《数字痴呆化，数字化社会如何扼杀我们孩子的脑力》

This is the first strategy book on developing organization-wide, online learning. Learn what companies like AT&T, Cisco Systems, Dell Computer, IBM, Lucent Technologies, Merrill Lynch, Prudential, and U S West and others have accomplished with e-learning. It isn't just the promise of impressive technology that is driving people to e-learning. Businesses need to get rapidly changing information to large numbers of people faster than ever. They need to lower the overall costs of creating a workforce that performs faster and better than the competition, and they need to do this around the clock. It's no longer a question of whether organizations will one day implement online learning, but whether they will do it well.Most organizations that need to train their employees are experimenting with some form of Web-delivered learning. But most organizations have focused on the technological challenges, buying the right software, getting enough bandwidth allocated for Web-based training, designing courseware, etc. These are important first steps but the larger strategic issues remain unsolved: how to make e-learning part of the daily work culture, and fully implement its power. "E-Learning" is the first book in this exciting new field that addresses not just the technological challenges of Web-based training and knowledge management, but how to develop a comprehensive organization-wide learning strategy. Author Marc Rosenberg discusses the technological issues but more importantly, assesses the dramatic strategic, organizational, and political issues involved in the process of making e-learning a reality.Written for professionals responsible for leading the revolution in workplace learning, "E-Learning" takes a broad, strategic perspective on corporate learning. This wake-up call for executives everywhere discusses: requirements for building a viable e-learning strategy; how e-learning will change the nature of training organizations; knowledge management; and, other new forms of e-learning. "E-Learning" explains the basic principles of a comprehensive Web-based learning strategy - how to link your organization's Web sites, Web-based training, courseware, and all the other components of online learning.With an underlying focus on the "why" - and not just the "how" - Rosenberg provides a roadmap for growing and sustaining an e-learning culture that's based on twenty years of observations, best (and worst) practices, and conversations with leaders in the learning technology fields. Divided into three parts, "E-Learning" offers an essential balance between building great e-learning (design and technology issues) and implementing it (acceptance and support issues). Within each chapter, examples illustrate many key components of an effective e-learning framework. Unlike other technology-focused guides to Web-based training, "E-Learning" is the first book that tackles the overarching strategic issues - problems facing any organization experimenting with the tremendous promise of Web-based learning and knowledge management."The biggest growth in the Internet, and the area that will prove to be one of the biggest agents of change, will be in e-learning." - John Chambers, CEO, Cisco Systems. 'Marc Rosenberg is one of the key thinkers in the ever-changing world of learning and technology. This book offers a pragmatic and powerful set of resources for any organization walking the sometimes slippery e-learning pathway' - Elliott Masie, President, The MASIE Center. 'If there is any reason to fear e-learning, it's that we will fail to understand why we are doing it. This book combines the right amount of reflection on why with a heavy dose of sound advice about how to. It has a lot in common with it's subject. It's just what we need, just in time' - John W. Cone, Vice President, Dell Learning, Dell Computer Corporation.'Marc Rosenberg has nailed it. He surfaces the issues, realistically describes alternatives and operationalizes what a true e-learning strategy is. Good cases. Good ideas. Good writing. You need this book!' - Gloria Gery, Consultant in Performance Support and Learning. 'Dr. Rosenberg's vision, coupled with the useful advice peppered throughout his book, will guide corporate leaders of learning as we strive to harness the power of e-learning for the benefit of our people and our businesses. I intend to share the book widely with my business colleagues and professional associates' - Pat Kelly, Vice President, People Development, AT&T Wireless Services.

