Teaching Them to Teach: Programmatic Evaluation of Graduate Assistants’ Teaching Performance

Academic libraries are one of the most important sources of “on the job” training for future library instructors. Librarians who supervise and assess these future library instructors (often in graduate assistant positions) often choose to provide observations and feedback each semester to these instructors in training. Scholarly literature, however, provides little information on whether this system helps graduate assistants to develop as teachers. The authors of this article assessed graduate assistants’ performance as teachers over three semesters using a system of observation and self-assessment. They analyzed both patterns and areas of growth and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this system.

本文借助文本资料和考古资料,重现了古代雅典陪审法庭的运作过程。在此基础上,作者提出,雅典人以平等、公平、公正为目标,通过把陪审员名额分配上的硬性规定与分配法庭时的弹性机率、程序的公开性与投票的秘密性相结合,并配以对程序协助者的监督,从而创造了古典社会中程序民主的典范。

对大学学术自由和功利意识之间张力形成的认识

学术自由是大学尤其是研究型大学的“性格”，理所当然地要维护和弘扬。但是，随着经济的发展，尤其在知识经济年代，社会越来越要求大学体现服务功能。于是，在市场化和效益化的社会背景下，大学在发展过程中不可避免地产生了功利意识，从而形成了学术自由和功利意识之间的矛盾和张力。     

全球化与公民教育：挑战与回应

作为现代性构成要素的公民教育从一开始就与民族和民主的观念紧密联系在一起。具有这一特征的现代公民教育伴随全球化的进展遇到诸多深层次的挑战。迎接这一挑战构成了20世纪末以来公民教育在世界范围内得到复兴和加强的一个重要背景,而对这一挑战进行恰当的理论与实践回应也正是各国公民教育理论与实践界正在积极探索的课题。在今后相当长一段时间内,如何寻求全球认同与本土认同之间的平衡将是这一恰当回应的关键。     

论氏族和村社组织中的共产主义精神

氏族和村社是古代社会的最基本组织。氏族是共产主义的原型,村社只有半共产主义的性质。通过对这两种社会组织的考察,可以看到共产主义的基本精神包括三个方面:财产共有、直接民主和互助友爱的道德风尚。

Academic socialization,parental educational expectations,and academic self‐efficacy among Latino adolescents

This study examined the direct association between parental educational expectations and adolescents’ academic self‐efficacy, as well as the moderating influence of parental academic socialization messages. Participants were 148 Latino parent–adolescent dyads with the majority of Mexican origin (80.4%). Most of the parent participants were mothers (85.8%). Adolescents were 13 (46%) or 14 (54%) years of age, and 53% identified as female. Adolescents reported their academic self‐efficacy and perceptions of their parents’ educational expectations; parents reported on their academic socialization messages of shame/pressure and effort regarding academics. The results suggest that, after accounting for parents’ level of education and immigrant status, parental educational expectations were positively associated with adolescent academic self‐efficacy. This association was stronger among adolescents whose parents reported transmitting fewer messages of shame/pressure and academic effort. These results point to the importance of nuances in the content and type of academic socialization messages within Latino families.
