Status of Environmental Education in Geography Programmes at the Tertiary Level in some ASEAN Countries

Geography programmes in the universities in the ASEAN countries have been involved in environmental education through the study of the earth as the home of man in general and of the physical environment in particular. However, there is a perceptible trend that the discipline at this level is on the decline, partly due to external factors and partly to its own making. The traditional strength of geography as an environmental science does no longer guarantee its future role unless there is a change to its approach in environmental education. This paper examines the present status of the discipline at the tertiary level in this region in the light of the above and calls for a new approach to the study of the environment.     

Making Sense of Place: Sarah’s Story

Written from the vantage point of both a mother and teacher educator, the author recounts the journey taken by Sarah, her 4-year old daughter, as she is introduced to and explores map making as a means of representing and making sense of familiar and unfamiliar places. Offering Sarah’s experience as context, the author offers both a practical and theoretical discussion of children’s emerging geographic literacy, its relationship to identity development and the importance of understanding children’s experience and socio-emotional development to inform pedagogy.

Departmental Climate and Student Experiences in Graduate Geography Programs

This study explores how graduate students enrolled in M.A./M.S. and Ph.D. geography programs perceive the social and academic climate of their departments. A second objective is to understand how these students self-assess their own professional abilities, values, and goals, and whether these self-assessments differ across demographic and institutional contexts. The survey instrument for this research is based on data collected from graduate student focus groups and on validated constructs of academic culture and climate from previous research. T-tests, ANOVA, and regression analyses identified significant differences among graduate students and their perceptions of departmental climate when compared on the basis of gender, citizenship, race/ethnicity, disciplinary subfield, and institutional type. Interview data provide additional context for analysis of the survey data. The primary areas in which we detected differences in graduate students’ experiences were 1) diversity issues, 2) disciplinary and institutional cultures, 3) career planning and development, 4) financial matters, and 5) quality of the learning environment. These differences result from the varying social and academic dynamics of graduate programs, illustrating the importance of the local environment in shaping student experiences.

2004高考(上海卷)地理科考试评价

2004年高考(上海卷)地理试卷包含两大部分:选择题和综合分析题。选择题部分共20题,每题2分,计40分。综合分析题部分有八大题,34个小题, 110个得分点。主要从经典的试题分析、考试结果的信度、考试效度的内容和结构方面的证据以及考试对教育教学的影响等几个角度对地理考试进行评价,得出下列结论:地理考试的能力目标是根据课程标准制定的,命题以课程标准为依据,难度略偏易,有一定的区分度;试卷的题量适中;选择题与非选择题比例适中,对学校的教育和教学有较好的导向作用。然而,综合分析题部分图文信息阅读量较大,应答文字表述较少,难以比较系统地考查考生独立的地理思维能力,这对教学的导向是不利的。     

先秦时期的基层组织——乡

"乡"最早出现于甲骨文和陶文中,反映了具有浓厚血缘特征的亲族关系。随着阶级社会的发展和基层组织体系的完善,"乡"逐渐演变为一级重要的基层行政组织,并突破了国野制度的限制和血缘关系的束缚。至春秋战国之际,乡制在各诸侯国中得以普遍的确立。"乡"的发展演变是研究和探讨先秦时期基层组织管理体系发展、变化的一个重要剖面。     

Managing Time in a Software Factory: Temporal and Spatial Organization of IS Development Activities

This article reports an ethnographic study that investigates the ways in which time was experienced and managed in an information systems (IS) development project. The study is based on 6 months of intensive overt participant observation of the development of Executive Information Systems in a large multinational company. Drawing on time geography, this article discusses a social perspective of time and social dynamics of time management in IS development project teams and outlines its implications for formal approaches to time management.     

论媒介地理学的发展历程与学科建构

媒介地理学是一门研究人类同媒介、地理的相互关系及其互动规律的学科。媒介地理学关注地理因素对媒介形态的影响以及媒介对地理样本的建构。一方面,不同的地理环境对媒介的形态与个性有着深刻的影响,另一方面,媒介凭借其对地理的命名与叙述,使真实地理的呈现充满了想象与虚构。从媒介地理学的学科渊源来看,它发端于文化地理学,从文化地理学形成的那天开始,媒介地理学也就诞生了。在研究方法上,举凡实证研究、批判研究、质化研究与量化研究等各种研究方法都应该成为媒介地理学常用的研究范式,借鉴地理学的“空间分析”方法,将有助于探讨媒介的“空间再现”和“地理想象”问题,建构起媒介地理学的学科理论。
