让学生在英语课后任务中体验学习的乐趣

新课程要求关注每一个学生的情感,培养他们综合运用英语语言的能力,使他们在课堂内外体验到学习英语的乐趣。要达到这样的要求,仅靠每天45分钟的课堂教学活动是远远不够的。因此,相当一部分的英语学习任务是通过课后任务来完成的。课后任务与课堂教学相辅相成,是课堂教学的重要补充。因此,我们在对课堂教学进行改革、创新的同时,也必须开展对课外作业创设的研究,使之与课堂教改相适应。如果将英语课堂比作学生一顿美味的“法式大餐”,那课外作业就是他们的“饭后甜点”。如何让“饭后甜点”变得美味可口又丰富多彩,对学生具有非常大的吸引力…     

培养学生良好的物理作业和实验习惯

对于刚跨入高中大门的新生来说,由于高中物理教材与初中物理教材要求的差异,学生原有的作业和实验习惯已不能很好地适应高中物理的学习,因此在起始年级教师应花大力气引导学生养成良好的物理作业和实验习惯。 1 积极思维的习惯 在教学中教师应努力创设一定的思维情境,课堂上每当提出一个问题,教师应鼓励学生“勤思善问”,引导学生发现并提出问题,多问几个为什么,进而自觉、主动地进行探索、研究,在     

How Big is Your Effect Size: Doing Research in the Classroom

It would be impossible to preface what follows with one of those ‘disclaimers’ that insist ‘the views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not reflect the views of…’ This would not only be disingenuous, it would deny the history that I draw on to make an argument about teaching, learning and research. Twenty-five years ago I came to the Institute of Education to do an MA in Language and Literature. My tutors were Jane Miller and Tony Burgess. Since 1989 I have been working at the Institute as a member of what used to be called the English department, largely as a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) and MA tutor. My ideas about classrooms as places where creativity and cultural making are defining characteristics have grown out of my work here, the time I’ve spent in classrooms and working with trainee teachers and MA students. As important have been the conversations I have had with colleagues in the Institute and the writing I’ve done with them. This history has its roots in the work of James Britton and Harold Rosen and their insistence that we have no choice but to ‘begin from where the children are’ (Britton, J. [1970 Britton, J. [1970] 1975. Language and Learning. Harmondsworth: Penguin. [Google Scholar]] 1975 Britton, J. [1970] 1975. Language and Learning. Harmondsworth: Penguin. [Google Scholar]. Language and Learning. Harmondsworth: Penguin, 134), to see the linguistic and cultural resources that pupils bring with them to the classroom as the foundation for learning. John Yandell’s work is part of this history, particularly his many studies of the ways in which students illuminate and make sense of the literature they encounter in the classroom. ‘The text, the classroom and the world outside’ is the sub-heading of Chapter 6 of his book The Social Construction of Meaning: Reading Literature in Urban English Classrooms (Yandell, J. 2013 Yandell, J. 2013. The Social Construction of Meaning: Reading Literature in Urban English Classrooms. Abingdon: Routledge.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]. The Social Construction of Meaning: Reading Literature in Urban English Classrooms. Abingdon: Routledge.) and it signals a clear link between John’s work and the Bullock Report of 1975, with its insistence that no child should be expected to ‘cast off the language and culture of the home as he crosses the school threshold, nor to live and act as though school and home represented two totally different cultures which have to be kept firmly apart’ (Bullock, A. (Chairman). 1975 Bullock, A. (Chairman). 1975. A Language for Life. The Bullock Report: HMSO. [Google Scholar]. A Language for Life. The Bullock Report. HMSO, 286).     

小学生作业功用分析:促进学习的课堂评价视角

本文以促进学习的课堂评价视角来考察小学生作业的功用以及教师的认识与运用状况,进而揭示此种状况发生的原由和小学生作业功能的实际指向.从促进学习的课堂评价为依据出发,作业的形成性功能具体表现在:设计作业时,以教学目标为坐标自编;反馈作业:应用描述性反馈.第二部分重点采用个案分析的方法对该小学语文和数学学科的课堂作业或家庭作业进行现状分析,本个案研究主要是通过教师的行为和学生的反应来分析.最后从内外两个方面来分析揭示小学教师误读作业功能的若干原因,内部由于教师的评价素养低下(我们已有调查),外部是受作业制度与凯洛夫教育学的作业观影响.     

