随着计算机与互联网技术的快速发展,非正式学习成为个体学习的重要组成部分。如何提高非正式学习效果是当前国内外研究者关注的热点问题之一。网络学习共同体的形成及个体交互程度是影响网络非正式学习的重要因素。结合互动深度量表、学习共同体基本特征、互动知识建构和虚拟学习社区三角形理论模型建构的大学生非正式网络学习共同体深度互动影响因素调查问卷,对近200名大学生进行了调查。研究发现：大学生参与频率最高的网络社区依次是QQ空间、SNS社区、微博、各种贴吧及论坛等非专业性社区;在参与网络社区的过程中,大学生形成了非正式网络学习共同体,并总体上呈现出积极的互动趋势。活动形式的丰富程度、资源的共享性、活动主题的新颖性、专业性、活动内容的发散性、以及知识检索与管理功能等知识性维度因素;友好的用户界面与体验、开放的作品上传功能等技术性维度因素;成员间的平等性与归属感、互动的规范要求、奖励机制等社会性维度因素,对非正式网络学习共同体深度互动具有显著性影响。     

培养学习兴趣 提高教学质量

教学是教和学的双边活动,教员将知识和技能传授给学员,学员学到理论知识,提高自己的能力.在这一过程中,要求教学双方能够进行有机的配合才能卓有成效.如果教员只是生硬地把知识灌输给学员,学员机械地接受,致使相当一部分学员对学习基础课没兴趣,从而影响了教学质量.我认为在教学中,从教的方面来看,注意培养学员的学习兴趣是至关重要的.特别是数学教学,只有学员形成了对学习数学的积极态度,有获得知识、技能、技巧的要求,主动地配合教员授课,这样才能使学习成为积极的活动,从而有可能更好地提高教学质量.一、兴趣和教学的关系什么是兴趣呢?兴趣是人们的心理特征之一,是人对某项活动或某一事物的情绪倾向.而学员的学习兴趣则是学员积极探索知识、获取能力的一种倾向,是一种行为动机,是推动学员学习的直接动力,是学习过程中最为活跃的因素.兴趣的主要作用就是促使     

微信社区大学生知识共享影响因素研究——基于社会认知理论的视角

为了研究微信社区影响大学生知识共享行为的因素及其关系,从社会认知理论视角出发,对大学生微信社区知识共享行为进行问卷调查,统计分析表明:微信社区的激励机制与知识共享行为、结果预期和自我效能感有显著的正相关关系,自我效能感与知识共享行为、结果预期有显著的正相关关系,结果预期与知识共享行为之间的相关关系没有达到显著水平。研究认为要进一步提高大学生微信社区知识共享行为,还需要在微信社区或者微信群中设计有效的激励机制,进一步发掘微信功能,提高微信社区或微信群的易用性。     

社区教育教学有效性策略研究

社区教育教学有效性是指在一定的教学时间内,达到学习内容、组织形式、学习方法等的有效性,实现预期的教学目标,促进社区学员在知识、技能、能力、态度及价值观上的发展,最大化地满足社区学员多样化的需求。我国的社区教育经过三十多年的发展,已卓有成效,但在社区教育教学活动中也出现了诸多问题,本文通过几个方面探讨了社区教育教学有效性的缺失问题,并提出解决社区教育教学有效性的策略。

Supplementing the ‘College Experience’ with Program-Based Learning Communities

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to examine the benefits of a learning community created for first-year students enrolled in a criminal justice degree program at an urban community college in the Northeast. Quantitative and qualitative survey data were collected from three cohorts of students in the program-based learning community. Survey questions examined students’ satisfaction with the learning community structure and their perceptions of social networking and academic skills gained from participation in the learning community. Quantitative data from the college’s records were used to compare the academic progress and retention of criminal justice students in the program-based learning to other first-year criminal justice students. Our findings indicate that participants had positive experiences in the learning community reporting satisfaction with the learning community structure and significant social networking and academic benefits from their participation in the learning community. Findings also indicated that program-based learning community students exhibited greater academic progress and were retained at higher rates than other first-year criminal justice students. This study substantiates the positive impact of program-based learning communities on students’ satisfaction, their academic success toward degree completion, and retention.     

More than experiential learning or volunteering: a case study of community service learning within the Australian context

Community service learning is the integration of experiential learning and community service into coursework such that community needs are met and students gain both professional skills and a sense of civic responsibility. A critical component is student reflection. This paper provides an example of the application of community service learning within an undergraduate health unit at the Queensland University of Technology. Based on survey data from 36 program participants, it demonstrates the impact of CSL on student outcomes. Results show that students benefited by developing autonomy through real world experiences, through increased self‐assurance and achievement of personal growth, through gaining new insights into the operations of community service organisations and through moving towards becoming responsible citizens. Students expect their CSL experience to have long‐lasting impact on their lives, with two‐thirds of participants noting that they would like to continue volunteering as part of their future development.     

Sense of community, perceived cognitive learning, and persistence in asynchronous learning networks

The primary purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between sense of community and cognitive learning in an online educational environment. Study participants consisted of 314 students enrolled in 26 graduate education and leadership courses taught at a distance using the Blackboard.com^SM e-learning system. Study results provided evidence that a significant relationship exists between classroom community and perceived cognitive learning. Online learners who have stronger sense of community and perceive greater cognitive learning should feel less isolated and have greater satisfaction with their academic programs, possibly resulting in fewer dropouts.     

