A European Context and Framework for Business Education

Higher education in further education colleges has a long history and has expanded in recent years. However, higher education in further education colleges is often treated as being unproblematic. This paper rejects the argument that higher education is simply a level of study, noting that it is a contested concept. As such, the paper seeks to establish a robust definition of just what higher education is. It recognises that the higher education sector is characterised by diversity but argues that, in spite of the differences that exist between higher education institutions, there are certain issues relating to the further education sector that mean that higher education in further education colleges is likely to differ from that in higher education institutions. The paper considers that New Public Management reinforces these differences and, when taken alongside recruitment problems within the further education sector, questions whether or not the development of higher education in further education colleges should be welcomed.     

欧洲CLIL教师教育框架与培养模式及其启示

课语整合式教学(CLIL)是上世纪90年代在欧洲兴起的一种新型教学模式,它是用一门外语来讲授一门非语言类学科,学生在学习学科知识的同时可以习得一门外语,这种新颖的学习理念一经提出便受到了欧洲各国政府的推崇和支持。CLIL教师质量的高低从根本上决定了CLIL教育的成败。因此,为了提升CLIL教师质量,欧盟建构了《CLIL教师教育欧洲框架》,各国在实践中探索出了几种CLIL教师培养模式,都取得了一定成效。欧洲CLIL教师的培养经验可以为我国民汉双语教师的培养提供一些借鉴和启示。

The European Higher Education Area: A New Framework for the Development of Higher Education

Hand in hand with European integration, European higher education must also integrate itself so as to better prepare the highly trained workforce that Europe needs if it is to become the most dynamic and competitive knowledge-based economy in the world. The Bologna Process will lead to the required integration of European higher education while preserving the diversity of European cultures and guaranteeing the assurance of quality. The research role of European higher education is also to be preserved and expanded. Higher education, as the author concludes, must be unified at European level while remaining differentiated at world level.     

Advancing Doctoral Social Work Education: An Application of the Social-Ecological Framework

Graduates of social work doctoral programs are an integral part of social work education and, as faculty, training of BSW and MSW students.

社会和情感能力是21世纪学习者的关键技能.社会和情感教育是培养学习者社会和情感能力的最有效方法之一.然而,目前我国无论是教育政策制定还是学校教育实践,都尚未明确将学习者的社会和情感能力培养作为优先发展方向,学习者社会和情感能力发展水平缺乏可靠的评价指标.因此,如何开展学习者的社会和情感教育形成性评估,如何培养和提升学习者的社会和情感能力,成为新时代我国迫切需解决的重要问题.《欧盟社会和情感教育形成性、包容性、系统性评估方法》报告可为我国开展学习者社会和情感教育形成性评估提供启示与借鉴.文章采用内容分析法和文本分析法,从社会和情感教育评估内涵及框架特征,学习者社会和情感教育形成性评估原则、促成因素、评估模型及工具,课堂及学校社会和情感教育形成性评估原则与指标四个维度分析该报告,思考中国学习者社会和情感教育评估的创新发展路径,提出转变评估方式,构建本土化的社会和情感教育评估框架,探索本土化实践路径;研制中国本土化评估原则及指标,开发多模态评估工具,实施面向学习者、课堂和学校的社会和情感教育;采用系统论观点看待社会和情感教育,开展课堂和学校社会和情感教育形成性评估;开展技术赋能的社会和情感教育培训,提升教师社会和情感教育形成性评估能力,促进教师持续专业发展等建议.     

Sketching a Framework for Graduate Education in Technical Communication

Graduate education in technical communication should provide students with an expansive view of the field. Toward that end, we offer a three-dimensional framework that represents technical communication as a robust, diverse, complex whole. Although the framework aims towards coherence, it embraces contradiction. That is, the framework represents a totality but does not purport to be the only possible representation. Key to the framework is our belief that the gap between theory and practice can actually be productive. Almost all binaries encourage overly simplistic understandings. But we should not allow the goal of remediating the binary to close off the important tensions that can allow the field to advance. This very gap is actually one of the few sites in which new ideas and approaches can be forged.     

Education and European integration

The main purpose of this article is to discuss the implications for education and training of the movement towards integration in Europe in the historic context of the creation of a single market within the European Community (EC) and the end of the Communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe. The experience of the EC is used to illustrate trends and problems in the development of international cooperation in education and training. Common concerns and priorities throughout the new Europe are then identified and discussed. These include the pursuit of quality in schooling, efforts to serve the interests of disadvantaged learners, and the treatment of European Studies in the curriculum, including the improvement of the teaching of foreign languages.

Building a Competency-Based Curriculum in Social Work Education

ABSTRACT

The focus on competency in social work education makes the development of a competency-based curriculum critical. This article describes an approach to curriculum building taking into account the integration, coherency, and integrity of such a curriculum. A presentation of how performance outcomes are fundamental to the relationship between the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standard competencies and the assignments designed to assess their attainment is presented. A demonstration of how the alignment of the components of a course reveals integrity in the curriculum is portrayed. How these aspects coalesce to build a competency-based curriculum is illustrated, and how this curriculum fulfills accreditation requirements is presented. The article concludes with the benefits and a cautionary note on this approach to curriculum building in social work education.
