上海与美国南加州部分中学体育课健身指标变量值的比较研究

研究目的：初步确立学校体育课健身目标“可控性和非可控性变量”的基本框架，对中、美两国部分中学体育课的健身指标变量值进行比较。研究方法：以上海市部分中学为样本，对可控性变量中的学生活动状态和生理代谢值进行记录和测试，并于美国加利福尼亚州南部的中学调查资料进行比较。结论：上海地区部分中学体育课教学更符合健身目标的要求。     

Realism in Steinbeck''''s Works

As the foremost novelist of the American Depression of the 1930s,John Steinbeck explored hard into the social problems of his time and tried to represent them into his works.It is no wonder his works are mostly carded realism- this literary mode of writing that gives the impression of recording and sometimes reflecting faithfully the actual life of the 1930s.     

签字声明:一个鲜为人知的美国总统单边政策工具

"签字声明"恐怕是近年来美国总统广泛使用甚至滥用、但又鲜为人知的重要单边政策工具之一.本文从美国国会和总统之间权力关系的角度,对美国总统签字声明的基本含义及作用给予必要的理解,大体考察了美国总统乔治·W·布什在对外政策领域对签字声明的使用,以及这一政策工具在美国国内所引起的激烈争议.本文最后揭示签字声明背后所反映的当代美国总统和行政部门权力膨胀的实质.     

American colonial education policy and Filipino labour migration to the US (1900–1935)

Public mass schooling was the major instrument used by the Americans in the performance of their mission to “civilize” Filipinos. Free primary education was implemented right after the islands’ annexation in 1899 and was a critical component (alongside armed force) of the programme for their “pacification”. For the elite, education formed a route into collaborative involvement in the management of the colonial state. By the second decade of colonization, Filipinos were managing the civil service, participating in elected institutions and installed as mayors and governors. Like that of the Spanish, American colonial governance was profoundly reliant on the collaboration of members of the haciendero class, and thus implicated in the maintenance of long-established social and political hierarchies. But what did the maintenance of that status quo imply for ordinary Filipinos, now increasingly educated and literate in the language of the colonial power? Specifically, to what extent did this combination of socio-economic stasis and educational progress contribute to spurring early labour migration? This article investigates how far labour migration was seen to be, or functioned as, a mechanism for maintaining social and political stability in the American colonial period. It examines how this phenomenon was related to the free and English-based mass education programme undertaken out of an urge to fulfil what Kipling – writing of the American colonial enterprise – termed “the White Man’s Burden”.     

用户参与式设计模式下美国高校图书馆的实践研究及启示

图书馆用户作为多角色共同体,其需求具有相当的复杂性和不确定性,而图书馆的用户参与式设计活动,则有助于真正实现图书馆服务的个性化与多元化,推动图书馆服务的变革创新。基于文献调研,探索了PD理论的内涵以及其与UCD理论的共同点和差异性,将图书馆用户参与式设计的主要内容归纳为空间、服务两大方面,并总结了用户参与式设计的方法。通过对美国高校图书馆在用户参与式设计实践中取得的阶段性成果进行分析,以期为我国图书馆界开展用户参与式设计活动提供思路与借鉴。     

美国创业型研究型大学存在的问题及其对中国高等教育的启示

美国研究型大学模式的发展包括四个关键阶段,第一阶段主要是19世纪受德国的影响,第二阶段是两次世界大战期间联邦资助研究的兴起,第三阶段是20世纪60-70年代多功能大学的广泛成型,第四阶段是新自由主义影响下创业型大学的崛起。就学术研究的规模而言,美国研究型大学已经无国能及,但其在每一个历史发展阶段中所产生的基本问题,却常常为学术研究所忽视。中国在致力于将自己的顶尖大学提升至世界一流水平的过程中,应该考虑到这些基本问题。     

多元文化背景下的自我价值与身份建构——论任碧莲的《典型的美国佬》

当代华裔女作家任璧莲的成名作《典型的美国佬》被认为是新一代华裔美国文学的代表作。小说着意刻画了多元文化背景下人物的身份问题并对其进行了新的诠释。本文主要是通过分析主人公自我的体现,即对中国传统价值的认同和对美国梦的不同理解与追求方式,来探讨自我与美国梦对人物流动身份的影响,同时关注了作品开放式结局的寓意所在。     

美国经济崛起时期自主创新的成功经验与启示

美国在19世纪末和20世纪初的经济崛起是在高关税保护、排斥外国直接投资和内向型经济的条件下实现的。美国的闭关锁国政策之所以铸就了自主创新的辉煌,主要归功于四个重要的因素:扶植和保护民族产业的基本国策;以收入均等化为特征的广阔国内市场规模;以内部改善、装备制造业的关键性作用和农业创新体系等为特点的国家创新体系;以新技术经济范式和战略性新兴产业为核心的组织创新。自主创新是我国的基本国策,内需为主导的经济发展新模式是我国转变经济发展方式的核心所在,美国在经济崛起时期自主创新的成功经验给我们提供了重要的历史借鉴。     

Student satisfaction with Canadian music programmes: the application of the American Customer Satisfaction Model in higher education

The purpose of this project is to empirically investigate several antecedents and consequences of student satisfaction (SS) with Canadian university music programmes as well as to measure students’ level of programme satisfaction. For this, the American Customer Satisfaction Model was tested through a survey of 276 current Canadian music students. The results indicate that customer satisfaction is strongly affected by programme quality, is slightly impacted by its perceived value but is not influenced by prior student expectations. Satisfaction strongly increases programme loyalty and positive word‐of‐mouth, marginally raises tuition change loyalty, and slightly decreases complaining behaviour. Contrary to expectations, tuition‐related constructs play only a minor role in the model. Therefore, money is a marginal factor in the educational environment; this empirically demonstrates the flaws underlying the premises of the students‐as‐customers metaphor. The resulting satisfaction index may facilitate the comparison among institutions. It was also found that the level of SS with Canadian music programmes was somewhat lower than those with services in other industries.
