Teachers as readers: a study of the reading habits of future teachers / El docente como lector: estudio de los hábitos lectores de futuros docentes

Abstract

Previous studies about reading achievement and habits of young people in Spain have systematically ignored the reading profile of Spanish teachers as an explanatory variable. However, teachers’ reading habits might help us to better understand their attitude towards reading and, therefore, their approach to the education of new readers in their classrooms. In this work, the reading habits of future teachers in three public universities have been explored by means of a survey. The results show that these subjects are not closely involved with reading, do not read regularly, do not read a wide variety of reading texts and do not place great value on books, although they do tend to overrate their reading practices. Furthermore, they scarcely visit libraries and mainly read for instrumental reasons, not to enjoy reading for its own sake. The way in which the reading profile of the teachers could affect their students’ education regarding reading is considered and promoting better attitudes and habits towards reading is proposed as a pre-service teacher education goal.     

论早期阅读教育的几个基本理论问题--兼谈当前国际早期阅读教育的走向

本文通过概念阐述，分析了早期阅读的基本要素以及早期阅读教育的含义和发展走向。     

远程开放教育中的教材阅读策略研究和应用

在远程开放教育中，学生的教材阅读已上升到教学手段系列的主力位置，是学生自主学习的重要途径，其能力培养正是素质教育的追求目标之一；为此，特针对电大学生的教材阅读策略及其应用作了系统研究，改变了以往简单地将阅读能力归结为隐性知识的看法，通过其程序和方法的设定，已将其外显为一种可以言传、可以让广大学生学会的知识。     

A case study of reading instruction in a Philippine classroom

In this article, we describe the reading practices in a public and high-achieving 6th grade English classroom in the Philippines. By utilizing a four resources model, we discuss the different roles that students assume in this classroom. Students in this class are mainly code breakers and text users and have limited opportunities to assume the other two roles of the four resources model. This case study provides a different view of reading, specifically a view of a culture of reading wherein higher status is given to oral reading performance rather than comprehension. We describe the way a high-achieving 6th grade Philippine classroom perceives reading. Through this article, we would like to contribute to the research literature on Philippine education and increase our knowledge of reading practices as they are conceived and practised in this particular classroom.     

语文阅读教学的若干观念认识问题——“国培计划”小语骨干教师学科教育研究之二

中语教材的＂鲁迅大撤退＂与小语教材的＂课文改编＂风波,暴露出语文教育的深层次危机,应重视其发生、发展的内在动因并采取积极应对策略。针对语文学科专业阅读教育的观念认识不到位的问题,分析了语文学科教育的阅读观念两个互为表里的认识部分：专业阅读的文学阅读原则与可供操作（或个人经验模式化）的学段阅读教学经验。     

五年制高职英语泛读课教学探讨

分析了高职英语泛读教学的主要目的,是通过大量阅读掌握阅读技巧,提高阅读能力。在教学中根据学生实际水平适当选材,讲练结合,培养学生的阅读欲望,激发学生阅读兴趣,克服阅读的不良习惯和非语言性障碍,有目的地帮助学生扩大词汇量,逐步培养语篇阅读能力。     

Reading Across Mediums: Effects of Reading Digital and Print Texts on Comprehension and Calibration

This study explored differences that might exist in comprehension when students read digital and print texts. Ninety undergraduates read both digital and print versions of newspaper articles and book excerpts on topics of childhood ailments. Prior to reading texts in counterbalanced order, topic knowledge was assessed and students were asked to state medium preferences. After reading, students were asked to judge under which medium they comprehended best. Results demonstrated a clear preference for digital texts, and students typically predicted better comprehension when reading digitally. However, performance was not consistent with students' preferences and outcome predictions. While there were no differences across mediums when students identified the main idea of the text, students recalled key points linked to the main idea and other relevant information better when engaged with print. No differences in reading outcomes or calibration were found for newspaper or book excerpts.     

Reading and knowledge transfer in Ghana: the behaviour,attitudes and self-concepts of first-year students in Bachelor of Education programmes

The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it is an attempt to fill in the blanks on the unexplored map of reading behaviours, attitudes, and self-concept of teacher education students in Ghana. Secondly, it investigates whether the negative perceptions of lecturers from the University of Cape Coast (UCC) and the University of Education Winneba (UEW) about their students’ reading attitudes and behaviour correspond to the students’ self-perceptions. We investigated the reading attitudes, behaviour, and self-concept of 316 students from UCC and UEW. Outcomes showed that spending time on reading for enjoyment is not popular amongst students. A surprisingly positive attitude towards reading for school, for enjoyment and self-concept of reading amongst students was found. This is contradictory to the negative perceptions of lecturers at UCC and UEW. The correlations we found between reading behaviour, attitude and self-concept are in line with recent reading research findings.     

