Supporting students' preparation for the viva: their pre-conceptions and implications for practice

In universities theories and concepts are created and used within a disciplinary context, and some understanding of this context is necessary if students fully are to make sense of their studies. Thus, we investigate computer scientists' perspectives on their discipline. Biglan characterises Computer Science as being hard, rather than soft and as being applied, rather than pure. Therefore, Computer Science is associated with the engineering disciplines. Although many computer scientists support this view, others see the discipline as being identified more properly with Mathematics and/or the sciences. We suggest some reasons for the difference of opinion and highlight the implications for what students might learn about the disciplinary context.     

A Minority within a Minority? Social Justice for Traveller and Roma Children in ECEC

This article discusses recent policy developments in Europe regarding Roma and Traveller integration and Early Childhood Provision. After a long history of oppression, Roma issues have recently become prominent on the EU policy agenda. The article discusses how these relate to developments in other areas of policy: the European children's rights agenda and the recognition that early childhood education and care is a key policy tool to combat social exclusion. It gives background information on Roma and Travellers in Europe and discusses the consequences of subsuming the various communities under one umbrella term: Roma. The EU Commission is concerned with responses from Member States to the European Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies. The article argues that in order to address Roma children's experience from a holistic perspective, social justice and equality need to be key elements of early childhood education and care provision and training. The European policy developments that frame the article are examined from a local vantage point: the experiences of Traveller and Roma children in Ireland and the Irish Preschool Education Initiative for Children from Minority Communities.     

顾颉刚疑古学浅论

顾颉刚先生是我国现代“疑古”运动的代表性人物,顾先生的治学方法论有“中”,“西”嫁接的特点,他所选择的中、西两端的代表,一为胡适,一为崔述,顾先生“层累说”受到了崔述较深的影响,其治学方法也和崔述一样,一方面能够将史事的“原始状”与“传衍状”相分离,另一方面,亦由于过分强调史料的“当下性”而忽视了史料的“滞后性”,致使顾先生在疑古的具体操作中不免出现了某些误区。     

Eyes Wide Shut: Recent Educational Policy in the Light of Changing Notions of English Identity*

Although Curriculum 2000 includes some welcome changes, such as the inclusion of drama, it is essentially a missed opportunity. I argue that it fails to address the complexity of modern life. In many academic areas, including literature, issues of identity are central to fundamental debates. Such debates have been precipitated by increasing economic globalisation and the consequent increase in interdependence between people from diverse cultural heritages. Although this situation is not new, the social and technological changes of recent decades have altered the pace of such developments. In most cities school populations reflect such changes. In this paper I argue that there are substantial gaps in the curriculum which derive mainly from government policy being premised on crude and obsolete notions of English identity. Such notions lead to a confusion of the concepts of culture and citizenship as modes of belonging. In my view both of these factors severely constrain our ability to construct a critical curriculum which adequately addresses contemporary interests and dilemmas.

国有企业员工身份多元化与情感承诺关系研究

利用326份问卷调查的数据对国有企业员工身份多元化与情感承诺之间的关系进行实证研究,并探索了工资合法性和雇佣形式对上述关系的调节作用。研究结论显示,国有企业员工身份多元化的程度能够显著地降低员工的情感承诺,而工资的合法性能够正向调节上述消极关系:工资合法性越强,国有企业员工身份多元化对情感承诺的消极影响就越弱。但是,雇佣形式能够负向调节上述消极关系:正式身份员工的身份多元化程度对情感承诺的消极影响,要显著地高于非正式身份员工的身份多元化程度对情感承诺的消极影响。
