师范生跨学科教学素养及其培养路径探索

通过探讨跨学科教学素养的内涵，强调培养师范生跨学科教学素养的重要性，指出了当前师范生跨学科教学素养培养中存在问题，并从优化人才培养方案、构建跨学科培养的课程体系、建立跨学科的学习社区、提供多样化的学习资源和活动以及提供跨学科的评估方式和反馈机制等方面，提出了培养跨学科教学素养的途径，以期为培养师范生成为具有跨学科视野和能力的优秀教师提供参考。     

文理科研究生科学素养现状的比较调查

科学素养是衡量一个国家国民素质的重要指标，而研究生作为国家主要科研力量来源，其科学素养将直接反映国家科技进步的基础。社会普遍认为：文科生在科学素养上与理科生存在较大差异。本研究自编问卷对文理科研究生科学素养现状进行了调查，结果发现：文理科研究生在达到具备科学素养标准的比例上不存在显著差异；研究生在科学素养总体水平上好于一般公众。     

大学生信息素质教育与文献检索课的定位

信息素质是大学生综合素质的重要组成部分,文献检索教育是信息素质教育的重要形式,文献检索课开设二十年来为大学生信息素质的培养发挥过很大作用,在现代信息社会里文献检索教育更是信息素质教育的重要形式。     

信息技术环境下高校科研团队建设途径研究

目前,针对我国高校科研团队建设中存在的问题,国内学者提出了相应的对策,但随着社会的发展和信息技术的广泛应用,信息技术也对高校科研团队的建设产生巨大影响,在这种背景下,必须寻求一条适应现代社会发展的高校科研团队建设新途径。信息技术促进了科研团队管理观和建设观的改革,为科研活动提供了技术支持,提高了团队能效。在信息技术环境下,高校科研团队的建设要打破地域限制和组织壁垒,要以高校信息化发展为导向,要大力加强计算机软硬件及网络资源建设,同时要提高科研人员的信息素养。     

Civic Literacy and Social Work Education: Results From a Multi-Site Study

Given the decline in civic literacy among Americans, social work educators can no longer assume that students come prepared with the civic knowledge necessary for competent advocacy or policy practice. This article examines rates of civic knowledge among social work students at four social work education programs across the United States (U.S.). Findings indicate that although social work students score higher than the general U.S. adult population, their civic knowledge scores are still low, with nearly a third of these students falling in the failing range. Results suggest that social work students need additional content on civic knowledge.     

Enhancing Information Literacy in an Interdisciplinary Collaboration

ABSTRACT

The study examined the impact of an interdisciplinary collaborative on the information literacy of its participants by using legitimate peripheral participation (Lave & Wenger, 1991) as a conceptual framework. The objectives of this exploratory study were to document participants' qualitative gains in information technology knowledge and uses, and to analyze expert involvement in supporting learning by novices. Data were gathered by using a participation observation approach, interviews, and survey. Participants cited more frequently the non-technical aspects of information literacy as being more beneficial than gains in technical know-how. Varying degrees of expert involvement ranging from enabling to instructing were identified. The implications in terms of convening and managing communities of practice and the development of legitimate peripheral participation theory are discussed.     

Designing optimal routing strategies for a manufacturer: A case study

A study of the vehicle transportation system for a manufacturer is presented. An algorithm based on a dynamic programming model is developed so as to find the optimal transportation arrangements referring to the composition of the vehicles as well as the routing of these vehicles. The algorithm is run under the current condition as well as under a number of different scenarios. It is shown the algorithm can solve the problem with reduced computational complexity. The findings and suggestions resulting from the study can help the department manager in reviewing current operations arrangement and determining future operations arrangements.     

对高校继续教育学院开设文献检索课的思考

在高校继续教育学院开设文献检索课,不仅能使学生广泛了解信息检索的方法,培养学生的信息素养;而且能在很大程度上提高他们的信息收集和处理能力。所以,高校继续教育学院应将文献检索课作为必修课,加强师资队伍建设,以通识教育为基础,设计与继续教育学生相适宜的教学体系,以提高文献检索课的有效性。     

New Labour and Pensions Reform: Security in Retirement?

New Labour has defined the problem of security in retirement as one of undersaving and has sought to resolve it both by measures which encourage saving and by improving financial literacy. The article discusses both of these approaches, arguing that each is flawed and that, in addition, New Labour's pension policy exhibits several tensions which threaten to undermine the objective of providing a secure income in retirement.     

Shoplifters of the World Unite! Law and Culture in Financialized Times

The last two decades have seen significant growth and change in the character of the interactions between working-class households and financial markets. Individuals and households are bearing more and more of the risks that were once managed by governments and employers, and financial markets have developed a vast range of products to facilitate that risk transfer. This has put households at the centre of financial innovation, requiring the extension of regulation and consumer protection into a whole new suite of financial products and a project of financial literacy and advice. Along with this financial development and its associated regulatory demands has come a new cultural project of capital seeking to normalize the expanded integration of individuals and households into capital's frontiers of accumulation. The project invites and invokes new forms of subjectivity (and subjugation) on the part of households. The developmental project required of state regulatory regimes is increasingly articulating not just a discourse of financial literacy but subordination to the individualism and discipline implicit in financial calculation. Contrary to its conception as spontaneous and individualist, this is an intentional and universalizing project of producing and managing labour's financial risks. In the collective self-management of these risks, the household is now not just a site of risk absorption; it is a major source of investment products (and, therefore, at the frontier of accumulation). Increasingly also, in the name of financial stability, households – not just those reliant on state support – are becoming subjects of surveillance and administration in their internal financial functioning. It is these dual aspects of households as both consumers and producers of financial claims that give materiality to conceptual and historical claims about the financialization of everyday life.
