The Assessment of Special Educational Needs and the Proletarianisation of Professionals

This article reports our recent ESRC funded research on the identification of children with emotional and behavioural difficulties under the procedures of the 1981 Education Act. It is argued that the concepts of ‘deskilling’ and ‘proletarianisation’ provide a useful framework of analysis when examining the role of teachers and other professionals involved in the assessment process. However, we discuss evidence suggesting that negotiations between these professionals may focus upon teachers’ attempts to define the nature of their professional activity as ‘skilful’. One consequence of this may be the deskilling of outside professional ‘experts’.

积极开展教育科研为深化教育改革服务

两年来，市教育学会积极参与并鼓励、引导各分会、专业研究会、基层教育学会开展形式多样的群众性教育科研活动。各县（市、区）教育学会积极配合课题管理小组抓好各项课题研究，协助各学校做好国家、省、市课题的申报工作，初步形成了以教育行政部门为龙头、教师进修学校为主体、教育学会为窗口的三位一体的教研管理网络和县—教研片（学区）—教研组的三级教研网络。目前各县均有市级以上课题数十个。龙岩一中、永定一中、市直幼儿园、英语专业研究会等承担了多项国家级教改课题的实验任务。龙岩师范承担的国家级教改课题已结题，实验报告…     

Amazing Space: Creating Educational Resources from Current Scientific Research Results from the Hubble Space Telescope

Amazing Space is a program designed to enhance student mathematics, science, and technology skills using recent data and results from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope mission. The resulting online multi-media resources are designed in a 5-week summer workshop that partners teachers with scientists, graphic artists, writers, and multimedia Web developers. An extensive production cycle including specification, project definition, frequent reviews, and several testing periods has proven to generate robust but flexible resources for classroom use.     

Cultural Competence Training for Healthcare Professionals Working with LGBT Older Adults

The population of the aging lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is significant and growing rapidly. As LGBT individuals age and begin to move into healthcare communities, they are fearful of apathy, discrimination, and abuse by healthcare providers and other residents. Person-centered cultural competence and sensitivity among service providers is necessary in order for LGBT individuals to share the same quality of life as other members of the aging community. Programming developed to educate healthcare professionals and aging-services providers on issues related to aging as an LGBT adult must be thoughtfully evaluated to show both efficacy and impact.     

日本高校教育技术专业人才培养分析

日本自20世纪70年代便开始逐渐设臵教育技术相关专业及相关研究领域,文章通过回顾日本教育技术研究和高校教育改革的历程,对日本教育技术学科建设的发展情况进行梳理。随后,文章具体探讨了日本高校的教育技术专业学士学位课程和研究生学位课程,发现日本主要通过跨学科的课程设臵和多部门联合培养模式来进行人才培养。最后,文章结合日本的教育改革和人才培养的实践经验和教训,从课程设臵、培养目标、培养方式等方面与中国进行对比和分析,为今后中国高校教育技术专业的建设和改革提供参考。     

教育技术学专业人才实践能力培养策略研究

教育技术学是建立在实践应用基础上的学科,其人才实践能力的培养是人才培养的重中之重。本文在探讨实践能力的内涵、特征的基础上,结合我院多年来的教学实践,提出了“‘知行合一’的培养取向,建构内容关联且分层的理论与实践课程体系,完善校内外实训基地,运用灵活而适宜的教学策略选择原则,构建适情的实践组织形式,确立‘促进学生发展’的评价机制”等实践能力培养新策略,对学生实践能力的提升做了新尝试。     

信息视野中的教育研究设计——教育研究设计与教育研究工程

紧扣当前教育信息化的时代背景,首次从信息视野,即基于信息视野教育研究原理,对教育研究设计进行研究探讨.以教育研究系统的教育研究者、教育系统、教育研究内容、教育研究方法、教育研究媒体、教育研究交互六要素不断迭代深入,为总体研究思路,并以案例进行了实践思考.期望为教育信息化时代教育研究设计及其相关理论提供一些借鉴.     

走向行动研究的教育实验

经典教育实验强调在实验前要有明确的理论假设、严密的实验计划;实验中要严格执行实验计划,严密控制实验情景;实验后要进行统计分析,得出普适性的结论。当代教育实验,强调实验过程的动态生成性和实验结论的情境性,具有行动研究的特征,称之为行动研究取向的教育实验。这两类实验各有其独特的价值,但实验的真正价值取决于思想而不是方法。     

教育科研信息化门户需求调查与功能设计

信息化技术、工具与方法在社会科学领域的应用,促进了信息化社会科研(e-Social Science)的发展和教育科研信息化的实现。为了以基于设计的研究方法(DBR)对教育领域的信息化科研进行探索,文章通过文献与问卷的方式,对支持教育科研信息化的系统门户进行了需求分析及相应的功能框架设计,并初步完成了系统的原型。

教育研究的困扰与出路——国外视野中的教育研究效益

如何克服教育研究的障碍,提高教育研究效益,是困扰我国教育研究者的一大难题。国外学者在教育研究的组织层面,外部环境,全球化趋势,以及个人研究技能等方面对提高教育研究效益做了一些探讨,虽仍有不足之处,但对我国学界提高教育研究效益的探索或许有一定参考价值。     

实践与思考:农村学校教育科研的管理

农村学校，特别是经济欠发达地区的农村中小学，学校教育科研的管理工作应该管什么?怎么管?这已成为农村学校管理工作中亟待解决的问题。近年来，我校遵循教育教学管理的规律，对学校教育科研管理工作进行了初步探索，取得了明显效果。     

Pragmatism, Ideology and Educational Change: The Case of Special Educational Needs

A major theme of recent debate and policy development in the area of special education is that of inclusion: the placement of all pupils in mainstream schools and the development of curriculum and pedagogy to meet the needs of all. Analysis of national statistical data shows some movement in this direction, but of a slow and very uneven kind. An exploration of the concepts of pragmatism to describe an important aspect of LEA decision making and of ideology to describe an important aspect of pressures for inclusion helps to explain this pattern of development. The paper concludes that both approaches require further systematic empirical data on the outcomes of different patterns of educational provision.
