‘If there's a dead rat,don't leave it’. Young children's understanding of their citizenship rights and responsibilities

Concerns about pupil disengagement from school and society have led to compulsory citizenship education in state schools in England. However, there is little evidence that the new citizenship education is meeting its goals. The research described here assesses a new approach to citizenship education that appears to overcome some of the identified obstacles in current practices. Hampshire's ‘Rights, respect and responsibility’ initiative is a rights‐based whole school reform of school policies and practices. Under this initiative the contemporaneous citizenship status of pupils is respected, pupils are taught about their rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and democratic participation is made meaningful in classroom and school functioning. Of particular interest is that the initiative starts in infant schools. This research indicates that young children can understand their rights and responsibilities in ways that are meaningful to their everyday behaviour and that rights‐based whole school reform has the capacity to improve pupil learning and citizenship behaviours.

试析基于职教集团的高职院校办学模式

集团化办学是职业院校推行产学合作,提高办学水平的重要途径,然而我国职业教育的集团化办学效应尚未得到充分的体现。改变这一现象,需创新政府主导的产学教育框架和机制;建设职教集团的合作载体;建构产学结合的育人价值观。基于职教集团的高职院校办学模式的特点在于:创建中介机制,推进联盟体制建设;构筑专业群平台,促进职教集团各项建设;建立校企经费核算机制,推进工学结合的教学模式;面向区域优势产业,打造社会服务品牌。     

基于学生感知的高校软环境的指数化评价体系研究

高校软环境评估工作具有历史和现实意义,但是软环境的评估研究比较缺乏。以学生为中心,通过测评学生感知来对高校软环境进行指数化评估具有可行性。在高校软环境的研究初期,可通过开放式的专家调查法,提出针对公办普通高等本科学院的高校软环境评价的李克特调查量表,并运用配额抽样和封闭式调查问卷执行该量表,采用权重具有可继承性的主观赋权法给出量表的权重。在对具体高校的软环境进行测评时,应当采纳分层等比例抽样方法对本科三年级全日制学生进行问卷调查,并依据高校软环境评价的指数计算公式给出评估结果。

The influence of closing poor performing primary schools on the educational attainment of students

This paper examines whether the closure of poor performing primary schools improved students' educational attainment. It is believed that school closure affects children's educational outcomes positively because children switch to better primary schools. At the same time, school closure creates a social disturbance such that educational outcomes may be affected negatively. There is no previous literature on the effect of this type of school closure on student performance. The empirical results indicate that student test scores are not affected by the school closure. Children are, however, tracked into higher secondary education levels after the school closure if they received more education years at the new primary school. This effect fades out and eventually becomes negative for children who received more than one education year at the new primary school. The results further suggest that there are no detrimental effects of a school closure in terms of educational performance.     

Becoming-topologies of education: deformations,networks and the database effect

This article uses topological approaches to suggest that education is becoming-topological. Analyses presented in a recent double-issue of Theory, Culture & Society are used to demonstrate the utility of topology for education. In particular, the article explains education's topological character through examining the global convergence of education policy, testing and the discursive ranking of systems, schools and individuals in the promise of reforming education through the proliferation of regimes of testing at local and global levels that constitute a new form of governance through data. In this conceptualisation of global education policy changes in the form and nature of testing combine with it the emergence of global policy network to change the nature of the local (national, regional, school and classroom) forces that operate through the ‘system’. While these forces change, they work through a discursivity that produces disciplinary effects, but in a different way. This new–old disciplinarity, or ‘database effect’, is here represented through a topological approach because of its utility for conceiving education in an increasingly networked world.

The contribution of schooling to learning gains of pupils in Years 1 to 6

By means of a regression-discontinuity approach with multiple cut-off points, the effects of age and schooling on learning gains in English primary schools are estimated. The analyses relate to over 3,500 pupils in 20, predominantly independently funded, schools and focus on 4 different learning outcomes. In order to take into account delayed and accelerated school careers, an intention-to-treat analysis was applied. The findings reveal substantial effects of schooling, which in line with previous studies in English primary education account for about 40% of the total learning gains. The year-to-year gains show a declining trend as the school career progresses. The analyses produce evidence for both decreasing effects of schooling on achievement and a weakening age?achievement relationship in the higher years of primary education.     

