沈德潜与《一柱楼》诗案探论

清朝“字狱”是我国封建时代思想专制统治发展的鼎峰时期。乾隆朝末期发生的《一柱楼》诗案，使得当时与乾隆帝以“诗友”相称的沈德潜亦未能幸免，但沈德潜在“字”上的遭灾并非只是受到《一柱楼》诗案的牵连，而是由于他所选辑的《国朝诗别裁集》已不符合当时统治政策的变化，所以沈德潜身陷“网”也在情理之中，只不过《一柱楼》诗案加重了对他的惩罚。

从《修身》到《公民》：近代教科书中的国民塑形

晚清时期修身教科书在民国以后向公民教科书的转换，是展现中国国民教育近代化历程的生动模本。修身教科书在内容上包含了以孝为首的纲常伦理观念、个人修养教育和国家社会观念的灌输，开启了近代国民教育的第一步。到20世纪20年代末“公民”教育代之而起。由于中国特殊历史时期政治化的影响，公民教育更多地表现出了政党色彩和历史局限性。即使如此，它对国民教育和政治教育的近代化仍然具有重要的启发意义。

Enhancing quality with a research-based student feedback instrument: a comparison of veterinary students’ learning experiences in two culturally different European universities

This paper explores the value of a research-based student inventory from the quality assurance point of view in two culturally different European higher education institutions for veterinary education. Perceived heavy workload is a well-known problem in veterinary studies and is a challenge to the quality of learning. First- and third-year students in both institutions responded to an inventory consisting of items regarding their approaches to learning, self-efficacy, study workload and the teaching-learning environment. There were differences in students’ approaches to learning and perceived workload between the two institutions. In both contexts, the strongest predictor of the workload turned out to be the surface approach to learning. Self-efficacy showed a positive correlation with the deep approach to learning and organised studying. The strengths of the teaching-learning environment varied between the institutions. Moreover, the present study discusses how the gained information could be used in improving the teaching-learning environment and students’ learning.     

Educational Research for Policy and Practice in Japan – With Particular Reference to Youth Education

Based upon the Fundamental Law of Education, Japanese school education system has long been a source of pride for the country as a result of the high school participation rate, the homogeneity of compulsory education throughout the country. However, the confidence of the people in its schools is now showing severe signs of strain and fatigue. In recent years, there have been many reports about the growing seriousness of a number of educational problems having to do with young people in their childhood and adolescence. Since the mid-1970s, a number of problems have been highlighted. They include violent behavior, juvenile crimes, bullying, refusal to attend school, dropping out at secondary level of education, and corporal punishment. Against the above background, based on recommendations from such advisory bodies as the Central Council for Education and the National Commission on Education Reform, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) has adopted a range of policies and launched a series of educational reform programmes. For instance, what is called “Rainbow Plan”, based on the final report submitted by the National Commission on Education Reform, provides the country with basic guidelines for the educational reform in the near future. Roles of educational research for making policies have been of significance. Research initiated by the National Institute for Educational Policy Research (NIER) and the National Federation of Educational Policy Research Institutes (NFERI) is an example of contributions to the development of educational qualities in the country.
