The Canada Research Chairs Program: the good,the bad,and the ugly

Drawing on 60 qualitative interviews with Canada research chairs (CRCs), we explore their careers in context. We develop a model to understand the intersection of individual and institutional factors that shape the everyday experiences of the CRCs. The model shows the dialectical relationship between faculty identity, research, relations with colleagues and students, and institutional practices and structures. We classify individuals’ experiences as “good,” “bad,” or “ugly.” The interviews show that while a majority of CRCs have a positive experience, others have a negative experience that is prone to becoming ugly when institutional practices and systemic factors impede the work of the CRC. We discuss the perceived problems with the CRC program from the standpoint of Chairholders, and the implications of our findings for the CRC program and universities. As well, we propose that additional research on the professoriate is needed to determine whether or not the model from our study is generalizable beyond our sample.

The good, the bad and the ugly: teachers' perception of quality in fiction for adolescent readers

Recent years have seen a great development in fiction written for the adolescent market‐teenage fiction. This article seeks to explore the notion of quality in teenage fiction building on earlier research by Whitehead (1977), Hall and Coles (1999), and Benton (1995a) and using findings from interviews with teachers in secondary schools in the South West of England in 2003 and 2004, the first phase in a study into perceptions of quality in teenage fiction. Questions are raised about whether English teachers have sufficient knowledge of this genre of literature to support pleasure and progress in reading for adolescents and also whether teenage fiction should be more directly addressed in the curriculum perhaps through a school canon, which may apply educational criteria to define a body of literature that begins where the child is, but allows for clear progression in reading.     

The good,the bad and the wiki: Evaluating student‐generated content for collaborative learning

This paper explores the potential for wiki‐type open architecture software to promote and support collaborative learning through the use of student‐created content. It delineates some of the affordances and constraints of wiki software as an open architecture that has the potential to facilitate collaborative learning through community‐focused enquiry. It seeks to promote debate in this key area of development, and highlights some recent key contributions to the developing discourse on social software in what has been termed ‘the architecture of participation’.     

人性的丑恶与升华——试论鬼子小说

人性是个永恒的话题。从人类诞生以后的很长的岁月里,一直在探问这个话题。鬼子在文本创作过程中,怀着强烈的忧患意识,以底层人物为叙写对象,以一种极为冷静的心态,通过对人物生存困境以及人物心理的书写,时刻关注着小人物的生存历程和命运轨迹,揭示了现实中表现出来的种种不合理,而这却成为了作家对人性的挖掘依据,透视着人性的丑恶与升华。     

Engaging students through new literacies: the good, bad and curriculum of visual essays

In this article, we share our experiences working with students to read and/or write visual essays, texts that rely more heavily on images with minimal print text. We explore how students consider elements of design as they create a visual essay, which entails new forms of semiotic processing of the combinations of the visual, audio, textual, gestural and spatial. In particular, we share a case study of how one adolescent engages with an alternative to the standard essay format when he is not restricted by the use of words alone, but is encouraged to tap into the affordances of digital media, expressing himself multimodally by using words, images and sound.     

巧克力有益于心脏

在“棒棒棒,你真棒”现象的背后——对教育实践中表扬运用的多视角透析

从新课程改革实施以来,我国教育界积极倡导激励式评价。但在教育实践中,人们把激励式评价等同于表扬,而表扬就是课堂上是响彻一片的“棒棒棒,你真棒”声。这种对表扬和激励式评价的庸俗化理解根本达不到对学生应有的激励作用。针对这一现状,本文从行为主义心理学、社会认知理论和教育评价学等多个视角透析在教育实践中应该如何正确的运用表扬,使表扬真正发挥在教育实践中的重要作用,真正持久地激励学生。     

一条班规的诞生——再谈养成教育中艺术化的“法治”

在我班的《班规》中有一条关于喝水的规定：在教室只能用自己的水杯喝纯净水,禁止在教室喝饮料和用各种饮料瓶子喝水。 不要小看这条简单的班规,它的诞生还颇费周折。如今,各式各样的瓶装饮料广受学生欢迎。这不仅不利于学生的身体发育,而且造成了极大浪费。更让人恼火的是,饮料瓶子的随意摆放抛掷严重影响了教室的整洁。