"If you design online learning, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction is a 'must read.' Unlike all the pontificating and conjecture that's been published about elearning, this important work details the evidence-based findings that provide practical guidelines for effective online instructional design. For me, this book is the 'bible' of our profession."—Peter Orton, Ph.D., IBM Center for Advanced Learning "The partnership between Ruth Clark and Richard Mayer in writing successive editions of e-Learning and the Science of Instruction has provided us with one of the most important collaborations in our discipline. Their ability to communicate complex concepts in clear, indeed sparkling prose is unrivalled. In e-Learning and the Science of Instruction, we have a book for everyone including students, professional instructional designers and researchers."—John Sweller, professor, School of Education, University of New South Wales "For the experienced instructional designer, having this supportive research provides the rationale needed to obtain consensus from a training development team." —David L. Bennett, senior training program developer, Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding "Graduate students, undergraduate students, or employees responsible for designing and developing educational software will benefit from e-Learning and the Science of Instruction. It opens your eyes to interesting ideas that you have never thought of when designing an e-course."—Thair Hamtini, chairman of the computer information systems department, The University of Jordan

《教育思想的演进》根据涂尔干1904-1905年在巴黎大学开设的“法国中等教育史”课程整理而成，是史学界公认的社会史的开山之作。它考察了长达十几个世纪的教育制度和观念史，几乎涵盖了法国启蒙教育从早期教会的“肇发时期”到19世纪的“危机时期”的演进过程。本书不仅把教育观念的演进与思想体系史融通起来，也与教育体制内的制度安排和实践形式环环相扣，以教育为视角和切入点，勾画了一幅现代性在制度化和文明化的意义上从生成到危机的全景。
本书考察了法国长达十几个世纪的教育制度和观念史，几乎涵盖了法国启蒙教育从早期教会的“肇发时期”到19世纪的“危机时期”的演进过程，并集中刻画和分析了几组历史个案。以教育为视角和切入点，勾画了一幅现代性在制度化和文明化的意义上从生成到危机的全景。被史学界公认为社会史的开山之作，对后来法国“年鉴史学”的发展产生了创造性和革命性的影响。本书为涂尔干的重要著作之一，不仅在社会学，而且在史学、教育学、观念史、文化史的研究领域中都占有重要地位。为第一个中文译本，并且译文出色，必将为广大学者所重视。

本书内容属于教育社会学的范畴，根据涂尔干的讲义或授课内容，以及他有关教育问题的专题讨论和备课笔记等整理而成，其对教育问题的具体教学和研究内容丰富、涵盖面广，涉及教育方法和基础教育理论的问题、教育史和教育学史的研究，以及与教学实践和理论探索连至深的社会学实质问题。读者通过本书可以了解到当时的教育家们所争论的焦点问题和涂尔干处理此类问题的基本思路和态度。

本书中所讨论的是以下三个问题，什么是现代教育;教育的本质与现代;现代的学校教育，特别是大学教育应如何进行。

为什么人会有不同的行为？
为什么即使是基因完全相同的同卵双胞胎，也会有不同的个性？
究竟是什么造成了我们的人格差异？
发展领域大师哈里斯从演化心理学出发，
为我们提出自佛洛伊德以来，第一个有关人类“个性”的完整理论！
．《教养的迷思》畅销书作者最新著作！
．知名心理学者洪兰教授翻译！
．获Amazon网站5颗星评价！
心理学上的难解之谜：是什么导致人有不同的个性和行为？
这不只是先天（遗传）和后天（环境）的问题，
因为即使是基因极为相似且成长背景相当一致的同卵双胞胎，个性都不一样。
如果心理学连双胞胎的相异性都无法解释，更遑论其他人与人之间的差异
－－为什么没有完全相同的两个人？
作者深入检视了从社会心理学的传统实验到神经科学的最新领域，
包括双胞胎研究、观察自闭儿、猩猩甚至蚂蚁。
最后她终于得到了自佛洛伊德以来，第一个有关“个性”的完整理论：
以演化心理学为基础，哈里斯以地位系统、社会化系统和关系系统这三种心理机制，
精辟入里地为我们解开了人格差异之谜。

