What troubles early childhood educators in New Zealand: a 20-year cross-sectional study of ethical difficulties in early childhood practice

For more than 20 years, the New Zealand early childhood (EC) sector has had guidance about how to deal with situations of ethical difficulty in daily practice through the ECE Code of Ethics. This paper reports on three surveys undertaken at 10-year intervals that sought to understand EC educators’ experiences of such situations, and how they addressed them within their EC settings. An analysis of educators’ stories of ethically troubling situations from the three data-sets traced shifts and similarities in the content reported, and in how educators responded to these challenges over the two-decade period. We situate this analysis alongside changes in the New Zealand ECE policy context during the same time frame. We argue that a connection exists between the reported situations and teachers’ responses to them, and changes within the policy and professional context of daily EC practice.     

Admiration,attraction and the aesthetics of exemplarity

ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to show that an aesthetics of exemplarity could be a useful component of projects of moral self-cultivation. Using Linda Zagzebski’s exemplarism, I describe a distinctive, aesthetically-inflected mode of admiration called moral attraction whose object is the inner beauty of a person—the expression of the ‘inner’ virtues or excellences of character of a person in ‘outer’ forms of bodily comportment that are experienced, by others, as beautiful. I then argue that certain moral traditions deploy inner beauty within their practices of moral self-cultivation—a good example being Confucianism. Advocates of exemplarist moral education should therefore take seriously the ways that an aesthetics of exemplarity can play roles within projects of moral self-cultivation.     

Learning outdoors and living well? Conceptual prospects for enhancing curriculum planning and pedagogical practices

In aiming to support school-based outdoor learning opportunities, this paper critiques the extent to which Deweyan and neo-Aristotelian theorising is helpful in highlighting how personal growth and practical wisdom gains can be realised. Such critique is necessary, as there are signs of an implementation gap between practice and policy, which is made worse by a lack of conceptual clarity about how educational aspirations can be dependably achieved. Dewey’s habit-forming social constructivist emphasis on learning and problem-solving is reviewed and the prospects of a neo-Aristotelian conception of human flourishing, which recognises that virtues are nurtured as moral sensitivities, are then considered. Concerns that Dewey’s writings are often vague on how ideas can be operationalised and criticisms that Aristotle’s educational thoughts rather over-privilege cognition relative to emotions are also addressed. The article concludes by teasing out suggestions on how Deweyan and neo-Aristotelian ideas on learning might coherently inform curriculum planning and pedagogical practices.

简论公私伦理冲突的现实性维度——国家与社会关系框架下的市民社会理论演变

作为一种构建社会秩序的理论,市民社会理论一直致力于界定国家与社会之间的关系。与之相应,市民社会理论的核心问题——公与私的矛盾,必然成为国家与社会现实架构中的内在关照。国家与社会之间的关系,深刻反映或集中体现了这个核心矛盾。     

How autonomy support and ethical value alignment influences attitudes towards diversity in English police

ABSTRACT

Antagonism towards diversity, an attitude reflecting low egalitarian ethical values, has been a topic within policing that has received increasing attention in the last decade. Using two-wave data and applying self-determination theory, we investigated how autonomy support versus autonomy frustration, ways of being motivated either through encouraging one’s sense of volition, or otherwise, coercing and imposing pressures, can improve diversity attitudes through its relation with ethical values. Study 1 (n= 398 police officers and staff) found that autonomy-supportive communications fostered ethical values, and hence was negatively related to diversity antagonism. Study 2 (n= 859 police officers and staff) indicated that motivation to overcome prejudice mediates the relationship between ethical values and diversity antagonism. Perceptions of workplace culture as lacking in autonomy support acted as a boundary condition for the ethical values and diversity antagonism relationship; no relationship was present when autonomy support was low.     

阿夫季:当代“耶稣”

置身于当代社会的前苏联作家艾特玛托夫是一个具有先知、良知的忧郁者,他自觉地负荷着时代的痛苦,对人类的关怀令作者上下求索。１９８６年,他推出新作长篇小说《断头台》,在这部小说中,他塑造了一个酷似基督教的“耶稣”形象——阿夫季,但作者笔下的“耶稣”形象失去了重要的宗教因素,“上帝”是新的“上帝”,“耶稣”是当代的“耶稣”,是人类社会善与美的追求者,是真理与正义的探险者与殉难者。     

新时代研究生思想政治教育探析

研究生教育是大学教育的最高层次,是知识生产能力系统化规划化培养的最后环节。研究生教育的自身规律决定了研究生思想政治教育具有特殊性,外部环境的改变致使研究生思政教育不再是大学生思政教育的尾巴,甚至成为大学生思想政治教育的重要时期;研究生思政教育是大学思政教育的标杆,其成效还发挥着传帮带作用。当前,我国研究生思政教育在课程体系、体制机制和专业队伍等方面存在缺憾,构建系统化的理论课程体系,健全体制机制,推动工作队伍向理论化、专业化和高端化发展是强化研究生思想政治教育的必由之路。
