Modern education and the revolt of 1857 in India

Abstract

In May 1857, a number of battalions in the Bengal army of the East India Company rebelled against their immediate British officers and the British administration in the North Western Provinces (NWP), Oudh and Bihar. The protracted conflict that stretched over a year was extremely violent, killed thousands of British officers and civilians and provoked an equally ruthless suppression. It ended the Company’s rule and the British Crown assumed administration in 1858. Even before the end of the conflict, the British elites such as former governor of the NWP George Russell Clerk and former Governor-General of India Ellenborough argued that English education was responsible for the revolt. They also listed the missionary schools and girls’ education as the leading causes. This paper attempts to examine the educational policies prior to the revolt and the condition of schools during the revolt, as well as the historical validity of the arguments put forth by Clerk and Ellenborough.

治疗美国黑人两性关系:对《吃盐的人》的文化解读

本论文以小说《吃盐的人》中的薇尔玛和两位男性人物詹姆斯及弗莱德在黑人性别话语中的表现为研究对象,运用文化剖析的策略细读文本,旨在揭示美国黑人男女两性关系存在着严重的危机,以及白人统治的社会语境所造成的社会偏见与文化创伤。本文认为通过“文化治疗”实现黑人的两性和谐已成为整个黑人群体无法回避的现实选项。

英国维多利亚时期的女性道德犯罪问题论析

维多利亚时期是一个女性犯罪十分突出时代,特别是以醉酒和卖淫为代表的道德犯罪更是占了相当的比例。然而,在这一时期,酗酒和卖淫之所以遭受到强烈的谴责,并不仅仅在于她们违背了法律,更重要的是违背了社会对她们的角色期待,违背了当时占主流的中产阶级妇女观。本文试图通过对这一时期女性道德犯罪现象的描述来探讨中产阶级妇女观究竟在多大程度上影响了社会对待女醉鬼和妓女们的态度。

Describing students of the African Diaspora: Understanding micro and meso level science learning as gateways to standards based discourse

In much of the educational literature, researchers make little distinction between African-American students and students of the African Diaspora who immigrated to the United States. Failing to describe these salient student differences serves to perpetuate an inaccurate view of African-American school life. In today’s large cities, students of the African Diaspora are frequently learning science in settings that are devoid of the resources and tools to fully support their success. While much of the scholarship unites these disparate groups, this article details the distinctive learning culture created when students from several groups of the African Diaspora learn biology together in a Brooklyn Suspension Center. Specifically this work explains how one student, Gabriel, functions in a biology class. A self-described black-Panamanian, Gabriel had tacitly resigned to not learning science, which then, in effect, precluded him from any further associated courses of study in science, and may have excluded him from the possibility of a science related career. This ethnography follows Gabriel’s science learning as he engaged in cogenerative dialogue with teachers to create aligned learning and teaching practices. During the 5 months of this research, Gabriel drew upon his unique lifeworld and the depth of his hybridized cultural identity to produce limited, but nonetheless important demonstrations of science. Coexistent with his involvement in cogenerative dialogue, Gabriel helped to construct many classroom practices that supported a dynamic learning environment which produced small yet concrete examples of standards based biology. This study supports further investigation by the science education community to consider ways that students’ lifeworld experiences can serve to structure and transform the urban science classroom.

论中国队微小优势智取日本队获2010体操世锦赛男团金牌

2008年北京奥运会之后,各国体操队均面临着队伍的调整和人员更新问题,中国男队同样以年轻队员为主,进行重新定位。因此,2010年荷兰体操世锦赛团体冠军,成为人们公认的中、日之争。比赛结果是中国团队以总分274.997分,仅以1.228分的微小优势赢得比赛,原因应归结为中国团队以隐现亮点,主动出击而智取日本队。     

对英国媒介教育“保护主义”的诊断与超越——大卫·帕金翰的媒介教育思想及其启示

大卫.帕金翰是英国著名的媒介教育思想家,他在基于历史事实和时代发展状况的基础上,对英国媒介教育中的传统保护主义进行了诊断,指出"童年之死"是传统保护主义的最大恶果,并就此提出了"超越保护主义"的思想观点。在"超越保护主义"的设计上,帕金翰要求为儿童赋权,使媒介回归现实世界,成为可自主支配的教育资源。     

中世纪后期英国妇女教育状况及其影响探析

中世纪一直被称作是"黑暗的时代"。和西欧大陆的国家一样,由于受到基督教原罪说和社会经济发展水平的限制,英国妇女的地位也很低,很少受到系统的教育。然而到中世纪后期特别是13、14世纪以后,妇女在经济活动中所扮演角色的提高,圣母崇拜在整个西欧地区的盛行,新的教育机构的出现使得英国妇女受教育状况的改善变得必要和可能了。英国妇女受教育程度的提高为其英国社会及其后来为自身解放进行的斗争奠定了基础。
