This study examines how the linguistic landscape of a university in the midwestern United States has changed since the COVID-19 pandemic, and how that change has discursively constructed the identities of the university and its community. The focus lies in the newly displayed semiotics that provides information about preventing the virus from spreading. By analysing public signs such as flyers, posters, and banners whose contents have to do with COVID-19, this study found the following five ways in which the institution and community express their identities and voices. The university’s identity has shifted to that of an agent that acts to encourage a united effort to protect itself and its community; a caring entity that cares about community members; a site for community members’ voice expression; a space creator to expand interaction from physical to online discourses; and an information deliverer for international members of the community. This study calls for research that investigates the global pandemic’s influence on the linguistic landscape.
本研究考察了自2019冠状病毒病大流行以来,美国中西部一所大学的语言景观如何发生变化,以及这种变化如何在话语上构建了大学及其社区的身份。重点在于新显示的符号学,它提供了防止病毒传播的信息。本研究通过分析传单、海报、横幅等与新冠肺炎相关的公共标志,发现了机构和社区表达身份和声音的五种方式。大学的身份已经转变为一个代理人,鼓励团结一致,保护自己和社区;关心社区成员的有爱心的实体;社区成员声音表达的网站;将互动从实体话语扩展到网络话语的空间创造者;也是社区国际成员的信息传递者。这项研究呼吁对全球大流行对语言格局的影响进行调查。

The gender gap remains an issue in the biological education community. This study explores the extent to which an egalitarian gender ideology, encapsulated in five biological science textbooks for upper secondary schools in China, manifests through representational, interactive and compositional meanings of social semiotic theory. The findings reveal that females in the textbooks tend to be depicted as passive and inferior to males. More males are represented as playing pioneering and leading roles, as opposed to females, who are cast in assistant and subordinate roles in professional activities. The gendered messages delivered have the potential to disempower female students’ career aspirations and adversely regulate their perceptions and projections of gender identities in biological science.
性别差距仍然是生物教育界的一个问题。本研究探讨了中国五本高中生物科学教材中所包含的平等性别意识形态在多大程度上通过社会符号学理论的表征、互动和组合意义来体现。研究结果表明,教科书中的女性往往被描绘成被动的,不如男性。更多的男性扮演先锋和领导角色,而女性则在专业活动中扮演助理和下属角色。传递的性别信息有可能剥夺女学生的职业抱负,并对她们在生物科学中对性别认同的看法和预测产生不利影响。

This article reflects on the successes and failures of student protests in transforming higher education in South Africa through a Marxist lens. The slow pace of change by the government in addressing structural and systemic inequalities has led to disgruntlement within the student body. In their quest to hasten the process, students engaged in protests across the country, inspired by the #RhodesMustFall movement. This article outlines the problematic areas that have led to the unrest and reflects on the #FeesMustFall movement: the lessons learnt and its impact on contemporary higher education. The reflection further unpacks what it means to be a student in South Africa and how the learning process shapes and is shaped by the student movements within universities. The study reviewed existing literature on the #FeesMustFall movement to better understand the influence of student protests on government policy and to evaluate whether any protest-based changes have occurred in higher education in South Africa.
本文通过马克思主义的视角反思了南非高等教育改革中学生抗议活动的成功与失败。政府在解决结构性和系统性不平等问题上的改革步伐缓慢,导致学生群体内部不满。为了加快这一进程,受#RhodesMustWall运动的启发,学生们在全国各地参加了抗议活动。这篇文章概述了导致动乱的问题领域,并反思了#FeesMustWall运动:吸取的教训及其对当代高等教育的影响。这一反思进一步揭示了在南非学习意味着什么,以及大学内的学生运动如何塑造和塑造学习过程。该研究回顾了有关#FeesMustWall运动的现有文献,以更好地了解学生抗议对政府政策的影响,并评估南非高等教育是否发生了任何基于抗议的变化。

“Only What’s Right”: Normalising Children’s Gender Discourses in Kindergarten (The Case of Montenegro) “只有正确的”:幼儿园儿童性别话语的规范化(以黑山为例)

