未成年人思想道德教育现状分析——来自246位地县教育局长的调查

通过对国家教育行政学院“地市及县市教育局长培训班”246位来自全国地市、县市教育局长的问卷调查数据的分析,可以看出,多数教育局长对本地区可接触的中小学生思想道德发展的整体状况持比较肯定的态度,对德育的针对性和实效性也持基本肯定的态度。但也有很多局长对当前的德育工作、中小学学生的思想道德状况评价不高,一些局长对德育本身重要性的认识还有待提高。因此,要重视区域特征,进一步突出未成年人思想道德教育工作的针对性和实效性。

论加强高校学生党支部的建设

新的历史时期,党的自身建设显得十分重要。高校学生党支部是党在高校的最基层组织,是大学德育工作的重要承担者,对在高校贯彻执行党的各项路线、方针、政策起着非常重要的作用。因此,应切实加强高校学生党支部的建设。而认真抓好学生党支部书记的培养、学生党员的教育管理、新党员的发展、党的自身建设以及社会实践活动五个环节,是加强高校学生党支部建设的根本所在。     

Pedagogical devices as children’s social care levers: A study of social care workers’ attitudes towards boarding schools to care for and educate children in need

It has been proposed that boarding schools in England can be used to provide a stable education and care environment for vulnerable children in need, and the government is expanding their use. However, for vulnerable children to be placed in boarding schools, social workers will need to be willing to contemplate boarding as a viable care option. In this study we interviewed N = 21 social care practitioners including directors, senior and middle managers, frontline social workers, social worker-academics and family support workers who work with vulnerable children. Using thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews, seven major themes identified a range of issues and concerns held by social care workers about placing vulnerable children in boarding schools. We present these themes and consider the issues that will have to be addressed prior to changes in policy and practice. The study concludes that many of those within the social work profession are unlikely to consider boarding as an intervention for children in need. Further research in this area is a matter of urgency.     

进城务工农民随迁子女教育状况调研报告

中国东部沿海地区义务教育阶段城乡课堂环境差异

Totally 789 students from 18 schools (9 primary schools and 9 junior high schools) at a medium managed level from Shanghai, Wenzhou, and Aojiang, which are located in the Eastern coastal developed areas of China were investigated with the questionnaire of Hong Kong Classroom Environment Scale in this study. The result indicates that the actual classroom environment in the Eastern coastal developed areas at the present stage of curriculum reform is as follows. (1) The satisfaction of the students is above the average. Teachers’ involvement and support are higher than collaboration, classroom order and the student involvement. (2) There are significant differences between urban and rural areas. The big cities are better than the middle-sized cities, while the latter are better than the counties in the aspects of collaboration, teacher involvement and support. The big cities are better than counties, but the counties are better than the middle-sized cities in the aspects of classroom order and student involvement. (3) The three main types of the actual classroom environment are high, middle and low ones, which distribute in a descending way in big cities, middle-sized cities and counties. (4) Per capita GDP of a region is a main factor affecting classroom environment. __________ Translated from Jiaoyu Xuebao 教育学报(Journal of Educational Studies), 2007, 3(3): 77–85     

History Conference held by the History Department of Kaifeng normal College

The History Department of Kaifeng Normal College recently sponsored a conference on history. Among those invited were history departments from our fraternal schools and other related departments from twelve provinces and cities, thirty-one units in all. Comrades participating in the meeting raised the banner of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought. They stood together and accomplished an in-depth exposure and criticism of the self-serving use of historical analogy by the "gang of four." They vigorously denounced the "gang of four's" counterrevolutionary crime of trying to use history to usurp the Party and seize power; they uncovered the "gang of four's" evil intent in wantonly distorting Marxism-Leninism, forging history, and attempting to knock out a large number of leading comrades in the Party, government and army so that they could usurp the Party, seize power and restore capitalism.

