ZHANG Suogeng, YANG Hairui, SUN Jun

2021, (1): 60-70.

Abstract(584) PDF(30)

Abstract:
Since the reform and opening-up, the alumni work as an important part of higher education has developed rapidly. The development process has gone through three stages:recovery and start-up, construction and improvement, and service and innovation. The core of alumni work has evolved from the fellowship with the resources of universities as the goal, through the value construction with the social reputation of universities as the goal, and evolved into service and value innovation aiming at social contribution. This development process is consistent with the social changes and higher education development logic, promoted by reform and opening-up. In the new era, the improvement of alumni work should not simply be limited to the hunting of resources and social credibility of university's own development, but should be based on the major needs of morality education, science and technology strategies, and local economic and social development.

XUN Yuan

2021, (1): 71-75.

Abstract(284) PDF(9)

As a kind of academic profession, university faculty has undergone a change from sacred profession to secularized academic profession, which also means that the profession itself is increasingly differentiated and specialized which to a certain extent eliminate the universality of common human knowledge, ideological and cultural resources and the academic research's attention to common human welfare.

Towards “the Other”: A Review and Reflection on teacher-student Conflict——An Example from the W Primary School in H City

Gu Yujun, Xie Ying

2021, (1): 76-82.

Abstract(352) PDF(19)

Abstract:
The phenomenology of "the other" brings a perspective to review and reflection on teacher-student conflict. The nature of groupness, realm and difference in teacher-student conflict makes it necessary to start from a specific situation. The causes of teacher-student conflict have three aspects:first, the visage resistance of students leads to a non-equilibrium state of social interaction between teachers and students; second, the body submission of students leads to a non-cooperative game between teachers and students; third, the evasion of teachers' responsibility leads to their lack of educational responsibility to students. As a result, it is necessary to reflect on and solve the problems of teacher-student conflict from three aspects:firstly, students' visage need to be highlighted so that attention is paid to their faces; secondly, students' bodies need to be embodied so that their bodies are liberated and teachers'authority is devolved; and finally, an ethnic of responsibility between teachers and students needs to be constructed and it needs a shift from the subject of relationship to the subject of responsibility.

The Research of An Unconditioned Stimulus Vicarious Retrieval on Reconsolidation of Fear Memory

HOU Baihe, LI Junjiao, CHEN Wei, ZHENG Xifu

2021, (1): 83-96.

Abstract(369) PDF(26)

Abstract:
The retrieval -extinction paradigm is one of the classic paradigms of memory reconsolidation, which is currently widely used in the current research on the extinction of fear memories. Compared with retrieve memory with conditioned stimulus (CS), the unconditioned stimulus (US) can activate more fear memory connections. However, in reality, the US may be difficult to replicate accurately, which limits its clinical application potential. Based on this, this study will present the US in a vicarious way (video), combined with the retrieval-extinction paradigm, to verify whether vicarious US retrieval methods can open up the reconsolidation of fear memories, thereby reducing fear responses. The results showed that neither the US retrieval-extinction group nor the vicarious US retrieval-extinction group showed spontaneous recovery and reinstatement of fear; however, the spontaneous recovery occurred when the extinction process was taken place immediately after vicarious US's retrieval. The result suggests that vicarious US retrieval can successfully reactivate the fear memory and destroy the original fear memory through the extinction training within the reconsolidation time window. However, it is necessary to leave an appropriate time interval between the retrieval and the extinction process.
