Letting the village be the teacher: a look at community-based learning in Northern Thailand

ABSTRACT

Higher education in the U.S. sees global learning as critical to student development. Over the last seventy years, study abroad has emerged as the method of choice for teaching global knowledge and intercultural competence. In this context, community-based global learning programs are a type of program where students live in communities to learn directly from people and place. Looking at a field studies program in Northern Thailand, this paper explores the educational mobility of study abroad and impact on host communities. It shares findings on the experiences of two communities who have hosted study abroad students for almost twenty years. Best practices and recommendations for faculty and institutions running community-based global learning programs are shared, including the centrality of community voice in curriculum, benefits of applying a range of pedagogical methods on course, the critical nature of adequately preparing students for cultural immersion, and compensating communities justly for their work.

社区治理与公民社会的发育

社区是公共物品供给与消费的基本单元。维持社会正义，稳定社区秩序，净化社区环境，和谐社区关系是居民的基本偏好。社区公共物品的属性，决定了社区公共产品的供给需要建立多元互动的合作机制。社区公共产品供给机制的构建过程，正是社区治理结构的形成过程，也是政府与社会分权的过程，还是公民社会发展的过程。

解析弱势群体亲子关系存在的问题

当今,亲子关系存在着一些问题,成为孩子成长过程中的隐忧,由此出现了一系列连锁性不良反应.而这种现象在弱势群体中表现的尤为突出.主要表现在弱势群体亲子间互动的内容狭窄、方式简单,互动频率偏低,还有就是因价值取向偏离而引起的特定期望值过高及亲子地位的对立.这些问题是错综复杂地交织在一起的,本文仅从社会学的视角来解析弱势群体亲子关系存在的问题,希望能对我们促进弱势群体亲子互动,改善其亲子关系有所启发和指导.

Novice teachers’ learning and knowledge building during the induction programme

This paper explores the Estonian novice teachers’ learning and knowledge building (LKB) practices in the extended professional community during the induction programme using well-known knowledge conversion model. The assumption in this study is that a teachers’ participation in the extended professional community facilitates their professional development. The survey was conducted with 101 novices after their induction programme. The patterns of novices’ LKB practices in the professional learning community during the induction programme were explored. The analysis showed to what extent extended professional community may be formed during the induction year. LKB practice patterns among the novices were identified. We discovered that many novices felt that there was insufficient support from other teachers and from university experts. It appears that it is challenging to develop a coherent induction programme as the extended professional community of educators, where different partners collaborate and share professional knowledge is challenging.     

Developing a virtual engineering management community

The paper reviews the lessons of planning and running an Engineering Management practitioner development programme in a partnership between BP and the University of Manchester. This distance-learning programme is for professional engineers in mid-career experienced in the engineering and support activities for delivering safe, compliant and reliable projects and operations worldwide. The programme concentrates on the why and how of leadership and judgement in managing the engineering of large and small projects and operational support. Two intensive residential weeks are combined with a virtual learning environment over one year. Assessed assignments between and after the residential weeks provide opportunities for individual reflective learning for each delegate through applying concepts and the lessons of case studies to their experience, current challenges and expected responsibilities. This successful partnership between a major global company and a university rich in research and teaching required a significant dedication of intellectual and leadership effort by all concerned. The rewards for both parties and most importantly for the engineers themselves are extensive.
