大学学术社群与教育改革

随着社会变迁及知识本质的改变,大学中知识的生产、转化、传递也是一种权力的再现与再制,二者间的紧密关系,实际上影响着大学教育的目标、组织与结构、课程与教学。未来大学社群的成员在观念上,应摒弃知识一元化的思维,重新界定与认知知识;在制度方面,必须适度矫正学系过度分化的情形,加强学院合作与整合的能力,让学生能在一种具有协作机制相互观摩学习的学校文化中,获得基础、统整的知识,成为具有通识基础的专才;在课程的改革方面,未来通识课程应以“核心课程”的精神、“多元文化”的观点设计课程,面向多变而又充满创新契机的时代。培养新世纪所需的人才。     

德育的真正基础:学生的美好学习生活——论教学生态在德育中的地位

外施性的德育面临的问题是它难以进入到儿童心灵深处,因而低质低效。儿童在良好的教学生态中会自动形成德性。认识素朴的德的存在、特性和生成机制,是认识良好教学生态在德育中的地位的关键;认识教学-学习在整个儿童生活中的核心地位, 是认识良好教学生态在德育中的真正基础地位的前提。教学生本化是形成良好教学生态和建立德育真正基础的关键。     

Predicting parental involvement in children's schooling within an economically disadvantaged African American sample

Predictors of parental school involvement were examined within a sample of 159 economically disadvantaged, African American parents living in an urban setting. School involvement was defined in terms of parent activity within the school. Parent demographics, attitudes about education, and community engagement behaviors as well as parent perceptions of school receptivity to parental involvement were evaluated as predictors of school involvement. Predictors of school involvement were examined separately for parents of elementary school students and for parents of middle and high school students. Results indicated that school receptivity was the strongest predictor of parental school involvement within both groups of parents. In addition, parental educational aspirations for the child and community engagement behaviors were significant predictors for both groups of parents. Parent level of employment was a significant predictor of school involvement only for parents of middle/high school students. Implications for school psychologists based on the findings are discussed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Psychol Schs 42: 101–111, 2005.
