论《虹》和《圣经》的平行叙事结构

<虹>的叙事结构应该和整个<圣经>关于人类堕落与得救的故事相平行,这是因为小说前半部分包含了一个"失乐园"的神化原型.而在小说最主要的后半部分,厄秀拉被塑造成一个女先知的形象.整个小说的结尾是启示式的.这种手法使<虹>成为了英国人的一部现代<圣经>.     

原型批评视角下的《侏罗纪公园》

波特小说中的《圣经》原型

《圣经》在世界文学史上有着极为重要的地位,对西方文化的影响源远流长。当代美国南方文学的重要代表凯瑟琳·安·波特深受《圣经》神话的影响,其小说征引了丰富的《圣经》原型、典故、意象和象征。文章依据诺斯洛普·弗莱的原型批评理论从原型场景、原型人物、原型结构与主题、原型意象和象征等方面分析出现在波特多部中短篇小说中的《圣经》原型,指出她对《圣经》原型有直接引用和间接的创造性＂置换变形＂或＂魔幻变调＂,说明她借助如此多的原型旨在清晰地透视她笔下人物的精神现状和心灵世界,描绘精神生活的多样图景,从而表现她作为小说家对人性、对社会、对个体生命的精神生态乃至整个人类命运的哲理思考。

转型国家和地区的腐败与反腐败现象研究

腐败是一国政治、经济、文化、司法情况的侧面反映。俄罗斯、韩国、台湾等转型国家和地区民主政治发展中腐败放量增加,既有腐败的一般性原因,更有转型期制度约束缺失下政治分权导致腐败切入点分散化、政府主导型市场经济下权力设租和寻租恶性循环、传统政治道德体系解体下公职人员从政心理发生裂变等特定因素的推助。我们必须看到导致腐败的因素会随着问题被暴露以及社会寻求完善的民主与法制而发生改变,民众的民主监督技能也会因民主的教育而大大提高。对于转型国家和地区民主化发展中不断上演的政治腐败和社会动乱,我们不能在一种幸灾乐祸的心态下固步自封,停止民主政治发展的探索,更不能背离民主。需要借鉴当代民主理论的研究成果和民主实践的经验与教训,顺应本国的国情和社会发展的客观需垂正确制定未国臣章政治发展酌方略有莳揭制叔力腐败

Parents and school communities in Japan and Scotland: contrasts in policy and practice in primary schools

In this paper Japanese and Scottish cultural and ideological expectations about the role of parents and communities in schools are examined. Findings from three case studies of a Japanese school, a Scottish school and a group of Japanese parents sending their children to a Scottish school show that there are clear policy differences between the two countries. These differences reflect each country's problems and the purposes of the educational reforms that have been introduced and the different strengths and weaknesses of the two systems. The policy differences in the two systems and how these are translated into practice are examined from the perspective of parents and the wider school community. It is argued that what is missing from the policy and practice context in both countries are the resources to enable teachers, parents and other members of the community to work as equal partners.     

Relationship between affect and achievement in science and mathematics in Malaysia and Singapore

Background : The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) assesses the quality of the teaching and learning of science and mathematics among Grades 4 and 8 students across participating countries.

Purpose : This study explored the relationship between positive affect towards science and mathematics and achievement in science and mathematics among Malaysian and Singaporean Grade 8 students.

Sample : In total, 4466 Malaysia students and 4599 Singaporean students from Grade 8 who participated in TIMSS 2007 were involved in this study.

Design and method : Students’ achievement scores on eight items in the survey instrument that were reported in TIMSS 2007 were used as the dependent variable in the analysis. Students’ scores on four items in the TIMSS 2007 survey instrument pertaining to students’ affect towards science and mathematics together with students’ gender, language spoken at home and parental education were used as the independent variables.

Results : Positive affect towards science and mathematics indicated statistically significant predictive effects on achievement in the two subjects for both Malaysian and Singaporean Grade 8 students. There were statistically significant predictive effects on mathematics achievement for the students’ gender, language spoken at home and parental education for both Malaysian and Singaporean students, with R ² = 0.18 and 0.21, respectively. However, only parental education showed statistically significant predictive effects on science achievement for both countries. For Singapore, language spoken at home also demonstrated statistically significant predictive effects on science achievement, whereas gender did not. For Malaysia, neither gender nor language spoken at home had statistically significant predictive effects on science achievement.

Conclusions : It is important for educators to consider implementing self-concept enhancement intervention programmes by incorporating ‘affect’ components of academic self-concept in order to develop students’ talents and promote academic excellence in science and mathematics.     

Expansion and social selection in education in England and Scotland

This paper examines trends in social class inequalities in young people’s educational attainment and HE entry between the mid‐1980s and the end of the 1990s in England and Scotland. Using time‐series data derived from the Scottish School Leavers Surveys and the England (and Wales) Youth Cohort Study, changes in both absolute and relative social class differences within and across the two countries were analysed through the use of a series of ordered logits. The results show that Scotland has higher educational attainment rates but also higher social class inequalities than England. Moreover, while in England social class inequalities at upper‐secondary and tertiary level have declined over time, in Scotland no evidence of such trend has been found. The conclusions highlight that possible explanations for these patterns reside in the different features of the two education systems and in the remarkable educational success of the Scottish middle class.