Recent Developments in Teacher Education in the United States of America

Two national reports published in 1986 marked the beginning of teacher education reform in the United States of America. Both of these reports proposed a twofold approach to teacher education reform: first, to enrich the professional education of teachers by eliminating undergraduate teacher certification programs and requiring graduate level training; and second, to change the structure of the teaching profession by replacing the existing undifferentiated system in which all teachers have the same rank with a two-tiered system in which lead teachers or career professionals would assume higher level responsibilities and receive higher salaries than regular teachers. A ten-year follow-up report identified some progress toward these goals of teacher education reform but criticised schools of education for not making greater efforts to connect their educational programs to elementary and secondary schools. The report argued specifically for professional development schools to link university schools of education to school systems. Most of the recent efforts to reform teacher education have adopted this approach. A particular focus has been the preparation of new and experienced teachers to educate an increasingly diverse student population.     

Defining the Role of the University Mentor in Initial Teacher Education

In the rush to identify the tasks of school mentors in school‐based teacher training the changes to the role of the higher education tutor have been neglected. It is argued here that the role exists in an organic relationship with school mentors and intending teachers, within evolving teacher education partnerships. A call is made for a shared understanding of that role to be circumscribed by a model of teacher education which prizes the reflective practitioner and school and university mentor roles be complementary within the implementation of this model, it is argued that the recognition of this will enhance the quality of school‐based teacher education.     

基于当代高职学生价值观教育的探讨

当代高职院校的学生是在改革开放浪潮中成长起来的新生代,随着我国加快了改革步伐和高速发展的国家经济,学生的价值取向发生了很大的变化。当代高职学生价值观表现出来的是纷繁复杂的、多向性、社会性、个体性特点。价值观是家庭、学校和社会作用的产物,这些因素决定了价值观的多元性、社会性和个体性。因此,我们要重视家庭、学校和社会的共同努力,寻求新的教育路径,提升对高职学生的价值教育效果。     

关于办好农村小学教学点问题的几点思考

由于两轮农村中小学布局结构调整带来了诸多新问题,国家又要求保留或恢复部分农村小学教学点,此举为实现教育公平,解决人民群众切实利益问题发挥了重要作用。与此同时,仍存在办学规模过小、教学点条件落后和教师年龄普遍老化等现实问题。各级政府和教育部门应从实际出发,科学决策农村教学点的撤留问题,并合理投入,重点倾斜,整体改善教学点的办学基本条件;要合理定编,明确机制,优化配置,切实解决教学点师资力量薄弱问题;要设法提升办学内涵,因地制宜,创新思路,狠抓常规,确保教学处教育教学质量的稳步提升。     

Towards a model of interprofessional preparation to enhance partnering between educators and families

Abstract

Interprofessional education (IPE) involves cross disciplinary learning, teaching, and supervision to foster greater interdisciplinary collaboration. In the field of medicine, this training approach has been adopted to improve collaboration amongst health care professionals. Rarely has this approach been adopted in regard to the preparation of student teachers. Yet professionals from the disciplines of general and special education, school social work, and school psychology often must work together and with families and pupils. A rationale will be forwarded for offering IPE to graduate students in these fields before they graduate. A multi departmental project was undertaken to design a new IPE training programme to foster collaborative knowledge of, dispositions towards, and skills in family school partnering. The components of the programme, the proposed criteria to gauge the success an initial pilot of the programme, and challenges faced in setting up such cross-discipline training will be described with lessons learned for the future.     

Language of instruction in Tanzania: Why are research findings not heeded?

The issue of language of instruction (LOI) and its effects on education in Tanzanian secondary education has been widely researched since the early 1980s. In 2009, the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training proposed a new education and training policy that allows English to be used as LOI from nursery school to tertiary education. The proposed policy goes against what researchers in this area have recommended over the years. In the light of the proposed policy, the author of this article felt the need to review studies done on LOI in Tanzania from 1974 to date, aiming to eliminate or greatly reduce the negative effects of the policy on education in Tanzania. Quoting examples, the paper demonstrates students’ levels of proficiency in English; suggests reasons why governmental policy has over time ignored research findings; and recommends as well as proposes the way forward.
