THE RANGE OF AN AGENDA

The Central Institute for Higher Education of Berlin is introduced and a short history of the institution is given. Founded in 1982, it is an example of a centralized national centre for research on higher education, having had responsibility for higher education research in the whole of the former German Democratic Republic. In order for the Institute to survive in the new, reunited Germany, it has had to change its strategies and the scope of its investigations which will now be arranged around four major fields of investigation. Having acquired great expertise in the study of higher education in the former German Democratic Republic and also having done work on the higher education systems of the other European socialist countries, the Institute is currently well suited to continue its specialization in eastern European higher education affairs and to make very positive contributions in the future.     

THE HISTORY OF AN INNOVATION

This paper is concerned with the processes and thinking that were involved in the development of a highly innovative BEd degree course within the modular course of Oxford Polytechnic. The rationale for the degree course will be considered, followed by a discussion of some of the processes involved in implementing that rationale. The development of a particular basic first year module will be looked at in depth as a case study illustration of innovative teaching, learning and assessment methods, including distance learning, peer teaching, self assessment, group projects, first hand research, analysis of group dynamics and critical enquiry.

THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLES OF EUROPE: BLUEPRINT OF AN INTERNATIONAL PROJECT

This article reviews the Soviet proposal for the establishment of a University of the Peoples of Europe. It outlines the necessary conditions and the arrangements which must be made so that serious planning can get underway. It reiterates the proposed general purposes and objectives of the university and the proposals which have been made with regard to its administrative structure, organization, and working methods. If successfully established, the University of the Peoples of Europe would not only contribute to the solution of all‐European and world problems but would serve as a milestone on the road to European intellectual integration.

AN INVESTIGATION OF THE COGNITIVE CORRELATES OF TEST-WISENESS 1,2

Gibb (1964) defined test-wiseness (TW) as the ability to respond advantageously to multiple-choice items containing extraneous clues and therefore to obtain credit without knowledge of the subject matter being tested. This study investigated TW in a sample of 6th grade pupils. A test instrument was developed utilizing fictitious material similar to the strategy employed by Slakter, Koehler & Hampton (1970). The study examines the cognitive correlates of TW through the interpretation of correlational matrices. The results lend support to the notion that TW is not a general trait, but rather is clue-specific.     

素质教育目的之哲学探微

首先通过对“应试教育”的本质与特征的分析，明确了素质教育的本质，即依据人和社会的实际需要，使全体受教育者的个性得到全面和谐发展的教育实践活动。并进一步探索了素质教育的价值取向，即追求真美美的统一，最后，提出素质教育的目的即实现个性的自由发展。

内蒙古自治区人口问题探析

人口问题与资源、环境、粮食等问题将是２１世纪人类社会面临的主要问题。内蒙古虽然地广人稀,由于沙漠、戈壁等干旱、半干旱面积占总面积的８０％以上,生态环境脆弱,土地承载能力较低,加之区域经济不发达,人口增长导致的社会、环境压力仍很突出。本文对内蒙古的人口问题从人口总量与持续发展,人口性别、年龄、职业、民族构成、人口地区分布等方面作了剖析,进而提出几点对策供有关部门参考     

黑衣壮的审美人类学考察

黑衣壮的艺术、化习俗和他们的现实生活有着密不可分的关系。黑衣壮地区仍然处于自然经济阶段，艰苦的现实生活使黑衣壮人民更加依赖于族群共同体。为在恶劣的自然环境中生存和发展，黑衣壮形成了自己独特的民族传统，如积极维护共同体的利益、实行严格的族内婚制等。这也反映在他们的艺术和化习俗上。黑衣壮的舞蹈和山歌艺术作为一种审美意识形态，集中体现了黑衣壮真实的生存状态和对现实生活苦难的超越。

AN EXAMINATION OF THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE EQUATING OF PARALLEL FORMS IS POPULATION-INDEPENDENT

Linear conversions were developed relating scores on two recent forms of the homogeneous GRE Quantitative Test (GRE-Q) and the specially constituted heterogeneous GRE Verbal-plus-Quantitative Test (GRE-V+Q), using randomly equivalent groups of about 13, 000 taking each form. Specially defined homogeneous subpopulations were then identified, and conversions between scores on the two forms were again calculated, this time based on l000-case samples drawn at random from the subpopulations. Finally, in order to develop empirical measures of equating error, I00 samples of 1, 000 cases each were drawn at random from the two total groups and used to calculate 100 conversions between scores on the two forms. The conversions based on the specially selected subpopulations were then compared with the total-group conversions and evaluated in terms of the empirical standard errors. The results showed that the conversions for the subpopulations agreed with the total-group conversion quite satisfactorily for the GRE-Q and almost as well for the GRE-V+Q. It was concluded that the data clearly support the assumption of population independence for homogeneous tests, but not quite so clearly for heterogeneous tests.