This article presents results from qualitative research on children’s dominant gender discourses in kindergarten and the influence of the socio-pedagogical aspects of kindergarten culture, transmitted via teachers’ gender discourses and personal epistemologies, on the construction of children’s gender discourses and identities. The main questions guiding our research were: What gender stories are narrated in a group, and under which influences do these stories become established as norms? Our understanding of gender is based on the feminist poststructuralist perspective. Our research in two Montenegrin kindergartens with 54 children and four teachers during a two-week period showed a dominance of the binary opposition discourse of “hegemonic masculinity” and “emphasised femininity”, with an emphasis on gender-stereotyped toys, games, role-play, and professions. Additionally, it has been found that the kindergarten culture strongly shapes and “normalises” children’s perception of “right” gender practices, by reflecting and mirroring teachers’ gender-typed expectations and a value system based on an objectivist personal epistemology that implicitly promotes “feminine” values of subordination, peace, silence and obedience. The findings suggest the need for research focusing particularly on the relationship between teachers’ epistemological theories and the dominant gender discourses in kindergarten. It is also recommended that Montenegro’s early childhood education policy and strategy documents consider and elaborate more thoroughly the concept of gender identity and gender-flexible pedagogies.
本文介绍了对幼儿园儿童主导性别话语的定性研究结果,以及通过教师性别话语和个人认识论传播的幼儿园文化的社会教育方面对儿童性别话语和身份建构的影响。指导我们研究的主要问题是:在一个群体中讲述什么样的性别故事,这些故事在什么影响下成为规范?我们对性别的理解是基于女性主义后结构主义的视角。我们对黑山两所幼儿园的54名儿童和4名教师进行了为期两周的研究,结果显示,“霸权男性气质”和“强调女性气质”的二元对立话语占主导地位,强调性别刻板印象的玩具、游戏、角色扮演和职业。此外,研究发现,幼儿园文化通过反映和镜像教师的性别类型期望和基于客观主义个人认识论的价值体系,强烈地塑造和“规范”了儿童对“正确”性别实践的感知,这种认识论隐含地促进了服从、和平、沉默和服从的“女性”价值观。研究结果表明,需要特别关注教师认识论理论与幼儿园中占主导地位的性别话语之间的关系。还建议黑山的幼儿教育政策和战略文件更彻底地考虑和阐述性别认同和性别灵活教学法的概念。

Since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been changes in the ways teaching and learning occur in most classrooms, including English first additional language classrooms. Teachers spent less contact class time with their English FAL learners to comply with the COVID-19 safety protocols, such as social distancing. More than ever, learners in rural schools faced the responsibility of learning independently for extended periods. The focus in this article is on how the learners’ efforts to learn independently were disrupted and how teachers assisted these learners in overcoming these challenges amid the pandemic. The article explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rural English FAL learners’ self-directed learning. The findings confirm the existence of COVID-19-induced challenges that impeded rural English FAL learners’ self-directed learning. These included a lack of motivation and a negative attitude towards self-directed learning, closure of learning facilities and a lack of learning material, overdependence on the teacher, poor physical learning environments and limited parental support. The study also reports on strategies that English FAL teachers used to enhance learners’ self-directed learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. These included strengthening home-school partnerships, providing emotional support, and simplifying learning activities. The article concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted self-directed learning in South Africa.
自2019冠状病毒病大流行以来,大多数教室的教学方式都发生了变化,包括英语优先的附加语言教室。为了遵守COVID-19安全协议,例如保持社交距离,教师减少了与英语FAL学习者的接触时间。农村学校的学生比以往任何时候都更加面临着长时间独立学习的责任。本文的重点是学习者独立学习的努力如何受到干扰,以及教师如何帮助这些学习者在大流行期间克服这些挑战。本文探讨了新冠肺炎疫情对农村英语FAL学习者自主学习的影响。研究结果证实,新冠肺炎引发的挑战阻碍了农村英语FAL学习者的自主学习。其中包括缺乏动力和对自主学习的消极态度,学习设施关闭和缺乏学习材料,过度依赖教师,恶劣的物理学习环境和有限的父母支持。该研究还报告了英语FAL教师在COVID-19大流行期间用于增强学习者自主学习的策略。这些措施包括加强家校合作、提供情感支持和简化学习活动。文章的结论是,2019冠状病毒病大流行对南非的自主学习产生了负面影响。

An Interdependent Literacy Model to Assist with Critical Reading Comprehension in the English First Additional Language Classroom 辅助英语第一附加语言课堂批判性阅读理解的相互依存读写模式

Various attempts have been made to assist the multitude of South African learners who experience literacy challenges, particularly critical reading challenges, in the classroom. Although a number of critical literacy models that focus on reading literacy have been developed to alleviate the reading comprehension crisis in South Africa, poor reading comprehension continues to prevail among South African learners, as shown in the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study reports. This article argues for a focus on critical reading comprehension in the classroom. Based on a review of the Four Resources Model of Critical Literacy and the Interdependent Model of Critical Literacy, the researchers propose a new model to the literacy debate, the Critical Reading Interdependent Literacy Model (CRILM), which is designed to be used at school level and is suitable to be used from Grade 4 and beyond. CRILM is based on an instruction and learning framework that promotes a participatory-interactive-interdependent relationship between educators, learners, the text, and the author. Through the text and author, learners will be able to initiate critical insight and societal knowledge development from within the English First Additional Language classroom. Centred on the educator, the learners, the text, and the author, as well as their relation to reality, this proposed new model hypothesises the interaction and interdependence of all the participants during the reading process for the successful development of classroom critical reading comprehension.
为了帮助在课堂上遇到读写困难,特别是批判性阅读困难的众多南非学习者,已经进行了各种尝试。尽管已经开发了一些以阅读能力为重点的批判性读写模式来缓解南非的阅读理解危机,但正如国际阅读能力研究进展报告所显示的那样,南非学习者的阅读理解能力仍然很差。本文主张在课堂上注重批判性阅读理解。在回顾批判性读写能力的四种资源模型和批判性读写能力的相互依赖模型的基础上,研究人员提出了一种新的读写能力辩论模型,即批判性阅读相互依赖读写能力模型(Critical Reading interdependence Literacy Model,简称CRILM),该模型设计用于学校层面,适用于四年级及以上的学生。CRILM基于一个教学框架,促进教育者、学习者、文本和作者之间的参与-互动-相互依赖的关系。通过文本和作者,学习者将能够在英语第一附加语言课堂中开始批判性的洞察力和社会知识的发展。这一新模式以教育者、学习者、文本和作者及其与现实的关系为中心,假设所有参与者在阅读过程中相互作用和相互依存,以促进课堂批判性阅读理解的成功发展。

