生命意识:教育的基本命题

生命意识是对教师职业的基本要求,新课程的推行使之在久被遮蔽中得以澄明。教师应当敬畏生命、尊重生命、珍爱生命、欣赏生命、开掘生命和体验生命,养成一种丰沛恒久的生命情怀。在教育教学中,教师应从尊重生命、节约生命、让生命开花三个递升的层面彰显生命意识。     

Introduction: Commercialization of Academic Science and a New Agenda for Science Education

Certain segments of science are becoming increasingly commercialized. This article discusses the commercialization of academic science and its impact on various aspects of science. It also aims to provide an introduction to the articles in this special issue. I briefly describe the major factors that led to this phenomenon, situate it in the context of the changing social regime of science and give a thumbnail sketch of its costs and benefits. I close with a general discussion of how the topic of commercialization of academic science is relevant to science education.     

科学学的发展与命题

科学是研究客观世界的知识和方法论体系,以科学本身作为研究对象的学科一般称为科学学.其核心命题是想说明科学是什么,科学发展的规律怎样.从学科建制的标准看,科学学产生于二十世纪二三十年代,从科学学研究的命题看,科学学的思想可以追溯到古希腊时期.     

Reforming Science Education: Part I. The Search for a Philosophy of Science Education

The call for reforms in science education has been ongoing for a century, with new movements and approaches continuously reshaping the identity and values of the discipline. The HPS movement has an equally long history and taken part in the debates defining its purpose and revising curriculum. Its limited success, however, is due not only to competition with alternative visions and paradigms (e.g. STS, multi-culturalism, constructivism, traditionalism) which deadlock implementation, and which have led to conflicting meanings of scientific literacy, but the inability to rise above the debate. At issue is a fundamental problem plaguing science education at the school level, one it shares with education in general. It is my contention that it requires a guiding “metatheory” of education that can appropriately distance itself from the dual dependencies of metatheories in psychology and the demands of socialization—especially as articulated in most common conceptions of scientific literacy tied to citizenship. I offer as a suggestion Egan’s cultural-linguistic theory as a metatheory to help resolve the impasse. I hope to make reformers familiar with his important ideas in general and more specifically, to show how they can complement HPS rationales and reinforce the work of those researchers who have emphasized the value of narrative in learning science. This will be elaborated in Part II of a supplemental paper to the present one. As a prerequisite to presenting Egan’s metatheory I first raise the issue of the need for a conceptual shift back to philosophy of education within the discipline, and thereto, on developing and demarcating true educational theories (essentially neglected since Hirst). In the same vein it is suggested a new research field should be opened with the express purpose of developing a discipline-specific “philosophy of science education” (largely neglected since Dewey) which could in addition serve to reinforce science education’s growing sense of academic autonomy and independence from socio-economic demands.

Science Education for Citizenship and a Sustainable Future

In this article Jerry Wellington argues very strongly in favour of the role of science in citizenship education. He emphasizes the need for knowledge, skills and action and suggests areas and ways in which pupils can be engaged in the struggle for a sustainable future where interdependence and interconnectedness mesh well with notions of equity and justice.     

外来民工子女就学:一个不仅只属于城市教育范畴的话题

外来民工的到来，有效缓解了城市经济发展与劳动力后备资源不足的矛盾，同时也带给全国城市300万人以上的义务教育学龄人口。在发达国家工业化的早期，农民进城后迅速转化成为了产业工人。而在当今中国，农民进城后受到种种限制、缺乏知识技能，很难尽快转变成产业工人主力，很难迅速融入城市生活，还因行政区划、地域壁垒、国统指标及其由此诱发的政绩驱动行为，使其子女不能接受基本的义务教育。对此，我们百思不得其解：外来民工劳作于全国的城市、为所在的城市贡献 GDP 和纳税。本来有权享受国民待遇，为什么还要再承担一份额外的教育收费；本是合法公民，本已成为新一代城市移民，为什么在自己祖国失去受教育权?     

为多元文化社会培养教师:美国教师教育历久弥新的主题

如何为适应中小学课堂的文化多样性、实现教育平等和社会正义而培养合格教师,是当代美国多元文化教师教育研究的核心议题,诸如招收更多具有多元文化背景的师范生、丰富多元文化教师教育课程体系、增加教育实践场所的文化多样性以及教师教育者自觉示范等实践创新亦蔚然成风.面对多元文化教师教育发展中的困难,研究者呼吁组织、课程和个人等多层面的变革,开展高水平合作研究,建设多元文化教师教育学科.     

教育选择:一个不容回避的教育命题

教育是人为的存在,在可为、能为、允许为的条件下,人怎样为,教育就怎样存在。在现实的教育实践中,教育的人为实际上就是教育操作者不间断地进行选择,教育的实际运行状态正是这种持续选择的结果。在历史的限度内,有什么样的教育选择,就会有什么样的教育。

生命教育:21世纪大学教育的重要课题

大学教育不仅仅是培养专业技术出众的人才,更应培养精神生命健全的人,也就是说,大学教育应担负起“接受知识,开启智慧,润泽生命”的使命,可见生命教育是大学教育应有之义,他在大学生精神成人的过程中扮演了,重要角色,生命教育理应成为21C大学教育的一个重要研究课题。     

审美教育:高校德育的重要课题

审美教育与德育是同一层次上并列的两种教育形态，是人格完善的两个必要方面，两之间在目标上具有明显的一致性。因此，在高校德育中把审美教育提到应有的高度，具有十分重要的理论和现实意义。充分发挥美育在大学德育中的重要作用，应着重从提高美育地位，丰富美育内容，拓展美育空间，提高教师素质几方面展开。
