北高师教育研究科的历史境遇

北高师教育研究科成立前后,中国教育界正在进行“高师改大”与“废止高师”的争辩,其中如何安置“教育科”,是争论的核心问题之一.主张废止高师者,主张模仿哥伦比亚大学师范学院的办学模式,设置“教育科”于大学.在高师地位受到威胁的情况下,北高师设置了教育研究科.其动议是陈宝泉乃至整个北高师对教育研究及教育学术专门人才培养的一贯重视,其现实出发点是争“教育精神唯一的机关”,为高师升格为大学作准备,而其形式和具体内容则是来自哥伦比亚大学师范学院.教育研究科设置之后,卷入“校长风潮”,遭遇诸多复杂的现实问题.     

宋代地方官学建校资金来源探究——侧重于对学记文本的分析

宋代掀起四次大规模的兴学高潮,地方州县学校遍及全国各地。文章通过对学记的分析,考察了宋代地方州县修建学校的资金来源,发现地方官学筹集资金是一个多渠道的方式:或朝廷和路级官府拨款,或州县官府自筹经费,或民间捐献。不同的州县有不同的筹款方式,具有复杂性和多样性的特征。     

“文”“法”何必不两立——从《广笑府》的一则笑料说起

中国自古以来法家就有轻视儒士文人甚至视之为"蠹"的传统。鼓吹评"法"批"儒"的时代把是"法"非"文"推向了极端。这些都与特定时代的统治权力之争有极大的关联。如今要想打着加强统治权的旗号行褒"法"贬"文"之实已无可能,是"法"非"文"由思想层面转向了语言形式层面,也就是以法律语言规范文学语言,以至文学语言尤其诗歌语言在某些法律学者的眼里"逻辑混乱,语言拉杂,病句连篇",其中刘大生教授的名文《病句走大运——从海子的自杀说起》很有代表性。文学语言与法律语言差异很大,对二者进行辨析有助于消除人们对文学语言尤其诗歌语言的偏见和误解。     

工读学校学生人际信任现状及其与普通学生的差异研究——基于上海市的调查

目的:了解工读学校学生人际信任的现状和特征,为工读学校和工读学生家长开展相关方面的教育提供依据,引起相关研究者对工读教育这一边缘教育领域的更多关注。方法:通过问卷、访谈、实地考察等方式对上海市7所工读学校和2所普通中学的237名工读学校学生和159名普通学生进行调查。结果显示:工读学校学生人际信任的群体内部差异较大,两极分化明显;且存在显著的年级差异,随着年级的升高而降低;人际信任水平在性别、独生与否、家庭完整度、家庭所在地上不存在显著差异;工读学校学生的整体人际信任水平低于普通初中生,不信任感更高,对人性的看法更为消极。

Parental perspectives and challenges in inclusive education in Singapore

Relatively little work has focused on inclusive education in Singapore. This study examines the experiences and perceptions of parents whose children with disabilities are attending mainstream secondary schools in Singapore. Data was drawn from interviews with 13 parents of children with mild disabilities. Our findings reveal that parental perspective on inclusive education in Singapore is not only about classroom support but also reflects a deeper concern about whether their children with disabilities will emerge from school as contributing individuals in society. While parents strive to effectively include their children with disabilities in mainstream classrooms, there were dichotomies in their (1) understanding of disabilities, (2) expectations of school support, and (3) expectations for their child with disabilities. Given that academic and social prowess is a critical prerequisite to have a shot at entering the meritocratic Singapore society, the tension parents experience is to gauge a reasonable amount of pressure to exert on their children, the school and themselves as they assert their children's educational entitlements within an imperfect but evolving state of inclusion.     

The Heyneman–Loxley effect revisited in the Middle East and North Africa: Analysis using TIMSS 2007 database

Since the controversial finding of the Coleman Report (1966), which was that school resources had little effect on educational outcomes comparing to family background, huge literature has emerged in order to verify the above finding in countries other than the United States. The Heyneman–Loxley work (1983) presented for the first time clear evidence that variation in school resource quality could matter more than variation in family inputs in low and middle income countries. Following this literature, and using TIMSS 2007 data, we attempt in this study to revisit the Heyneman–Loxley hypothesis and the related debate regarding the overall importance of schools in explaining variations in student achievement across Middle East and North African countries. Survey Jackknife regression technique and quantile regressions have been used for the purpose of this study. Our results are in line with those of Baker et al. (2002) showing that the Heyneman–Loxley effect had declined over time.     

An Education Worth Having: The Aspirations and the Development of the Whole Education Network in England

The Whole Education National Network is a dynamic national not-for-profit partnership of schools and organisations that believe that all children and young people are entitled to an education that supports the development of wider skills, qualities and characteristics to enable them to thrive in life, learning and work, as well as conventional academic achievement. The article outlines the background to the development of the growing network of some 150 schools plus partner organisations and its core aims. It then considers what the Network is achieving and what it is learning about its approach as it grows. It offers and is seeking to embed and sustain an approach to school development that is ‘values-led, evidence-informed and impact-focused’. It is also predicated on a commitment to and belief in peer-to-peer collaboration, inspired and encouraged by the work of leading academics, thinkers and practitioners. Whole Education is also a response to what many observers and commentators identify as a weakness of the English and many other systems: the gap between the outcomes achieved by the more disadvantaged and other students. Part of its moral purpose is to help to narrow that gap, underpinned by a belief that focusing on immediate outcomes and test scores is not enough on its own. The Network operates in the belief that it will only be through the commitment to an entitlement to a ‘whole education for all’ that any school or system will truly narrow the gap and make a real difference to the life-chances of all young people. School leaders and schools that have gravitated towards Whole Education seek like minds to share and, more importantly, develop both their thinking and strategies employed to help achieve their goals. At the heart of the change model underpinning Whole Education is the development of effective communities of practice that develop professional capital and unleash the creativity of teachers. Creating, embedding and sustaining a national self-funded school-led network committed to achieving longer-term aspirations rather than immediate needs is both inspiring and challenging. The pressure to respond to short-term targets in terms of student outcomes and accountability pressures has meant that the energy and resource tend to be focused on the immediate rather than the medium- or longer-term needs. Whole Education provides a powerful example of how schools that share common aspirations can seize the agenda, have real impact on students and demonstrate the potential of a self-improving school system.     

王通“河汾之学”及其在初唐的影响

隋末大儒王通的"河汾设教"在历史上具有重要意义。其以续六经的形式,对汉魏以来传统的文化思想进行总结,标举王道,经世治民,强调学以致用的文学实用论,开创了一种新的儒家道统——河汾道统。文章通过对王通及其学说、门人弟子的考论,借以阐释河汾之学与初唐文学政治之关系。
