小批量采编图书好

<正> 由于种种原因,近年来我馆采购的图书,有的批数数量较大,给分编加工工作造成了一些麻烦和弊端:1.在分编室堆积的书又多又拥挤,使分编加工的摊子铺得宽,如果分编室面积不大,矛盾就更突出,结果干什么事都碍手碍脚,在分编加工的环节中,查找复本麻烦、困难,搬来搬去,费工费时.2.移交清点图书计算统计帐目费时费工,且易出错,错了以后复查起来更是麻烦.3.在分编图书时,会给利用统编卡片造成麻烦.4.查重时,因批量大,往往不易将多     

Investigating pre-service teachers’ acceptance of Web 2.0 technologies in their future teaching: a Chinese perspective

In recent years, there has been an exponential growth of the explorations around the pedagogical use of Web 2.0 technologies in China. This study offers an alternate perspective by examining predictors of pre-service teachers’ uptake of Web 2.0 technologies for teaching purposes. On the basis of prior related research focusing on the pedagogical use of ICT, an eight-factor research model was hypothesised. Data were collected from two universities in China through a questionnaire (N?=?464). Structural equation modelling analysis results suggested that perceived usefulness, perceive enjoyment, subjective norm, technological pedagogical and content knowledge, and facilitating conditions had statistically significant direct effects on intention to use Web 2.0 technologies. The findings can help stakeholders in China (e.g. teacher educators, school leaders, and education policy makers) develop a better understanding of the realities of teachers’ pedagogical use Web 2.0 technologies in China.

强化公共产品意识 推进教育事业发展

按照公共经济学的理论,我们可以依据是否具有完全非竞争性和非排他性这两大特征,将公共产品分为两类,即纯公共产品和准公共产品。教育是一种公共产品,根据其服务和提供的不同特点,我们把义务教育归为纯公共产品,把非义务教育归为准公共产品。为此,我们必须树立和强化教育的公共产品意识,明确政府职责,坚持以政府投入为主,鼓励和扶持社会的多元化投入,推动教育事业健康发展,努力办好让人民群众满意的教育。

Parental Authoritarian Control and Cognitive Complexity

Studies on the conceptual system proposed by Harvey et aJ (1961) suggested that the concrete mode of cognitive functioning is associated with certain developmental factors such as restricted exploration of the environment, overcontrol by parents, avoidance of uncertainty, conformity to external superimposed norms, and discouragement of independence, etc. Using the framework of Harvey, Schroder et al (1967) specified two types of training methods, one of which he called the deductive method. Parents adopting this method provide the child with ready made and fixed rules. The child is taught to avoid uncertainty by looking externally for rules. The variety of perceptions and responses available to the child is highly restricted. The environment is so structured that it is unrealistically oversimplified. Schroder et al believe that this type of training method would bring out a cognitive structure which is characterized by compartmentalization and inability to think in terms of degrees or relativeness.