An analysis of multiple factors affecting retention in Web-based community college courses

The current study examined four factors affecting retention in Web-based community college courses. Analyses were conducted on student demographics, student learning styles, course communication and external factors. The results suggest that Web-based courses are more attractive to busy students who are also more likely to fail or drop the course. The combined results from the four factors provided evidence that time management and procrastination are the primary reasons that community college students fail or drop a Web-based course. The study also found evidence that inability to get feedback from instructors may contribute to student dropout and failure in Web-based community college courses.     

Combatting Othering and Inspiring Hope: A Unique Approach to Teaching About Juvenile Justice

This case study was conducted to evaluate the experience of students in one university course about juvenile justice and one community partnership working together to create a unique learning experience for two very distinct groups of young adults. One of the groups involved justice-involved young men and their parole officers; the other group involved college students enrolled in the course. University students learned civic engagement is not charity, but rather it is working alongside a community partner toward a joint goal. All participants disrupted the “othering” that commonly exists between two such disparate groups. Finally, the community participants gained hope through experiencing a college course firsthand and being able to see themselves as college students. The success of this collaboration was demonstrated thoroughly through informal feedback, formal reflections, course evaluations, and participant observation.     

‘Becoming your best’: student perspectives on community in the pursuit of aspirations

Achieving equitable schooling outcomes for young people living in communities of low socio-economic status is a prominent issue that assumes focus in educational policy, theory and practice both in Australia and internationally. This paper draws upon the narratives of five secondary school students living in the northern urban fringe of Adelaide in South Australia, a region that is characterised by socio-economic challenge (Prosser et al. in Connecting lives and learning: Renewing pedagogy in the middle years, 2010). Specifically, the participants’ understandings and perspectives about community are used to examine their aspirations through the analysis of qualitative data obtained from a focus group, visual methods, a storying activity and semi-structured interviews. Discussion on students’ construction and pursuit of aspirations is framed by Appadurai’s (Culture and public action: 59–84, 2004, p. 67) conceptualisation of aspiration as a cultural capacity influenced by one’s social, cultural and economic contexts. This paper demonstrates that students from low socio-economic backgrounds have aspirations for their future which are influenced by their schooling experiences and the positive trust relationships they develop with teachers in community. As such, connections between place and learning are highlighted as critical factors in achieving more equitable schooling outcomes. The research identifies factors in ‘community’ that shape young people’s aspirations and ways in which young people can be supported in navigating toward their aspirations.     

对课堂互动教学策略的若干思考

改变简单传授、被动接受的教学模式,发挥学生在学习活动中的主动性和能动性,培养学生学习主体意识和主动发展能力是现代教育区别于传统教育的显著特征。在教学过程中,通过师生间、学生间的信息交流,实现师生互动、相互沟通和相互影响,从而形成一个真正的学习共同体,而互动教学策略则是互动教学效果实现与否的重要因素。     

A tripartite framework for extending university-student co-creation to include workplace partners in the work-integrated learning context

ABSTRACT

While at university, students increasingly have opportunities to play roles as consultants, student representatives, co-researchers or curriculum co-designers, and co-creation between university staff and students has received considerable attention in recent literature. While there is some evidence of co-creation with industry and community partners, workplace partners are not conceptualised as stakeholders in the co-creation process. This gap is particularly challenging in the work-integrated learning (WIL) context where students engage in authentic professional experiences, such as placements or projects, as part of their learning. We draw on reflections and the processes for producing resources in two co-creation activities to explore the phenomenon of co-creation between workplace partners and both university staff and students. Based on the analysis, we propose an extended tripartite co-creation framework. The framework outlines workplace partner, student and university staff contributions as planners, contributors, creators and reviewers, acknowledging the value of contributions consistent with each participant’s expertise, perspectives and time availability. Further, the proposed framework simultaneously reflects the ability for participants to engage in co-creation equitably, while acknowledging the university staff role in curating learning resources. In this way, the model acknowledges the potential for redistributing power through co-creation, while recognising university responsibility for learning outcomes and assurance of learning.     

Testing Programs and Liberal Studies

Abstract. Do sustained induction programs increase participants' teaching efficacy? Data from a qualitative case study of new college faculty involved in a learning community at a small liberal arts college were compared with data from a college-sponsored mentoring project involving first-year teachers from five suburban school districts. Regardless of whether participants taught K-12 or in collegiate classrooms, two dominant themes emerged from first-year narratives: students were likely to overtly challenge the authority of new teachers, and there was a profound difference between novices' own experiences as students and those of the students now in their classrooms.     

Building Strong Community Partnerships: Equal Voice and Mutual Benefits

This article explores an urban partnership and service-learning project deliberately created to improve literacy and strengthen learning communities in an urban, Latino neighborhood of Chicago. The project aligns activities and objectives with resources and needs of university participants, a Latino community organization, and local public schools. The needs addressed include (a) improving literacy achievement in Latino students, (b) improving literacy instruction, (c) expanding students’ awareness and engagement with social injustices, and (d) exploring barriers to literacy access in students’ homes and community. This project serves as a model for developing partnerships and outreach between higher education institutions and the community.
