The search for a unified social studies curriculum: does history really repeat itself?

A bulwark of democracy is an informed electorate. Recently, disturbing evidence has been presented indicating that young Americans lack the knowledge of democratic principles and history required by our democracy. One explanation for this complex problem concerns the nature of the social studies instruction that our children are receiving. In this article, common practices in social studies instruction are described and critiqued, and an alternative, more conceptually based model of history instruction that is of potential benefit to students with learning disabilities is proposed.     

数学课程改革的核心环节 --更新数学教师的数学观

英国中学的主课和教材的多元化

从英国中学的许多世纪以来的自由设课到今日的十大法定主课的确立,是一个意义深远的重大变革.这一变革还在继续而已不可逆转.英国中学教材多元化的传统不仅至今未变,且还在发展.它既有其优越的一面,也在实践中存在着一些问题.     

应用型本科市场营销专业核心课程群建设的探索

市场营销课程群的建设,要在营销岗位能力需求为框架构建市场营销专业课程体系的基础上,考虑课程设置的合理性与针对性以及课程内容的可理解性与关联性,把具有相关性或一定目的的不同课程编排到一起,组成一个"群",以便进行系统地学习和教授。课程群建设是一个课程融合与分解的过程,应着力于课程体系建设的本土化,考虑组织专业教学的便利性,注重课程的群落化建设。     

The link: Addressing the problems of higher education through the core curriculum

Three major national reports on the status of American Higher Education have surfaced seven distinct problems common to many colleges and universities. Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College anticipated these problems in 1981 and has undertaken to address them through the development of a sixty-hour, developmentally arranged general studies sequence entitledThe Link. The success ofThe Link illustrates that the core curriculum can be an effective medium for dealing with these problems when approached by faculty in a spirit of innovation and cooperation.

Harming not helping: The impact of a Canadian standardized writing assessment on curriculum and pedagogy

Test-based accountability programs are designed to promote improved standards of teaching and learning within the systems of education that they are connected to. Brenan [Brenan, A. L. (2006). Perspectives on the evolution and future of educational measurement. In: Robert (Ed.), Educational measurement (4th ed., pp. 1–16). Westport, CT: Praeger Publishers], however, suggests that little evidence exists to support the claim that these standardized assessment programs are achieving this goal. This study examines a Canadian high-stakes writing assessment's effect on the teaching of writing in three grade 12 academic English classrooms. Analysis across cases revealed that factors shaping the exam's impact on teachers’ pedagogical choices include their attitude toward the exam, the pressure they felt from their school communities and their years of experience. The study also found that the exam caused teachers to narrow their teaching of writing in relation to processes taught, assignment design, and evaluation criteria utilized. The study concludes that in the cases observed, the exam is having a negative impact on the teaching of writing.     

宝石学专业发展、定位与核心课程探讨

宝石学是地质材料衍生的应用型本科专业,主要研究宝石的性质合成、鉴定分级、优化处理、勘探开采、研究开发、加工设计、评估营销等,专业定位为地质学、材料学与加工贸易交叉的理工科专业.然而,由于材料类本科教学质量国家标准中缺少专业核心课程示例,某些院校开设宝石学专业招收理工科学生,却通过产品设计专业课程来培养珠宝首饰设计人才,致使专业定位不准,培养目标和专业方向不符.因此,我们依据专业特点与材料类本科教学质量国家标准初步探讨了宝石学专业的核心课程,建议有关部门规范宝石学专业培养目标与课程设置,避免由于专业定位不准导致毕业生学无所长,同时也为其他交叉学科的专业定位与本科教学质量国家标准制订提供有益借鉴.     

中国共产党为什么朋友遍天下

我们的朋友遍天下,这是毛泽东曾经讲过的一句话。我们为什么朋友遍天下?因为20世纪很长的一段时间,中国是在战争与革命中度过的。帝国主义、殖民主义压迫全世界,全世界被压迫民族和人民当然要起来反抗。中国革命就是这股反抗大潮中的一部分。我们支持人家革命,人家支持我们革命。被     

Open admissions does not kill colleges

This article establishes an understanding of social cohesion in general and discusses organizations and activities that are known to promote social cohesion before introducing organizations that claim to work toward social cohesion as one of their main priorities. The Council of Europe's Directorate General of Social Cohesion represents a political organization seeking to promote social cohesion. The Jaboya Project and Field Band Foundation are social organizations with social cohesion as a priority. Although these organizations are likely to contribute to it, they cannot achieve social cohesion directly; rather, they work toward establishing conditions that are favorable to building social cohesion and anticipate the probable long-term effects of their work.