父母的教養能不能決定孩子的人格發展? 這問題一般人都會不加思索的說, 會呀, 真的是如此嗎? 而很多精神分析或教育理念也都說一個人出了問題, 一定是父母的教養出了問題. 是真的嗎? 這些說法有沒有足夠的科學證據? 還是只是假說臆測, 或是個案觀察後研究者自己的推論?
這是本非常有趣的書, 作者以科學的研究態度, 將一個大家都認為理所當然的事拆開來看它的基本假設成不成立, 究竟有沒有足夠的證據支持, 不因為別人都相信便不去檢驗這個假設成不成立.
這是本非常精采的書, 博徵旁引, 作者舉的例子都是你以前知道且生活中隨處可見的現象, 但是從來沒有想到可以從另一個角度去解釋. 也讓我們看到, 同一個現象, 理論不同時會有這麼不同的解釋. 如譯者( 洪蘭教授, 陽明大學認知科學研究室教授) 也同意社會科學的人在解釋人的行為時, 很少去考慮基因的角色. 因該先把基因遺傳的因素分離出來再去看環境教養的影響才有意義. 而且過去大多數教養假設的研究沒有分辨直接和間接的遺傳效應, ( 直接遺傳效應指身高, 體重, 外貌, 先天氣質…; 而間接的遺傳效應: 如外貌美麗的孩子較容易得到父母的寵愛, 朋友的羨慕…; 而膽怯的孩子較容易引起母親的保護, 手足的調侃, 同儕的捉弄…. 等不同的效應). 直接與間接兩種基因遺傳因素會同時並加重影響一個人的性格發展. 從書中也可以看到一些社會研究架構的問題, 當研究的結果分析出現正向相關時, 研究者很容易以既有的理念架構過度推論其因果關係. 而且當研究結果與一般社會大眾期待相同者較容易受到重視, 也容易出版; 但更多指出父母教養態度與小孩的人格形成無明顯相關時, 這種與既定觀念不同的研究結果就容易被忽略(即使其研究樣本更大, 研究方法更精確).
在我們生活週遭很常見的: 在同一個家庭長大的兄弟姊妹, 並沒有比在不同家庭長大的人更相似. 而在移民的家庭中可以看到父母往往仍是說著原來自己本國的語言, 而他們小孩如果在12歲以前就跟著移民, 可以發現他們的語言, 思考方式已同化成移民國家的小孩一樣, 和他們的父母不同了. 有一個很有趣的例子:有一位心理學家讓他的小孩和同齡的黑猩猩的小孩一起撫養長大, 雖然同時以人類的方式教養他們, 結果發現是她的小孩越來越像黑猩猩的行為, 而提早將黑猩猩送回動物園( 因為與人類同齡的黑猩猩在智力發展速度上較人類的小孩快, 所以有帶領作用). 作者指出兒童的社會化並不是模仿大人, 因為大人可以做的事小孩子一般都不可以做; 小孩子的目標不是成為一個成功的大人, 而是成為一個成功的小孩. 在孩子的社會化分類中基本上大人與孩子是屬於不同分類的, 孩子會依照社會團體中他們認為像他們的人( 同儕 )來修正他們的行為. 作者認為小學期間是孩子開始社會化, 人格發生永久改變的關鍵期, 他們在同儕團體中的地位, 是否被嘲笑, 團體的文化對他們有深遠的影響.
一百年前並沒有教養的假設, 以前的父母並沒有像現在的父母在教養假設下小心翼翼地呵護教養小孩, 而多半是由大孩子帶著小孩子自然成長, 能說以前的人人格就較不健全嗎? 而給小孩子安排一個高社會經濟地位的同儕環境, 也不能確保她的同儕團體影響確保就是好的, 她的外貌, 天生性格等種種其他無法預測的因素都會影響他在同儕環境中的社會化過程. 就像作者說雖然她已經很努力了, 卻也不知道為什麼她的兩個小孩這麼不同; 所以生命自有其歷程, 輕輕鬆鬆愉快地養育小孩就好了.
在波士頓閱讀這本書更加有感觸, 可以看到唐人街中年以上的中國移民說話腔調, 及生活方式仍是一貫的中國人文化. 但出了唐人街, 卻可以看到一口流利英文, 舉止行為和美國青少年無異的第二代移民. 父母教養決定孩子的性格是否真是一種迷思?

一片树林里分出了两条路，而我选择了人迹更少的一条，从此决定了我人生的道路。
