四会—吴川断裂带新构造时期的活动特征

对粤西NE向的四会—吴川断裂带新构造时期的活动特征进行了讨论。该断裂带在晚第三纪—早更新世主要表现为控制断裂带内及其两侧的断块差异升降;中更新世为第四纪活动高峰期(断层物质年龄集中于49～30万年),并以压剪性、蠕滑为主要特征;晚更新世早期部分NE向主干断裂和NW向断裂仍有活动,且NE向断裂主要呈张剪性,NW向断裂主要呈压剪性。据河流阶地剖面资料,该断裂带在Q_2—Q_3主要活动期中的差异运动速率<0.013cm/a。晚更新世晚期以来,近地表或地表活动趋于微弱,但对地震、温泉的分布仍起一定的控制作用。在新构造时期、该断裂带不同地段构造活动的强度、方式、性质均有差异,表现出空间上的分段性。     

Peter Jarvis and 30 years of the International Journal of Lifelong Education

We live in a time of constant change—in liquid modernity—and this has created a rapidly growing need for Transformative Learning (TL): we must be able to constantly change and develop ourselves in order to keep pace with the changes in our environment and life situation. However, the need for change has grown so fast and in so many directions that the term of TL has itself become uncertain or even confused. In 2000, Robert Kegan posed the question ‘What “Form” Transforms’? He advocated a new approach to TL but did not propose any new definition; this situation still remains: among several proposals for new approaches to TL, there is a general agreement that the traditional definition of the term as changes in the learner’s ‘meaning perspectives’, etc. is too narrow and too cognitively oriented. In this article, it is argued that TL should be re-defined as ‘changes in the learner’s identity’. The article explains why this definition is better and more up to date. Through discussion of range of issues, the article shows that the linking of the concepts of TL and identity open the way for new understandings and possibilities.     

试论自我导向学习与学习型组织

随着终身学习思潮的深入人心,作为成人主要学习方式的自我导向学习,以及现代化组织方式的学习型组织开始越来越受到重视。然而对于这两者之间的联系却少有学者问津,此文尝试着将自我导向学习与学习型组织联系起来,从已有的文献中试图探寻二者的关系。     

Does teaching style explain differences in learner achievement in low and high performing schools in Kenya?

Quality of instructional delivery is an important determinant of the extent to which the teaching process has an impact on learning achievement. The literature identifies many contributors of learning achievement including teacher, curricula, teaching, student, home and school environments. On an ‘education production function’ approach, achievement may be modelled as an outcome determined by school and classroom based inputs. The processes of achievement determination are typically assumed, in the absence of detailed information about actual classroom practices. In Kenya, primary schools continue to report differentials in performance on standardized tests even when policy implementers distribute teachers normally to these schools. Such differences in academic performance have been reported even among schools within the same neighbourhood. Schools from the same neighbourhood draw students with similar backgrounds and expose them to teachers who have gone through the same training. This paper hypothesizes that teaching style plays a key role in explaining the differences in academic performance among students between primary schools. Using data from 72 math lessons that were filmed in 72 primary schools in Kenya, the authors demonstrate the extent to which teaching practice explains differences in performance among students and schools. While controlling for individual and school based factors, the paper uses mixed methods to analyse the linkages between teaching practices and learning achievement. The main research finding and policy implication is that students learning achievement can be improved through quality teaching, even when other conditions such as class size are not conducive.     

干部在线教育的现状与发展

提升干部教育培训信息化建设水平是干部教育培训工作改革创新的实施基础和重要途径。干部在线教育作为推进干部教育培训信息化建设的一项重要举措,为干部持续学习和扩大培训规模提供了新的平台。自2004年试点以来,干部在线教育工作在7年多的建设中取得了长足的进步,为广大干部提供了更多接受培训的机会。当前干部在线教育学员数量急剧增加、年龄差距逐渐拉大,学员的个性化需求对干部在线教育的资源建设、支撑平台、学习方式等提出了更高的要求,但国内干部在线教育学习资源建设水平参差不齐,未形成有效的质量评估体系。为进一步促进干部在线教育发展,应明确干部学员群体特征,重视资源内容和质量,利用新技术规划干部在线教育平台,“以评促建”,建立优质干部在线管理服务体系。     

高中学优生与学困生学习适应性的比较研究

中学生不同的学习适应行为反映了不同的学习目标定向。采用《瑞文标准推理测验》和《学习适应性测验》,对高一、高二年级学优生与学困生进行测查比较,结果表明：1,在总体上,学优生学习适应性显著高于学困生;2．高中生学习适应性的性别差异不显著,高一年级学优生学习适应性显著高于高二年级,学困生学习适应性的年级差异不显著;3．学优生倾向于掌握目标的定向,学困生倾向于业绩表现的目标定向。

A Romantic Study of Shelly''s "Ode to the West Wind"

Ode to the West Wind is one of the marvelous poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley. In order to study the Ro-manticism in Shelly's Ode to the West Wind, this thesis, by studying the features of Romanticism, shows the fasci-nating romantic beauty and glamour of this poetry.     

Goal conflicts and self-regulation: A new look at pupils’ off-task behaviour in the classroom

In this paper, pupils’ misconduct in the classroom is interpreted as a change from on-task to off-task behaviour. This change entails a switch from a current learning behaviour to an activity that is more attractive to the student but that is seen as a discipline problem by the teacher. Thus, academic and non-academic goals of pupils rival one another. Motivational conflict theory is used to elaborate on the premise that a discipline problem is a consequence of goal shift. The theory is used to model off-task behaviour as a failure to coordinate academic and non-academic goals, to ask new research questions, and to draw practical conclusions about educational interventions. The paper closes with suggestions about how to strengthen pupils’ ability to coordinate goals and how teaching can fulfil the various needs pupils pursue.
