当儿童文学成为流行文化

时下,儿童生活在流行文化之中并深受其影响.所谓流行文化,是"以流行和时尚为突出特征,以娱乐为基本功能,以现代生产方式生产经营,并通过大众传媒广泛传播的新型文化形态",它通过对符号、影像的象征,虚拟世界的构筑,引导大众的审美和价值观.例如,电视作为当代儿童最重要的社会化学习媒介,其所传递的讯息对儿童的认知及行为模式产生了重要的影响.

Flipping the Script: When Service-Learning Recipients Become Service-Learning Givers

Urban education is a complex system that is often shrouded in stereotypes, labels, and barriers. Service-learning is well-entrenched in suburban institutions, but is a fledgling or grassroots organization in the urban education community. Often, suburban service-learning initiatives have taken the tone of community service in that it is often directed (albeit often inadvertently) at lower socio-economic families (e.g., to help the homeless, fill the food banks for the hungry, participate in clothing drives). Such initiatives leave some urban students feeling disenfranchised, powerless, and dependent. However, critical service-learning in urban schools can provide a connection to the community, as well as a sense of empowerment, confidence, and intrinsic motivation (Mitchell, 2007 Mitchell, T. (2007). Critical service-learning as social justice education: A case study of the citizen scholars program. Equity & Excellence in Education, 40, 101–112.[Taylor & Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]). When urban students see themselves as vital, powerful participants in giving back instead of being given to, they become critical partners, young leaders, and civically engaged citizens. Therefore, in this article, Pam, a middle school educator, and Tamara, a service-learning partner, examine how a teacher can institute critical service-learning programs in an urban classroom. By highlighting a teacher's intrinsic and extrinsic shifts, practical applications, and students' collaborations and reflections, this article illustrates how to move to critical service-learning in urban contexts. This examination has implications for how specific critical service-learning components can help teachers work with students to move toward socio-emotional growth.

尝试改变自己（3）——让学生感受到你的关爱

关爱学生是教师这份职业的一种象征,教师对学生的爱可以说是天底下最无私、最真挚的爱。但是,在教育实践中,为什么很多时候我们的辛勤付出,我们的爱并没有得到学生应有的理解呢？原因也许是多方面的,但是我觉得很多情况下是我们还缺乏一种意识和能力,即我们没有努力让学生“感受到”!     

Make Your Students Active Learners

Think back to when you were in school.? Did you like to sit at a desk and listen to your teacher drone on and on?
