技术变革技能:技术进步视角下的技能演化分析

在众多影响技能变革的因素中,技术进步是广受关注的焦点之一。基于技术进步视角对技能的演化过程展开分析发现,工场手工生产系统下的劳动技能与生产技术并重,而在流水线生产系统里的劳动技能却因技术进步发生了“退化”现象,但随着信息技术在生产系统中的运用所带来的信息化却逆转了这一退化趋势,劳动技能出现了“再技能化”现象。可见,技术进步与劳动技能之间存在一种波动式动态演化的趋势,技术是驱动技能变革的内生动力。由此可能蕴含的启示是,“加大人力资本投资,增强职业技术教育适应性”成为产业智能化背景下推进技能转型升级的重要举措。     

跨文化交际视阈下的客家之和合文化价值观

和合文化是中华民族价值观的重要特征,作为中华民族一支系的客家民系,和合文化也是客家价值观的重要特征。本文将通过以跨文化交际研究的视阈,从客家"显形文化"中的建筑、楹联、山歌、方言及民俗风情等方面探寻其"隐形文化"中的"和合"文化价值观,弘扬中华文化,实现"中国梦"。     

浅析词义认知在语言交际中的作用

词义认知的目的是为了理解语言,理解语言是为了更好地进行交际。本文主要从两个方面来论述词义认知在语言交际中的作用,一是对于汉语成语的词义认知方面,应该既把握住句子的句式和语法结构,还要把握好语境,避免望文生义。在对汉语四字格认知时,切记不能生搬硬套地,要把握好词与词之间的关系。二是对于话语交际中的词义认知方面应跨越文化差异,充分把握好原话语的精神境界。最终本文意在说明词义认知在语言交际中的重要性。

从跨文化交际看中国留学生的文化失语现象

文化失语现象指留学生中国文化的缺失,难以用英语自如的表达中国本土文化和中国特有的文化。从跨文化交际的角度研究留学生的文化失语现象,针对中国留学生文化失语严重阻碍了跨文化双向性交流和中国文化推广的现状,找到留学生文化失语的原因:留学生对中国特色文化的缺乏;留学生交流的对象对中国基础文化知识的欠缺;留学生跨文化交际能力培养不足。因此提出留学生文化失语的对策:在跨文化交际中要坚持两种文化的平等性,相互尊重的原则;培养跨文化交际能力,从而达成成功有效的跨文化交际。

Enhancing learning,communication and public engagement about climate change – some lessons from recent literature

This paper sets out to develop key messages for the theory and practice of environmental education from a review of recent research literature on climate change communication (CCC) and education. It focuses on how learners of climate science understand messages on climate change, the communicative contexts for education on climate change, the barriers that can be found to public engagement with climate change issues, and how these barriers can be addressed. 92 peer-reviewed studies were examined. The analysis focuses on the goals and strategies of CCC, and how barriers can be addressed given the research findings on: (a) the content of CCC, (b) visualizations, (c) framing, (d) audience segmentation. The paper concludes that CCC and education need to address barriers to public engagement on several levels simultaneously. It recommends that scholars of environmental education focus critical attention on how practice addresses senses and spheres of agency; sociocultural factors; and the complexities of developing scientific literacy given the interpretative frames and prior understandings that are brought to bear by the public in non-formal education settings.     

Characteristics of the home context for the nurturing of gifted children in Saudi Arabia

This study investigates factors in the home environment and their influence on children’s analytical, creative, and practical skills. A sample of 294 gifted children (195 male) was recruited from grades 4–7 in Saudi Arabia, where the family context is highly influenced by the principles of Islam. Results did not confirm the effect of birth order, but showed that (1) mother’s education was an important factor for gifted children’s creativity; (2) the number of boys in the family was negatively associated with gifted boys’ creativity (r?=??.21); and (3) Quran-related learning experiences were positively related to gifted girls’ analytical (r?=?.46) and creative (r?=?.42) skills. Implications for understanding non-Western environments for gifted children are discussed.     

The Effect on Enhancing Students＇ Inquiry Abilities via Step-by-Step Open-ended Inquiry Teaching Design

The purpose of this study is to promote more open-ended inquiry activities in junior high school science lessons in the current educational system with fixed textbooks. Researchers adapted existing curriculum-based experimental activities for more open-ended inquiry ones. In addition, the whole class was provided with more opportunities to explore complete activities in limited teaching time. This study used Hazel＇s proposals of levels of inquiry. The method was to carry out the current 8th grade experiments through the step-by-step teaching material modification （from levels of inquiry 0 to 2b） and to combine the experimental teaching method with the 5E （engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate） learning cycle. After a quasi-experimental study, we compared the traditional teaching method with the step-by-step open-ended inquiry teaching one on 8th graders＇ basic and integrated science process skills and academic achievements. The study result showed that the academic achievement in the experimental group, based on the same instructional time, was not worse than that in the control group. No significant difference was found on the total scores of the basic science process skills between the two groups, but a significant difference was found on the ＂predicting＂ dimension. There was a significant difference on the total scores of the integrated science process skills between the two groups. Significant differences were found on ＂interpreting data＂ as well as ＂experiment designing＂ dimensions. Hence, the study indicated that it could enhance students＇ inquiry ability through step-by-step openly inquiry levels to change the existing curricula, which served as a reference of educational reform.     

Relationship Between Teacher Factors and Student Achievement： A Correlational Study of Secondary Schools

Teachers always played a significant role in the intellectual and moral development of students by using various techniques, assessments, and methods to improve student achievement in school＇s subjects. This study therefore focuses on the effect of teacher factors, such as assessment interval, communication language, the distance of residence, and the teacher＇s personal characteristics （gender, age, academic and professional qualification, designation, experience, and in-service training） on the 9th grade students＇ achievement in three subjects （English, Chemistry, and Mathematics at secondary level）. The population of the study is comprised of all ＂public sector＂ secondary schools, male and female teachers, and boy and girl students. A total number of 16 secondary schools （eight for boys and eight for girls）, 114 secondary school teachers （66 males and 48 females）, and 2,404 students （1,400 boys and 1,004 girls） were selected through purposive sampling techniques. Multiple statistical procedures, Spearman and Pearson correlation, mean, and standard deviation were employed to obtain stronger validity to the study. The results of the study identify weak and negative weak relationship between most of the teacher factors and student achievement in three subjects but the relationship between students＇ background and learning achievement in all three subjects were found positively correlated.
