"全球教育"课程模式探析——基于厦门大学范怡红教授"全球教育"课程改革实践

全球化趋势发展的背景下,创新教育、通识教育的实质就是要培养具有国际视野的新世纪人才.通过全球教育课堂针对性地提高学生多元思维能力、创新能力以及解决问题的能力.本文通过介绍厦门大学教育研究院范怡红教授"全球化与国际教育"课程改革来论证如何通过课程实践来帮助学生树立全球化意识、开拓视野、提高学生动手能力和解决问题的能力从而将学生培养成为准国际公民.     

"品行弱势学生"的教育策略

对于头脑聪明、学习成绩好,但品德、习惯、心理素质等方面表现不好的学生的教育应加强.主要通过用长处克服短处,激发孩子进取的欲望;树立榜样,用榜样的力量影响学生;培养孩子的责任意识,用"责任"约束不良的行为;教育社会化,使孩子在和谐的氛围中成长等途径来达到教育目的.     

艺文并举·灵动教育——小学艺文并举与身心和谐的"灵动教育"理论与实践初探

艺文并举、身心和谐的"灵动教育",是对当前小学教育实践与理论研究基础上,提出的一种新的思想和模式。所谓"灵动教育",即通过学习与活动,激发、挖掘、培养学生灵性与智慧的教育活动,渗透在孩子成长与发展阶段中,根植于课堂教学系列化设计中,具有"灵活、民主、创新、智慧"四大要素。所谓艺文并举,即在进一步改革与发展当前小学"文化教     

关于"教育市场"、"培训市场"之我见

本文对目前教育界的重大问题进行了探讨,从理论和实践两方面否定了"教育市场"、"培训市场"、"教育产业化"等观点的合理合法性.教育是培养人的崇高的社会公益活动,不具有市场那样以成本盈利为法则的交易属性.教育和培训的基本功能就是通过培养人来实现其政治、经济和文化等社会功能,不能将市场的概念搬到教育领域中,否则教育便失去了本质属性和独立存在的价值."教育市场"、"培训市场"、"教育产业化、市场化"等提法,片面扩大了教育的经济功能,是对教育的本质属性、基本功能以及育人功能和社会功能相互关系的曲解.     

教师教育新模式:"教育创新实验区"

(<国家中长期教育改革和发展规划纲要>,明确提出要着力提高学生的学习能力、实践能力、创新能力.并指出,提高三种能力的根本途径是坚持教育教学与生产劳动和社会实践相结合.山西师范大学近年来正是围绕这三种能力,不断推进教育教学改革,提高人才培养质量的.我们秉承创新教育和实践教育的办学理念,以创新型人才培养为中心,全方位推进教师教育改革,突出强化学生实践能力培养,尤其通过"教育创新实验区"的探索,在强化学生的三种能力方面取得了显著成效.     

玛莎·纳斯鲍姆的“世界公民”教育思想探究

玛莎·纳斯鲍姆认为,教育的目标是培养"世界公民","世界公民"是具有世界意识、具备独立的思维能力并进行公民实践的人,"世界公民"需要通过人文学科、多元文化课程来培养。玛莎.纳斯鲍姆的"世界公民"教育思想对公民教育实践以及公民教育思想的发展都产生了重要影响。     

"拇指教育"和"食指教育"

"拇指教育"比"食指教育"更有助于推动我们的教育进程,符合教育规律,促进我们教育观念的转变,它可以给孩子一个激励、快乐、积极进取的成长环境,为孩子提供挖掘潜力、开拓思维的有力保障.     

中小学体育"新课改"对高校体育教育专业教学方式转变的影响

通过对中小学体育新课程改革核心理念的认识,以及它对体育教育专业教学方式转变的影响研究,在一定程度上对现行有关体育教育专业教学方式进行改革和修正,重新确立体育教育专业教师在教学中的角色定位,通过改进教学行为与方式,重构新的学习方式与评价体系.通过研究,构建新的教学理论体系,为体育教育专业教学改革实践,为培养适合中小学体育"新课改"的新型体育师资提供一定的理论指导.     

