Editorial statement

Grounded in the interdisciplinary educational work of Cultural Studies, this paper examines the pedagogical potentials of narrative and performance for the teaching of writing as a mode of public discourse. Guided to address a wide readership, students engage in critical communication aimed at linking self inquiry and narrative discourse to the contextual analysis of the social. Drawing on research findings derived from the undergraduate teaching of cultural criticism as a genre of public writing at Lingnan University, Hong Kong, we look at how educational drama mediates the work of narrative and performative acts involving the young learner-writers and contributes to the shaping of a dialogic mode of address and communication, thus articulating the process and impact of writing to the public-oriented discourse in Cultural Studies education. In light of such acts in critical discourse and imagination targeted at the potential reader, we show how the young writers' own engagement with critical thinking and communication are opened up by drama-in-education adopted in the class, and argue how, in this sense, both writing and its learning process become effective stages in the making of the kind of cultural criticism we want to help students to learn.

再论课程论研究对象与学科体系

目前,国内关于课程论研究对象的主流观点,主要有现象说、规律说、问题说等。这些观点,深化了人们的认识,同时也存在一定的局限性。以古德莱德的观点为基础,课程论研究对象可概括为一种课程产物与过程。课程产物是指课程目标、内容选择、内容组织、学业评价等要素的实质性内涵;课程过程是指课程管理、课程设计、课程实施、课程评价等环节。课程论的研究与学科体系的建构之间有密不可分的联系。

Open plan

This study reports on an investigation into the impact of strategy-based English language instruction (SBELI) on the language proficiency of gifted learners. The participants were students who were identified as gifted and thus received additional out-of-school training for a few days a week in Adana Science and Arts Centre. Their ages ranged from 10 to 13. One experimental group (n = 17) and one control group (n = 17) were designed to explore the possible English performance differences between the learners who were exposed to SBELI, which included 11 language-learning strategies for eight weeks, and those who were not. Data were collected through proficiency exams, written accounts of participants in the experimental group, think-aloud protocols and an open-ended questionnaire. The findings obtained revealed that SBELI produced a positive impact on the language proficiency of the gifted students and enabled them to enhance their already established attitude to make their language learning quick, easy, effective and enjoyable.     

Physician‐patient communication: Mutual role expectations

This study examined physician‐patient communication as it relates to expectations that patients and physicians hold for themselves and each other. Dimensions of mutual role expectation were determined to be physician as humanistic practitioner, physician authority, patient in the sick role, and patient as consumer. The study tested five hypotheses. Results showed patients had significantly higher expectations for patients in the sick role than had physicians. Other role expectations varied significantly by age within physician and patient groups. The implications of these differences for physician‐patient communication are discussed.     

Judgment‐Based Scoring by Teachers as Professional Development: Distinguishing Promises from Proof

The engagement of teachers as raters to score constructed response items on assessments of student learning is widely claimed to be a valuable vehicle for professional development. This paper examines the evidence behind those claims from several sources, including research and reports over the past two decades, information from a dozen state educational agencies regarding past and ongoing involvement of teachers in scoring‐related activities as of 2001, and interviews with educators who served a decade or more ago for one state's innovative performance assessment program. That evidence reveals that the impact of scoring experience on teachers is more provisional and nuanced than has been suggested. The author identifies possible issues and implications associated with attempts to distill meaningful skills and knowledge from hand‐scoring training and practice, along with other forms of teacher involvement in assessment development and implementation. The paper concludes with a series of research questions that—based on current and proposed practice for the coming decade—seem to the author to require the most immediate attention.

浅析档案管理以件为单位的利弊

传统的文书立卷方式存在两大缺陷,即人为因素过强,工作效率低.对立卷方式进行变革,废弃目前通行的立"卷"而采用以"件"为保管单位,具有省时高效、便于文件的保护、利用、增补、鉴定和销毁的功能.     

以人为本 人格本位——高校思想政治教育的向度

中共中央、国务院发出的《关于进一步加强和改进大学生思想政治教育的意见》着重强调,高校思想政治教育工作要坚持以人为本的科学发展观。近年来,以人为本已成为人们挂在嘴边的口号,但人们并未走出以人为本思想认识的峡谷。文章从另一视觉对人格本位与以人为本之间的关系进行了深层次剖析,以期改进高校思想政治教育工作的方法和增强其实效性。
