让生物教学走向研究性学习

生物研究性学习就是改变传统的教学模式，在教学过程中创设一种类似研究的情境和途径，让学生课内外结合，有目的的主动研读、探索、发现和体验，通过对大量信息的收集、分析、综合、处理获取知识，提高综合运用所学知识解决实际问题的能力。     

Applying Learning Analytics to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

In this article we report on the findings of a project funded by the Australian Office for Learning and Teaching and entitled “Learning Analytics: Assisting Universities with Student Retention.” While this project was primarily focused on retention as a potential outcome of learning analytics, its application could be related to the broader concept of student success. Student success allows for a focus on pedagogy and the use of learning analytics for the improvement of learning and teaching with a firm scholarly evidence base. The data gathered for the project provide the background for a discussion about the potential of learning analytics to inform the practice of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. A case study demonstrates the potential of this approach. Overall, clear pedagogical questions are important in the application of learning analytics to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and we suggest potential ways to explore pedagogical questions with big data methods.     

让教学成为共同的财富--舒尔曼大学教学学术思想解读

现任卡内基教学促进基金会主席李·舒尔曼(Lee Shulman)博士对大学教学学术运动在美国的发展起到了很大的推动作用.本文主要从教学何以成为学术及教学学术的实践两方面对舒尔曼的教学学术思想进行概要的梳理.     

Learning Mathematics for Teaching: From a Teachers' Seminar to the Classroom

A successful practice grounded in the principles that guide the current mathematics education reform effort requires a qualitatively different and significantly richer understanding of mathematics than most teachers currently possess. However, it is not as clear how teachers' mathematical understandings develop and how those understandings affect instruction. This paper explores two avenues for K-6 teachers' mathematical development, (a) engagement in inquiry into mathematics itself, and (b) investigation of children's mathematical thinking, illustrating how the need for these two kinds of investigations arises in classroom situations and how they can be pursued in a professional development setting.     

从联结主义到联通主义:学习理论的新取向

联结成为探究和解释个体学习现象的一个视角,从行为主义学习观、认知主义学习观到新近的联通主义各个学习流派都曾把联结看成学习发生的基础。而随着信息时代个体学习的社会化和学习情景的复杂化,联结主义学习理论正面临新的挑战。有必要提出一种新的认识框架和联结主义体系来重新建构学习,这将成为指导知识时代学习设计的新基础。     

泛在学习:高职英语延伸教学的可能途径

泛在学习是随时、随地、随设备的新型学习方式,本文通过论证高职英语延伸教学的可能途径,得出泛在学习能够提升学生英语自主学习能力、英语学习兴趣与英语总体水平,且学生的自主学习能力、英语学习兴趣与英语总体水平呈正相关。     

From Biology to Mathematical Models and Back: Teaching Modeling to Biology Students,and Biology to Math and Engineering Students

We describe the development of a course to teach modeling and mathematical analysis skills to students of biology and to teach biology to students with strong backgrounds in mathematics, physics, or engineering. The two groups of students have different ways of learning material and often have strong negative feelings toward the area of knowledge that they find difficult. To give students a sense of mastery in each area, several complementary approaches are used in the course: 1) a “live” textbook that allows students to explore models and mathematical processes interactively; 2) benchmark problems providing key skills on which students make continuous progress; 3) assignment of students to teams of two throughout the semester; 4) regular one-on-one interactions with instructors throughout the semester; and 5) a term project in which students reconstruct, analyze, extend, and then write in detail about a recently published biological model. Based on student evaluations and comments, an attitude survey, and the quality of the students'' term papers, the course has significantly increased the ability and willingness of biology students to use mathematical concepts and modeling tools to understand biological systems, and it has significantly enhanced engineering students'' appreciation of biology.     

发生教学法:从历史到课堂

发生教学法的基础是数学史,是数学史融入数学教育的一种方式.发生教学法要求教师了解所教主题的历史;理解该主题历史进化的关键步骤;在现代情境下重构推动进化的关键思想或问题,使之在教学上适合介绍新的概念、方法或理论;按从易到难的顺序给出系列问题,后面的问题建立在前面问题的基础上,采取有序的问题驱动模式,揭示知识产生的动机,借以促进学生的学习.发生教学法在理念和具体实施方略上或能保证数学新课程的顺利推进.     