作业展示性评价:学生学业评价的一个重要组成部分

作业展示性评价可作为学生学业评价的一个重要组成部分。它遵循激励性、过程化、感性化、互动性、自主性的原则。为了更好地对学生的作业进行符号化、感性化、互动化的展示性评价,应根据学生的差异设计个性化、生活化的作业。作业展示性评价也是档案袋评价与期终评价的重要依据。

共生理论在小学英语作业实效评价中的应用

为实现小学生减负和作业实效提高同步的目标,在小学英语作业现状和社会各影响因素的基础上,重点分析家长与学生学习的相关性,依据共生理论构建"教师—学生—家长"共生模型。利用BP神经网络软件进行学习训练,确定出合理的小学英语作业实效投入分配比例,提高作业实效。考虑到教学环境的多样性,以及学生家长的投入与产出实效难以用学生成绩与工作时间长短来衡量其价值,可以通过偏离对称共生状态系数来调整共生单元的投入比例,以保证共生模型处于最佳稳定状态,使学生英语作业实效能够获得理论上的良好水平。

Do Your Homework! Investigating the Role of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy in Comprehensive School Reform Models Serving Diverse Student Populations

Like the African proverb, ‘It takes a village to raise a child’, many educational researchers charge that it takes a comprehensive school reform to raise student achievement. With the passing of the No Child Left Behind legislation in 2002, national officials authorized the Comprehensive School Reform program to support low performing schools as they struggled to improve student achievement. As a result of this national effort, an increase in implementation of comprehensive school reforms is occurring in schools serving predominantly diverse student populations in urban areas. Therefore, this article explores the framework of comprehensive school reforms and challenges stakeholders to do their homework by investigating whether the school reform allows for the implementation of culturally responsive educational experiences for students.     

Preparing Practitioners for the Professoriate

ABSTRACT

All doctoral programs in social work in the United States were surveyed as to their ways, if any, of preparing their students for teaching and the faculty role. Forty five out of a possible 51 replied. Although there was no agreement as to the way to do this, all but four programs made some planned effort to help their students acquire some knowledge and/or expertise in the areas of teaching, curriculum, learning theories or some combination of these. Almost all were elective for the student.

Learning by Seeing by Doing: Arithmetic Word Problems

"Learning by doing" in pursuit of real-world goals has received much attention from education researchers but has been unevenly supported by mathematics education software at the elementary level, particularly as it involves arithmetic word problems. In this article, we give examples of doing-oriented tools that might promote children's ability to "see" significant abstract structures in mathematical situations. The reflection necessary for such seeing is motivated by activities and contexts that emphasize affective and social aspects. Natural language, as a representation already familiar to children, is key in these activities, both as a means of mathematical expression and as a link between situations and various abstract representations. These tools support children's ownership of a mathematical problem and its expression; remote sharing of problems and data; software interpretation of children's own word problems; play with dynamically linked representations with attention to children's prior connections; and systematic problem variation based on empirically determined level of difficulty.     

Homework in the Home: How Student, Family, and Parenting-Style Differences Relate to the Homework Process

Parents (n = 709) were surveyed about involvement in their child's homework. A factor analysis revealed three dimensions of homework involvement similar to those found in more general studies of parenting style. These dimensions are autonomy support, direct involvement, and elimination of distractions. A fourth dimension, parental interference, differentiated itself from autonomy support for students in higher grades. Two-thirds of parents reported some negative or inappropriate form of involvement. Parenting style for homework was then related to student and family characteristics and student schooling outcomes. Results indicated parents with students in higher grade levels reported giving students more homework autonomy and less involvement of all other types. Parents in poorer families reported less support for autonomy and more interference. Parents reported less elimination of distractions when an adult was not at home after school and, for elementary school students, when there were more than one child living in the home. Elementary school parents of males reported more direct involvement in homework, while high school parents of females reported more direct involvement. More parental support for autonomy was associated with higher standardized test scores, higher class grades, and more homework completed. More positive parent involvement was associated with lower test scores and lower class grades, especially for elementary school students. Student attitudes toward homework were unrelated to parenting style for homework. Stage–environment fit theory and conceptions of families as varying in resources to support children are used to explain the findings and draw implications for parent behavior and educational practice.
