美国医学院校的伦理学教育:对教学大纲的研究

为了解美国医学院校中伦理学作为必修课的学习范围,课程目标、教学方法、教学内容、参考读物以及学生成绩评定方式,研究进行了一项调查,通过对58份医学伦理学教学大纲的重点研究,发现共有10种教学目标,平均每个院校3种;3种教学方法,平均4种;6种学生成绩评定方式,平均2种;39个方面的教学内容,平均13个。这些教学大纲共要求或推荐1191种不同的读物,其中只有8种为6所以上的院校所使用。研究表明,美国的医学伦理学教育五花八门,但“理想”的伦理学教育在实际教学中还是有所体现,几个方面的不足应引起注意。

The availability of education on death and dying: a survey of U.S. nursing schools

A stratified random sample of 226 U.S. nursing schools was surveyed to determine the extent and nature of current death education training for nursing students. Of the 205 responding schools, 5 percent reported offering a required death and dying course, while an additional 39.5 percent indicated that a death and dying course was available for their students on an elective basis. The authors challenge the current pedagogical approach toward death education in U.S. nursing schools. They propose the need for the development of a model that would formally link a death education course, or courses, with the clinical phase of training. It is hypothesized that such an approach would enhance the nursing students' recognition and management of their feelings regarding death and dying and therefore result in more effective means of relating to terminally ill patients.     

试论基础教育信息化的形态

自上世纪80年代以来,我国基础教育信息化取得了长足的发展.然而,当前基础教育信息化也面临着一些困境,究其根源,在于技术化思维占据主导地位,这在一定程度上影响着研究者的视阈.笔者认为,从教育学视角出发,教育信息化的核心是关注人在数字化世界中的生存和发展的问题,完整的教育信息化形态应包括基础性形态、结构性形态和生命性形态.     

The social ecology of U.S. law schools

Several psychologically oriented studies have used the factorial ecology paradigm to investigate the environments that colleges provide for their students. Specifically, factor analyses of the social and demographic characteristics of colleges have identified useful underlying dimensions. These studies have lacked a theoretical framework for understanding the processes that produce these environments, however, and Kasarda and Bidwell's recent effort to derive a theory of organizational structuring from human ecological principles could redress this lack. The present study applied this theoretical approach to U.S. law schools. First, the factorial ecology paradigm was applied to law schools, yielding four factors:scholarly orientation, practicality, public control, and minority emphasis. Next, law school characteristics were correlated with characteristics of the states that constitute their habitats, yielding a meaningful pattern of moderate to strong relationships. Results are interpreted as supporting both Kasarda and Bidwell's theoretical approach and social-psychological theories of environment-behavior interaction that emphasize environmental control of behavior.

Two decades of use in K-12 education

Conclusions ILSs are here to stay. School boards, administrators and other decision makers interested in what they perceive as a way of preparing their students to do well on standardized tests will continue to drive the purchases of ILSs upward each year. If ILSs are to become more effective for the rapidly growing number of students from diverse backgrounds (including many students of color) who will spend months and years using them perhaps it is time for ILS companies to consider changes in their approach to design as opposed to “just tweaking” the current design. A good starting point for changes in the approach to the design of ILSs would be to consider the importance of the awareness of cultural diversity in the design and to attempt to integrate cooperative learning into the design as well. If ILS companies seriously consider these suggestions they can create a system for the next two decades that has the potential to be more effective for the large numbers of students from diverse backgrounds who are the main users of these systems. His research interests include cooperative learning, instructional technology, and collaborative learning environments.     

The productivity of U.S. higher education: 1967–1977

The study examines changes in the productivity of U.S. colleges and universities in the provision of instruction from 1967–68 to 1976–77. Combining our data with that from June O'Neill's earlier study of the 1929–30 to 1966–67 period it is possible to observe productivity trends over a period of nearly fifty years. Our figures show declining output per unit of input from the late sixties to the late seventies, and we attribute the decline to an inability to adjust rapidly to changes in demand, the momemtum of the 1960s expansion programs, and a dramatic decline in external funding of research.     

当前美国高等教育面临的挑战
