为着公共利益的教育哲学:五个挑战与一个议程     

格特·比斯塔  赵康 《教育学报》2011,7(4)

1917年,杜威在他的一篇名为《哲学复兴的需要》的文章中写道:“当哲学不再是处理哲学家们的问题的手段时,而是成为由哲学家们发展出来的处理人类问题的方法时,哲学就得以复兴了.”在这篇论文中,我论述教育哲学也是如此,因为教育哲学应当聚焦在教育问题上,而不是哲学问题上.当然,教育哲学应当以哲学专长来面对教育问题.这不仅是一个学术任务,而且是一个政治任务,特别是在一个教育作为公共利益的观念遭遇压力的时代,在一个教育日益被看成个人利益和经济利益的时代,尤为如此.我在文中阐述了在我看来教育哲学家能有所贡献的五个领域.它们不仅为未来的教育哲学工作提供了一个议程,而且为转向存在主义的教育哲学建构了一个论述.这个转向包括在所有教育中都含有我所认为的“美丽风险”.  相似文献   

Education,Accountability, and the Ethical Demand: Can the Democratic Potential of Accountability Be Regained?   总被引：8，自引：0，他引：8  

Gert J.J. Biesta 《Educational theory》2004,54(3):233-250

This paper analyzes the impact of the idea of accountability on education. It considers the kind of relationships that are promoted or produced by the culture of accountability, both in order to understand what kind of relationships are made possible and to understand what kind of relationships are made difficult, or even impossible, as a result of the accountability regime. The paper explores how the managerial uses of the idea of accountability have become pervasive in contemporary education and how this has changed relationships among students, parents, teachers, and the state. Ultimately, accountability erodes relationships of responsibility. Zygmunt Bauman's "postmodern ethics" is used to gain a detailed understanding of why it has become so much more difficult to develop relationships of responsibility under the accountability regime. Bauman's proposal that we should take responsibility for our responsibility also suggests a starting point from which the democratic potential of accountability might be regained.  相似文献   

Reconciling ourselves to reality: Arendt,education and the challenge of being at home in the world     

Gert Biesta 《Journal of educational administration and history》2016,48(2):183-192

ABSTRACT

In this paper, I explore the educational significance of the work of Hannah Arendt through reflections on four papers that constitute this special issue. I focus on the challenge of reconciling ourselves to reality, that is, of being at home in the world. Although Arendt's idea of being at home in the world is connected to her explorations of understanding, such understanding should not be approached as a matter of sense making, but in terms of ‘eccentric judgement’. For judgement to be eccentric, we must expose ourselves to otherness, which has to do with friendship if we understand friendship as a public rather than an entirely private matter. While political judgement requires a ‘being in the presence of others’ Arendt's views on thinking and its role in moral judgement indicate the necessity of solitude, of being alone with oneself. Rather than seeing this a process through which one calls oneself into question, I highlight the importance of the experience of being called into question, which I understand as the experience of ‘being taught’. I conclude that the educational significance of Arendt's work particularly lies in this link with teaching, and less so in notions of learning, reflection and sense making.  相似文献   

How is Education Possible? Preliminary investigations for a theory of education     

Raf  Vanderstraeten Gert J.J.  Biesta 《Educational Philosophy and Theory》2001,33(1):7-21

The following text is the result of our ongoing discussions about the notion of intersubjectivity and its significance for an understanding of the process of education.Rather than merging our sometimes diverging ideas into one single line of argument, we decided to try if we could make the movement of divergence and convergence of our thoughts visible in the text itself.
Although we definitely explore different pathways, these pathways lead to a similar insight.This is, that it is not the educator who educates, but that it is the educational 'situation'—a situation constituted though not determined by the interaction between the educator and the student—which educates.This educational situation, which one of us describes as an 'in between space', emerges from the interaction between the educator and the student.In this respect we can say that it results from the difference between the partners in education.The in-between space of education is an emerging reality, which not only comes into existence as a result of the difference between the partners in education but in fact only exists in this difference.
It is precisely in this respect that the form of the following article provides an example of what we want to say about the process of education.The point is, to put it briefly, that this article contains or expresses a meaning that results from the difference between the two texts, but this meaning is neither something that can be attributed to the two texts as such (in this sense this emerging meaning is constituted though not determined by the two texts), nor—and this is crucial—is it something that can be articulated in any positive way in a third text.The interaction between our two texts therefore creates a reality that results from the difference between the texts and only exists in this difference.The order of authorship expresses the fact that the first author wrote the left column and the second author the right column.  相似文献   

