Growing up in a tourist destination: developing an environmental sensitivity

Abstract

This paper explores how the socio-cultural milieu of a community may foster a sense of environmental stewardship among children and young people. Ethnographic fieldwork, carried out in a popular tourist destination in Australia, revealed that the overt impacts of tourism activity such as littering provoke negative feelings among children and young people; these perceptions can in turn translate into a sensitivity towards the environment. While debated in some circles, a Significant Life Experiences (SLE) lens is useful in understanding children and young people’s lived experiences of – and sensitivity to - environmental issues in the communities where they are raised. SLE is employed in this article to explore how a sense of stewardship towards the environment is developed among children and young people growing up in a tourist destination. Findings suggest they actively contribute to protecting the environment in a variety of ways from regular beach clean ups and educating visiting tourists to participating in rallies and anti-development protests.

高职商品学课程实训教学研究

高职商品学课程实训教学的目的是培养学生应用能力和实践能力,增强学生的学习效果。按照教学的需要,可以安排课堂内的实训教学活动和课堂外的实训教学活动。课堂内的实训教学活动分为教师主导的实训教学活动和学生主导的实训教学活动。课堂外的实训教学活动是实训活动的主体,可以分为校内实训教学活动和校外实训教学活动。

进修是提高高校教师业务水平及整体素质的重要途径。在药物分析课程进修过程中,教师所在高校、所从事的专业及年轻教师笔者等的作用十分重要,三者相辅相成、紧密结合,共同促进教师,尤其是年轻教师的成长和提高。     

全球化与文化研究范式的转换

全球化作为当代人类生活的发展趋势,不仅影响着世界政治经济的发展,也影响着人类文化的发展。全球化时代人类文化发展呈现出以往所不具有的新特征和新趋势,也使传统的文化研究的弊端暴露无疑。全球化对传统文化研究中民族国家中心论的理论范式提出挑战,这要求我们开放研究视野,转换理论范式。     

始于反思的批判：关于知识秩序的变迁

由于人类实践活动有不同的对象领域和不同的类型,任何社会都具有宗教知识、人文社会知识、自然科学知识等不同领域,但这些领域在一定知识体系中的位置,通常有主次之分。居于主宰地位的所谓核心知识,通过某种体制性力量把自己的规则、特性和价值标准扩张到其他领域,因此,社会变迁必然伴随着核心知识的变迁,并由此导致整个知识秩序的重组。20世纪60年代以来,在人文社会科学中出现了跨学科研究的趋势,致力于打破学科和方法的壁垒,有可能促成一种新的知识秩序的形成,用拒绝核心知识的互动型知识模式取代以核心知识为主的辐射型知识模式,在某种意义上,这样的变迁意味着知识界对一切中心主义意识形态的激进批判。

Role of recognition of prior learning for emerging economies: learning from a four sector pilot project in India

Recognition of prior learning (RPL) has increasingly been recognised as a useful way to certify experience and competencies gained in the workplace informally. Particularly pertinent is RPL in the context of international migration or in economies, where system reforms seek to overcome challenges related to access to formal training and qualifications. India has the goal to skill 300 million of its growing workforce and provide them access at various levels to certification and further learning opportunities. As a part of the overall system reforms, the Government of India, jointly with the ILO, pilot tested RPL in four sectors in collaboration with the industry and built the foundation for wider replication for another 26 growth sectors by undertaking a tracer study and evaluation. This paper can empirically establish that RPL has had a positive effect on income opportunities, occupational safety, social status and openness to further learning. The paper further discusses the challenges encountered during the implementation of the RPL projects before concluding with recommendations, highlighting the aspects required for quality RPL in an emerging economy. It closes by emphasising the importance of conducting tracer studies to determine impact and the need to provide complementary training during the RPL process.
