Promoting Self-Awareness: An Undergraduate In-Class Activity and Its Value

Self-awareness is important in social work education because it promotes knowledge, skill, and value development. However, little is written about the ways in which educators facilitate this process. A project was undertaken to design a new self-awareness assignment (SAA) and examine its value. The SAA’s development, which relies on role-plays, is described. Results from an exploratory qualitative study that examined the value of the SAA on 80 undergraduate social work students’ knowledge and skills is presented. The results suggest the SAA is a positive teaching strategy for promoting students’ knowledge and skills development. Implications for social work education are discussed.     

The Software Factory: An Undergraduate Computer Science Curriculum

Industry often complains that current academic curricula fail to address the practical issues of real software development. This paper outlines a proposal for an innovative core curriculum for a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. The proposed core curriculum contains elements of traditional computer science programs combined with software engineering via a team-oriented, hands-on approach to large-scale software development. In addition to traditional lecture/ project/exam courses, students are required to take an eight-semester sequence of ‘Software Factory’ courses. Software Factory courses put the students' newly acquired skills to work in a real software organization staffed and managed by all students in the program. Students from all courses in the Software Factory sequence meet simultaneously to fulfill their roles in the software organization. We expect that the students will be better prepared software engineering practitioners after completing a curriculum that combines traditional courses with practical Software Factory experience.

Evaluating Characteristics of Top and Bottom Performance: Online Versus In-Class

This study compared the characteristics of students who excel (those in the top quarter of their class) and students who merely survive (bottom quarter of class) when attending a course either in-class or online. Student characteristics such as personal attributes (learning styles and gender), individual competence (grade point average), and major (nonquantitative or quantitative) may influence performance differently in each setting. This study shows that low-performing students, who typically need the most guidance in an online course, do in fact have traits that differ from those of low-performing students in-class. Accordingly, it is imperative that instructors develop proper materials and evaluation procedures aimed at helping low-achieving students succeed. However, because online education lacks face-to-face interaction, faculty may not realize that these differences exist.     

“内在于”时代的方式和时代性的精神分裂——从如何看《兄弟》看当下的文学观念

《兄弟》出版后,引发了激烈的批评。本文认为,《兄弟》是以"内在于"时代的方式来表现这个时代的,由此而导致文学与时代之间的关系和距离的调整,以及文学观念的调整。这种调整会引起不适应的反应,也为重新思考文学的一些基本问题提供了契机。     

The Ordering Challenge: An Online Game to Introduce Independent Demand Inventory Concepts

Students are put in the role of a manager who watches inventory levels decrease and must order at the right time and in the right quantity to minimize costs. This interactive game requires the students to race against time and has levels of increasing difficulty. It introduces the students to the concepts of holding cost, ordering cost, backlog cost, the sawtooth curve, reorder point, order quantity, ABC categorization, and continuous review systems. The game is simple and is available free online. An accompanying assignment is designed to guide the student's reflection process while playing the game.

The Business Studies Sandwich Degree: a critique

ABSTRACT

This article examines the case for the sandwich degree as the flagship for undergraduate business education in the UK and uses a range of available, but limited, evidence to show that the history of the practical implementation of the concept is such as to undermine its credibility. The theoretical benefits of the sandwich year are not delivered in practice, especially for students. The costs to students and to the public purse appear to outweigh the alleged benefits. The article uses existing published sources to cast doubt on the wisdom of pursuing the sandwich concept but concludes that available evidence is sketchy and inconclusive. Further research is planned at Bolton Business School to identify the impact of the business studies graduate on the labour market and alternative models for the development of business and personal competencies.

大学:国家精英的加工厂

高等教育大众化的实现,远没有达到教育促进社会公平的目的.即使在标榜民主、平等的西方发达国家,在教育公平的表象下依然存在着教育机构的等级制,而位于等级制塔尖的所谓精英教育机构始终深刻地影响着各国的政治、经济、文化.本文主要探讨法国、英国、美国、日本、德国等西方发达国家在精英教育机构方面存在的异同.     

乐府相关概念辨析

文章辨析了乐府与歌诗、歌行、词曲、民歌、音乐文学几个概念的关系,指出:乐府成为诗名以后,作为朝廷音乐机构表演曲目含义依然保留下来,宋代以前凡称乐府者,一定与朝廷音乐机构有关;歌诗泛指一切有音乐舞蹈表演的诗歌,只有作为朝廷音乐机构表演曲目的歌诗才能称之为乐府;歌行出自乐府但又不等同于乐府,带有音乐性质,但又偏重体裁而言,具有乐府体裁的特点,但又七言非乐府长歌;区分乐府和词主要看句式如何,若是齐言,属于乐府诗,若是长短句,属于曲子词;有些乐府来自民歌,但乐府作为宫廷乐章,不宜再称作民歌,只有少数杂歌谣辞例外;乐府虽与音乐有关,却与音乐文学不相等同,具有音乐形态的乐府属于音乐文学,已经失去音乐形态的拟古乐府和准备获得音乐形态的新题乐府不能视为音乐文学。

后现代主义设计思想对当代玉器设计制作观念的启示

后现代主义设计思想主张传统与现实的对话,在实践方面呈现出多元化、多样性、多品味的特征,这些观念已从许多玉器设计作品中隐约透露出来了。在设计语言多元化、产品形式多样性和注重精神感受的消费时代,既是商品又是文玩的中国玉器应该在传统中寻找根基,并与现实相结合才能有所突破。同时,玉器设计制作,必须以民族文化为根基,用一种现代精神对其进行艺术性的创新表达,才能赋予玉器设计制作以新的时代面貌。
