School entry age and reading achievement in the 2006 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA)

Evidence regarding the effect of early reading instruction on later reading achievement is unusually sparse, given the emphasis often placed on early and intensive reading instruction. Capitalising on international differences in school entry age (SEA), international reading studies may provide such evidence; however, only one quantitative analysis has been conducted that looked at nine-year olds over 17 years ago. Therefore, data from the reading portion of the 2006 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study were re-analysed. The relative reading achievement—as a function of SEA—of 15-year-old students across 55 countries was investigated, controlling for social and economic differences. Results suggested no significant association between reading achievement and SEA. Theoretical explanations for these findings are discussed.     

语词的潜在及其运动

“语词”是“词”的非专科部分的最邻近的上一个层次的概念。语词有潜在的情况，就是文献中见不到反映，却活泼地潜在于通用语或方言的口语中，这不同于承用。语词潜在的运动就是这个语词在口语中有意义或词性或使用范围上的引中或变化，或者展现其构词能力。由于文献反映的缺失，潜在及其运动的过程我们往往难以描写，常常只能见其首尾。认识这个命题对于语词的历史研究和训诂研究都是有意义的，可以解决一些疑难。     

A Social Development Curriculum: Applying Nurture Group Principles and Practices to Support Socially and Emotionally Vulnerable Children Within Mainstream Classrooms

Rebecca Doyle set up the first nurture group in Thetford Education Action Zone in 2000. In 2001, she published an account of her work to reintegrate pupils from the nurture group into the mainstream of their infant school in the pages of BJSE. In this article, Rebecca Doyle describes how mainstream class teachers requested further support in working with socially and emotionally vulnerable children in their classes using the principles and practices from the nurture group. A social development curriculum was written to support this interest, offering mainstream staff a planning tool to complement their existing schemes of work and to help in the drive to make the curriculum appropriate for every child, regardless of their barriers to learning. This article indicates that mainstream staff are now able to bring the increasing knowledge of nurture group working to the fore in their planning, supporting the development of whole-school nurturing approaches. The social development curriculum has become a well-used document alongside current planning frameworks, supporting staff in meeting the diverse needs of pupils within mainstream classrooms with minimal cost and little additional workload.
In closing her article, Rebecca Doyle argues that the social development curriculum has had a positive impact upon the pupils in her school and upon her colleagues on the staff. She is pursuing her research into nurturing approaches through her membership of the National Nurture Group Network and her studies for a higher degree at the University of East Anglia.     

论陈寅恪史学之方法及其对徽学研究的借鉴价值

作为中国近现代史学转型时期著名的史学大家之一,陈寅恪的整套史学方法都是值得当今史学界借鉴的,特别是其关于敦煌学、藏学研究之方法,即开拓研究新领域、预于时流、关于史料的对比、甄别的＂释证＂、＂补证＂＂、参证＂之方法以及＂了解之同情＂之法,都是值得徽学研究借鉴的。     

The History of Paper and Public Space

This article introduces a group of articles on the history of paper and issues of scarcity in the history of newspapers and news media generally. The articles discussed share a concern with the parallels between paper scarcities in newspaper history and spectrum scarcities in broadcast history. This introductory essay comments on the similarities and differences between the two kinds of scarcity and comments more broadly on the rise and fall of bottlenecks in media systems, paying attention both to how scholars have discussed materialities of media communication and how legacy news media in the digital era have encountered a new competitive landscape.     

汉代经学意识形态论略

汉武帝以后,解释、阐明和研究儒家经典的经学正式形成,儒学从此以经学为主要表现形式继续流传和发展。因此,两汉虽有儒学、经学两种不同的说法,与政权合作的只是经学而已。政治权利支持和社会心理认同使得经学逐渐成为汉代国家意识形态,并对汉代政治、文化、教育、风俗等都产生了深刻的影响。     

Exploring the cosmopolitanism in China: examining mosheng ren (“the stranger”) communication through Momo

This paper discusses a phenomenon that has become popular in mainland China in recent years, “mosheng ren communication,” focusing specifically on an application known as Momo, a social discovery and dating platform that is widely used in China. It first outlines the context of post-Mao China, which has produced urbanism, individualization, and a sexual revolution. Thereafter, it turns to the theories of the stranger and cosmopolitanism, which are used to analyze mosheng ren communication. This paper adopts cultural discourse analysis as the analytical procedure to present the findings of online and offline interviews conducted in both Beijing and Shanghai to examine how Momo users in urban metropolises make use of this app in order to analyze the cultural radiants in their communication practices. Based on the data obtained, this paper analyzes mosheng ren communication in the Chinese context and describes how Momo is designed to facilitate it. Momo users can enter into sexual relations based on the use of authentic photos on their profiles; alternatively, they can communicate anonymously. They are also “in-between” traditional Chinese values and new values. Momo users contribute a Chinese form of cosmopolitanism through cultivation of insensitivity to mosheng ren, while their engagement in mosheng ren communication implies that the members of are more open to others.     

历史与挑战：南非高等教育学科发展--以高等教育与成人教育研究中心为例

1961年南非成为一个独立的共和国后,南非高等教育研究开始发展。南非高等教育学科发展经历了一个历史变迁过程,南非通过在国家层面、院校层面开展高等教育研究,开设高等教育学科专业培养专业研究人员,助推南非高等教育学科的发展。南非高等教育学科发展尚面临诸多挑战。最后以斯坦陵布什大学的高等教育与成人教育研究中心所开展的工作为例,进行具体阐述。

中西边疆研究的差异性对中国边疆研究的启示

从中西涉及边疆的研究成果来看,西方边疆研究偏向理论及观点的论证,如相互边疆理论、冲击—反应模式、心脏地带理论、高边疆理论;中国边疆研究则偏向学科的建构,如边疆学、边政学、边防学、边安学,这种差异性对解决中西边疆问题产生了不同的影响。从边疆具体问题入手进行历时性与共时性相结合的研究,在解决边疆诸多问题的基础上,形成对边疆问题的共识和解决方案并提升为中国边疆理论则是当前中国边疆研究的方向。
