加强高校思想政治理论课社会实践教学环节的思考

加强高校思想政治理论课的社会实践教学,是由马克思主义理论和思想政治理论课自身特点、性质、教学目的及教学任务决定的,也是人的认识规律和青年学生思想品德形成发展规律的逻辑必然。高校思想政治理论课社会实践教学模式的构建,应遵循大学生的成长规律和思想政治教育教学规律,切合高校教学改革的实际,有较强的可操作性,应建立健全“思政课”社会实践教学的长效机制。     

国企改革中MBO的实践及思考

在我国各地深化国有企业产权制度改革的实践中,管理层收购(MBO)被付诸大胆的尝试。尽管市场机制不完善、法律环境欠缺,MBO仍由默默无闻的个别行动发展而成近年大规模涌现、并引发理论界、政府及公众热切关注和争论不休的态势。

师范生实习支教研究的现状与展望

实习支教指高师院校师范生在完成相应课程后到农村中小学进行“全职”教师岗位实习。师范生实习支教是我国改革实习制度和应对农村教师短缺的一个创新举措，在全国多地广泛实施后，受到社会、高师院校和师范生的一致好评，对缓解师范生实习压力和改善农村基础教育现状方面起到了一定作用。但是还需将实习支教作为一种反思性实践，倾听实习支教师范生的声音，关注实习支教教师的前身份，关注实习支教师范生与受援学校情境的互动。     

A Tiered Framework for Risk‐Relevant Characterization and Ranking of Chemical Exposures: Applications to the National Children's Study (NCS)

A challenge for large‐scale environmental health investigations such as the National Children's Study (NCS), is characterizing exposures to multiple, co‐occurring chemical agents with varying spatiotemporal concentrations and consequences modulated by biochemical, physiological, behavioral, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. Such investigations can benefit from systematic retrieval, analysis, and integration of diverse extant information on both contaminant patterns and exposure‐relevant factors. This requires development, evaluation, and deployment of informatics methods that support flexible access and analysis of multiattribute data across multiple spatiotemporal scales. A new “Tiered Exposure Ranking” (TiER) framework, developed to support various aspects of risk‐relevant exposure characterization, is described here, with examples demonstrating its application to the NCS. TiER utilizes advances in informatics computational methods, extant database content and availability, and integrative environmental/exposure/biological modeling to support both “discovery‐driven” and “hypothesis‐driven” analyses. “Tier 1” applications focus on “exposomic” pattern recognition for extracting information from multidimensional data sets, whereas second and higher tier applications utilize mechanistic models to develop risk‐relevant exposure metrics for populations and individuals. In this article, “tier 1” applications of TiER explore identification of potentially causative associations among risk factors, for prioritizing further studies, by considering publicly available demographic/socioeconomic, behavioral, and environmental data in relation to two health endpoints (preterm birth and low birth weight). A “tier 2” application develops estimates of pollutant mixture inhalation exposure indices for NCS counties, formulated to support risk characterization for these endpoints. Applications of TiER demonstrate the feasibility of developing risk‐relevant exposure characterizations for pollutants using extant environmental and demographic/socioeconomic data.

Enacting reflective and deliberative practices in action research

ABSTRACT

We consider action research as a form of deliberative policy analysis. This analysis explores a “reconstruction clinic” in which stakeholders and public officials engaged memories, hopes and obligations as they sought to resolve controversies over details of policy implementation. We ask how institutional design shaped participants’ reflective and deliberative progress. Reflection in action can prompt not only changes in cognitive frames, but new behavioural capacities for action. Deliberative practices can shape new relationships between parties through the work of apology, recognition, appreciation, and emergent collaboration.     

Amassing rural power in the fight against fracking in Maryland: A report from the field

ABSTRACT

Social workers can mobilize vulnerable populations to shape policy decisions about industrial practices that could have adverse impacts on their wellbeing. One such practice is hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” to extract oil and natural gas from shale rock deposits. There is scant social work literature on mobilizing opposition to fracking despite a proliferation of literature from other disciplines. This article documents the campaign in Maryland that led to the adoption of the first legislative ban on fracking in a U.S. state with shale gas reserves, using social movement theory to identify factors that led to this successful outcome.
