社会公平正义实现路径的学理探讨与实践策略——以“多渠道增加居民财产性收入”为例

实现社会公平正义是一个世界性难题,“多渠道增加居民财产性收入”是解决这一难题的路径之一.在学理上,对“多渠道增加居民财产性收入”进行合法性论证,要分析个人“拥有财产性收入”是否背离科学社会主义理论,它要求研究者正确区分“私有制”与“私有财产”,让劳动者实现对生产资料与劳动产品的真正占有;在实践中,研究“多渠道增加居民财产性收入”的策略,要分析如何构建增加居民财产性收入制度体系,它要求政府部门健全财产权保护法律体系,完善《刑法》、《民法》和《物权法》中关于财产权保护的条款;推进增加居民财产性收入的制度创新,不断完善有关居民工资收入转化为财产的相关制度与政策,不断健全关于市场经济活动高效运行的制度和政策,推动市场经济公平交易、风险防范、价格形成等领域的制度建设与优化,推动多种方式、多种途径财产性运作的制度建设与健全;拓展增加居民财产性收入的投资渠道.

Self‐perception of gifts and talents among adults in a longitudinal study of academically talented high‐school graduates

Definitions of giftedness and self‐perceptions of abilities were examined among adults who have been participating in a longitudinal study of academically talented students since their high‐school graduation in 1988. For the present study, participants answered open‐ended questions and completed scales measuring adult giftedness and adult self‐perceptions of abilities in 12 different domains. Gender differences in perceptions were examined. When participants were asked if they believed they were gifted in high school and now, more men than women responded affirmatively to both questions. Further, significant gender differences were identified for perceived competencies in four areas: job competence, nurturance, athletic competence, and morality. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.     

Criticality and connoisseurship in arts education: pedagogy,practice and ‘Pinterest©’

ABSTRACT

In time-poor and pressured teaching environments, some classroom teachers look for immediate and simple solutions to resourcing their arts teaching. Online platforms, such as Pinterest, seem to offer ready-made answers for these teachers, however, a lack of criticality can underscore the unexamined ‘advantages’ of such accessible resources. Accessibility and lack of confidence for time poor teachers are two key issues in understanding why teachers prefer online platforms for the sourcing of arts teaching resources rather than curriculum documents written for them by ‘curriculum experts’. Critically competent curriculum decisions require informed knowing about value and how the decision impacts on practice and student learning and in this way criticality and connoisseurship are important capabilities that constantly need to be strengthened in a digitally mediated world. Combined in an arts context and drawing on interviews with 16 classroom teachers, criticality and connoisseurship are two key concepts used to highlight the systemic issues of context, value and pedagogy that impact on teacher’s practice. Suggestions for increasing teachers’ criticality and connoisseurship are explored as important pathways for improving arts learning for young people.     

Older Adult Participation in Health Promotion Programs: Perspectives of Facility Administrators

Administrators of older adult-centered facilities must identify barriers to the planning and implementation of health promotion programs. In this qualitative research those barriers were identified through in-depth interviews with administrators of older adult-centered facilities. As identified by administrators, the predominant barriers to the participation of older adults in health promotion programs were scheduling conflicts, physical and mental health issues, a lack of comfort with the health content, and insufficient program information.     

Dancing in the Fire: A Deconstruction of Clive Erricker's Postmodern Spiritual Pedagogy

Clive Erricker's proposal for a deconstructive postmodern religious education is critiqued. It is argued that it is internally incoherent, vulnerable to external criticism, and rooted in a confessional model of education. An alternative approach, rooted in critical realism, is outlined.     

The effects of exposure to violence and victimization across life domains on adolescent substance use

This study uses longitudinal data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) to examine the effects of exposure to school violence, community violence, child abuse, and parental intimate partner violence (IPV) on youths’ subsequent alcohol and marijuana use. We also examine the cumulative effects of being exposed to violence across these domains. Longitudinal data were obtained from 1,655 adolescents and their primary caregivers participating in the PHDCN. The effects of adolescents’ exposure to various forms of violence across different life domains were examined relative to adolescents’ frequency of alcohol and marijuana use three years later. Multivariate statistical models were employed to control for a range of child, parent, and family risk factors. Exposure to violence in a one-year period increased the frequency of substance use three years later, though the specific relationships between victimization and use varied for alcohol and marijuana use. Community violence and child abuse, but not school violence or exposure to IPV, were predictive of future marijuana use. None of the independent measures of exposure to violence significantly predicted future alcohol use. Finally, the accumulation of exposure to violence across life domains was detrimental to both future alcohol and marijuana use. The findings support prior research indicating that exposure to multiple forms of violence, across multiple domains of life, negatively impacts adolescent outcomes, including substance use. The findings also suggest that the context in which exposure to violence occurs should be considered in future research, since the more domains in which youth are exposed to violence, the fewer “safe havens” they have available. Finally, a better understanding of the types of violence youth encounter and the contexts in which these experiences occur can help inform intervention efforts aimed at reducing victimization and its negative consequences.
