Developing a virtual engineering management community

The paper reviews the lessons of planning and running an Engineering Management practitioner development programme in a partnership between BP and the University of Manchester. This distance-learning programme is for professional engineers in mid-career experienced in the engineering and support activities for delivering safe, compliant and reliable projects and operations worldwide. The programme concentrates on the why and how of leadership and judgement in managing the engineering of large and small projects and operational support. Two intensive residential weeks are combined with a virtual learning environment over one year. Assessed assignments between and after the residential weeks provide opportunities for individual reflective learning for each delegate through applying concepts and the lessons of case studies to their experience, current challenges and expected responsibilities. This successful partnership between a major global company and a university rich in research and teaching required a significant dedication of intellectual and leadership effort by all concerned. The rewards for both parties and most importantly for the engineers themselves are extensive.

Re/assembling ‘innovative’ learning environments: Affective practice and its politics

Abstract

In this article, we argue that the interest being taken by governments in establishing innovative learning environments (ILEs) in schools relies on a conception of space as a largely neutral arena. In consequence, relations of space and power inherent in the infrastructural shift to ILEs tend to drop from view. Adopting an assemblage approach to investigating learning environments, and exploring ILEs as they are playing out in Australian schools, we strive to surface what drops from view. Taking ILEs to be sociomaterial assemblages, we work with empirical material and trace how they assemble and reassemble. The account is less concerned with what works in ILEs; rather, its focus is on their ‘workings’ as assemblages of relations and most particularly, affective relations. Thus, we explore two affective encounters involving school leaders, teachers and students showing the ways in which they position and are positioned within ILEs. The argument is made that the assemblage approach which is non-deterministic and relational affords new ways of understanding what ILEs are and how they work and who they work for. And, that attending to affective practice brings into view the micropolitics through which infrastructural shifts and infrastructural policy-making are made.     

汉语中级精读教材的分析与思考

"学术传教"与"以教引实"--从中西天道观看晚明基督教入华

自然意义的天道是恒常而不可变更的，社会意义的天道则随着时代和社会的变化而变化，神性意义的天道则具有永恒性、主宰性。道德形上学意义的天道观虽有其变化的一面，但其核心始终是“仁义礼智，天道在人”的观念。从西方思想文化来看，与中国文化中的天道观相对应的是其神论。大体上说来，西方神论的历史演变是从古希腊的多元神论开始，经过理性思辨的上帝观的洗礼，并与希伯来惟信传统的上帝观相结合，终而形成了基督教的上帝观。中西天道观的相通之处使基督教得以在中国传播，并为部分晚明学人所接受，而二者之间的差异则决定了基督教东传的种种曲折与反复，决定了基督教传教士与晚明学人之间的差异。前者旨在“学术传教”，而后者则重在“以教引实”。     

新疆师范大学民考民／民考汉少数民族学生外语学习过程中学习策略应用的调查报告

文章作者对新疆师范大学178名在校少数民族大学生英语学习过程中学习策略的应用情况进行了调查。调查结果表明：1．受试的178名少数民族学生最赞成形式操练观念和功能操练观念；2．形式操练观念和功能操练观念成正相关关系,这说明绝大多数受试者认为传统学习方法和交际学习法都对外语学习的进步有帮助；3．这些少数民族学生在学习外语过程中,更加依赖母语,缺乏自我管理意识,还有相当一部分学生语言学习焦虑感较强,表层动机也显得较低。

借鉴企业营销优化高校管理

在市场经济体制下,高等教育面对外部激烈竞争和内部问题,应借鉴现代企业营销管理变革传统封闭的管理方式。高校营销在产品属性、营销目标、服务对象、受公众监督程度等方面呈现出与企业营销不同的特征。高校管理者应做到:(1)重构与营销管理相适应的大学组织体系和运行机制;(2)建立高质量的营销信息体系;(3)建立科学的市场定位战略;(4)在教育内容上求变求新求差异,营造自己的品牌特色。同时有效运用营销组合的“7P”策略。     

从对比分析角度看英语、汉语中"词化"程度的比较

在英语、汉语中普遍存在着"词化"现象(Lexicalization)。然而在某些表达形式上,英语"词化"程度要比汉语高。从"对比分析"(Contrastive Analysis)理论角度,对英、汉两种语言中文字、形态、句式以及认知因素等方面进行对比分析,不但能够找到"词化"程度产生差异的原因,还能为当今外语教学提供有益借鉴。
