继续教育机构的社会责任分析

所有的组织和机构都是依赖于它们环境的开放系统,以培训为主要任务的继续教育机构也不例外。这种依赖要求机构的领导者和管理人员必须考虑社会的观点和社会的期望值,必须对社会的各种要求做出响应。由于社会政治、经济、文化等因素的发展对继续教育工作和管理提出了更高的期望,继续教育机构的社会责任和职业道德日益成为人们关注的重要问题。     

Spontaneous Action and Transformative Learning: Empirical investigations and pragmatist reflections

Whereas present theories of transformative learning tend to focus on the rational and reflective actor, in this article it is suggested that spontaneous action may play a decisive role in transformative learning too. In the spontaneity of action, novelty finds its way into life, gains momentum, is respected by others and reflected by the actor. Such transformation processes are investigated both with the means of theoretical reflection and of empirical inquiry. Based on nine narrative interviews typical phases of transformative learning processes are identified. Owing to the comparative nature of the study, it was also possible to develop an age-related typology that overlaps certain phases of the transformation process. These empirical findings constitute the background against which the nexus of spontaneous action and transformative learning is reflected theoretically. Theories drawn upon include John Dewey's Pragmatism and George Herbert Mead's Social Pragmatism. Both scholars provide rich theoretical concepts for reflecting on the nature of that what so often eludes from the control of both educators and learners: the spontaneity of the beginning.     

Spontaneity and planning in arts attendance: insights from qualitative interviews and the Audience Finder database

ABSTRACT

Arts managers frequently use customer relationship management systems to identify early and late ticket bookers, but to date there has been no comparable investigation of spontaneity and planning through qualitative academic audience research. This paper combines two radically different datasets to draw new insights into booking patterns of audiences for contemporary arts events. Quantitative data from Audience Finder has been analysed to look for trends in early and late booking amongst audiences for contemporary art forms. Qualitative data has been drawn from the Understanding Audiences for the Contemporary Arts study, which used in-depth individual interviews to investigate the contemporary arts attendance of audience members in four UK cities. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was then used to draw out insights about where the purchasing point sits within the longer decision to attend. Following a review of marketing and audience research literature on the decision to attend, we present the findings from each of these analyses, looking at moments where they confirm, supplement, contradict, or say something completely outside the remit of the other dataset. We show how the timescale of the decision to attend is influenced by (1) art form conventions and price, (2) geographical region and availability of the arts, (3) attending arts events with companions, and (4) personal preference for planning or spontaneously choosing activities. We end by suggesting a new three-part model for understanding booking patterns, and considering how these insights might be acted upon by arts organisations.     

On the Serious Teaching of Philosophy

Dozens and dozens of little deaths occur in college classrooms each day as teachers, mostly because of fear, steer themselves and their students away from what is alive and real and toward what is dead, safe, and boring. In this paper, I use a collection of stories to describe a practice that enlivens classroom dynamics that I call “Steering Into the Curve.”     

从自在自发到自由自觉——我国教师生存方式的转型

我国教师孕育于传统文化,其在日常教学生活中,经验消解了理性,重复消解了创新,重压消解了激情,从众消解了个性,因而我国教师生存方式是一种自在自发的生存。我国的教育改革呼唤教师生存方式的转型:由自在自发转向自由自觉,实现教师理性化的、创造性的和个性化的生存,这需要通过文化启蒙、制度规范以及教师的自我反思才能得以实现。     

经验的形而上学———麦克道尔的经验论哲学评析

经验的内容在麦克道尔的哲学中是概念性的。这需要接收性与自发性的相互作用,使感觉印象出现在确证序列中。因此经验是思想和世界之间的联系,它能够使心灵向世界开放,让世界直接呈现给意识。经验是经验知识的形而上学条件。     

论唐代的诗学复古理论

唐代诗学复古理论在批判六朝淫靡诗风的同时，又承续魏晋以来文学自觉的历史趋向，吸取六朝声、采艺术探索的成就，复兴汉魏刚健骏爽的诗歌风骨，继承《诗》《骚》风刺比兴的现实精神，上复元古自然清真的美学境界，从多方面为唐代诗歌艺术繁盛提供了理论依据。     

论嵇康的“自然”境界

嵇康的“自然元气论”是他的哲学本体论,也是他人学思想的出发点。他的“自然”范畴不是现代意义上的自然概念,其主要含义乃是自是和自在。所以,在人学的意义上“自然”就是自由境界,“自然元气论”是他的哲学出发点,“越名教而任自然”则是他的哲学的归宿。     

意识的神经相关性、自发性与人类利他主义的客观基础

人类利他主义一直是生物学和哲学研究的重要问题.意识的神经相关性和自发性表明了主体的伦理行为在意识的层面上是将对他人的福利意识和自身的关心同时关联起来的,这表明人类利他主义的客观基础可以从意识的神经相关性和自发性上得以理解.     

中国地方组织化与乡村治理——中国政治发展的微观分析

发展与治理的目的都在于形成一种现代社会秩序。组织化是其达成目的的重要手段,组织化的过程即是社会秩序生成的过程。社会秩序的生成有两种机制:唯理建构与理性自生,组织化的过程也是如此。文章从中国地方组织化与乡村治理从而形成乡村现代社会秩序的过程入手,对中国政治发展做了一个微观的分析。
