澳大利亚扶持安置残疾学徒工的成功举措初探

近十年来,澳大利亚在残疾人就业安置方面先后进行了三个研究项目:1999年的西澳大利亚项目,2002的联邦集团培训机构最佳实践项目,2003的联邦集体培训机构合作企业项目。本文分别从背景、研究设计、成果介绍这三个研究,通过比较发现,提供"先安置,后培训"开放式就业服务模式成功促进了残疾学徒工的就业率,其成功的经验值得我们学习和借鉴。     

战后澳大利亚教育史学的发展

在本国师范教育改革和欧美新教育史学的双重影响下,战后澳大利亚教育史学模式发生了变化。一方面,新教育史学兴起,阶级和性别成为教育史研究的重要分析范畴,福柯理论和政治经济学方法指导下的教育史研究盛行。另一方面,运用传统教育史学模式研究教育史的仍大有人在,教育传记的撰写一直盛行,传统传记和集体传记方法的应用,在一定程度上代表了传统教育史学的势力,和新教育史学家一起推动了澳大利亚教育史学的发展。     

澳大利亚职业教育和培训政策的演变、制定与规划、挑战

成立ANTA以来,相关政策在澳大利亚职业教育和培训发展中发挥着至关重要的作用,同时也存在诸多问题。其政策往往是与经济、社会、政党轮替以及相关管理机构的增设紧密联系在一起的。澳大利亚职业教育和培训政策的制定与规划主体呈现多元化特点,各自扮演着应有的角色,相关政策的出台通常是多个利益团体达成的妥协。澳大利亚现行的职业教育和培训政策面临着若干日益严峻的挑战。     

Access to academic curriculum in Australian secondary schools: a case study of a highly marketised education system

This study examines how access to academic curriculum differs between secondary schools in Australia, a country whose education system is marked by high levels of choice, privatisation and competition. Equitable access to academic curriculum is important for both individual students and their families as well as the larger society. Previous research has shown that students from lower socio-economic backgrounds are less likely to study academic curriculum than their more advantaged peers. Less is known, however, about the extent to which this pattern is related to differential provision of curriculum between schools. We found that low socio-economic schools offer students less access to the core academic curriculum subjects that are important for university entry. We also found that the breadth and depth of courses offered is related to school sector (private or public) and socio-economic context. Previous research has shown that choice and competition are inequitable because they frequently increase school social segregation and ‘cream-skimming’. Our findings show another inequitable consequence, namely that choice and competition limit access to high-status academic curriculum in working-class communities.

澳大利亚高校招生考试制度理念及其实现

公平、效率、自由选择,是现代高校招生考试制度的基本理念。澳大利亚"多元与统一"、"灵活与适性"特征兼具的高校招生考试制度体系,既体现了教育考试的公平价值取向,又为各类高校有效甄别学生入学提供了保障。而澳大利亚高校招生考试中学生自由选择权以及高校招生自主权的实现,反映了非资源约束条件下高校招生制度的改革方向。

The MBA Program: A Restructured Product for Today's Market

ABSTRACT

In response to much criticism for having lost touch with corporate America, the M.B.A. has been analyzed and reshaped in many of our schools. This article provides a report on the extent and nature of the restructuring movement. The findings are based on a survey of accredited M.B.A. programs, and offer some interesting results to educators and practitioners alike. Restructured M.B.A. programs present administrators with unique opportunities to market their programs to different segments of the graduate business school population.
