A quiet revolution – International influence,domestic elites and the transformation of higher technical education in Ireland 1959–72

The upgrading of higher technical education which began in the 1960s marked the most influential intervention by the Irish government in the third-level sector since the establishment of the independent Irish state. A series of reforming initiatives extended educational opportunity and transformed the status of technical education at higher level. International pressures undoubtedly proved influential in stimulating policy change. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) encouraged far-reaching reforms through its critical evaluation of educational facilities for technical training in Ireland. But educational reform was not imposed by international agencies on a reluctant corps of national politicians and officials. International influences dovetailed with changing attitudes toward technical education within the Irish political and official elite. Leading politicians and public officials showed an increasing awareness that the previous neglect of technical education was untenable in an era of economic development and educational expansion. It was a timely combination of international scrutiny and domestic political re-appraisal, which triggered a radical restructuring and expansion of higher technical education in Ireland.

刍议都铎时代的圈地运动

都铎王朝统治时期 ,英国社会处于从封建制度向资本主义制度过渡的历史阶段 ,即资本原始积累时期。作为原始积累的方式之一 ,圈地运动在都铎时代第一次达到高潮 ,它是 14 - 15世纪英国社会大变动的产物。都铎时代的圈地狂潮具有直接暴力的典型特征 ,它包括掠夺公共土地、侵占农民份地、没收教会土地等等。圈地运动使耕地减少、牧场增加 ,这只是一种表面现象 ,由圈地引起的新旧生产关系的消长 ,反映了英国农业社会中资本主义成长的实质。就都铎时代圈地运动对封建生产关系的扫荡作用而言 ,它的历史意义决不在 17世纪中叶的政治革命之下。

Is It a Challenge or a Threat? A Dual-Process Model of Teachers' Cognition and Appraisal Processes During Conceptual Change

What accounts for well-meaning teachers' lack of implementation of subject-matter reforms, such as making one's classroom centered on problem solving, even when they positively value the reform and believe they are implementing it in their classrooms? Teachers' subject-matter beliefs may constrain them from adopting practices that conflict with those beliefs. The purpose of this article is to propose a theoretical model, the Cognitive–Affective Model of Conceptual Change, that integrates key findings from overly cognitive models of belief change with motivational and affective factors found in social psychology theory and research. This model explains why teachers' beliefs about instruction are resistant to reforms that challenge their existing beliefs, and it provides a conceptual framework within which to devise a better means of advancing teachers' beliefs and supporting them in the process of implementation.     

北宋中期骚体赋风的演变

北宋中期，在经世致用思潮的影响下，文人们建功立业的热情高温，屈骚忧国忧民、反抗现实的传统披发扬光大，骚体创作勃然而兴。蔡裹、王令诸人通过骚体来发愤抒情，激励名节，追求雄衰横放的奇峭美。随着竞争的加剧，文人们投时进取、兼济天下的热情渐趋消褪，走上了理性反省的道路。欧阳修的骚体创作对于骚体赋风的转变起到了导夫先路的作用。郭祥正的骚体表现仕与隐的矛盾，雄衰与隽逸并存，王安石等人的骚体寓忧愤于淡泊之境，具有明显的玉变特征。文同的骚体表现出表里澄激的空灵境界。

明清时期安徽地区行政区划变迁

当今安徽的行政区划在明朝时期初具雏形,在清朝时正式设立。明朝时期安徽全境首次被纳入一个行政区划,凤阳府的设置和督抚辖区的划分,使得安徽省的轮廓逐渐清晰起来。清朝康熙六年(1667)苏皖分省,安徽省在历史上始出现,经过雍正年间对省以下州府县的调整,安徽省的政区机构大致确定。经历了明清五百余年,从无到有再到逐渐形成一个完整独立的行政系统,安徽地区行政区划的这些变化背后蕴含着许多社会和政治问题,了解这些变化的原因,对当今安徽省的经济社会发展和行政资源配置有着积极意义。
