成人教育是构建学习型社会的重要依托

进入新世纪,我国在"全面建设小康社会"总目标指引下,确定了"形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会"的社会发展目标,这就要求我国教育事业特别是成人教育的全面、协调、持续发展.成人教育必须从加强体系建设、提高服务水平、突出发展重点、关注人的全面发展等方面深化改革,才能成为构建学习型社会的重要依托.     

试论当前我国构建学习型社会的现实条件

党的十六大把"形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会,促进人的全面发展"作为全面建设小康社会的一个重要目标.建设学习型社会目标的提出是当前我国经济和社会发展到一定阶段的产物,随着我国经济、政治、科技、文化的大发展,已初步具备了构建学习型社会的基本条件,因此,文章从经济、政治、文化、科技四个层面来进一步分析当前我国构建学习型社会的现实条件.     

创建学习型学校增强综合竞争力

党的十六大吹响了"全面建设小康社会"的进军号角,要求"形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会,促进人的全面发展",学习已成为时代的主旋律.面向21世纪,面对学习型社会,具有竞争力的学校,只能是学习型学校.学习型学校的建设是适应时代发展要求,是体现学校发扬主动精神和进取精神的重要举措,是学校内涵的深化与拓宽.     

学习型社会视野下对高职院校的再认识

党的十六大明确提出"形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会,促进人的全面发展"的远大目标,这使建设学习型社会成为党和国家的意志和行动,也是"全面建设小康社会"的客观需要.当前,高等职业教育发展面临着新形势和新任务,我们必须在建设学习型社会的时空中,对职业技术院校进行再认识,在更广阔的视野下审视它的可持续发展性.     

与时俱进 建设学习型特殊教育学校

党的十六大提出了"形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会,促进人的全面发展"的要求,学习型社会是小康社会的重要特征.建设学习型社会,教育要构建与之相适应的现代教育体系,为学习型社会构筑基本框架提供保证;还要积极建立学习型组织,并作出表率.     

我国学习型社会建设应该重新审视的三个“老问题”

结合哈钦斯、富尔等人的研究成果,我国的官方表述以及国内外相关发展情况,就学习型社会究竟是什么、建设学习型社会究竟为了什么、学习型社会建设究竟要抓什么等三个"老问题"进行了再研究。通过研究提出如下观点:"学习者"是学习型社会的主体,"学习和创造"是学习型社会的主要活动,"全民学习、终身学习"是学习型社会的最主要特征,个人和社会自由全面地发展是学习型社会建设的目的。这应该成为我国学习型社会建设的基本立场和原则。     

打造学习型校园 拓展教育新内涵

党的十六大报告在"全面建设小康社会的奋斗目标"中,提出了"形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会,促进人的全面发展"的奋斗目标。在学习型社会里,作为社会细胞的家庭将成为"学习型家庭",校园将成为"学习型校园",企业(团体)将成为"学习型组织",城市将成为"学习型城市"。我国将发展成为一种全民学习和终身学习的高级社会形态。     

高校应成为学习型社会建设的引领者

党的"十六大"报告把"形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会,促进入的全面发展",写入全面建设小康社会的奋斗目标."学习型社会"提法自1965年问世至今,其理论已经拓展为对一种新的经济社会形态的阐述.     

论学习型社会的农村基础教育人才培养模式

"形成全民学习、终身学习的学习型社会,促进人的全面发展",这是我们党提出的全面建设小康社会的奋斗目标之一.实现这一目标,必须跨越农村地区这一步.我国大部分人口在农村,只有广大农村地区形成学习型社会,才有希望形成全国的学习型社会.形成农村地区的学习型社会,就在于发展农村基础教育,通过农村基础教育提高劳动者素质,使人口资源变为人力资源.     

企业战略性业绩评价指标体系的设计

学习型社会是全面建设小康社会的一个重要指标,在这里学习具有全民性、终身性、人本性的特点.而以"远距离"开放性为特征的现代远程教育正好迎合了学习型社会的特点,为我们进入学习型社会提供了一条现实有效的途程.为了更好的服务于全民的学习,早日叩响学习型社会的大门,现代远程教育需要建立面向未来的课程体系,充分发挥教育者的导学作用,注重对学习者自学能力的培养,把人的全面发展作为教育的落脚点.     

