Stability and change as reflected in teachers' educational fantasies

The article aims to reveal teachers' dispositions concerning stability and change in the field of schooling and to suggest some possible connection to the social space. Forty teachers who attended a principals' training course were asked to write educational fantasies regarding their 'dream school'. A content analysis of the fantasies showed similarities, such as: respecting student diversity, core curriculum and subjects of choice, a variety of teaching methods and a rich physical environment, and differences regarding: time and space configuration, classroom size and the schoolyard and recreation area. Most (75%) of the desired models view the school as preparing the student for society, while 25% perceive it as a place for the fulfilment of students' potential. The conclusion is that educational reforms are likely to succeed if they follow the trend toward more diversity, choice and pluralism, but at the same time respect the areas of difference. Further research is needed to elaborate on the educational fantasy as a research tool.     

施奈德翻译的寒山诗对寒山文化身份的限制与重构

中国唐代诗人寒山在美国文化中被接受的原因在于,译者施奈德为了迎合垮掉派亚文化运动的意识形态建构,对寒山的文化身份进行了限定和重塑,使寒山具有了杂合的文化身份,从而使其成为美国垮掉派的精神领袖,在改变美国道德和文化方面发挥了意想不到的作用。     

It Ain’t What You Say...

This essay takes as its starting-point the recent announcement that GCSE English, the high-stakes test taken by 16-year-olds in England, will no longer include the assessment of speaking and listening. It attempts to place this decision, and other recent policy interventions that will have an impact on how talk in the classroom is conceptualised and valued, in a longer history of schooling, attitudes to spoken English and the notion of a spoken standard. The essay then explores, through an account of an observed GCSE English lesson, something of the complexities involved in taking talk, and the assessment of talk, seriously.

Eyes Wide Shut: Recent Educational Policy in the Light of Changing Notions of English Identity*

Although Curriculum 2000 includes some welcome changes, such as the inclusion of drama, it is essentially a missed opportunity. I argue that it fails to address the complexity of modern life. In many academic areas, including literature, issues of identity are central to fundamental debates. Such debates have been precipitated by increasing economic globalisation and the consequent increase in interdependence between people from diverse cultural heritages. Although this situation is not new, the social and technological changes of recent decades have altered the pace of such developments. In most cities school populations reflect such changes. In this paper I argue that there are substantial gaps in the curriculum which derive mainly from government policy being premised on crude and obsolete notions of English identity. Such notions lead to a confusion of the concepts of culture and citizenship as modes of belonging. In my view both of these factors severely constrain our ability to construct a critical curriculum which adequately addresses contemporary interests and dilemmas.

《琵琶行》与《夜闻歌者》的比较研究

《琵琶行》与《夜闻歌者》是白居易通过歌声关注妇女命运的两首诗歌,表面上写的是歌女,而实则抒发自己的报国无门,被贬之苦,从而达到感世咏叹的目的。然而两首诗在人物身份、对话方式、演技描写、外貌描写等方面存在着很大差异,笔者就从这方面着手来分析这两首诗。     

改进的移动商务身份认证方案设计

本文对移动电子商务系统进行了探讨和分析,并针对移动通信的终端设备多以计算能力相对较弱,存储量小的智能卡为主的特点,基于椭圆曲线密码体制,提出了适用于移动电子商务的一种改进的TDAKA(双向认证与密钥协商)协议,同以往方案做了比较,并对该方案的安全性和计算复杂性进行了分析。该协议有以下特点:实现了网络和用户的双向认证;采用数字签名,用户对业务具有不可否认性;由于利用椭圆曲线公开密钥密码算法,使得在同样的安全水平下,可以减小密钥长度,加快计算速度,适应移动通信系统环境。     

中国乒乓球队制胜因素的实证研究

中国乒乓球队之所以能够长胜不衰,雄踞世界乒坛,是与多年来乒乓球队技战术的精彩演绎及强有力的后备人才培养分不开的。中国乒乓球队制胜因素即“三件宝”是指技术组合的多样化、击球点的全面性以及反方向技术的应用能力,这三个方面对取得比赛的胜利起着关键的作用。主要通过观察法和数理统计法对这"三件宝"在优秀运动员比赛过程中的应用情况进行了研究,力求发现其中的规律,为运动员今后的训练提供参考依据。
