技术主义与当代大学的命运

当代大学正在遭遇技术主义的深度控制,这大大束缚了大学人的个性和大学精神伸展的空间,其结果就是大学的工厂化,即大学成为人才批量生产的地方,这在很大程度上直接导致大学对追求知识与真理和锻造人格双重大学使命的背离.技术主义背后的支持是官本位的大学制度,我们需要重建大学制度,确立以追求知识与真理为中心的大学体制,以超越当下大学中越来越突出的技术主义倾向.     

授人以鱼不如授人以渔——创新视角下的政府背景客户与企业成长

本文利用2007-2015年间A股上市公司年报中公开披露的客户数据,从研发创新的角度检验了政府大客户的存在对企业成长性的影响。实证结果表明,上市公司的大客户中政府背景订单占比约大,则企业未来的盈利增长能力就越强,与此同时,资本市场对企业的估值水平也越高,进一步地从作用机制来看,政府背景订单之所以能促进企业成长壮大,很大程度上可以归结于它们对企业研发创新的促进作用,尤其是增加公司的创新投入与创新产出,继而助推企业成长。总而言之,本文的研究发现有助于我们客观地了解政府背景客户在企业成长发展中扮演的角色,辩证地看待以政府采购为代表的另类政府干预机制对实体经济产生的影响作用。     

Government-based training agencies and the professional development of Indonesian teachers of English for Young Learners: perspectives from complexity theory

This study was conducted to identify suggestions to improve PD programmes held by government-based training agencies to help enhance Indonesian EYL teachers’ instructional practice. For the purpose of the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 51 participants. The findings suggest the theorisation of a PD model that involves complex and dynamic interactions between actors including teacher educators, school principals, educational administrators and teachers’ groups. This paper argues for the need to separate the expertise and facilitative roles between PD actors as it relates to PD accountability in terms of design, development and implementation. The implications drawn from the study may inform teacher educators and policy-makers in countries facing a shortage of properly trained EYL teachers.
