Introduction to the Systems Approach at University

Society requires that the engineer is thoroughly immersed in his field of technology at the time of graduation, even if such specialisation is necessarily narrow. In order to provide him with broader skills and with a background that does not swiftly become outdated, a set of systems subjects (systems theory, control engineering, etc.) is recommended as part of his curriculum. These subjects have a lasting relevance to practical application and can be combined successfully with studies of any kind of technology. There does not seem to be much space for a wide interdisciplinarity in the basic engineering exam, but since many engineers are involved with interdisciplinary problems in industry, a multidisciplinary team consisting of graduates of differing backgrounds provides efficient later training which may be supported by supplementary education given by non-academic institutions. Scientific, interdisciplinary research in universities is found to be especially fruitful, and experiences of a related research project are summarised as an example.

开放教育模式下法学教师应具备的基本素质探析

中央电大的“人才培养模式改革和开放教育试点”，对法学专业人才培养的目标有了更高的要求，并且在教育手段、教育技术上与传统的电大教学有了很大不同，相对应的是对我们广大法学教师在综合素质上有了更高的要求。本文主要运用教育学、心理学的有关原理，重点对开放教育模式下法学教师的实践素质、驾驭网络技术进行导学的素质等进行了分析。     

History at the Open University

Abstract

Conventional assumptions about how children should be brought up seem no longer tenable in the face of recent trends. Yet policy makers and professionals as well as parents of young children must establish criteria for judging the boundaries of adequacy. Identifying children's needs is one commonly used strategy, which appears both objective and authoritative. But this is deceptive. ‘Need’ statements project decision criteria on to children, and disguise complex implicit assumptions. Four different bases for identifying children's needs can be distinguished. They can be thought of as reflecting: basic qualities of human nature; prerequisites for mental health; processes of cultural adaptation; or conformity with dominant social values. A more explicit specification of the empirical and evaluative basis of judgments about early child rearing is called for.     

浅论教育的素质

分析了我们的素质教育这个词语，它隐藏的同义反复毛病及其在实践上的模糊性；之后，推荐使用另外一个词语，教育的素质。文章认为，新词所关注的，显然就是提高教育质量的核心问题。全文的要旨在于说明，欲使我们的教育质量提高，首先要从影响特别是主导教育的群体自身开始，即改进教育的素质。这是提高教育质量进而提高全民族素质的关键。     

Conjecture Mapping: An Approach to Systematic Educational Design Research

Design research is strongly associated with the learning sciences community, and in the 2 decades since its conception it has become broadly accepted. Yet within and without the learning sciences there remains confusion about how to do design research, with most scholarship on the approach describing what it is rather than how to do it. This article describes a technique for mapping conjectures through a learning environment design, distinguishing conjectures about how the design should function from theoretical conjectures that explain how that function produces intended outcomes.     

论质量对大学权力的契约约束

大学权力与质量之间的契约关联,赋予了大学行政与学术的责任承担,确认了大学权力不是一种权利福利而是一种质量义务。一般而言,完善的契约约束是大学质量持续提高的制度保障。为此,大学应该不断加大权力资源投入,合理配置大学决策权力和行政权力,不断完善权力契约机制,以质量特色和机制活力确保高等教育质量稳步提升。     

The Problem of Sophomoritis: An Educational Proposal

Abstract

‘Sophomoritis’ is identified as a period of adolescent development concerned primarily with raising all kinds of moral questions but also doubting all answers. It is suggested that this questioning often manifests itself in the form of uncritical relativism and naive egoism, and that it is potentially dangerous in that it is elevated to the status of an absolute external moral authority instead of a means to restructuring a new form of moral judgment. Criticism is leveled at educational institutions for implicitly supporting sophomoritis, particularly through ‘Introductory Ethics’ courses. A proposal is made for a course which instead utilizes the students’ natural development, together with the conceptual perspectives of moral philosophy, to stimulate development towards a principled form of moral autonomy.
