梁漱溟乡村建设理论和实践的得失及其现代启示

乡村现代化一直是近代中国社会改造的重大内容。以梁漱石为代表的乡村现代化实践者认为中国现代化应走本土化道路,中国传统文化是实现现代化的本土资源,“乡村建设”以及“乡村自治”和“乡村教育”等试验,都力图在传统乡村找到中国现代化的本土动力,用传统文化的改良推动乡村建设。其《乡村建设理论》一书从乡村建设问题着手深入探讨了中国教育的功能、性质以及特殊性问题,以致形成了一整套有关乡村教育的理论,它不仅对中国教育理论的建设和当时乡村教育运动的研究有很重要的学术价值,而且有些观点和实践仍然可为今天的社会主义新农村建设、“三农”问题的解决提供有益的启示。     

县级图书馆在社会主义新农村建设中如何发挥作用的思考

县级图书馆是文化建设的重要阵地,转变从前那种图书馆只在县城以上的城市才有的旧观念,增加乡村文化事业包括乡村图书馆（宣）的资金投入,努力迭到乡有小型图书馆、村有图书室的目标是充分发挥县级图书馆辐射与带动作用的重要内容。县级图书馆要帮助村镇建立图书室,并建立与村图书宣的密切联系,创建县、乡、村图书馆互联网站。县级图书馆要开展送图书下乡,用图书流动车、图书流动包等工具将农村最需要的图书定期送书上门。要重视乡村影像、文字等资料的档案建立．尤其是摄影、光碟图像资料．开创基层图书馆事业的全新局面。

This paper discusses the challenges of developing rural knowledge and information systems, practical and vital in facilitating rural development in the 21st century.     

Scaling-up Sustainable Land Management Practices through the Concept of the Rural Resource Centre: Reconciling Farmers' Interests with Research Agendas

Abstract

Purpose: Formal agricultural research has generated vast amount of knowledge and fundamental insights on land management, but their low adoption has been attributed to the use of public extension approach. This research aims to address whether and how full participation of farmers through the concept of Rural Resource Centre (RRC) provides new insights for the development of alternative and farmers-based extension methods.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Using the Concept of RRC, this research assesses the role of farmers in on-farm demonstrations and scaling-up of land management practices, and investigates effective ways to enhance beneficial interactions between researchers, extension workers and farmers in view of improving adoption.

Findings: The findings suggest that farmers can effectively participate in demonstrations and scaling-up of agricultural practices. This participation is enhanced by judicious incentives such as higher crop yields that motivate farmers and influence adoption. The current success of the approach stems from the fact that farmers, extension workers and researchers jointly implement the activities and their different aims were achieved simultaneously: scientific results for researchers, better agricultural practices for extension workers, and economic success and free choice for farmers.

Practical implications: This research concludes that farmers have the capacities to play an innermost role in demonstrations and scaling-up of agricultural practices. However, there is a need to build and strengthen their capacities to facilitate their participation and contribution.

Originality/Value: The article demonstrates the value of the preponderant role of farmers in on-farm demonstrations and scaling-up practices by exhibiting the beneficial interactions between researchers, extension workers and farmers.
