Growing up in a tourist destination: developing an environmental sensitivity

Abstract

This paper explores how the socio-cultural milieu of a community may foster a sense of environmental stewardship among children and young people. Ethnographic fieldwork, carried out in a popular tourist destination in Australia, revealed that the overt impacts of tourism activity such as littering provoke negative feelings among children and young people; these perceptions can in turn translate into a sensitivity towards the environment. While debated in some circles, a Significant Life Experiences (SLE) lens is useful in understanding children and young people’s lived experiences of – and sensitivity to - environmental issues in the communities where they are raised. SLE is employed in this article to explore how a sense of stewardship towards the environment is developed among children and young people growing up in a tourist destination. Findings suggest they actively contribute to protecting the environment in a variety of ways from regular beach clean ups and educating visiting tourists to participating in rallies and anti-development protests.

Student formation in higher education: teachers’ approaches matter

Teaching in higher education encompasses more than merely helping students develop knowledge and skills. It entails engaging students in their own formation as persons, professionals and citizens. From this perspective, this article investigates how approaches to teaching academic writing contribute to formation. By analysing a case from initial teacher education in Norway, we identify and examine one teacher educator’s beliefs about writing and his approaches to teaching writing. Theoretical framework rests on six discourses of writing developed by Roz Ivani? and on the formative possibilities and constraints embedded in these different literacy discourses. Thus, we provide students’ experien-ces with this teacher’s approaches and discuss what formation his approaches seem to have initiated. The findings point to the need for more critical reflection on the formative impact of teaching approaches in higher education more generally.     

邓小平战略思维的形成与发展

战略思维就是关于全局性思维。邓小平战略思维反映了在和平与发展的时代条件下 ,我国改革开放和社会主义现代化建设新时期的时代精神。邓小平战略思维是对我国社会主义胜利和挫折历史经验的科学总结 ,是改革开放和现代化建设的新鲜经验的总结 ,是对其它社会主义国家兴衰成败历史经验的总结 ,是对世界经济发展新经验和科学技术革命新成就的概括和吸取。研究邓小平的战略思维无论是对邓小平理论的丰富和拓展 ,还是对面向未来的中国发展战略的把握 ,都具有重要的理论和现实意义。     

Learning science through writing: associations with prior conceptions of writing and perceptions of a writing program

Students in a large undergraduate biology course were expected to write a scientific report as a key part of their course design. This study investigates the quality of learning arising from the writing experience and how it relates to the quality of students’ preconceptions of learning through writing and their perceptions of their writing program that led to their report. Closed‐ended questionnaires investigating student conceptions and perceptions of writing, and approaches to writing, were completed by 121 students. Significant associations were found amongst qualitatively different prior and post conceptions of writing, approaches to writing and achievement. The results of the analyses suggest that the effective support of student experiences of writing reports requires teachers to be aware of the type of conceptions that students bring to their course and the perceptions they hold about the purpose of the writing program in which they are engaged.     

绘画观察谈

绘画观察的目的是为绘画有选择地寻求自然形态中那些具有审美价值的因素，只有运用正确的观察方法才能全面地认识客体。这就需要对客体有选择地、深入细致地进行观察，需要对客体进行整体的及在思维的参与下的观察。同时，要提高主体的主观认识、艺术修养和审美能力，才能更好地把握客体中的审美因素。要了解不同化背景和观念形成的不同的观察方式，才能更有助于绘画的表现。
