Parental choice of childcare in England: Choosing in phases and the split market     

Huan Chen  Alice Bradbury 《British Educational Research Journal》2020,46(2):281-300

This article explores how parents choose childcare settings for their pre-school children within a context of complex policy on eligibility for free provision and a developing market. Using data from interviews with 17 mainly middle-class parents in England, we explore in detail how parents go about choosing a childcare setting and the different phases of this process. This adds further nuance to the existing literature on choosing practices and the dysfunction and inequalities of a neoliberal childcare market, and also updates the discussion to include recent policy developments such as the provision of ‘30 hours free childcare’ for 3 and 4-year-olds. We conclude that parental choosing involves a series of decisions in two or three phases, which start from practical considerations, followed by quality comparison and then back to practical constraints if a decision has not been made. The options open to parents are split between not only those able to accommodate shorter ‘free’ provision and those that require longer periods of childcare to work, but also between those with children under three and above. Contrary to previous findings in this area, this split may work to the disadvantage of some middle-class families, whose children attend lower-quality settings as a result.  相似文献   

Problems and Perspectives of a Theory of Transformational Processes of Bildung     

Hans-Christoph Koller 《Educational theory》2020,70(5):633-651

In this essay, Hans-Christoph Koller presents a concept of transformational processes of Bildung in an attempt to redefine the German notion of Bildung referring to actual social conditions of educational processes. According to this conception, Bildung is a transformation of world- and self-relations that can come about when subjects are confronted with problems for which they have no established routines of engagement. With reference to theories of Pierre Bourdieu, Bernhard Waldenfels, and Ulrich Oevermann, Koller looks for answers to three questions: (1) Which concepts and theories are able to adequately grasp the world- and self-relations of subjects going through processes of Bildung? (2) How can the problems that trigger processes of Bildung and that challenge subjects to transform be determined more precisely? (3) How exactly does the emergence of new figures of world- and self-relations take place when we “successfully” complete a process of Bildung? Finally, the essay concludes with an attempt to clarify the normative implications of this theory.  相似文献

Examining the predictive validity of behavior screeners across measures and respondents     

Corey Jones  Emily Graybill  Brian Barger  Andrew T. Roach 《Psychology in the schools》2020,57(6):923-936

Through this study we compared different informants and different behavior screening tools that are available to screen for behavioral and emotional risk. We examined screening results from 100 students from a high school with a high achiever's magnet program in the Southeastern United States (school demographics: 71% female and 79% black, non-Hispanic). This school conducted behavior screening using both teacher-report via the Student Risk Screening Scale, Internalizing/Externalizing (SRSS-IE) and student report via the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Nonparametric correlation tests were conducted between the SRSS-IE and SDQ externalizing and internalizing scores. Generalized linear regression models were created based on the data (demographics, internalizing, and externalizing scores on both screening tools) to model the two count outcomes (office discipline referrals [ODRs] and absences). Diagnostic accuracy metrics were generated from the scores on both the SRSS-IE and SDQ with the outcome measures (ODRs and absences). Externalizing scores on both screening tools had statistically significant low correlations. The ODR model contained two predictors: externalizing score on the SRSS-IE and internalizing score on the SDQ, while the absence model contained grade and the externalizing score on the SDQ. The highest accuracy and agreement values were seen between students with elevated risks on both screening measures and ODRs. The results confirmed that teacher and student reporting, as well as different screening tools, will result in some different students being identified. The choice of informant and screening tools should be dependent on the needs and resources of the school.  相似文献   

我国冰雪文化消费空间的构建及其发展路径     

司亮  萧林静  陈淼  程文广 《沈阳体育学院学报》2020,(1):94-100,109

国务院印发《完善促进消费体制机制实施方案(2018-2020年)》文件中指出"积极培育‘冰雪运动’体育消费新业态"。在此背景下,立足于消费空间视角,以冰雪文化成为空间消费品为切入点,针对我国冰雪文化消费不足的问题,提出了冰雪文化消费空间的概念。研究发现,冰雪文化消费空间不仅具有经济、社会、文化的内涵特征,而且其体验化、商业化、休闲化、娱乐化的典型特征与文化艺术化、信息网络化、全球国际化的非消费要素相互共存,在空间消费活动中逐渐构建成宏观、中观、微观层面的空间体系。最终,在空间生产语境中,基于"生产-消费"的逻辑,提出了将冰雪文化消费空间正式纳入"生产-分配-交换-消费"的过程追求再生产的发展路径。  相似文献   

竞技攀岩溯源与演变研究     

李元  朱倍锋 《武汉体育学院学报》2020,54(11):87-93

竞技攀岩作为新晋奥运项目，探究其起源和演变过程可为我国竞技攀岩的发展提供借鉴、指导及理论缘由。采用文献资料研究和逻辑分析方法，探讨了竞技攀岩的概念，分析了竞技攀岩诞生的装备和技术基础、社会文化背景，以及三个发展阶段的主要特征。研究表明，竞技攀岩是攀岩运动中符合现代竞技体育特征的部分，是攀岩运动"竞技体育化"的结果；器械装备升级提供的技术基础和战后复兴的历史背景，共同促成了竞技攀岩在苏联的诞生；竞技攀岩的演变经历了苏联时期的普及化与国际化尝试、UIAA主导的竞技攀岩国际管理体系与赛事体系建设、IFSC引领的奥运发展新时期三个阶段；竞技攀岩的后奥运时代将迎来前所未有的发展契机。  相似文献   

定向行走课程与教学专业能力研究     

杞昭安 《现代特殊教育》2020,(2):26-37

从感觉训练、概念发展、行动技能、定向系统、求助技能、安全议题、小区资源与大众运输系统七个方面选取50项能力指标,对海峡两岸64名担任定向行走课程的教师进行问卷调查。调查结果显示:大多数被调查者认可这50项能力指标;定向行走教师对自己的课程与教学专业能力认可度多为中等,需要进一步作培训。同时发现,在定向行走课程与专业能力各向度的重要程度上,海峡两岸定向行走教师的认知有显著差异,各向度胜任程度的差异更加明显;而定向行走教师的年龄对定向行走课程与教学专业能力在重要程度和胜任程度上并没有显著差异;海峡两岸担任定向行走课程的教师,多数认为有培训的必要。建议将重要性在3.5以上的题目编制为《定向行走专业能力检核表》;将定向行走专业能力胜任程度在3.5以下的向度作为定向行走师资培训的参考。  相似文献
