21st Century Love

Women used to drop handkerchiefs as a way of getting men's attention. And... men used to pick them up so they had an excuse to talk to women. That was at the beginning of the last century. At the beginning of this century, it's a completely different world! 你和他/她是如何开始第一次约会的?借书,还是故意掉在地上一块手帕?也许这只是上个世纪初人们恋爱时的一些“小伎俩”,在21世纪初的今天,你的求爱方法还仅仅局限于这些吗?

Language and communication are at theheart of the human experience．The United States must educate students who are linguistically and culturally equipped to communicate suc- cessfully in a pluralistic American society and abroad．This imperative envisions a future in which ALL students will de- velop and maintain profwiency in English and at least ore other language,modern or clasical．Children who come to school from on-English backgrounds should also have oppor- tunities to develop further proficiencies in their first language．Statement of Philosophy Standardsfor Foreign Language Learning

《21st世纪英语报》英语学习者的好帮手

不知不觉间,我在大学教书已有八九个年头了。有时在课堂上,学生们会问我这样的问题：＂什么样的英语简易读物比较易学且贴近现实生活？＂遇到这个问题,我总会毫不犹豫地向学生们推荐21st century English Newspaper。因为我自己就是一个它的big fan。最初,我每期都是到学院的图书资料室去借来看,渐渐的,觉得借来的东西不能画,不能圈圈点点,于是就开始订阅,寒暑假也不间断。     

What to Do With Meaning? A Research Conundrum for the 21st Century

It is difficult to know what to do with meaning. Some kinesiologists, particularly those in the humanities, would argue that it should be given due attention—perhaps even priority attention. Others would argue that meaning is unimportant or simply impossible to study in any objective way. This conundrum can be solved by adopting a new research paradigm, one that places meaning on a level playing field with muscles, cells, genes, and other movement-related phenomena. I argue that we might be in the middle of a Kuhnian paradigm shift. This new way of conceptualizing reality has significant implications, not only for how we do research, but also for how we understand our field. I identify five implications of the new paradigm for kinesiology.     

一项紧迫任务

初中教育是九年义务教育的“压台”部分,但当前又是整个教育诸环节中薄弱的一环。我市市区1986年上学期,在校初中学生人数占同龄青少年的71.18％,在数量上接近普及初中;在质量上通过一系列工作,也逐年在提高,但存在的问题仍很严重,就“双率”来看,要达到普及标准,还相差甚远。首先,初中毕业生成绩合格率低。按原省教育厅     

A Cross Canada Inventory: Evidence of 21st Century Educational Reform in Canada

This paper reports on an initial website review of Ministries of Education, provincial teacher associations and select school jurisdictions across Canada with respect to their publically available and visible policy commitments to 21st century educational reforms. This review was conducted for the purposes of drawing conclusions about the current state of these reform efforts in Canada and, consequently, to provide implications for the future. Through the implementation of thematic analysis findings revealed that the publically available 21st century reform policy of provincial Ministries of Education tended to be best described by one of three frames: the futurist frame, the political frame and the teacher as change agent frame.     

Troubling the concept of the ‘academic profession’ in 21st Century higher education

Concern has been expressed about the vulnerability of the ‘academic profession’ as a consequence of threats from productivism, managerialism and the like (Beck and Young, Br J Sociol Educ 26(2):183–197, 2005). I question the apparent self-understanding of academe as a profession. Referring to thinking from higher education (Barnett, High Educ 40:409–422, 2000a; Educ Phil Theor 32(3):319–326, 2000b; Realizing the University in an age of supercomplexity, 2000c; Stud High Educ 25(3):255–265, 2000d; Lond Rev Educ 2(1):61–73, 2004a; Piper, Are professors professional? The organisation of University examinations, 1994; Taylor 1999), and from the sociology of the professions (in particular Evetts, Int J Sociol Soc Policy 23(4/5):22–35, 2003a; Int Sociol 18(2):395–415 2003b; Curr Sociol 54(1):133–143 2006a; Curr Sociol 54(4):515–531, 2006b), I propose that significant shifts in self-understanding and practice are needed for academe to claim a social role as a ‘profession’.     

Moral Leadership in the 21st Century: Everyone Is Watching—Especially the Students

Educational leaders continually must be vigilant about their actions as they speak volumes about the values that the leader supports. It is impossible for an educational leader to take an action without generating some comment about how things should be done—which by definition is moral action. What's more, everyone is watching—especially the students.

This article explores leadership relationships, interrelationships, and interdependence—and how administrative “moral leadership” rests with the institution's leader. First, it examines the concept of systems thinking to determine how relationships, support structures, and decisions made by school leaders impact the entire school—especially the students and the community at large. Second, it explores and furthers our understanding of moral leadership models by synthesizing concepts in the literature and offers a new paradigm of moral leadership for educational leaders in the 21st century.
