我国职业教育发展路径分析

丰富的劳动力资源是我国在国际分工合作体系中的优势所在,不断提高劳动力的质量是保持这一优势的必然要求。因此,职业技术教育对我国的经济发展具有至关重要的战略意义。我国的职业技术教育正处于蓬勃兴     

浅谈土建施工劳动力素质对施工的影响

随着我国经济快速发展,我国城市现代化进程不断加快,我国土建施工工程日益增长.随着我国建筑市场的不断完善,对劳动力的素质要求也不断提升.由于我国建筑市场法律法规和现行制度还不完善,导致了土建工程施工中出现很多问题,土建施工劳动力的素质是影响土建工程施工质量好坏的直接影响因素.本文就土建施工劳动力的素质对施工的影响进行分析和探讨,并提供一些可供参考的意见和措施.     

学校职业指导实践中的问题与对策

目前,我国劳动力供求总量矛盾和就业结构性矛盾并存,学校职业指导工作受到了各级各类学校的普遍重视.     

中东投标浅谈

随着丰富的石油资源的开发,中东尤其是海湾国家的资金迅速地积累起来,为了发展国民经济,它们迫切需要引进先进的技术装备和廉价的劳动力。在这种形势下,世界上许多国家的承包商争先恐后地涌向中东建筑市场。科学技术先进的国家,如日本、英国、法国、西德等向产油国输出现代化的的设备和技术;拥有大量劳动力的国家如南朝鲜、印度、菲律宾、埃及等,则输出便宜的劳务。     

建筑业劳务用工制度改革初探

建筑业用工制度改革的目的在于建立能够满足弹性需求的劳务队伍.针对目前成建制劳务用工模式尚处于起步阶段的现状,现阶段劳务用工组织形式改革的重点应当是大力收编、改造非成建制劳务队伍,发展、壮大建筑劳务分包企业,推广建立成建制的劳务用工模式.     

谈职业教育中实践教学的强化

职业教育的实质就是培育受教育者的职业素养和职业技能.随着我国社会经济的发展和社会对劳动整体素质的要求,劳动力市场对实用型技术人才的需求越来越大.如何在职业教育中加强实践教学,培养符合市场需求的高水平的技术人才,是本文主要探讨的话题.     

珠江三角洲“技工荒”问题与对策研究

一、珠江三角洲＂技工荒＂的现状 1.＂技工荒＂出现的宏观环境 广东珠江三角洲技术工人总量严重不足,尤其是高技能人才奇缺。据不完全统计,仅靠本地劳动力资源的供给占总供给不到10%,那么90%的劳动力资源需要靠本省或外省劳动力供给。按广东省职业协会的技能人才需求预测分析,＂十一五＂期间,广东中级工以上技能人才缺口180万人,其中高级以上技能人才缺100多万人,这个缺口在＂十二五＂期间将更大。     

劳务、承包工程翻译浅谈

七十年代,中东出现了巨大的劳务市场,印度、巴基斯坦、埃及、泰国、南朝鲜、菲律宾等国都派出大批劳动力进入中东各国,这不但解决了这些国家劳动力过剩所引起的严重失业问题,而且还为国家赚取了外汇.有些国家如埃及,劳务收入已成了国家外汇的重要来源之一.我国劳务输出起步虽说比较晚,但发展较快,短短的几年中,在不少阿拉伯国家已打开了局面,赢得了信誉,取得了一定的成绩.对于一个只经短时间培训的阿语学生,怎样才能在劳务、承包工程项目中当好一名阿语翻译,我想就自己的几年     

技术创新与汽车出口竞争力研究

我国汽车工业的发展主要依靠廉价的劳动力而拥有着国际比较优势,随着我国经济的增长,劳动力的成本也在逐年增加,这显然不能应对国外汽车的技术优势.我国单一的技术也显然不能满足国际市场的需求.为了提高竞争力抢占更大的市场份额,我国汽车企业应该把重点放在技术创新方面.本文围绕汽车的技术创新与汽车出口的竞争力进行了研究与分析.     

“民工荒”是中国劳动力市场未来矛盾的先兆

我认为,相对于我国劳动力总体上供过于求的基本情况,当前的"民工荒"只能算是局部的、短暂的现象,但却不能加以轻视.从某种角度上说,"民工荒"是中国劳动力市场未来矛盾与问题的先兆.改革以来的30年,我们主要是以劳动密集型产业占领国内外相应市场,但是,金融危机的冲击却展现了我国低层次产业结构的危险.有些企业开始进行了产品与技术结构的提升,但是却马上遇到了劳动力市场结构的不适应,在众多寻找职业的民工中,缺少的正是熟练的技术工人.正是这局部的、结构性的"民工荒",需要我们进一步思考有关问题并作出防微杜渐的对策.     

