Separated and integrated perspectives on environmental,economic, and social dimensions – an investigation of student views on sustainable development     

Teresa Berglund  Niklas Gericke 《Environmental Education Research》2016,22(8):1115-1138

The sustainable development (SD) concept is based on the idea that economic and social development should be linked to the environment. However, controversies about various associated issues often arise due to the differences in protagonists’ viewpoints, depending partly on whether they focus mainly on environmental, economic, or social dimensions and partly on ideological stances related (for instance) to the optimal ways of promoting economic growth and social justice. This study investigates views of 638 Swedish upper secondary students who responded to a questionnaire probing their views of SD from two perspectives. In the first, the dimensions were separately introduced, so the respondents only had to consider one dimension at a time. In the second, the dimensions were introduced in an integrated fashion, so the respondents had to consider effects related to all three dimensions. The results strongly indicate that the students’ views and priorities concerning the dimensions depend on both the perspective and the context. Implications for teaching and learning are discussed.  相似文献   

Should Science be Taught in Early Childhood?     

Haim?EshachEmail author  Michael?N.?Fried 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2005,14(3):315-336

This essay considers the question of why we should teach science to K-2. After initial consideration of two traditional reasons for studying science, six assertions supporting the idea that even small children should be exposed to science are given. These are, in order: (1) Children naturally enjoy observing and thinking about nature. (2) Exposing students to science develops positive attitudes towards science. (3) Early exposure to scientific phenomena leads to better understanding of the scientific concepts studied later in a formal way. (4) The use of scientifically informed language at an early age influences the eventual development of scientific concepts. (5) Children can understand scientific concepts and reason scientifically. (6) Science is an efficient means for developing scientific thinking. Concrete illustrations of some of the ideas discussed in this essay, particularly, how language and prior knowledge may influence the development of scientific concepts, are then provided. The essay concludes by emphasizing that there is a window of opportunity that educators should exploit by presenting science as part of the curriculum in both kindergarten and the first years of primary school.  相似文献   

公共空间的散文写作--关于90年代中国散文的对话(下)     

福建师范大学文学院中国现当代文学教研室 《福建师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2001,(1):43-48

向现代散文致敬 汪文顶:散文从不被注意到被普遍阅读,这是令人兴奋的现象.若从80、90年代散文发展的角度观察,90年代散文是80年代散文解放运动的延续与深化,又可以当作现代散文的复兴与发展.80、90年代散文瓦解了建国后散文领域里形成的某种陈规与模式.新时期散文对散文历史的最大反拨是把原有的陈规打破,起了思想解放作用.我认为散文解放运动到目前为止仍在延续.  相似文献

关于加强人大对财政预算审查监督的法律思考     

陈丹  张俨 《宁波广播电视大学学报》2005,3(1):42-45

审查、批准财政预算并监督预算执行，是宪法和法律赋予各级人大及其常委会的一项重要职权，但囿于种种原因，人大审批监督预算的权力和其他权力一样并未得以有效行使。为建立一个廉洁高效的政府。为确保社会主义财政真正实现取之于民，用之于民，以健全配套法律，改革预算机制，理顺审计体制等方式不断推进和完善人大审查监督财政预算机制势在必行。  相似文献

Maintaining teachers’ face in the context of change: results from a study of Vietnamese college lecturers’ perceptions of face     

Thi Quynh Trang Nguyen 《Teachers and Teaching》2017,23(1):78-90

Gaining and saving face are very important in Vietnam as a mechanism of social control, including the professional behaviour of teachers. Interviews with 15 lecturers (aged 24–37) at a teacher training college in a Central Coast province of Vietnam illustrated the relationship between their concepts of face and their beliefs about good teaching. Most were still strongly influenced by traditional Confucian beliefs about the role and position of teachers, the nature of teachers’ knowledge and the relationship between teachers and students. On the other hand, some teachers also were aware of, and to a limited extent open to, more modern ideas that seemed to be related to broad social changes and reforms in approaches to teaching and learning in recent decades in Vietnam. The findings suggest that some teacher educators are uncertain about the value of traditional professional wisdom in the context of critical changes in society and in education. The research also suggests that the concepts of face and saving face are important for teachers’ sense of agency, and that Vietnamese educational authorities could increase the effectiveness of innovations in teacher education by paying attention to the influence of concepts of face on the teachers’ beliefs and behaviours.  相似文献   

Challenging from the margins into the mainstream—improving renal services in a collaborative and entrepreneurial spirit     

Margaret Attwood 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2007,4(2):191-198

Can the development, both clinical and managerial, of practitioners involved in healthcare be enriched by connecting action learning principles and practice with research on ‘tempered radicals’? Might such connection also assist the efforts of patients and their advocates to create more holistic approaches to patient care? This paper explores these questions with reference to a UK Department of Health project to improve renal services. The prime focus is the experience of a set of set advisers who ‘held the ring’ on the project, supporting the work of the sets and attempting to make sense of the emerging learning.  相似文献
