时代女性的叙事与性别——20世纪二三十年代文学中的新女性叙事

20世纪二三十年代时代女性称谓首先是由男性定义、命名和阐释的,他们利用女性的特质来宣泄个人和群体的自我苦闷、创造自我形象;她们以自己的真挚的生命感受所创造的大革命时代的新女性——时代女性,既是对男性大师所创造的时代女性的呼应、补充、扩写,又是潜在的改写、解构、颠覆。     

Reflections on the Academic Policy Analysis Process and the UK Identity Cards Scheme

There is an increasing rhetoric from politicians for universities to become more involved in policy analysis and policy research. In this article, we reflect on our experiences of the analysis we conducted into the legislation to introduce biometric identity cards in the United Kingdom. We highlight how our work had direct consequences for the ongoing policy deliberation around this controversial piece of legislation. In particular, we highlight our role in the debate surrounding the government's figures for identity fraud and the concerns about the likely cost of the scheme to the government and taxpayer. We end the article by discussing some of the practical realities of such a foray into real politik.     

National nostalgia: A group-based emotion that benefits the in-group but hampers intergroup relations

Social psychological research on nostalgia has mainly considered this emotion at the individual level rather than the group level. The current paper proposes that group-based nostalgia for the nation (i.e., national nostalgia) is likely to be related to a positive in-group orientation and a negative out-group orientation, because it fosters an exclusionary and essentialist sense of national identity that is based on ancestry and common descent (i.e., ethnic national identity). This prediction was tested in three survey studies. Study 1 was conducted among a broad sample of the native Dutch population, and demonstrated that national (and not personal) nostalgia is positively related to national in-group identification and out-group prejudice. Study 2 replicated the findings of Study 1 among a nationally representative sample of the native Dutch population, and provided support for the mediation by ethnic national identity. Study 3 replicated the findings of Study 2 and additionally demonstrated that national nostalgia positively predicts tendencies to protect national in-group identity, via a stronger sense of ethnic national identity. These findings demonstrate the potential of group-based nostalgia to have positive and negative consequences for group dynamics at the same time.     

饭店文化认同对员工行为影响的实证研究

目前,我国饭店业中注重员工技能技巧培训的饭店为数很多,但重视饭店文化建设、认真考虑其文化认同、并以此来激励员工的饭店尚处于起步阶段。一般地,饭店文化就是员工的共同价值观体系,而员工认同是衡量饭店文化成功与否的一个标准。实证研究表明,基于员工认同的角度,成功的饭店文化可以促使员工向榜样学习,这个榜样就是在饭店文化培育过程中对员工认同起到榜样作用的饭店管理者;成功的饭店文化通过给员工实惠和理想,不仅强化了人性化的饭店文化内涵,而且让员工树立起主人翁的意识;成功的饭店文化创造了员工认同,而员工认同创造顾客认同,这样有助于饭店领先于同行,从而使饭店得到更多顾客的认同和光临。     

Young black women curate visual arts e-portfolios: negotiating digital disciplined identities,infrastructural inequality and public visibility

ABSTRACT

Despite the growing importance of digital portfolios for justifying creative work and study opportunities, little is known about arts students’ creative appropriation of online portfolios in secondary school. In particular, there is a research gap concerning the challenges that young black women face when curating portfolios as visual arts students. This paper describes the key challenges that three such government school students negotiated when taught to creatively appropriate an online portfolio software for curating showcase visual arts e-portfolios: In formal contexts, art students’ e-portfolios are strongly shaped by assimilatory norms. Visual arts students who want to develop portfolios that follow local or global crafts and fandoms must negotiate their low status in, or complete exclusion from, the national syllabus. Students in under-resourced school and home settings may already be using other online portfolio solutions that suit their purposes better than the particular software prescribed in arts lessons. Online portfolios are public by default and young women negotiated this risk by using pseudonymous self-presentations. Each student's classroom practices were also constrained by a technology selected for its minimalist exhibition aesthetic. Students curated showcase exhibitions, but the prescribed service did not facilitate a wider exploration of contemporary digital practices.     

