我国大型体育馆电子服务系统构建模式的研究

通过文献资料法、参观考察法、专家访问法、归纳演绎法、实证法及总结评估法等综合研究方法对我国40座大型体育馆电子服务系统GESS构建模式进行研究。根据国内大型体育馆GESS的现状并结合国际现代化建筑及体育馆建筑发展的趋势，同时考虑中国国情，论文提出现代化大型体育馆GESS构建模式为：体育馆系统集成中心（GSIC）利用体育馆综合布线系统（GPDS）连接和控制体育馆建筑设备自动化系统（GBA）、体育馆办公自动化系统（GOA）、体育馆通信自动化系统（GCA），最大限度地实现现代化体育馆的智能需求。研究还提出了建设现代化大型体育馆GESS实施的策略以及建设中应遵循的原则。     

Constructivisms and Relativisms: A Shopper‘s Guide

Diverse forms of constructivism can be found in the literature today. They exhibit a commonality regarding certain classical positions that they oppose - a unity in their negative identities - but a sometimes wild multiplicity and incompatibility regarding the positive proposals that they put forward. In particular, some constructivisms propose an epistemological idealism, with a concomitant relativism, while others are explicitly opposed to such positions, and move in multifarious different directions. This is a potentially confusing situation, and has resulted in some critics branding all constructivisms with the charge of relativism, and throwing out the baby with the bath water. In addition, since the epistemological foundations of even non-relativist constructivisms are not as familiar as the classical positions, there is a risk of mis-interpretation of constructivisms and their consequences, even by some who endorse them, not to mention those who criticize. Because I urge that some version of constructivism is an epistemological necessity, this situation strikes me as seriously unfortunate for philosophy, and potentially dangerous for the practice of education.     

Alternative technologies and social studies textbooks

In order to determine the potential of alternative technologies in social studies education, we must understand the goals of such education, the capabilities of the technologies, and teachers’ and students’ responses to new technologies. The author suggests that the new technologies can contribute to the goals of learning about the past, learning about democratic life and institutions, and making students knowledgeable as consumers and producers of information. One major obstacle is a lack of time and money for teachers to experiment with the technologies. Stephen T. Kerr is professor of education in the College of Education at the University of Washington. His research focuses on the application of new technologies in schools and other educational environments, and particularly on the ways in which technology affects the social structure (roles and expectations, instructional patterns, organization) of those institutions. He has done work on human-computer interaction, as well as on how new communication technologies have changed the educational system of the former USSR.
