The chapter discusses the relation of Chinese masculine identity to representations of Confucius, the wen deity. The origins of the role of Confucius in constructions of gender identity are examined, followed by a demonstration of the linkage between historical shifts in paradigms of masculinity & refigurations of Confucius. If previous historical figurations of Confucius have signified icons synthesizing the political & moral, & physical & cerebral ideals, the Confucius of the 1980s & 1990s strikingly breaks with this tradition to embody the values of late-capitalist, technology-savvy entrepreneurship. 50 References.

This contribution is part of a publication on the TEMPUS symposium to the European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) held in Edinburgh in September 2000. It was intended as a reflective, post- project evaluation of the development programme to prepare teachers to meet special educational needs (SEN) in Perm (a city of one million inhabitants 2000 km north-east from Moscow), and its continuation, extension, dissemination and effects on new related international work, including a follow-on TEMPUS-TACIS project.... The article is part of the second part of the publication, which relates the TEMPUS project to wider conditions for change in schools. It is too often assumed that such development projects involve partners in stable situations, offering possible models for a target beneficiary in transitional need and search of new anchorage.... East Germany, [ however], brings to the project its own dramatic experience of collapse and reconstruction. This chapter ... itself a collaboration between academics drawn from two formerly confronting German societies, explores key elements of teacher experience before and after the German "Wende", and illustrates the importance of teacher commitment to new approaches." What interested the authors was, "to discover how those teachers already in service in the GDR times dealt with the "Wende" and, in that context, with the transition to a new school system with changed ideological foundations; what were the effects of the "Wende" on their concepts, or more specifically, on their models of interpretation and action; and what, in the new circumstances, has been their readiness to participate in school development?" The authors took two methodological approaches: they "used the teachers' observations when confronted with their own video- recorded lessons, together with descriptive career biography interviews".

Analiza las estrategias de enseñanza que implementa el o la docente de aulas multigrado y escuelas unidocentes. La autora encontró que estas escuelas son mucho más complejas de lo que se refleja en la literatura existente y que, si bien comparten gran parte de la problemática general de la escuela primaria peruana, presentan algunas singularidades. Además de su caracterización a partir del número de grados a cargo de un o una docente, se suman otras variables que la configuran, sobre todo en el caso de la escuela unidocente: la ausencia de niños en algunos grados; la composición desigual de los grados al haber concentración de matrícula en algunos y muy poca o ninguna en otros; el agrupamiento de los grados en función de la "carga docente", donde al parecer no intervienen criterios pedagógicos; la presencia de niños con rezago que son rechazados en otras escuelas. Es decir, la definición de la escuela multigrado se amplía y se hace más compleja.

Reports personal & professional experiences drawn from the High/Scope Perry Preschool Project, a longitudinal classroom-based program supplemented by weekly home visits begun in 1962 in Ypsilanti, MI, to enhance the intellectual & academic abilities of disadvantaged, African American children, ages 3-4. Early stages in program planning & development are recounted, citing problems with funding & staffing. Preliminary results from the project were positive: there were significant gains in achievement test scores & teacher ratings from grades 1-3, & IQ scores initially climbed (though then returned to the level of the control group). Related studies that built on these findings are described, along with follow-up data from the High Scope/Perry participants at age 27, which demonstrate the long-term benefits of interventions such as the preschool project for disadvantaged children. 11 References.
