山的注视

正阳光下,它很大,它的石壁,它的褶皱,它的沟壑,它的覆盖着易碎的泥土的缓坡,它的雪崩似的滚滚尘埃。它在光的中心,它像盐像玻璃一样闪亮,它岿然不动,独立于高空之中。它身上一切都是那么坚硬,那么真实。人们可以谈论它,讲述它的故事,探索它的起源,说说住在它上面的人。人们可以计算它的体积,研究它的构成,它的演变。然而这一切又能如何呢?它还是它,不动,不听,不应。人们可以在它身上取一小块石头,带往很远的地方,几千公里吧,或者扔进大海。之后,山依然如故。山是持久的,强大的,它的基石扎根在大地深处,随着人的远离,它始终赫然立于地平线上,继而变得越来越     

走过青春的叛逆

邻居家的小亮,初中毕业没多久,就开始了打工生涯.那天,我在一家网吧门口碰到他,原本那样一个清秀的小男孩,如今把头发染成了金黄色,烫了很夸张的发型.围在他身边的几个男孩,也都叼着香烟,戴着耳环,穿磨破了很多洞的牛仔裤,在女生面前极力摆酷. 小亮偶一回头,目光和我相遇,立刻涨红着脸,叫了声“阿姨”.那一刻的他,刹那间还原了纯真的面目.这些大人眼里所谓的“坏孩子”,正处在青春的叛逆期,为了向世界宣告他们的成长,于是夸张,于是另类,我在心里感叹着,也原谅着,因为,谁的青春不曾叛逆呢?     

让水仙在心头绽放——感悟阅读的美好

有一种美,是徜徉山水,沐浴四季风光,感受春日的和风,夏日的凉阴,秋日的落霞,冬日的暖阳;有一种美,是畅游书海,领略异域风情,一览撒哈拉沙漠的浩瀚,黄土高原的空旷,伦敦大都市的繁华,俄罗斯苹果园的宁静。有一种美,是放飞心灵,洗尽世俗铅华,享受诗人的浪漫,文人的豁达,哲人的思辨,智者的从容。在经济飞速发展的今天,高压力、快节奏的生活,使人难得闲     

春天的颜色

正春悄悄地来了,你知道春天的颜色吗?阳台上,红红的郁金香开了,火红火红的,啊,春天是红色的。果园里,梨花开了,雪白雪白的,啊,春天是白色的。田野里,油菜花开了,金黄金黄的,啊,春天是金色的。     

乡村哲学

<正>在偏远的乡下,随便的一块地里,拔起一根葱,或者挖出一棵荠菜,不用洗,简单收拾一下,就可放在嘴里生吃掉。是的,上面什么也没有。除了一些干透的雨渍,一些风的印痕,一些阳光的温度,最多,有一只不合时宜的虫子。但,都是香的。雨渍是香的,风是香的,阳光是香的,虫子的不合时宜也是香的。那是一种干净的香。偏远的乡村,靠天吃饭,坏的东西是进不来的。包括,那些坏掉了的良心。有一个人跋山涉水,在村子里,终于找到了要找的人。他来赎罪。在那个特殊的年代,他说了不该说的     

从公厕的修建到大粪主义

中国古代,对于人的排泄问题,其实很看重,庄稼一枝花,全靠粪当家,农村的人,一粪一溺,都浪费不得,要肥自家的田。因此,无论马桶也罢,厕所也罢,总而言之最后都要沤了肥田,所谓肥水不落外人田,就是这个意思,如果出门来不及回家方便,粪便掉在别人家地里,无论如何都会有点懊悔,特别敬业的,往往会找个家什捧回来。南方大一点的集镇,也有人建公厕,这种公厕,跟公益无关,属于私人的赢利事业,用来专门收集赶集人的粪便,然后卖给农民。当然,对于赶集的农民,一般都指望不上,但是对于那些走街串巷的艺人、手艺人和商人,却也是个便利。一些坐商,在买卖商品之余,卖点白拣的粪便,也是小补。     

