课堂重构:从“知识课堂”到“生命课堂”

从课堂的模式来看,传统的课堂模式是一种“知识课堂”,它是知识为本或知识至上的课堂;新课程倡导的课堂模式是一种“生命课堂”,它是以人的发展为本的课堂。新课程的实施最终要在课堂教学中落实,因此,对于广大中小学教师而言,认识和分析两种课堂的特点,完成从“知识课堂”向“生命课堂”的转变,无疑有着十分重要的现实意义。     

课堂应答系统在大学课堂教学中的应用

Active classroom participation in a Group Scribbles primary science classroom

A key stimulus of learning efficacy for students in the classroom is active participation and engagement in the learning process. This study examines the nature of teacher–student and student–student discourse when leveraged by an interactive technology—Group Scribbles (GS) in a Primary 5 Science classroom in Singapore which supports rapid collaborative knowledge building (RCKB). We envisaged nine design principles for RCKB in the design of lessons and postulated a logic model that links and explains the effects of our design principles to the ultimate goal of learning efficacy. We presented a case study of a GS lesson which shows that GS affordances leveraged by good lesson and activity design could enable the students to have more epistemic agency. Students had opportunities to participate spontaneously in class discussions by fully expressing their ideas without inhibition. The technology effect is used to support instant formative feedback and interactions among students effectively.

The standardised classroom

What would classrooms be like if they actually took completely to heart the advice of politicians and those outside the educational service who judge everything by results? Frank Serafini presents here a chilling analysis of the dangers here and highlights the implications of standardising education. Hopefully we will not go along this road, which, as Frank argues, presumes mistakenly that people and children can be standardised as well.

The digital classroom

Conclusion Undoubtedly, our schools must prepare students to live and work in a computer literate society. And as we build our curriculum to equip our students for the world that awaits them, Internet access becomes an increasingly important part of the student’s learning experience. It is incumbent upon administrators, teachers, and parents to introduce students to the Internet in a productive and educationally sound fashion. And to monitor their learning and behavior, because the task at hand is to prepare the future citizens of the networked world. They will not be perfect right way; they will make mistakes. We truly need to know when they need more guidance, and more teaching. Filtering technology, used alone or in conjunction with firewall security, provides a simplified, reliable, and cost-effective mechanism for schools to protect the quality of their students’ Internet use
