Abstract Theorists often take a condescending stance when speaking about the educationalization of social problems. Given their confidence with postmodern and poststructuralist perspectives, the educationalization of social problems is easily perceived as a set of questionable interventions by governments into educational practices. In this essay, Bert Lambeir and Stefan Ramaekers question the extent to which one can conceive of social problems without an understanding of education or, put more sharply, the extent to which social problems are conceivable without some form of educationalization. After describing four meanings of the concept of educationalization, Lambeir and Ramaekers discuss three popular criticisms of it. With these criticisms as context, the authors use the example of concerns about and initiatives in health education to investigate whether education can be completely freed from the educationalization of social issues. They conclude that it cannot.  相似文献   

Child Rearing: Passivity and being able to go on. Wittgenstein on shared practices and seeing aspects     

Stefan  Ramaekers & Paul  Smeyers 《Educational Philosophy and Theory》2008,40(5):638-651

It is not uncommon to hear parents say in discussions they have with their children 'Look at it this way'. And called upon for their advice, counsellors too say something to adults with the significance of 'Try to see it like this'. The change of someone's perspective in the context of child rearing is the focus of this paper. Our interest in this lies not so much in giving an answer to the practical problems that are at stake, but at disentangling the issues on a conceptual level. Within the so-called second part of his Philosophical Investigations , Wittgenstein deals with shared practices and with concepts such as 'seeing' and 'seeing as'. What he says there is in terms of content linked with his earlier Tractatus position concerning ethics, a matter which will first be dealt with. After that, the relevant sections of his later work are discussed. Following Cavell, it is concluded that to try to get someone to see what one sees, necessarily presupposes giving it out of one's hands. The passivity this points at highlights what Erziehung in the end comes down to.  相似文献   

A behaviour‐genetic analysis of orthographic learning,spelling and decoding     

Brian Byrne  William L. Coventry  Richard K. Olson  Jacqueline Hulslander  Sally Wadsworth  John C. DeFries  Robin Corley  Erik G. Willcutt  Stefan Samuelsson 《Journal of Research in Reading》2008,31(1):8-21

As part of a longitudinal twin study of literacy and language, we conducted a behaviour‐genetic analysis of orthographic learning, spelling and decoding in Grade 2 children (225 identical and 214 fraternal twin pairs) in the United States and Australia. Each variable showed significant genetic and unique environment influences. Multivariate analyses revealed very high genetic correlations among the variables, indicating that the same genes are involved in their aetiology. These genes are partly independent of those contributing to intelligence. A further analysis indicated that the covariation between decoding and orthographic learning is mediated by shared genes rather than by a direct causal path. The authors argue that a learning parameter, most directly assessed by orthographic learning in this study, underlies all three literacy variables. The results are also discussed in relation to Share's self‐teaching hypothesis, which may require modification.  相似文献   

Learning for an unknown context: a comparative case study on some Swedish and Polish Political Science students' experiences of the transition from university to working life     

Kristina Johansson  Lucyna Kopciwicz  Lars Owe Dahlgren 《Compare》2008,38(2):219-231

This comparative small‐scale (Swedish and Polish sample) longitudinal qualitative study investigates political science students' conceptions of their studies, their future profession and their workplace learning. The students (10 in Sweden and 11 in Poland) were interviewed twice, first when they were at the end of their studies and a second time when they had worked for approximately one year. The questions asked were designed to try to understand the transition from higher education to work life. The results indicate that they bring with them a set of academic generic skills from their education when they enter working life. Furthermore, the students in the two countries have very different perceptions of the subject Political Science, and the expectations they have regarding their studies and future working life also differ considerably.  相似文献   

语言正在全球5个热点地区快速消亡     

Stefan Lovgren 《英语沙龙》2008,(1)

语言学家警告说,每两个星期就至少有一种语言从地球上消亡。语言消亡这种现象是语言自身进化中的一个阶段还是退化中的一个阶段?在一些语言消亡的同时,一些新的语言也在出现。我们要尽可能地挽救语言消亡给人类文化带来的损失,但就语言本身来说,我们也不需要过分恐慌……  相似文献   

前西班牙时代那哇特尔文化的口头性与书面性     

帕特里克·约翰松  刘明 《新疆师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2008,29(1):43-49

在西班牙占领本地之前,口头文学和图画文字是那哇特尔人表现、保留和传承其文化传统的有效工具.任何一篇文字的内容,都可以通过口述或者看图说话的方式来表达.这两种方式的表现力都远远地超过了言语本身,因为词语的"文本"在口头演出当中通过声音、手势、舞蹈、音乐、节奏、多彩的象形文字、特定的时空氛围而被"具体化"了.同样,书写的文本也因文字画、意符、音符以及颜色、形状、大小、位置、间隔关系、笔势以及图纹的双层影像等而被"具像化"了.尽管古抄本中的图画主要是被设计来"看"而不是(西方人观念中的)读的,很可能有与之相配的口述文本同时存在,它们从图像中生发而出,或者作为图本的补充存在.文章将涉及以下一些问题:第一,在前西班牙时代.人们是如何来"阅读"、也就是符号性地解释一个图画文本的?第二,图形比喻怎样触发口头表演?第三,口头演出如何"扎根"于图画?第四,言语的独白或对话在看图说话时如何得以运用或被参照?全部分析以那哇特尔(nahuatl)印地安人的手抄本和由西班牙人及其印地安助手们(根据当地土著的口述)所搜集和记录下的那哇特语文献为基础.  相似文献   