教师教育实践性课程的反思

我国教师教育课程突出问题是理论与实践割裂。流于形式的‘实践取向’教师教育课程不能将实践与理论联系起来。整合的教师教育课程强调教师的理论知识和实践性知识要在互动过程中,通过主题、问题来组织课程内容、创建"探究式"教学模式、"行动研究"教师培养模式等来实现。

A Quantitative Study of Head Start Children’s Strengths,Families’ Perspectives,and Teachers’ Ratings in the Transition to Kindergarten

This study examined the association between preschool children’s social-interpersonal skills and their transition to school in the beginning months of kindergarten. One hundred and thirty-three preschool children participated in this study. During the spring of the pre-kindergarten year, children’s social-interpersonal skills were assessed as well as rated by teachers. In the follow-up year, parents/guardians and teachers reported on children’s adjustment to kindergarten. The results of this study found no association between parents’/guardians’ and teachers’ reports of children’s adjustment and readiness in kindergarten. Children’s social-interpersonal skills were negatively associated with teachers’ reports of children’s kindergarten readiness difficulties. The findings of this study indicate that children’s early social skills, developed prior to entering kindergarten, are important for children’s readiness for school.     

Indian = Hindu? The Development of Nationalist Attitudes Among Hindu and Muslim Children in India

Many political movements across the world today define citizenship in exclusionary ethnic or religious terms. This study extends research on ethnic–national associations in adults to children, adding to the relatively sparse literature on the development of national associations in children and in nonwestern contexts. Explicit and implicit religious–national associations were examined in a sample of 160 nine- to sixteen-year-olds (79 Hindu; 81 Muslim) in Gujarat, India. Results suggest that while Hindu children show a strong Indian = Hindu association by age 9, Muslim children appear to be buffered from this association. Furthermore, this association uniquely predicts variance in children’s attitudes about social policy and their concept of nationality, above and beyond their age, religion, and intergroup attitudes.     

Teachers’ Emotional and Behavioral Support and Preschoolers’ Self-Regulation: Relations With Social and Emotional Skills During Play

Research Findings: Drawing from a Dutch sample of 113 Dutch children (M age = 37 months, SD = 3.5) from 37 early care and education classrooms (19 child care centers and 18 preschools), this study examined whether the relation between classroom emotional and behavioral support and children’s observed social integration and positive mood in a play situation depends on children’s observed behavioral self-regulation. Multilevel analyses revealed a positive association between emotional and behavioral support and children’s social integration for children low on behavioral self-regulation, but there was no such association for children high on behavioral self-regulation. Contrary to our expectations, children low on behavioral self-regulation showed more integration in the case of relatively highly supportive classrooms but not less integration in classrooms that were low in support. For children’s positive mood, a positive association with emotional and behavioral support was found, and no association was found with behavioral self-regulation. Practice or Policy: This study’s findings highlight the importance of emotionally and behaviorally supportive classroom experiences for young children’s social and emotional skills. Moreover, results hint that experts should perhaps not see children low in behavioral self-regulation as always at risk for poorer social outcomes.     

Linkages between delayed children's social interactions with mothers and peers

The social dimensions of family-peer linkages of 4- to 6-year-old children (N=63) with developmental delays (IQ range, 50-80) were examined in this study. Hierarchical regressions revealed consistent and meaningful patterns of association relating children's influence attempts directed toward their mothers and their interactions with peers. A similar association with peer interactions was found for children's ability to obtain compliance from their mothers. Evidence suggested the existence of a core behavioral pattern that children exhibit with different partners and in different contexts. The role of horizontal forms of parent-child interactions in promoting the peer relationships of children with delays was suggested, particularly in terms of an intervention approach for this group of children.     

