Emotions involved in encountering classroom diversity: Beginning teachers’ stories

This article addresses emotions involved in encountering classroom diversity as appearing in beginning teachers’ stories. Previous research has pointed out that teachers’ emotions related to growing classroom diversity are seldom addressed, although increasing classroom diversity has been distinguished as a significant emotional challenge for teachers. In this article, teachers’ work is viewed as relational and moral work, in which emotions are inherently present. We conceptualise emotions as simultaneously social and individual. Instead of predefining the term ‘diversity’, we are interested in what kind of classroom diversity seems to become meaningful in teachers’ stories. The data consists of narrative interviews with seven Finnish beginning teachers. The findings illustrate how, in beginning teachers’ stories, students are both categorised and approached as unique individuals. Furthermore, the findings show diverse ways that emotions are present in teachers’ stories about classroom diversity, and how the working community also affects teachers’ emotions. We argue that teachers’ stories related to emotions and classroom diversity can be interpreted as moral negotiations, in which teachers’ own values and ideas of teaching are challenged. The findings of this article may add understanding of teacher–student relationships in diverse classrooms, and are also significant for teacher educators and teacher education programmes.     

Reasons of students and apprentices to choose a training company in the dual system

This article sheds light on an understudied aspect of the transition from school to work: the choice of a training company. It presents findings from qualitative interviews with 69 secondary school students and apprentices from the German states of Berlin and Brandenburg, focusing on their reasons to choose a training company in the dual system. What reasons lead students and apprentices to choose a training company? The most common reason is personal impressions, which future apprentices obtain in their initial, personal encounters with a company and its staff. Students and apprentices often consider location, working atmosphere and soundness. Due to this study’s regional scope, its findings may not be fully generalisable on a national or international level. However, its findings may instigate further research in countries where people pursuing certain types of apprenticeship training have to apply to companies (e.g. Great Britain, Switzerland and Australia).     

全从当场见世情——从场面描写看《金瓶梅》的小说艺术

《金瓶梅》是一部以繁多、生动却不免琐屑的细节描写著称的长篇小说,由细节描写营构成的场面是《金瓶梅》文本的基本存在形态,大致可分为宴饮场面、内室场面和庭院场面三类。由于作者主要使用细节连缀的叙述方式,小说的叙事空间精彩而叙事时间则时常紊乱,留下了遗憾。夸饰性和写实性场面的结合,是《金瓶梅》人物塑造的重要方法之一。

小说称名之“子书”传统与小说“文体众备”之关系

中国古代小说称名源自＂子书＂,形成了悠久的＂子书＂传统,受其影响,小说的文类属性也带有明显的＂说＂的特点;小说之＂说＂的＂立说＂、＂解说＂属性影响到小说的叙事,形成了主观化的叙事方式;其以＂说＂统＂事＂的言说方式则成为小说＂文体众备＂的学理基础。     

故事与认同

讲故事有利于认同的建构,那些世代流传的故事就是人们拥有同一认同的核心所在。故事用一种连续的方式与世界、与历史连接。通过故事,人们感受或体会着以故事的内容为参照的世界。故事的叙述者把自己排除在经验之外,从而向世界寻求材料,目的是证实一种与世界相对的认同。故事把人类经验体现出来,建构属于个体或集体的认同。
