How the West was Won: A Deconstruction of Politicised Colonial Engineering

History has taught us that the Global North's attempts to ‘civilise' the rest of the world's population, both now and in colonial times, have been fraught with difficulty. This paper argues that this difficulty is mainly owing to the political standpoint and positioning of our perceived engineering and technical superiority. A failure to recognise this viewpoint and to change the way in which we work together—in a global sense—to solve issues such as climate change, threatens our ability to survive as a species. Political standpoints on such issues still assume a superiority of governments in the Global North. This paper retraces colonial engineering projects, mainly directed from the UK, that failed to consider the development of other populations in the world, and their needs. It is also posited that our exploitation in the Global North, which assumes historical superiority as a basic premise, will fail in tackling major issues. Change is needed through a decolonisation of engineering projects, and western engineering curricula that are used to train future professionals. Evidence of the impact of decolonisation on the engineering discipline itself is scarce, but nevertheless, a response is needed to ensure that a more inclusive curriculum and narrative is developed.

全球化背景下我国高等教育课程改革刍议

全球化正在渗透于我们的生活之中 ,不仅影响了经济领域 ,也影响到教育领域。全球化代表着一种经济主义的倾向 ,这种经济主义的价值观及其新自由主义的哲学基础对学校课程的影响是深远的 ,它要求学校课程与教学有根本性的改变。其一 ,课程目标要体现全球精神 ;其二 ,课程结构要保证灵活性和弹性 ;最后 ,课程决策要张扬权力分离。     

论模拟法庭课程的设置与实施

法律教育史上的两种典型的课程模式，即大陆法系的“学科中心课程模式”与英美法系的“活动中心课程模式”，大致对应于教育学史上所形成的“学科中心课程论”和“实践中心课程论”。模拟法庭课程的设置，可以借鉴布鲁纳的结构主义教育理论，结合两种传统法律课程模式的优点，科学规划该课程设置的主体、原则和步骤，拟定合理的课程实施方案，争取为中国的法治建设培养出更多、更优秀的法律人才。     

对公安院校课程建设的思考

课程建设是高校教学工作中的一个重要环节。课程建设需要良好的教学条件和优秀的师资队伍，提高质量意识、加强科学研究是课程建设的必然选择。就公安院校来看，课程建设质量在一定程度上对公安教育效益有决定性作用。公安院校的课程建设与其它高校相比还有一定的差距，有待继续努力。     

COLLEGE OR BUST: REPLACING “COLLEGE PREP FOR ALL” WITH A THREE‐TIERED EDUCATIONAL MODEL BASED ON STUDENT ABILITIES

A new educational trend has developed over the past decade that may actually be doing more harm to high school students than good. States have been passing legislation requiring high school students to complete a college prep‐level curriculum in order to receive a high school diploma. While this push for higher academic achievement is a great idea, students are not given the educational base they need to be able to succeed in such a program once they reach high school and many are left without the skills necessary to handle such academic expectations. This Note proposes guidelines for changing these rigid state statutes in favor of a Three‐Tiered System that gives students options based on their academic abilities and urges states to adopt these changes.     

高职经管类专业课程开发初探

高职经管类专业与工程技术类专业具有明显的不同特征，在基于工作过程的课程开发中要认识其特征、明确基本要求及步骤，并要处理好“六个关系”。     

论教师课堂中的行动逻辑

自2001年以来,中国大陆地区开始了自上而下的新课程改革实验。政府和教育专家们基于教育理念决定教育行为的认识,对广大教师实施了大规模的培训,旨在灌输新理念。通过对小学教师访谈材料的分析,认为真正长期决定教师课堂行为的是教师对课堂有效性的选择,这其中既包括早年获得的缄默知识和长期形成的教育惯习,也包含所在群体组织的集体性的知识环境。
