Abstract

For many learners assessment conjures up visions of red pens scrawling percentages in the top right-hand corner of exams and feelings of stress, inadequacy, and failure. Although negative student reactions to evaluation have been noted, assessment has provided educational institutions with important information about learning outcomes and the quality of education for many decades. But how accurate is this data and has it informed practice or been fully incorporated into the learning cycle? Conrad and Open argue that the potential in many of the new learning environments to alter and improve assessment has yet to be explored by educators and students.In their investigation of assessment methods and learning approaches, Conrad and Openo aim to explore assessment that engages learners and authentically evaluates education. They insist that moving to new learning environments, specifically those online and at a distance, afford educators opportunities to embrace only the most effective face-to-face assessment methods and to realize the potential of delivering education in the digital age. In this volume practitioners will find not only an indispensable introduction to new forms of assessment but also a number of best practices as described by experienced educators.

Abstract

"We want neither gods nor emperors", went the words from the Chinese version of The Internationale. Students sang the old socialist song as they gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square in the Spring of 1989. Craig Calhoun, a sociologist who witnessed the monumental event, offers a vivid, carefully crafted analysis of the student movement, its complex leadership, its eventual suppression, and its continuing legacy.

Abstract

Images of Chinese teens with their heads buried in books for hours on end, preparing for high-stakes exams, dominate understandings of Chinese youth in both China and the West. But what about young people who are not on the path to academic success? What happens to youth who fail the state's high-stakes exams? What many—even in China—don't realize is that up to half of the nation's youth are flunked out of the academic education system after 9th grade. Class Work explores the consequences for youth who have failed these exams, through an examination of two urban vocational schools in Nanjing, China. Through a close look at the students' backgrounds, experiences, the schools they attend, and their trajectories into the workforce, T.E. Woronov explores the value systems in contemporary China that stigmatize youth in urban vocational schools as "failures," and the political and economic structures that funnel them into working-class futures. She argues that these marginalized students and schools provide a privileged window into the ongoing, complex intersections between the socialist and capitalist modes of production in China today and the rapid transformation of China's cities into post-industrial, service-based economies. This book advances the notion that urban vocational schools are not merely "holding tanks" for academic failures; instead they are incipient sites for the formation of a new working class.

Abstract

Juin 1989, place Tiananmen à Pékin : un étudiant se dresse devant une colonne de chars. Symbole de la résistance, cette image a fait le tour du monde et cristallisé les idéaux d'une génération. Nés avant ou pendant la Révolution culturelle, ces jeunes souhaitaient incarner le sens du juste et de la responsabilité collective. Quinze années plus tard, la génération d'étudiants qui leur succède semble promouvoir de toutes autres valeurs individualisme, rapport recomposé et hybride à la politique, fièvre nationaliste. A l'image de l'étudiant dressé devant un char succède celle de l'étudiant bachotant jour et nuit en quête de réussite individuelle et d'insertion dans le grand marché mondial de l'emploi. Pris dans le torrent de la libéralisation de l'économie chinoise, la compétition à laquelle ils sont soumis et se soumettent est à l'image des profondes mutations de la Chine contemporaine. Aurore Merle, chercheuse en sociologie, et Michaël Sztanke, journaliste, font pour nous la radiographie des futures élites chinoises qui, quoique minoritaires par leur statut, entendent néanmoins prendre toute leur place dans l'économie du XXIe siècle : celle de la connaissance. Les témoignages recueillis durant quatre années auprès d'étudiants montrent les interrogations et les contradictions d'une génération de jeunes destinés un jour à occuper les postes clés de l'économie et de la politique. Une perspective forte pour comprendre ce que pourra être l'évolution politique de la Chine.
