Engagement in Language Policies and Practices with and for Vietnamese Minority Student Youth     

Thuy Thi Ngoc Bui 《Journal of Language, Identity & Education》2018,17(5):277-291

Drawing on the recent call for repositioning youth as creative and responsible agents in language and education research (e. g., McCarty & Wyman, 2009) and the notion of engaged ethnography (e.g., Davis & Phyak, 2015), the researcher engaged 16 minority student youth in a remote mountainous province in Vietnam in interrogating the realities of the current language policies (LP) while working actively with them to give rise to effective and responsive LP transformations. Youth’s resistance to the current LP, their critical awareness of their linguistic wealth, and their comprehensive recommendations for LP improvements greatly affirm themselves as resourceful and responsible agents in decision-making and pedagogical revitalizations. This article calls for respecting and recognizing youth’s power, voices, and rights, and invites them to deconstruct educational policies to promote multilingualism and effective educational change. Towards this end, I discuss implications to promote youth engagement in language education policies and practices.  相似文献   

Uncomfortable pedagogy: experiential learning as an anthropological encounter in the Asia-Pacific     

Julius Bautista 《Pedagogies: An International Journal》2018,13(3):246-259

This paper features a discussion of how educators can channel anthropological practices towards the enhancement of experiential learning (EL) teaching methods, particularly on the topic of religion across the Asia-Pacific. I argue that our capacity to achieve curricular objectives through EL calls for an attentiveness to the affinity between the empirical challenges confronted by ethnographers, who work to create rapport between researcher and subject, and classroom teachers who seek to cultivate a conducive learning environment beyond the classroom walls. I show the pedagogical implications of the ways anthropologists have operationalized their discipline’s “critical turn” by highlighting two experiential domains: (1) through activities of “uncomfortable” stereotype self-inventory and (2) through a dialogic pedagogy that pursues meaningful learning outcomes through the “struggle” to recognize inter-cultural and religious agency among students.  相似文献   

论体育民族志研究的方法论及其新趋势     

韦晓康  熊欢 《北京体育大学学报》2018,41(9):112-119

摘要：以体育民族志研究的方法论为研究对象,运用文献资料法对中外体育民族志研究及其方法论的沿革进行了梳理,通过比较中外体育民族志研究方法论特征及其变化趋势,发现当前我国研究存在的问题,并提出体育民族志研究方法论的发展方向。研究表明,体育民族志是对与人类身体活动及其相关文化田野调查研究的真实记录、描述与阐释,以“异文化”研究来反思作为“民族传统体育”表现形式的“他者”与“研究者”的本体论贯通;同时需实现从“关于身体的写作”到“通过身体的研究”的转变,进而实现以身体活动为表现形式的体育文化在当今社会对人类生存与发展担当重任与发挥作用。对于实证、整体、相对的体育民族志方法的认知和理解需要更多的认识论和方法论思考,创造质性方法与定量方法的互补、人类学理论的综合运用、研究者与他者的关系等兼合的“体育民族志”研究体系,从而构成了在体育民族志方法论和研究方法方面的新形态。  相似文献
