新课程背景下北京市中小学科学教师队伍结构的调查研究

本研究对新课程背景下北京市中小学科学教师队伍结构进行了调查研究。调查发现:北京市中小学科学教师队伍在均衡发展的同时还存在着一定问题,具体表现在:存在教非所学、教师兼职情况,师资配备存在地区差异;这些影响了科学教学的质量和水平。地区经济条件的差异和学科受重视程度的差异可能是导致这些问题的原因。

论中学英语教师继续教育的课程开发

在语言学和英语教学理论不断更新的今天,如何对中学英语教师进行继续教育,是当前师资继续教育亟需解决的新课题。中学英语教师均已受过正规的8评议训练,具有独立的分析能力,喜欢课堂交际,对继续教育有明确的个人目标。根据中学英语教师的这些特点,在继续教育的课程开发中,过程模式,任务型教学大纲和内容型教学大纲更加适合中学教师的需求,因为学习者在解决问题和学习各种理论知识的同时锻炼了评议的实际运用能力,提高了教学和科研能力,在教学大纲的实施中,须贯彻八项原则:1.教学现场相结合;2.理论与教学实践相结合;3.解决中学教学中的难点;4.课堂交流与讲解并重,鼓励学员在课堂上进行讲座;5.内容学习和言语学习并重;6.与现代化教学手段接轨;7.注重能力的培养;8.鼓励创造性的学习。     

实践取向的中小学教师培训课程设计的内涵及价值诉求

近年来,国家对教师培训课程倡导实践取向的理念。实践取向的中小学教师培训课程设计主要包含两层含义:一是形式上的实践取向,即中小学教师培训课程设计的各个环节都要全程贯穿实践取向的理念,以实践为核心,突出实践;二是实质上的实践取向,即中小学教师培训课程设计重在激起教师的主体性认识,养成其自主反思的习惯,在实践中不断促进反思性实践的形成和发展。中小学教师培训课程设计凸显实践性、反思性、建构性、自主性和主体性等基本特征,同时还具有关注实践问题、追求实践智慧及倡导理性实践等价值诉求。     

日本中小学教师职前教育课程新变革

日本文部科学省自2019年4月1日起开始实施对中小学教师培训课程的变革。主要变革内容为提高教师信息活用技术和外语能力、强化教师的教育理解并关注特殊学生群体、增加对教师的综合学习时间课程的指导以及允许高校自主设置一定的培养课程,提高了教师队伍质量。而我国目前的教师资格考试制度存在种种弊端,例如教师准入门槛低、缺乏教学实践经验和理论知识的积累以及教师信息技术手段活用能力不足等问题。它山之石,可以攻玉,借鉴日本经验有益于我国发展教师队伍建设,提高我国教师专业素质。     

Teachers’ beliefs about inquiry-based learning and its impact on formative assessment practice

ABSTRACT

Background

Inquiry pedagogy has been advocated as means to engage and motivate students to learn science. The development of teacher formative assessment practice in inquiry is key for a successful implementation of student-centred inquiry pedagogy in the classroom.     

教师研究与中学英语教师职业发展

20世纪80年代中、后期,一场被称为“教师研究”的教育实验运动席卷美国,学校教师(K-12)成为课堂教学研究的主体,这一教育实验运动的成效尤见于语言教学领域。联系到目前我国中学英语教学研究的现状,身处一线的教师虽掌握着课堂教学的第一手资料,却由于缺少学科理论上的指导和研究手段上的训练而无法成为教学研究的主体。教师研究对中学英语教师的职业发展和英语教学效能的提高具有着十分重要的意义,因此在我们的师范教育课程设置中应增强旨在提高师范生和在职培训教师的研究能力的研究型培养模式。     

A Placement Study in Secondary School Economics

Quite often in data reduction, it is more meaningful and economical to select a subset of variables instead of reducing the dimensionality of the variable space with principal components analysis. The authors present a neglected method for variable selection called the BI-method (R. P. Bhargava &; T. Ishizuka, 1981). It is a direct, simple method that uses the same criterion—trace information—used in ordinary regression analysis. The authors begin by discussing the nature and properties of the BI-method and then show how it is different from other existing variable selection methods. Because the BI-method originally was applied to small datasets that had little or no relevance to psychology or education, the authors apply it to large datasets with relevance to the psychological and educational literature. Of particular interest was the application of the BI-method to select a subset of items from a large item pool. Two practical psychometric examples with 49 and 108 items, respectively, showed that item subsets selected with the BI-method reflected the underlying structure of the whole item pool and that the scales based on those item subsets showed good reliability and predictive validity. The appropriateness of this item selection method within the context of the domain-sampling model is discussed.

略论中学校长的职业幸福感

中学校长职业幸福感是指在内、外部因素的作用和影响下,中学校长对自己在校长职位上期望和需要满足状况的积极评价和愉悦的心理体验。它来源于个人需要的满足和职业成就的取得。要提升中学校长的职业幸福感需要政府、校长本人和社会三方面力量的共同努力。

中等职业学校必须服务于地方经济建设,在培养目标的总体要求下,开发出具有一定操作性和规范性的专业技能校本课程,这样,可以增强技能教学的有效性,促进技能型人才的培养。     

Taking the Curriculum Seriously

Critics argue that formative assessment, an educational intervention that has been embraced globally and researched extensively, lacks a theoretical frame. In this essay, the author argues that because formative assessment is embedded in the learning that takes place in the classroom, the theory that underpins formative assessment would have to be a theory of learning and not of assessment.     

中职学校数学课程改革的思考

经济的发展需要大量高素质的技术工人与中职生源质量大幅度下降的矛盾日益突出,中职数学课程的普教化和学生的厌学情绪越来越严重。面对这种现实,中职数学课程必须改革。在改革过程中,必须以学生为本,以社会需求为本,突出“实用、够用、生动”,着力培养学生学习数学的兴趣和良好的学习习惯。

Implementing Citizenship into the English Secondary School Curriculum

This article represents a snapshot of ten state secondary schools in the north of England immediately prior to the implementation of the statutory inclusion of citizenship in the revised National Curriculum. It includes data from interviews with the citizenship coordinator of each school and offers a range of responses by schools to the change. The two authors respectively, bring to the study their experience of Educational Management and Humanities and offer two different perspectives on the management of change, curriculum planning and implementation. Practical issues of status of the subject, resources, structures and staff development sit alongside contested issues of philosophy, content, pedagogy and outcomes.
Whilst recognizing the qualities and the commitment of the citizenship coordinators, a number of issues are raised that might give cause for concern at the medium to long-term future of this curriculum development.     

Responding to the Challenges Posed by Summative Teacher Candidate Evaluation: A collaborative self-study of practicum supervision by faculty

In our pre-service department, university practicum supervisors are faculty members who offer academic, social, and personal support to teacher candidates during their year-long program. Their role is described as one designed primarily to provide formative assessment and feedback to improve classroom practice and reflection on practice. This collaborative self-study describes how two new faculty members responded to the challenges posed by the teacher candidate evaluation process. Methods used included formal tape-recorded discussions during meetings of the self-study group of newly hired faculty, email correspondence, field notes, feedback from public forums about our work, and teacher candidate insights concerning the practicum evaluation process conducted by faculty. New strategies were developed to address the tensions associated with using summative evaluations in a formative framework and to improve practice during faculty practicum supervision.
