The Role of Epistemic Emotions in Personal Epistemology and Self-Regulated Learning

The purpose of this article is to delineate the role of epistemic emotions in personal epistemology and self-regulated learning (SRL). We first review important tenets of personal epistemology and SRL and then present a model of SRL that situates personal epistemology within that model. We then define epistemic emotions, describe under what conditions epistemic emotions arise, and delineate how these emotions may facilitate or constrain learning processes and learning outcomes. Specifically, we present five antecedents to epistemic emotions and five consequences of those emotions during learning. The five antecedents are control, value, novelty, complexity, and achievement or impasses of epistemic aims. The five consequences are effects on planning and goal setting, motivation, cognitive and metacognitive strategies, learning outcomes, and revisions to antecedents. We end with a discussion of educational implications and future directions for research.

终身学习的发展与教师的角色转换

终身学习的思想尽管已经有几千年的历史，但我们还远没有将这一理念变为现实。终身学习在自身的发展过程中要经历曲“线”上整合到“网”上整合的阶段。实际上，终身学习是在教育民主化与科技发展的孵化下，在传统教育体系的基础上产生的。这一新型教育体系的师生关系是平等、互动的对话关系。在这种关系下，教师也由传统的知识权威变为共同的学习者、学习过程的促进者与批判型的分析者。     

The Role of Positive Emotions in Education: A Neuroscience Perspective

Humans are inherently emotional creatures due to our social nature, and emotions are able to influence how well we learn and even affect academic outcomes. Emotions are rarely a chief concern in educational settings, and we will discuss the mechanisms underlying how emotions are processed in the brain and how they influence the key aspects of learning—attention, memory, and motivation. The brain mechanisms of emotional and cognitive relationships are then detailed in order to provide some context within the modern developments of neuroscience. This will help to clarify the relationship between emotions and cognition, and hope to put forward a theoretical map based on neuroscience that helps us to better understand the pivotal role of emotions in students' cognitive activities and ultimately their performance. Various strategies, based on research findings, aimed at creating more positive learning environments are then put forward.

满纸自怜题素怨片言谁解诉秋心 --浅议林黛玉的感情生活

林黛玉是从封建压迫下觉醒的一个女性.她是有叛逆思想的,但她对自己的价值,对自己的悲剧,认识得并不是很深刻.她的悲剧,是美好感情、高尚理想、一代才华被毁灭的悲剧,代表了那个时代女性的不幸和痛苦.贾府的贵族主子,可以容许肮脏污浊的垃圾存在,就是不准自主婚姻,不许纯真高尚的理想存在,这是林黛玉悲剧极为深刻的社会根源.黛玉短暂的生命及其感情生活,体现了一种崇高的悲剧价值,令人不得不扼腕长叹.

#ThisisanEducationElection: The Changing Role of Media in Education Organizing

In November 2011, a coalition of New York City (NYC) education organizers and advocacy groups launched the PS2013 campaign to place public education at the center of the 2013 mayoral race. Activists developed a complex and situated communications strategy to influence a new space of political engagement, namely mayoral elections. This article is empirically grounded in a qualitative case study of the media strategies of the two-year PS2013 campaign to transform dominant discourse market-based school reform. I document and critically examine a fluid and strategic repertoire of media technologies and tactics deployed by education activists used to communicate with corporate news media, mayoral candidates, as well as their own constituencies and allies. In this way, the paper contributes to the critical scholarship on the role of media in contemporary education organizing against neoliberal education reform.

Challenges for Career Interventions in Changing Contexts

Current social and economic changes have created a challenging context for career counsellors. Within this context counsellors are being asked to view their role from different perspectives. There is recognition of the importance of lifelong guidance and also the need to view guidance from a broader social context with greater emphasis on social responsibility and ethics. New forms of delivery are also emerging. These include an emphasis on client centred and holistic counselling, an affirmation of narrative methods, and a more dynamic counselling approach. Lastly, there is the development of a number of new methods of service delivery. Some examples include one stop counselling centres, virtual counselling services, mentoring, career coaching, and the inclusion of social enterprises as part of the counselling process. The implementation of these changes has implications for training, specialization and for accreditation.     

Transforming Environmental Knowledge Into Behavior: The Mediating Role of Environmental Emotions

The present study was based on the premise that environmental knowledge can drive environmental behavior only if it arouses environmental emotions. Using a structural equations modeling approach, we tested the direct, as well as the indirect (mediated) effects of knowledge on behavior and assessed the mediating role of environmental emotions. We found that knowledge is an important but distal variable, whose significant effect is fully mediated by emotions. The high explanatory power and good fit indices of the model supported and validated the important role of emotions in the learning process.
