Sex education and young people in group homes: balancing risks,rights and resilience in sexual health promotion

This paper presents findings from focus group interviews conducted in Swedish government group homes for young people with a history of psychosocial problems, substance misuse and criminal behaviour. Participants were asked to reflect on a newly developed sex education curriculum located within a harm-reduction paradigm prior to its implementation. In addition to appreciating the proposed 10 sessions, young people positively evaluated the proposed dialogical and norm critical teaching style as likely to facilitate productive discussion about sexuality. Findings will contribute to future implementation of the sex education curriculum across a range of institutional settings. Results also highlight the democratic aspects of involving vulnerable young people in matters that directly concern them, and underline the importance of properly contextualised forms of sex education.

伦敦政治经济学院通识课程设置与启示

通识课程是通识教育得以实施的载体。近年来,随着通识教育越来越受到高校的重视,通识课程也成为高校课程体系的重要组成部分。考察伦敦政治经济学院的人才培养目标、课程体系和设置,对我国商科院校的通识课程建设颇有启示。商科院校在通识课程建设中应围绕学校人才培养目标进行合理规划,突出商科特色;促进通识课程与专业课程相融合;设置综合性通识必修课程;打破重人文轻应用的观念;去除通识课程考核的功利性。     

Mastering humanitarianism? A survey of postgraduate humanitarian courses

Humanitarian events are increasing globally, both in number and intensity. In response, the international community spends approximately US$30 billion annually to alleviate both the immediate consequences of these climatic, geographic, and human-induced events but also to support mitigation and recovery. Over the past two decades, the humanitarian sector has increasingly professionalised. One under-studied aspect of this professionalisation is an increase in postgraduate studies in humanitarian action over the last 20 years. Despite this increase, there is no agreement on core curriculum or pedagogy across humanitarian studies courses. How do current Masters of Humanitarian Assistance (MHA) offerings converge and differ, and how can such courses further their contribution to the humanitarian endeavour? This paper surveys 26 anglophone courses offered in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, and Nigeria, exploring key characteristics of course entry requirements, flexibility, research, practical components, and academic foci. It does not recommend what a core curriculum for humanitarian courses should be, but does argue that core curriculum for humanitarian courses should be identified by relevant and diverse stakeholders such as affected communities, humanitarian agencies, disaster management bodies, and governments, to ensure that courses in this field provide appropriate learning outcomes. The paper suggests how such a ‘charter’ may be developed.

布鲁纳的课程理论：从美妙理想回归现实生活

布鲁纳课程理论的发展经历了由结构课程理论向人本主义课程观的转向。这种转向的原因包括三个方面:社会背景的变化,对学科结构运动的反思以及结构课程理论本身所具有的人本主义倾向。这种转向代表了布鲁纳课程理论从美妙理想向现实生活的回归,它对我国当前的基础教育课程改革者及教育研究者们都具有重要的启发意义:教育改革应结合社会发展;教育应回归生活;教育研究应紧跟时代步伐,与时俱进。     

Environmental education in action: a discursive approach to curriculum design

Why do the designers of environmental education do what they do towards the environment through education? More importantly, how do they account for their design decisions (plans and actions)? Using the theoretical and methodological framework of discourse analysis, we analyse environmental education designers' discourse in terms of the discursive resources—or interpretive repertoires—that they use to (a) make their position, (b) make their talk do work and (c) tell a story about events, situations and who they are (identity). Drawing on observations and interviews from a larger programme concerned with understanding environmentalism and environmental education, we identified five main repertoires: relevance, knowledge transferability and translatability, emotionality, expertise and empiricism. The approach provides us with a more refined characterization of the culture of environmental education curriculum design through the ways designers in the field explain their doings, and we explore the important implications for curriculum design in this field.     

Preparing early childhood educators for global education: the implications of prior learning

This paper outlines the increasing cultural diversity of Australia’s education settings and explicates the global education movement and the new Australian Early Years Learning Framework. It discusses the implication of these factors for early childhood education practice and early childhood teacher education. The key research question considered in this paper is what prior learnings do early childhood educators utilise to consider global education? Data are presented on a research project that explores the prior learning of pre‐service early childhood educators at a major Australian university. The paper shows that, unlike primary and secondary pre‐service teachers, most early childhood education pre‐service teachers have significant professional experiences in educational settings. These prior experiences have a significant impact on pre‐service early childhood educators’ knowledge, beliefs and attitudes in the area of global education and align strongly with the global education curriculum movement and new national curriculum.

Research into the environment of science laboratory classes in australian schools

Existing instruments for assessing student or teacher perceptions of characteristics of actual or preferred classroom psychosocial environment are unsuitable for one of the most important settings in science teaching, namely, the science laboratory class. Consequently, the Science Laboratory Environment Inventory (SLEI), was designed to assess student or teacher perceptions of seven scales:Teacher Supportiveness, Student Cohesiveness, Open-Endedness, Integration, Organization, Rule Clarity andMaterial Environment. An important feature of the design of the study was that the new instrument was field tested simultaneously in six countries: Australia, USA, Canada, England, Nigeria and Israel. This paper is based on a sample of 4643 students in 225 individual laboratory classes, together with the teachers of most of these classes. Preliminary analyses were used to shed light on various important research questions including the differences between Actual and Preferred environments, gender differences in perceptions of Actual and Preferred environment, the relationship between the science laboratory environment and attitude towards science laboratory work, differences between school and university laboratory classes, differences between teachers’ and students’ perceptions of the same laboratory classes, and differences between laboratory classes in different science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology). Specializations: Science education, educational evaluation. Specializations: Curriculum, science education, science laboratory teaching.

什么样的知识结构和知识基础支撑了职业技术教育学的硕士培养--基于研究生必读书目的分析

通过内容分析法和开放式编码对职业技术教育学硕士研究生189本必读书目进行统计分析,概括出8个一级编码领域和48个二级编码领域。结果发现,知识基础中教育类书籍占绝大多数;在非教育领域中,经济和社会科学总论类的书籍占比较多;中文书籍的数量远超外文书籍;各培养单位对该学科中奠基性著作的认识并不统一。知识结构主要涉及职业技术教育原理、职业技术教育课程论、比较职业技术教育及职业技术教育发展改革等,其中原理部分占较大比重,课程与教学、政策研究、学校管理、教师与学生,思想政治教育、德育及研究方法等方面受重视程度不够。教材体系为主的知识呈现形式会给学科发展带来简约化的危险,各学位点应探索建立新的框架来整合职业技术教育学的核心知识,必读书目应摒弃以教育学为绝对主体转而建立更加宽广而深厚的学科基础,同时应及时更新书目、提高国际化程度,显现不同学校的特色化。

The impact of a museum travelling exhibition on middle school teachers and students from rural,low-income homes

Schools may be places of learning, but a great deal of learning occurs outside of school. A growing body of literature investigates how school field trips allow rural students to make real-life connections with their school curriculum. This paper contributes to that area of research by describing how students from five middle schools in the United States responded to a travelling museum exhibition hosted at a non-museum site. The authors explore the impact of the exhibition on students from poor, rural backgrounds, discussing how it helped them to engage with themes such as freedom of expression, democracy, citizenship and Holocaust education. The results show that, by connecting curricular content with real-life situations, field trips such as this have the potential to change not only students’ understanding of the curriculum, but also their teachers’ estimation of their abilities.