一路走去

携一身久坐斗室的疲惫,他,走了出去,从喧嚣的城市,朝着黄昏中的原野走了出去,仿佛一只快乐的小鸟逃出牢笼。空气,空气是那么的清新,就像雨水洗过,洗过的森林。春泥散发出迷人的体味。植物吐纳出可人的馨香。农家屋顶炊烟袅袅,像一个扭着腰肢走秀的模特。田间小路,劳作一天归家的形影匆匆。屋檐下,夜归的燕子展翅,划出丽影。一路走去,风景,越来越美。一幅偌大的画卷,大自然巧夺天工的画卷,徐徐,在他面前,打开,展开,铺开。他,是幸运的,他破卷而入。美丽的风景让他疲惫渐消。脚步轻快,他踏歌而去。     

故都的秋

秋天,无论在什么地方的秋天,总是好的,可是啊,北国的秋,却来得清,来得静,来得悲凉。江南,秋当然也是有的,但草木凋得慢,空气来得润,天的颜色显得淡,并且又时常多雨而少风。一个人夹在苏州、上海、杭州,或厦门、香港、广州的市民中间,混混沌沌地过去,只能感到一点点清凉,秋的味、秋的色、秋的意境与姿态,总看不饱,尝不透,赏玩不到十足。秋并不是名花,也并不是美酒,那一种半开、半醉的状态,在领略秋的过程上,是不合适的。不逢北国之秋,已将近十余年了。在南方,每年到     

走出课堂,让语言奔跑

正我们知道,我们的孩子,不喜欢读书,不喜欢教室,不喜欢学校的不少。学生的作文干巴巴的,没有生气,没有灵气,没有趣味,像枯萎的花朵,像生锈的铁钉。可怜的母语,可怜的语文,可怜的阅读,可怜的作文,可怜的孩子们。我们知道,孩子们没有学习语文的热情。在孩子们看来,在教室里读书,老师的语言也是干巴巴的,老师不是缺乏热情,老师不是缺乏多媒体的技术,老师缺乏的是自由的心灵,准确地说,老     

我心美丽

秋日的午后,邀上好友,咖啡馆小憩,惬意,悠闲。喜欢这里的感觉。一幢欧式小洋楼,掩映在绿树之间,远远望去,古朴,幽雅。咖啡宣传牌,是用粉笔写的,有种怀旧的老上海的味道。几株绿萝顺着洁白的墙壁悠然垂下,静静地,好像在诉说着它永远也说不完的故事。窗外不远处,是一棵高大的古     

论罗蒂协同性实用主义的反哲学本性

理查德·罗蒂立足后现代主义、解构主义、文化自由主义、相对主义和后哲学文化论,建立的协同性实用主义,批判分析哲学、现象学、传统的认识论、反映论、符合论和真理观,肯定解释学的功能与教化作用,否定客观性、绝对性、永恒性和不变性,反对理性主义、科学主义和实在论,主张解构形而上学,创立无冕哲学,提倡工具主义、约定主义、实用主义、多元主义,以及心灵与社会的协同性作用。

Nanotechnology and Nanoscale Science: Educational challenges

Nanotechnology has been touted as the next ‘industrial revolution’ of our modern age. In order for successful research, development, and social discourses to take place in this field, education research is needed to inform the development of standards, course development, and workforce preparation. In addition, there is a growing need to educate citizens and students about risks, benefits, and social and ethical issues related to nanotechnology. This position paper describes the advancements that have been made in nanoscale science and nanotechnology, and the challenges that exist to educate students and the public about critical nanoscience concepts. This paper reviews the current research on nanotechnology education including curricula, educational programs, informal education, and teacher education. Furthermore, the unique risks, benefits and ethics of these unusual technological applications are described in relation to nanoeducation goals. Finally, we outline needed future research in the areas of nanoscience content, standards and curricula, nanoscience pedagogy, teacher education, and the risks, benefits, and social and ethical dimensions for education in this emerging field.     

哈萨克民族图案纹样解析

哈萨克人的日常生活用品地毯、衣饰、家具、器皿、乐器、马饰等物品上都绘有不同的图案纹样。图案纹样艺术在本质上是一种人的意志和精神的物化。古老的哈萨克民族图案纹样艺术的审美心理结构和纹样形式的形成有赖于历史的生成与积淀,印记、装潢、文字、宗教以及生活方式等成为形成哈萨克图案纹样艺术样式的主要因素。     

