2025年12月9日，美国《高等教育纪事》发表了一篇题为《特殊低迷时期的教师积极性》的文章。文章 指出，美国的大学老师面临一系列来自外部环境与所在机构的挑战。这些挑战让他们被层出不穷的教学 或服务性工作缠身，难以集中精力进行学术研究。其中一个重要挑战是，美国高校要求教师推进人工智 能（AI）赋能教学的转型，迫使教师快速适应新一轮的教学改革。事实上，中国很多高校教师也在AI 赋能教学的改革中疲于奔命。 转自：中国科学报 这种情况不是第一次发生，也绝对不是最后一次发生。自19世纪末期以来，从录音、电影到近年来的区 块链、元宇宙、慕课，再到如今的AI，每当新的媒介或信息技术在象牙塔之外风靡时，总有呼声认为 这将颠覆学校教育，甚至让大学消亡。然而，一次又一次的实践表明，虽然媒介在一定程度上促成了教 学变革，但并没有改变大学教育的本质。 为什么会出现这种现象？笔者认为，这主要是因为学习本身并不轻松，需要耗费大量的精力与心血，即 使这样，也不一定能学会。随着年龄增大，需要掌握的知识越来越复杂，能力要求也越来越高。这必然 会让越来越多的人觉得学习并不容易，学习兴趣也难以持久。这既不是教学媒介或信息技术能够解决 的，也无法仅 ...

1月21日，东盟与中日韩宏观经济办公室（AMRO）发布最新一季《东盟与中日韩（ASEAN+3）区 域经济展望》报告。报告估计，2025年东盟+3地区经济增长率将达到4.3%，而2026年增长预计放 缓至4.0%。 与去年10月的预测相比，此次报告将该地区2025年与2026年的增长预期均上调了0.2个百分点。这 一上调主要得益于关税政策的影响较最初预期更为温和、技术出口增长保持韧性、东盟地区的投资持 续强劲以及宽松的宏观经济政策支持。 AMRO首席经济学家何东表示："东盟与中日韩地区展现出显著的韧性，在应对全球不确定性方面比 预期更为有效。尽管面临持续的关税阻力，但强劲的技术需求以及流向先进电子、电动汽车和数字服 务等新兴领域的外国直接投资（FDI），有助于缓冲经济增长承受的压力。" 不过，报告也强调，尽管风险展望趋于平衡，不确定性仍然处于高位。主要担忧包括美国贸易政策的 不可预测性，以及技术需求可能出现的急剧放缓。 地区经济保持韧性 在区域经济韧性方面，报告分析称，内部需求在2025年下半年继续支撑整体增长。一方面，私人消 费保持稳定，这得益于良好的劳动力市场条件以及低而稳定的通胀环境。报告预计， 2026 ...
