手机对师范院校学生课堂学习影响的实证研究

文章以陇南师范高等专科学校为例,采用问卷调查法和访谈法,发现师范生在课堂教学中使用手机频率高,时间较长、全校公选课是学生使用手机的主阵地;学生使用手机的原因是自律能力差,教师课堂管理不严格,课程评价过于单一等原因;针对这些问题从教师和学校两个方面提出相应的解决对策和建议。

论思想之学

作者主张这样的学习路线学思想,用思想去学,学出自己的思想来.学思想,就是要以追求思想为学问的崇高境界和最有价值的内容,以思想之学统领知识之学、经验之学、能力之学、技艺之学;用思想去学,就是尽可能把学到的思想运用到新一轮学习中去,开展深入的、经常性的独立思考,用这些思想去评判所学,反思所学,融会所学,保持"有准备的头脑";学出自己的思想来,就是形成和产生惟我所有的立场、观点和方法,让自己的头脑不断生成新颖独特的思路、观念和想法,为这个世界贡献有价值的思想产品.     

Aesthetic Learning About,In, With and Through the Arts: A Curriculum Study

Aesthetic learning is a major issue in arts education. The ‘method of art’ is often expected to facilitate in‐depth learning not only in the arts but across the curriculum. This article defines aesthetic learning in terms of a conceptual framework based on two dimensions, one representing the goal and the other the means of aesthetic learning. The goal is described as convergent or divergent. Convergent learning is goal‐directed, focused and rational, while divergent learning is explorative, open‐ended and intuitive. The means are described as medium‐specific or medium‐neutral. Medium‐specific learning emphasises the forms of representation, for example words, pictures, algebra, dance. Medium‐neutral learning emphasises instrumental aspects of learning, such as academic achievement or personal development. Combining these dimensions two‐by‐two, the author arrives at a suggested definition of what is meant by learning about, learning in, learning with and learning through the arts. The rest of the article investigates the potential utility of this framework in various contexts and for different purposes. First, the author presents two temporary ‘Culture‐in‐School’ projects. Secondly, the framework is used to study aesthetic learning processes in sloyd (art & craft), based on student teachers’ portfolios in metalwork. Thirdly, the four modes of learning are compared to equivalent modes of teaching: the instructor, the facilitator, the advisor and the educator. Fourthly, there is a discussion on the role of aesthetics in a ‘balanced’ curriculum. Finally, there is an argument on the need for a variety of assessment tools based on the four modes of learning and teaching, such as copying, portfolios, projects and the repertory grid technique.     

无缝学习--数字时代学习的新常态

随着无线网络、便携终端在教育中日益广泛的应用,“无缝学习”成为新兴的研究热点。近年来出现的一系列教学创新,从视频微课、翻转课堂到MOOC(大众公播课,国内简称“慕课”),都在强化无缝学习的发展趋向,使其成为数字时代学习的新常态。本文在考察无缝学习发展起源的基础上,提炼出无缝学习的三维特征,无缝学习系统的构成要素,最后分析了实施无缝学习带来的新挑战。     

Learning About Therapy Theories

ABSTRACT

A scale of therapist theoretical orientation, the Theoretical Evaluation Self Test (TEST), was tested as a tool for increasing content knowledge about psychotherapy theories, and as a means to stimulate reflective learning. MSW students displayed statistically significant gains in content knowledge after completing the scale and related self-scoring materials, as measured by a pre- and posttest design. Both MSW students and practitioners rated TEST as an effective educational experience. The most frequent qualitative response was that TEST increased insight and understanding of theoretical preferences. Applications of TEST as an educational tool for graduate students and practicing clinicians are discussed.     

Learning More About Learning Improves Teacher Effectiveness

The present study examines the possibility that teacher knowledge about learning may have an impact on the effectiveness of a school. Thirty-two secondary qualified teachers engaged in a professional development program that provided a framework for reflective study of the learning process, analysis of key aspects of learning in their classes, and identification of the implications for teaching. Changes in teacher effectiveness were monitored in several ways: (1) changes in the display of effective teacher behaviours consistent with a social-constructivist model of learning, (2) changes in perceived ability to facilitate learning in classes, and (3) changes in student performance. The findings support the prediction that involvement in a systematic exploration of the learning process, with teachers explicating their knowledge of learning, has an direct impact, on the display of effective teaching behaviours and on teachers' personal explicit theory of learning.     

探究学习的内涵辨析

探究学习是指学生在教师指导下，为获得科学素养以类似科学探究的方式所开展的学习活动。它既是一种学习观念，又是一种具体学习模式。探究学习在提法上比探究式学习与探究性学习更为恰当，它同问题解决学习、发现学习、研究性学习既有区别又有联系。     

Identification of Learning Processes by Means of Computer Graphics

Using the example of an undergraduate unit of study that is taught both on-campus and externally, but uses Internet-based learning in both cases, we explore how social media might be used effectively in higher education. We place into question the assumption that such technologies necessarily engage students in constructivist learning; we argue that the affordances of social media must be complemented by social affordances, designed into the learning experience, which thereby generate the necessary connection between students’ motivations to study and their motivations to exploit social media. We demonstrate, via the example given, how assessment structures and strategies are the most effective focus when attempting to create the pedagogical affordances that might lead to collaborative learning.
