Superimposing a situation-specific and domain-specific perspective on an account of..

Framed by a situation-specific and domain-specific orientation, this reaction explores two areas not directly or extensively addressed in Winne's (1995) detailing of self-regulated learning. The first focuses on the characterization of the construct of self-regulation. Specifically, it is argued that a delineation of self-regulation should consider its socially situated and subject-specific manifestations, as well as those that are solitary and domain independent. The second area of exploration deals with self-regulation from the standpoint of domain learning, in which subject-matter knowledge and individual interest of the learner become potent variables. In this regard, the nature of self-regulation in a context in which knowledge or interest is limited is contrasted with a situation in which knowledge and interest are high. Based on these accounts of self-regulation, implications for research and practice are forwarded.

重视培育学生的羞耻感

现在有些青少年,损坏公物、浪费粮食、随地吐痰、粗言秽语、吸烟喝酒、上车抢座、排队夹塞……不论做错了什么事,受到怎样的批评,也从不脸红,有时还用嘻嘻哈哈的调侃来进行“反驳”,原因之一是他们不懂得这些不良的习气,从审美角度看是丑的,从伦理学上看是恶的。我们再不重视

Turning the soul: Nurturing the inner lives of student teachers

Abstract

This article describes activities and experiences that encourage students to construct and reconstruct knowledge of self and teaching through community building and reflective practices. Following the assumption that teacher education should focus on the human and ethical dimensions of teaching, and the conscious development of a sense of self, specifically the inner self, the author makes the claim that teaching is an act of “soul turning,” or self‐transformation. When students of teaching are given opportunities to reflect on who they are in the context of their teaching and in relationships with others, possibilities exist for the development of greater self‐understanding and awareness. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.

Primarily Peaceful: Nurturing Peace in the Primary Grades

Conflict is a very real part of relationships that occur on global, national, and local scales, as well as in daily interpersonal relationships. This article details the relevance of peace studies for children in the primary grades, both in terms of current events and in classroom applications. Suggestions are presented for addressing this topic through an ecological approach that includes the establishment of a peaceful learning environment and the development of a diversified, literature-rich curriculum. Readers are invited to explore developmentally appropriate approaches for teaching conflict resolution strategies, as a venue for helping students to cultivate the skills and dispositions to live and learn peacefully with one another.     

浅论学校在培养学生责任感中的作用

在人的素质中,责任感是极其重要的,它是一个人有所作为,事业成功的基本因素之一.如果学生缺乏责任感,就难以担负起时代、国家赋予的重任."国际21世纪教育委员会"在向联合国教科文组织提交的报告《学习--内在的财富》中也指出:"教育应当促进每个人的全面发展,即身心、智力、个人责任感等方面的发展."因此,学校要充分发挥自己的作用来培养学生的责任感.

Essential skills for creative writing: Integrating multiple domain-specific perspectives

The aim of this work was to gather different perspectives on the “key ingredients” involved in creative writing by children – from experts of diverse disciplines, including teachers, linguists, psychologists, writers and art educators. Ultimately, we sought in the experts’ convergence or divergence insights on the relative importance of the relevant factors that may aid writing instruction, particularly for young children. We present a study using an expert knowledge elicitation method in which representatives from five domains of expertise pertaining to writing rated 28 factors (i.e., individual skills and attributes) covering six areas (general knowledge and cognition, creative cognition, conation, executive functioning, linguistic and psychomotor skills), according to their importance for creative writing. A Many-Facets Rasch Measurement (MFRM) model permitted us to quantify the relative importance of these writing factors across domain-specific expertise, while controlling for expert severity and other systematic evaluation biases. The identified similarities and domain-specific differences in the expert views offer a new basis for understanding the conceptual gaps between the scientific literature on creative writing, the writer's self-reflection on the act of writing creatively, and educators’ practices in teaching creative writing. Bridging such diverse approaches–that are, yet, relatively homogeneous within areas of expertise – appears to be useful in view of formulating process-oriented writing pedagogy that may, above all, better target the skills needed to improve children's creative writing development.

Nurturing Mathematical Promise in a Regular Elementary Classroom: Exploring the Role of the Teacher and Classroom Environment

This article presents findings from a case study of an in-classroom program based on ability grouping for Year 2 (ages 6–7) primary (elementary) children identified as high ability in mathematics. The study examined the role of classroom setting, classroom environment, and teacher’s approach in realizing and developing mathematical promise. The teacher’s approach was found to be fundamental to revealing and developing mathematical promise. However, a large regular classroom with a range of ability, along with some common beliefs that link mathematical prowess with competence in numerical calculations and that dominate the classroom environment, pose some major challenges for the teacher as well as obstacles and threats to the development of mathematical promise. The article illuminates these issues and suggests possible solutions.
