Recurring phases of engaging life pursuits: Functionality,intuitive excellence,conceptual understanding,and self‐transcendence as they relate to teacher education

Abstract

Acquiring teaching competence in teacher preparation programs involves the phases of functionality (the technology of teaching), intuitive excellence (the art of teaching), conceptual understanding (the science of teaching), and self‐transcendence (the spiritual aspect of teaching). These phases are recurring as each task involved in the teaching act is undertaken during the life pursuit of teaching competence.     

少年派——惊艳奥斯卡的奇幻漂流

3D技术风行,李安也来赶个时髦。奥斯卡金牌导演李安执导的3D视效大片《少年派的奇幻漂流》,在纽约影展被《时代》杂志盛赞为下一个《阿凡达》。影片在创造视觉奇观的同时也给观众带来巨大的心灵震撼。其讲述的是一名16岁男孩的故事,他和一只老虎同住一艘救生艇,展开横渡太平洋的旅程。"通常我拍片时,不会考虑风格,而是思考角色需要什么。我会贴     

God's antipodean teaching force: An historical exposition on Catholic teaching religious in Australia

From the 1850s to the 1970s the teaching force in Catholic schools in Australia was dominated by priests, female religious and brothers. This paper details the scope of existing research on these teachers, the demands of their religious vocation, their own education, the atmosphere which they established in the schools, leadership opportunities, and the ‘darker side’ of their way of life. Such expositions can promote reflection on the possibility that teaching can be influenced by discourses of ‘vocation’ and ‘the giving of service’, every bit as much as it can be by ‘industrial’ and ‘labour’ perspectives.     

A perpetual motion machine: The preserved digital scholarly record

• Digital preservation will never be a solved problem: it needs constant reinvention, and is going to become harder over time.
• Scholarship is changing and this is affecting what needs to be preserved and what preservation means to the future of knowledge discovery.
• The diversification of outputs means that knowledge exists in a network of contextual metadata, data, software, standards and publications—requiring multilateral management of this complex knowledge graph.
• Preservation demands new skills, technologies and resources from librarians, publishers, funders and institutions—and more joined-up thinking about archiving.
