Analysing Concept Maps as an Assessment Tool in Teaching Physics and Comparison with the Achievement Tests

Concept mapping is a technique that paves the way to represent knowledge schematically. In this research, concept mapping was used as an assessment method on the impulse–momentum topic. The purpose of this study was to determine teacher candidates’ knowledge about understanding of the concepts of impulse and momentum by comparing and contrasting two different methods; namely, students’ concept maps and an achievement test. The mean of teacher candidates’ concept map scores are extremely low when compared with the scores of the achievement test. In addition, it was seen that although a great number of concepts were written down, not many relationships were established between these concepts. There is a weak correlation between the achievement test and the concept map scores since concept maps assess the students’ knowledge from a conceptual perspective while the achievement tests measure the level of students’ knowledge on the topic and his/her ability to apply this knowledge on different occasions.

遵循“以学为中心”理念 提高物理教学有效性

“以学为中心”有两层含义,一是指学习本身,即让学习在课堂上真实地发生;二是指学习的主体是学生,即让学生在课堂上实现主动学习、主动思考、主动交流、主动分享。“以学为中心”理念可以培养学生的计划能力、分析能力、逻辑思维能力,提高学生物理学习的有效性。文章从“以学为中心”理念的内涵入手,对高中物理教学践行“以学为中心”的难题进行分析,并在此基础上对遵循“以学为中心”理念提高物理教学有效性的策略进行研究。

Teaching the Force Concept: A Constructivist Teaching Experiment in Engineering Education

The aim of this teaching experiment, which was performed with first-year engineering students at a technical institute, was to teach the force concept in a new way. In general, the research was based on constructivism and, especially, the planning of the new course was based on constructivism research into students' learning. As expected, the new course helped students to understand the interaction idea of the force concept, whereas the idea of relating force to motion remained common even after the course. In general, the results reinforce the importance of the teacher's awareness of students' preconceptions.     

From Teaching to Learning: A Paradigm Shift in Engineering Education and Lifelong Learning

In the knowledge society, competence is the most important factor in competition on the global market. That means learning and learning methods now attract great attention in all branches of the industry, in addition to the learning institutions. This article reports on new initiatives taken to promote project-based learning by information and communication technology in pilot projects as well as in a large-scale project. The development is based on collaboration with the industry, universities and colleges in a global setting.

Learning and Teaching Processes in Electrical Engineering Education

The modification of the various engineering curricula to permit adequate preparation of students in a four-year program for careers in a rapidly changing technology of ever increasing complexity is one of the chief concerns of the engineering educator. It is generally felt that a more scientifically oriented curriculum than has been customary in the past will provide a more efficient and more effective undergraduate program. The actual realization of increased efficiency and effectiveness requires a great deal of careful thought and some bold experimentation with curricula. Some considerations in this connection are set forth. In particular, it is held that unification of subject matter, whenever possible, is of primary importance in realizing greater efficiency and effectiveness, and means whereby the scientific bases for engineering may be employed to achieve unity are suggested. In this connection certain tasks that belong uniquely to the teacher are pointed out..     

The Promise of Andragogy and Experimental Learning to Improve Teaching of Nutrition Concepts to Culinary Arts Students

This randomized controlled trial compared the effectiveness of traditional lecture (C), face‐to‐face demonstration (DP), on‐line lecture capture (OP), and the combination of the last two (OP+DP) to enhance culinary arts students' application skills related to sodium usage in food preparation. Objectives were to compare relative effectiveness of the four instructional methods with respect to knowledge about dietary sodium, ease of use of sodium reduction techniques, strategies to reduce sodium and attitudes about use of dietary sodium in cooking; and to compare student satisfaction with the instructional methods. A convenience sample of n = 139 students was randomized to receive the C, DP, OP, or OP+DP intervention. To measure effectiveness of each instructional method, a nutrition survey was administered as a pre‐test, post‐test, and an eight‐week follow‐up. There was no statistically significant difference in performance between DP, OP, and OP+DP groups on each subscale. However, each of these methods performed significantly better than the control group (C). DP, OP, and OP+DP methods were superior to the control group (C). In general, OP+DP resulted in the largest effect sizes, suggesting that this intervention was possibly more effective as compared to the OP or DP. Future culinarians can benefit from learning about health‐conscious sodium reduction cooking practices as seen in the nutrition education sector to improve population health.     

概念卡通在物理教学中的应用

概念卡通(concept cartoon)是英国曼切斯特城市大学的Keogh和Naylor在1991提出的一种基于建构主义的学习方法。在国外众多国家,概念卡通已被广泛应用于科学课的教学、评价之中。1概念卡通的理论基础———建构主义理论当代的建构主义理论认为,学习过程是学习者原有的认知结构与从环境中接受的感觉信息相互作用、主动建构信息意义的过程。这对教学有两点启示:①在教学活动中应该重视学生头脑内部的知识结构,了解学生的知识、经验状况及思维习惯,特别要了解学生已有观念中那些不全面甚至错误的观念。②知识的建立来自于学习者本身的前观念与…
