Technical Communication and the Role of the Public Intellectual: A Community HIV-Prevention Case Study

This article argues that technical communicators are uniquely poised to function as public intellectuals. To demonstrate this point, the author offers the example of her work on a major AIDS prevention program report. Situating this work within the history of technical communication, the current discussion of rhetorics of risk, and the writing classroom, the author argues that technical writers don't have simply the opportunity to engage in textual activism; in many cases they have no alternative.     

Observing Inscriptions at Work: Visualization and Text Production in Experimental Physics Research

This article presents a case study that examined how practices of visualization and text production converge in an experimental physics research setting. Findings suggest that visuals communicate meaning and become persuasive through their ability to index in different ways the technical dimensions of laboratory work. The author argues that examining the coproduction of visuals and texts in the scientific workplace contributes insights into the technical objectives and rhetorical motives they are designed to serve.     

A brid in the hand,although messy,still beats two in the bush

The current controversy in North America regarding the practice of conducting intellectua assessments has generated intense feelings concerning the issues involved in both lay and professional circles. Some critics have suggested that the situation cannot be equitably or scientifically resolved and that a total abandonment of attempts to quantify intellectual abilities should be voluntarily practiced. The author argues this point, taking the position that test misuse is not unavoidable and that assessment results, properly interpreted, provide educators with essential information. A review of the Soviet experience, where standardized assessment procedures have been banned since 1936, lends credence to the latter supposition. The author also suggests that Western researchers might profitably examine the work of educators and psychologists in the USSR in evolving alternative methodologies to study intellectual development and measurement.

Student empowerment in an english language enrichment programme: an action research project in Hong Kong

This paper describes how students are empowered in an action research project. The author argues that, given the opportunity, students are willing and have the ability to exercise their power to control their learning. In addition, the author contends that the more power students have in deciding what and how to learn, the harder they will work, the stronger their learning motivation will be, and the more they will gain in their learning. The experience gained in this project pointed to three important components of student empowerment efforts, i.e. empowerment through involvement, empowerment through partnership and empowerment through action research.     

Youth voice and HIV prevention: discursive opportunities,limitations and productive impossibilities

This paper draws on engagements with ‘voice’ in youth studies and ‘student voice’ work in order to interrogate the limits and opportunities of the call to ‘youth voice’ in HIV prevention discourses. Building on the limitations and opportunities within the debates of the ‘who’, ‘what’ and ‘how’ of speaking and the construction of the youth subject, the author argues that, unless there is commitment to working within the contradictions and instabilities inherent in these debates, ‘youth voice’ risks becoming a powerful discursive technique whereby the blame for failing to prevent HIV is put onto an essentalised category of ‘youth’ as ‘other,’ allowing ‘us’ (the researcher, international development practitioner, technical advisor, policy maker, donor) to escape blame. The author concludes by returning to the notion of an uncertain dialogue and ways in which ‘youth voice’ can begin to work productively within the discursive spaces of HIV prevention.     

Ethical and Supervision Issues in the Use of Counselling and Other Helping Skills with Children and Young People in School

This paper explores the use of counselling and other helping skills with young people in schools, focusing on how teachers, who may not be formally trained, work in this area. The author argues that counselling in schools may not be common but that teachers' use of counselling skills and the involvement in intensive case work is much more so. The ethical issues in this work are identified. It is argued that schools should draw up their own ethical position statements and that staff who are involved in intensive support work with pupils should receive supervision.

A Kantian approach to the dilemma of part‐time faculty

The author addresses the growing concern with part‐time employment within the academy and argues that reliance on part‐time faculty in universities is morally wrong because this practice violates Kant's respect for persons principle. Further, because universities benefit from the employment of part‐timers, the latter are exploited for gains in the universities' end, which undermines the very moral nature of education as a business practice between and among persons. To maintain morality in higher education, universities have a duty to provide a living wage and meaningful work for their employees.

毛泽东撰写《体育之研究》的原因探析

《体育之研究》是毛泽东早期体育思想的代表作,较为系统地阐述了他的体育思想。围绕着毛泽东撰写该文的初衰,研究者众说纷纭。中央文献研究室认为,毛泽东想借此提倡武勇之风和充满朝气的奋斗向上的人生观。尹韵公先生认为,《体育之研究》是为响应陈独秀的思想而作。其实,一战期间北洋政府“对德宣战”一事以及《日俄协约》的秘密签订,才是《体育之研究》成文的初衷。毛泽东《致黎锦熙一书》则是为具体阐述《体育之研究》做了先行铺垫。     

MARC: A Thought Experiment in the Morality of Automated Marking of English

Automated essay scoring programs are becoming more common and more technically advanced. They provoke strong reactions from both their advocates and their detractors. Arguments tend to fall into two categories: technical and principled. This paper argues that since technical difficulties will be overcome with time, the debate ought to be held in terms of the principles. A thought experiment, based on a technically perfect Automated Essay Scorer, is proposed in order to explore the moral questions related to this topic, such as whether students deserve to have their work read by a human. It concludes that affect is an important component both of writing and of the debate, but that if the move to automated scoring stops being an ‘all or nothing’ debate, then many of the objections on principle will be obviated.
