对中小学择校问题的再思考

对于中小学择校现象应当重新予以认识。择校是指人们对就读学校的选择,在当前具有合理性和必然性。目前择校主要有以分择校、以权择校和以钱择校等三种形式。合理的择校应当以学生的素质为依据,同时视学校的具体情况确定招收择校生的数量及收费标准。择校既具有积极的意义,也有一定的负面影响。解决择校问题要从政府、社会和学校等多方面着手。

构建江西省大中小学德育体系的基本思路——“江西省大中小学德育体系整体规划研究”报告

教育部在2005年颁布了《关于整体规划大中小学德体系的意见》（以下简称《意见》）,《意见》对于加强和改进大学生思想政治教育和中小学生思想道德教育工作,构建具有时代性、把握规律性、增强实效性的大中小学德育体系具有普遍的指导意义。《意见》是针对构建全国性的大中小学德育体系而颁布的,这就决定了它只能忽略差异性而寻求共同性与统一性。这种普遍、共同的、统一的德育体系对地方德育体系和校本德育体系的构建具有宏观指导作用,但它不能取代地方性德育体系。     

Aquarium biology in schools

Summaries

English

Despite their presence in the majority of school biology departments, aquaria are underused and underexploited. In this paper, possible reasons for this are examined, some uses are mentioned, relevant literature is cited and some ‘corrective’ measures are suggested. The treatment is not intended to be exhaustive; rather, it is hoped that the arguments and examples presented will serve as a stimulus to educators to explore the potential of ‘Aquarium Biology’ in relation to their own personal teaching programmes.     

Psychopharmacology in the schools

Psychotropic medications prescribed frequently to children and adolescents for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are reviewed. Pediatric pharmacological options based on double‐blind, randomized studies are examined. We advocate that psychotropic medications be used only in conjunction with psychosocial interventions and that collaborative practices between medical and school professionals are essential. School psychologists play a critical role in medication management by monitoring behavioral, social‐emotional, and academic outcomes, coordinating the intervention team, interfacing with the prescribing physician, and providing psychosocial interventions. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
