反思性教学——ESP教师自我发展的有效途径

为适应社会发展的需求,我国高校应大力发展专门用途英语(ESP)教学,而其中首要的问题是ESP教师质量问题。开展反思教学研究是ESP教师的自我发展的有效途径。实施反思性教学的教师需借助课堂观摩、课程报告、教学日记、行动研究、问卷调查等方法探讨与解决自身教学问题,不断提高教学实践的合理性。     

Business Ethics versus Economic Incentives:<Emphasis Type="Italic">Contemporary Issues and Dilemmas</Emphasis>

Contemporary economic thought presumes that individuals in a society always act according to their self-interest or private economic incentives, while important ethical motivations for action, such as a concern for others and public interest, are largely ignored. This paper is based on my experience of teaching an undergraduate course that highlighted the divergence between economic incentives and ethical motives for action in present-day life and business. Teaching tools such as lectures, case and group discussions were employed to address important ethical dilemmas of individuals and managers in contemporary societies. Readings underscored the evolving relationship of business ethics and economic incentives, and the relevance of ancient ethical principles (e.g., Ethics of Interdependence, and Ethics of Prudence and Self-Development) to present-day business ethics. The course emphasized the imminent need in contemporary societies to reduce the divergence between economic incentives and ethical motives for action, and called for a greater understanding of business ethics today, given the complex ethical concerns that managers confront in the current global environment.

Pursuing your leader development: Lessons from 101 executives

To lead effectively in a VUCA (i.e., volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environment, leaders must quickly and continuously acquire new skills. However, formal development opportunities aren’t nearly enough to support the ongoing skill development leaders need to manage the level of complexity and change they are facing. Instead, leaders must take ownership of their own development. In this paper, we describe a straightforward, four-step process that leaders can implement to pursue their individualized development through leader development planning. Specifically, we walk leaders through the evidence-based steps of creating their unique leader development plan (LDP), including (1) identifying their leadership strengths and weaknesses, (2) setting effective leader development goals, (3) designing SMART strategies, and (4) reflecting, refining, and realigning their plan. Throughout the article, we detail positive examples as well as common pitfalls that we observed from our work supporting 101 mid- to senior-level leaders in designing their LDPs. Our purpose in doing so is to provide tools and examples to enable leaders at all levels to drive their development at their own pace.     

教育培养模式的创新——自主发展

教育是幸福的人生的准备,不是对幸福人生的践踏。文章寻求人的自主发展和幸福人生之间的必然关系,从而证明只有以造就自主发展的人为目标的教育才是达成幸福人生的教育。自主发展所倚的是人的生命存在,而所谓的自主发展就是人的自主成长,自主发展的目标就是造就有能力幸福的人。     

大学生跨文化交际能力的自我培养模式研究

针对我国外语教学缺乏真实的跨文化交际环境的实际,教师积极引导大学生进行跨文化交际能力自我培养符合我国国情和普通高校校情。英语教学实践表明：大学生对英语文化知识点的多维扩展式自主学习,可促进和加深他们对目的语语言文化的理解,有助于培养学生的跨文化交际能力,促使他们根据实际主动寻求跨文化交际机会,逐步提高跨文化交际能力。     

西部地区自我发展能力研究综述

随着西部大开发的推进,西部地区的自我发展能力问题得到了越来越多的关注。文章以我国西部地区为研究对象,从现有的涉及到西部地区自我发展能力方面的文献提取有效的信息,对区域自我发展能力的基本认识、区域自我发展能力的测度与实证研究,以及西部地区自我发展能力现状与培育等三个方面进行了仔细的梳理,总结了现有文献在这一方面的研究成果。通过对主要观点进行分析,文章发现,我国学者对于区域自我发展能力的认识并不一致,这也造成了对西部地区自我发展能力指标测度的多元化与相关的实证研究不足的局面。此外,针对西部地区自我发展能力较低的现状,如何提升其自我发展能力方面的研究依然不足。最后文章指出了未来西部地区自我发展能力研究需要突破的关键问题与应当关注的主要方面。
