In a practical mood: Studying for a profession in the changing kibbutz

The influence of recent social and economicchanges in the Israeli kibbutz on the prolongedstage of youth was examined with respect tohigher education. The young people on thekibbutz of the late 1990s appear lessmoratorial and more instrumental about theirfuture and commence higher education earlierthan in previous age cohorts. When starting tostudy, their educational and professionalprospects are crystalized as those of thenon-kibbutz student. Most of them opt foracademic, degree-granting studies, but a higherpercentage than among the general populationprefer vocation-oriented colleges to theresearch oriented universities. In choosingfields of study, they prefer more appliedstudies like engineering, social services andpractical arts and are less likely to choosesciences and the humanities. De-communalizationand economic instability of the kibbutz,inadequate preparation in kibbutz high schoolsfor the competitive admission to theuniversities, exposure to a restricted range ofoccupations during adolescence, and lack of acultural tradition supportive of elitiststudies may explain this practical mood, moresalient among kibbutz women.     

特色鲜明的加拿大家政课程

我国以往的社会科课程研究，比较多地关注美国和日本，对其他国家的课程研究涉猎有限。在基础教育改革向纵深发展的今天，我们有必要进一步放宽眼界，从各国的社会科课程建设中获得启示。文章正是出于这个目的，围绕加拿大安大略省《社会与人文课程标准(9-10年级)》(1999年版)，着重介绍了其中的家政学习内容和方式，希望借此增进我们对社会科这门综合课程的理解。     

Making sense of learner and learning Big Data: reviewing five years of Data Wrangling at the Open University UK

Most distance learning institutions collect vast amounts of learning data. Making sense of this ‘Big Data’ can be a challenge, in particular when data are stored at different data warehouses and require advanced statistical skills to interpret complex patterns of data. As a leading institute on learning analytics, the Open University UK instigated in 2012 a Data Wrangling initiative. This provided every Faculty with a dedicated academic with expertise data analysis and whose task is to provide strategic, pedagogical and sense-making advice to staff and senior management. Given substantial changes within the OU (e.g. new Faculty structure, real-time dashboards, two large-scale adoptions of predictive analytics approaches, increased reliance on analytics), this embedded case study provides an in-depth review of lessons learned of five years of data wrangling. We will elaborate on the design of the new structure, its strengths and potential weaknesses, and affordances to be adopted by other institutions.     

英、汉难易结构对比

在Chomsky(1977，1982)和Kim（1996）的研究基础上，将英、汉难易结构进行了对比。一方面，英、汉难易结构具有相同参数值，另一方面，表面形态是难易结构的句子，在英文中只能理解成难易结构，而在汉语中，它有时还可理解成“假”难易结构。此外，在英文中，难易结构的语义只能由难易结构表达，而在汉语里，它还可以由“被动”难易结构表达。最后，也许正是由于英、汉难易结构在参数值方面的同一和他们在各自语言体系中与相关结构的关系方面的不同一，导致以汉语为母语的习得者学习英文难易结构的困难。     

Growing up in a tourist destination: developing an environmental sensitivity

Abstract

This paper explores how the socio-cultural milieu of a community may foster a sense of environmental stewardship among children and young people. Ethnographic fieldwork, carried out in a popular tourist destination in Australia, revealed that the overt impacts of tourism activity such as littering provoke negative feelings among children and young people; these perceptions can in turn translate into a sensitivity towards the environment. While debated in some circles, a Significant Life Experiences (SLE) lens is useful in understanding children and young people’s lived experiences of – and sensitivity to - environmental issues in the communities where they are raised. SLE is employed in this article to explore how a sense of stewardship towards the environment is developed among children and young people growing up in a tourist destination. Findings suggest they actively contribute to protecting the environment in a variety of ways from regular beach clean ups and educating visiting tourists to participating in rallies and anti-development protests.

对一位大班数学学习困难儿童的个案研究——重点考察幼儿园和家庭环境中的负面因素

目前关于数学学习困难儿童的研究大多关注其行为表现和认知特征,较少涉及其生活环境中的负面因素。本研究以一名大班数学学习困难儿童为研究对象,通过对儿童本人及老师、父母和同伴的访谈以及对儿童日常活动的观察,对其生活环境中的负面因素进行分析,为认识早期数学学习困难儿童的发生、形成和持续的原因提供了一个生态视角。研究结果表明,数学学习困难儿童在师幼交互、同伴友谊、家庭环境、父母教育方法、亲子关系等诸多方面有负面经历,而这些经历直接或间接地影响了儿童的数学学习。
