Political Socialization of International Students: Public-Issue Discourse and Discussion on the College Campus     

Mizuki H. Wyant  Elizabeth H. Hurst  Justin Reedy 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2020,49(4):372-393

ABSTRACT

This study examined international students’ interests in public issues in the U.S. and motivational factors behind their discourse or avoidance of such issues. In-depth interviews with international students revealed that they discuss certain public issues in the U.S. to gain or exchange information and knowledge, because these issues are relevant to themselves and others, or due to the misconceptions that others have about their country. Moreover, international students tend to avoid certain public issues because of the level of their knowledge and lack of interest in such issues and in order to avoid dissonance caused by the public issues.  相似文献   

High-stakes examination policies and transformation of the Turkish education system     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2020

This article discusses the rapid changes that have taken place in high-stakes examination policy in Turkey by situating the policy change in the larger debate around the transformation of the education system. A large body of literature has discussed ways in which policy changes in national examinations have interacted with the neoliberal and raced structures in education, thus contributing to the creation and reproduction of educational inequalities. This article contributes to this body of literature by discussing how changes in high-stakes examination systems have interacted with the neoliberal Islamization of education in Turkey and have contributed to the creation of new forms of inequalities. The article also demonstrates how the characteristics of policy change to high-stakes examinations can differ depending on the hegemonic power relations at play.  相似文献   

The effect of toxicity on COVID-19 news network formation in political subcommunities on Reddit: An affiliation network approach     

《International Journal of Information Management》2021

Political polarization remains perhaps the “greatest barrier” to effective COVID-19 pandemic mitigation measures in the United States. Social media has been implicated in fueling this polarization. In this paper, we uncover the network of COVID-19 related news sources shared to 30 politically biased and 2 neutral subcommunities on Reddit. We find, using exponential random graph modeling, that news sources associated with highly toxic – “rude, disrespectful” – content are more likely to be shared across political subreddits. We also find homophily according to toxicity levels in the network of online news sources. Our findings suggest that news sources associated with high toxicity are rewarded with prominent positions in the resultant network. The toxicity in COVID-19 discussions may fuel political polarization by denigrating ideological opponents and politicizing responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, all to the detriment of mitigation measures. Public health practitioners should monitor toxicity in public online discussions to familiarize themselves with emerging political arguments that threaten adherence to public health crises management. We also recommend, based on our findings, that social media platforms algorithmically promote neutral and scientific news sources to reduce toxic discussion in subcommunities and encourage compliance with public health recommendations in the fight against COVID-19.  相似文献   

新时代高职院校思政课教师队伍建设的思考     

戴从容  李来原  施敏发 《淮南职业技术学院学报》2020,(2):31-34

长期以来,高职院校思想政治理论课教师与专业课教师队伍建设相比重视不够,评价体系不尽合理,教师职称晋升难,思政课部和思政教研室等基层教学组织建设滞后等,导致高职院校思政课教师队伍建设存在着数量不足、结构不尽合理、能力不强等问题。因此,高职院校要高度重视思政课教师队伍建设,要对标要求、科学规划、强化落实,要关心、支持思政课教师的成长,推动思政课教师队伍持续健康发展。  相似文献

教师教育U-S合作的结构性障碍与路径选择     

张翔 《辽宁教育研究》2014,(6):95-99

大学与中小学(U-S)合作是当前教师教育的一条有效出路。但目前我国教师教育U-S合作过程存在严重的结构性障碍,主要表现为合作中的异质性资源依赖感不强,合作主体的合法性认同严重不足,合作协调机制缺位。因此,我们需要充分挖掘U-S合作中的异质性资源,增强双方异质性资源依赖程度;赋予中小学教师教育义务并提升合作双方的利益共识,增强合作主体的合法性认同;构建政府统筹的U-S合作管理体制,规范合作行为。  相似文献   

新时期加强高校党外知识分子政治引导的思考     

孙计萍 《黄冈职业技术学院学报》2011,13(4):43-46

加强高校党外知识分子政治引导,是当前高校统战工作的一项重要内容。在具体工作中,由于高校党外知识分子的民主意识增强、党外知识分子政治需求多元化、党外知识分子政治引导机制缺乏等,存在着不同程度的不足。加强党外知识分子的政治引导要着眼于思想建设,提高政治素质、着重于机制建设,规范参与路径、着手于群体建设,加强个体培养、着力于拓宽视野,提供参与平台。  相似文献   

Explaining self-efficacy development in an authentic higher education learning context of role-play simulations     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2021

Role-play simulations have become commonly used active learning methods to teach about complex, dynamic political processes. However, an understanding of why there is variation in student learning during such simulations is lacking. This study focuses on the development of student self-efficacy in negotiating over the period of one simulation. We investigate to what extent self-efficacy development can be explained by the individual characteristics of students. This study further contributes to the field by including perceived student cohesiveness as a social aspect of the simulation. Data from 84 participants were collected during a four-day Model United Nations (MUN) simulation. Self-efficacy in negotiating was measured using 12 measurement times, and the data analysed using multilevel growth modelling. Results show a statistically significant linear increase in self-efficacy in negotiating over the period of the simulation. Compared to the time factor, individual characteristics explain variation in self-efficacy development to a larger extent, of which perceived student cohesiveness contributes the most.  相似文献
