艺术教育与教育艺术漫谈

艺术教育与教育艺术是两个不同的概念。艺术教育以其实施美育的特殊功能和途径,对促进人的智力因素和非智力因素的和谐发展有着非常重要的作用。教育艺术则是不同门类教学中所共有的、最能充分体现＂教育＂本质的＂艺术＂活动。当前素质教育的实施,对教育改革的深度和广度以及紧迫性都提出了新的要求,所以树立现代化的教育艺术观,研究探讨教育艺术对教育的作用和影响,具有重大的现实意义和深远的历史意义。

Negotiating identity between career and family roles: A study of international graduate students’ wives in the US

This paper is based on a long-term ethnography of an adult creative writing class situated in a major urban art gallery in the United Kingdom. It takes the claims of one group of older adults—that creative writing made them ‘feel younger’—as the starting point for exploring this connection further. It places these claims broadly within theories of learning in later life that advocate creative expression and reminiscence as important practices for educators of older adults. However, the main analysis employs anthropological theories of creativity and ageing in order to question the cultural assumptions about creativity and the period of older age informing theory and practice. The paper argues that the value of creative writing for the individuals studied lies both in the fact that it is a relational (rather than individual) process and a means of being in the present. These findings contradict traditional conceptions about creativity as future-oriented and older people as retrospective; they also raise questions about narratives of empowerment, individual agency and the importance of ‘reminiscence’ in some of the literature on older adult learning.

构建素质教育视野下高校文科考试策略体系

考试策略一方面是对考试原则的实践,另一方面又是考试模式形成的依据。素质教育下的高校文科考试策略,不仅要在最大程度上契合高校文科考试的原则精神,还要在最大程度上有助于高校人文社会学科在人文社会科学素质培养方面系列目标的实现。基于这种认识,应当构建以\"兴趣带动\"与\"项目带动\"为核心策略、以\"考学同步\"与\"适当调节\"为配套策略的高校文科考试策略体系,以达成释放文科魅力、改善教学乏力、增进学习动力、提升人文社会科学素质的目的。按照这种理解,尝试提出一种新的考试模式。

教育学视域中的创新能力

教育学在借鉴心理学关于创新能力研究的同时,必须认识到自己独特的学科视域,这样才能更好地培养学生的创新能力.在教育学视域中,创新能力概念中的新颖性指的是学生个体意义上的新颖性,创新能力培养的目标应当是多维度的,同时学生的创新能力还应符合道德性的要求.     

Exploring student midwives creative expression of the meaning of birth

This paper presents a study which explored creative pieces made by student midwives during an educational session on spirituality in relation to midwifery.

Background

Exploration of methods of teaching relating to midwifery has been limited, specifically relating to effective learning about spirituality. There is a current expectation in the UK that student midwives will be able to meet spiritual needs as part of a holistic approach to care. However, there has been limited exploration in the literature of ways to facilitate this learning. Creative art has been suggested to be a way of exploring personal spirituality; therefore we have introduced this option in an attempt to enable exploration of the concepts of spirituality.

Method

A group of 16 midwifery students in their second year were initially present in the session. Retrospective exploration of five creative pieces the students made showing their personal meaning of birth was carried out using a framework devised from visual methodology in addition with a questionnaire.

Findings

The experience of creating birth art and the teaching session as a whole was viewed as valuable in raising issues of spirituality and meaning in relation to birth. The creative pieces explored demonstrated students views of the principles of new life, the universality of birth, connection to the world outside the family, and the inclusion of love in the process.

Conclusion

The students’ artistic creations in this study illustrated their beliefs and values about birth at that moment in time. Their creations demonstrated their views of birth being symbolic of new life and growth; that it has a universal effect, not only the family, but outwardly on the social community and beyond; and that it is linked with the value of love. We interpret this to be relating to the elements of spirituality within birth. We suggest that approaching the meaning of birth through creativity and the concepts of spirituality may be a valuable component of creating holistic midwives and will need to be explored by further research.

What motivates higher education educators to innovate? Exploring competence,autonomy, and relatedness – and connections with wellbeing

ABSTRACT

Background: High quality tertiary teaching is important for maximising the impact of tertiary education for students, employers and society, as well as for institutional reputation and accountability. Varied interpretations exist regarding what counts as ‘innovative’ tertiary teaching.

Purpose: This study sought to explore the deeper drivers of motivations of tertiary educators to initiate and implement teaching innovations.

Method: Drawing from the data from semi-structured interviews from a wider study into innovative teaching in a tertiary education institution in Aotearoa New Zealand, we analysed the rationale of 13 expert tertiary educators for teaching in novel ways. The framework for analysis was based on Self-Determination Theory: data were analysed in relation to three basic psychological needs known to impact on motivation and wellbeing – competence, autonomy and relatedness.

Findings: Our analysis suggests that tertiary educator motivation to innovate in their teaching is related to feelings of all three needs. Findings suggest that innovative pedagogical change was linked to educators’ need for feelings of competence in relation to subject area content, pedagogy and developing student competence. Enhancing autonomy for the educators themselves, or for their students, was also an important factor motivating innovative practice. Developing relatedness between students, between themselves and students, and between students and society were reported as motivations for innovative teaching. Some teaching innovations were motivated by the educator’s desire for greater personal or student wellbeing.

Conclusions Educators’ motivations for being innovative in their tertiary pedagogical practice encompassed content, pedagogical, personal and social dimensions. None reported that their innovation was motivated by institutional policy or expectations. The reported challenges to innovative teaching practice, including institutional structures and processes, lack of access to specific technologies, and the time needed to develop and implement changed practice, indicate that educators must be strongly committed to making change in their practice to sustain the effort required.
