Environmental education in television narratives: a Brazilian case study

Abstract

This article discusses recent Brazilian research on the relationship between environmental education and cultural studies. Television narratives about the environment and/or sustainability in our everyday lives are used to pose some initial questions about this relation. First, culture is discussed briefly showing how it potentially relates to teaching and informs our role as environmental educators. We argue that culturalist perspectives on research in environmental education politicise teaching practices, even though they are in a context that strays from prerogatives that envisage a future world marked by sustainable development and a green economy. We investigate the impacts of television narratives and images on our everyday lives wherein we are consistently taught particular written and visual messages about how to plan for our future. Examples are draw from the teaching effects of a Brazilian television programme called Repórter Eco, broadcast on a public television network, including the sustainable management of the baru (a typical tree from the Brazilia Cerrado). We argue the educational aspects of television programmes should receive critique, as the relationships established between people and various media artifacts produce particular meanings and ways of seeing the world. This presents a challenge for teachers as examining these subjective ways carefully requires critical examination, not only in terms of education for sustainability or environmental preservation, but also teaching using media.

蚯蚓数量动态和环境因素关系的研究

研究了菜园和荒地土壤中蚯蚓的数量动态变化和空间分布，结果表明菜园的蚯蚓密度从3-6月逐渐减少，荒地土壤中蚯蚓密度从3-6月逐渐增多，而两者的垂直分布都是从上到下逐渐减少。在菜园和荒地土壤中的环境因素也具有明显的季节动态变化。灰色关联分析表明，影响菜地的蚯蚓密度的主要因素是含水量和pH值，而影响荒地蚯蚓密度的主要因素是土壤温度和含水量。

基于统计年鉴数据的区域学前教育环境承载力分析

基于2022年广州市统计年鉴数据,采用主成分分析法,从驱力、压力、状态、影响、响应五个方面对广州市学前教育环境承载力进行实证分析。结果显示,广州市学前教育环境承载力的驱力、压力、状态、响应水平较高,影响水平较低;11个区学前教育环境承载力存在较大差异。建议统筹做好人员和资源的动态监测和预判警示,加快响应速度;持续加大经费投入,公平精准配置学前教育环境资源;提高区域环境系统调节能力和响应水平,因地制宜均衡发展。     

从期待视野看严复翻译的《天演论》

姚斯的＂期待视野＂理论对翻译的启示是,为了使读者接受自己的译本,译者在翻译中必须关照读者的期待视野。基于对晚清时势下读者特定期待视野的关照,严复在将Evolution and Ethics翻译成《天演论》时,通过改写、删削、省略、增加等方式,强化了译本对当时中国读者忧患意识和爱国情怀的呼唤。因此,严复的译本激发了当时读者的积极响应,成为和读者期待视野近乎完美融合的典范之作。     

An Academic Library's Self-Study in Ethics: A Library-Wide Investigation of Ethical Practice

Abstract

In the fall of 2017, the Clark Library at the University of Portland undertook an investigation of ethics in academic libraries to understand ethical practices in the library’s day-to-day work. The self-study was a year-long, library-wide project with directed activities within small groups, individually assigned readings and responses, and discussions at all-staff meetings. The project culminated in three specific deliverables: an annotated bibliography focused on ethical issues by functional area, a Clark Library Statement of Ethics, and a Statement of Ethical Information Use for inclusion in University syllabi.
