Chinese teachers' perceptions of students' classroom misbehaviour

This study focuses on Chinese teachers' perceptions of students' classroom misbehaviour. A questionnaire was designed to assess teachers' general concerns about classroom management, teachers' perceptions of the most frequent and troublesome types of misbehaviour, and teachers' perceived needs for help with improving classroom management. A total of 244 responses were collected, from lower elementary to high school teachers in two provinces in mainland China. In general, the majority of Chinese teachers (65.6%) do not think that classroom management is a great concern. They perceive ‘daydreaming’ to be the most frequent and troublesome misbehaviour. This contrasts with many prior studies in Western settings where ‘talking out of turn’ has been reported as the biggest concern. In addition, Chinese teachers are eager to understand the psychological reasons behind student misbehaviour. They also suggest that the Chinese system of ‘teaching for testing’ should be reformed.     

Chinese teachers' attributions and coping strategies for student classroom misbehaviour

In this study, we investigated Chinese teachers' attributions and coping strategies for classroom misbehaviour across grade levels. A total of 244 teachers (Grades 1–12) from the Chinese mainland participated in this survey. Results indicated that Chinese teachers first attributed misbehaviour to student characteristics, such as being “lazy, not making enough effort”, and second to “bad learning habits”. Looking across grade levels, elementary teachers first blamed student learning habits while secondary teachers blamed student effort. With regard to coping strategies, inconsistencies were found across grade levels and between teachers' perceptions and actions. The majority of sampled elementary teachers tended to choose “praising good students” as the most effective and often-used strategy, while secondary teachers believed in “talking after class”. In fact, “talking after class” was viewed to be more effective as grade level increased. However, teachers reported that they did not actually use the strategy of “talking after class” very often when coping with misbehaviours.

师生冲突的概念界定与分类探究——基于刘易斯·科塞的冲突分类理论

论文通过借鉴和辨析社会学理论中的冲突概念,对师生冲突概念作出界定。根据美国当代社会学家刘易斯·科塞的冲突分类理论,对学校师生冲突进行分类研究。在此基础上提出了三个观点:学校师生冲突的多数属于非现实性冲突;师生结构由紧密走向松散是师生冲突增多的重要原因;师生冲突具有一定的正面功能。     

论中小学课堂管理中教师的专业性

课堂管理中教师工作具有复杂性、创造性和道德性的特点。目前在课堂管理中教师的管理类型有专制型、放任型、民主型三种。有效的、民主的课堂管理需要教师具有清晰的教育价值观、理性的决策、问题解决的能力和课堂管理的策略等专业特性。

Classroom talk: co-constructing a ‘difficult student’

Background: Research on teacher–student relationships has focused logically on classroom talk. Investigations of classroom talk range from broad consideration of the structures of such talk to a somewhat narrower focus on the interpersonal dimensions of such talk, and their consequences for student achievement and motivation.

Purpose: This study explores a relationship that the teacher defined as ‘difficult’, and attempts to understand, through analysis of classroom talk, how the complexities of full-class discussion contributed to the manifestation of a difficult relationship.

Sample: The analysis focuses primarily on one teacher and one student in a 31-student, grade seven (age 12–13) English/Language Arts class. The study was conducted in a seventh-grade language arts/social studies block class in Midwest Middle School (a pseudonym), a middle school of around 700 students in a mid-sized suburban community in the Midwest, USA.

Design and methods: The study draws from nine weeks of participant observation, isolating classroom episodes between the teacher and the specific student with whom she had a ‘difficult’ relationship. Interactions were transcribed and then analysed, using a mixed approach which drew upon research methods from conversation analysis (CA), classroom discourse analysis and Goffman's discussion of participation frameworks.

Results: Analysis suggested that the difficulty of the relationship between teacher and student was less the result of particular behaviours on the part of either participant and more the result of complications of interaction in full-class discussions.

Conclusions: In effect, the teacher, the particular student and the other students cooperated to create a difficult relationship. Despite that difficulty, however, other decisions the instructor made in structuring the classroom environment mitigated those complications, allowing the student to feel some success in the class and to continue to attempt to participate successfully in full-class interactions.     

论班级管理中的师生角色

在传统师生观和现代师生观归纳比较基础上,对班级管理中的师生角色认识进一步深入：班级管理是学校管理的一个分支,班级管理的成功与否在一定程度上决定学校管理的成效。教师和学生是班级管理中的两大角色,教师发挥着主导作用,学生发挥着主体作用,两者积极互动,推进班级管理顺利进行。     

教师素质与课堂效率

教师自身素质是增强课堂教学效果、提高教学质量的关键。为此，教师要广泛涉猎、积蓄礼实的知识底蕴；要苦练教学基本功、增强教学的艺术性；要采用先进科学的教学方法。     

课堂观察——教师研究课堂的有效方式

课堂观察作为研究课堂教学的有效方式近年来受到广泛重视.文章阐述了课堂观察的概念,通过两类课堂观察的划分,介绍了相应的操作程序.实践证明,课堂观察成为提高课堂教学有效性的有力工具.     

课堂教学环境下自主学习理念的有效实施

自主学习是当代教育的目标。自主学习的理念,信息技术与语言的整合引发了语言教学的革命,但是技术手段永远也取代不了人的作用。文章阐述了课堂教学环境下自主学习研究的意义及自主学习的现状;提出了教师是学生自主学习由可能性向现实性转变的关键因素;论述了教师必须确立学习先进的外语教学理论、掌握现代教育技术的理念,高层次的理念促使课程创新成为自觉行动;教师的教学内容应注重情感因素和策略教学,保证自主学习理念的有效实施。     

教师如何实施课堂教学评价

树立正确的教学观和评价观是实施课堂教学评价的前提。教学评价与教学活动是一个不可分割的有机整体。当前,教学评价改革面临着三大主题:由单一目标向多维目标转变;由单一主体向多元主体转变;由单一方法向多样方法转变。这三大主题应该成为教师实施课堂教学评价改革的关键。实施课堂教学评价的目的是诊断和改进教学,因此,要特别重视对评价结果的解释和运用。     

课堂交往冲突研究

课堂交往冲突是指当课堂教学活动参与者用相互矛盾的行动路径去达成相同或不同活动目标时所感知到的不一致或相互干扰,它包括三种类型:程序性课堂交往冲突、实质性课堂交往冲突和人际关系课堂交往冲突。课堂交往冲突的作用具有积极和消极二重性。良性人际关系建构、信任重建、沟通重构、协商合作、加深理解以及课堂文化共同体建构等是科学管理课堂交往冲突的基本方法。     

提高小学教师解决学生课堂问题行为能力的个案研究

采用个案研究法,以一所小学的4位教师为研究对象,深入实践,通过3个月中的12次活动探索提高教师解决学生课堂问题行为能力的途径和方法。结果发现,通过12次活动,教师的课堂洞察力得到提高,学会了从多个角度,尤其是从教师自身的角度来寻找学生课堂问题行为产生的原因。教师解决学生课堂问题行为的能力得以提升,学生的行为发生了转变。教师认为课堂观察与专业引领下的反思相结合是最有效的专业学习方式。研究者还提出了对教师教育的有关建议。     

专家教师评数学课

一线专家教师如何进行数学课评述在以往的研究中关注较少.研究结果显示:专家教师对数学课的评价主要关注学生参与程度、课堂提问水平、情境创设、学习方式的转变、探究空间、教学内容组织、课堂练习及小结与评价等方面.要准确评价一节数学课应从以下几方面着手:教学内容的处理,教学方法的选择,学习方式的转变,课堂文化的营造,教师的基本功,以及课堂教学的评价.
