Violence in Schools: Perspectives (and hope) from Galtung and Buber

Research into violence in schools has been growing steadily at an international level, and has shown high degrees of violence at various different levels. Given the seriousness of the problem, finding ways of responding to this issue in schools becomes an imperative for educationists. In this article, we engage with this problem by defending the view that whilst violence might be endemic in schools, there are also real possibilities for working towards different ways of being in relationship in schools. Firstly, we discuss Galtung’s understanding of violence and peace, paying particular attention to his concepts of structural and cultural violence, peacekeeping, peacemaking and peacebuilding. Secondly, we connect Galtung’s notions of peacemaking to Buber’s philosophy of dialogue, in order to make a case for an ‘epistemological shift’ which might enable individuals and communities to achieve ‘peace’. Finally, we direct our argument to the education context and put forward some concrete proposals for peacemaking in schools.     

学校社会工作与高校暴力防控

近年来频发的校园暴力事件严重影响着高校的教育和教学,对广大青年学生的身心健康产生了不良影响。传统的思想政治教育对于校园暴力防控显得力不从心。在社会转型过程中,高校预防校园暴力的功能在削弱,传统的学生管理工作需要一个系统的机制来预防校园暴力。学校社会工作以其专业优势,有助于解决当前校园暴力防控的困境。     

职业院校学生社团建设与创新

职业院校学生社团组织既有普通高校学生社团的共性,又有职业院校学生社团的特点.但由于多方面的原因,各个院校学生社团的发展很不平衡,而且不同程度地存在管理不规范、发展不稳定、经费和活动场地不足、缺乏整体规划等问题.根据职业教育特点,各职业院校应大力发展专业技能型社团和创业型社团,把社团活动纳入学分制管理,并尝试网络社团活动和跨校社团活动.     

From school militarization to school securitization: national security finds its place in schools

This ethnography explores daily life at Milton High School, a US public school with its own specialized Homeland Security program. From ‘military grunts’ serving in distant theaters of war to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents defending the US borderlands to National Security Administration (NSA) technicians monitoring worldwide cyber communications, Milton’s Homeland Security program trained students for the multiple permutations of the global war on terror. Based on my ethnographic fieldwork conducted at Milton, this article offers an analysis of what I call ‘school securitization’. While growing critical education scholarship importantly investigates the intensification of militarized education evident in the rise of military charter schools and harsh disciplinary regimes, this ethnography documents how other actors like major defense contractors, security companies, and federal agencies contributed to the school’s remaking. Broadening the analytical framework of school militarization to school securitization accounts for the range of actors, institutions, epistemologies, and security-oriented beliefs beyond the military that shape public education for the production of violence.     

Urban School Leadership and Community Violence: Principal Perspectives and Proactive Responses to Student Mental Health Needs

家庭暴力防治探析:法律规则与道德规则之间

家庭暴力打破了家庭生活应有的宁静与和谐,使得昔日作为"避风港"的家沦为"人间地狱"。现代社会防治家庭暴力具有秩序合理化、关注社会弱势群体权益以及和谐等价值意蕴。应当寻求法律规则与道德规则的良性互动,通过综合治理,如有条件有限度的警察权和司法权的介入、民政部门等社会组织的介入等,根除家庭暴力,保障家庭成员间关系和睦友好。

从教学大纲到课程标准:中职公共基础课程中国家教育意志的嬗变

课程标准是关于课程的基本规范和质量要求,是课程计划中每门学科以纲要形式编写的、有关学科教学内容的指导性文件。2017年教育部启动中职公共基础课程国家标准的修订,将过去一直延用的“教学大纲”改为“课程标准”。从教学大纲到课程标准意味着国家教育意志的意义嬗变,这种意义嬗变主要表现为作用载体从课堂教学转为课程建设,基本视域从关注教学过程转向注重学习结果,目标取向从注重三维目标转向培养学生的学科核心素养。国家教育意志的嬗变需要每个职教人的专业理解与实践,每个职教人应将国家的教育意志融入到每堂课的教学实践中、应用到每位学生的综合素养培育上,实现从教学大纲向课程标准的教学“转身”。

From Public Education to Educational Publics

Students tend to comprehend little and lose focus of classroom instruction when their teachers fail to use instructional strategies that match students’ learning styles. Differentiated instruction can alleviate or eliminate this disengagement. This article describes a case involving a child having difficulty learning and shows how differentiated instruction was used to help this student learn. The author describes the theories on which differentiated instruction is based and provides practical strategies teachers can use to implement this method of teaching.     

Student Free Speech and Schools as Public Spaces

Free speech jurisprudence is caught between crediting the First Amendment rights of students when they resemble adults or restricting such rights when students seemingly act as children. In Morse v. Frederick (2007), the Supreme Court ruled against Joseph Frederick and his “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” banner because Frederick's speech seemed valueless as an adult act, as it lacked any discernible political value. In this essay, Neil Dhingra uses Hannah Arendt's thought to argue that schools should not be interpreted as political spaces but as social spaces where educational authorities should exercise forbearance as students such as Frederick learn to exercise their free speech rights. In particular, students will practice their First Amendment rights by exposing and exploring the discrepancy between appearance and reality, through dark forms of humor, and in forming different types of friendship, all of which schools are unlikely to be able to manage or interpret. Recognizing these unruly and quasi‐humorous forms of First Amendment practice helps make sense of Frederick's banner. Dhingra argues that in order to create space for students to develop freely — that is, without being subject to excessive scrutiny or succumbing to the danger of conformity, or both — schools should show a wide but not unlimited tolerance to speech like that of Frederick, which may otherwise be dismissed as childish and valueless “gibberish.”     

提升高校学生干部公信力的思考

高校学生干部公信力反映出大学生对学生干部的信赖程度,影响着高校学生工作的顺利开展。但目前出现高校学生干部职责不明确,制度不完善;个别学生干部作风不正;学生干部权利监督和制约机制不够完善等问题,严重影响了高校学生干部公信力的提升。究其原因,主要表现为：干群之间关系不和谐、工作上的诸多矛盾、相关公信力的缺失以及个别干部的思想意识偏差。严格干部选拔,加强干部培训;树立干部典型,加强干部作风建设;开辟多渠道监督;提高管理人员的服务意识;注重干部的心理辅导,关心干部成长是提升学生干部公信力的有效措施。     

浅析网络舆论暴力成因——以“后妈虐童”事件为例

综观近年来发生的网络舆论暴力事件,尽管大多数网民的出发点是为了弘扬正义、惩奸罚恶,但它对当事人和社会的影响却不可低估,而且网民的表达方式和采取的实际行动是否理性值得探讨,鉴于舆论暴力事件日益增多,本课题旨在通过分析网络舆论暴力现象的特点、表现,运用传播学理论和相关社会学的视角对该现象做根源、理论上的探究.     

网络舆论暴力的成因与对策

网络舆论暴力是社会舆论暴力在网络上的延伸。网络舆论暴力的成因在于相关法律规制不健全,网络媒体自身有局限性,网民理性的缺失,网络管理把关的缺位以及政府疏导的不到位。有鉴于此,我国政府须进一步完善规范网络行为的相关立法,加强行业自律,发挥＂传媒把关人＂的作用,加强网上舆论引导,拓宽信息渠道,提高网民网络素养,净化网络语言环境,从而有效的解决网络舆论暴力问题。
