Learning to Draw and Drawing to Learn

Young children enter formal schooling with a repertoire of modes of representation with which they try to make sense of the world – drawing, modelling, role play, storying, emergent literacy and numeracy. In drawing they use mark making for kinesthetic pleasure and later learn to repeat patterns and shapes intentionally. From these repeated marks they begin to explore the potential of drawings to represent what they know. A parallel set of drawing strategies with an explicit communicative function develop through social relationships at home or in pre-school/care settings. Children observe and mimic modes of representation and absorb the semiotics modelled by adults or older children in the community/culture[s] in which they are reared. On entering formal school, the messages children receive from the culture of classrooms is that the modes of representation that are valued are the formal symbolic modes of literacy and numeracy whereas teachers perceive drawing as useful for occupational or recreational purposes. Ironically, as children are cultured into ‘academic’ achievements, they lose out on opportunities to engage in alternative modes of representation/symbolic systems, which may offer opportunities for cognitive challenge at higher levels. Thus, whilst pushing children to perform ‘academically’ in the early stages of schooling, we underestimate them ‘intellectually’. At elementary school level children’s mark-making is shaped into a ‘catch-all’, narrative/representational style of drawing across all subjects. Children often elect to explore their own personal, culturally specific ways of drawing outside school as ‘home art’. In school their capabilities in using alternative modes of representation as tools for learning wither away.     

学以致用 以用促学

读写脱节一直是中学语文教学存在的不良现象 ,也是语文教学低效的重要原因。如何使学能致用 ,以用促学 ?本文提出了读写结合的教学模式 ,并从三个环节对这一模式进行探讨。     

高校辅导员队伍职业化、专业化、专家化建设内涵辨析与思考

职业化、专业化、专家化是当前高校辅导员队伍建设的基本方向。从辅导员队伍职业化、专业化、专家化建设内涵来看,辅导员队伍职业化是专业化、专家化的前提条件和发展方向;辅导员专业化是职业化的推动力,是辅导员向专家化目标迈进的必要和准备。辅导员专家化是专业化建设的最终目标,是职业化建设的内在要求和具体体现。推进辅导员队伍职业化、专业化、专家化建设,必须坚持纵横联动、上下联动、进出联动的工作原则。     

思维和学习领域中的元认知研究

元认知是个体对自己的认知加工过程的自我觉察、自我评价和自我调节。一系列研究表明元认知在概念形成、演绎推理、顿悟以及问题解决中都起着非常重要的作用；在学习领域所进行的一系列有关思维策略与元认知训练的对比实验，也进一步证实了进行元认知训练的可行性和必要性。在此基础上，笔提出了有利于元认知能力发展的“策略性知识六阶段课堂教学模式”，并对元学习能力做了深入探讨。     

学会学习:学生学习素质及培养

学会学习应和学科知识同样成为课堂的基本内容。学会学习是学习素质的重要组成部分,是学情分析的起点。提升学习素质的内容包括:静心训练、注意力训练、记忆力训练、逻辑推理能力训练、想象力训练。培养学生的学习素质要转变学生的培育观念,构建学习素质培养的课程体系、教学方法体系、控制体系。     

重在学法指导 突出学生的主体性

《语文课程标准》明确指出,语文课程应培育学生热爱祖国语文的思想感情,指导学生正确地理解和运用祖国语文,丰富语言的积累,培养语感,发展思维,使他们具有适应实际需要的识字与写字能力、阅读能力、写作能力、口语交际能力。养成良好的语文学习习惯,全面提高学生的语文素养。     

“学会学习”素养的内涵与评价

学会学习素养作为中国学生的六大核心素养之一,如何科学的界定与评价受到研究者的广泛关注。学会学习素养的产生和发展是适应知识经济时代发展需要的结果,是全球教育质量提升的共同诉求,也是公民自我完善和建设学习型社会的重要保证。学会学习素养具有主体性、延展性、整合性、建构性、价值性等特点,而且国际上学会学习的评价研究取得很大进展,英国的有效终身学习项目、芬兰的学会学习研究、欧盟学会学习的三维框架以及经合组织的国际学生评价项目都颇具代表性。为深入推动学会学习研究,亟需建构兼具全球化和本土化的学会学习评价框架、优化评价方法和工具、坚持评价主体的多元化等。     

