论当代中国电影中的个体生命意识

长期以来中国电影一直遵循"影以载道"的艺术原则,在特定的历史语境中起到了凝聚力、向心力作用,而作为个体生命意识在中国电影中长期处于边缘和失语的境遇。时代发展到今天,个体生命意识越发成为当代导演观照的对象,叙述个体的、边缘的、"小人物"命运的电影作品层出不穷。从个体生命意识视角对当代中国电影进行巡览,试图就当代电影构建过程中对个体生命意识的观照进行梳理,阐述个体生命意识在当代中国电影建构中经历了"从边缘到中心"的转变。     

Emotions and values – a case study of meaning-making in ESE

With an interest in the role of emotions and values in students’ meaning-making in Environmental and Sustainability Education a case study was carried out in a Swedish school-class with students, 12 years of age. During a six-week thematic group-work focusing environmental and sustainability issues related to food, the students were observed and interviewed in their daily school practice. The results are presented here through narrative reporting, and analysed with the use of Dewey’s theoretical perspectives on experience, distinguishing three phases in a process: a start, an activity phase and a closure. Martha Nussbaum’s theory of emotions is used to assist in the understanding of emotions and values. The study reports on active and independent meaning-making processes in students’ group work. The results provide examples of students’ meaning-making experiences and the role of emotions and values in them, indicating that more of values are formed and expressed in the concluding phase.     

The effects of motivational constructs and engagements on mathematics achievements: a comparative study using TIMSS 2011 data of Chinese Taipei,Singapore, and the USA

Motivational constructs and students’ engagements have great impacts on students’ mathematics achievements, yet they have not been theoretically investigated using international large-scale assessment data. This study utilized the mathematics data of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 2011 to conduct a comparative and empirical study on exploring: (1) the changes of motivational constructs from 4th grade to 8th grade; and (2) the effects of motivational constructs from the expectancy-value model and students’ engagements on mathematics achievements. The countries investigated include Chinese Taipei, Singapore, and the USA. The results showed that: (1) students’ motivations deteriorate over school years; (2) self-confidence in mathematics (SCM) has the strongest relationship with mathematics achievements. Furthermore, it is evident that Singapore has the most effective schools in students’ mathematics education. More findings of this comparative study are subsequently discussed.     

Holocaust knowledge and Holocaust education experiences predict citizenship values among US adults

This community-based research investigated the relationship among Holocaust knowledge, Holocaust education experiences, and citizenship values in adults residing in the US. This study contributes to the literature an inferential investigation that reports positive civic attitudes associated with Holocaust education. A moderate correlation was identified, with approximately 10% of the variance in citizenship scores explained by Holocaust knowledge. Multiple regression analyses revealed Holocaust knowledge as the strongest predictor of citizenship values, followed by gender, suburban/urban childhood community, and learning about the Holocaust in school, respectively. Of eight unique Holocaust education experiences examined, learning about the Holocaust in school was the strongest predictor of citizenship values, followed by hearing a Holocaust survivor testimony in person or via electronic media, and visiting a Holocaust museum, respectively. Findings can inform Holocaust education policy, research, and practice, including the potential role of Holocaust curriculum in the larger context of moral and civic education.     

How service values influence the processing of word-of-mouth in the evaluation of credence beliefs

The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of service values on the processing of word-of-mouth (WOM) information, and their impact on a complex belief in a high-involvement service context. Hypotheses are tested on survey data collected from 378 respondents facing a high-involvement service choice. The results suggest that two distinct information processing routes are active when consumers (here prospective students) evaluate complex beliefs. Furthermore, service values have distinct effects on the processing of WOM information. Self-oriented values foster more cognitive processing, whereas socially oriented values have the opposite effect. Considering the reasons as to why a service is needed (service values) should be a focus for marketers since they can be a powerful persuasion approach affecting the processing of WOM. This study contributes to earlier research on higher education marketing by incorporating service values into the pre-purchase phase of prospective students’ decision-making.

教师工作价值观及其影响因素的实证研究

采用教师工作价值观量表,对我国645名中小学教师进行了测量,运用LISERL8.3和SPSS13.0对数据进行统计分析。结果发现:(1)教师工作价值观是由物质报酬、声望地位、职业发展、人际关系、组织管理、利他奉献和安全稳定7个因子组成的多维结构,以此为基础编制的《教师工作价值观问卷》具有较好的信度和效度;(2)利他奉献是当代教师重要的工作价值取向;(3)教师工作价值观受性别、学校性质、学段、学校来源等因素的影响。研究表明:教师工作价值观是一个多维的心理结构,利他奉献是当代教师重要的工作价值取向,但教师工作价值观也受相关变量的影响。