我国比较教育研究的立足点

比较教育的身份危机问题由来已久,引发了不少争议.本文针对比较教育四种形式:身份危机--学科统一性危机、社会地位和社会价值危机、归属感和认同感危机及区域性比较教育文化群体的生存危机一一进行了述评,提出比较教育的发展并不存在身份危机,一些学者之所以产生身份危机的认识,可能是因为没有很好地把比较教育研究的立足点放在我国的现实国情上来.比较教育研究的现实目标应为教育和国家发展服务.     

学前教育专业大学生专业认同现状及对策探析

当前,学前教育日益受到各国重视,学前教育是我国比较薄弱的环节,我国学前教育的发展也迫在眉睫。因此,学前教育以及对学前教育专业大学生专业认同的关注也成为必须。根据调查研究显示,整体上,学前教育专业大学生专业认同的现状并不令人满意,不论从学前教育专业大学生对学前教育的认识,还是学前教育专业大学生的理念来说,学前教育专业大学生都需要在专业认同等方面有一定提升。本项目从以下几个方面提出了对应的策略建议：鼓励男学生加入学前教育专业的队伍;报考前对学生进行关于本专业的引导,加强其认识;通过报考前宣传、引导,入学后专业训练等途径,提高学生的专业认同水平。     

The ‘good’ parent in relation to early childhood literacy: symbolic terrain and lived practice

In this paper we consider the place of early childhood literacy in the discursive construction of the identity(ies) of ‘proper’ parents. Our analysis crosses between representations of parenting in texts produced by commercial and government/public institutional interests and the self‐representations of individual parents in interviews with the researchers. The argument is made that there are commonalities and disjunctures in represented and lived parenting identities as they relate to early literacy. In commercial texts that advertise educational and other products, parents are largely absent from representations and the parent's position is one of consumer on behalf of the child. In government‐sanctioned texts, parents are very much present and are positioned as both learners about and important facilitators of early learning when they ‘interact’ with their children around language and books. The problem for which both, in their different ways, offer a solution is the “not‐yet‐ready” child precipitated into the evaluative environment of school without the initial competence seen as necessary to avoid falling behind right from the start. Both kinds of producers promise a smooth induction of children into mainstream literacy and learning practices if the ‘good parent’ plays her/his part. Finally, we use two parent cases to illustrate how parents' lived practice involves multiple discursive practices and identities as they manage young children's literacy and learning in family contexts in which they also need to negotiate relations with their partners and with paid and domestic work.     

The role of emotions in student teachers’ professional identity

This paper presents findings of a qualitative interview study of the role of emotions in the professional identity of student teachers. Strong positive and negative emotions (mostly related to pupils and supervisors) were expressed about personal teaching experiences. The results confirm that emotions play an important role in social learning and, therefore, influence the development of professional identity. The two most important findings were that negative emotions exercised the strongest influence and that supervisors neglected the role of positive emotions as a support for learning. The study supports the concept that it is important for teacher educators to help student teachers understand their emotional experiences (focusing foremost on positive factors in their experience) and to develop the ability to express their own emotions in addition to understanding the emotions of others.     

Educating the teacher educator—A Ugandan case study

Who educates teacher educators? How are teacher educators educated and prepared for their roles and tasks? This article uses a review of a two-year full-time Diploma in Teacher Education (DTE) for teacher educators in Uganda to engage with these questions. The article begins with a presentation of the Ugandan teacher education context and a literature review, focusing mainly on teacher educator knowledge, preparation, roles and tasks. It then presents the review process and discusses the main findings that emerged, exploring their implications for the education of teacher educators in Uganda and internationally. The main implications concern the critical role of teacher education pedagogy, context, teacher educator knowledge, tasks and roles, reflective practice, practitioner research, and the background, capacities and education of the educator of teacher educators.
