科学发展观对邓小平发展观的继承和发展

党的新一代领导集体根据我国经济和社会发展的实际状况和全面建设小康社会奋斗目标的需要,提出了以人为本、全面、协调、可持续的科学发展观,这一发展观是对邓小平发展观的继承和发展,因为它们具有相同的哲学基础和本质特征,都是对具有中国特色社会主义建设规律的探讨,其核心内容具有一致性。然而,建设有中国特色社会主义本身就是一个发展着的事物,是目的与过程的统一,就其发展过程而言,从改革开放之初邓小平发展观到今天科学发展观,是对同一事物发展规律的共同探索,体现了不同发展阶段的特性。科学发展观的提出是发展问题在新的发展层次上的升华,它的提出本身既是对邓小平发展观的肯定和坚持,同时也是对20多年来发展中的问题给予实事求是的面对和积极矫正。

Juggling competing activities: academic staff as doctoral candidates

ABSTRACT

This article explores the experiences of a group of established academic staff in New Zealand and the UK, as they undertake a doctorate in their home institutions. Our interest is in how individuals negotiate this dual status from a cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) stance that explores how rules, tools, community and divisions of labour, and interacting activity systems, shape doctoral experiences. The focus in this article, having analysed their detailed narrative accounts, is on how academics experience three interdependent activity systems: those surrounding the thesis, the institutional context, and the home-life spheres. Issues related to time, workload and supervision issues, variability in collegial support and impact on personal priorities and time emerged. There is a range of particularities – from easy access to resources/supervisors to inflexible institutional regulations – applicable to this group of doctoral candidates. Negotiating life as an academic with concurrent doctoral candidature provides positive outcomes in terms of teaching, research confidence and general personal and professional development. However, a range of difficulties can also be encountered, particularly in relation to personal and professional relationships, and workload management.     

The impact of a professional development programme on teachers' attitudes towards inclusion

This article describes a study that aimed to answer the following question: ‘Will a programme of professional development in the area of special and inclusive education be effective in achieving attitudinal shift in teachers?’ Forty‐eight teachers who were enrolled on a Master's programme in Special and Inclusive Education were surveyed via a questionnaire at the beginning and end of a ten‐week introductory module. The results indicated overall attitudinal shift and attitudinal shift for four categories of inclusion to suggest more positive attitudes at the end of the module, compared with at the beginning. The implications for providers of pre‐ and in‐service education and training courses for teachers are discussed.