Assessing students’ development in learning approaches according to initial learning profiles: A person-oriented perspective     

Gert Vanthournout  Liesje Coertjens  David Gijbels  Vincent Donche  Peter Van Petegem 《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2013

Research regarding the development of students’ learning approaches have at times reported unexpected or lack of expected changes. The current study explores the idea of differential developments in learning approaches according to students’ initial learning profiles as a possible explanation for these outcomes. A learning profile is conceived as the degree to which students use aspects of deep and surface approaches in their learning process and taking into account the dynamic interrelations between these aspects. Two cohorts of students in a teacher-training course-module completed questionnaires measuring their learning approaches, in a pre-test post-test design. Analyses on the whole sample indicated few significant changes in students’ learning approaches during the course-module. Only a significant decrease in the deep motive subscale was found. Hierarchical cluster-analysis revealed four groups of students with specific initial learning profiles: a deep approach profile, a surface approach profile, an all-low profile and an all-high profile. Using a regressor variable approach, significant differences in growth were found for the initial learning profiles on the surface approach to learning and the deep strategy scale, even after controlling for other significant background variables such as students’ academic discipline and gender. These results suggest that unexpected developments in students’ learning approaches, or lack of significant changes at a whole-group level, may be partially due to dynamic (contradictory) tendencies at the sub-group level. Findings point towards the need of looking at approaches to learning at a more fine-grained level.  相似文献

A NEW LOGIC OF EMANCIPATION: THE METHODOLOGY OF JACQUES RANCIÈRE     

Gert Biesta 《Educational theory》2010,60(1):39-59

The idea of emancipation plays a central role in modern educational theories and practices. The emancipatory impetus is particularly prominent in critical traditions and approaches where the aim of education is conceived as that of emancipating students from oppressive structures in the name of social justice and human freedom. What is needed to effect emancipation, so it is assumed in this tradition, is an exposition of the workings of power, as it is only when one sees and understands how power operates that it is possible to address its influence. In several of his publications the French philosopher Jacques Rancière has raised questions about the logic of this view of emancipation. Throughout his career Rancière has also worked consistently on the articulation of a different approach, an alternative way to understand and do emancipation. In this essay Gert Biesta provides a systematic reconstruction of Rancière's ideas on emancipation from three angles: political theory, political practice, and the practice of education. Biesta argues that Rancière provides us with a new and different way to understand how education might contribute to emancipation and also where and how, often in the name of emancipation and democracy, it actually hinders emancipation.  相似文献   

Replication studies in economics—How many and which papers are chosen for replication,and why?     

Frank Mueller-Langer  Benedikt Fecher  Dietmar Harhoff  Gert G. Wagner 《Research Policy》2019,48(1):62-83

We investigate how often replication studies are published in empirical economics and what types of journal articles are replicated. We find that between 1974 and 2014 0.1% of publications in the top 50 economics journals were replication studies. We consider the results of published formal replication studies (whether they are negating or reinforcing) and their extent: Narrow replication studies are typically devoted to mere replication of prior work, while scientific replication studies provide a broader analysis. We find evidence that higher-impact articles and articles by authors from leading institutions are more likely to be replicated, whereas the replication probability is lower for articles that appeared in top 5 economics journals. Our analysis also suggests that mandatory data disclosure policies may have a positive effect on the incidence of replication.  相似文献   

Effect of a Fast-skin 'body' suit on drag during front crawl swimming     

Toussaint HM  Truijens M  Elzinga MJ  van de Ven A  de Best H  Snabel B  de Groot G 《Sports biomechanics / International Society of Biomechanics in Sports》2002,1(1):1-10

The effect on drag of a Speedo Fast-skin suit compared to a conventional suit was studied in 13 subjects (6 males, 7 females) swimming at different velocities between 1.0 and 2.0 m.s-1. The active drag force was directly measured during front crawl swimming using a system of underwater push-off pads instrumented with a force transducer (MAD system). For a range of swimming speeds (1.1, 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7 m.s-1), drag values were estimated. On a group level, a statistically non-significant drag reduction effect of 2% was observed for the Fast-skin suit (p = 0.31). Therefore, the 7.5% reduction in drag claimed by the swimwear manufacturer was not corroborated.  相似文献
