关于家教的法律思考

现代汉语词典对家教的解释是，“家长对子弟进行的关于道德、礼节的教育”。显然，这一解释与当今社会上人们所讲的家教不是一个意思。现代意义上的家教虽然还没有一个统一的概念界定，但其主要含义还是相近的。本文所指的家教是指：家长为提高子女的考试成绩，在学校教育时间之外，

大学生家教与家教礼仪探微

家教服务是大学生常见的社会实践活动,是大学生走进社会的实习与预演。要搞好家教服务,就要注意相应的礼仪修养与素质,如社会人际交往礼仪修养、思想品德修养、专业知识修养、言语沟通能力素质等。这些能力和修养可以帮助大学生顺利完成家教工作,也能充分展示大学生的素质、修养,塑造大学生形象。     

关于有偿家教的理性思考

教师有偿家教一直是为社会所诟病的教育界的不正之风气。虽然各级教育主管部门对于有偿家教问题也出台了相关的政策,采取了相关的举措,然而有偿家教问题却没有得到根本的解决。有偿家教对于教育会产生怎样的负面影响?有偿家教又反映了当前存在的     

浅谈大学生家教现状及家教管理对其发展的影响

通过对陕西师范大学学生兼职家教现象及家教服务中心工作现状的调查,发现大学生兼职家教过程中存在诸多问题,例如大学生家教的安全、有限的授课经验和水平、家教管理制度不完善、管理环境恶劣等,这些问题是影响大学生家教收到良好效果的直接因素。本文针对大学生家教中存在的问题提出相应的建议及对策,以建立绿色家教管理机构作为家教行业管理的主要平台,并呼吁社会各界为大学生家教职业提供良好的发展环境。     

Cross‐Age Peer Tutoring of Reading and Thinking: Influence on thinking skills

Outcomes for methods to accelerate thinking skills involving some peer interaction have been more consistently positive than those for purely teacher‐directed or materials‐led methods. However, methods involving mainly or only peer interaction are rare. This paper describes and evaluates such a method for peer tutoring in thinking skills, which scaffolds interactive discourse based on a differentiated real book the tutorial pair has chosen to read together. This pilot study aimed to partial the impact on quality of thinking of a peer‐tutored thinking intervention from that of a peer‐tutored reading intervention, controlling for time on task and amount of peer interactivity. Experimental peer tutees were a whole class (n=28) of seven‐year‐olds; experimental tutors a whole class (n=31) of 11‐year‐olds. Comparison tutees were a whole class (n=27) of seven‐year‐olds; comparison tutors a whole class (n=30) of 11‐year‐olds. Classes/teachers within the same school were randomly assigned to conditions. In Phase 1, a paired reading intervention was implemented for six weeks for all groups. In Phase 2, the experimental classes of tutors and tutees engaged in the “paired thinking” (PT) method for 10 weeks, while the comparison group continued with paired reading. Both treatments involved one 20‐minute session weekly. Pre‐ and post‐test assessment of thinking skills and attitude to reading for all participants was conducted and post hoc subjective feedback gathered from participants. The experimental (PT) tutees showed significantly better performance in thinking skills than comparison (PR only) tutees, and some evidence of improved attitudes to reading. However, this was not true for the experimental (PT) tutors. Subjective feedback was very positive from the PT tutees and class teachers, but less positive from the PT tutors. Given the brevity and low cost in time and resources of the treatment, the finding of significant differences in measured thinking skills for the PT tutees is considered encouraging. Recommendations for refining organizational aspects of the implementation of PT and for future research are made.

Cross–age Peer Tutoring of Thinking Skills in the High School

Teaching thinking skills has been characterised by the teacher-directed ‘embed ded’, ‘infusion’ and ‘bolt-on’ approaches, for which outcomes have been mixed. Peer tutoring in thinking skills offers a fourth way of wide applicability. This study evaluated such a method (Paired Thinking) in a high school setting. A substantial gain in reading comprehension was found for tutees. Triangulated subjective feedback indicated development in thinking skills, self-esteem and social skills for tutees and tutors. Paired Thinking appeared to yield considerable potential impact for minimal time input. Recommendations for refining organisation and for future research and practice were made.     

Thinking Critically about Critical Thinking

As a philosophy professor, one of my central goals is to teach students to think critically. However, one difficulty with determining whether critical thinking can be taught, or even measured, is that there is widespread disagreement over what critical thinking actually is. Here, I reflect on several conceptions of critical thinking, subjecting them to critical scrutiny. I also distinguish critical thinking from other forms of mental processes with which it is often conflated. Next, I present my own conception of critical thinking, wherein it fundamentally consists in acquiring, developing, and exercising the ability to grasp inferential connections holding between statements. Finally, given this account of critical thinking, and given recent studies in cognitive science, I suggest the most effective means for teaching students to think critically.     

The Relative Effectiveness of Human Tutoring,Intelligent Tutoring Systems,and Other Tutoring Systems

This article is a review of experiments comparing the effectiveness of human tutoring, computer tutoring, and no tutoring. “No tutoring” refers to instruction that teaches the same content without tutoring. The computer tutoring systems were divided by their granularity of the user interface interaction into answer-based, step-based, and substep-based tutoring systems. Most intelligent tutoring systems have step-based or substep-based granularities of interaction, whereas most other tutoring systems (often called CAI, CBT, or CAL systems) have answer-based user interfaces. It is widely believed as the granularity of tutoring decreases, the effectiveness increases. In particular, when compared to No tutoring, the effect sizes of answer-based tutoring systems, intelligent tutoring systems, and adult human tutors are believed to be d = 0.3, 1.0, and 2.0 respectively. This review did not confirm these beliefs. Instead, it found that the effect size of human tutoring was much lower: d = 0.79. Moreover, the effect size of intelligent tutoring systems was 0.76, so they are nearly as effective as human tutoring.

Thinking about Assessment

This paper defends certain of Andrew Davis's arguments on assessment from critique by John Gingell and Christopher Winch. It emphasises the role of personal acquaintance in assessing 'rich' understanding, criticises Antony Flew's claim that assessment is a necessary part of teaching, and rejects the argument that public assessment is necessary for purposes of accountability. It also suggests that parents' monitoring of their young children's progress could act as a yardstick, suitably modified, for what might be done in formal education. The conclusion raises problems about the assessment of moral development and about the justifiability of leaving assessment under political rather than professional control.
