Methods Used with a High Ability Group

Teaching for social justice in a standards-driven social studies classroom can be challenging. However, the authors believe that there does not have to be a choice between meeting standards versus meeting the needs of students. Through semistructured interviews with four current social studies practitioners, the authors found similarities in the language the teachers used to describe the role of standards in their classrooms, teachers' perceptions of context as being important to the tension between teaching for social justice and teaching to standards, and the ways that perception impacted how they negotiated that tension. The authors offer social studies teachers an alternate conceptual frame for viewing social justice instruction in terms of methods rather than content.     

Spinal Cord Injury

ABSTRACT

This article provides an overview of spinal cord injury (SCI) that is useful and informative for social workers and other health care professionals who work with this population. Social workers new to the specialty of spinal cord injury must expand their knowledge base of this chronic injury. Social workers contribute to the rehabilitation process through assessment, education, and discharge planning. This article also may be used to inform persons with spinal cord injury and their families and to encourage them to engage in dialogue about SCI in the earliest stages of treatment and rehabilitation.     

Enterprising Education: Doing Away with the Public School System

We critically examine the accepted notion that primary education is a legitimate and necessary function of the state. The notion is based upon three tenets: 1) public education is a necessary condition for democracy, 2) the market will not provide equal access and quality of education to all, and 3) education represents an external economy. Each tenet is addressed and evaluated according to its merits. In doing so, we also contrast the fulfillment of the ends implicit in the tenets under state and market provisions. We conclude that the state provision of primary education cannot be justified by these goals, and that market provision is a preferable alternative. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

学术史视野中的福公司河南矿案

福公司矿案迁延日久,其交涉进程反映了近代河南政局中的复杂关系及其变化,而有关著述者对该案的评判方式和立场,也有着浓厚的因时局而变的特征。这使得有关研究更像是政治叙事,而非客观的历史研究。实际上,围绕福公司矿案所发生的政治变动要复杂得多,从中仍可找到学术创新的切口和路径。     

论刘咸炘的国学观念与学术思想

刘咸炘是中国近世学术史上罕见的天才,他承传家学,以史学见长,又吸收了西学,长期志于国学的研究和著述,建立了一个宏伟的学术体系.他认为国学与科学不同,具有综合的学术性质,四部书相连,不可划疆而治;并指明"事实考证"与专门学科的关系.他认为国学的目的是"以事明理",用于指导人们的社会实践.他长于吏学与思辩相结合的方法,故著述以吏学本体研究和理论探索为特点.刘咸炘吸收了新学,但本质上仍属于旧学的范围,虽然他在探索着国学研究的新道路.我们从其著述的广博和所达到的学理高度来看,刘咸炘不愧为蜀中的国学大师.

赛珍珠在中国的接受

2008年是赛珍珠获诺贝尔文学奖70周年，但早在1930年，中国的赛珍珠介绍业已开始。在这近80年的时间里，中国赛珍珠接受走过了从20世纪三四十年代的褒贬不一到20世纪五六十年代的全盘否定再到新时期以来的逐渐走向公正客观评价的历程。特别是到了世纪之交，随着全球化时代的到来，提倡文化多元、推崇异质文化交流的赛珍珠及其跨文化创作越发引起世人的关注。政府部门、出版机构、大专院校和相关领域的学者全方位、立体化地合力研究赛珍珠及其作品，在翻译、研究、教学诸方面均取得了令人瞩目的成果。不妨说，赛珍珠已回到她所称为的“父国”——中国。