"乐教"与"乐学"在物理教学中的运用

“乐教”与“乐学”是孔子的教育思想在中学物理教学中的运用。教育观念、教师素质、学习动机、情境教学、师生互动、互教互学、激励信心是开展快乐教学,实施成功教育的重要因素．处理好教材、教师、学生三者的关系,使教学活动的内容、方法和形式达到完美和谐统一,充分利用情感因素激励教学是突破物理教学难点的关键。

在线教育中教与学的思考

教育现代化的建设与发展中,在线教育发挥着至关重要的作用,尤其是新型冠状病毒引发的肺炎疫情爆发以来,在线教育得到了人们的广泛关注。在线教育与传统教育相比有诸多不同之处,最主要的不同点在于:在线教育中,学生是学习的主人;在线教育一定会运用到现代化信息技术;在线教育需要特定的教学环境。正因在线教育与传统教育相比有许多新的特点,给在线教育中的教与学带来了许多新的挑战。当前我国在线教育还处于建设阶段,在实践中暴露出许多问题,亟待我们改进与完善。     

做思考的前行者——如何做一名优秀校长的点滴思考

办好一所学校首先要有一个优秀的校长和以他为核心的领导班子——对于学校的领导和管理,首先是教育思想的领导和管理,其次才是行政的领导和管理。一个好的校长应认真学习、学会思考、踏实践行,真正引领一所学校的发展。     

电视节目娱乐化的成因及思考

本文从电视传媒自身的特点入手来考察其传播方式,从内因、外因两方面辩证地分析其“娱乐化”的成因及看待这一现象,并在此基础上,作出自己的理性思考与判断:应当全面理解当前社会条件下电视节目的娱乐化。在“娱乐化”的时候,必须尊重新闻的基本规律,遵守新闻传播的基本原则。     

Learning to Teach Through Teaching and Being Taught

Teacher shortage has been a problem in northern Norway for decades. The authorities have taken steps to stimulate the supply of teachers in these regions through economic incentives and decentralized or part‐time teacher education. The full effect of these measures cannot be fully evaluated till the early or middle 1990s. In this article, structure and assessments of first and second generation decentralized and part‐time teacher education are referred. Even though this approach to teacher education has been disputed, it now seems to be accepted by most interest groups. The main problems of these programs seem to be related to the pressures on students trying to fill multiple roles (student, part‐time teacher, mother), and the supervision of students.     

合作学习效益的思考

合作学习是新课程所倡导的三大学习方式之一,它对于学生的可持续发展具有重要的作用和价值.但在实际的课堂教学中,合作学习还存在一些低效现象,如:学生的合作不主动,不会合作;合作学习的内容不合理,教师的任务设置不适当;合作学习时间不充足,学生合作不充分;学生参与度不均衡;合作学习忽视了教师的指导作用;教师的评价不全面等.合作学习要取得实效,应该做到:合理组建合作学习小组,明确分工;选择适当的合作学习内容,给学生独立思考的机会;充分发挥教师的引领作用;培养学生合作学习的习惯;把握小组合作学习的时机.     

Learning to Learn From Data: Benchmarks and Instructional Communities

This article examines the use of interim assessments in elementary schools in the School District of Philadelphia. The article reports on the qualitative component of a multimethod study about the use of interim assessments in Philadelphia. The study used an organizational learning framework to explore how schools can best develop the capacity to utilize the potential benefits of interim assessments. The qualitative analysis draws on data from intensive fieldwork in 10 elementary schools and interviews with district staff and others who worked with the schools, as well as further in-depth case study analysis of 5 schools. This article examines how school leaders and grade groups made sense of data provided through interim assessments and how they were able to use these data to rethink instructional practice. We found substantial evidence that interim assessments have the potential to contribute to instructional coherence and instructional improvement if they are embedded in a robust feedback system. Such feedback systems were not the norm in the schools in our study, and their development requires skill, knowledge, and concerted attention on the part of school leaders.
