欧美农村（偏远乡村）教育及其启示信息化推进策略

自20世纪90年代以来，欧美各国开始着力实施推进农村（偏远山村）教育信息化进程的策略，主要包括：开展远程教育，组织和实施“农村学园”等项目工程，加强农村教师教育技术培训等。通过对欧美国家农村教育信息化的个案剖析可以发现，欧美国家推进农村教育信息化的具体策略在实践中产生了一定的成效。欧美国家推进农村教育信息化的举措，对于加强我国当前农村特别是偏远乡村的教育信息化建设，具有重要的启发和借鉴意义。     

西方国家教师知识研究的演变与启示

西方国家对教学的研究从教师的行为转向了教师的认知,而对教师认知的研究也从对教师决定、感知、思维等的研究转向了对教师知识的研究。教师的知识并不是抽象的、孤立的、离散的,而是各种类型的知识复杂地交织在一起的。目前,我国教师教育的课程改革不仅仅是课程数量的增加或减少,更重要的是通过课程内容的改革,加强学科专业课程之间的联系,通过教育实践性课程和教学案例学习实践性知识,从而整合职前教师所学的各种课程知识,使其更好地在教学中发挥作用。

Teachers’ Lives in Context: A Framework for Understanding Barriers to High-Quality Teaching Within Resource Deprived Settings

There is a profound for more effective schools, especially within resource-poor communities in low- and middle-income countries. A wide range of literature identifies teachers as the most critical component of schools in regards to student learning. Despite this, there is a dearth of literature on how teachers' experiences influence their ability to attend school, remain in the teaching profession, and provide high quality teaching within the classroom. This study presents a theoretical framework for understanding the role of teachers' lives in context (skills, knowledge, and attitudes; poverty and health; contextual supports/barriers to teaching) in influencing teacher effectiveness. This framework builds upon Tseng and Seidman's (2007) systems framework for understanding youth social settings in order to incorporate teachers' lives into a larger model of educational effectiveness. This synthesis reveals significant gaps in our understanding of teachers' experiences and how they affect teaching. At the teacher attendance, attrition, and pedagogical quality and a key moderator of educational interventions. Implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed.

发达国家农村劳动力转移经验及对我国的启示

农村劳动力的转移是一国或地区现代化的必经之路.当今世界主要发达国家农村劳动力转移的基本经验是：以工业化和城市化发展为主要动力,农业现代化为基础条件,政府的政策和法律制度是影响农村劳动力转移的重要因素,加强对农民的教育培训是推动农村劳动力转移的重要举措,适合国情的转移模式是农村劳动力成功转移的关键.为此,分析了当前我国农村劳动力转移的现状和存在的问题,借鉴发达国家的经验,提出了促进我国农村劳动力转移的对策建议：选择适合国情的农村劳动力转移模式,大力促进农业现代化的发展,加快相关政策制度的改革调整,加强教育培训以增强农村劳动力的转移就业能力,通过加大城乡基础设施建设来促进农村劳动力转移,必须循序渐进,以促进我国的现代化进程.     

发达国家公共职业培训制度发展动向及对我国之启示

近年来,在全球竞争日益加剧,就业问题日益严峻的背景之下,欧美发达国家的公共职业培训制度出现了重视提高企业竞争力、重视失业预防以及将就业咨询、职业培训、职业介绍等融为一体的发展趋势。对于面临产业转型升级的我国而言,应当参考发达国家的经验,扩大公共职业培训的适用对象范围,建立以培养高技能人才为目标的职业培训体系,并且应当进一步完善职业能力评估制度,大力推行OJT培训方式。     

ICT access: Testing for convergence across countries

Our objectives for this article are twofold: first, to examine the convergence of nations with regard to ICT access; and second, to see whether countries in the same continental region (South and East Asia, West and Middle East Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania) or having same initial ICT access have coalesced into groups. We constructed an ICT access index using three indicators (mobile phone, Internet, and broadband use per 100 population) for a sample of 198 nations for the 16-year period from 2000 to 2015. Results show that digital divide has declined in relative terms, but not in absolute terms. The countries, starting at lower ICT levels, are not adopting ICT faster than the leaders. Continental region-wise analysis also shows that the catch-up is maximum for already developed countries, and minimum for countries in African and Oceania continental regions.     

Blockchain and sustainable supply chain management in developing countries

Theoretical, empirical and anecdotal evidence suggests that there are more violations of sustainability principles in supply chains in developing countries than in developed countries. Recent research has demonstrated that blockchain can play an important role in promoting supply chain sustainability. In this paper we argue that blockchain’s characteristics are especially important for enforcing sustainability standards in developing countries. We analyze multiple case studies of blockchain projects implemented in supply chains in developing countries to assess product quality, environmental accounting and social impact measurement. We have developed seven propositions, which describe how blockchain can help address a number of challenges various stakeholders face in promoting sustainable supply chains in developing countries. The challenges that the propositions deal with include those associated with an unfavorable institutional environment, high costs, technological limitations, unequal power distribution among supply chain partners and porosity and opacity of value delivery networks.
