体验式远程培训中的学习支持设计——来自教育技术能力建设项目的经验

2004年底,教育部师范司启动了全国中小学教师教育技术能力建设项目,该项目采用面对面及远程的方式对中小学教师进行教育技术培训.作为一种体验式的培训,在远程开展的过程中势必对学习支持会产生新的要求.本文即以教育技术能力建设项目的远程体验式培训试点为契机,采用基于设计的研究方法,对远程体验式培训的学习支持系统进行了设计、试用和改进.试点过程中,我们通过调查、问卷等方式对数据进行了收集和分析.结果表明:从体验学习的理解、行动、分享等方面关注学习支持,考虑到了教师的实际需要;体验学习的理解、行动(设计/创建)阶段都需要丰富案例的支持;在线学习共同体让学习者受益匪浅,体验学习的分享、交流与反思依赖于学习共同体.最后本文给出了改善学习支持系统设计的若干建议.     

Who Needs What: Recommendations for Designing Effective Online Professional Development for Computer Science Teachers

The new Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science (CS) Principles course increases the need for quality CS teachers and thus the need for professional development (PD). This article presents the results of a 2-year study investigating how teachers teaching the AP CS Principles course for the first time used online PD material. Our results showed that the teaching and computing background of teachers had a significant impact on the teachers' need for and use of online PD material. More specifically, novice CS teachers needed and used PD for developing their pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Non-CS teachers needed and used PD materials emphasizing content knowledge. Experienced CS teachers believed they had little need for PD even though they were teaching a new course. Our study makes three recommendations for designing effective online PD for CS teachers: match PD to teachers' background, align PD with the course curriculum, and use effective motivational design to enhance teacher engagement.

Designing Education for Professional Expertise Development

How to facilitate learning by novices (students) on their road to expertise has attracted the attention of a vast number of researchers in cognitive and educational psychology as well in the field of learning and instruction. Although many studies have investigated the phenomenon of expertise development, the implications of the findings for instruction are scattered throughout the literature. This article reports the results of a systematic literature review of 37 studies on expertise development. Using Tynjälä's Integrative Pedagogy Model as an organising framework, the implications for educational practice described in these studies are presented as 10 instructional principles. This study takes a step towards translating expertise development research into guidelines for instruction. Implications for future research are discussed.     

促进教师同伴互助的在线实践社区环境设计框架

同伴互助是促进教师专业发展的有效方法,在线实践社区是支撑时空分离的教师同伴互助的重要环境,因此,优质的在线实践社区环境是促进教师同伴瓦助的关键.本文在相关文献综述和教师同伴互助实践的基础上,提出一个能够有效促进教师同伴互助的在线实践社区环境的设计框架.文章分三个部分:第一部分说明同伴互助的内涵;第二部分提出有效促进教师同伴互助的在线实践社区环境设计框架;第三部分详细描述了设计框架的各个组成要素.文章认为,有效促进教师同伴互助的在线实践社区环境必须围绕活动、交互、工具、机制、行为和关系六大基本要素来进行.笔者提出,该设计框架为教师同伴互助提供了一种思考和实践范式,据此设计和开发的在线实践社区能够有败地促进教师的同伴互助.     

网络条件下互动的教育者业务发展

在知识积累、学习研究和教育技术飞速发展的当今时代，教师必须成为不断的学习，作为一种工具，因特网可能克服教育在业务发展方向的局限，但仅仅靠技术还不能改变教育实践。因特网资源必须同活动和机制相结合，才能帮助教师发展自己的业务。本作将引用哈佛教育研究院所发展的网络学习环境及有关的网上课程，以说明主题。

对设计教师专业发展项目的思考

社会认知学习理论和成人学习理论把教师学习和专业发展视为情境化的,是主动探究与合作学习的过程。因此,设计教师专业发展项目需要进行教育与教学情境调查,需要针对不同的教师群体来设置教师专业发展的目标与内容,选择由诸多个体组成的教师专业发展促进者,教师专业发展评估需要关注后续活动。     

对高校专业学位点自我评估的思考 ——基于武汉理工大学的实践

基于武汉理工大学专业学位点评估实践,认为专业学位点自我评估要坚持学校自我评估与政府合格评估相结合、学位点自我评估与学科动态调整相结合、学位点自我评估与学科绩效投入相结合、综合评估与专项评估相结合、学术管理与行政管理相结合、学位点评估与后续建设相结合等六项原则,在具体实施过程中要经历试点阶段和全面推进阶段,要找准专业学位点自我评估定位,明确专业学位点发展目标,强化专业学位点专项评估,引入多元主体参与自我评估。     

Designing Curriculum-Based Mathematics Professional Development for Kindergarten Teachers

This study examines the influence of a year-long mathematics professional development program on Kindergarten teachers’ beliefs, content knowledge, instructional practices, and their students’ achievement. The professional development program is grounded in the theoretical construct of learner-centered professional development and focuses on supporting teachers’ integration of standards-based pedagogies aligned with the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics. Data analysis included examining 15 Kindergarten teachers’ mathematics content knowledge, their beliefs about mathematics, their enactment of student-centered pedagogies, and student achievement on curriculum-based assessments. Findings indicated that teachers adopted more student-centered pedagogies and embraced more student-centered beliefs about mathematics teaching during their time in the project. Further, Kindergarten teachers also demonstrated gains in their mathematical content knowledge, and those content knowledge gains were linked to gains in student achievement.

Designing Large-Scale Multisite and Cluster-Randomized Studies of Professional Development

We develop a theoretical and empirical basis for the design of teacher professional development studies. We build on previous work by (a) developing estimates of intraclass correlation coefficients for teacher outcomes using two- and three-level data structures, (b) developing estimates of the variance explained by covariates, and (c) modifying the conventional optimal design framework to include differential covariate costs so as to capture the point at which the cost of collecting a covariate overtakes the reduction in variance it supplies. We illustrate the use of these estimates to explore the absolute and relative sensitivity of multilevel designs in teacher professional development studies. The results from these analyses are intended to guide researchers in making more-informed decisions about the tradeoffs and considerations involved in selecting study designs for assessing the impacts of professional development programs.     

Web-Based Professional Development Model to Enhance Teaching of Strategies for Online Academic Research in Middle School

High-quality professional development is needed to prepare teachers to help students learn how to conduct online academic research and meet Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. This study created and evaluated a Web-based professional development program with five instructional modules designed to prepare middle-school teachers to teach their students nine strategies for conducting academic research online. The online professional development program was specifically created to help teachers implement the previously developed online SOAR Student Toolkit curriculum with all students in inclusive classrooms. Results of a 2015–2016 pilot study conducted with 13 teachers and 477 students in sixth to eighth grades indicated that most teachers perceived the professional development program to be of high quality and relevant in helping them teach online research skills to their students. Students significantly improved online research skills after learning from trained teachers (27 percentage points improvement, from 18% at pretest to 45% at posttest).

Facilitating Grounded Online Interactions in Video-Case-Based Teacher Professional Development

The use of interactive video cases for teacher professional development is an emergent medium inspired by case study methods used extensively in law, management, and medicine, and by the advent of multimedia technology available to support online discussions. This paper focuses on Web-based grounded discussions—in which the participants base their contributions on specific events portrayed in the case—and the role facilitators play in these online interactions. This paper analyzes the online exchange of messages in one school district that participated in a video-case-based program of teacher professional development and derives principles that will help facilitators lead grounded online interactions.
