走向智慧教育观的新境界:怀特海智慧教育观的审视与超越

怀特海率先张扬的孕育于古希腊的智慧教育观,颠覆了现代知识教育观的统治地位,构成了智慧教育观迄今仍被奉为圭臬的经典形态。该智慧教育观尽管以其对教育目的深刻洞察、对知识教育向智慧教育转化必要性的透彻分析、对智慧教育运用知识方法的精辟揭示、对智慧教育同生活整体内在统一性的精当提炼、对智慧教育节奏和周期的勾勒等内容,对教育哲学和与教育实践产生了深刻影响,但却存在着智慧观缺乏彻底性、知识观基础缺乏批判性、德性取向缺场、超主体性意识欠发育等诸多仍被学界所盲视的缺陷。使其由唯主体性取向向主体性取向与超主体性取向相融通的综合取向提升、由直接运用知识取向向基于健全图式运用知识取向演进、由认识论能力论取向向生存状态论取向演进、知识观基础由前批判性取向向批判性取向转变、智慧观基础由非批判性形态向批判性形态提升、德性属性由德性取向缺场向德性取向在场转变等改进举措,能有效消解其上述缺陷,有助于当下学界关于智慧教育观的认知提升到新的境界。

Moral Education in a Plural Society: Malaysia

Abstract

Moral education is being phased into the state‐approved curriculum in Malaysia and is designed for non‐Muslim pupils in the school population.

This paper gives an account of the processes involved in the evolution of the moral education programme, while commenting on issues that impinge most centrally upon it.

Knowing when to Retire: The First Step Towards Financial Planning in Malaysia

This article draws upon expected retirement age cohorts as a main determinant to financial planning preparation in Malaysia. The return rate was 55% from 600 questionnaires distributed. Five hypotheses were analyzed using hierarchical and stepwise regression analysis. The results revealed that expected retirement age cohort variables made significant contribution to financial planning preparation as well as personal orientation towards retirement planning, particularly the younger age cohort. There is an effect on personal orientation towards retirement planning. No significant effect was found between expected retirement age cohort and current financial resources, but older age cohorts were relatively more significant predictors.     

Changes and Challenges: A 20/20 Vision of 2020

The Delphine Hanna lecture is a memorial to the contributions and vision of a great leader. It is a tribute time-out, a moment in time when we stop what we are doing to look back thankfully and to commemorate her life. It is also an opportune moment to consider what we have made of her legacy today and to look forward to the world that awaits future generations of professionals in our fi eld. Never before has there been such a need for clear 20/20 vision. As we look ahead to the year 2020, future scenarios for our fi eld are as diverse as our disciplinary bases. To sharpen our focus, we can draw upon scenario-planning methodologies used with some success in the business sector, where survival is premised upon accuracy.     

Online Distance Education at the Universiti Sains Malaysia,Malaysia: Preliminary Perceptions

Availability of technology is no longer an issue, but in view of the promise of distance education and the development of electronic communication and network, the distance learning programme at the Universiti Sains Malaysia is directing its virtual multimedia course delivery via online education. The instructional design aspects of a multimedia course topic are presented. The results of a preliminary perceptions towards online education in distance learning conducted at the recent launching of online education in USM revealed that students perception is still focused on accessibility and presentation rather than pedagogical techniques and interactivity.

L'éducation à distance en ligne à l'Universiti Sains Malaysia :Perceptions preliminairs

La disponibilité de la technologie n'est plus un problème mais devant les promesses de l'éducation à distance et le développement des réseaux électroniques de communications, le programme d'enseignement à distance de l'Université Sains Malaysia oriente ses cours virtuels multimédia via l'éducation en ligne. Cet article présente les aspects de l'élaboration éducative d'un sujet du cours multi-media. Les résultats des perceptions préliminaires vers l'éducation en ligne dans l'enseignement à distance conduit lors du lancement du « on-line education » dans l'USM a révelé que la perception des étudiants est toujours concentrée sur l'accessibilité et la présentation plutôt que sur les techniques pédagogiques et l'interactivité.

