中美义务教育择校政策的内容、背景与价值研究

在我国义务教育择校政策成为社会关注的焦点之际,本文分析了中关两国关于义务教育择校政策的内容、背景和价值,探讨了两国义务教育择校政策不同的发展轨迹。认为任何一项教育政策都是为了解决某个社会发展阶段产生的特定的教育政策问题而制定的,任何简单的效仿都是无益的,甚至是危险的。择校与否,只是一定历史阶段的产物,只是政策选择的具体表征,不具有普遍性。具有普遍性的是义务教育的基本规定性:公平。     

Predictors and outcomes of low-income fathers’ reading with their toddlers

Most studies of parent–child bookreading have focused on mothers reading to their children. Though the role of fathers in children's lives is widely emphasized, we know almost nothing about father–child bookreading, particularly among low-income families. The present study was designed to examine how often low-income fathers report reading to their children and what the predictors and effects of paternal bookreading are. The fathers in this study were participants in the national evaluation of Early Head Start (EHS) and were recruited via mothers enrolled in the EHS study. Participating fathers were interviewed at home and their children's cognitive and language development were assessed using standardized measures from ages 2 to 5. Results demonstrated a wide variety in frequency of bookreading among fathers. Fathers were more likely to read to their children frequently if they spoke English at home, if they had a high school education, and if their children had better language skills. Fathers’ bookreading predicted children's cognitive outcome. Paternal bookreading did predict children's language outcomes but only for children whose fathers had at least a high school education.

扩招后我国研究生入学选择的实证研究

本文采用2008年<高校本专科生学业发展状况调查>和<研究生学业发展状况调查>的数据,对扩招后我国高校研究生入学选择及其入学动机展开了分析.分析集中在以下三个方面:本专科毕业后表示读研意愿的学生群体的特性、研究生入学意愿的影响机制、研究生群体的入学动机及其结构性特征.研究结果显示:1)读研已成为扩招后我国高校学生毕业后的主要发展路径之一;2)毕业后选择升学和选择就业的两大学生群体,其家庭社会经济背景和学业能力存在着显著的差异;3)学生的个体特征、家庭背景、高校教学环境、学生学业参与、学业成绩和经济因素对学生选择升学都具有显著影响;4)研究生入学动机呈现多样化趋势.在保持学术研究兴趣的同时,强化就业竞争力、拓展社会资本以及荻取户籍等非学术型升学导向日趋明显.

The role of technological catch up and domestic market growth in the genesis of emerging country based multinationals

The paper presents a model that evaluates how upgraded technological capabilities of emerging country based multinationals (EMNCs) and an increase in the domestic market size of large emerging countries affect value chain location choices and the competitiveness of emerging country based firms versus advanced country based ones. The model shows that, even without possessing a competitive advantage in terms of technology and/or brands, EMNCs from large or rapidly technologically advancing countries can become dominant players in the global system. The model highlights the central role of firm level technological intensity and product differentiation in determining the location of value chain activities as well as defining organisational boundaries. Empirical analysis of the location choices of the world's top multinationals from large advanced and emerging countries in 2010 supports the model's predictions.

Testing and ideology: policy debates about literacy assessments for Colorado’s bilingual students

ABSTRACT

The Colorado Reading to Ensure Academic Development Act requires grade-level attainment in literacy in English for students in grades K-3. Its practical outcome, however, has been to pressure schools with bilingual programs to shift their instructional language allocations towards more English in the early grades. Proposed rule revisions debated by the state Board of Education sought to facilitate testing in students’ language of instruction for those in bilingual programs. Analysis of written and verbal opposition to the proposed rule revisions demonstrates the persistence of insidious ethnoculturalist discourses opposing bilingual education as well as the cooptation of liberal multiculturalist discourses that, while framing bilingualism as an asset, argue that it is underdeveloped in bilingual programs that do not include English instruction from the outset. Given that bilingual instruction has demonstrated time and again that it benefits students acquiring English in schools, such new discursive turns pose a threat that must be recognized to fend off further legislative and regulatory attempts against bilingual education.     

从教育选择权看教育发展的历史性转折

教育原本是一项由受教育者自主选择的自然权利，在教育国家化的进程中，国家出于普及教育之 需实施义务教育，由此教育强制与教育自由成为贯穿教育全过程的一对矛盾。“在家上学”的出现表明，尊重 个体的需要与选择应当成为政策制定与实施的应然选择。伴随公民权利意识的觉醒以及社会世俗化的进 程，人们的社交方式和认知方式发生变化，官民关系格局开始出现新的气象。由网络和非网络、体制内和体 制外等不同渠道构成的综合性的利益表达机制，使社会利益群体逐渐摆脱了利益表达的依附性。近年来正 在推进的教育治理体系和治理能力建设，促进了政府决策层对公共问题的关注和回应，引导当事人为共同 利益开展共同行动，及时化解矛盾纷争，促进社会和谐。
