Data assemblages,sentient schools and digitised health and physical education (response to Gard)

Michael Gard raises some important issues in his opinion piece on digitised health and physical education (HPE) in the school setting. His piece represents the beginning of a more critical approach to the instrumental and solutionist perspectives that are currently offered on digitised HPE. Few commentators in education, health promotion or sports studies have begun to realise the extent to which digital data surveillance and analytics are now encroaching into many social institutions and settings and the ways in which actors and agencies in the digital knowledge economy are appropriating these data. Identifying what is happening and the implications for the concepts of selfhood, body and social relations, not to mention the more specific issues of privacy and the commercialisation and exploitation of personal data, requires much greater attention than these issues have previously received in the critical social research literature. While Gard has begun to do this in his article, there is much more to discuss. In this response, I present some discussion that seeks to provide a complementary commentary on the broader context in which digitised HPE is developing and manifesting. Whether or not one takes a position that is techno-utopian, dystopian or somewhere in between, I would argue that to fully understand the social, cultural and political resonances of digitised HPE, such contextualising is vital.     

The exclusiveness of group identity in celebrations of team success

Basking in reflected glory (BIRGing) describes individuals’ tendency to publicly affiliate themselves with successful others. Within sport, scholars have provided foundational knowledge pertaining to BIRGing; however, they have not deeply engaged with sport fans to understand the influence of multiple group identities in celebrating team success. Using social identity theory and social identity complexity as theoretical frameworks in the current study, I conduct qualitative research with sport fans to understand how multiple group identities influence fan behaviours in response to team performance. I discover that fans (1) BIRG and blast for an enhanced sense of inclusiveness and distinctiveness, and (2) possess multiple, ordinarily inclusive group identities, which converge into a highly exclusive social identity structure immediately before, during, and after games against rivals. I conclude by discussing the potential theoretical and managerial implications regarding multiple group identities in sport contexts, as well as directions for future research.     

Resource utilisation and power relations of community sport clubs in the aftermath of natural disasters

Community sport clubs (CSCs) provide a number of benefits to local communities, while confronting challenges with finances and staffing. In Queensland, Australia, these challenges have been compounded by recent natural disasters including widespread flooding that have significantly impacted operations of CSCs. The current research explores the provision of resources to CSCs in the aftermath of flooding events in 2010 and 2011, as well as the influence on power relations between CSCs and resource providers. To address this research purpose, qualitative data were collected across nine site visits (focus groups, interviews) to affected CSCs. The data revealed three resource providers: volunteers and members, partner organisations and government. In addition, the results indicate that relations between CSCs and members and volunteers, partner organisations and government were impacted in different ways. Examples of resource providers wielding power over CSCs due to the provision of resources emerged, along with some evidence of mutual power and dependence and CSCs exerting power over resource providers. The results provide implications for CSC managers to be more proactive in relation to resourcing through developing strategies for network building and improved communication within networks.     

论高校思想政治理论课教师的角色意识与角色定位

高校思想政治理论课教师的角色意识与角色定位,关系着教师职业素养与课程本质的实现。高校思想政治理论课程特有的功能和特点,要求思想政治理论课教师必须担当起党的理论、方针、政策的宣讲者和大学生健康成长的指导者与引路人的角色。这一角色定位就要求任课教师必须确立自觉的类角色意识、群体角色意识与个人角色意识的综合素养,从而有效实现课程的教育功能,体现课程、学生以及教师自身发展的共同要求,以增强高校思想政治理论课教育教学的实效性。     

从先秦武舞看中华武术套路的审美基因

武术套路的渊源可以追溯到远古时期的武舞。运用文献资料法、逻辑分析法等,从哲学、美学、历史学、文化学、武术学等角度对先秦时期的武舞文化现象重新审视,以期揭示早期武舞所呈现出来的审美特征及其对武术套路所产生的深远影响。研究认为,先秦武舞所具有的"以舞通神、以舞习武、教化功能、中和适度"的特点深刻地影响了武术套路的形式、功能与审美特征,它们在一定程度上可视为中华武术套路审美意识的基因。     

论教育制度变迁

面对教育制度僵化,一个基本的解决办法是推动现有教育制度发生合理的变迁.教育 制度变迁的真正实现,必须具备一些基本的条件.在教育制度变迁过程中,会受到许多因素 的制约并遭遇各种各样的阻力.教育制度变迁过程充满着不确定性和各种风险,但其变迁过程应会遵循一定的规律.     

论教育研究的逻辑起点

逻辑起点是对理论体系和相关研究的基本问题进行回答所依赖的关键概念,直接影响到基本问题的回答,并进而影响整个理论体系和相关研究。教育研究逻辑起点的定位是从现在研究的逻辑起点出发,通过对教育研究逻辑起点的概念及现状分析着手,探讨教育的本质及其内在规定性,从而提出以教育问题为逻辑起点的教育研究。这就要求研究者增强问题意识,以促进教育研究的发展。     

旅游业发展与经济增长关系的实证研究——以湖南省为例

通过建立国内旅游收入、入境旅游外汇收入与GDP之间的经济计量模型,运用协整理论及格兰杰(Granger)因果检验,研究湖南省是否存在旅游主导经济,或者经济带动旅游业发展,并通过模型检验研究了湖南省国内旅游收入、入境旅游外汇收入对经济增长的贡献额度。研究结果表明:湖南省存在旅游主导经济增长,国内旅游收入对经济增长的贡献度较高于入境旅游外汇收入。经济增长对入境旅游业发展有显著影响,但对国内旅游发展影响较小。     

王船山数责朱熹“过于忠”论的原因探究

汉代以来,非议屈原之词甚众,王船山一概弃而不论,却对给予屈原以相对好评的朱熹耿耿于怀,在《楚辞通释》中多次责难朱熹的过于忠论。究其原因,是因为《楚辞通释》的创作目的在于传承蕴含于楚辞之中的刚烈雄健的文化精神,以号召救亡图存运动;朱熹过于忠论所倡导的儒雅温驯的文化精神,与船山的文化精神取向和《楚辞通释》的创作意图相左。
