What is meant by inclusion? An analysis of European and North American journal articles with high impact

The purpose of this review is to further our knowledge about what is meant by inclusion in research addressing the topic. While it is common to remark that inclusion is defined in different ways in research, few attempts have been made to map and analyse different types of definitions and whether there are patterns to be find in how the concept is used. The 30 most cited journal articles from a North American and a European research arena were selected for analysis. Each article was analysed in relation to genre, theoretical tradition and inclusion concept used. The review yielded several important results. To name a few, a divide was identified between position articles, with developed discussions about and analyses of the meaning of inclusion, and empirical articles, where inclusion signifies that children with disabilities are placed in the mainstream. In addition, writing within a critical theoretical tradition was much more common among positional papers. Further, both arenas are dominated by Anglo-Saxon researchers. It is argued that the conceptual confusion characterising the field impedes its development.

好莱坞电影类型演变与话语方式之间的张力

通过对好莱坞电影类型演变的关注研究,认为单一类型的历史演变过程,不仅是对基本文化主题反复言说的过程,还是与具体的社会和文化互动的过程。经典好莱坞时期的类型电影形成了独特的话语方式,来进行意义表达与社会评论。同一时期的不同类型可以具备相似的社会评论,不同时期的同一类型可以具备迥异的意义表达,主题的更新重塑可以推动类型的发展、变化、消亡。类型话语方式与类型历史演变之间的张力始终存在,成为好莱坞电影类型演变历史中不可忽视的一部分。

English language learners and kindergarten entry age: Achievement and social-emotional effects

In evaluating the role of kindergarten entry age, previous researchers have not examined the entry-age effects for English language learners (ELL). Additionally, little work has assessed the role of entry age on both achievement and social-emotional outcomes. This study is the first to do both simultaneously. The authors used data from a longitudinal study that followed a national sample of U.S. students from kindergarten through Grade 5. Relying on variation in children's birth dates and in states' kindergarten entrance age cutoffs, the authors estimated how differences in the age at which children enroll in kindergarten are related to their achievement and social-emotional outcomes. Our results show that enrolling in kindergarten as an older entrant is associated with significantly higher achievement and social-behavioral outcomes during the early elementary school years for ELL students, but that these effects largely disappear by the end of elementary school. Policy implications are addressed.     

审美理想主义与乡村散文创作

中国的诗文审美文化即乐感文化，是审美理想主义滋生形成的土壤和基础。这种审美理想主义对我国现当代散文特别是“乡村散文”创作的负面影响尤为明显。其影响之所以至今余绪不断，也与“另一部分作家”对“另一种文章”的迷恋和寻找有关。欲振兴“乡村散文”创作，必得要糅入“杂感文”的“否定性”因子，如此，“乡村散文”创作才有生机和潜力。     

反思与期待:教师专业化背景下的教育实习

我国目前高师教育实习观念偏狭、目标简单化、过程形式化及指导教师与实习场地的匮乏,其原因源于教师专业化认识上的迷茫和工具理性主义的教师教育理论取向.要改变这种状况,我们必须树立先进的教师教育观念,重构现代教育实习观,实现教育实习目标、活动形式、管理机制及指导与评价的转变.
