江苏省家长教育卷入调查研究

本研究采用心理量表的研究方法,对Walker,J．M．T．等人父母卷入的量表进行编译,在江苏省3市4所小学进行测量,以探讨江苏省父母教育卷入的程度因素之间的影响。结论：（1）江苏省家长的教育卷入水平总体偏高。（2）母亲比父亲在认知上拥有更多的效能感。（3）父母卷入程度与子女成绩显著相关,卷入越高,子女成绩越好。（4）家庭收入显著影响父母的角色建构与知觉。（5）江苏家长较高的认知卷入水平与实际上的卷入水平并不匹配。     

TIMSS 2011数学学业成就及其影响因素分析

TIMSS2011数学评价研究显示,新加坡、韩国、中国台北、中国香港与日本等东亚5地4、8年级学生的数学学业成就与优质生依然领跑世界;数学内容、认知领域成绩随总成绩同步升高,几何成绩相对薄弱,理解的成绩相对优于应用和推理;家庭环境、学校资源和风气、教师配备、课堂教学(数学课程)等关键影响因素与数学学业成就正相关.     

家庭文化资本影响中学生思想品德发展的路径探析

家庭文化资本是文化资本在家庭场所的延伸,是家庭对社会文化资源的吸取和占有.注重家长素质培养,提升家庭的具体化文化资本;整合社会客体化资本,弥补家庭客体化资本的不足;加强家长的教育智慧,发挥家庭体制化资本的有效作用,对中学生思想品德的培养具有重要意义.     

Parents’ educational involvement: Types of resources and forms of involvement in four countries

Parents’ involvement in schooling and education is highly important for children’s results. Still, both levels of involvement and their effects vary according to social class. Previous research on educational reproduction within the family has, however, largely studied differences between the middle and the working class, and generally ignored differences in the composition of cultural and economic capital. In this article, we aim to fill this gap in the literature by separating cultural and economic resources and investigate their correlation with two kinds of parental involvement in four different European countries. Results show that parents with more cultural resources are more likely to be involved by having future educational expectations, and parents with more economic resources are more likely to be involved in their children’s current schooling (e.g. help with homework) than those with more cultural resources. The association between economic resources and involvement in educational expectations is however stronger in Spain and Iceland than in Belgium and Norway, suggesting an influence from system-level features as well as general economic trends.     

A Longitudinal Assessment of Antecedent Course Work in Mathematics and Subsequent Mathematical Attainment

Abstract

Using six waves of data (Grades 7–12) from the Longitudinal Study of American Youth, the author examined the effects of different mathematics course work (pre-algebra, geometry, calculus) on subsequent achievement in, and attitude toward, mathematics, with partial adjustment for student background characteristics. Results showed that in the early grades of high school, algebra courses significantly affected mathematics achievement. Mathematics course work, however, did not play a significant role in mathematics achievement in the middle grades of high schools. There was a “harvest” of significant course-work indicators in the later grades of high school; every advanced mathematics course affected mathematics achievement. Many course-work effects were substantial even after accounting for variables such as prior mathematics achievement and socioeconomic status.     

“Can I do well in mathematics reasoning?” Comparing US and Finnish students’ attitude and reasoning via TIMSS 2011

This study investigated differences between the US and Finland in terms of how students’ attitude is related to mathematical reasoning skills through the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011. Attitude towards mathematics was observed via 3 TIMSS contextual variables: liking mathematics, valuing mathematics, and confidence in mathematics. Scores for mathematical reasoning were collected from the TIMSS 2011 database. We used hierarchical linear modelling to construct multilevel models with interactions of the attitude variables. Findings showed that confidence in mathematics had the strongest positive relationships with mathematical reasoning in both countries. Finnish students generally reported stronger positive relationships between confidence in mathematics and reasoning than US students. Strong relationships between confidence and reasoning remained visible when examining valuing and liking mathematics. Findings provide important implications regarding the complex interactions between attitude towards mathematics and reasoning, critical for mathematics educators and policymakers to consider in an increasingly competitive international environment.     

幸福:学校教育的终极目标

学校教育是为了学生的幸福。但今天的学校教育并没有像我们想象的那样给学生幸福。学生要想得到真正的幸福要靠学生自身的努力,在学生走向幸福之路的过程中,作为教育者的成人要给予学生需要的东西,还要耐心地、充满爱心和希望地、带着教育智慧地等待。     

The student in the Polish socialist secondary school (1945–1989): a cultural context

Abstract

Culture and education should be recognised as identical. Culture should affect education and education should prepare individuals and society to receive and create culture. Therefore, education has to shape young people’s cultural identity. The author presents students of the Polish socialist secondary school from the period between 1945 and 1989, starting from this perspective. The article shows the role of the overall environment, and the educational context in particular, in shaping a student’s identity in a cultural context. The problem is presented through the dynamics of the influence of the totalitarian system on the secondary school and its students in Poland. The temporal frame (1945–1989) covers the historical period of the Polish People’s Republic when Poland belonged to the Eastern Bloc and remained under the influence of communist ideology. At that time the general secondary school was strongly affected and controlled by the Polish United Workers’ Party. The party authorities indoctrinated young people through teaching and the school-related environment. The author addresses the question: what was the impact of the socialist school’s teaching programme and upbringing on the student and the creation of their cultural identity? She characterises socialist education, the socialist student, and cultural identity. Research is predominantly based on archival sources from The Central Archives of Modern Records in Warsaw, The Archive of the Ministry of National Education, and The Institute of National Remembrance. The author also refers to literature on the subject. Archival research and literature analysis were supplemented by the behavioural-based interview method (interviews with former teachers and students who taught and studied in the years 1945–1989).
