The purpose of education: pedagogues’ and teachers’ negotiations in Danish primary schools*

In 2014, the Danish primary school system went through a major reform. One main change is the greater participation of pedagogues in school. This is a dramatic change both for teachers and for pedagogues, a distinct profession, traditionally working outside school and representing a creative and social approach to learning and wellbeing. This article examines how teachers and pedagogues in an action research project negotiate their new common work and which understandings of good pedagogical practice these negotiations express. The article shows that international educational rationales about learnification and attainment that are found in the Danish reform, affect the professionals’ understandings of professionalism and educational practices, and that this marginalises some traditional pedagogical practices. However, the article also shows that both pedagogues and teachers critique dominant educational policy rationales and explore what space for action exists in the reform.     

A time to nourish? Evaluating the impact of public procurement on technological generality through patent data

Innovative public procurement is increasingly considered as a form of public support for private innovation activities by both innovation scholars and policymakers. Economic historians have suggested an even more fundamental role of public procurement in setting the pace of technological change, reporting how defense-related procurement has had a major impact on the emergence and diffusion of many general purpose technologies developed in the United States in the 20th century. In this paper, I suggest that procurement might represent one of the most important elements in creating the right soil to ‘cultivate’ a technology that may have the potential to reach high levels of pervasiveness. To test this hypothesis, I make use of patent data and patent citations. I design a quasi-experiment to compare the changes in the level of generality level over time, between a group of treated and a group of control patents. A patent is assigned to the treatment group if it receives a citation from a patent related to public procurement. Results suggest a positive and significant impact of innovative public procurement on the generality of a patent.

心理概念的生活复归——对维特根斯坦《哲学研究》意欲一行动关系的再思考

为消解传统哲学问题,维特根斯坦对心灵与行为的相关问题做了专门论述。他在批评经验主义理论和叔本华哲学理论的基础上,在生活形式的背景下阐明了对该问题的基本看法。他一反视意欲为行动内在动因的传统观点,提出了意欲就是行动的全新看法。维特根斯坦意图再次告诉人们的是,要在生活形式中、在语言游戏中去理解和使用意欲和意图等概念。     

税制改革的中国问题与抉择研究

在税制改革的大概念下,中国税制改革面临着与世界其他国家不同的主要问题有六个:税制终极目的共识的缺乏;税权民意基础的薄弱;"直接税为主,间接税为辅"税制形式格局的缺位;对"征纳两利"税制价值的无视;纳税人主体地位的缺失以及对"为己利他"人性基本规律的藐视等。对这些税制改革主要问题的认定和确立,直接关系着未来中国税制改革的大方向。

体面社会何以可能

近年来,"体面"成为热烈讨论的话题,"体面劳动"和"尊严生活"也被写入政府工作报告。如果说体面劳动表现为劳动者充分享有自己拥有的权利,那么体面社会则表现为一个公正合理的社会对劳动者权利的保障,是劳动者体面生活的强力依附。体面社会何以可能?换句话说就是需要具备什么样的条件,它才能变为现实?关于体面社会的思考,既是把人作为出发点,又是把人作为目的进行阐释的,其维系了价值共识、自由正义和人是目的这样三个维度。
