Qualifying resistance: Some comments on methodological dilemmas

This essay raises questions about the category of "resistance" in educational research and the methodological dilemmas posed by its interpretation. It suggests that psychoanalytic theory provides a way of thinking about resistance that might be helpful for thinking about the gap between the narration of experience and the interpretation of experience. The essay provides a brief overview of conceptualizations of resistance in educational research, discusses the notion of the psychoanalytic dialogue and the qualities of resistance it offers, and brings a psychoanalytic understanding of resistance to bear on a research story that, at first glance, does not appear to qualify as a story of resistance. Finally, the essay explores the implications of these interpretive strategies for critical education research.     

习题教学刍议

1　且慢批评在习题讲评时 ,老师一不小心会冒出几句话 ;①这么简单的题目都不会做 ?!②这个题目不是讲过好几遍了吗 ?③看你又做错了 !其潜台词是“你真笨”。这些话往往会伤害学生的自尊心 ,影响学生的学习积极性 ,甚至恶化师生关系。有一位青年教师 ,曾经给我谈起一件事 :他在高中读书时 ,有一次板演完了 ,任课的化学老师在黑板上给他的评语是 :一个几乎充满整个黑板的圆圈 ,以示零分。这深深地刺痛了学生的心。从此 ,他怨恨这位老师 ,并且“恨屋及乌” ,也讨厌化学。可见 ,批评不当 ,后果严重。说简单 ,其实不简单。那些题 ,教师不知看过…     

关于加强高校宿舍文化建设的思考

宿舍是高校组织管理中最小的子系统,是大学生学习、生活、休息、娱乐、交流的一个重要的多功能场所。宿舍文化建设对大学生的思想观念、价值取向和行为方式等方面发生着持久而深远的影响。加强高校宿舍文化建设,必须树立人本德育理念,研究大学生的需要,并加强校园文化建设,发挥宿舍环境的功能。     

韩愈服硫磺辩

韩愈服用硫磺受了唐代社会风气的启发，但他的动机不是追求房帷之乐，而是疗病强身以求延嗣。结合当时医学书籍的相关记载和韩愈诗文中所透露的信息，就可看出这一点。这个动机主要源于他的家庭生活经历和几位好友的不幸遭遇。

中学思想政治课效果评价初探

思想政治课是对中学生系统进行思想品德教育和马克思主义常识教育的必修课程,是中学德育工作的主要途径.它对帮助学生确立正确的政治方向,树立科学的世界观、人生观、价值观,形成良好的道德品质起着重要向导作用.正是由于其突出的地位和作用,如何上好思想政治课,如何充分发挥评价的促进功能,使评价过程成为促进教学发展与提高的过程,值得每一位同仁思考.我通过近年来的探索实践,形成了一些观点,望各位行家里手指正.     

Classroom control: Some cybernetic comments on the possible and the impossible

The application of basic cybernetic laws and information processing principles to the classroom situation suggests that traditional and modern teaching methods, regarded as control systems, are equivalent in terms of efficiency. As control structures, they embody different principles and are not decomposable. Examination of these principles reveals that the two methods are radically incompatible, in the sense that techniques developed in the one cannot be transferred to the other without dislocation of the system as a whole. Attempts to modernize the traditional method, or to formalize the modern method are ill-conceived. Such mixed methods violate basic laws of information and control, and cannot work. It is suggested that many of the problems underlying the Great Education Debate are a consequence of the impossible state of affairs created by the widespread introduction of mixed methods.     

Using machine learning to classify reviewer comments in research article drafts to enable students to focus on global revision

Reviewer comments in research articles such as journal papers or dissertations guide students during the revision process to improve the quality of their articles. Our goal is to make the comments more meaningful to the students’ revision process. Revision involves implicit cognitive processes and ICT has the potential to make such processes explicit. Previous research into the cognitive processes involved in revision has shown that novices focus on local, sentence level revision while expert writers focus on global revision of ideas or restructuring of arguments. For better quality writing, students should focus more on global revision. The reviewer comments can either trigger more meaningful global revision (content-related comments) or local revision (non content-related comments). In this paper, a machine learning algorithm was applied to classify the comments in academic drafts in our laboratory as either content-related or not. Reviewer comments in academic article drafts are usually short. Therefore, this research applied a Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm for the classification, which is one of the most common machine learning algorithms for short texts. Performance evaluation was based on the measures of accuracy, precision and recall for the non content-related comments. Using cross validation, highest scores of 86%, 89% and 89% were achieved for accuracy, recall, and precision, respectively. The results demonstrate the success of the automatic classification, which can be applied to filter out non content-related comments so that the students focus first on revising the content-related comments. In this way, the students can increase their awareness of the importance of global revision.
