行人最大速度对行人流影响的研究

应用改进的格子气模型(即将行人的最大速度扩展到大于1)研究行人的最大速度对过道中单向和双向行人流的影响。模拟结果显示:最大速度为5时所对应基本图的临界密度跟实验值比较符合,说明该扩展是必要的;在一定范围内随着行人最大速度的增大道路的整体通行能力增强同时临界密度减小;双向行人流的时空斑图显示行人最大速度的增大加快了拥堵的形成过程(即缩短了行人从局部拥堵演化为完全拥堵的时间)。     

浅议高校大学生群体性突发事件的预防管理

因社会因素、学校教育管理因素、学生自身因素等原因,高校大学生群体性突发事件时有发生,严重影响了高校的安全稳定。高校应增强危机意识,建立大学生群体性突发事件的识别、研判等机制,加强教育,提高管理水平,建立通畅的学生群体利益表达渠道,努力构建和谐校园文化,有效预防大学生群体性突发事件的发生。     

民国时期群体事件的发生及其处置--江都“清赋风潮”研究

20世纪30年代,江苏省江都县发生了一场以反抗政府清查土地为目的“清赋风潮”,这是一场较为严重的群体性事件。这一事件是在旧征收体制下,既得利益者的鼓动与组织之下发生的,县政府与县党部的矛盾、县长对事件的严重性估计不足、滥用警力等因素使得事件进一步的扩大,造成了严重的社会后果。这一群体事件直接原因在清查土地引起的民众的担心与不满,更深层次地反映了民众对政府的极度不信任,这种信任危机使得政府的合理的举措难得民众支持,政府在事件中站在民众的对立面,民众常常为有其他政治目的组织或团体所利用,给社会带来更大的冲击。     

大学英语教学中批判性思维的培养模式研究

作为大学生综合素质不可或缺的组成要素,批判性思维的培养理应成为大学英语课堂教学的重要目标和任务之一。本文先探讨了批判性思维的概念,又详细分析了大学英语教学中培养批判性思维的重要性,并以大学英语课堂使用的《新视野大学英语精读》第二册第七单元为例,对大学英语教学中培养批判性思维的教学模式进行了探讨。     

流行小说中的亚文化对青少年阅读及写作的影响——以韩寒的《三重门》为例

近年来,随着人们精神文化生活的日益丰富,流行小说空前繁荣。流行小说在校园中更是广泛地流行,其中所表现的亚文化思潮必然会对青少年产生不可估量的影响。论文以《三重门》为例,分析其文本中的批判性亚文化在学校管理、当今的许多出书现象、以及藏书现象的主要表现,并阐述其中的亚文化思潮对青少年阅读习惯及写作方面的影响。     

The stark reality of the ‘White Saviour’ complex and the need for critical consciousness: a document analysis of the early journals of a Freirean educator

While the anglophone academic literature has long engaged in analysis of the role of privilege in the work of educators in the Global North, this article represents an initial foray into such analysis in non-formal educational settings in the Global South. Through a cultural-textual document analysis of 12?months of personal journal entries written by the author while working as a Freirean adult educator in Mozambique, this article documents a lack of recognition of social privilege exhibited by the author in these entries, which is here referred to as the ‘White Saviour’ complex. This article also documents how the pursuit of what Freire calls ‘critical consciousness’ can effectively problematise this privileged mindset.     

Developing,expressing and contesting opinions of science: encouraging the student voice

In a typical science degree, little emphasis is placed on the need for scientists to make judgements about evidence and little value is placed on the development of students' opinions about science, with the focus largely on assessment of declarative knowledge. Yet it is the ability to evaluate evidence that is crucial to the development of the student as a scientist. This study assesses the impact on students' conceptions of science of a course that aims to engage students in discussion and reflection on what scientists do and on their own learning about science. Analysis of written reflective assignments from the three years the course has been run shows that participants become more confident in their expression of opinions about science and also develop a more mature view of science and its inherent uncertainty. It appears that a critical factor enabling this development is the way the course activities are designed to explicitly value students' opinions and to provide a supportive environment in which they can be expressed and contested.     

A corpus-based discourse analysis of the vision and mission statements of universities in Turkey

This article presents findings from a corpus-assisted discourse analysis of mission and vision statements of 105 state and 66 private/foundation universities in Turkey. The paper combines a corpus-based approach with critical discourse analysis to interpret the data in relation to its institutional as well as socio-political context. It argues that the mission and vision statements are marked by a need for reassuring their legitimacy and the demands of a growing tertiary market. The historical and cultural backgrounds of the development of universities in Turkey, as well as political and economic conditions, are also decisive in the shaping of mission and vision statement of universities.     

A critical cultural inquiry into insider issues in South Korean art education

Over the past decades, many art advocates have argued for the intrinsic value of learning in the arts. Nevertheless, the arts continue to struggle to find a secure place within the school curriculum. Concerned about the arts’ impact on classroom practice, this paper aims to cast light on diverse realities constructed by art teachers as insiders in marginal contexts. This will be done by reviewing a critical cultural inquiry into art education practice in South Korea. Two interpretive analyses of individual teachers’ life stories have disclosed the practitioners’ relationships to established power dynamics between the dominant practice and a developing alternative practice network within the system. The discussion focuses on the inherent contradictions and opportunities identified within the context of Korean education. This paper provides cultural resources for conscious professional transformation of practitioners and contributes to broader discussions on the socio-educational status of art in education.
