波普尔证伪主义方法论与决策科学

科学方法论对科学活动的研究,目的在于探索科学发现和科学检验所遵循的基本规则,并为科学预测和科学决策提供合理的依据。我国关于科学方法论的研究,主要集中在科学发现和科学检验这两个阶段,而对科学方法论的应用阶段———科学预测和科学决策———的研究则较为薄弱。本文通过波普尔证伪主义方法论与决策科学的比较,认为无论在决策科学的基础理论方面还是在决策科学的方法上,证伪主义方法论对决策科学都产生了重要的影响。     

论新文学思潮与新文学流派的动态关系

新文学思潮与新文学流派之间因果莫辨、源流纠缠的动态关系 ,充分证明了近百年来新文学思潮与新文学流派本身非线性、非对称的生存状态。所谓非线性与非对称 ,其实质就是不稳定性和不成熟性 ,它们直接制约着新文学近百年发展进程 ,使之在历时态和共时态上始终呈现出某种程度的不良生存状态和发展趋势。     

Family Cap and Nonmarital Fertility: The Racial Conditioning of Policy Effects

Using an experimental design, this research examines the effect of the nation's first family cap on the births, abortions, and contraception use of over 8,000 women receiving public assistance in New Jersey. The family cap denies additional cash benefits to children conceived while the mother is receiving public assistance. Our research shows that a targeted welfare benefit manipulation does influence fertility behavior; however, the effect is conditioned by race. We find that Black women in the experimental group have a 21% lower birth rate and a 32% higher abortion rate than Black women in the control group. We do not find a birth effect for Hispanic or White women. We discuss the policy implications of the effects of a segmented family cap.     

谈批判性思维

批判性思维与创造性思维是两个相对独立又相互联系的思维方式。解决问题的过程实质上是对两种思维方式的综合运用。因此在教学改革中应该把对两者的培养和训练结合起来,使学生在总体思维能力上得到提高。     

Racial differences in urban neighboring

Despite mixed expectations generated by existing theories and evidence, this analysis documents clear racial differences in urban neighboring behavior. Using data from a survey of Nashville, Tennessee, residents, we show that blacks interact with their neighbors more often than whites do, and in a greater variety of ways. The only noteworthy similarity between the two groups is the positive impact of neighboring on feelings of community affect. Overall, our results support the view that neighbor relations — like other kinds of informal participation — have helped blacks cope with constrained social opportunities and provided them with access to resources unavailable through formal institutional channels.Revised version of a paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, San Francisco, August 1989.     

教育理论思维的公共性诉求

思维方式深层影响着教育理论研究.从方法论的维度看,公共性的极至崇拜和公共性的完全消解的相异思维方式同时影响着教育理论思维.为避免在两极间徘徊,应寻求一个基于实践的公共的教育理论论域,以基于实践的公共性诉求来理解、探求教育理论,并以爱教育的人间关怀使研究充满活泼的生命力.     

日本媒介识读教育的兴起及其背景分析

媒介识读的核心是批判性解读媒介信息的能力。媒介识读教育在实践中形成了系统的教育理念和教学方法 ,是国外实施媒介教育的一种常见模式。作为抵消大众媒介对少年不良影响的手段 ,媒介识读教育逐渐受到日本社会各界的重视。日本的媒介识读因电视的介入而得以推广 ,但也因此被打上了深刻的媒介意志的烙印。     

批判性思维和非形式逻辑的互动关系

20世纪后期,北美教育领域出现了强调思维能力和气质,克服低层次、复制性学习弊端的“批判性思维运动”。几乎同时,一股逻辑学的“新浪潮”———“非形式逻辑运动”在高校兴起,结果使批判性思维能力和气质的培养成为高校非形式逻辑教育的目标,而非形式逻辑教学成为批判性思维能力和气质培养的主要途径。二者的互动,给高校逻辑教学带来新气象。     

Race, Risk, and the Emergence of Gender Boundaries: Kids Crossing Boundaries in Summer Camps

My study explores how children established and crossed gender boundaries in four recreational settings with different racial compositions and patterns. Children generally marked boys' gender boundary crossing as more deviant than girls' crossing. However, the amount of gender salience structured into each setting and the salience of race in each setting affected campers' perceptions of the risks from gender boundary crossing and, thus, their strategies for crossing. My findings suggest that the perceived race of the actor may be less important than the race of the audience. Also crucial are the ways in which race category membership gives meaning to gender boundaries and to gender deviance in a particular situation.     

Asian Women,Job Training and the Social Organization of Immigrant Labor Markets

This paper examines the entry of Asian immigrant women into a gendered labor market via government-funded job training programs. The focus is on the intake processing of clients into an employment training program operated by a community based organization. The study reveals that women's family responsibilities and the cultural capital they bring function to screen them into or out of training programs and ultimately shape their location in the workforce. The study thus draws attention to how race, class, and gender enter into the organization of Asian immigrant women into the labor market. This investigation is based in institutional ethnography (Smith 1987), a research strategy which displays how activities in a particular setting are coordinated with more extended forms of social organization. The study shows that the overriding concern with successful placement in a job as mandated by government regulations is a critical factor in selecting the women for these programs.