教师学习共同体:高校教师教学学术发展的一种新范式

教师学习共同体是当今高校教师教学学术发展的一种新范式,实践证明学习共同体不仅能提高高校教师工作积极性,促进教师个人的教学学术发展,而且能提升组织凝聚力,提高高校的竞争力。高校教师学习共同体的构建是一个复杂的过程,其中成员的筛选及组织是共同体形成的基础,主持人的选拔和培养,共同体的评价是保障其质量的关键,支持系统是共同体正常运作的动力来源。认识和研究教师学习共同体将为我国高校教师教学学术发展提供新的视角。     

基于学而教:小学语文课堂改进的有效路径——以《詹天佑》教学为例

"教师为主体"教育文化影响下的教学设计,教学的流程就是一个个问题的解决过程。这种以问题为纽带的推进方式,并没有很好地关注学生的学。基于学而教,是小学语文课堂改进的有效路径。用学生的学习活动串起课堂,教学的流程就成了学生连贯的自主学习过程。这样就能真正彰显学生的主体地位,全面提升学生的语文素养。     

美国大学教学学术运动

大学教学学术运动是近二十年来美国高等教育领域进行的最重要的改革。作者从大学教学学术在美国产生的背景、大学教学学术运动的发展、大学和教师回应新理念而进行的创新实践及大学教学学术的国际影响等几方面,对美国大学教学学术运动进行了初步阐述。     

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in A Christian Context

This article assesses the degree to which Christian scholarship has responded to the rise of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL). To what degree, and with what kind of disciplinary and chronological distribution, have overtly Christian publications in scholarly journals evidenced a concern with questions of teaching and learning? This question is approached through analysis of a sample of 9,028 journal articles published between 1970 and 2009. The findings show very limited engagement with pedagogical concerns, and that such engagement is uneven across disciplines. Reasons are offered for seeking stronger engagement with SOTL within Christian higher education.     

“教学学术”运动面临的困境

1990年博耶(Boyer)提出"教学学术"概念,经过近20多年的发展,"教学学术"运动在全球范围内推广,却并没有取得预期的效果。其面临着各种困境:"教学学术"概念界定的模糊性;对四类学术类型之间关系架构阐述的含混性;在实践活动中欠缺可操作性;过多依赖于同行评议;新自由主义赋予其应用框架的狭隘功能主义特性等。其诸多因素阻碍着"教学学术"的进一步推广与发展,这对研究型大学的影响尤其显著。     

大学教学学术发展的制度环境及其治理途径

教学学术是一种传播知识的学术。我国大学普遍存在"重科研、轻教学"、"重专业学术、轻教学学术"等学术规则。究其众多原因,制度环境是关键性因素。我国大学教学学术发展的制度环境具有自主性与制约性并存、制度过剩与制度真空、制度空间与观念空间不一致性等问题及特征。对大学教学学术发展制度环境的治理,须从国家层面到大学内部层面进行制度设计,构建多样化的教学学术培育制度,建立教学学术交流与共享制度和完善教学学术价值认可制度。     

Learning and Teaching Critical Thinking: From a Peircean Perspective

The article will argue that Charles Sanders Peirce's concepts of the 'Dynamics of Belief and Doubt', the 'Fixation of Belief' as well as 'habits of belief' taken together comprise a theory of learning. The 'dynamics of belief and doubt' are Peirce's explanation for the process of changing from one belief to another. Teaching, then, would be an attempt to control that process. Teaching critical thinking represents an attempt to teach the learner to regulate and discipline his or her own 'settlement of belief'. The 'settlement of belief' takes four different forms based on doubt. Peirce's concept of the 'habits of belief' refers to the inner and outer constraints placed both on belief as such and belief as it becomes action. The article may be read as both an exegesis of learning and as a pedagogical guide for teaching critical thinking to college students.
