社科期刊匿名审稿缘何难实行

我国实行匿名审稿制度的社科期刊很少,原因在于编辑主体对匿名审稿制度的认识不足,社科期刊界尚未形成良好的匿名审稿大气候,审稿专家难找且需要一定的经济支出.基于此,应提高编辑认识,重视匿名审稿;学习先进期刊,建立匿名审稿制度;充分调查研究,制订行业规范;建立审稿专家库,增加投入,解决审稿费用.     

Extending WHIRL with background knowledge for improved text classification

Intelligent use of the many diverse forms of data available on the Internet requires new tools for managing and manipulating heterogeneous forms of information. This paper uses WHIRL, an extension of relational databases that can manipulate textual data using statistical similarity measures developed by the information retrieval community. We show that although WHIRL is designed for more general similarity-based reasoning tasks, it is competitive with mature systems designed explicitly for inductive classification. In particular, WHIRL is well suited for combining different sources of knowledge in the classification process. We show on a diverse set of tasks that the use of appropriate sets of unlabeled background knowledge often decreases error rates, particularly if the number of examples or the size of the strings in the training set is small. This is especially useful when labeling text is a labor-intensive job and when there is a large amount of information available about a particular problem on the World Wide Web.

ICPSR meets OAIS: applying the OAIS reference model to the social science archive context

This paper reviews the archival process at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), a repository of digital social science data, and maps ICPSR’s Ingest and Access operations to the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model. The paper also assesses ICPSR’s conformance with the archival responsibilities of “trusted” OAIS repositories, with the proviso that audit criteria for archival certification are still under development. The ICPSR to OAIS mapping exercise has benefits for the larger social science archiving community because it provides an interpretation of the reference model in the quantitative social science environment and points to preservation-related issues that may be salient for other social science archives. Building on the archives’ long tradition of shared norms and cooperation, we may ultimately be able to design a federated system of trusted social science repositories that provides access to the global heritage.

“科玄之战”的价值之思

20世纪初在中国思想文化界发生的"科玄之战"一直受到学界关注,然而人们较为重视的是科学能否指导人生观及由此引发的西方科学主义与中国传统文化的冲突如何消解,至于论战事件的内容及形式对我国现实社会民主制度建设与科学文化发展,对中华民族文化主体意识的真正觉醒和社会全面进步所具有的现实意义,还有许多方面值得深入研究与探讨,面向21世纪的中国仍然需要完成在科学与文化的融合中实现社会全面进步的历史使命。     

论知识经济与高校创新型外语人才的培养

80年代末以前提出的具有"听说读写译"基本技能的工具型外语人才以及80年代末提出的既懂外语又懂某一专业知识的"复合型外语人才"已不能满足一些岗位的更高要求。知识经济时代需要有一批更为尖端的外语专业人才,即创新型人才,他们能在国际交流中独当一面,能够创新性地开展工作。本文首先指出知识经济环境下我国大学教育面临的普遍问题,在此基础上提出培养创新型外语人才的必要性,并对其培养模式作出有益的探讨。     

Providing Bottom-Up Support to Middle School Science Teachers’ Reform Efforts in Using Inquiry-Based Kits

Middle grades science teachers need professional support in practice as they implement new inquiry-based science. Professional development schools can provide this bottom-up support through connecting preservice and inservice teacher education programs in classroom practice. In this study, coteaching arrangements with secondary science education majors provided additional teachers in the classroom to support a materials-rich curriculum and the needed associated pedagogies. Science education majors provided needed assistance in troubleshooting difficulties with the new curriculum. They also provided needed content knowledge to support inquiry, along with creating moments and space for teachers to reflect on inquiry practice. Ongoing assistance by preservice teachers allowed inservice teachers to progress from logistical concerns in implementing kit curriculum to concerns regarding student learning and the supporting professional development.

The lamaze certified childbirth educator: standards of practice

A student in a Lamaze Childbirth Educator Program expresses concern that some Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educators (LCCE educators) do not teach classes that reflect Lamaze standards. In this column, the ethical and professional standards of the LCCE educator and the challenges the childbirth educator experiences while practicing in the current maternity-care environment are presented and discussed. Lamaze International's Code of Ethics for Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educators provides guidance when dealing with these challenges.     

论“七艺”之流变

"七艺"是西方教育史上的核心概念之一,也是西方很长时间内的主要教育内容,与自由教育、通识教育等理念密不可分.本文将"七艺"的演变分为古希腊、古罗马、中世纪早期、中世纪晚期四个阶段,探讨了这一概念形成的历史过程,并通过课程的视角考察其在西方教育中的制度化过程.文章指出,笼统地说"古希腊罗马的七艺"是不准确的,"七艺"的概念成型于古罗马晚期,并与基督教有不可割裂的联系,它主要是一个属于中世纪与基督教的概念.
