The Existential Learner

We are all smart in different ways. Through the theory of multiple intelligences, Howard Gardner has been one of the leaders in cataloging HOW people are smart as opposed to how smart they ARE. The ability to see “the big picture” and make connections between similar and dissimilar concepts has been considered for inclusion in the multiple intelligences under the name “existential.” The author outlines characteristics of existential learners, the arguments for and against the inclusion of existential as a multiple intelligence, and classroom strategies that will help an existential learner succeed.     

论现代学习理论的整合

整合的研究范式是教育心理学研究的一个鲜明特色和主流趋势。作为教育心理学的传统和经典内容之一的学习理论出现了整合发展的趋势。这种趋势反映了现代学习理论为解决教育实际问题、自身发展完善的历史必然性。这种整合发展主要表现在行为—认知—情意的整合、个体—情境的整合、外部驱动—主观能动的整合等方面。     

教育社会心理学研究对象的特殊性及转向

教育社会心理学从20世纪70年代产生至今还缺乏严密的学科体系。学科体系的形成需要一个独特的研究对象、合理的逻辑起点。教育社会心理学的逻辑起点是“互动”的社会行为,研究对象不是在教育心理学中增加社会心理学的内容,也不是在教育心理学研究领域沿袭社会心理学的观点。教育社会心理学独特的研究对象应是教育心理学与社会心理学的有机结合,主要是研究在学校情境下,学生和教师在团体中进行互动的社会行为。     

Complicating ‘student behaviour’: exploring the discursive constitution of ‘learner subjectivities’

When educators consider ‘student behaviour’, they usually think about ‘problem behaviour’ such as disruption or defiance. This limited and limiting view of ‘student behaviour’ not only fails to acknowledge children as educational actors in a wider sense, but also narrowly positions educators as either in control or out of control of their classroom. Mainstream educational psychology’s responses to ‘challenging behaviour’ point educators to numerous ways to prevent its occurrence, through, for example, changing their disciplining approaches and techniques. However, much of the advice directed at improving student behaviour fails to interrogate the core notion of ‘student behaviour’ itself, as well as the conceptual baggage that it carries. The focus is squarely on eliminating ‘problem behaviour’ and often resorts to a pathologisation of students. Meanwhile, when considering ‘student behaviour’ through a Foucauldian post-structuralist optic, behaviour emerges as something highly complex – as spatialised, embodied action within/against governing discourses. In this opening up, it becomes both possible and critical to defamiliarise oneself with the categorisation of ‘challenging behaviour’ and to interrogate the discourses and subject positionings at play. In this paper, we pursue this task by asking: what happens with the notion of ‘behaviour’ if we change focus from ‘fixing problems’ to looking at the discursive constitution of ‘learner subjectivities’? What does it become possible to see, think, feel and do? In this exploration, we theorise ‘behaviour’ as learning and illustrate the constitution of ‘learner subjectivities’. Drawing on two case scenarios, we explore how children accomplish themselves as learners and how this accomplishment links the production of subjectivity and embodied action, and illustrate how ‘student/child behaviour’ appears significantly different to what mainstream educational psychology would have us see.     

浅析教育社会心理学的逻辑起点

教育社会心理学从70年代产生至今,仅有30余年的历史。作为一门学科,它还缺乏严密的学科体系。而要形成严密的学科体系,必须有一个合理的逻辑起点。教育社会心理学的逻辑起点是“互动的学习”。“互动的学习”主要指在课堂教学这一特殊社会体系的运行过程中,教师与学生通过学习内容的掌握这一主要中介进行的人际交往和相互作用过程中所产生的认知、情感、态度等多方面的变化。以“互动的学习”为基础的教育社会心理学的研究内容主要包括自我互动、师生互动、生生互动、学生与学校的互动以及学生与家庭的互动诸方面。     

师范生《教育心理学》体验式学习实践探索

“体验式学习”是指学习者在创设好的一种学习环境中通过亲身体验与反思相结合的方式获得知识、技能和态度的学习方式。传统的《教育心理学》教学多数停留在认知理解的层面,忽视学生的情感培养,课堂缺乏应有的生活意义和价值。从学习模式方面探索体验式的《教育心理学》学习是提高课堂教学质量的积极尝试。     

论高级学习素质的养成

依据马克思主义的认识观与方法论,从教育科学和学习科学理论的视角出发,论述了高级学习素质的内涵;重点讨论了高级学习素质的养成的诸要素;并从高级人才市场争夺战的角度论述了学习素质的重要性,在阐述学习科学属性的基础上,提出了“社会每个单元（包括个人）都应成为学习社会的一个学习细胞”的理念。     

Applied systemic theory and educational psychology: can the twain ever meet?

