The influence of aspirations on higher education choice: a telecommunication engineering perspective

This paper analyses the influence of external factors that affect the decision-making process in the selection of telecommunications engineering studies. Particularly, we have studied the influence of factors related to the generation of expectations about the studies. A survey was conducted on a sample of 701 male and female telecommunications engineering students. The results show the existence of a direct relationship between the choice of telecommunications studies in non-vocationally oriented students and their expectations of finding a job more easily, getting higher salaries and more prestige. On the other hand, non-vocationally oriented students show similar academic performance to that of vocationally oriented students.

The effect of gender on students' sustainability consciousness: A nationwide Swedish study

This study extends previous environmental education research on gender differences by investigating the gender gap between boys' and girls' sustainability consciousness. The issue of whether the gender gap in environmental education can be identified also in sustainability education is addressed. It has been suggested that Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a teaching approach that could play a key role in diminishing the gender gap. However, the possible gender-specific effect of an ESD-oriented teaching approach is empirically untested. A survey instrument was used to detect the hypothesized gender gap in students' sustainability consciousness on a sample of 2,413 Swedish students aged 12–19. Findings reveal a gender gap in students' sustainability consciousness. The gender gap increases throughout the age span and is amplified in ESD-oriented schools.

论教师风范

我们这里讲的“教师风范”不是具体指某个教师个人的举止姿态，而是指教师这个群体的师德师风。“教师风范”主要体现在三个方面：第一，“爱岗敬业，治学严谨”；第二，“为人师表，教书育人”；第三，“团结协作，开拓创新”。它们分别是教师风范的基础、教师风范的根本和教师风范的关键。     

新时期的文学现代性学理研究

新时期以来，我国学现代性学理研究话语主要揭示了学现代性提出和研究的历史背景，解读了现代性的一般意义和复杂内涵，阐发了学现代性的基本内容或特征，这就科学地确立了学现代性的理念，对进一步发展学现代性，建构现代性学理论，都必将产生重要的影响和作用。     

注意词汇教学中的文化差异

语言诸要素中,词汇最能承载文化信息和反映社会生活。由于世界观、文化心理、价值观念、文化渊源、习语惯用法等方面的差异,一些常用词及其文化内涵迥然不同。因此 ,在大学英语词汇教学中融文化知识于词语中 ,以导入文化的适度性 ,对提高词汇教学的效率具有重要的意义。     

Supporters of low literate adults

ABSTRACT

According to the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), a large proportion of adults in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries have low literacy proficiency levels. There exist widespread stereotypes about adults who have difficulties with reading and writing, stereotypes which portray them as a socially isolated group with severe problems getting by in everyday situations that require reading and writing. Yet many people know adults who have difficulties with reading and writing (e.g. from their families, workplaces, or circles of friends or acquaintances) and support them in dealing with literacy-related tasks. To offer an additional perspective, this paper focuses on these literacy supporters. It draws on on qualitative and quantitative data gathered in 2013 and 2014 in Germany. The findings indicate that there are various types of support, from taking over tasks in informal learning settings or participation in reading and writing classes. This article discusses the results of this study in the wider context of literacy mediation, which is well established in international research but far less prominent in Germany.     

Researching educational apps: ecologies,technologies, subjectivities and learning regimes

ABSTRACT

Apps are becoming increasingly important in education. However, critical educational research has hardly ever undertaken up-close analyses of educational apps. This article provides an extensive analysis of one ‘learning to code' app called Grasshopper. Drawing from the field of Science and Technology Studies, the article adopts a theoretical framework that situates app analyses at the dimensions of apps' situated ecologies, their platform and algorithmic technologies, the enacted user subjectivities and, as the sum of these previous dimensions, the projected learning regimes. Making use of the methodological entry points of app websites, stores and interfaces, the article makes visible and analyzes the app’s infrastructural settings, actively invokes different app situations, and uses these to advance the inquiry by offering a multidimensional point of view that navigates different scalar dimensions of educational apps. In doing so, the article examines learning to code through its concrete sociomaterial practices, and the specific pedagogies and sorts of education that are employed in order to bring about such learning.