Online Fernstudien an der Universität Sains Malaysia, Malaysia: Vorläufige Auffassungen

Verfügbarkeit von Technik ist heute kein Thema mehr. Im Hinblick auf die Aussichten von Fernstudien und der Entwicklung elektronischer Kommunikation und Netzwerken führt die Universität Sains Malaysia die Zulieferung ihrer Fernstudienprogramme mit virtuellem Multimediamaterial online durch. Die Gesichtspunkte für ein Multimediakurs-Thema werden dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse einer vorläufigen Meinungsbildung in Richtung Online-Unterweisung im Rahmen der kürzlich erfolgten Einrichtung von Online Education in USM offenbarte, dass im Zentrum der Wahrnehmung der Studenten immer noch mehr der Zugang und die Darstellung denn die pädagogischen Techniken und möglichen Interaktivitäten stehen.     

2020 Vision: Envisioning a new generation of STEM learning research

In this issue, we have compiled six original papers, outcomes from the U.S. National Science Foundation (US-NSF)-funded REESE (Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering) 2020 Vision: The Next Generation of STEM Learning Research project. The purpose of 2020 Vision was to re-envision the questions and frameworks guiding STEM research in the twenty-first century, given that notions of learning have changed significantly in the last decade. The papers present diverse research principles that emerged from an initial 2020 Vision conference at Oregon State University (OSU), were then vetted more broadly with the science education community nationally and internationally, and presented in a public 2020 Vision symposium series also at OSU. Individually and as a group, these papers argue that if STEM learning is lifelong, life-wide and life-deep, research designs need to cut across the diverse settings and investigate the multiple contexts and media in which learners live and interact. Authors call for research paradigms that holistically reflect questions of the “what, when, where, why, how and with whom” of STEM learning. Associated Forum papers respond and expand the conversation by critically examining the recommended research principles and in some cases, challenging both authors and editors to think even more broadly. Two Key Contributor pieces highlight the contributions of researchers who have helped to push on these research boundaries, advancing science education research nationally and internationally. A final synthesis paper, a case study of research being conducted in a diverse, under-resourced community in Portland, Oregon provides one example of how the 2020 Vision research principles might be integrated into a comprehensive STEM learning research study.

“爱欲”视野中的公民教育

"厄洛斯(eros)"是古典政治哲学和教育哲学的主题与内核.爱欲意味着人对美善本身以及与此内在相关的灵魂不朽的执着追求.不过,人的生命不是神的生命,它是可朽的,人若想实现不朽,就必须通过教育,与他人的灵魂结合在一起.正是出于这种对美善的爱,苏格拉底把教化优秀青年,使其卓越,看作是自己的神圣使命,而他自己也在这样的教化中实现了自己的灵魂不朽.

马来西亚私立高等教育国际化论析

从20世纪80年代开始,马来西亚政府就适时调整了私立高等教育发展政策。在政府的支持与引导下,私立院校通过学分转移、双联课程和邀请外国大学设立分校的方式,不断对教育实践的国际化进行探索,并先后经历了“请进来”和“走出去”两个时期。目前,马来西亚私立高等教育国际化进程不断加快,已经成为亚太地区重要的教育输出国。     

Education and the State: Malaysia after the NEP

This article examines the relationship between educational development and the role of the State in Malaysia. The focus is on the major shift in educational policies towards democratisation, decentralisation and privatisation of the Malaysian education system in the post-NEP (New Economic Policy) era. The article argues that the nature of the State has changed over historical periods depending on the condensation of power among the competing groups in this multi-ethnic society. The recent political developments in Malaysia show the emergence in the 1990s of a “developmental State” which perceives education as a means of human resource development as it strives towards rapid urbanisation, industrialisation and globalisation of the Malaysian economy.
