speech perception deficit in Spanish children with RD that was independent of the type of phonetic contrast and of linguistic unit.  相似文献   

Individual, family, and neighborhood factors distinguish resilient from non-resilient maltreated children: a cumulative stressors model   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Jaffee SR  Caspi A  Moffitt TE  Polo-Tomás M  Taylor A 《Child abuse & neglect》2007,31(3):231-253

OBJECTIVE: Children who are physically maltreated are at risk of a range of adverse outcomes in childhood and adulthood, but some children who are maltreated manage to function well despite their history of adversity. Which individual, family, and neighborhood characteristics distinguish resilient from non-resilient maltreated children? Do children's individual strengths promote resilience even when children are exposed to multiple family and neighborhood stressors (cumulative stressors model)? METHODS: Data were from the Environmental Risk Longitudinal Study which describes a nationally representative sample of 1,116 twin pairs and their families. Families were home-visited when the twins were 5 and 7 years old, and teachers provided information about children's behavior at school. Interviewers rated the likelihood that children had been maltreated based on mothers' reports of harm to the child and child welfare involvement with the family. RESULTS: Resilient children were those who engaged in normative levels of antisocial behavior despite having been maltreated. Boys (but not girls) who had above-average intelligence and whose parents had relatively few symptoms of antisocial personality were more likely to be resilient versus non-resilient to maltreatment. Children whose parents had substance use problems and who lived in relatively high crime neighborhoods that were low on social cohesion and informal social control were less likely to be resilient versus non-resilient to maltreatment. Consistent with a cumulative stressors model of children's adaptation, individual strengths distinguished resilient from non-resilient children under conditions of low, but not high, family and neighborhood stress. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that for children residing in multi-problem families, personal resources may not be sufficient to promote their adaptive functioning.  相似文献   

Evaluation and publication delay in Ibero-American scientific journals     

Jon Zabala  Borja González-Albo  Ana García-García  Aurora Garrido-Domínguez  José Ignacio Vidal-Liy  Luis R. Álvarez-Díez  Soledad Hernando-Tundidor  Yara Mostazo-Fernández  Teresa Abejón 《Learned Publishing》2023,36(2):205-216

This article analyses the review, acceptance and publication dates of a sample of 21,890 articles from 326 Ibero-American scientific journals from all subject areas and countries included in the Latindex Catalogue 2.0 and published between 2018 and 2020 (freely available as an open access dataset). The aim is to discover evaluation and publication times. The evaluation process takes a median of 110 days, the publication process, a median of 82 days, and the whole process, a median of 224 days. Statistical differences are found according to periodicity, subject areas, countries, existence of a printed version and article type (Call for Papers or General articles). From the data we find that the delay in publication is longer than publishers themselves report to the DOAJ. STEM areas present the most similarity in publication patterns, having a higher number of evaluation days (Ed) than publication days (Pd); Arts and Humanities present the opposite pattern, with a higher Pd than Ed. In the case of Social Sciences, the times are similar. General articles and Call for Papers articles differ in terms of Ed, but not Pd, indicating that Call for Papers revisions are faster.  相似文献   

Editorial H-score as a metric of inner authenticity for national scientific journals—Pilot study for the field of pedagogy     

Petr Novotný  Karolína Kotvaltová Sezemská  Romana Schubertová  Vanda Janštová 《Learned Publishing》2023,36(2):194-204

There is evidence that national scientific journals are important for local communities despite their limited audience due to national languages and topics, like in pedagogy. However, it is not easy to assess the level of scientific rigour of local journals, as most do not have available scientometric data and are often published in minority languages. We hypothesize that a possible manifestation of a latent trait of inner authenticity of the scientific journal (meaning the journal is accepted by a community interested in developing the field which conducts internationally accepted research) could be H-index of the editorial board members. To test this approach, we evaluated H-index and gender of editorial board members (n = 490) from 17 Czech and Slovak national science-oriented scientific pedagogical journals which were not indexed or indexed in Erih+ or Scopus, and compared this with the five lowest-rated journals from the same field indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database. The H-index of editorial board members was somewhat higher in indexed journals with those from WoS showing higher scores, and the number of board members with no discernable H-index was far greater in non-indexed journals. Editorial boards of journals indexed in WoS were mostly male, compared to a dominance of women on boards of non-indexed journals. Acknowledging the limited sample, it appears that the H-index of editorial board members may be a way to value national scientific journals.  相似文献
