A discussion of the developing role of educational psychologists within Children’s Services

This paper reflects upon the developing role of educational psychologists (EPs) within the local authority Children’s Services, from the starting point that the EP role has, through numerous reviews, been clearly conceptualised. Detailing the philosophy and framework for the inception of Children’s Services in England, the authors propose two specific directions for EP work within this context. With an illustrative case study of one local authority EP service, it is argued that, whilst the core EP functions remain constant, it is the range and derivation of EP work which is being, and will continue to be, transformed. Reinforcing Stobie’s emphasis from 2002 upon EPs’ ability to respond flexibly to the changing socio‐political context, and the associated challenges for initial professional training, the authors highlight the significance of issues of role specialisation, commissioning of educational psychology services, and evaluation of the outcomes of EP work. A strategy for future EP role reviews is proposed.     

论树立宪法权威

宪法权威是指作为国家根本大法的宪法,在国家和社会日常运行中,是一切机关、组织和个人的根本行为准则,简而言之就是要体现宪法的至上性和权威性.但在我国,树立宪法权威主要应当完善宪法自身的不足,健全宪法保障与诉讼制度和提高全民的宪法权威意识.     

教师权威弱化的原因及教师权威的运行基础

教师权威的弱化是教育发展和社会进步的必然．也是促进受教育者全面发展的要求。赫尔巴特认为“心智屈服于权威,权威能拘束儿童超出常规的活动。”杜威说“为了控制一定的秩序．权威都是不可少的”。可见教师权威在教育活动中不可或缺。     

美国公立高校董事会的法律地位述评

董事会是美国高校的法定代表机关.按照美国公立高校或高校系统董事会的法律地位,可以将它们分为具有宪法权力的公立高校或高校系统董事会与具有普通法规权力的公立高校或高校系统董事会两种类型,前者享有较大的自治权,后者则受到较多的法律法规和立法机关等公共制度组织的规制.通常情况下,由宪法对公立高校或高校系统董事会进行规制比由普通法规进行规制具有更大的效率优势.     

现代教师权威的建立

自古以来,教师在人们心目中一直有着很崇高的地位,但是随着经济的发展,教师的权威也有了新的发展。现代教师权威的建立最关键的是在于教师如何去适应教育教学的需求,如何摆正自己的位置,与学生建立平等、和谐的关系,同时辅之以社会的共同努力。

我国学前教育消费主义倾向分析

改革开放以来,我国学前教育在市场经济体制运行下,从教育决策、人与人的关系和价值判断方面均体现出一定的教育消费主义倾向,这一倾向的发展将对教育公平的改进、学前教师权威的建立和素质教育改革带来一定的负面影响,值得引起我们每一个关心学前教育事业人的关注。     

年轻专家——新手教师合作研究叙事的知识论分析

1名在校硕士生和3名新手教师合作研究的过程,展现了研究生和教师从疏离到融合的发展之路.从知识论的角度看,当专业知识对新手教师的适宜性低、可接受性差、时效性不足时,新手教师对研究生的认同度较低,关系疏远.反之,则高.运用专业权威内涵的“能力和德行”要素作进一步分析和讨论,可以确定提高新手教师的教学能力、充实新手教师的专业知识是年轻专家与新手教师合作的第一要义.     

论社会权力存在与运行的社会条件

任何权力的存在与运行都是有条件的,作为相对国家、个人而存在的社会权力也不例外,其正常存在与正常运行也必须具备相应的社会基础。人类社会发展的实践证明,社会权力得以存在与健康运行的社会条件就是市场经济、民主法治和多元的文化。     

Negotiating authority through cultivating a classroom community of inquiry

This qualitative study examines how authority was negotiated in an undergraduate teacher education course. As the teacher of the course, I involved students in on-going processes of collaborative dialogue and deliberation about issues of importance to those involved through cultivating a classroom community of inquiry. The findings suggest that constructing relations of mutual interdependence, deriving legitimacy from mutually recognized sources, and communicating about the problem rather than the people present potential frameworks for negotiating authority in teacher education. Such knowledge is important for informing efforts to foster democratic teacher education practices and prepare future teachers to teach reflectively.
