善学者与不善学者的词汇学习策略

本文通过文献法和问卷法分别对普通高校本科以上学生和高职学生的词汇学习策略进行了研究和对比分析。对前者的研究结果表明,在词汇学习策略上,善学者和不善学者存在着较大的差异：善学者比不善学者使用更多的词汇学习策略：他们更多地使用上下文策略、猜词策略和社会情感策略;他们善于计划、组织和管理自己的词汇学习。而对后者的研究表明,该类院校中善学者与不善学者的词汇学习观点和策略使用的差异较小,但与前者善学者和不善学者的差异较大。

Students’ perceptions of undertaking workplace tasks within a foundation degree – health and social care

Foundation degrees (FDs) involve the fusion of academic and vocational paths in higher education (HE) qualifications; the challenge for academics and employers is the credible assessment of the student’s workplace learning. Focusing to the workplace enables participants to learn from their daily routines encountered at work. The challenge is to help them demonstrate learning from experience within the workplace, by developing their ability to think at a higher level. A vital aspect of using workplace learning in partnership with employers/sector skills councils is that the learning is valid to the role. In response, the programme development group, which was composed of academics and employers, felt that workplace tasks (WPTs) would allow students to demonstrate role development through experiential learning at work. Therefore, this article uses a pilot case study (n = 16), using a focus group methodology, to discuss the assessment of the WPTs within a FD and the students’ perception towards this form of assessment. Findings show that participants value WPTs, they motivate participants to learn and improve their self‐esteem, however, some groups need specialist skills training where workplace competence is required.

远程学习者学习状态探微

远程学习者的学习状态既包括学生从事学习活动前的学习准备状态,也包括学生从事学习活动中的学习心理状态和学习环境状态,还包括学生从事学习活动后的学习达成状态.远程学习者的学习状态具有可变性与相对稳定性、内隐性与外显性、共同性与个体差异性、主动性与被动性、主观性与客观性等特点.这些特点表明远程学习者的学习状态是可调节的,可以从动力结构和支持结构两方面优化学生的学习心理状态和学习环境状态,具体的优化策略有:激发学生的学习热情,增强学习的内动力;充分发挥教师的助学作用;建立有效的学习监控机制等.     

远程学习者学习困难之诸种造成因素

远程教育的本质是教师和学生的时空分离,学习者成为教学活动的中心。相对于普通高校的学生来说,远程学习者有着不同的特征,他们在学习中面临更多的困难。远程学习者的学习困难分为两个方面：学习者自身方面、远程教育院校方面。其中,学习者自身方面包括学习者的环境背景、教育背景和心理背景;远程教育院校方面包括内部因素和外部因素。     

远程学习者学习效能、学习动机调查与分析——以江苏地区为例

远程教育学习可以帮助师生之间隔空对话,解决了在相对分离状态下学习者的学习需求和教师希望得到的学生反馈,是一举两得的好事。这是我国对继续教育发展的一种探索和实践,也是在为终身教育体系的构建创造基础。但是远程学习毕竟是一种新生社会产物,遇到各种问题和障碍也是正常的,尤其是远程学习者对学习效能的感知与学习动机的培养调动,本文就将通过实际来调查研究学习效能与学习动机之间的关系。     

PIAAC results on opportunities for informal learning in the workplace in Spain / Resultados PIAAC sobre las oportunidades para el aprendizaje informal en el puesto de trabajo en España

This article uses data from the PIAAC (Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competences) Background Questionnaire to describe conditions related to informal learning (IL) in the workplace and opportunities to learn informally in organizations in Spain. PIAAC data indicate that in Spain, informal learning processes in organizations are a common, everyday practice. However, some differences have been found in the intensity of this learning by gender, the position that the employee occupies and the business sector in which the organization is framed. This study opens some future avenues to develop further knowledge about IL mechanisms and practices in the workplace, as a strategy to help towards the development of people and organizations.
