'Inclusion is more than a place': exploring pupil views and voice in Belfast schools through visual narrative

The research reported in this article by David Ryan, an adviser for special educational needs and inclusion in Belfast, was based on a participatory approach in which young people in a number of schools were encouraged to develop their ideas about inclusion. The project set out to explore any differences in perceptions between pupils with special educational needs and those without. The young people were equipped with cameras and were encouraged to generate 'visual narratives' expressing their views about the 'reasonable adjustments' that mainstream schools might make in order to become more inclusive. David Ryan concludes that education must be personalised so that schools take account of the perspectives of individual pupils in their endeavours to become more inclusive. He also notes that young people appear to have strongly-held views about some of the sensory aspects of the school environment.     

‘I think it's about the teacher feeding off our minds,instead of us learning off them,sort of like switching the process around’: pupils' perspectives on being consulted about classroom teaching and learning

This article reports on selected findings from a doctoral study which investigated how teachers in an 11–16 secondary school in the UK consulted pupils about teaching and learning in their classrooms. It presents the views of pupils on the consultation practices and responses of their teachers. While interest in consulting pupils has increased over the last decade, there is little published research on pupils' perspectives on being consulted apart from Rudduck and McIntyre who themselves draw upon data from the study reported here. Qualitative case-studies of four teachers were carried out over one academic year. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews (with the teachers, with 75 Year 8 pupils and with school management) and lesson observation. Analysis was guided by a systematic inductive approach aided by NVivo. Key findings were that pupils: (i) welcomed consultation; (ii) had much to say about its benefits; (iii) valued feedback from teachers post-consultation; and (iv) had concerns clustered around issues of trust and anonymity. The article suggests there are implications for teachers, school management and policy-makers if significant benefit is to be realised from teachers consulting pupils on teaching and learning in the classroom.     

英语阅读研究在中国——10年回顾

本文人工梳理了1997—2006十年间中国知网上10种外语类核心期刊（俄语期刊不在此列）,从这些期刊上统计出有关阅读类文章88篇（不合阅读测试类）。从阅读理解过程、参与因素和研究方法三方面进行分类阐述,概括了近十年阅读研究在中国的发展状况、特征,以及存在的问题,并对问题提出了相应的对策。     

2001-2005年中国妇女运动史研究述评

进入21世纪的中国妇女运动史研究在研究视域、研究方法和叙事方式上呈现出新的取向,不同形态的妇女运动被置于中国现代化的历史脉络中加以考察,新概念、新范畴的介入引发了对妇女运动事件与人物的重新审视,凸显了运动主体的成长轨迹,使新世纪的妇女运动史研究更加生动鲜活。但综观五年来的妇运史研究仍存在着基础理论研究薄弱,自我更新能力不足,在用外来概念重新建构历史时,忽视对史料的梳理分析等问题。为此,妇运史研究者应钩沉探微,处理好理论与实证、叙述与阐释、传统与创新、外来与本土的关系,以整合复杂多样的历史经验,增强妇运史的研究活力。     

阅读在小学生品德养成过程中的运用

阅读是人类学习前人优秀文化的一种最有效最迅速的方法。阅读广泛地运用在各门学科的教学上,但阅读作为小学生品德养成的一种方法,还没有普遍开展开来,因此需要教育人士在观念上进行改变和接受。目前,对于阅读成为小学生品德养成的方法要取得良好成效,主要是阅读内容的把握和阅读方法的适当。分级阅读标准目前来说在我国虽然尚未达成标准共识。由于我国开展分级阅读的进程比国外晚20多年,但就阅读研究所推荐书目,以及中国儿童分级阅读研讨会研讨的标准具有很强的代表性。对于阅读方法方面,主要是分级阅读、分享阅读、亲子阅读以及响应国家的“全民阅读计划”的号召,学校、社会、家庭积极开展各种阅读活动。阅读作为品德养成的方法,虽然在理论上有科学的理论依据,在实践中有教育家的大力实践并取得惊人成效,但开展起来还是遇到各种问题。面对这些问题我们都必须通过紧扣阅读内容和阅读的有效方式来解决,并且还要在应试教育的大环境下找到与阅读相适应的平衡点。当然,阅读作为一种小学生品德养成的方法,它也只是众多品德养成方法中的一种,不能将其与其他方式硬性割裂,它们是统一和交融的,在品德养成过程中,可以采用其中的几种综合一起使用。     

Truants on truancy – a badness or a valuable indicator of unmet special educational needs?

