信息技术与课程整合中全面的教师培训、巩固与支援计划

教师是课堂教学的主导者,要把使信息技术有效地整合到课堂教学里,没有教师的全心全意的参与是不可能成功的。如何有效的推动教师的参与,一个配合教师的工作现状和条件的全面的教师培训,组织及支援计划时不可缺乏的。

信息技术与课程整合的教学模式研究之一——教学模式的内涵及分类

文章是系统研究"信息技术与课程整合教学模式"系列论文的第一篇。这组系列研究论文对信息技术与课程整合实施过程中广大教师必须面对的重要问题——"对信息技术环境下教学模式的内涵与特征应如何正确认识、以及对这类教学模式应如何有效实施"作了较深入的探讨;文章则在分析教学模式及相关概念基本内涵的基础上,提出了对教学模式进行正确分类的原则与方法,尤其是对课内整合教学模式的分类及特点做出了比较科学的阐述。     

教师教育评价思想和方法的变革

对教师教育评价的落脚点不再是未来教师的知识、技能和经验,而是未来教师培养的学生的成就。文章比较了按照莱文的新理念设计的教师教育评价标准与美国的两大主要教师教育认证机构的标准后发现,新思想有所体现但要有效地转为实践,还有待于方法论上的进一步发展。因此,利用教育评价的研究,发现因变量(学生变量)、中间变量(教师变量)和以教师教育的项目或其代表为最终变量间的关系,获得相关系数的估计值,作为将来进行评估实践中使用的参数或相对应的权数的参考,建立一套新的针对教师教育项目的评价标准和度量。     

Development of pre-service teachers’ information and communication technology (ICT) in education competencies in a mainland Chinese university

This paper examines how the design and implementation of a core teacher education course develops pre-service teachers’ information communication technology (ICT) in education competencies in a mainland Chinese university. This course adopted a four-component instructional design system to develop its curriculum, incorporated an inquiry-based learning approach to develop pre-service teachers’ pedagogical competencies, and used an online learning platform to facilitate the sharing of experiences of using ICT for teaching and learning. This case study demonstrates that innovative pedagogies together with more relevant course content supported by an online learning platform may enhance the effectiveness of a core ICT in education course.     

教师的阶层身份、社会功能与专业化——西方马克思主义关于教师的研究

教师的身份是与当代资本主义社会阶级和社会阶层的重新分化密切相关的。教师作为服务阶级,运用学历、学位层级、职称层级、职务层级以及专业学会等维护其阶级和阶层的利益;对教师的经济身份、政治身份和意识形态身份的分析识别可以确认教师的阶级地位(location)和阶级立场;教师在学校教育实现社会筛选和分化功能中扮演着主要角色;教师职业一直是社会底层阶级立志向上流动的主要职业,教师的养成(师资训育)也是一个资产阶级的意识形态社会化的过程;教师通过专业化的证书制度才受雇于国家,获得国家授予的教育(控制)权力;教师职业也仍然存在边缘化或无产阶级化的可能;教师的解放和革命是蕴含在日常的教育和教学中的。     

Educating teachers in Hong Kong for leadership in the age of the internet: a re-conceptualisation

There is very little argument that one of the major developments to have impacted in schools in the past decade is the rapid and world-wide development of information and communication technologies (ICT), particularly the Internet. In Hong Kong, reforms in the ICT teacher training policy, and the fact that Hong Kong is a ‘wired’ city, has resulted in pre-service teachers being well versed in the technical competencies of computer usage and its pedagogical manifestations. However, there has been scant attention paid to the fact that students are actively engaged in large-scale autonomous, teacher-less learning via the Internet. In this paper, it is argued that for teachers to be leaders in contemporary classrooms, teacher education programs need to focus more on the deeper and wider implications of ICT and the Internet in education than has hitherto been the practice.     

The role of the Internet in teachers’ professional practice: activities and factors associated with teacher use of ICT inside and outside the classroom

Evidence shows that teachers’ use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the classroom is still limited in variety and frequency. However, their use of ICT outside the classroom, while more frequent, has been less studied. Our research aims to identify personal factors associated with teachers’ ICT use inside and outside the classroom. Data from a questionnaire administered to a nationwide sample of 6932 teachers in Chile was used to characterise their activities and perceptions associated with ICT. Multiple regression analyses were applied to determine relationships between them. The findings show first, that teachers use ICT more frequently outside the classroom for class preparation; second, that their perceptions of ICT impact on professional practice is the main factor associated with their use of ICT inside and outside the classroom; third, that less experienced teachers use communication tools with colleagues and students more often; and finally, that there is a need to examine teachers’ use of (ready-made) Internet resources.

Probing the amalgam: the relationship between science teachers’ content,pedagogical and pedagogical content knowledge

ABSTRACT

This Special Issue aims to present evidence about the relationships between content knowledge (CK), pedagogical knowledge (PK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK); the development of these types of knowledge in novice and experienced secondary science teachers; and how CK, PK and/or PCK impact students’ learning. Since Shulman’s introduction of PCK as the feature that distinguishes the teacher from the content expert, researchers have attempted to understand, delineate, assess and/or develop the construct in pre- and in-service teachers. Accordingly, empirical findings are presented that permit further discussion. Outcomes permit post-hoc examination of a recent, collectively described, ‘consensus’ model of PCK, identifying strengths and potential issues. As we will illustrate, the relationship between CK, PK and PCK is central to this; that is, probing the hypothesis of pedagogical content knowledge as an ‘amalgam’ of content and pedagogical knowledge.

Evolving patterns of working: do they matter?

We consider how changing attitudes to computer use may alter the habits of students in the use of location and times of the day. We discover for one community the extent to which they absent themselves from the physical university and see some trends. We suggest that this is a deep change of habit, influenced by the ‘digital generation’, and seek qualitative results on what determines the modern student's keyboard behaviour. We present early evidence that, while students are indeed absenting themselves from formal computer facilities, some understanding of the benefits of the physical university remains intact.     

A review of ICT related courses in pre-service teacher education programs

This study investigated teacher educators’, prospective teachers’, and K-12 teachers’ opinions about the effectiveness of ICT related courses and the ways to improve the courses in Turkey’s pre-service teacher education programs. The researchers used both quantitative and qualitative research approaches within the data collection and analysis processes. The data were collected from 111 teacher educators, 1,330 prospective teachers, and 1,429 K-12 teachers through questionnaires; and from 6 teacher educators, 6 prospective teachers, and 6 K-12 teachers through interviews. Even though a majority of the participants felt that ICT related courses are effective, most participants recommended that these courses need to be redesigned to be more beneficial in practice.
