‘It's who you know not what’: migrants' encounters with regimes of skills as misrecognition

This article analyses qualitative narratives from skilled migrants using Bourdieu's concepts of misrecognition, symbolic and social capital to understand the uneven effects of migration transitions on employment outcomes among migrant groups. Transnational skilled migration is increasing to unprecedented levels, especially from non-OECD countries to OECD countries, where inward migration is a strategy to increase the skill level of workforces. Drawing on a qualitative case study of skilled migration to a regional non-metropolitan area of Australia, the article discusses the key finding that ‘It's who you know, not what you know’ which enabled both skilled migrants and their partners to secure employment commensurate with their qualifications and previous employment histories. Building the ‘right’ social networks post-migration were the gateways to securing employment. A ‘regime of skills’ was used by employers, employment agencies and educational providers who acted as gatekeepers to employment opening up opportunities for some or closing down that for others through processes of misrecognition of the migrants' experiences and skills and the prioritising of localised knowledge and native-like English accents. Through this process of misrecognition, the doxa of who should be employed and in what capacity was sustained.

The Application of Theories of Children to Disciplinary Practice

Shortages of middle-level teacher candidates may cause teacher educators to recruit candidates by focusing on what attracts and discourages candidates about teaching at the middle level. The authors used a survey approach (n = 110) to investigate why preservice middle school and high school teachers and in-service middle school teachers chose the middle grades. The results included ten common reasons that the respondents favored the middle grades and ten major concerns about this level. Three attractions to the middle grades—student age, content level, and employment market—and common beliefs about positive teacher-student relationships and students' maturity may guide teacher educators in their efforts to increase middle grades program enrollment.     

基于职业技能竞赛的高职人才培养

职业技能竞赛是我国教育改革的一项制度创新,实现人才培养质量全面提升的重要途径之一.但当下一些院校关注竞赛名次的多、关注竞赛对提升办学质量影响的少,由此产生了只抓少数,忽略多数,没有起到真正对接行业、对接人才培养目标的现象.文章从职业技能竞赛与构建人才培养方案视角入手,探索了“五大模块课程体系”,设计了“六大竞赛项目”,试图全面落实“以赛促教、以赛促学、以赛促改”的竞赛观,改变狭隘的竞赛观,以实现职业技能竞赛制度化、规范化、常态化,真正起到提升办学质量之功效.

Assessing the importance of cultural capital on post-secondary education attendance in Canada

This paper extends the current literature on access to post-secondary education by investigating the role played by various family background characteristics related to the home environment and family habits and behaviours. Exploiting the extraordinary richness of the Youth in Transition Survey in this regard, we include whether the family ate dinner together, whether they discussed current affairs, and how often their children went to concerts – and if so, what kind of concerts. Many of these factors are found to have a significant relationship with attending post-secondary education, university in particular. Furthermore, these factors are in addition to – and at least to some degree independent of – more conventional influences such as parental education and family income. With appeal to the paradigm of ‘cultural capital’ – which refers to the knowledge, experiences, and connections which help individuals succeed in life – these results indicate how advantages in accessing higher levels of education accrue to those from families that are rich in this kind of asset, while others are left behind.     

基于职业技能竞赛的职业能力培养的实证研究——以广东省高职英语专业为例

大力培养学生的综合职业能力是高职教育的宗旨。就学生的职业能力、工作表现、各项职业能力的重要性、提升职业能力的有效方法以及技能竞赛形式等方面,当前广东省100多家企业及其内部刚入职的毕业生和毕业生的职业导师认为,在高职英语专业职业技能竞赛及职业能力培养中存在不少问题。包括学生最缺乏专业技能与沟通能力,职业技能竞赛的普及性和形式都亟待改善等。应该采取将职业技能竞赛纳入高职英语专业职业能力社会评价体系,提高企业的竞赛参与度,改善技能竞赛的形式等具体措施加以应对。     

应用技术型大学教师专业素养问题及提升策略

近些年,由于学科建设与发展的需要,应用技术型大学新引进了不少高学历人才,使其整体科研水平得到了显著提高,取得成绩的同时也产生了一些突出问题,如新任高学历教师教育教学理念陈旧、不注重教学研究、职业技能薄弱、科研与教学脱节以及缺乏对职业技术教育及其发展趋势的关注等方面。针对这些问题,提出了调整政策,加强科研反哺教学,服务国家建设和特殊需求,更新教育理念、推进工程教育专业认证和"新工科"建设等策略,以期提升新任教师的专业素养,实现与学校办学定位和发展目标快速、协调发展。     

Inquiry-based Learning and Digital Libraries in Undergraduate Science Education

The purpose of this paper is twofold: to describe robust rationales for integrating inquiry-based learning into undergraduate science education, and to propose that digital libraries are potentially powerful technological tools that can support inquiry-based learning goals in undergraduate science courses. Overviews of constructivism and situated cognition are provided with regard to how these two theoretical perspectives have influenced current science education reform movements, especially those that involve inquiry-based learning. The role that digital libraries can play in inquiry-based learning environments is discussed. Finally, the importance of alignment among critical pedagogical dimensions of an inquiry-based pedagogical framework is stressed in the paper, and an example of how this can be done is presented using earth science education as a context.

Exploring the educational aspirations–expectations gap in eighth grade students: implications for educational interventions and school reform

Over the past three decades, more and more students are expressing a desire to attend college, yet for many members of disenfranchised groups, this goal is often not attained. While many factors contribute to these disparities, research has shown that students begin adjusting their expectations (what they think they can achieve) for the future in relation to their idealised aspirations (what they would like to achieve). The current study explores this gap among 207 eighth grade students from two urban middle schools. Using the School Attitude Assessment Survey-Revised, three factors were found to predict expectations which matched student aspirations. These factors were academic motivation and self-regulating behaviours, academic self-perception and attitudes towards teachers. Implications for educational interventions and school reform are discussed.