Neil Southwell states that he was, himself, a persistent truant from school. He returned to education as a mature student via an access course and he now lectures in education studies at the University of Northampton. He is currently researching into truancy, its causes and its management and brings to his work an unusual but highly illuminating 'truantist perspective'.
In this article, Neil Southwell reviews the literature on truancy and reveals a complex and contradictory picture. Policy and practice to date have, however, tended to be united in locating responsibility for truancy with truants and their families. Drawing on his own experience and his research into the perspectives of truants, Neil Southwell makes a case for a radically different approach. He argues that truancy can be seen as a key indicator of unmet educational needs and that the issue of truancy will not be addressed effectively until policy makers, practitioners and researchers learn to listen to the voices of truants themselves.     

Encouraging voices: listening to young people who have been marginalised

When provided with an opportunity to reflect upon their experiences of education, young people can often offer insights into those procedures and actions which have either supported or inhibited learning. In this article Richard Rose and Michael Shevlin describe how a team of researchers came together with a group of young people from marginalized communities, including those with disabilities, from refugee families or from ethnic minorities to explore the ways in which they had been included or excluded by the education system. The project described involved a team of people drawn from the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Their work focused upon the experiences of young people who were concerned to tell their stories and, in so doing, inform teachers and education policy makers about the steps which may be taken to enable the inclusion agenda to be more thoughtfully addressed.     

我们今天怎样研究赛珍珠——从中国赛珍珠研究现状谈起

中国赛珍珠研究已经走过了70余年的历程,特别是新时期以后,这一研究取得了丰硕的成果,而这些成果的取得除了由于赛珍珠及其创作在全球化时代越发显现出其现实意义外,还得益于多样的研究方法的运用。但是,在此基础上,我们的研究还可以而且应该更为合理地运用已有的研究方法,并开发利用更多更新的批评方法,俾使我们的赛珍珠研究取得更大的成绩,更充分地利用赛珍珠留下的文化遗产,汲取她在跨文化领域的智慧,为21世纪人类文化建设服务。     

文学阅读与历史维度

文学阅读是对于作品的一种再创造．它依赖于作品的规定情境。文学阅读的再创造又是在历史视点框架的支配下进行,它还要在历史视点的规定情境中才可以进行有效的再创造,表现出作者、读者、作品同历史视点之间相互促进的辨证关系。     

从历史演变看阅读教学法的回归

阅读教学法从古代社会发展到现在,历史悠久。从古代社的诵读法、讲述法,发展为20世纪五六十年代的讲读法,再到当下实行的对话理念和导读法,其中有革新也有回归,经历过读-讲-读、整体把握-分解分析-整体把握、个体感悟-理性理解-个体感悟与体验的演变。但是,无论是以学生读为主还是以教师精讲为主的教学法都不是万能的,只有适合学生的才是最好的。     

浅谈小学生的认知特点和读书习惯的培养

小学生正处于身心发展的重要阶段,对外界事物有着强烈的好奇心和求知欲,良好的读书习惯有助于知识经验的增长和个人学习及成长。通过分析当前小学生读书的情况和存在的问题,提出家长和教师应激发小学生的读书兴趣,指导读书方法,培养读书习惯,通过阅读书籍获得知识,满足其探索未知世界的欲望。     

自主学习策略在小学课外阅读中应用的行动研究

为了改变小学生课外阅读效果不佳的现状,笔者选择制订目标与计划、组织与转换、自我评价等8项自主学习策略在所任教的班级中开展了行动研究。结果表明,小学生在自主学习策略的运用上非常需要教师的帮助,而本行动研究有效地提高了小学生的阅读能力,以及他们的阅读效率。学生掌握制订目标与计划、组织与转换等5项策略相对容易,而使用自我评价、自我奖惩等3项策略较困难。
