Dissolving boundaries: cross-national co-operation through technology in education     

John Morgan 《Curriculum Journal》2013,24(1):55-68

This article reports research on cross-national co-operation through Information and Communications Technology (ICT) within the statutory curricula of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, the views and experiences of teachers in partner schools in the north and south of Ireland were sought on the capacity and potential of asynchronous computer conferencing and videoconferencing to generate collaborative work in a cross-border setting, to promote cultural awareness among primary and post-primary pupils, and to improve teacher and pupil competence in ICT. The results showed a significant improvement in ICT competence, and also revealed that technical training, enthusiasm and commitment were the key factors for success, and that not only did the pupils develop an awareness of the cultural identity of distant peers, but their sense of responsibility, self-esteem and motivation grew. This particularly helped less able and quieter pupils. There was unexpected rôle reversal when children helped their teachers within an ICT context, a situation not found elsewhere in the curriculum. Additionally, there were beneficial effects on literacy, group work and independent learning, and the skills acquired were transferable. The commitment of the teachers to continue this cross-national work with limited support is a measure of its potential sustainability.  相似文献   

全球化时代的语际批评家和语际理论家--谁来评判刘若愚及其比较文学研究读本     

杨乃乔 《徐州师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2006,32(2):11-15

美国人文学界有“东夏西刘”之美称,“东夏”是指美国东海岸哥伦比亚大学的华裔学者夏志清,“西刘”是指美国西海岸斯坦福大学的华裔学者刘若愚。刘若愚先生是一位难得的把中国传统文论与西方20世纪欧美文论整合起来的语际批评家,是一位在欧美学界和汉语学界有着极为重要影响的优秀学者。刘若愚不止是用英语讲述中国诗学的“语际批评家”(interlingual critic),他更想成为把中国传统诗学与20世纪欧美文学理论综合起来而自成一家之言的“语际理论家”(interlingual theorist)。  相似文献

地区研究与比较政治学的理论革新     

陈家喜 《教学与研究》2007,19(1):84-89

地区研究是一种使用多学科视角考察异域文化与社会的研究.它的兴起与演进同二战以来的国际政治形势密切相关,从而与比较政治学结下不解之缘.地区研究为推动比较政治学的理论革新和知识储备等方面提供了有力的支撑.冷战结束和全球化的到来,既带来了地区研究的重大危机,也预示了地区研究的新前景.  相似文献

浅析中国近现代历史发展的两次重大转变     

姜志强  孙运彩 《青海师专学报》2004,24(2):13-14

From the Didactic to the Dialectic—Intercultural Exchanges in Contemporary Counsellor Education     

Ann Moir-Bussy  Catherine Sun 《International journal for the advancement of counseling》2008,30(3):202-212

Within the context of the growing development of intercultural counsellor education, the question of how different cultures reconceptualize and transform Western counselling theories for their own context is an important one. In this intercultural exchange in education, concepts such as ‘globalization’, ‘indigenization’ and ‘universalization’ have an impact on the education process. This paper briefly explores these terms and movements and then highlights findings from a research project that took place with a group of counselling graduates in Hong Kong examining how they undertook the processes of reconceptualization and transformation. The dialogical process involved in that enabled participants and researcher to co-explore the process of knowledge development within the counselling education field. Implications for counsellor education are highlighted.

张蓉 《成都教育学院学报》2011,(4):45-48,58

全球化背景下中国基础教育改革的基本走向问题,可以用费孝通先生所提出的＂各美其美,美人之美,美美与共,天下大同＂的文化自觉历程来加以概括。即在当今不同民族的文化教育不断接触、碰撞与交流、融合的态势下,我们需要对本民族的文化教育形成清晰的认识与理解,珍视民族优秀文化传统,承认文化差异的存在,了解和尊重其他民族的教育和文化,在坚持多元化的基础上寻求普遍共识。  相似文献

当今中国武术的发展已经脱离了原始的发展环境和空间，其生存和发展境遇已到了关键时刻。而全球化已是当今社会发展的主要趋势所在，中国武术的发展必须与时代相融合，突出时代主题。因此，中国武术在当今全球化背景下，首先要追求“和而不同”，与西方文化进行平等交流；其次，中国武术的发展要追求科学精神和人文精神，进一步追求个体与人类的统一；最后，中国武术发展要追求“天人合一”，人与自然的和谐相处。  相似文献