关于中小学音乐教学现状的思考

中小学音乐教学存在许多不适应时代发展的因素。在农村,小学音乐教学80%以上无专职音乐教师,教学方法陈旧、单调,教学设施、器材奇缺,"唱歌"是音乐的全部;城市小学以"识谱"为主要教学内容;中学音乐欣赏教学不注重学生求异思维的训练和创造力的培养等。尽快严格地实施中小学音乐课程标准,加强职后教育,建立一支具有改革意识的高素质的音乐教师队伍,改革高师音乐学专业现有课程体系是改变中小学音乐教学现状的途径。     

Reflections on the Law and Curricular Values in American Schools

The Supreme Court's 1925 ruling in Pierce v. Society of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (Pierce), striking down a law from Oregon that would have required all children, other than those needing special education, between the ages of 8 and 16 to attend public schools, essentially upheld the right of nonpublic schools to operate. At the same time, the Court recognized that state officials could “reasonably…regulate all schools, to inspect, supervise, and examine them, their teachers and pupils” (p. 534). However, in practice, other than health and safety code issues, educational officials typically impose fewer restrictions on nonpublic schools than on public schools, particularly on curricular content. In light of the significant curricular differences between public and nonpublic schools, this two-part article reflects on how educators in both systems can learn from one another as they seek to ensure the presence of diversity of educational perspectives in the marketplace of ideas. The first part of the article examines legal developments on selected curricular issues, and the second section offers recommendations on how educational leaders can work to maintain the vibrancy of American schools by affording parents the opportunity to send their children to study in schools best meeting their needs.

Preparing the educational interpreter. A survey of sign language interpreter training programs

Despite rapid growth in the field of educational interpreting little is known about the formal training of educational interpreters. This gap in the research is the focus of this study. A questionnaire was sent to the directors of 50 interpreter training programs nationwide asking for information about their course work in educational interpreting and related areas; instruction in signed English systems; and the directors' opinions on certain ethical and professional questions facing the educational interpreter. The results suggest that graduates of interpreter training programs who obtain employment as public school interpreters are not adequately prepared. Training programs provide few courses on the education of deaf children, on the language systems used, and on issues specific to classroom interpreting. The directors of these programs overwhelmingly support the development of guidelines on the educational interpreter's role. They show some support for the "interpreter as tutor" role but are equivocal about the development of a special certification for educational interpreters.     

残疾儿童随班就读质量影响因素的调查

对全国三类经济发展水平不同地区的14个县(市、区)的674名教育管理人员、教研员、校长和教师进行了问卷调查。结果表明:当前我国残疾儿童随班就读质量的提高受到政府部门的政策制定与执行、普校师资特教专业水平、特教中心(特教学校)的指导作用、普校对残疾儿童的接纳程度、资源教室的建立以及家长和社区的支持等各方面因素影响。因此,随班就读质量的提高应是一系统工程,应建立涵盖各方面因素的支持体系。     

中国西部地区农村学校义务教育教学质量研究

The paper has compared the quality of compulsory education of rural schools in West China with the counties, cities, and provincial capitals, and find out that there is a big gap between the quality of West rural and urban compulsory education, the quality of some grades of the rural primary schools has not achieved the basic requirement of the curriculum standards, the gap between the quality of junior high schools in rural and urban areas is relatively severe. The mean score and qualified rate in the subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English of West rural junior high students are distinctly lower than that of the urban and county schools. The main factor that leads to the bigger discrepancy between the urban and rural education quality mainly lies in the difference in the teaching force. Compared with urban schools, the teachers in rural schools is insufficient and poorly-trained, with less access to teachers’ professional development and support. The teaching quality in the West rural schools should be paid attention and improved in light of the rationale of educational equity. __________ Translated from Jiaoyu Yanjiu 教育研究 (Educational Research), 2008, (2): 21–32     

西部地区农村学校义务教育教学质量研究

通过对西部地区农村学校与县城、地市、省会城市学校义务教育阶段教学质量的调查比较发现:城乡义务教育阶段教学质量存在较大的差距,其中农村小学部分年级的教学质量未能达到课程标准的基本要求;城乡初中教学质量的差距较为严重,农村初中学生在语文、数学和英语三科的平均成绩、合格率等都明显地低于城市和县城学校。造成城乡义务教育教学质量差异较大的主要原因在于师资队伍之间的差异,与城市学校相比,农村学校教师数量不够,素质不高,教师专业发展机会较少、专业支持不够等。应从教育公平的理念出发,提高农村学校教育教学质量。
