教育研究之“问题”研究——兼论质疑教育

何谓问题?何谓教育问题?对教育“问题”的追本溯源,是教育研究的逻辑起点,而“真问题”亦为引发研究问题的矛盾所在,并非矛盾的表现形式。基于表形外壳的问题研究,实为问题研究的迷失,导致教育研究的畸形发展。例如,目前人文社科类研究生研究的“问题”多止步于表形外壳层面,少数研究深入到构因内核,还有部分研究游离于矛盾之外。因此,需要开展质疑教育,研究教育问题与教育理论、教育实践的关系,探寻能够反映矛盾构因内核的“真问题”,并构建基于“真问题”的质疑教育框架,为教育研究提质增效提供新的路向。

Since the paper is based on a conceptual analysis of theories of non-formal and/or adult education, the praxis of the argument is informed by philosophers who have written extensively on the subject. Solid and educational policies are also compared in order to formulate conclusions and strategies based on the analysis of educational trends that encourage democratic ideals.

Second Language Repertoires Reflecting on Teaching IsiXhosa to Medical Students

The Language Policy for Higher Education （2002） and University of Cape Town＇s Language Plan （2001） suggest that language is central to our social and academic engagement at every level： to our communication with those around us, to our learning, and to our identities.

New Approach to the Flexible Planning of Learning Process in High Education System

Expediency of this work is conditioned by the inconsistency between the market requirement of the specialists and the planning process of high educational system. For solving this problem it is important to make consulting or expect system for flexible planning of teaching modules of every specialty. We make an attempt to consider this problem in two aspects： the prediction of market demand for planning taking into consideration of studies duration and scheduling of educational process. The prediction task consists in data acquisition of market requirement for each profession in discrete time interval to predict dynamic evolution of every specialty. The solution of the prediction task will be using to determination of prognostic quantity of students for each specialty. As regards the second aspect, it consists in finding a schedule of the teaching modules, i.e. the distribution of subjects in the semesters, keeping the total limits of credits, to update and adapt syllabus. In this paper, we present a genetic algorithm as a solution method for the modular scheduling problem. Genetic algorithms （GAs） allow a more general approach to the scheduling problem, which is rated using a fitness function. GA can be successfully applied to find optimized sequential schedules.

Sexual Ethics; A Need Indeed, Buddhist Ethics as a Model

According to Psychological theories of motivation, sexuality is a biological need which urges to satisfy sexual desire. Though it is not essential for the survival of an individual, it plays a major role in the growth, development, adjustment and well-being. Therefore, sexuality is a common aspect in the existence and it should not be neglected. However, in many religious ethical issues, sexuality had been treated negatively and identified as a barrier for an advanced spiritual life. Even in tribal societies there were some sexual taboos that controlled man＇s sexual behavior to some extent. Among religious ethical codes, one may find that it had been placed an important position for controlling or completely eliminating sexual behaviors. In modem world, what is evident is that this so called sexual need has been used for many commercial and marketing purposes. Even in advertising field, sexual desire of man is used as a mean of attracting public. Phonograph has become a very profitable illegal professional today. Sexual medicines, drugs and tools are available everywhere in the society. Though sexual education had been included into the curriculum in schools and higher education institutions, the awareness of sexuality among people seems to be in a low level. While biologically man is compelled to fulfill sexual desire internally, it is motivated externally by many social factors. So that not only misconceptions of sexuality, but also misbehaviors of sexuality can be observed in the society today. By examining these current situations of man＇s sexual behaviors, there is a big need to formulate a sexual ethical code--a code of law with the help of religious teachings. Otherwise these various sexual behaviors may create more and more social and world problems. In this paper, my aim is to examine Buddhist ethics in order to formulate a sexual ethical code.
