What successful black South African students consider as factors of their success

Black South African students have a poor success rate in school leaving mathematics examinations. Attempts have been made to shift teachers' practices from teacher-centredness to learner-centredness, in Black schools, in order to improve the situation. So far, the attempts failed to yield the desired results. This paper reports on the findings of a study that aimed at learning from students and teachers in Black schools, as to what classroom practices lead to success in school mathematics, in their impoverished context.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

治疗美国黑人两性关系:对《吃盐的人》的文化解读

本论文以小说《吃盐的人》中的薇尔玛和两位男性人物詹姆斯及弗莱德在黑人性别话语中的表现为研究对象,运用文化剖析的策略细读文本,旨在揭示美国黑人男女两性关系存在着严重的危机,以及白人统治的社会语境所造成的社会偏见与文化创伤。本文认为通过“文化治疗”实现黑人的两性和谐已成为整个黑人群体无法回避的现实选项。     

The “A” factor: Coming to terms with the question of legacy in South African education

This paper attempts to offer an alternative framework for assessing education delivery in South Africa. Its purpose is to develop an analytic approach for understanding education delivery in South Africa in the last 11 years and to use this framework to pose a set of strategic questions about how policy might be framed to deal with delivery. The paper begins with a quick review of the country's achievements and challenges in education and shows that a failure to produce a high quality education system remains the country's primary challenge. The broad approach that is taken is to suggest that dominant approaches for understanding this lack of performance underplay the specificity of the country's context and specifically so its apartheid legacy. This legacy, it is argued, continues to be determinative in shaping, and accounting for the character of current social behaviour in the country, including the performance of children in schools.     

南唐诗研究述评

南唐诗在五代十国诗坛上有着非常重要的地位,但至今却没有引起应有的重视.对南唐诗的研究可分为两个阶段:20世纪以前的研究较为肤浅,主要是点评、感悟式的评价;20世纪以来,对其研究才陆续展开.南唐诗有着丰富的内容,可采取不同的方法进行研究.     

Describing students of the African Diaspora: Understanding micro and meso level science learning as gateways to standards based discourse

In much of the educational literature, researchers make little distinction between African-American students and students of the African Diaspora who immigrated to the United States. Failing to describe these salient student differences serves to perpetuate an inaccurate view of African-American school life. In today’s large cities, students of the African Diaspora are frequently learning science in settings that are devoid of the resources and tools to fully support their success. While much of the scholarship unites these disparate groups, this article details the distinctive learning culture created when students from several groups of the African Diaspora learn biology together in a Brooklyn Suspension Center. Specifically this work explains how one student, Gabriel, functions in a biology class. A self-described black-Panamanian, Gabriel had tacitly resigned to not learning science, which then, in effect, precluded him from any further associated courses of study in science, and may have excluded him from the possibility of a science related career. This ethnography follows Gabriel’s science learning as he engaged in cogenerative dialogue with teachers to create aligned learning and teaching practices. During the 5 months of this research, Gabriel drew upon his unique lifeworld and the depth of his hybridized cultural identity to produce limited, but nonetheless important demonstrations of science. Coexistent with his involvement in cogenerative dialogue, Gabriel helped to construct many classroom practices that supported a dynamic learning environment which produced small yet concrete examples of standards based biology. This study supports further investigation by the science education community to consider ways that students’ lifeworld experiences can serve to structure and transform the urban science classroom.

反美主义与韩国外交政策

反美主义目前已成为国际关系中的重要现象。韩国的反美主义已经成为影响韩国政治与外交的重要因素。其实质是一种反美情绪而非根深蒂固的意识形态敌对,源自韩国经济发展的促进、民主化的推动、民族主义的膨胀与美韩不平等关系的刺激。通过利益表达机制与媒体报道,韩国反美主义的社会影响与政治效应愈加明显。对美韩同盟、美韩关系、朝鲜半岛问题以及东北亚格局都有所影响。成为研究韩国外交政策不可或缺的元素。     

从南宋贤相吕颐浩看高宗赵构

学界对赵构的评价多有偏颇,有失公允。宜从具体史实出发,选取靖康之变、苗刘之变、浮海避狄中、定都杭州时、岳飞被害时、秦桧专横时等几个特定历史时期,以赵构的作为,尤其是其与吕颐浩的关系来分析解读,还原一个历史上真实的赵构。     

Development and Implementation of the Inaugural Anatomy Education Research Institute (AERI 2017)

Education research is increasingly being recognized as a legitimate route for faculty development in universities. However, many anatomy faculty lack the appropriate training and access to experienced mentors who can help them develop their own education research projects. Inspired by the American Physiological Society’s Institute for Teaching and Learning, the coauthors proposed and developed the inaugural Anatomy Education Research Institute (AERI 2017). Funded by an American Association of Anatomists Innovations grant, the five-day institute was held in Bloomington, Indiana in July 2017. The coauthors spent two years preparing the conference schedule, inviting speakers who could discuss education research topics and mentor applicants, reviewing applications, developing assessment instruments for the institute, and hosting the institute. A total of 62 registered participants (applicants and invited speakers) attended AERI 2017. Through a series of presentations and workshops, participants were introduced to many aspects of education research and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, including developing rigorous education research questions, determining appropriate methods to assess these questions, and searching the education research literature. Each day also included regular time devoted to work on their own education research project with help from more experienced mentors. Throughout the conference, participants were encouraged to post information on Twitter, using the hashtag #AERI2017. Participants had strong positive impressions of the conference and strongly requested future AERI conferences be held. Follow-up analyses will assess the institute in alignment with Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation Model, though preliminary evaluation indicates AERI 2017 met the original aims of the proposal.