NEGOTIATING POLITICIANS’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN NEWS INTERVIEWS     

Mats Ekström  Monika Djerf-Pierre  Bengt Johansson  Nicklas Håkansson 《Journalism Practice》2016,10(8):983-1004

News interviews are contexts in which political responsibilities are articulated and negotiated. Although the accountability interview is recognized as a commonsense practice in journalism, and the research on political interviews is substantial, it partly remains to explore how responsibilities are negotiated in different forms of questioning in journalism. This study investigates three generic forms of questioning: accountability questioning, the clarifying of promises, and the principal assessments. Key features of the different forms are specified. The empirical study investigates how the questionings are performed in news on industrial crises in Sweden, in the different political regimes in the 1970s and the 2000s. The data consist of 27 news interviews with the formally responsible Ministers. The method is based on Conversation Analysis and includes detailed analyses of questions and answers. The study shows (1) how the forms of questioning differ when it comes to the action agenda and in how responsibilities are invoked and negotiated; (2) how the questionings tend to reproduce particular expectations of Governmental interventions; (3) how increased assertiveness and adversarialness in interviewing coincide with reduced expectations of political responsibilities.  相似文献   

Adaptive progressive download based on the MPEG-4 file format     

Färber Nikolaus  Döhla Stefan  Issing Jochen 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2006,7(1):106-111

In this paper we describe how progressive download and adaptive streaming can be combined into a simple and efficient streaming framework. Based on the MPEG-4 file format (MP4) we use HTTP for transport and argue that these two components are sufficient for specifying an open streaming architecture. The client selects appropriate chunks from the MP4 file to be transferred based on (1) the header information (i.e. the “moov” box) in the first part of the file and (2) his observation of network throughput. The framework is completely client driven which allows for better server scalability and reduces signalling overhead. We discuss architecture and implementation issues such as complexity, interoperability and scalability and compare to 3GPP PSS Rel-6 adaptive streaming when appropriate. Measurements from a simple MP4/HTTP streaming client are presented showing that appropriate chunks are selected such that increased reliability is achieved.  相似文献   

Der Mathematikunterricht der PISA-Schülerinnen und -Schüler     

Mareike Kunter  Martin Brunner  Jürgen Baumert  Uta Klusmann  Stefan Krauss  Werner Blum  Alexander Jordan  Michael Neubrand 《Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft》2005,8(4):502-520

Der Beitrag besch?ftigt sich mit dem Mathematikunterricht der PISA-Schülerinnen und -Schüler in Deutschland und berichtet über Ergebnisse aus einer Zusatzstudie zu PISA 2003. Aufbauend auf der mathematik-didaktischen Rahmenkonzeption von PISA, die Unterricht als Gelegenheitsstruktur für verst?ndnisvolle Lernprozesse versteht, wurden Schülerinnen und Schüler und ihre Mathematiklehrkr?fte zu Merkmalen der Unterrichtsqualit?t befragt. Es zeigen sich schulformspezifische Unterrichtskulturen: Ein kognitiv aktivierender Umgang mit mathematischen Inhalten ist eher in Gymnasien zu beobachten, w?hrend vor allem in Hauptschulen die Unterrichtsform mit geringem kognitiven Gehalt und ausgepr?gter Unterstützung überwiegt. Dennoch wird die Angebotsstruktur des Mathematikunterrichts von Jugendlichen an Hauptschulen positiv beurteilt, w?hrend Gymnasiasten ihren Unterricht eher kritisch bewerten. Diese Differenzen sind vor allem durch Unterschiede in der individuellen Lernunterstützung durch die Lehrkr?fte zu erkl?ren, welche von Schülerinnen und Schülern an Hauptschulen als besonders ausgepr?gt, an Gymnasien eher als gering beschrieben wird.  相似文献   

Development of software to support argumentative reading and writing by means of creating a graphic organizer from an electronic text     

Mochizuki  Toshio  Nishimori  Toshihisa  Tsubakimoto  Mio  Oura  Hiroki  Sato  Tomomi  Johansson  Henrik  Nakahara  Jun  Yamauchi  Yuhei 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2019,67(5):1197-1230

This paper describes the development of a software program that supports argumentative reading and writing, especially for novice students. The software helps readers create a graphic organizer from the text as a knowledge map while they are reading and use their prior knowledge to build their own opinion as new information while they think about writing their essays. Readers using this software can read a text, underline important words or sentences, pick up and dynamically cite the underlined portions of the text onto a knowledge map as quotation nodes, illustrate a knowledge map by linking the nodes, and later write their opinion as an essay while viewing the knowledge map; thus, the software bridges argumentative reading and writing. Sixty-three freshman and sophomore students with no prior argumentative reading and writing education participated in a design case study to evaluate the software in classrooms. Thirty-four students were assigned to a class in which each student developed a knowledge map after underlining and/or highlighting a text with the software, while twenty-nine students were assigned to a class in which they simply wrote their essays after underlining and/or highlighting the text without creating knowledge maps. After receiving an instruction regarding a simplified Toulmin’s model followed by instructions for the software usage in argumentative reading and writing along with reading one training text, the students read the target text and developed their essays. The results revealed that students who drew a knowledge map based on the underlining and/or highlighting of the target text developed more argumentative essays than those who did not draw maps. Further analyses revealed that developing knowledge maps fostered an ability to capture the target text’s argument, and linking students’ ideas to the text’s argument directly on the knowledge map helped students develop more constructive essays. Accordingly, we discussed additional necessary scaffolds, such as automatic argument detection and collaborative learning functions, for improving the students’ use of appropriate reading and writing strategies.