Researching the rhetoric of lifelong learning

In the analysis of polices for lifelong learning, the gap between the rhetoric and reality has become the focus for much debate and concern. Reality is compared with rhetoric and both are found wanting. In this paper, we argue that such critiques misconceive the significance of rhetoric and we outline the form a rhetorical analysis of lifelong learning policy could take. Using the UK government's 1998 Green Paper and 1999 White Paper on lifelong learning as illustrations, we suggest that rhetorical analysis helps to point to the politics of discourse that is at play in policy-making processes. This is a politics - often dismissed as spin-doctoring - with which we need to engage if our own attempts to develop lifelong learning are to be persuasive.     

略论大学修辞教学改革

修辞教学改革要从两方面入手 :一是教材改革 ,二是教学方法改革。教材建设要注重加强修辞要素各变量与语体风络系统动态适应的分析 ,增强修辞学科的理论性与实用性 ;教学改革就是要引导学生正确认识修辞的内涵 ,激发学生学习兴趣 ,努力尝试更灵活务实的新方式。     

修辞的本质与功能——兼论修辞与和谐社会的构建

本文拟从西方修辞学的角度探究构建和谐社会的途径.关于修辞学在发展和维护社会和谐方面的作用是一个值得探究的广泛而深刻的问题,它探索在建立和维护一个社会时修辞学的特殊功能,探讨人类是否依靠修辞创造和谐,达到一个理性社会所需要的在工作和生活中的协作、最终取得同一性以及共同的社会价值取向.本文将修辞置于社会结构关系和社会人际互动的背景中进行考察,分析社会心理认知、话语认知与修辞行为的动态共变关系,揭示修辞的规律与目的,探讨修辞的本质与功能.     

Finding the ‘Enunciative Space’ for Teacher Leadership and Teacher Learning in Schools

Drawing on a collaborative Australian Research Council funded project entitled the ‘Teachers’ Learning Project’, the author takes issue with the rhetoric of the ‘learning society’ and, in particular, he interrogates the notion of the learning teacher in a number of schools. He provides a critical examination of the direction of teachers’ work under current technicist reconstruals of it. He draws on case studies to show how some schools have been able to position themselves as moral learning communities which have created vibrant indigenous cultures of learning about themselves, their community and their work in a context of a commitment to democratic and participatory citizenship.     

Lifelong Earning: working-class women and lifelong learning

This article argues that despite the rhetoric that surrounds lifelong learning, barriers to participation for working-class women are too often ignored or made invisible. Starting from a critique of current policies and practices of lifelong learning that are based in instrumentalism and individualism, the article addresses the diversities of working-class women's multiple identities and considers some of the (apparent) wider benefits of learning for working-class women. The article concludes that many working-class women are trapped in a cycle of lifelong earning that centres on low-paid, low-status jobs. What they learn is that, in a learning society that remains driven by market forces based in inequalities of gender, race and class, there is no political escape.     

Reality bytes: examining the rhetoric of widening educational participation via ICT

Information and communications technology (ICT) has fast become the rhetorical foundation of the UK government's attempts to transform adult education radically and to establish a ‘learning society’. Central to this rhetoric are a series of largely untested assumptions about the potential of ICT to increase and widen levels of educational participation to include those groups of learners who have previously been excluded. With this in mind, the present paper contrasts recent government rhetoric concerning post-compulsory ‘e-learning’ with an analysis of data from the 2002 National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) survey of 5,885 households. With these data suggesting that access to ICT does not, in itself, make people any more likely to participate in education and (re)engage with learning, the paper concludes by considering how ICT might be more realistically re-approached by the educational and political communities.     

Neglected Facets of Peirce’s ‘Speculative’ Rhetoric

Abstract

The author presents a novel interpretation of Peirce’s ‘speculative rhetoric’ (the third and culminating branch of his general theory of signs), then draws out the most important implications of Peircean rhetoric for understanding our educational practices and, more generally, human learning. Improvisation and the unanticipated emergence of novel purposes are herein stressed.     

Contradictions in theorizing and implementing communities in education

Past educational improvement endeavors were fundamentally centered on the learner as an individual. This changed by the early 1990s after an increasing number of educators and researchers embraced sociocultural learning concepts such as “communities of practice,” “communities of learners,” and “knowledge-building communities.” These ideas are originally grounded in a dialectical materialist, cultural-historical theory of activity, or, as Lev Vygotsky called it, in a “concrete human [social] psychology.” However, as these concepts filtered into Western scholarship, some of their defining characteristics have been lost or downplayed. The intention of this article is thus to offer a more complete theorization of the educational notion of community that is centered on collective activity or practice mediated by history and culture/society. Two case studies, which exemplify learning communities using this lens, conclude the paper.
