The Politics,Problems, and Potential Promise of School-Linked Social Services: Insights and New Directions From the Work of William Lowe Boyd

The purpose of this article is to illustrate Professor William L. Boyd's insights into the political ecology of schooling and his contributions and collaboration with others concerned about ensuring the well-being of students, families, and communities. Over his career, Boyd investigated the subtle and complex organizational constraints to school-linked coordinated services, including examining the reasons for the unrelenting resistance of public organizations to change, despite repeated efforts to reform them. We trace the history of the community schools movement and explore the influential, and at times prophetic, scholarly contributions of William L. Boyd to the research and discussion on the effectiveness, challenges, and future promise of this reform strategy. We hope that current and future researchers can learn from and build on his scholarship to develop new pathways to improve the lives of at-risk children.

生涯教育:基础教育不可或缺的领域

从世界基础教育发展的趋势看,基础教育除了使学生学会读、写、算和日常生活所需要的技能之外,还要培养学生学会解决问题和学会实践,增强寻求就业机会的能力和公民意识。在现有的基础教育框架不变的情况下,满足青少年对教育的基本需求,重要的途径是在中小学增加生涯教育课程,对学生进行生涯辅导。生涯教育会使学生在知识的学习与个体自我觉察、社会、工作之间建立起积极的联系,会使学生在丰富知识学习和塑造完美个性的同时增强未来进入社会的适应能力。

School Leaders as Political Strategists: William Boyd's Contributions to our Understanding of the Politics of Leadership

William Boyd's contributions to the education field's understanding of the political nature of school leadership are formidable. In this article, I describe the growth and development, over a roughly 30-year time span, of his key insight that successful school leaders should have the capabilities of a political strategist and that the actualization of this capacity is related to school leaders’ political and policy context. The perennial question of “who governs education” was central to Boyd's work and his various answers are important touchstones for today's educational leaders.     

Retooling American Education: Politics and Policy of U.S. Education Reforms

This paper argues that America's current concern with educational reform arise from a change in social goals. However, while education is seen as having a powerful role, inadequate resources, competing demands and a decentralised system hinder substantive reform. The many reform reports are seen as requiring more critical evaluation.

教育的功能、功用到功效--20世纪西方公共教育政策价值取向的演进逻辑

20世纪以来,西方公共教育制度发生了一系列变革,改革的动力主要来自社会环境的变迁,而并非是教育内部的自觉.本文便试图从教育外在价值的角度,循着西方教育制度变革的生发轨迹,分析在不同时期左右政府政策的主导价值取向的主要理论资源的性质及特点,提出由教育功能、功用到功效构成了20世纪西方公共教育政策价值取向演进的一条基本逻辑线路.     

A Survey of Scholarly Literature Describing the Field of Bioinformatics Education and Bioinformatics Educational Research

Bioinformatics education can be broadly defined as the teaching and learning of the use of computer and information technology, along with mathematical and statistical analysis for gathering, storing, analyzing, interpreting, and integrating data to solve biological problems. The recent surge of genomics, proteomics, and structural biology in the potential advancement of research and development in complex biomedical systems has created a need for an educated workforce in bioinformatics. However, effectively integrating bioinformatics education through formal and informal educational settings has been a challenge due in part to its cross-disciplinary nature. In this article, we seek to provide an overview of the state of bioinformatics education. This article identifies: 1) current approaches of bioinformatics education at the undergraduate and graduate levels; 2) the most common concepts and skills being taught in bioinformatics education; 3) pedagogical approaches and methods of delivery for conveying bioinformatics concepts and skills; and 4) assessment results on the impact of these programs, approaches, and methods in students’ attitudes or learning. Based on these findings, it is our goal to describe the landscape of scholarly work in this area and, as a result, identify opportunities and challenges in bioinformatics education.     

1949—1957年美国对华贸易禁运的差别政策

新中国成立后,美国对华实行贸易禁运。以朝鲜战争为标志,并且和美援相挂钩,迫使盟国实行比巴统还要严格的中国差别的贸易控制政策。后在巴统内盟国的反对下,仍坚持对华差别政策。“中国差别”的实行可使我们从另一个角度来了解美国的对华政策。     

Mature Zionism: Education and the Scholarly Study of Israel

A new approach to Israel education has emerged to counteract what has been a tendency to romanticize Israel by avoiding criticism; it presumes that Israel engagement has much to offer a meaningful Jewish identity, but only when encountered critically, taking into account Israel’s many complexities. However, prevailing scholarly trends may not provide a clear stance on which to base critique and academic criticism may raise hard questions about the very idea of a Jewish and democratic state. This article addresses these concerns by offering a conceptual framework for scholarly study of Israel called “Mature Zionism” in which to ground a critical engagement with Israel that is genuinely educational.

西方社区教育的“生涯性”及其对职业教育的启示

西方社区教育的"生涯性"对于21世纪西方教育的发展有着重要的意义,具有激发民众人性的积极作用,其闪现出的对人性的尊重,对我国职业教育的改革与发展有一定的借鉴意义。目前,我国的职业教育的发展驶入了"快车道",职业教育的"生涯性"对于个人发展的重要性正逐步显现。但总体来看,职业教育在人的全面发展方面所具有的重要作用并没有完全彰显,西方社区教育的"生涯性"特点值得我们学习和借鉴。
