雅斯贝尔斯的大学自由教育观及其启示

雅斯贝尔斯的大学自由教育思想体现在他的教育哲学中,他详细阐述了大学的理念、大学的精神、大学教育的本质及实施大学教育的途径。在目前因美国华尔街金融人才的自我膨胀和过度贪婪造成全球性的金融危机及我国社会过分商业化,市场价值弥漫到校园,自由教育受到威胁之时,重温雅斯贝尔斯的大学自由教育思想,对提升我国的大学教育具有特别重要的意义：我们要重新认识大学自由教育的意义,注重大学生的人格健全,尤其要培养大学生的责任感、使命感与自由交往意识。

Faculty qualifications and collegiality: The role of influence in university decision-making

Data on 115 colleges and universities are used to examine the effect of the qualifications of the faculty and decentralization of authority on faculty influence over general educational policy and faculty appointments. The findings suggest that university administrators respond to the presence of highly qualified faculties by allowing them to have more influence which is exercised largely through the formally constituted decision-making bodies of the faculty.     

Lasting impressions: Hannah Arendt’s educational legacy

Hannah Arendt’s work is gaining increasing recognition in educational administration. But less has been written about her as an educator, colleague, and provocateur. Here, I explore the lasting impressions that Arendt had on former students, colleagues, and friends. This exploration is conducted through the lens of Arendtian narrative inquiry. For Arendt, narrative is fundamental to understanding lived experience, not least because stories provide us with a deeper understanding of an individual. She maintains, however, that it is the spectator, not the actor, who is better able to assess the ‘who’ of a person. Because each spectator has a particular viewpoint, I include diverse recollections that gathered together, create a silhouette of the ‘who’ of Hannah Arendt. I use the term ‘silhouette,’ purposefully, since this is not an in-depth portrait. Rather, it is an impressionistic account of the lasting effects she made on others. These lasting impressions serve to reaffirm Arendt’s belief in the value of storytelling as a powerful means of understanding.     

当前我国高等教育市场主体的现状、原因及政策建议——民办高校与公办高校比较的视角

当前我国高等教育体系中,主要有公办高校和民办高校两大主体。这两大主体在高等教育体系中的地位是不一样的,这主要表现在以下几个方面：学校数量、在校生数、师资队伍、国家政府的政策支持等方面。与公办高校相比,民办高校在以上几个方面都处于劣势地位。而这归根结底是由于我国政府部门,尤其是教育行政部门对教育的相对垄断所造成的。因此,我们必须在一定程度上进一步打破这种相对的垄断。

Curriculum Mapping in Higher Education: A Vehicle for Collaboration

This qualitative study makes the case for the implementation of curriculum mapping, a procedure that creates a visual representation of curriculum based on real time information, as a way to increase collaboration and collegiality in higher education. Through the use of curriculum mapping, eleven faculty members in a western state university Teacher Licensure program aligned and revised the teacher education curriculum across a sequence of courses. An increase in collaboration and collegiality among faculty emerged as an unintended outcome as a result of participation in the project. Kay Pippin Uchiyama  is currently the Assessment Coordinator for the Poudre School District in Fort Collins, Colorado. During this study, she was an Assistant Professor of Teacher Education at Colorado State University and a co-primary investigator for the Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Data grant. She received her Ph.D. in Instruction and Curriculum in the Content Areas with an emphasis on Teacher Education and Learning to Teach from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Her interests include data driven instruction, assessment for learning, teacher education, professional development schools, and mathematics education. Her email is kuchiyam@psdschools.org. Jean L. Radin  is an adjunct professor at Colorado State University and a co-primary investigator for the Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Data grant.

Changing Patterns in the Middle Management of Higher Education Institutions: The Case of Portugal

Abstact Much of the writing on higher education in recent years has tended to assume that the new management push in higher education is both universal and irreversible. This paper, however, presents evidence from Portugal to challenge that assumption. While elements of the new managerialism are clearly evident in the perceptions and attitudes of academics in charge of the basic academic units (departments/schools and faculties) in the country’s universities and polytechnics, academic management remains faced with a complex, contradictory and conflicting set of demands and expectations which is likely to take a considerable time to resolve.     

国民性视域下的大学教育之思考

国民性是国民在社会生活中表现出来的价值取向,精神世界和行为方式等方面的总和。高等教育对国民性的重塑自然是责无旁贷。大学教育除了可以在课程设置、课程内容上增加通识性和人文性,在学习方法、教授方式上立足自主性和实践性外,大学教育更应该通过创设一种自由的氛围,激活师生的社会责任与使命感,承担起反思和改善社会生活的责任,培养未来社会优秀公民,为社会的变革与国民性改善提供精神上的支撑和行为上的示范。     

“对世界的爱”：阿伦特论爱与世界的关系

＂对世界的爱＂始终是贯穿阿伦特思想的隐秘线索。以非世界性和非政治性为内核的爱与世界的取向之间存在着不可化约的歧异。阿伦特无意清除爱与世界的悖谬,而是将＂对世界的爱＂理解为充分表达人类处境之共同性的公共纽带。通过考察阿伦特对爱的不同形式之分析,友谊和尊重被确认为是通向世界的爱的逻辑,＂对世界的爱＂必须落实到人类的行动能力及友爱的对话之上。

浅析高等教育的公益性

教育是一项社会公益事业,高等教育作为教育的一个重要组成部分,其公益性主要体现在高等教育应该符合国家和社会公共利益。中国的现实国情与高等教育的功能体系决定必须把公益性作为中国高等教育的出发点和落脚点。为确保高等教育的公益性,政府必须加强宏观调控和政策引导,大学自身必须彰显本色和强化责任,同时也亟待社会的积极支持和主动参与。     

Australian social work academics’ perceptions of their teaching roles within higher education

The marketisation of higher education (HE) has created a number of tensions and ideological dilemmas that may influence how academics see their roles and teaching practices. This paper explores how academics in the discipline of social work (who were also in leadership roles) perceive their roles and identities and manage the tensions and dilemmas that arise for them as teachers in the current HE environment. Unless the tensions and dilemmas are articulated, it is not possible to understand and manage their impact on academics. This may lead to the loss of quality learning experiences for students and lower workplace satisfaction. This paper addresses the research question: were there ideological dilemmas experienced by social work academics in the current environment and if so, what subject positions did they adopt in response to these? A discursive psychology approach was used to answer this question. Data showed a range of ideological dilemmas represented by each of the different subject positions adopted. The paper concludes with questions for readers to consider, generating ideas for transferring understanding of these ideological dilemmas into positive action within the workplace.

Oldham’s Moot (1938–1947), the universities and the adult citizen

The influential policy work in education of the intellectual grouping formed by J.H. Oldham during the Second World War known as ‘Oldham’s Moot’ (1938–1947) has been discussed in recent publications. These have noted its general educational and university policy, its intellectual strengths, and the role of Sir Walter Moberly in relation to his chairmanship of the UGC and his The Crisis in the University (1949). Others have placed its thinking in a tradition of Christian medievalism and British intellectual movements. This article focuses on the social theories debated in the group, especially their European roots, their contribution to their discussions on the university and especially the role of adult citizenship in the era of ‘Planning of Freedom’. In particular the authors follow the arguments concerning the integration of adult education in the university reform they envisage.
