Worldwide deliberation and public use of reason online   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

May Thorseth 《Ethics and Information Technology》2006,8(4):243-252

The aim of this paper is threefold: (i) to trace the idea of deliberation back in the history of philosophy and establish the link to the Kantian concept of public reason; (ii) to pave the way for rhetoric as a constituent part of public deliberation; (iii) to undertake an applied ethical approach to worldwide deliberation online. The two former aims are treated in part one of the paper, whereas the applied analysis is undertaken in part two. One important task is to demonstrate in what ways the internet as a new and powerful venue for deliberation both challenges the old theories of public deliberation, and also points in the direction of certain revisions of our basic ideas about deliberation.  相似文献   

Institutional policy process improvement: using structurating activity theory to inform practice     

Heather E. Canary  Kris May  Marc D. Rinehart  Jahn B. Barlow 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2018,46(2):202-222

Organizational communication scholars are increasingly called upon to use theoretical knowledge to address problematic processes in public institutions. This article reports a process improvement project focused on a university conflict of interest (COI) policy as an example of how scholars can engage theory to improve ongoing policy processes. The project team included communication scholars and research administration staff who designed, implemented, and evaluated the mixed-methods project guided by structurating activity theory. Baseline survey results were used to design the process improvement project. Results of the follow-up survey indicate that researchers who participated in some aspect of the process improvement project (i.e. attending a policy café, using the redesigned website, or reading the new Quick Reference Guide) reported higher levels of policy communication and knowledge and more positive attitudes toward the COI policy than researchers who had not engaged with process improvement efforts. We offer theoretical and practical implications of results for organizational communication scholars and practitioners.  相似文献   

Culturally and Linguistically Relevant Readalouds     

Laura A. May  Gary E. Bingham  Meghan L. Pendergast 《Multicultural Perspectives》2014,16(4):210-218

The teacher readaloud is an instructional tool established in its ability to foster children's language and literacy development. Increasing cultural and linguistic diversity and changing standards place pressure on teachers to provide literacy and language instruction relevant to children's everyday lives and learning. This article presents a framework for conducting culturally and linguistically relevant readalouds within two essential components, talk and text, in terms of developing cultural competence, maintaining high academic expectations, and fostering a critical stance. Particular attention is given to the interactive nature of these readalouds and how they can be used to promote children's active co-construction of textually-based meaning.  相似文献

Activating lignite and sludge by electro-hydraulic impulse     

陈德淑 《重庆大学学报(英文版)》2003,2(2)

1. Introduction At present, it is necessary to use fertilizer to ensure the stable and high agricultural productivity. However, as we all know, the fertilizer not only decreases the self-fertility of soil, but also is accompanied with pesticide. Food poisoning caused by remnant pesticide in fruits and vegetables is often reported, and in such cases, chronic poisoning is the majority. The remnant pesticide accumulates in body gradually, and then induces kinds of disease. As reported, the Miyu…  相似文献   

Making departmental changes through action research,based on adult learning principles     

Robert Conway  David Kember  Atara Sivan  May Wu 《Higher Education》1994,28(2):265-282

Action research was used as a means of introducing adult learning principles into the teaching of an optometry department. The department took as an overall development theme the move from teacher-directed to leamer-directed activities. Pilot studies were used as a mechanism for trialling particular innovations. Lessons learnt from the pilot studies are shared with the remainder of the department for incorporation into other subjects, thus evolving a mechanism for departmental change. The paper shows how change occurred by reporting briefly two pilot studies as examples. The first used group project teams to prepare class presentations for specified topics. Some novel presentation methods were used by the student teams. Peer assessment was introduced into this subject in the second cycle of the pilot study as a result of feedback from the first cycle. The second pilot study introduced active learning methods in place of lectures.  相似文献   

TEACHERS’ ATTITUDES TO RELIGIOUS EDUCATION     

P. R. May 《Educational research; a review for teachers and all concerned with progress in education》2013,55(1):66-70

This is a short historical review showing how researchers in the early part of this century attempted to define and measure artistic ability and establish a relationship between such ability and general intelligence. The definition of artistic ability was a recurring difficulty which has not, indeed, been satisfactorily settled yet, although the inadequacy of some of the criteria put forward earlier in the century can now be clearly seen. Such criteria were often wholly convergent, requiring pupils to conform to pre‐established notions of ‘correctness’ which now seem inappropriate to the subject.  相似文献   

Two critical psychological components of ski racing: Fun and feelings     

Jerry R. May 《Journal of sports sciences》2013,31(3):337-343

The concepts of having fun and being aware of feeling states are presented as two critical factors in ski racing. First, the positive motivational characteristics of ‘fun’ are outlined. It is suggested that fun is not only a concept for young athletes but elite ones as well. Preliminary data based on a questionnaire, completed by the United States Alpine Ski Team and approximately 150 ski coaches, are presented. Second, the discussion on feelings refers to the mental programming of tactile sensations and determining one's emotional arousal (feeling state) prior to, and during, competition. Practical suggestions are made with regard to the psychological states and their effects on ski racing.  相似文献
