Ecological influences on teachers’ well-being and “fitness”

The complex and ever-changing nature of teachers’ work challenges their well-being. Teacher well-being and “fitness” includes versatility, mental strength, and commitment to promote effective teaching and learning. In framing this notion, we seek to understand the ecological influences impacting on teacher well-being and “fitness” in the twenty-first century. Drawing on the ecological theory of Bronfenbrenner, this interpretive qualitative study explored the perceptions of pre-service teachers in relation to their teacher well-being and “fitness.” Data were collected from a teacher well-being survey completed by 120 final-year undergraduate pre-service teachers. The survey shed light on themes at four levels: the microsystem (individual and collective capacities); mesosystem (interrelationships between contexts); exosystem (organisational); and macrosystem (societal and legislative influences), compounded by the influence of time at the chronosystem level. These ecological influences were perceived to impact on teacher well-being and ability to be “fit” for sustained performance.     

Participants' Personal Perceptions of Mentoring

This study is an investigation of the views and perceptions held by one group of mentors, mentees and university lecturers about the recent policy changes in Initial Teacher Training (ITT) which have led to the closer collaboration between Higher Education Institutions (HEls) and schools under the umbrella of partnership.

It takes the form of a survey and uses a structured questionnaire and semi‐structured interviews as its source of data collection.

It then analyses and interprets the data obtained with the aim of using the information gathered to make recommendations for the future of partnership.     

The integration of biodiversity education in the initial education of primary school teachers: four comparative case studies from Europe

In this article, we present results from an international research study on biodiversity education in pre‐service education of primary school teachers. The study was carried out between 2004–2006 in four teacher education institutions in Cyprus, England, Switzerland and Germany. We used document analyses and in‐depth interviews with 27 teacher educators and 22 student teachers to examine the integration of biodiversity into the pre‐service teacher education programmes, and the student teachers’ satisfaction with their respective education. In all teacher education institutions, aspects of biodiversity education were integrated mostly in the natural science modules which provided students at least with some information on the scientific aspects of biodiversity. Few modules included aspects of the controversial nature of biodiversity conservation in relation to economics, ethics, social and political concerns, and methodological approaches on how to deal with this. In the institutions in Cyprus, England and Germany the teaching focus was content‐oriented, whereas in Switzerland a situated method‐oriented approach was used. The student teachers in Switzerland felt more confident to teach about biodiversity in school. All interviewees thought it necessary to prepare primary school student teachers on how to address biodiversity in schools, and strategies on how best to achieve this are critically discussed.     

面向区域的初始水权配置系统模型构建

将流域内不同行政区域作为初始水权配置对象,在构建面向区域的初始水权配置系统、剖析初始水权配置系统内涵与特征基础上,从社会、经济、生态环境及协调发展角度,确定初始水权配置系统的发展目标,提出初始水权配置系统应遵循的基本原则,通过构建各分配原则下的目标满意度函数,建立初始水权配置系统多目标优化模型,实现流域内各行政区域初始水权的合理配置。并结合大凌河流域进行案例分析,将模型配置结果与水利部批复的大凌河流域水量分配方案进行对比分析,验证模型的可行性与实效性。     

Second year teacher candidates reflect on information technology in ontario secondary schools: how it is being used and the challenges it presents

Abstract

This article documents observations of pre-service teachers about how both students and teachers are using information technology in 374 secondary classrooms in Ontario, Canada. Also reported are some of the challenges that have resulted since the advent of this technology in these schools. The findings have direct implications for teacher education. Not only must teacher candidates learn how to use and apply this new technology, but they must be made aware of other issues (such as classroom management issues) stemming from the integration of information technology in the classroom. Teacher education programs must remain current: one way of doing this is to investigate ongoing classroom practices and issues. This article helps to identify both     

留学生与国立中央研究院（1928-1949）

国立中央研究院是近代中国第一个全国性的最高学术研究机构,其成立标志着中国近代有系统的科学研究事业的开端。从其1928年正式成立到1949年迁台未果,在这20余年间,归国留学生为其做了大量工作。从最初的拟议、筹备到成立后初期的运行发展,蔡元培院长、杨铨和丁文江等总干事以及担任筹备委员的众多归国留学生积极为其出谋划策,使其在短时期内初具规模,并取得了许多引人注目的成绩。抗战期间,留学生们更是义不容辞地担负起保护各研究所仪器设备的责任。抗战胜利后,以留学生为主体的评议员积极筹划第一届院士的选举,为其顺利进行立下了汗马功劳。中央研究院形成了一套比较完整的组织、管理体系,取得了丰硕的科研成果,这为新中国的科学发展奠定了坚实的基础,提供了宝贵的经验。留学生们不仅把西方科学移植到中国,而且把西方研究科学的机构体制也移植到国内,对近代中国科学事业的发展贡献突出。     

中国特色社会主义理论体系的历史方位

避开资本主义而实现现代化,这是科学社会主义的一种追求。俄国十月革命开创了非资本主义道路实现现代化的探索,这是它的伟大意义之一。但苏联未能成功地找到这条道路,中国特色社会主义理论体系为探寻非资本主义现代化道路提供理论指针;落后国家无产阶级取得政权后,常出现"超越阶段,急于过渡"的错误,原因在于对本国所处的社会主义发展阶段缺乏清醒的认识和准确的把握,社会主义初级阶段理论的提出,架起了联结经典社会主义和现实社会主义的理论之桥;中国特色社会主义理论体系彰显了马克思主义与时俱进、开拓创新的理论品质。
