Longitudinal Analyses of Classroom Behavior and School Achievement

Third-, sixth-, and ninth-grade teachers in a Wisconsin county nominated 982 children as consistently displaying socially approved behavior and 568 as consistently displaying aggressive-disruptive behavior in the classroom. Five years after the original nominations teacher grades in English, science, mathematics, and social studies; rank in graduating class for original ninth graders; and STEP scores were obtained. Analyses of covariance (ANACOVA) were made with IQ as the covariate and behavior, grade, sex, and home location as the independent variables. The results indicate clearly that the children whose behavior was aggressive and disruptive in the classroom achieved at significantly lower levels than their socially approved peers.     

Perceived Classroom Control,Self-Regulated Learning Strategies,and Academic Achievement

Relations between perceived classroom control, self-regulation strategies and academic achievement were investigated in a sample of 302 sixth grade students. Four distinct perceived classroom control styles were determined, based on the balance between teacher and student control over learning. It was hypothesised that student mathematics achievement would be contingent on the combined effects of teacher and student control: it would be highest when both teacher and student control is high, and would be lowest when both of them are low. Student adoption of self-regulated learning strategies would be linked to the net effect of student control: they would be highest when student control is high and teacher control is low, and would be lowest when teacher control is high and student control is low. The data tended to support these hypotheses, indicating that both achievement and self-regulation strategies were contingent on classroom processes.

The title of my contribution could as well be “Cassandra Lives,” though one might hope that even this precarious reading of the future may have a more salutary effect than those of the star-crossed ancient seer.     

关注细节成就辉煌——有感于《细节决定成败》

近日读了汪中求先生所著的《细节决定成败》一书,受益匪浅。书中“从小事、从细节做起”“细中见精”“小中见大”等观点,体现了求真务实的精神,印证了“伟大寓于平凡”的真理。阅读此书,让我明白了这样一个道理:当今学校,决不缺少各种花样翻新的管理制度,缺少的是对规章制度不     

课堂导入环节与情感目标达成的分析

情感目标是新课程三维目标的重要一维。以布鲁姆的教学领域情感目标的分类为依据,借鉴国内学者对该分类的改造与理解,以此分析课堂导入环节在达成情感目标的机制与特点时发现,课堂导入是乐情维度情感目标达成的关键、是冶情维度情感目标达成的前奏、是融情维度情感目标达成的润滑剂。从实践中的课堂导入案例分析发现,具备一定特征的课堂导入的确对情感目标的达成起着举足轻重的作用。     

基于多元智能理论的多媒体智能课程与智能课堂

多元智能理论是针对传统智能一元化理论提出的，随着多媒体和网络技术在教学中的广泛应用，多元智能理论为多媒体、网络环境下的课程的开发、实施和评价提供了一个全新的视角。本文从课程改革的角度分析了在网络和多媒体环境下的“智能课程”的概念，通过对基于多元智能理论指导下的“智能课程”的特征分析；提出了基于多元智能理论的现代课堂教学的新模式——智能课堂。     

学生高阶思维在翻转课堂的课堂互动中的发生路径

发展学生的高阶思维是课堂教学研究和实践的关注重点。文章立足于学习科学视角,聚焦于翻转课堂教学模式指导下的课堂互动情境,采用话语分析的方法,描述课堂互动中学生高阶思维发生的条件,并揭示其发生路径。文章发现,在翻转课堂中,学生的高阶思维发生在由技术支持的以学生为中心的课堂互动中,并需要与教学活动、课堂对话、知识类型进行整体设计。文章的分析方法能够为研究学生的21世纪核心技能提供借鉴,为教师的教学实践提供实证依据。     

有效课堂互动的教师行为探讨

课堂教学从本质上说是一种”沟通“和“合作”的活动。如何使我们的教学更有成效,使我们的学生得到应有的发展,是新一轮的基础教育改革必须面对的一个问题。师生互动的教学过程既充分发挥教师的主导作用又充分调动学生的主体性,教师只有进行有效的课堂教学互动,才能产生课堂效益。

Classroom Behavior of Good and Poor Readers

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate objectively observable categories of behavior for good and poor readers in classroom settings. Seven specific observable behaviors of 3 good and 3 poor readers from each of three regular classrooms at each of six grade levels were viewed under natural classroom conditions. Trained observers recorded student behavior for 30 min a day for 10 days. A two-way analysis of variance procedure was used in data analysis. Results indicated that poor readers did not differ from good readers in starting to work on assignments, having necessary materials available, making unacceptable noise, being out of place, or making unacceptable contact with other persons or their property. Poor readers, however, were off task more and volunteered less than good readers did. The results were interpreted to suggest that poor readers could be viewed as uninvolved students. Instructional suggestions are given.     

课堂行为契约与后果阶梯

行为契约是美国课堂管理流派行为主义控制派的管理方法之一。行为主义控制派有严明的纪律模式和行为矫正模式 ,行为矫正模式常常利用行为契约去矫正学生的行为。本文分析了课堂行为契约的各种类型 ,并对课堂行为契约的后果阶梯 (奖励与惩罚 )进行了探讨

Facilitating Academic Achievement Through Affect Attunement in the Classroom

Abstract

The effect of teacher-student attunement on the academic performance of students with and without learning disabilities was examined. Each Grade 4 student (24 with learning disabilities and 24 without learning disabilities, but matched on age and gender) was systematically exposed to 2 teaching approaches—attuned vs. nonattuned (traditional) at different times using different academic contents (mathematics and social studies). Teaching transpired within 8 naturally occurring classrooms; students were given pre- and posttests to assess their learning. A manipulation check indicated that the attuned teaching resulted in significantly more teacher-student attunement than did the nonattuned condition. The attuned teaching condition significantly improved academic performance over nonattuned teaching. When exposed to attuned teaching, girls without learning disabilities exhibited significantly greater improvement than did girls with learning disabilities.
