Framing of transitional pedagogic practices in the sciences: enabling access

Educational literature shows that students from working-class backgrounds are significantly less likely to persist to completion in higher education than middle-class students. This paper draws theoretically and analytically on Bernstein’s ([1990. Class, Codes and Control, Volume IV: The Structuring of Pedagogic Discourse. London: Routledge; 2000. Pedagogy, Symbolic Control, and Identity: Theory, Research, Critique. Lanham: Rowman and Littlefield]) thesis that, through differential framing of pedagogic practices, the curriculum has capacity to accommodate all groups of students. Pedagogic practices in both a science foundation course and four first-year mainstream science courses in a higher education institution in the South African context are examined. Whilst the foundation course exhibits modalities that generally favour access, the mainstream courses have some modalities that appear to be constraining. It is argued from a social justice perspective that holistic curriculum transformations that better enable epistemic transitions are an urgent imperative, and that consideration of differential framing of pedagogic modalities offer a close-up empirical means of conceptualising such reforms.     

论现代刑法的宽容之维

宽容是协调国家、社会和个人之间相互关系的道德和法律准则。现代刑法必备宽容之维源于法治社会中必须充分保障和尊重被告人人权和人性的要求,毕竟被告人实施犯罪除了自身主因之外,还有社会因素的影响和被害人因素的作用。刑法的宽容理念已经在宽严相济刑事政策精神指导下,以刑事和解的方式践行,这种新型方式通过犯罪人和被害人之间真诚协商达成谅解以恢复和睦关系,而且这种宽容理念在《刑法修正案（八）》许多条文中又得到进一步确认,愈发凸显我国刑法深厚的宽容底蕴。     

Social justice,capabilities and the quality of education in low income countries

The paper sets out a theoretical approach for understanding the quality of education in low income countries from a social justice perspective. The paper outlines and critiques the two dominant approaches that currently frame the debate about education quality, namely, the human capital and human rights approaches. Drawing principally on the ideas of Nancy Fraser and Amyarta Sen the paper then sets out an alternative approach based on a theory of social justice and of capabilities. The paper develops an overall understanding of how education quality can be understood in relation to the extent to which it fosters key capabilities that individuals, communities and society in general have reason to value. It then analyses three inter-related dimensions of the quality of education from a social justice perspective. Each dimension is considered in relation to contemporary policy debates and research including the work of EdQual. The first dimension, that of inclusion draws attention to the access of different groups of learners to quality inputs that facilitate the development of their capabilities, the cultural and institutional barriers that impact on the learning of different groups and priorities for overcoming these. The second dimension, that of relevance, is concerned with the extent to which the outcomes of education are meaningful for all learners, valued by their communities and consistent with national development priorities in a changing global context, whilst the third dimension, that of democracy considers how decisions about education quality are governed and the nature of participation in debates at the local, national and global levels. It is argued that a social justice framework can provide an alternative rationale for a policy emphasis on quality that encompasses but goes beyond that provided by human capital and rights approaches; that through emphasising the importance of context and through providing a normative basis for thinking about quality in relation to development, it provides a useful starting point for re-conceptualising education quality and how it can be evaluated; and, that it draws attention to the central importance of public dialogue and debate at the local, national and global levels about the nature of a quality education and quality frameworks at these levels.     

农村纠纷调解中的村治逻辑——对浙东先锋村的政治人类学考察

农村纠纷调解机制嵌入在乡村治理实践的结构性变迁之中,并随着乡村治理逻辑的演变而发生相应变化。对浙东先锋村纠纷调解实践变迁的政治人类学考察表明,20世纪90年代中后期以来,受日益彰显的乡村治理性危机的影响,农村基层组织逐步开始更多地使用策略性调解手段,放弃了对地方性文化共识中纠纷调解规范的严格遵守,而且纠纷调解越来越重视暂时性＂息讼＂协议的达成,其实践呈现出越来越复杂的发展态势。后税费时代,富人当政之后的农村纠纷调解仍然存在类似的问题,治理权力严重受限的农村基层组织不得不采取以现代法律为内在基准,以面子、人情和金钱等可控资源为策略性调解手段的办法来解决村民纠纷。而农村纠纷调解的依附性对当前农村基层组织的发展提出了重要挑战。     

Developing as an Ethical English Teacher: Valuing the Personal and Poetic in Professional Learning

This article draws upon virtue ethics to illustrate the importance of English teachers as ethical professionals. In doing so it focuses attention on the significance of the personal and poetic in professional learning. It is suggested that eschewing the personal and poetic in professional learning may contribute to the de‐professionalisation of English teachers and the commodification of the children they teach. Conversely, acknowledging the personal and poetic liberates teachers of English to develop as ethical professionals who teach for social justice and foster the ethical learning of their students. The article moves from a consideration of the importance of personal values to the value of poetry in professional learning.

学术刊物审稿公平感与投稿意愿关系实证研究

妥善处理退稿是关系到学术期刊提升竞争力、创建良好学术品牌的关键环节。本文以国内某研究型大学的286名有过拒稿经历的年轻学者为对象,采用问卷法,探究在拒稿情况下投稿者的审稿公平对于投稿意愿的影响。研究结果发现:(1)在程序、信息、人际三种审稿公平类型中,信息公平对于投稿意愿有显著的积极影响,并为整体公平感完全中介;(2)版面费对于信息公平与投稿意愿的关系存在正向调节作用,而期刊等级的调节效应不显著;(3)整体公平感是区别于具体公平(程序、人际和信息)的构念,对于投稿意愿有额外的解释效力。     

从法理学角度分析“同命同价”

《侵权责任法》自2010年7月1日施行以来,明确规定我国的死亡赔偿金制度将全面实行统一的标准和尺度.“同命不同价”的社会现状似乎已经退出了历史舞台,这必然推动着我国法治发展进程迈向更加巨大的进步,具有里程碑的重大意义,同时,对我国的法治理念也有重大的借鉴和指导作用.但是,从法理学的角度出发,并且结合我国现阶段不平衡的社会经济状况,显然,这并不完全符合我国法的公平正义的价值理念.“同命同价”在实现真正的公平正义价值的进程中,只是迈出了一小步,未来的道路还会很艰辛.

美国部分请求诉讼理论与实践

司法实践中出现的部分请求诉讼问题不容小觑,但我国对此研究较少。大陆法系德、日等国均在一定程度上承认部分请求。美国法有禁止分割请求原则,这容易让人认为美国不存在部分请求诉讼问题,这其实是观念上的一个误解。为实现个案公平,美国在一些特殊情形下,也承认部分请求。我国可借鉴其部分请求理论与实践,设计实施部分请求的路径,以更大限度地实现个案公平。
