Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries

With support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, The Aspen Institute undertook a multi-year project to bring together thought leaders and experts from different sectors, including libraries, to consider the challenges, opportunities and trends that will influence the future of public libraries in the United States. The resulting report, Rising to the Challenge: Re-Envisioning Public Libraries, was issued in October 2014. The Aspen Institute has embarked upon an ambitious program to ensure that the report will be used in communities across the country and at state and national levels to promote the transformation and sustainability of this important community resource.

Interpreting Cues of Goodness: Thin Sliced Judgment of Malaysians and Chinese towards Political Leaders

Thin slice studies have demonstrated that quick personality inferences of unknown others can be made fairly accurately. Utilizing focus group interviews, the current study examines thin sliced judgments and perceptions of six leaders in the context of goodness. Findings revealed that perceivers were able to form relatively accurate impressions of some leaders based on brief glimpses of nonverbal footage. Across all groups (Malaysian and Chinese) paralinguistic cues, dynamic cues and static cues were instrumental in the formation of positive perceptions of leaders in the context of goodness. These findings have implications for the areas of nonverbal behaviour, political communication, and personality judgement.     

释意理论指导下APEC会议上领导人讲话汉英口译

释意理论指出,口译的目的在于传递信息或意义,而意义是语言知识和非语言知识相结合的产物。口译领导人讲话时,译员要抓住源语的核心意思,通过逻辑推理“脱离源语语言外壳”,忠实、准确地对原意进行完整转达。     

Learning to mentor: unravelling routine practice to develop adaptive mentoring expertise

While studies have shown that mentoring is central to new teacher development, few investigations have examined what mentors learn about themselves as mentors. The purpose of the study was to illuminate mentor learning. The article reports on two case studies that investigated the development of mentoring expertise over a two-year period. During this period, the two mentor participants were engaged in a professional development intervention focused on fostering mentoring expertise. Data sources included transcribed professional conversations, interviews and action research documentation. Analysis of these data found that despite good intentions, mentors’ preconceptions of their role were difficult to change. Where substantive change was evident, there was a conceptual shift from a focus on mentee and student learning to include mentor learning. The study suggests that the development of mentor expertise is complex and cannot be assumed. The complexity associated with letting go of deeply ingrained beliefs and practices to develop mentoring expertise is illuminated in the dynamic interaction between the school context, the mentor’s preconceptions and re-conceptualisation of their role along with the on-going assessment of professional learning opportunities.
