国家政策视角下教师教育研究取向

改革开放以来,教师职业从"臭老九"到"香饽饽",教师教育逐渐成为教育事业发展的关键环节。聚焦教师队伍建设探讨教师发展,成为近年来教师教育研究的突出特点。从国家政策视角,我国改革开族以来的教师教育产生以来进行分析,可以看出:教师教育研究理念层面从综合大学办教育的提出到合格教师的发展和完善到从合格走向卓越;政策层面从宏观到微观,从重视教师教育数量到重视教师教育质量;实践层面从旧三级到新三级递进,从职前职后教育分开进行到职前职后教育一体化。这些无不体现我国教师教育研究真正意义上从合格走向卓越。     

The Roman Catholic Church: A Centuries Old History of Awareness of Clerical Child Sexual Abuse (from the First to the 19th Century)

Debates in international forums and in mainstream media on the role, responsibility, liability, and response of ecclesiastical authorities of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) toward clerical child sexual abuse (cCSA) fail to take into account the historical roots and awareness of the problem. Reports also fail to mention the historic organizational laws RCC developed over centuries. In contrast, RCC documents evidence that the Catholic Church not only carried century’s old history of cCSA, but also repeatedly condemned cCSA by successive papal authorities, organizational laws, and institutional management mechanisms. During the first millennium, however, church laws remained confined to the bookshelves and were not converted into appropriate management policies and infrastructural models. This was largely due to the absence of a central administrative organizational structure, which developed later in the 12th century, following the Second Council of Lateran (1139) when the Papacy asserted its authority to establish administrative control over the organizational church. It was only then that management policies started to be framed and institutional structures enacted to deal more appropriately with cCSA from the 14th to 20th centuries. Despite this, RCC developed a culture of secrecy using clandestine organizational management models and institutional laws prescribed in 1568, 1622, 1741, 1866, 1922, and 1962 which aimed to manage cCSA. The current study traces reported cCSA as far back as the first century and critically examines the organizational laws, and institutional policies developed by RCC to address clerical sexual misconduct up to the end of the 19th century.     

Establishing a new scopic regime: the new landscape painting of Mao’s era

ABSTRACT

After 1949, with ‘serving the people’ established as the basic guideline of art, the reform of traditional landscape painting, which had been appropriated by the cultural elites for thousands of years, was put on the agenda as well. Beginning from the early of 1950s, there were continual debates on the reform of traditional Chinese painting within the art field, through which many artists gradually reached a consensus on the development direction of Chinese painting. At the same time, stimulated by the large-scale xiesheng movement sponsored by the government, Chinese landscape painting changed dramatically in subject, theme, and brushstroke technique, and developed a new style which has its own signifying system. Blending both Chinese and western drawing skills, the new landscape painting successfully created a unique scopic regime, which can establish an organic relationship between personal aesthetic experience and collective historical experience. As a prominent cultural achievement of Mao’s era, the new landscape painting embodies the cultural politics and the technologies of the self at that time.     

From these roots: The role of historically Black colleges and universities in preparing the nation’s gerontologists for an aging society

ABSTRACT

The aging of the United States population is creating an increased need for social workers and other helping professionals with training in gerontology. Recent estimates indicate that less than 3% of MSW students are enrolled in an aging concentration, as compared to 19% enrolled in children/youth concentrations. In addition, the phenomenon of a diverse baby boomer generation joining the ranks of persons age 65 and older has created a plethora of scholarship and curriculum development aimed at readying the aging network for the unprecedented growth of older persons. Social work can make unique professional contributions to the field of gerontology and older persons. This study asserts, however, that social work is not adequately prepared to practice in an increasingly diverse aging society. The social work profession has articulated commitments to acknowledging and affirming how diversity and culture shape the human experience and to developing social workers who can competently engage in research-informed practice and practice-informed research. However, there remains a need in social work education for more widespread use of culturally relevant pedagogies that can help achieve these goals. Informed by both the Afrocentric and Black perspectives, this study presents a content analysis of the curricula infused at two historically Black universities. The nature and extent of the contributions of historically Black universities to social work education is the focus of this article. The scope of this investigation also includes the identification of prominent Black social work educators and discusses the implications of these perspectives for more culturally informed gerontology curricula that promote culturally competent gerontological social workers.     

Evaluation of an Intervention to Foster Time Perspective and Career Decidedness in a Group of Italian Adolescents

A structured 10‐didactic unit intervention was devised to foster adolescents’ time perspective and career decidedness. The study was conducted with 50 adolescents who were selected from a group of 624; 25 of the participants were randomly assigned to the control group and 25 were assigned to the experimental group. They were selected according to their level of career indecision and poor propensity to look to the future. A series of repeated measure analyses of variance were carried out to evaluate pre‐ and posttest differences between the experimental and control groups regarding time perspective and career decidedness. At posttest, the experimental group showed higher levels of continuity, hope, and career decidedness than did the control group. Implications for future practice and research are discussed.     

文学信息传播视角下的语言文化变异研究

在我国社会经济发展的过程中,文学信息传播中语言文化的变异研究,其核心在于强调信息传播的过程中,除了注重翻译人员语言中体现的语言文化价值外,还要注重文化翻译人员的文化背景以及其翻译过程中体现的文学信息及实质感悟,并以此来掌握翻译人员在信息传播中所发挥的媒介作用。由此不难看出,文学信息在传播的过程中,针对不同地区、不同民族之间,有着促进文化交流的作用。基于相关因素的影响,文学信息在传播的过程中会发生一定的变化。在此,本文针对文学信息传播视角下的语言文化变异,做以下论述。     

后现代视野与文学经典问题域的新问题

本文以我国文学经典问题域业已形成为基本判断,全面和历史性地梳理了其形成原因和过程,分析了问题域中诸问题之间的逻辑关系,目前面临的研究困境等。籍此提出文学经典重读的问题,旨在从文学经典现象和重读主体实践活动角度,从该问题的界定、研究目的和重读对象的确定等基本方面做了交代。最后,提出文学经典重读问题需要置于现代与后现代相互交融的"思考和感觉方式"中。     

马克思视域内的社会形态理论研究

本文从社会形态理论的前提出发,以马克思社会形态理论的视域为主线,研究了马克思视域内的社会形态理论,即生产力视域内的社会形态理论、生产方式视域内的社会形态理论和人的发展视域内的社会形态理论以及三者之间的递进关系。生产方式视域以生产力视域为基础,但又不限于生产力视域,人的发展视域以生产方式视域为基础,但又不限于生产方式视域,从而得出马克思视域内的社会形态的概念。一方面,中国社会主义社会形态建立、建设和改革开放的实践,为我们准确全面地认识马克思视域内的社会形态理论创造了条件;另一方面,新世纪、新实践和新任务要求中国人重新准确地全面地把握马克思视域内的社会形态理论。     

《我的安东妮亚》“回归主题”的多重分析

在薇拉·凯瑟小说《我的安东妮亚》第四卷结尾处,主人公吉姆.波顿出人意料地离弃了他的恋人安东妮亚,20年后又返回西部大草原看望她。吉姆的这一"离"一"回/归",多年来一直是学术界关注的焦点。许多学者纷纷从各种视角,如女性主义、酷儿理论或生态文学解读吉姆的"回归"。但是,综观国内外学者对该作品的研究,笔者发现他们只是从单一视角去研究分析该作品的"回归主题",因此,本文将从精神分析、文化研究、女性主义和生态批评等视角对该主题进行多重分析。
