高师课堂呼唤探究性教学

新课程改革实施的关键是教师。教师教育改革必然要进行教学方式的改革。高师院校实施探究性教学是新课程改革的客观需要，是大学生发展的主观需要，是高师院校自身发展的需要。教师应转变观念，结合高师教学实践，积极实施探究性教学。     

INNOVATIONS IN TEACHING COMPUTER LITERACY: A CLASSROOM RESEARCH PROJECT

In Fall 1989, the author revamped his coursse syllabus for Computer Literacy by introducing individualized learning contracts, along with journal writing and journal sharing. This self‐study summarizes the author's experiences with that new syllabus, examines student outcomes in terms of student satisfaction and student success rates, and compares these results with those obtained by the same instructor in the same course the previous year. The results suggest that students are more satisfied with the new format and that some student subgroups, especially females and blacks, were more successful.     

论高等学校对司法审查的回应

近年来,高等学校常祓推上行政诉讼的被告席,从而引起人们对高等学校的法律地位的反思。法律赋予高等学校的权利,实际上具有行政权力性质,对学生的权利有着巨大的影响,应当接受司法审查。但高等学校乃是特殊的社会组织,司法审查的介入范围也应该是有限制的。高等学校作为对社会承担特殊责任的社会组织,对行政法治在高等学校的深入贯彻则应作出积极的回应。一方面,高等学校应成为行政法治原则的实践和示范;另一方面,高等学校应成为实践正当程序原则的先行。     

MAKING CONNECTIONS: FROM THE COLLEGE CLASSROOM TO THE EARLY CHILDHOOD SETTING

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge of early childhood teacher candidates within the state of Texas about the inclusion of students with disabilities in the general education classroom. The “Inventory of Opinions About Persons with Disabilities” (IOPD) was utilized to collect self‐report data from preservice educators in their last semester of practical experience (i.e., student teaching or final intern semester) in 10 Texas universities. The return rate of the inventories was 70.85%, with data from 172 useable inventories reported in this study.

The research questions indicated early childhood teacher candidates held positive self‐perceptions (mean = 2.0388) about their beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge related to inclusion and students with disabilities. However, the participants reported less positive attitudes about training (mean = .09884).

CLASSROOM GROUPING AND INTEGRATION

African American students and former students from a predominantly white institution (PWI) were interviewed to understand their perceptions regarding the impact of their families on their academic achievement and persistence. The characteristics of families that students perceived to support and hinder their academic success at college are described along with implications for improving African American college student retention theory and practice.     

MICROTEACHING AND CLASSROOM PERFORMANCE

Many claims have been made for the effectiveness of microteaching programmes but, although there is evidence that they can be successful in ‘teaching laboratories’, the use of criteria relating to classroom performance gives results which cast doubts on some of the assertions which have been made. Behavioural approaches are being called into question to an increasing extent, and there seems to be a growing belief that a ‘cognitive perspective’ might make an important contribution to an underlying rationale. But, whatever theoretical base is chosen, the validity of the microteaching programme and its transfer‐value to the classroom remain important, but relatively unstudied, areas of research     

INTEGRATING RESEARCH PROJECTS INTO FIELD WORK EXPERIENCES: ENHANCED TRAINING FOR UNDERGRADUATE GERIATRIC SOCIAL WORK STUDENTS

The aging of the U.S. population is creating a growing need for well-trained social workers to serve aging clients and their families. The needs of these clients are often multidimensional, requiring practitioners who are well trained in understanding and applying complex theory, research findings, and practice approaches. Unfortunately, several factors impede best case scenarios in geriatric social work education. These include limited opportunities to study or specialize in aging, a smaller than optimal proportion of social work students seeking such training, and students' frequent fearfulness of research courses and their first practicum field experience. This paper suggests that we can more effectively train social work practitioners (as well as researchers and administrators) by modifying the common practice of teaching research and practice in distinct and separate courses. Specifically, we advocate the addition of an applied research component to the field work portion of students' training. The systematic approach to problem study and explanation, which is the cornerstone of research training, should also be applied to real world practice complexities that students encounter during their field work training and practitioners face in their careers.     

THE ECOLOGY OF CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT

Research on classroom assessment has tended to focus on standardized tests and has paid minimal attention to teacher-developed assessments. As a result, we have a narrow understanding of the classroom assessment environment. This study was designed to broaden that understanding by exploring the nature and quality of teacher-developed assessment. Teachers from a range of grades, subjects, and school districts described their patterns of test use, concerns about assessment, and use of performance assessment by completing an extensive questionnaire. When responses are summarized across teachers, the results suggest that the foundation and structure of classroom assessment consists primarily of teacher-developed assessments, with performance assessment serving as one of the key assessment tools. Teachers are concerned about assessment and know that improvement may be needed, but they will need help to bring about necessary changes. Action plans are suggested for enhancing the quality of teacher-developed tests.

CCTV RECORDING IN THE CLASSROOM

Much of the television work in institutions involved in teacher training is concerned with recording observation material in schools. This article outlines the various conventional methods available for recording classroom situations, discusses the problems involved and describes a portable two‐camera unit developed at Madeley College of Education specifically for classroom recording