Remembering Smithells: Past,Present, Future

In this article, I analyze a set of narratives about, and memorials to, Philip Ashton Smithells, the founder of physical education in New Zealand and a pantheon figure within the discipline. Rather than analyzing these narratives and memorials as stories and artifacts that accurately reconstruct Smithells and his ideas and practices, I conceptualize them as choices that create representations or interpretations that are independent of the truth. I also conceptualize the memorials to Smithells, which include a building, painting, photograph, lecture, and scholarship, as triggers for personal and collective memories. But neither narratives nor memorials can guarantee what individuals or communities remember and, in this sense, history, as representations of the past, is always fluid. Notions of choice and representation may unsettle those who regard history as synonymous with facts and truths and who seek the clarity of a definitive past. However, conceptualizing history as representations reminds us that our understanding of physical education, its origins and its founders, will continually shift with new reflections and as fresh ideas emerge, material conditions change, and events unfold.     

Empowering Dialogues in Humanistic Education

Abstract

In this article I propose a conception of empowering educational dialogue within the framework of humanistic education. It is based on the notions of Humanistic Education and Empowerment, and draws on a large and diverse repertoire of dialogues—from the classical Socratic, Confucian and Talmudic dialogues, to the modern ones associated with the works of Nietzsche, Buber, Korczak, Rogers, Gadamer, Habermas, Freire, Noddings and Levinas. These forms of dialogue—differing in their treatment of and emphasis on the cognitive, affective, moral and existentialist elements—have become more dominant in recent educational discourse and practice—an intellectual phenomenon that calls for a more analytic and reflective elaboration of the essential elements that constitute educational dialogues. Hence it is the purpose of this article to elucidate the distinguishing marks of true dialogues, to set them within the normative discourse of humanistic education and empowerment, and to offer a normative and stipulative conception of empowering educational dialogue that can be utilized in the various intellectual and practical spheres of humanistic education—a paradigm,working definition, and outline for contemporary teachers in their quest to develop their students’ sensibilities and sensitivities, and empower their ability to live complete, autonomous, authentic, moral and dignified human lives.     

Pathways to reading,mathematics, and science: Examining domain-general correlates in young Chinese children

Early competencies in reading, mathematics, and science are associated with later school achievement and adulthood socioeconomic status. This cross-sectional study examined how fundamental domain-general capacities, including language, spatial, and self-regulatory skills, together relate to competencies in reading, mathematics, and science in young Chinese children. A total of 584 Chinese children aged approximately six years were tested individually on their language (receptive vocabulary), spatial (spatial perception, spatial visualization, and mental rotation), and self-regulation (behavioral regulation and working memory) skills, as well as their academic competencies in reading, mathematics, and science. The results showed that vocabulary, spatial, and self-regulatory skills were all associated with Chinese reading, mathematics, and life sciences, whereas only vocabulary was related to earth and physical sciences. The relation between vocabulary and formal mathematics and that between mental rotation and life sciences were found to be stronger in boys than in girls. The findings suggest that foundational domain-general skills may provide the building blocks for children’s academic competencies.     

论关涉人生幸福的教育

幸福是人所追求的生存状态与存在方式,现代意义上的幸福就是一种生活得更好的能力。教育作为一种特殊的生活方式,既要使生活于其中的人感受到幸福,亦要使人获得一种活得更好的能力。因而,幸福是教育的应然追求,关涉人生幸福的教育应超越知识而面对生活与意义,应超越设计而面对境遇与传统,应超越塑造而走向对话式生成,应超越实体而让师生在交往关系中共享幸福,应超越裁定而面向学生的发展。     

劳伦斯与非理性主义

以叔本华、尼采、弗洛伊德为代表的非理性主义是劳伦斯小说创作的思想基础。受叔本华影响,劳伦斯把生存意志作为人物行动的基本动力,这主要表现为向性力和精神占有欲。受尼采影响,劳伦斯赞美躯体,重视生命的内在能量和自我超越性,并与基督教决裂,成为西方基督教道德观的激烈批判者。劳伦斯在性与无意识这两个领域,对弗洛伊德精神分析理论有接受,也有超越。弗洛伊德与劳伦斯都把性、无意识与文明对立起来,但弗洛伊德进行的是否定性研究,强调对其疏导和控制,劳伦斯则认为性与无意识是原初的创造性力量,是生活的源泉,是对抗人之社会化和理性化的正面力量。非理性主义丰富和深化了劳伦斯对现代人心理世界的理解,加强了他的小说的社会批判力量。