Drawing on Bourdieu’s concepts of field and habitus, this qualitative study adopted a multiple-case design to investigate how university researchers exercised their agency as they engaged in actions of open access publishing, and how such actions influenced the researchers themselves and the university as an institution. Guided by a four-dimensional approach to agency as the conceptual framework, the study unveiled the complex processes by which university researchers played agentic roles in open access publishing and reshaped their own publishing habitus. They utilised various kinds of personal and social resources to mediate their agentic actions for the purpose of producing intended outcomes as institutionally recognised achievement. As their agentic actions influenced the university as institutional structure in terms of policy reformulation, they also reshaped university researchers’ habitus in an incremental manner as their habitus was augmented to include a new form of recognised action. The study also revealed the duality of discourse, which, conforming to institutionality, both enabled and constrained researchers’ agentic actions.
根据布迪厄的领域和习惯概念,这项定性研究采用了多案例设计,调查大学研究人员在参与开放获取出版活动时如何行使其代理权,以及这些活动如何影响研究人员本身和大学作为一个机构。在以代理为概念框架的四维方法的指导下,该研究揭示了大学研究人员在开放获取出版中扮演代理角色并重塑自己出版习惯的复杂过程。他们利用各种个人和社会资源来调解他们的代理人行为,目的是产生制度认可的预期结果。由于他们的代理人行为影响了大学作为政策重新制定的制度结构,他们也以渐进的方式重塑了大学研究人员的习惯,因为他们的习惯被扩大到包括一种新形式的公认行动。研究还揭示了话语的双重性,这种双重性符合制度性,既支持又约束了研究者的代理行为。

The study also revealed the duality of discourse, which, conforming to institutionality, both enabled and constrained researchers’ agentic actions.","PeriodicalId":44983,"journal":{"name":"Education As Change","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45393607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The years 2021 and 2022 marked a significant period in the Pan-African struggle against the Pan-Eurocentric academy’s destruction of African dignity and freedom. 2021 marked the 70th anniversary of the Eiselen Commission’s report on Bantu Education. 2022 marked the 30th anniversary of the publication of Phyllis Ntantala’s autobiographical work, A Life’s Mosaic: The Autobiography of Phyllis Ntantala. Ntantala’s book documents African teachers’ and parents’ resistance to Bantu Education, which culminated in some African teachers being fired for refusing to “poison the minds” of African children. While the “heroism” of resistance to Bantu Education is well-recorded and celebrated, the “sheroism” of the struggle against Bantu Education is less illuminated and appreciated. This article, by examining Ntantala’s intellectual legacy in African people’s struggles for justice—including justice in education in South Africa, as well as in Europe and the United States of America—celebrates African sheroes’ institutional leadership in the struggles associated with education in politics and politics in education. A critical examination of Ntantala’s leadership against Bantu Education gives recognition to an important, yet often overlooked, aspect in decolonisation and re-Africanisation struggles in education, namely, that colonialism did not only express itself through racism, but also sexism.
2021年和2022年是泛非反对以泛欧为中心的学院破坏非洲尊严和自由的重要时期。2021年是艾泽伦委员会发布班图教育报告70周年,2022年是菲利斯·恩坦塔拉自传体作品《生命的马赛克:菲利斯·恩坦塔拉自传》出版30周年。恩塔塔的书记录了非洲教师和家长对班图教育的抵制,最终导致一些非洲教师因拒绝“毒害”非洲儿童的思想而被解雇。虽然反抗班图教育的“英雄主义”得到了充分的记录和颂扬,但反对班图教育的“英雄主义”却很少得到阐释和赞赏。本文通过考察恩坦塔拉在非洲人民争取正义斗争中的思想遗产——包括南非以及欧洲和美国的教育正义斗争——颂扬非洲英雄在与政治教育和教育政治相关的斗争中的体制领导作用。对恩坦塔拉领导反对班图教育的批判性审查,使人们认识到非殖民化和教育中再非洲化斗争的一个重要但经常被忽视的方面,即殖民主义不仅通过种族主义表现出来,而且通过性别歧视表现出来。
