协商课程与学习:民主课堂的蕴含与路径

民主的课堂学习模式，是西方学校教育的普遍追求与特点，也是今后我国学校教育、课程与教学改革的重要内容与依据之一。本文通过对协商课程与协商学习理论与实践的分析，阐明了建构民主课堂的蕴含与路径。     

Values in Tension: Israel Education at a U.S. Jewish Day School

The Naphtali Herz Imber Jewish Day School proudly proclaimed its commitment to Israel, yet many of its students experienced profound ambivalence toward the Jewish State. Why? The school was committed to a series of contradictory values which surfaced in its approach to Israel education. This article outlines three distinct yet interrelated tensions: tensions between an open exchange of ideas and a non-debatable loyalty to Israel; between pluralism and Zionism; and between inclusivity and expertise. It demonstrates how American Jewish students—when confronted with values in tension—struggled to make sense of Israel and their relationship to it.     

深度学习视角下的课堂倾听:内涵、价值与路径

在发展学生的核心素养背景下,课堂学习急需从浅层学习走向深度学习。深度学习视角下的课堂倾听具有多个层面的内涵,深度学习的课堂即充盈着倾听的课堂。课堂倾听是深度学习发生的前提与基础,学会倾听是学会学习的重要体现。支持深度学习的课堂倾听并不能一蹴而就地形成,需在反复的课堂教学实践中逐步优化与迭代升级,渐渐从独白走向互动,从接受走向批判,从结果走向过程,从排斥走向接纳。     

Pedagogic Hermeneutic Orientations in the Teaching of Jewish Texts

In this study, twelve expert teachers of Jewish Thought in Israeli high schools were observed and interviewed, in order to examine their ideas regarding the proper way to approach and teach Jewish canonical texts. Using qualitative analysis, I identified a central component of these teachers' Pedagogic Content Knowledge and named it their Pedagogic Hermeneutic Orientation (PHO). A teacher's PHO consists of his or her knowledge and beliefs about the way texts should be interpreted in class and about the roles of the teacher and the students in this process. Five different PHOs are described in the article to demonstrate the nature of teachers' orientations. I suggest that instruction and professional development of teachers should be constructed to support teachers in developing a thoughtful PHO. Developing this kind of professional discourse can facilitate the development of common concepts and criteria even if flexible and open to discussion—regarding acceptable practices for instruction of Jewish texts in high schools.     

Insightful Learning of Life's Lessons with Older Adult Guests in the Classroom

An intergenerational initiative was developed and implemented to enhance gerontology in the first course of the practice sequence. Seventeen students met with older adults (ages 82–98) in the classroom and at an assisted living facility. The evaluation of this older adult infusion project was conducted through two questionnaires and by the review of reflection papers completed as a course assignment. Pre-post statistical analyses as well as qualitative analysis evidenced an increase in knowledge of the older adults' lives as well as a professional interest in aging. As a result of this experience, several of the students volunteered at the facility, interviewed residents, and requested gerontological placements.     

作为学习参与的课堂沉默:意蕴表征、价值审视与引导策略

作为学习参与的课堂沉默指学生在课堂上虽以沉默的形式存在,却以积极的认知加工、思维建构和情感投入参与课堂学习.从学习参与视角检视学生的课堂沉默,将以沉默逃避学习和在沉默中积极参与学习的学生予以区别,对于课堂教学从肤浅对话走向深度理解、将学生学习从浅表化参与引向深度参与、丰富学习参与研究的论题,均有一定价值.提升教师自身对逃避型沉默者和参与型沉默者的区分力,加强对学生在沉默中的认知加工、思维构建和情感深化方面的指导,是引导学生在沉默中走向更加深入的课堂学习的重要策略.     

The Use of Triadic Dialogue in the Science Classroom: a Teacher Negotiating Conceptual Learning with Teaching to the Test

Research in Science Education - The purpose of this research is to better understand the uses and potential of triadic dialogue (initiation-response-feedback) as a dominant discourse pattern in...     

Reconstructing Context: Negotiating the Tension Between Exogenous and Endogenous Educational Design

In this article, I argue that when design and intervention are central to the research process, context as a construct is problematized. How we define context can facilitate or impede our ability to construct rich and veridical accounts of learning. A design stance may predispose us to less profitable notions of context. I present the advantages of design-based research for understanding how to enact novel forms of learning and for understanding the means through which this learning occurs. I discuss the characteristics of a design focus that threaten the efficacy of the research and illustrate this with a case example. I conclude with implications for challenging, but more amenable, ways of conceptualizing context.     

自媒体时代下成人非正式学习的特征、价值与路径

信息化浪潮下,非正式学习作为成人学习的普遍形式之一,越来越受到人们的广泛关注。其内涵、特点与自媒体信息传播的特点在成人学习动机、内容、方式上均呈现出一定的契合性。自媒体时代下,信息传播的自由化、扁平化、灵活化使成人在非正式学习中的自主性得到了更好的发挥,所学内容愈发广泛,学习方式也更加生活化、碎片化,这有助于成人学习动机的提升、学习内容的扩充、学习方式的变化与学习观念的转换。然而,网络信息的碎片化、泛滥化与混杂化也给成人非正式学习带来了一定程度的消极影响,为此,应强化成人对学习策略的掌握,使其能随境应变;建设网络社群化学习共同体,以达利己助人;提高信息准入门槛,对其进行控源提质。     

合作学习法在成人教学中的运用

随着教学改革的推进,合作小组学习形式越来越多地在成人高等院校课堂中运用。它对创设积极活跃的课堂气氛,促进成人学生学习兴趣,提升学生成绩都起到了积极的作用。然而,该方法在实际运用过程中也出现了许多问题。本文尝试对这些问题进行了探讨,并提出了相应的解决方案,以求小组合作式学习方法在成人教育中更好地发挥作用。     

Positive Psychology in Jewish Education: Gratitude in the School and Synagogue Classroom

Positive psychology is a rapidly growing area of study for research psychologists, and more recently for school psychologists and educators as well. Yet religious education researchers and practitioners have yet to embrace this exciting new field. The current article introduces positive psychology to clergy and educators in religious institutions. By way of example, we explore gratitude, an area of particular focus among positive psychologists, demonstrating the benefits observed in those who possess and express this trait, and delineate how gratitude can be induced in the Jewish religious classroom.     

Learning Each Other's Ropes: Negotiating Interdisciplinary Authenticity

A common feature of the recent calls for reform of the undergraduate biology curriculum has been for better coordination between biology and the courses from the allied disciplines of mathematics, chemistry, and physics. Physics has lagged behind math and chemistry in creating new, biologically oriented curricula, although much activity is now taking place, and significant progress is being made. In this essay, we consider a case study: a multiyear conversation between a physicist interested in adapting his physics course for biologists (E.F.R.) and a biologist interested in including more physics in his biology course (T.J.C.). These extended discussions have led us both to a deeper understanding of each other''s discipline and to significant changes in the way we each think about and present our classes. We discuss two examples in detail: the creation of a physics problem on fluid flow for a biology class and the creation of a biologically authentic physics problem on scaling and dimensional analysis. In each case, we see differences in how the two disciplines frame and see value in the tasks. We conclude with some generalizations about how biology and physics look at the world differently that help us navigate the minefield of counterproductive stereotypical responses.
