Let Us Work Together with One Mind to Assault the Fortress of Popularizing Nine Years of Compulsory Education

As one of the most populous provinces in the country, Henan Province faces an enormous and arduous task for popularizing nine years of compulsory education (NYCE) throughout the province. In order to accomplish this historic mission, the provincial Party committee and the provincial government have proposed a strategy of "Prospering Henan Province Through Science and Education," in which, from first to last, we are placing education in a position of priority for development. In handling matters of the relationship among the various types and levels of education, we are firmly maintaining that compulsory education must be put in the position of being "the most important matter among all important matters," so as to promote the sustained, healthy, and secure development of compulsory education throughout the province. At this time, in terms of the major indicators, the degree of popularizing NYCE in our province is slightly ahead of the average levels and standards for the country as a whole. The average number of years of education received by the citizens of our province has increased from 6.3 years in 1990 to 7 years today, and thus there has been a relatively significant improvement in the educational quality of our citizens; this has, in turn, helped to promote the construction of the TWO Civilizations throughout our province.     

Make a Breakthrough at the Critical Points and Strive to Complete the Mission of Popularizing Nine Years of Compulsory Education on All Fronts

In order to accomplish the mission of popularizing nine years of compulsory education (NYCE) in Shaanxi Province according to schedule and also to ensure quality, we have, over many years, given full play to the functional role of the Education Commission and have put the popularizing of NYCE in the position of being "the most important of all that is important." We have been enthusiastic and have put all our strengths together to fight this battle; thus there has been a fundamental transformation of the outlook of basic education in some of the counties on the great plains of the Guanzhong region and especially in the impoverished regions.     

Promote the Implementation of the Plan to Popularize Nine Years of Compulsory Education Concretely and in a Down-to-Earth Way

In recent years the Education Commission of Fujian Province has taken further steps toward placing the work of popularizing nine years of compulsory education (NYCE) in a position of being "the most important of all that is important" among the various items of enterprises to be developed; it has also upheld the drawing up of plans by each district and locality, and the provision of instructions and guidance to each region within the province depending on the category in which the region belongs, and has thus given great impetus to the promotion of smoothly implementing the plan for popularizing NYCE.     

Put Forth All Our Efforts to Fight Well the Battle to Popularize Nine Years of Compulsory Education

If we are to bring about the Four Modernizations, we must recognize that our key tools are science and technology and our foundation lies in education. Since the inception of our nation's reform and opening up to the outside world, the provincial Party committee of Fujian and the provincial government have consistently taken the popularization of nine years of compulsory education (NYCE) to be the basis of the growth and development of the entire educational enterprise and have given it their greatest attention. In accordance with the planning and preparations stipulated by the Party Central Committee and the State Council, our provincial Party committee and provincial government have focused solely on accomplishing the educational work of the entire province in the 1980s and 1990s. Then, in 1994, they further resolved that NYCE be basically popularized throughout the province by 1998 and proceeded to mobilize the entire society's forces to fight the battle to popularize NYCE. At this time, the battle has come to its final stage, and in all areas we are pushing toward the goals that have been set, in accordance with the plans and schedules, and fully aware of the need to ensure qualitative as well as quantitative accomplishment.     

How a Poverty-stricken County Realized the Goal of Popularizing Nine Years of Compulsory Education

By the end of 1996, nine of the ten districts and counties under the jurisdiction of the government of Jinan municipality in Shandong Province had already passed the provincial government's inspection of the results of popularizing nine years of compulsory education (NYCE), with Shanghe County being the only one remaining. Shanghe County had once been one of the fourteen impoverished counties in Shandong Province, with an annual revenue of less than 40 million rmb. Earlier this year, when people estimated that it would take some 60 to 70 million rmb for the county to be able to realize the popularization of NYCE, even the people of Shanghe themselves thought this was a fairy tale.     

Take Hold of the Two Major Difficulties,Realize the Goals of Popularizing Nine Years of Compulsory Education

What struck us most deeply as we visited Anhui Province to learn about the conditions of popularizing nine years of compulsory education (NYCE) there was the courage to innovate on the part of the people of Anhui and their spirit of accomplishing things. In the face of the two major difficulties—the need to invest in the educational budget and the enhancement of the rate of popularization—the folks in Anhui not only came up with a way to resolve these problems but also put their noses to the grindstone and, in the most pragmatic manner, worked hard to produce remarkable results.     

We Are Determined to Achieve Our Goals on Schedule

It is June and throughout the land of Bamin (Fujian), the subtropical flora appears luscious and verdant under the bright, hot rays of the sun. With arrangements made by the Fujian Provincial Education Commission, we correspondents (for Zhongguo jiaoyubao) visited a number of districts in northern, western, and southern Fujian as well as some of the schools in these regions and witnessed the actual conditions of the battle being waged against the formidable issue of popularizing nine years of compulsory education (NYCE) in these places.     

