学术职业的解读--哲学王的理想与现实

早先被柏拉图称为哲学王的那些智者冒着被世人鄙视的危险引领并指导世人走向光明。随着人类的进步,19世纪初的现代大学制度的建立促进了职业学者阶层的形成,学科制度以及学科规训制度使学科内的学者沿着一条学术职业化的路径发展。从学术职业的框架出发来讨论大学教师甚为重要,以学术职业的概念定位他们才能确定其社会地位,推动学术研究的发展。如何建立一种强有力的机制来真正做到学术自主研究和适应社会两者有机结合互动,是当前亟待解决的问题。     

大学学术权力诉求下的学术机制建设

由于体制的原因,我国大学学术权力一直处于边缘化地位,学术权力与行政权力处于非对等状态。为保证学术权力的独立与提升,保证学术权力与行政权力的相互平衡,保证学术自由与学术水平,大学必须建立一个合理、科学、有效的学术机制。     

Linking critical pedagogy practice to higher education in Malaysia: insights from English language teachers

This study explores whether critical pedagogy is viable for meeting the goals of the Malaysia Education Blueprint (MEB) 2015–2025. The MEB has a particular focus on societal improvement and the authors suggest that critical pedagogy should be considered as a way of teaching as it specifically aligns with the aims of government policy. However, there is uncertainty about how critical pedagogy might be enacted in the Malaysian higher education context because it is difficult to understand and practise. The authors interviewed English language critical pedagogues from various countries about their experiences and found four common themes across all cultures. These were: co-construction of knowledge between teacher and student; new levels of trust; the use of problem-posing techniques; and evaluation of teaching and the student experience. These findings provide a guide to practice and the authors conclude that for critical pedagogy to gain acceptance across Malaysia, consideration needs to be given to changing prevailing cultural norms, the strict social order, as well as the political landscape of the country.     

Adolescents' daily sense of school connectedness and academic engagement: Intensive longitudinal mediation study of student differences by remote,hybrid, and in-person learning modality

In spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic thrust nearly 56 million students in the United States into remote education. By fall 2020, states' and school districts' differing public health measures resulted in the adoption of varying COVID-adapted learning modalities (i.e., in-person, remote, and hybrid). Using daily diary data with a nationally representative sample (N = 517, M_age = 14.65 years), we investigated whether adolescents' academic engagement and connectedness to their teachers and classmates differed by COVID-adapted learning modalities. We also assessed whether adolescent connectedness mediated the link between learning modality and academic engagement. Results revealed that academic engagement and connectedness to teachers and classmates were higher for in-person learners than for students in hybrid and remote learning modalities. Moreover, students’ connectedness to classmates and teachers explained the relationship between learning modality and academic engagement.     

Measures of academic motivation: A conceptual review

This review examines the measurement of academic motivation in college students. It distinguishes pencil-and-paper group-administered instruments according to their conceptions of academic motivation: academic motivation taken as a single general motivation, as single specific motivations, or as a complex of motivations. It evaluates these classes of instruments in terms of the interpretability and the utility of the information each type of instrument is likely to provide.

关于办好城市社区学院的几点思考

社区学院的定位应是“一点两面”，即全面提高社区人口的综合素质，建立终身教育体系，努力为社会主义精神明、物质明和政治明服务；同时要考虑社区中准备就近入学继续深造的学生和社区成员的职业技能培训和继续教育问题。在办学形式上，社区学院应坚持学历与职业培训、全日制与业余、普通高教与成人高教、现场教学与网络远程教学等多种形式并举，以最大限度地满足社区居民的教育需求。在课程体系上，应根据“预科型”、“就业型”、“证书型”、“趣味型”四种学生类型，构建核心课程、基本课程、实践课程和技能课程。在考试方式上，坚持“宽进严出”的原则，实行“绩点学分制”，学历证书与职业资格证书并重。     

Associations Between Classroom Environment and Academic Efficacy

Research was conducted on associations between classroom psychosocial environment and academic efficacy. A sample of 1055 mathematics students from Australian secondary schools responded to an instrument that assessed ten dimensions of mathematics classroom environment (viz. Student Cohesiveness, Teacher Support, Investigation, Task Orientation, Cooperation, Equity, Involvement, Personal Relevance, Shared Control, Student Negotiation). These scales were from two existing instruments, namely, What Is Happening In This Classroom? (WIHIC) and the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey (CLES). A seven-item scale assessed students' academic efficacy at mathematics-related tasks. Simple and multiple correlation analyses revealed statistically significant correlations between these classroom environment dimensions and academic efficacy. Results showed that classroom environment relates positively with academic efficacy. A commonality analysis showed that the three scales from the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey scales did not contribute greatly to explaining variance in academic efficacy beyond that attributed to the seven scales in the What Is Happening In This Classroom? questionnaire.
