Conceptualizing Stress and Coping Strategies of Korean Social Work Students in the United States: A Concept Mapping Application

The number of Asian international students pursuing graduate degrees in social work in the U.S. has increased dramatically in recent years, especially among Koreans. Despite the growth and the need for culturally competent practices in higher education, no research has been devoted to the adjustment problems of this population. This study is the first of its kind in exploring stress and coping strategies of Korean international students in graduate social work education. Concept mapping revealed five major clusters of stressors: academic problems, financial difficulties, cultural barriers, psychological problems, and family concerns. Five major coping strategies emerged as well: psychological coping, physical coping, problem solving, social support, and entertainment. Social work schools and departments should demonstrate cultural competence with this population by providing support services to help these students cope successfully with their new environment.     

试论课堂教学环境的内涵、结构及建设策略

课堂教学环境就是学校教学活动中所必须的诸客观条件和力量的综合。课堂教学环境主要包括课堂物理环境和课堂心理环境两层结构,二者相互影响、相互促进。课堂教学环境建设的主体是教师和学生,在教学过程中,师生共同追求各种课堂教学环境因素的动态平衡,进而形成课堂教学环境二层结构的良性循环。     

学习效能感在高中生班级环境与 学习动机间的中介效应

为考察高中生学习效能感在班级环境与学习动机间的中介效应,采用学习动机、学 习效能感和班级环境问卷调查403名高中生.结果表明:(1)女生威信动机高于男生;男生 学习效能感高于女生;师生关系一年级好于二年级,女生好于男生;(2)学习动机与师生关 系、竞争、基本能力感和控制感正相关;基本能力感与秩序纪律负相关,与同学关系和控制 感正相关;控制感除学习压力外,与班级环境其他维度正相关.(3)基本能力感在秩序纪律 和学习动机间具有中介作用,控制感在竞争和学习动机间具有中介效应.高中生学习动机 的激发与维持的关键是提高学生的学习效能感,适当的竞争环境与相对民主、自由的班级 氛围有利于学生学习效能感的提高.     

Changing the Learning Environment to Enhance Explaining and Understanding in a Year 12 Chemistry Classroom

Internationally there is concern in relation to the traditional learning environments evident in many science classrooms and the levels of understanding of science developed by students in such environments. Further, students have generally been found to be poor in relation to thinking in terms of models or theories and in terms of evidence to support their theories. The majority of research on classroom environments has focused on characterising the learning environment in classrooms rather than monitoring changes to a class's or an individual's perceptions to their learning environments as a consequence of interventions. This study reports an attempt to change the learning environment in a classroom and documents changes in participants' perceptions of their learning environments and the corresponding changes in a teacher's and her students' perceptions of their reasoning and understanding that such changes facilitated. A community of learners in which students and teachers began to understand the processes and the value of reasoning in terms of theories and evidence was developed as a result of the involvement of the researchers with the teacher and her class of students. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

网络环境下自主学习模型的构建——兼论Web3.0的理念与引领趋势

在信息社会中,网络学习的开展是推进终身学习、构建学习型社会的重要举措,网络学习绩效水平取决于个性化学习水平的培养和引导。通过介绍与自主学习和网络学习环境的相关概念和分类,分析了网络自主学习环境内涵、特点以及作用。从Web的发展历程以及自主学习过程中的教学支架类型的角度,提出了三种网络学习模式———基于Web 1.0、Web 2.0环境的自主学习模式和基于Web 3.0环境的个性化学习模式,并对三种模式构建的过程进行了探讨。     

基于OBE理念的我国能源环境类法学硕士培养模式研究

论现代远程教育环境下成人网络自主学习的内涵与特征

现代远程教育环境下成人网络自主学习质量与效率的提高离不开对成人网络自主学习内涵与特征的准确把握。笔者认为现代远程教育环境下成人网络自主学习应该从学习的维度与过程两个方面去理解。成人网络自主学习的特征应该包括技术性、分离性、交互性、社会性、自主性与探索性。因此,现代远程教育实施机构要加大自主学习的支助力度。现代远程教育教师要加强对成人的学习指导,成人要有计划、有目的地对学习过程的各个阶段进行主动建构,从而使网络自主学习更加有效,这在一定程度上也有助于现代远程教育事业的可持续发展。     

互联网环境下中医院校学生自主学习模式探索

文章首先对自主学习进行概述;然后分四个方面介绍了互联网环境下中医院校学生自主学习现状不佳的原因:学生自主学习意识不强、学生学习知识的结构和途径单一、过于夸大自主性、专业指导不到位;接着分三个方面阐述了互联网环境下中医院校学生自主学习模式的探索与实践:课前五分钟小讲堂、双周分享、小组学习测试;最后对全文进行总结,希望能够对互联网环境下中医院校学生自主学习模式给予可行性建议。