The motor and cognitive development of overweight preschool children

The aim of this study was to investigate the development of overweight compared with healthy-weight children attending kindergartens in Munich, Germany. Mean age of the children at the beginning of the study was 53.2 months (SD?=?7.5); the duration of the study was 20 months. At the beginning of the study children were classified as overweight (n?=?32) or healthy weight (n?=?318) using BMI scores. Dependent variables were aspects of physical growth, physical fitness, body coordination, manual dexterity, and cognitive performance. A higher rate of socially disadvantaged children was overweight compared with socially advantaged children. There was no association between weight and sex. Motor skills improved over trials. Socially disadvantaged and overweight children performed less well in gross motor skills compared with children from backgrounds of higher socioeconomic (SE) status or healthy-weight children. There was also an association between weight and socioeconomic status: overweight children of lower SE status performed less well compared with overweight children of upper SE status in all gross motor tasks. No connection could be found between weight and manual dexterity and cognitive performance.     

The relationship between hostile attributional bias and aggressive behavior in preschoolers

Previously, K.A. Dodge and colleagues found an association between hostile attributional bias and aggressive behaviors among school aged children. The present study explored such an association among preschool aged children. Sixty-eight children (38 girls and 30 boys) with a mean age of 4.76 years participated in the study. Videotaped vignettes of children's social interactions were developed specifically for this age group to examine their attributional bias. Children's aggressive behaviors were assessed by teachers, using the Preschool Behavior Questionnaire. Results indicated that hostile/aggressive children were significantly more likely to possess a hostile attributional bias (p < .05) than less aggressive children. Results also indicated that preschoolers were capable of distinguishing between intentional and unintentional actions when stimulus materials used were concrete and familiar to them.

The Inclusion of Children with ASD: Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour as a Theoretical Framework to Explore Peer Attitudes

This study used the Theory of Planned Behaviour to explore the attitudes, behavioural intentions and behaviour of 318 mainstream primary school children in an urban East London borough towards peers with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Pupils were presented with a vignette about a hypothetical peer with ASD then completed self-report questionnaires and peer socio-metric measures. The results showed that children’s attitudes, the social pressure they felt from others and the amount of control they felt they had over their own behaviour, significantly predicted their behavioural intentions to befriend a peer with ASD. The strongest association was between perceived behavioural control and behavioural intentions. A significant association was also found between children’s behavioural intentions and actual behaviour towards an included peer. Support was therefore found for the use of the Theory of Planned Behaviour as a valuable tool by which to explore the social inclusion of children with ASD.     

Comprehension of humor in children with nonverbal learning disabilities,reading disabilities,and without learning disabilities

The normal development of humor in children has been well documented with a predictable course that is tied to social, cognitive, and linguistic development in children. This study explored humor comprehension in children with nonverbal learning disabilities (NVLD). Children with NVLD were compared with children with reading disabilities and a comparison group of children with no learning disabilities to assess their comprehension of humor. The humor test was composed of a joke and cartoon section. No group differences in humor comprehension were found when the NVLD group was defined as having visual–spatial and visual reasoning deficits. However, when the NVLD group was divided into children with and without social perceptual difficulties as defined by a direct measure of social comprehension, significant group differences were found in the levels of humor comprehension. These results support the association of humor comprehension with social perception and lend tentative support to the hypothesis that children with NVLD may not be a homogenous group. Future study directions include further exploration into the nature of the association between humor comprehension and social perception as well as closer examination of the heterogeneity of NVLD.     

Maternal Support of Children’s Math Learning in Associations Between Family Income and Math School Readiness

This study examined maternal support of children’s math learning at 36 months (n = 140) as a mediator of the association between early childhood family income and children’s counting and calculation skills at 4½ and 6–7 years. Family income was associated with this measure of children’s math school readiness, but the association was almost entirely indirect and mediated by observed maternal support of children’s numerical skills at 36 months. Maternal support of children’s spatial concept and general learning (cognitive stimulation and sensitivity) were not significant mediators of this association. Results suggest that income-based gaps in counting and calculation skills at school entry may be due in part to the constraints that low family income places on early numerical learning support.
