It was compiled by Freya Purnell under the supervision of Robyn Beaman (MUSEC) and in liaison with Megan Etheridge and Anne Stadler of Macquarie University's Public Relations Unit, who had the original idea for the Retrospective.     

Science partnerships under the microscope: A study of Teacher Education Partnerships at Macquarie University

Partnerships between schools and teacher education institutions are now widely promoted as an effective pathway to the preparation of pre-service students. This paper examines the ways in which one form of school/tertiary partnership has attempted, over a 25 year period, to respond to the key questions on partnership: How do university lecturers share teacher education with their colleagues in schools? When and where does this occur? What can tertiary staff learn from the “new” teacher educators? What strategies are being considered to enhance the spirit of mutual respect which must underpin successful teamwork? How well are the vital roles of adviser, counsellor, guide, support and teacher understood and shared by school and tertiary staff as they work with pre-service students? Do the partners share similar understandings of the theory and practice of the program? The authors conclude, as a result of their own experiences in the Teacher Education Program at Macquarie University in Sydney, and as a result of recent research into the formation of specific links between school teachers and tertiary lecturers, that the success of new experiments with partnership will depend, ultimately, upon the success of the human rather than the structural relationships established.

针对高校特殊学生群体的个别教育方法探讨

在高校思想政治教育工作中,必须要对特殊学生群体有充分的关注.特殊学生群体更容易产生异常的思想和行为,不仅不利于他们自身发展,在一定程度上也影响了高等教育的质量,对高校的和谐、稳定和发展也产生了一些不利影响.     

大学教育中学生主体性探析

学生是大学教育成果的最终体现者之一。学生应该是教育的主体,而实际上他们仅仅被当作受教育的对象。本文试图从教育体制和教学模式等方面找出学生主体性地位缺失的原因,并对落实学生主体性地位的途径作了探讨：创设一个比较宽松的环境,建立多元的评优标准,充分发挥教师的主导角色。     

The Increasing Incidence of Special Consideration Cases at University

This paper examines the growth of special consideration requests for examinations at Macquarie University in Sydney between 1979 and 1993. There has been a disturbing increasing trend in recent years, particularly in the quantitative areas, and a profile of the type of student submitting such requests is undertaken. If requests are considered as a proportion of students enrolled, then the figures for 1993 suggest that there is a particular serious problem with students studying on overseas visas who tend to have a request rate up to triple that of local students while permanent residents also have a request rate up to 60% higher. Special consideration requests for examinations tend to be submitted by younger students who are studying full‐time and the rate for females is consistently higher than that for males.

毕节地区的残疾人总数高于全国比例,而残疾人教育起步较晚,尤其是残疾人基础教育的师资培养较晚。2007年毕节学院开始筹建特殊教育专业,2008年招收专科学生,现已申办成功本科专业。从发展的角度看,办学理念需要进一步凝炼,办学思路需要进一步明确,学科建设需要进一步加强,师资队伍需要加大建设力度,培养目标和措施要切合实际,扎实推进,才能建设鲜明特色的重点学科。

师范教育中的特殊教育与特殊教育学

教育不等于教育学。师范院校的教育专业不等于教育学专业。对于特殊教育来说 ,特殊教育学专业同样也不能代替聋校语文、聋校数学、聋校外语、聋校体育等面向具体学科的专业。学科特点与教育学相通的特殊教育学只是应该设置的面向特殊教育的专业中的一个部分。师范院校设置的有关特殊教育的专业中 ,除了应该包括特殊教育学专业之外 ,还应该包括其他面向基层特殊学校特定课程的各种专业。     

Special Education Aspects of PGCE Courses in University Departments of Education: a survey report

Abstract

This paper will argue that academic programmes which emphasise personal and/or professional growth create a ‘responsibility’ on their part to continue to support learners’ development following graduation.

The paper will present preliminary evidence gathered from recently graduated Master of Business Administration (MBA) learners which reveals that unless support is continued, in time learners will revert back to previous practices of learning and behaviour in the course of their work, thus undoing the benefits that the programme has sought to introduce.