We Are Going to Promote Rich Education in the Poor Localities

At Shiyan municipality, all the six counties and municipal localities outside the urban center belong to national- and provincial-level poor counties and cities. Nonetheless, the people here are not resigned to their poverty; instead, they have put great effort into popularizing nine years of compulsory education (NYCE) and have enhanced the quality of human resources as a fundamental way to put people on the road to wealth and well-being. They are desperately short of funds, yet they put all they have into supporting education. The masses here say: "Even those of us who wear nothing but straw sandals on our feet need to contribute resources to education. Our ancestors are poor but our descendants need not be. Those who have leather shoes to wear must also contribute so that our descendants will be better off than their ancestors."     

A Perspective on How Students of Pedagogy Perceive Their Vocation in the Present Situation

In 1994, inspired and encouraged by the spirit of the National Conference on Educational Work, Anhui Province resolved to move the deadline for realizing the popularization of nine-year compulsory education (NYCE) in the entire province from the year 2000 to the year 1998, thereby bringing the province into the ranks of the type–2 regions of the nation in terms of popularizing NYCE. How does Anhui Province hope to ensure that such a goal may be accomplished on schedule—in just less than two years' time? To find the answer to this question, these reporters paid a visit, the other day, to Hui Liangyu, governor of Anhui Province.     

哪些课程更重要——以某高校计算机专业教师与毕业生评价为例

文章通过对某高校计算机专业教师和本科毕业生的实证研究发现:继续深造和直接就业的毕业生在课程的认识上明显不同,教师认为对毕业生重要的课程与继续深造的毕业生在认识上是正相关的,直接就业的毕业生则与教师在认识上存在较大差异。要使毕业生具有可持续发展能力,专业的课程建设应该做到既立足当前,更面向未来。     

Assessing psychosocial environment in mental health consultation groups

Those of us who work within the field of education are finding ourselves drawn to and mandated to work in groups, such as student study teams. However, most of the theorizing and research on consultation is focused on individual consultation. Yet it is clear that the more we work in groups the more important it becomes for us to understand the dynamics involved in group consultation. The purpose of this study is to examine some of the relevant dynamics in mental health consultation groups.

研究生教育学之学科建设:路径、进展与方向

内在的理论体系与外在的组织建制是学科建设两大重要维度。作为“大科学”时代的新兴学科,研究生教育学应当采取“由外向内”的路径开展学科建设。在四十年的建设过程中,研究生教育学已通过“内外兼修”取得了显著的建设成绩。在组织建制上,形成了国家、省市二级专业学会、高校和第三方组织共同支撑的研究机构、依托自设二级学科搭建的专门人才培养单位以及专门的学术期刊;在理论体系建设上,明晰了研究生教育不同于其他层次教育的特殊性,并在基本理论研究、招考研究、课程与教学研究、质量评价研究以及战略规划研究方面形成了系列重要的研究成果。未来研究生教育学的学科建设应“外聚内观”:进一步汇聚合力,充分发挥各利益相关者的能动性,加强组织建制的建设;进一步以“前沿知识”为逻辑起点加强研究生教育学基本问题研究,推动分支学科的建立和发展,综合运用多种方法研究相关现实问题。

Always growing and learning: A case for self-assessment

Conclusion In conclusion, the entire self-assessment process is dynamic and ongoing. It is challenging and time-consuming, yet most gratifying as educators develop enhanced self-understanding and self-knowledge. The self-assessment process simultaneously enables teachers to touch reality (present focus) as well as to dream (future focus). The self-assessment process allows teachers to take care of themselves. Although the incoming president of the NAEYC appropriately urged participants in the 1994 Professional Development Institute “to look out for each other, take care of each other” (Daniels, 1994), it behooves each one of us to make sure that we take care of ourselves as well. This advice is not intended to be a call for self-centeredness; we do a much better job in our own work with others when we have taken care of ourselves. Continuous personal and professional self-assessment provides that opportunity to take care of ourselves. The kind of renewal that self-assessment provides is “preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have—you” (Covey, 1989, p. 288).     

博尔赫斯的“中国”

对于博尔赫斯而言,“中国”,一如宇宙间所有玄秘事象,有着无穷的魅力,对于中国读者而言,博尔赫斯的文本中国无疑打开了一扇有趣且有益的文字之窗,为我们提供了一个对我们自身文化传统进行了反思的他者视角,同时,也为跨文对话打通了一条有效的文学通道。
