On 'The Myth of the Learning Society'

A recent critique by Hughes and Tight (1995) argued that the 'Learning Society' and related notions of productivity and change are 'myths'. In response, it is argued here that myth should not be confused with ideological distortion. The rhetorical dimension of current initiatives is a necessary feature of theoretical formulation, intended to influence public discussion and policy-making. The concepts of productivity and change are reconsidered in a wider historical dimension and the communitarian aspects of the project are shown to have a more positive significance in the light of, for example, recent work by Beck and Giddens on 'reflexivity' and 'risk'. It is acknowledged that faith in the application of technological solutions to societal learning challenges is frequently misplaced. But fear that the project's aims might be subverted by interests hostile to humane educational values is insufficient reason for such scepticism, which is too narrowly grounded and is misdirected.

Contemporary Classics? The Early Onset of Influence of Articles Published in Criminology and Criminal Justice Journals, 2010–2015

Citation analysis is a valuable method for tracking the growth and transmission of scientific knowledge. In criminology and criminal justice, such analyses tend to be focused on “classic” works or on highly cited scholars over many years. As an alternative approach, we focus on work that has been cited rather quickly – what we term the “early onset” of impact. In doing so, we identified 221 of the most highly cited peer-reviewed articles, authored by 480 scholars, which were published in criminology and criminal justice journals between 2010 and 2015. Analyses reveal wide variation in substantive topics and methodological approaches, as well as a substantial gender gap with respect to authorship. Additional analyses provide insight into both journal and institutional/program prestige. We conclude with directions for future research and stress the importance of tracking over time articles that appear to be off to an early start with respect to scholarly impact.     

‘Write every day!’: a mantra dismantled

Numerous books, blogs, and articles on research productivity exhort academics to ‘write every day’ even during the busiest of teaching times. Ironically, however, this research-boosting advice hangs from a perilously thin research thread. This article scrutinises the key findings of Robert Boice, whose pioneering studies of ‘professors as writers’ in the 1980s and 1990s are still widely cited today, and offers new empirical evidence to suggest that the writing practices of successful academics are in fact far more varied and individualistic than has generally been acknowledged in the literature.

传播视角的介入:社会发展的内在逻辑及其前瞻

从人类发展史和传播史的角度来看，传播推动了社会发展；从生产力的角度来看，传播是生产力发展的内在要素；从社会发展的内在逻辑来看，传播使生产力得以迅速扩张，成为社会得以迅速发展并固化为一种稳定形态的必须突破的瓶颈；在信息社会中，传播的发展使时空被高度压缩，信息流以电速流动，将给未来社会带来一些根本性的变化。     

Technology Knowledge and Use: A Survey of Science Educators

The purpose of this study was to determine the current state of technology use and know-how among members of the Association for the Education of Teachers in Science. A web-based survey site and an e-mail merge invited members to participate in the study. The survey examined the differences between current and desired levels of knowledge about using technology as an instructional tool, to support research, to enhance productivity in classroom applications, and to enhance data collection and analysis. Large mean differences about using technology as an instructional tool were found, including: (1) teaching students at a distance, (2) database applications, and (3) desktop publishing. Small mean differences were found for telecommunications and word processing.

从“生产力标准“到“代表先进社会生产力的发展要求“

"生产力标准"和"代表先进社会生产力的发展要求"是邓小平、江泽民分别于不同的时代条件下在生产力方面作出的主要理论贡献,其提出经历了一个科学的历史过程。在论述两者的具体涵义和提出过程的基础上,详细阐述了后者对前者的继承和创新。