This article reflects on the potential benefits of applying systemic theory to the work of educational psychologists (EPs). It reviews developments in systemic thinking over time, and discusses the differences between more directive “first order” versus collaborative “second order” approaches. It considers systemic theories and illustrates their application in educational psychology practice through a case study. It assesses current engagement of EPs with systemic thinking, based on published literature. It hypothesises about barriers that EPs may encounter when attempting to use systemic approaches in their work, as well as possible solutions and their implications.     

教育心理学的整合与超越

整合取向的研究范式将学习与教学置于多维的动态框架中进行探讨,超越以往单维取向的局限,成为目前教育心理学领域的主流趋势。这主要从三个方面体现出来:一是心理学与教育学的实质性整合,二是认知、动机、情绪以及其他不同心理成分的整合,三是个体因素与情境因素、尤其是社会情境的整合。     

教育心理学理论指导下的小学数学课堂教学策略

新课程要求教师有更高的专业素养,教师的教育教学要以科学的理论为指导。以奥苏泊尔的有意义接受学习理论指导概念原理的讲授、以加里培林的智力技能形成阶段理论指导解题思路的掌握、通过变式练习促进学生概括能力的发展等都会提高教师课堂教学策略的科学性、有效性。     

成人英语学习优势探讨

本文根据教育心理学理论从学习年龄、学习动机、学习迁移三方面分析了成人英语学习的优势，并希望这能给学生和教师在学习和教学过程中以帮助，使他们能扬长避短，争取获得更好成效。     

Educational Psychology: What Do We Teach, What Should We Teach?

Teacher education students sometimes question the value of educational psychology courses even though educational psychology textbooks are primarily concerned with understanding and improving classroom teaching and learning. A survey of current educational psychology textbooks and instructors reveals that (a) most texts cover a wide variety of topics, (b) instructors rate most of these topics as important, (c) there are large variations in depth of coverage among texts, and (d) all texts contain numerous classroom applications. The questionable reputation of the educational psychology course may stem from its broad coverage. A dozen or more topics in one semester may decrease the probability that most students will achieve a solid grasp of any one topic, leaving students uncertain about the course's meaning and applicability. A proposed solution is to offer the introductory course as a two-semester sequence, with the second course offered as an elective.     

案例教学法的适用与实施——基于教育心理学的视角

从行为与心理的关系角度来看,案例教学法将柯拉斯沃所主张的实现教学目标的五个程序统一于教学过程,既实现了现代教育的情感认知目标,又实现了心因动作目标。按照认知发展理论,案例教学法并不适用所有层次的教学,只适用大学及其以后的学生群体;并不适用所有课程,只适应需要学生运用抽象思维分析社会实践素材的课程;并不适应所有案例,只适应对研究命题具有组合性争议的案例。在案例教学法实施过程中,教师应当不断激励学生进行思想辩驳,营造活跃的课堂氛围,推动"皮格马利翁效应"的产生,注意处理好案例教学法和其他教学法的关系,使学生学习产生正迁移效果。     

A Self-Regulated Learning Approach to Teaching Educational Psychology

In this paper, we describe an undergraduate educational psychology course that utilizes self-regulated learning as the organizing principle. The course aims to facilitate students' development in self-regulated learning and to promote students' understanding of how to embed instruction for self-regulated learning strategies into classroom teaching. In the first section of the paper, we develop the rationale for this position and identify underlying assumptions we believe should guide the development and implementation of such a program. In the second section of the paper, we demonstrate how we have incorporated these assumptions in a basic educational psychology course.     

积极心理学——一个丰富教育社会心理学的新视角

教育社会心理学产生于20世纪30年代的美国,是一门教育心理学与社会心理学之间的边缘学科,怎样对这一新兴学科进行理论构架,使其在与母学科保持紧密联系的同时凸显自身的理论和研究特色,在学者中引起了新一轮的讨论。本文将尝试探讨,如何将同样关注个体综合潜质开发与培养的积极心理学,与教育社会心理学的主要研究课题进行融合。     

Reflections of an Aging Educational Psychologist

It is suggested that the graduate training program in educational psychology fits well into an all inclusive psychology department. I go on to submit that the label of the graduate psychology degree is less important than some would lead us to believe. In addition, I propose two types of undergraduate educational psychology courses: one in the college of arts and sciences designed to make students better educational consumers and another in the college of education designed to provide prospective teachers an in-depth understanding and appreciation of the field. This latter course would benefit from a laboratory component. Finally, I list two research problems deserving attention: (a) How do educators foster life-long learning, and (b) how does one develop an accurate self concept?     

进化教育心理学理论对教育的积极意义

进化教育心理学是探讨人类学习和教育的新的理论视角,其核心观点是有效干预教学以保证学生获得生物次级能力,适应现代社会的生活。进化教育心理学在学生认知发展和学习动机方面提出了与建构主义理论不同的观点,不仅为进一步理解学习与教学提供了新的视角,也为解决一些令人困惑的教育问题提供了可行的理论框架。
