Enabling children’s deliberation in deliberative systems: schools as a mediating space

In recent years, there has been a growing scholarly interest in conceptualising schools beyond their educational functions, as sites and agents of democracy. Yet this interest is often underpinned by a narrow conception of democracy, focusing solely on schools’ public and social aspects. To capture the democratic potential of schools more fully, this article suggests adopting a deliberative systems approach, which conceptualises democracy as differentiated yet linked sites of democratic communications and views schools as one such site. Using this approach as a broader framework and drawing on the fieldwork conducted in two Japanese schools, this article identifies the condition under which schools can become a meaningful part of deliberative systems. It reveals that schools contribute to deliberative systems when they serve as a bridge between children’s everyday practices and deliberative actions in the public space. In light of the findings, this article suggests conceptualising schools as a ‘mediating space’.     

Monitoring S3: Key dimensions and implications

Our work analyses the implications of a smart specialisation strategy (S3) monitoring model based on a system that considers three main axes linked to the logic of the strategies: output/results, smart specialisation process, and a learning component, on which we build our main approach. This strategic learning is based on the logic that S3 presents a new paradigm within the innovation policy scope that requires the inclusion of monitoring schemes that integrate the assessment of the dynamic process under which both public administration and other innovation stakeholders learn and improve their activities (within and without the strategy) thanks to the learning gathered throughout S3 (and its instruments and projects) implementation. The article also discusses this logic within the current and the next programming period for S3, and the role monitoring has or will have, while analysing the opportunities and challenges it presents.

Separations: A Personal Account of Bowen Family Systems Theory

This paper is a personal account of my own family of origin research. It explores the impact of separations from parents, nuclear family, and extended family through a Bowen family systems theory perspective using concepts pertaining to Bowen theory such as chronic anxiety, differentiation of self, multigenerational family process, and the emotional system. An outline of the process of doing research in ‘vivo’ with my mother as well as conversations with my supervisor are included. Theoretical differences between individual and system models are discussed. A Bowen theoretical approach to the anxiety of separations is investigated. The efficacy of engaging in family of origin work and the effects of thinking systems is examined in light of how it assisted me to view family members, family system disturbances, and clients’ emotional systems more objectively.     

Understanding Client Communities Spatially for Developing Effective Interventions: Application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Technology for Program Planning in Health and Human Services Agencies

Social workers are better equipped to understand the need to incorporate geographical aspects pertaining to their clients’ lives as part of their practice, given the significant influence these factors have on client well-being. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology is a useful tool for administrators and planners to make informed decisions regarding human service programs including examining program outcomes and impact as well as streamlining program implementation. This article synthesizes the literature to date on GIS in health and human services with examples of real world applications.     

以学生为主体的高校工科专业双语教学探索

双语教学有助于提高学生对本专业外语的应用能力, 是逐步实现"使用英语等外语进行公共课和专业课教学"的有效的过渡手段,也是目前使学生的外语学习学以致用的关键一步,是我国高校教学的发展趋势,同时也是教学中的新鲜点和困难点.对工科类本科生实行双语教学要充分顾及学生的思想准备.学生作为学习的主体,他们的思想准备对双语教学的成功与否起到至关重要的作用.双语教学的重点研究对象应是学生,因此以学生为主体的教学法研究势在必行.     

系统工程思想视角下三产融合振兴民族村落的路径——基于贵州批林村的经验探索

农村三产融合是一个由多种要素组成的系统工程。研究基于对贵州花溪区批林村的田野调查,发现：目前批林村对三产融合进行探索的电农融合、工农融合和文旅融合项目在实施过程中存在一些阻碍,具体包括发展资金较为匮乏,基础设施难以建设;技术渗透能力不强,新型产业难以发展;村落建设人才短缺,项目规划难以推进;三产融合程度较浅,产业增值难以实现;利益联结机制欠缺,农民利益难以保障等。针对批林村现实存在的典型问题,基于系统工程思想的指导,研究为三产融合振兴民族村落构建出以下发展路径：一是完善系统顶层设计,统筹三产融合发展思路;二是精准定位发展要素,抓住三产融合关键环节;三是合理布局结构关系,优化三产融合整体功能;四是创新融合发展方式,实现三产融合系统升级;五是加强后续保障机制,促进三产融合稳步运营。     

基于行动者网络理论的三网融合发展战略研究

行动者网络理论为三网融合的发展提供了一种新视角和新的分析工具。研究表明:三网融合既是技术创新和市场竞争推动的结果,也是政府管制的结果;作为核心行动者,政府应采取合理的手段调整行动主体的行为,引导其积极加入到网络中;在多异质行动者参与的三网融合博弈进程,由于诸多利益因素的存在,网络有可能重构,甚至瓦解。我国应从制定合理的发展路径和科学的实施步骤、完善政策资源供给和重视各方利益整合等方面加强三网融合发展战略指导。     

网络舆情评估EHA三维指标体系的构建

随着网络在我国的兴起和发展,网络舆情的评估已经成为评价和预警社会形势的重要指标.通过对现有舆情研究的调研和分析,得出由舆情要素、舆情热度和舆情活性3个一级指标、7个二级指标以及14个三级指标共同构建的网络舆情评估的EHA三维指标体系,并对各级指标给出了详尽的分析和阐述.     

我国高校研究生兼任“三助”工作的现状与发展对策

我国高校研究生兼任“助教”、“助管”、“助研”工作于20世纪80年代开展以来,已有了一定的发展,但与近年来我国研究生教育的快速发展相比较仍显滞后。在现阶段,研究生“三助”工作存在岗位偏少、经费不足、报酬偏低以及相关部门和研究生导师推动“三助”工作的意识淡化等一系列的问题。因此需要根据我国研究生教育的具体情况,采取“产学研”发展模式,同时还要借鉴国外研究生的“三助”管理和实施经验,把研究生“三助”工作推向新的高度,使其真正能为学生、为高校、为社会服务。
