从答案到问题:信息时代的全球化

全球化无疑可以作为时代精神的表征。通讯技术的发展和运用、传播的政治障碍的消除等多个因素导致了全球化态势的形成 ;沸沸扬扬的全球化究竟是现实还是虚幻 ,带来的是福祉还是损害 ,人们对全球化做出了诸多的理解和阐释。其实 ,“全球化”应该作为一个问题而不是答案来探讨。作为一种政治话语 ,全球化对不同的政治派别有着不同的意义 ;全球化的发展影响现存的包容和排斥模式 ,还有可能产生其自身的模式

Why LINC Matters

Linear and branching formats in culture assimilator training

The task of persons trained for interaction in a new cultural environment is conceived of as a decision-making task where the trainee generates and evaluates alternative acts. Different structures for presenting training materials may foster development of internalized standards for generation and evaluation of alternative acts to different degrees. Tue present study compares a linear with a branching structure. The linear structure was found to (1) require more time than the branching structure, (2) result in fewer correct solutions of relatively easy training items, and (3) result in more correct solutions of relatively difficult training items.     

The educational impact of the eugenics movement

Although there is a growing literature on the Eugenics movement and historians have shown some interest in its impact on educational policy, there has been little attempt by historians to demonstrate its continuity throughout the 20th Century. There also has been little exploration of its linkages with scientific racism as it has developed in several societies (in particular North America) in recent years. This chapter argues that Eugenics never lost its hold on policy, in particular, the treatment of ethnic minorities, and can only be fully understood in the light of the ongoing concern for Eugenic theory. The author also suggests that the widespread influence of the Eugenics movement illustrates the communality of educational policy across the developed world and particularly across modern Europe.