开展社区早期阅读活动的意义和途径

开展社区早期阅读活动,有助于提升家长指导幼儿阅读的能力,并丰富幼儿的阅读内容,帮助幼儿积累阅读经验。为推动社区开展早期阅读活动,可以成立专门的阅读机构,建立"快乐阅读网站";创设社区亲子图书馆(室),定期举办"亲子阅读日";培训社区的专业人员,为家长提供科学的早期阅读指导。     

浅谈STEAM教育中加入自主阅读的必要性

STEM教育作为国际最新教育模式之一,研究热度一直不减,逐渐演变为STEM+、STEAM教育、STEAM+教育以及STREAM教育等。其中,STEAM教育获得普遍认同,但STREAM教育存在争议,认为R的定义不甚明确。另外,有学者认为,过多元素的加入会无法突出重点。这里仅从教学评价、教学过程以及教学目标三个角度,讨论将Reading(自主阅读)作为R加入STEAM教育中的必要性。     

如何培养学生数学阅读习惯

培养学生数学阅读习惯，使学生掌握科学的数学阅读方法和技能，是学生掌握获得数学知识的金钥匙．本文就数学阅读的意义、如何培养学生阅读习惯等进行了论述。     

语文阅读教育中的三对重要范畴辨正

现代语文教育中的诸多困惑或纷争,皆因与相关重要范畴内涵的理解不到位有莫大关系。比如阅读目的是读懂、应用、应试,还是应性、表现与存在之于“占有性阅读与存在性阅读”的理解;阅读是否只需要批文入情,达致对情思的捕获或对文化意蕴的发掘就可以,还是要再返回形式,揭示形式表现的秘妙,为言语表现与存在蓄势之于“常规性阅读与语文性阅读”的理解;阅读教育要注意文类特点,训练学生的体式语感,可如果遇到文本的跨体创作现象时,是否也要死守适体阅读的原则,这又与“适体性阅读与跨体性阅读”的理解密切相关。因此,要想廓清语文教育的雾障,进一步提升语文阅读教育的品质和境界,必须对相关范畴的内涵加以仔细辨正。     

"第一任老师"角色转换的研究

在教育改革理论大讨论中，授课老师角色的转换已形成共识。而对家庭教育理论的研究还不够。目前大多数家庭教育多“溺爱教育”、“强迫教育”、“补救教育”，而缺少“赏识教育”、“养成教育”、“阅读教育”。这是教育改革深化中应加强研究的问题。     

The influence of student learning characteristics on purchase of paper book and eBook for university study and personal interest

First-year university students (n = 199) completed an online questionnaire that queried their purchase of paper books and eBooks for university study and personal interest. The questionnaire also required students to rate their learning characteristics including reading strategies, study self-regulation, learning control beliefs and achievement motivation. Self-reported student learning characteristic scores were associated with self-reported book purchases. For example, as student extrinsic motivation scores increased, number of paper books purchased for university study tended to increase. As student learning control belief scores increased, purchase of eBooks for university study tended to increase. Collectively, such results lend support to the conclusion that education students who embrace emerging technologies such as eBooks and who read for leisure perceive themselves as more able learners than students who do not embrace emerging technologies such as eBooks and who do not read for leisure.     

幼儿教师开展早期阅读活动前的准备

为保证早期阅读教育教学活动的效果与质量,教师应在活动开展前抓住三个重要环节:选择或改编适合幼儿阅读与欣赏的读本;认真准确深入地解读绘本;做好幼儿阅读活动前的经验准备。为此,教师必须认真考虑幼儿的年龄特征与审美需要,必须准确把握图画书的形式与内容要素,必须善于铺垫和引导幼儿想像,促进幼儿在早期阅读教育中的全面健康和谐发展。     

生命教育视野下的幼儿图画书阅读

图画书不是插图书,不是认字书,也不是语言教科书。图画书运用"图"和"文"两种媒介,为幼儿创造了独特的阅读世界。从生命教育的角度看,阅读图画书就是幼儿与图画书、与同伴、与老师展开对话,共同建构多元化意义,从而引领幼儿享受图画书所创造的感性世界、故事世界、幻想世界的乐趣的过程。让图画书走进幼儿的日常生活,需要以合作共享为轴心建立生态阅读圈,以经验整合为轴心建立阅读系统。如此,逐步使阅读成为幼儿的生活方式,图画书才能真正以润物细无声的方式惠泽幼儿的生命。     

对大学教育的现代思考:两本相关著述的阅读札记

美国艾伦.布鲁姆教授的《走向封闭的美国精神》与中国张汝伦教授的《大学之道和现代大学教育的缺失》两本著作,从不同的视角对各自国家的大学现状进行了透稳的分析。通过阅读分析,在借鉴的基础上,我们认为,要解决目前中国大学教育的问题,首先要特别注重教育中的人本性,充分重视哲学这一智慧之学;其次要重视通才教育;其三要重视文化本位建设。     

Fluent reading in special primary education

The learning gains in reading of students in 57 classrooms in special primary education doubled as a result of implementing the Reading Impulse in Special Education (RISE) programme. Raising the scheduled reading time with 1.5 hr in all classrooms and implementing standards-based teaching characterised by “monitoring of pupil progress”, “reflection on own teaching”, and “setting targets” are the most important explanations for the improvement in pupils’ reading achievements.     

以图书馆为主体的高职院校通识教育调查研究

通过问卷调查,我们从态度、内容、方式三个方面了解到高职学生对通识教育的认识。首先高职学生对通识教育概念较为陌生,对其理念基本认同,但担心通识教育的实施会影响其专业的学习和今后就业;其次学科背景在对通识教育内容选择上有一定影响,目前学习带有明显功利性;另外,高职学生期待通识教育的实施方式有别于目前的传统教学方式。     

职业院校阅读教育活动实效性调查分析

图书馆是职业院校学生获取知识信息的重要途径之一。学生合理利用图书馆资源并解决相关问题的能力,已成为衡量职业院校学生阅读教育实效的重要指标,因此,有必要对职业院校学生利用图书馆平台所进行的阅读活动展开相应的调查与分析,并给出对应的培养策略,以求提升职业院校学生的阅读教育活动。
