Abstract This article focuses on the issues of unclear self-positioning, vague objectives and unbalanced factors among the interpreting practice (IP), interpreting teaching (IT) and interpreting research (IR) of interpreting teachers in Chinese colleges. Based on the research thread of diachronic and synchronic development in the accomplishments of college interpreting teachers’ in China, and the approach to analysing the three dimensions of practice, teaching and research, this study investigates interpreting teachers at five universities in Shanghai. Based on the investigation in Shanghai, this study puts forward a Practice-Teaching-Research (PTR) model as a three-in-one approach to cultivating comprehensive interpreting teachers’ positioning and strategies in the transition period. It constructs Overall Interpreting (OI) = Interpreting Practice (IP) + Interpreting Teaching (IT) + Interpreting Research (IR), OI=IP+IT+IR as the formula, which is the realization of constructing a PTR model as a three-in-one approach for college interpreting teachers in China. This study has a certain guiding significance in the new era for setting up college interpreting teacher teams and improving their accomplishments in China.

The University

The conditions are investigated in which Spanish university teachers carry out their teaching and research functions. 655 teachers from the University of Oviedo took part in this study by completing the Academic Setting Evaluation Questionnaire (ASEQ). Of the three dimensions assessed in the ASEQ, Satisfaction received the lowest ratings, Social Climate was rated higher, and Relations with students was rated the highest. These results are similar to those found in two studies carried out in the academic years 1986/87 and 1989/90. Their relevance for higher education is twofold because these data can be used as a complement of those obtained by means of students' opinions, and the crossing of both types of data can facilitate decision making in order to improve the quality of the work (teaching and research) of the university institutions.

The opening chapter explores a philosophic question that reflexively sheds light on the orientation of the book as a whole: how can we write the history of the present? Against the backdrop of the more specific question of how to understand the present state of philosophy, it turns to the late work of Michel Foucault and his unique account of the ontology of actuality or of contemporary reality (ontologie de l’actualité). It carefully reconstitutes his concern with providing a historico-philosophical justification of his own project, which he situates in a trajectory that begins with the emergence of the ontology of actuality in the later Kant. It assesses the contemporary relevancy of his critique of historical periodization and his redefinition of modernity in terms of a critical attitude. Given the apparent contradiction between his rejection of periodic history and his identification of a new era of historical thought, the chapter goes on to suggest that an alternative logic of history—founded on the three dimensions of time, space and social practice—would allow us to completely reformulate the way in which we think the present.

Blended Teaching

In order to meet the demand of talent training in the new era, this paper puts forward a multi-dimensional blended teaching mode of mathematics course which is oriented by competence cultivation. With the help of the intelligent teaching platform and tools, this paper gives the implementation scheme of the mixed teaching in three dimensions of pre-class, in-class and after-class in mathematics teaching, which provides theoretical and practical exploration for the course's competence cultivation objectives.

The paper provides an overview of the evolution of Social Sciences with a focus on the Post-1945 period, known for major strides towards scientific, analytical, nonpartisan, multi-disciplinary and comprehensive study and research in different fields of Social Sciences. The paper discusses the gradual growth of Social Sciences in Pakistan in terms of increase in number of persons engaged in teaching, research and practice in various domains of Social Sciences, institutional facilities and availability of funds. There is a discussion of the major features of the research work done in Social Sciences in Pakistan and its weaknesses and deficiencies. The paper argues that Social Sciences have become important for societies like Pakistan that face different types of social and political conflicts. The rise of religious extremism, violence and terrorism also requires that we benefit from the work done in different fields of Social Sciences for understanding the dynamics of societal trends, issues and conflict and how to address them. The paper also reviews teaching and research being done in Pakistani universities, especially since 2005, when more funds became available for study and research in Social Sciences. The universities have vastly expanded their Doctoral and M.Phil. porgrammes but the imperative of quality is often neglected.

Teachers Professional Development

Promoting teachers’ professional development has become the overall goal of teachers’ training in the new era. In this article, the researches on classroom, teaching material, and examination assignment were considered as the carriers, taking the interactive process Plan-Action-Observation-Reflection as the path, so as to contribute to the project features, including the task collection and selection, materials sorting, joint R&D, and problem-solving. Through the reform of traditional teaching activities, the article particularly explored and analyzed the intention, procedure, and content of innovative Mathematics teaching research activity through the projected teaching, and researching model. It is important to pay attention to the combination of theory and practice, education and scientific research, teacher research and expert guidance, so as to enhance the teachers’ professional abilities to solve the teaching problems and promote the regional Mathematics teaching activities to a deeper level.
