Two elementary school affective education programs — a research review

In recent years, a number of developmental counselling programs have become increasingly popular among counselors and teachers both in Canada and the United States. Programs such as Developing Understanding of Self and Others (D.U.S.O.), the Human Development Program (H.D.P.) and Toward Affective Development (T.A.D.) are designed to promote greater self-awareness, greater self-confidence and better interpersonal skills among students. In the present paper, the two most widely used elementary school programs, D.U.S.O. and the H.D.P., are examined and compared in terms of their objectives and format. Next, the research on each program is reviewed and finally suggestions for further research are made.Paper presented at the 9th International Round Table for the Advancement of Counselling, Thessaloniki (Greece), April 1980.

Classroom-based elementary school affective education programs: A critical review

Twenty-three studies on the effectiveness of classroom-based, elementary school affective education programs were selected by predetermined criteria from published and unpublished research dating from 1970. The resulting research evidence was evaluated by methodological rigor, program type, grade level, program length, and leader's profession. The lack of positive significant findings in the more carefully designed studies provides little support for the effectiveness of affective education programs in promoting positive changes on either behavioral or affective measures, especially for programs with an internal focus. Studies of social-cognitive problem-solving programs produced promising results, but require further evidence of effectiveness. The results provide important implications for future research and professional practice.     

Effects of affective education interventions in the elementary school

Affective education programs have had an uneven impact upon children, teachers, and school systems, as have also affective interventions. By integrating environmental press research with Aptitude × Treatment Interaction (ATI) inquiry, affective education appears to be able to merge individual differences with assessment, intervention, and evaluation. This paper describes an experimental intervention and two active control programs and uses an ATI analysis for reporting their impact in the affective domain.

试论小学学校教育与家庭教育的结合

教育是一项包括家庭教育、学校教育、社会教育及教育者的自我教育的系统工程。教育学生，学校固然负有重要的责任，而家庭教育也是不可缺少的。客观地讲，学校教育和家庭教育各有优势，也各有局限性，特别是小学生，跟父母在一起的时间较多，如果家庭教育与学校教育配合不好，就会影响学校教育的质量和效果，从而影响孩子的健康成长。要使教育达到预期目的，教育工作者必须高度重视和认真研究学校教育与家庭教育的结合问题。     

改制学校与基础教育均衡发展

基础教育领域的“改制学校”是与社会主义教育本质要求相冲突的,它加剧了基础教育的非均衡发展,与我国教育法所规定的“公民不分民族、种族、性别、职业、财产状况、宗教信仰等,依法享有平等的受教育机会”不相符。最终解决办法只能是社会经济发展来推动教育的均衡发展。     

小学低碳生活教育策略研究

低碳生活方式的养成涉及到两个问题:态度与行动,倡导低碳生活,必须从少年儿童抓起。小学阶段作为基础教育阶段,需要吸收国外先进的环保理念和运作方式,创建可持续发展部门,将环保教育融入到课堂内外,让每个孩子都具有节能、减耗、节支的意识,并形成观念,付诸行动。

Trends in teachers' recommendations for changing elementary and junior-high school science programs

Since 1978 many studies have called for changes in the practices of science teaching. These changes in instruction will occur only when the teachers decide to change their practices. This study uses surveys to consider the question of what were the trends in the teachers' recommendations for changes in elementary and junior-high school science programs between the years of 1978 and 1982. Large samples of teachers in British Columbia, Canada, responded anonymously to questionnaires in these years: 3040 teachers in 1978 and 1631 in 1982, with return rates ranging from 77.5% to 85%. These teachers described themselves as shifting their classroom practices toward ones that emphasize passive learning and memorization. The British Columbia Science Assessments recommend more inservice programs to stop this trend. There were very few differences in the teachers' recommendations for changes in the schools. The elementary-school teachers had major changes in their rankings of only two activities: they increased their ranking of “activity-centered learning” and reduced their ranking of “outdoor education.”

中小学教师教育科研课题选择问题探析

选择教育科研课题是整个教育科研活动的起点和难点,决定了教育科研活动的方向、价值和可行性,直接关系到教育科研工作的成败。许多中小学教师在选择教育科研课题时存在不知道选择什么、不知道从何选择、不知道怎样选择、不知道为什么要选择等问题。要正确选题,中小学教师应当理解教育科研课题的内涵、把握教育科研课题的来源、掌握选择教育科研课题的标准以及明确选择教育科研课题的目的。

An examination of computing styles among teachers in elementary schools

In this article I examine the ways in which teachers organize their workplace behaviors as they respond to computers in their schools. Particular attention is given to the strategies that develop among teachers enabling them to address their own occupational concerns and organizational expectations simultaneously. Data were collected through extensive observation and formal interviewing in nine elementary schools. Computers had been in each of the schools for at least five years at the time of the study. Findings reveal that teachers shape the meaning of computer technology in their schools through styles of computing including avoidance, integration, and technical specialization. This influence has critical implications for the ongoing process of computer implementation in elementary schools.An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 86th meeting of the American Sociological Association, Cincinnati, Ohio, August 1991.
