试论嵇康思想中的儒家素养

嵇康作为魏晋时期竹林派玄学家中的首要人物,他的"越名任心"、指斥礼教、托好老庄和崇尚自然的玄学思想旨趣一直成为学者们注意的焦点.然而嵇康实际是儒玄兼综,且具有深厚的儒家素养,其深厚的儒家素养主要体现在"修己"、"正身"的个人修为、"入则孝,出则悌"的伦理道德观、"以道事君"、"从道不从君"的忠君观和修齐治平的教子观等几个方面.     

Effects of Proximity on the Choice to Be Physically Active or Sedentary

The link between physical activity and weight loss has precipitated interest in interventions to foster adherence to exercise. It has been suggested that treatment effects, when significant, should be analyzed to determine theory-based mediators. This research assessed possible mediation of changes in Physical Self-Concept, Exercise Self-Efficacy, Total Mood Disturbance, and Body Areas Satisfaction scores on the relationship between exercise session attendance and participation by obese women in a 6-month treatment based on tenets of social cognitive theory (n = 73) or a control condition (n = 64). Participation in the treatment was associated with significantly greater exercise session attendance and significantly greater improvements in Physical Self-Concept, Exercise Barriers Self-Efficacy, and Body Areas Satisfaction. Overall, changes in the assessed psychological factors demonstrated significant mediation of the association between group membership and exercise session attendance, R² = .23, with only change in Physical Self-Concept scores providing a significant unique contribution. Extensions of this research across different sample types, and with longer durations, were suggested to refine theory and, ultimately, improve exercise adherence treatments.     

Who's Responsible for the Digital Divide? Public Perceptions and Policy Implications

Addressing the reasons for—and the solutions to—the “digital divide” has been on the public agenda since the emergence of the Internet. However, the term has meant quite different things, depending on the audience and the context, and these competing interpretations may in fact orient toward different policy outcomes. The goals of this article are twofold. First, the authors unpack the term “digital divide” and examine how it has been deployed and interpreted across a range of academic and policy discourses. Second, through a framing experiment embedded within a nationally representative survey, the authors demonstrate how presenting respondents with two different conceptual frames of the digital divide may lead to different perceptions of who is most accountable for addressing the issue. From this, they discuss the dynamic relationship between the construction and communication of policy discourse and the public understanding of the digital divide, as well as implications for effective communication about the digital divide and information and communication technology policy to the general public.     

School,family, and community partnerships in teachers’ professional work

Abstract

This article discusses the contributions of the international studies in this special issue and presents a few emerging topics on school, family, and community partnerships. The studies in Part I confirm that, across countries, future teachers are inadequately prepared to conduct effective partnership programmes with all students’ families. Part II reports the results of interventions that provide future teachers with opportunities to practice the kinds of communications with parents that they will use as new teachers. In my and colleagues’ studies, several topics of family and community engagement have emerged that will extend and enrich college courses for future teachers and school leaders. These include a redefinition of the ‘professional’ teacher; understanding partnerships as a component of good school organisation; the importance of goal-linked family and community engagement for student success in school; the role of the community in partnership programmes; and the connections of preservice and inservice education for preparing and sustaining productive connections of home, school, and community.     

高校思想政治工作的"十字经"

国际国内形势的发展与变化，使当代大学生的思想受到不同程度的影响。这就给高校思想政治教育工作带来了难度，也提出了新的挑战。因此，教育工作要运用已有的经验与科学的方法做好思想政治工作。其中，转变观念是先导，精选内容是核心，真诚态度是前提，摸准脉搏是突破口，情感教育是基础，以理服人是原则，开展活动是载体，以美育人是艺术，机制与手段创新是关键，注意实效是结果。只有这样，思想政治教育才能达到预期的目的。
