On the critical period of Chinese pupils’ moral development: Retrospect and prospect

Research into the critical period of Chinese pupils’ moral development is one of the most important parts in the field of moral psychological study. This paper reviews 20-year literature available on the critical period of pupils’ moral development and its instruments to measure it. It also gives details of its inadequate research into pupils’ moral development and then concludes with some conjectures about the future of this field of study. __________ Translated from Psychological Science, 2005 (2) The authors are grateful to Prof. Zhang Dajun of Research Institute of Education Science, Southwest University of China to this study.     

Education,Welfare Reform and Psychological Well-Being: A Critical Psychology Perspective

There are established links between education and well-being, and between poverty and education. This article draws on interviews with parents of school-aged children impacted by a policy in the UK commonly referred to as the ‘bedroom tax’. A critical psychology perspective to education is put forward, acknowledging the complex interrelationships between psychological well-being, sociopolitical factors and education.     

A response to strategies and tactics through participatory action research in a developmental mathematics course

This paper explores the value of participatory action research in a community college developmental mathematics course. The authors used the framework of critical mathematics education in order to understand the critical conversations of students about their learning experiences, and also to help the instructor of the course develop the curriculum that attended to student experiences. The authors also draw on Michel de Certeau’s ideas about strategies and tactics to understand how students responded to their past learning experiences. Data results from the study show that students can gain a better understanding of their own learning and subsequently develop deeper content knowledge when they are more involved in the teaching and learning process. Lastly, the authors conclude that as adult learners grow in their understanding of the learning processes and of the content being presented, participatory action research can play an important role in the entire development of thinking and intellectual engagement.     

Mathematical Modeling in the Primary School: Children's Construction of a Consumer Guide

This paper examines 6th grade children's local conceptual development and mathematization processes as they worked a comprehensive mathematical modeling problem (creating a consumer guide for deciding the best snack chip) over several class periods. The children and their teachers were participating in a 3-year longitudinal teaching experiment in which sequences of mathematical modeling problems were implemented from the 5th grade (10 years of age) though to the 7th grade. In contrast to traditional problem solving, mathematical modeling requires children to generate and develop their own mathematical ideas and processes, and to form systems of relationships that are generalizable and reusable. Reported here is a detailed analysis of the iterative cycles of development of one group of children as they worked the problem, followed by a summary of the mathematization processes displayed by all groups. Children's critical reflections on their models are also reported. The results show how children can independently develop constructs and processes through meaningful problem solving. Children's development included creating systems for operationally defining constructs; selecting, categorizing, and ranking factors; quantifying quantitative and qualitative data; and transforming quantities.     

从曹丕批评"文人相轻"看中国古代批评家的批评态度

中国古代文学批评对批评态度的重视和研究始于魏晋时期的曹丕,其著作《典论*论文》首先提出了批评态度问题,其核心是提出对"文人相轻"的批评,从而引起人们对批评态度的重视和研究,构成了中国古代批评态度观.     

李白《丁都护歌》"石芒砀"解

在中国的古代文学作品中,往往会运用多种社科专业词语进行文学写作.如果仅从文学角度对这些词语进行考证,只会让人迷惑不解.文章采用训诂学的方式,考证古人文学作品中的注解,依此来探索运用多种社科知识考证古代文学作品的途径.

中医特色文化融入高校思想政治教育的路径研究

中医在我国具有非常悠久的发展历史,并蕴含了非常宝贵的中医特色文化,是医务人员职业道德素养的根脉之所在。因此,在进行高校思想政治教育过程中,要尝试着将中医特色文化融入其中,这样不仅可以更好地挖掘中医特色文化中所蕴含的医德教育价值,而且还可以有效提高高校思想政治教育效果。本文将对中医特色文化背景下,高校思想政治教育的重要性及路径给予介绍。     

Record Values and Surviving Glacial Moraines

Estimating the number of glacial advances from surviving glacial debris can, amazingly enough, be cast as a records problem for which there is a substantial statistical literature. As a result, instructors may illustrate method of moments and maximum‐likelihood estimation techniques with an interesting problem in the physical sciences.
