助推农村幼儿科学入学的三要素

幼儿转变成小学生,是儿童成长历程中一次重要的身份转变;从幼儿园到小学,是童年生活的一种自然延伸和过渡。可"幼小衔接"历年都是社会关注问题,其热度有增无减、居高不下,家长们在焦虑,老师们在困惑,孩子们在茫然,且这种现象在农村幼儿园更为明显和剧烈。科学做好入学准备,使幼小衔接平滑过渡,要求幼儿园、小学、家庭三位一体,协同配合。幼儿园、小学和家长要了解并遵循幼儿身心发展规律和学习特点,共同营造有利于幼儿适应小学生活的氛围,循序渐进,因势利导,让幼儿成为小学生活的向往者,成为小学学习主动的准备者,让入小学不再成为困扰幼儿的因素,而是成为促进幼儿成长的动力。经过探索实践,我们总结出助推农村幼儿科学入学的三要素与大家共享。

Introducing Sustainability Concepts Into University Curricula Through Systems Thinking

The aim of this paper is to explore the major issues involved in introducing sustainability concepts into university curricula in an interdisciplinary manner, through Systems Thinking. It is generally accepted that a holistic approach is essential in sustainability studies, but teaching such a new and complex topic to a diverse student population is by no means easy. In this study, sustainability is viewed in the context of Systems Thinking, particularly in Complexity Management domain. A general framework is proposed with the intension of guiding potential instructors who are planning to teach sustainability through Systems Thinking. The framework includes only the suggested systems-oriented material and a review of some system methodologies; it does not cover sustainability issues. Methodologies known as System Dynamics and Soft Cybernetics are explored and emphasized particularly in the paper due to their importance. The framework is kept general enough so that it appeals to students and instructors with a variety of background.

绕过GMAT

你打算为一个正方形房间买一块圆形地毯，并想计算出铺上毯子后还有多大面积的地板露在外面：你知道怎么计算吗？这道题和你可能会在研究生管理科学入学考试（Graduate、Management Admissions Test．即GMAT）中遇到的问题很相似。多年来，GMAT一直是美国MBA教育的入学门褴。
