India’s South-South Cooperation in Human Resource Development

ABSTRACT

The article reviews several of the main modalities of India’s human resources’ involvement with other developing economies, and especially those in Africa. These involve the provision of long-term scholarships and short-term professional training awards. Comparison is made, in the case of international students, between the scholarship and privately funded categories, and also between those from Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth countries. Comparable data on such assisted foreign student flows are also offered in respect of South Africa. Other modalities of India’s HRD engagement with Africa are analysed, including those associated with the India-African Forum Summits (IAFS). India also does capacity building through non-state actors, notably nongovernment organisations and the private sector. Furthermore, it promotes cultural diplomacy through its Indian Cultural Centres and Chairs of Indian Studies, though these are not restricted to developing economies. Although attention is paid to the Commonwealth dimension in these comparisons, it is acknowledged that the classification of students and countries as Commonwealth may not be as widespread or meaningful today as 60 years ago.     

网络政治信息对当代大学生政治社会化的影响及调控

在信息科学技术迅猛发展的今天,大学生政治社会化必然要受到网络政治信息的巨大影响,这些影响既有积极的一面,也有消极的一面。不断强化网络政治信息对大学生政治社会化的积极影响,逐步消解网络政治信息对大学生政治社会化的消极影响,对于大学生成长成才具有重要的现实意义。     

受助大学生感恩教育的错位与归位

高校在开展受助大学生感恩教育的过程中存在过分注重目标管理和感恩理论教育、教育手段与教育方式错位、教育的主体相对薄弱等问题,极大地削弱了受助大学生感恩教育的成效。高校应该加大对教育过程中学生感恩意识与感恩情感生成的关注,为大学生提供感恩实践的机会,促使大学生养成感恩的习惯。与此同时,受助大学生感恩教育应当建立家庭与学校、现实生活与网络空间的有效联动机制,确保受助大学生感恩教育的有效开展。     

空间社会学视角下大学生网络互动特征分析

网络的虚拟化、开放性、包容性特征给思想活跃的青年大学生以巨大的空间,缺场交往互动、价值观念集体认同、多重社会角色交织以及网络疯狂和现实孤独并存等逐步成为当代青年大学生网络互动的主要特征。     

England's New Scheme for Funding Higher Education through Student Fees: ‘Fair and Progressive’?

From September 2012 most home undergraduates at English universities are being charged fees of £9,000 per annum. These are funded by a government loan, which attracts interest from the moment they start their course; after three years their accumulated debt exceeds £30,000. They can also borrow to cover their living costs, on the same terms, so that those studying in London can graduate with a debt of more than £50,000—although those from low‐income families can obtain grants and universities are encouraged to provide bursaries and other support to students from underrepresented groups. Graduates start repaying their debts once their annual income exceeds £21,000—at a rate of 9% of the difference between their income and that figure: until the debt is fully repaid it continues to attract interest, by as much as three percentage points above the current inflation rate. Using data from a calculator on a government website, this paper shows that the highest‐paid graduates pay back less than those on middle incomes: the ‘squeezed middle’ pays back more not only than those on low incomes but also the better‐paid and those whose incomes increase more rapidly. This has differential effects according to occupation—and sex; and middle‐income groups also contribute more to the costs of widening participation programmes, which all universities charging more than £6,000 per annum are required to fund.     

来华留学生影响因素的实证分析

中国一直被认为是世界上最大的留学生输出国,到目前为止,这一地位依然没有改变,但是被忽视的一点是,2011年中国已经成为世界第十大留学生接收国。研究发现,中国的研究与开发投入占GDP的份额、高等教育入学率,以及中国与十大来华留学生输出国的GDP差距是影响来华留学生的最主要的三大因素。但是,世界前500名大学排名中中国大学数量,在所有因素中影响作用最小。由此可见,就目前来看,相对于中国的经济增长来说,中国高等教育的质量并不是主要吸引留学生来中国学习的主要因素。但是,目的国的高等教育质量才是吸引留学生的最根本因素。因此,要进一步提升中国高等教育质量,保证我国留学生的教育的可持续发展。     

Teaching Race and Crime

Abstract

This paper examines the experiences of a select group of faculty (N = 37) from across the country who teach courses related to race and crime. Using survey methodology, the researchers solicited the faculty members' views on the course as well as their experience in teaching the course. The research was also designed to determine the receptivity of students to the course, as well as the nature of the evaluation scores of instructors who teach these courses. Most instructors reported having had a good teaching experience and felt the course should be required. Respondents also indicated that their teaching evaluation scores for race and crime courses were generally in line with their scores for other courses. The research found very minimal differences between the teaching evaluation scores of white and nonwhite race and crime instructors. Students were perceived to be generally enthusiastic about taking this course.     

我国高校学生科研存在的问题及其应对措施——以中国劳动关系学院为例

学生科研活动主要是一种研究性的学习活动,而不是独立的科研活动,不仅仅是为了取得科研成果,而主要目的则是进行科研的学习与训练.我国高校学生科研总体上处于起步阶段,存在着许多亟待解决的问题.解决学生科研问题的主要措施包括:设立专门的学生科研主管部门;加强学生正规的学术训练;建立学生科研导师制度;培养学生的团队协作精神,加强学术道德教育;加强学生科研实践基地建设.     

大学生就业问题与社会工作的介入

大学生就业问题已成为社会各界关注的热点。大学生就业困难主要有供求两方面的原因,而如今的思想政治教育和心理辅导不能适应新的发展趋势。社会工作以其独有的优势在解决大学生就业问题上将会扮演重要角色。     

社会价值观与大学生心理健康

社会价值观和大学生心理健康是一个互动的过程。在价值多元的中国当代，这一过程呈现出不成熟性与可塑性、矛盾性与困惑性并存的特征。国家与社会要增强科学合理的社会价值观的引导与宣传，而高校教育则应该加强正面的社会价值观教育和大学生心理健康教育的互动方面的内容。
