创造力研究对新课程教学改革的启示

随着知识经济时代的到来,国家竞争的关键因素是以科技为先导的综合国力。科技的核心便是创造力。因此,创造力的研究也就得到了前所未有的重视。过去,创造力的研究主要围绕三个研究取向：个性特质的研究取向、认知心理学的研究取向和社会心理学的研究取向。目前,研究者已认识到,创造力是一种复杂的心理现象,很难仅依靠某种单一的概念框架获得解释,而试图将创造力看做一种认知、人格和社会层面多因素的综合体。创造力的本质与研究新进展对新课程教学改革有着重要的启示意义。     

What Not To Wear: Dress Codes and Uniform Policies in the Common School

A multitude of reasons are given for banning various forms of symbolic clothing. The only thing that is clear is that there has not been a definitive way to proceed. The lack of clarity and ambiguity over what children should be allowed to wear in schools is apparent. Consequently, policies regarding symbolic clothing are inconsistent and erratic, at best. This article explores the reasons used for the banning of symbolic clothing in schools and recommends four principles that may assist educators and policy analysts in developing more consistent guidelines. It is hoped that the principles put forward will underpin future policy discussions in defining the acceptable parameters of symbolic clothing.     

教育公平：政府何以为能

Unserious but Serious Pilgrimages: What Educational Philosophy Can Learn about Fiction and Reality from Children's Artful Play

What happens if we think of children's play as a form of great art that we turn to and return to for inspiration, for education? If we can see play as art, then what and how can we learn from children's play or from playing with them? What can philosophy, or philosophers, learn from children's play? In this essay Viktor Johansson gives examples of what and when children can teach philosophers through play or, more specifically, how children's play can teach philosophers about the relation between fiction and reality. It begins by exploring the educational relation between fiction and reality in recent revivals of literary humanism. Johansson gives examples from a preschool project of how children use fiction picture books and create new fiction in their play, and how they do so in ways that relate to previous philosophical considerations of literary fiction. To explore this, the essay enters into conversation with the work of Iris Murdoch on the playfulness of art. Through, and in contrast to, Murdoch's work, Johansson establishes that play can be great art through its nonpurposefulness and its use of skill and imagination. Moreover, turning to children's play becomes a method for attending to what Ludwig Wittgenstein calls philosophy's “natural history,” that is, a historicization of philosophical thinking that enables philosophers to learn from children. Johansson concludes by showing that encounters between fiction and play, and with children playing, can be an educational embroilment, not only between teacher and child, but between teacher, child, the visual, the material, and the philosophical in which all learn from one another.     

Differences in Metacognitive Regulation in Introductory Biology Students: When Prompts Are Not Enough

Strong metacognition skills are associated with learning outcomes and student performance. Metacognition includes metacognitive knowledge—our awareness of our thinking—and metacognitive regulation—how we control our thinking to facilitate learning. In this study, we targeted metacognitive regulation by guiding students through self-evaluation assignments following the first and second exams in a large introductory biology course (n = 245). We coded these assignments for evidence of three key metacognitive-regulation skills: monitoring, evaluating, and planning. We found that nearly all students were willing to take a different approach to studying but showed varying abilities to monitor, evaluate, and plan their learning strategies. Although many students were able to outline a study plan for the second exam that could effectively address issues they identified in preparing for the first exam, only half reported that they followed their plans. Our data suggest that prompting students to use metacognitive-regulation skills is effective for some students, but others need help with metacognitive knowledge to execute the learning strategies they select. Using these results, we propose a continuum of metacognitive regulation in introductory biology students. By refining this model through further study, we aim to more effectively target metacognitive development in undergraduate biology students.     

生存还是死亡——《防守》之纳博科夫的“时间”哲学

《防守》是纳博科夫以时间为线索,谱写了痴迷象棋的卢仁的一生。它涵盖着作者所贯彻的两重对立性观点:在现实与彼岸世界中塑造自我概念;讲究主体意识在时间上的作用,从而衍生出生存还是死亡的哲学性思考。很明显,针对人类生存质量的好坏,作者并未给出标准性的答案。然而,他却在小说中留下这样一个伏笔:在变化的时间内,一切皆有可能。     

Recent Developments In The Statistical Analysis Of Ranked Data Adapted To Educational Research

German pupils (age 12–13 years) studying English as a foreign language were taught three grammatical structures (passive, gerund, and future tense). Following Wickelgren’s concept of memory trace strength, the remaining strength of the memory trace after 2 weeks and 6 weeks of learning was studied. The data confirmed Jost’s second law. Results suggest that the decay rate is a didactic measure of the grammatical structure difficulty.

Research on Social Integration: What Are The Problems?

THIS LIMITED REVIEW of research on the social integration of children with disabilities in mainstreaming programs showed that there are several factors which may explain the apparent inconsistencies within the research literature. The diverse groups of individuals involved necessitate that attention be paid to pertinent variables and that care must be taken when findings are generalized to other groups of children with disabilities. An issue of particular concern was the simplistic measuring techniques employed in some research, particularly where studies relied on a single technique such as sociometry. There is limited evidence to support the increased use of multivariate statistical procedures as a means of producing more consistent findings. While most studies reviewed did not incorporate special treatments, that is other than integrated settings, invariably such treatments produced positive outcomes. Studies involving research designs which used the social acceptance of normal children as the basis for assessing social integration frequently resulted in negative findings.

To Define Or Not To Define: The Case Of (-8)1/3

This paper discusses two possible approaches to (-8)^1/3. The first is that (-8)^1/3 = ³(-8) = -2. The second is that (-8)^1/3 is undefined. The pros and cons of each of these approaches are considered and some implications to teacher education are specified.This revised version was published online in September 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

中国农村剩余劳动力流向何处

中国的改革首先从农村开始，12亿人口有9亿在农村，这是我国的基本国情。因此，没有农民的小康，就不会有全国人民的小康；没有农业的现代化，就不会有整个国家的现代化。1999年农业产业沉淀了大约3．3亿劳动力，并且在“十五”期间，我国农村每年将增长劳动力850万人。现阶段，如何转移和吸纳这支庞大的劳动力大军已成为刻不容缓的问题。