Back and Forth and Beyond

The Journal invited Tom Andersen, author of major pioneering work on the reflecting team, and his colleagues, to offer comment on The Reflecting Team Process in Training. We thought such a north-south dialogue was in keeping with the spirit of reflecting teams, and the team members in Melbourne and Tromsø agree — Editor.     

Time and aging--mechanisms and meanings

A recent European Molecular Biology Laboratory Conference on Science and Society entitled "Time & Aging--Mechanisms & Meanings" fascinated scientists from different research areas as well as nonscientists. Topics discussed included not only the biological aging process but also the psychological effects of aging and social influences that affect this process.     

Arts and Crafts and Reconstruction

Abstract

This paper examines the role of arts and crafts in reconstructing communities after times of upheaval, their use in creating employment opportunities, and their impact on the nature of South African art history. It looks at craft initiatives during and after the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002, and draws parallels with early twentieth-century initiatives, particularly those of Florence Phillips, who founded the Johannesburg Art Gallery in 1910, Emily Hobhouse, who established Boer home industries, and the South African National Union, which promoted the manufacture and use of local products.     

Sexual Compulsivity and Sexual Behaviors Among Gay and Bisexual Men and Lesbian and Bisexual Women

Within the existing body of research, the information pertaining to sexual compulsivity (SC) among women, both homo- and heterosexual, remains rather limited in comparison to men. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of SC in a community sample of gay and bisexual men and lesbian and bisexual women and to identify differences in sexual practices based on classification as sexually compulsive within gender. Supporting previous research, the findings indicated that gay and bisexual men were significantly higher in SC when compared to lesbian and bisexual women. Similarly, sexually compulsive gay and bisexual men were more likely to report drug use with sex than their non-sexually compulsive peers, suggesting that “party n' play” may play a larger role for men with SC. In addition, the findings demonstrated empirical support for the proposition that lesbian and bisexual women with symptoms of SC were more likely to engage in specialized sexual behaviors in comparison to their non-sexually compulsive peers. These data suggest that SC manifests differently in gay, lesbian, and bisexual men and women.     

Evening and night work schedules and children's social and emotional well-being

ABSTRACT

An emerging body of evidence shows that parents’ non-standard work schedules have a detrimental effect on children's well-being. However, only a limited number of studies have investigated mediating factors that underpin this association. Likewise, only a few studies have examined the impact of fathers’ non-standard work schedules on children's well-being. Based on data from the Families in Germany Study (FiD), this study aimed to address these research gaps. The sample consists of parents and their children at ages 7–8 and 9–10 (n?=?838 child observations in dual-earner families). The data were collected in the years 2010–2013. Non-standard work hours were defined as working in evenings and or at night (every day, several times a week, or changing as shifts). Children's social and emotional well-being was measured with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The findings show that both mothers’ and fathers’ evening and night work schedules are linked to an increase in children's externalizing and internalizing behavior and that this association is partially mediated by mothers’ and fathers’ harsh and strict parenting, with a stronger mediation effect for fathers parenting.     

Thinking and Speech and Protocol Analysis

Some form of verbal report—that is, a research participant' s concurrent or retrospective verbal account of thought processes during problem-solving activities—has been used throughout this century as the database from which psychologists have developed theories of human mentation. Newell and Simon (1972) and Ericsson and Simon (1980, 1993) have provided extensive justification for using one such method, protocol analysis, as a tool for investigating cognition from an information-processing (IP) perspective. Their arguments have characterized protocol analysis as a methodology capable of providing evidence of the ways in which people attend to information stored in short-term memory to solve problems, with the evidence providing them with the grounds from which to generate models of human cognitive processes. A different view of protocol analysis is available from the perspective of cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) based on the work of Vygotsky (1987), Leont'ev (1981), and others, and its concern with the mediation of human development by culturally and historically grounded signs and tools. Because of its emphasis on culturally channeled development, a CHAT perspective views speech, including the speech that serves as evidence for cognition in psychological research, as a tool that potentially enables changes in consciousness. In this article I outline a CHAT perspective that accounts for protocol analysis along three key dimensions: (a) the relation between thinking and speech from a representational standpoint, (b) the social role of speech in research methodology, and (c) the influence of speech on thinking during data collection. The purpose of this discussion is not to refute the IP perspective on protocol analysis but to illustrate how this method can be viewed through a CHAT lens and to identify alternative assumptions that must be made to use it from a CHAT perspective.
