Inclusion and the special educational needs (SEN) resource base in mainstream schools: physical factors to maximise effectiveness

As a society, we have a responsibility to provide an inclusive built environment. As part of the need to promote inclusion, there is now a growing trend to place pupils with special educational needs (SEN) into a mainstream school setting. This is often facilitated by providing a specialist SEN resource base located within the mainstream school. This article outlines why the whole school should be considered when locating and implementing a SEN resource base. It also highlights the wider opportunities for enhancing inclusion for pupils with SEN when giving holistic thought to the wider context of the resource base. It then indicates a four‐stage approach, using the illustrative example of a pupil with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), to help evaluate the optimum SEN resource base location within a mainstream school setting. Finally it highlights some benefits and challenges of an enriched school environment for all pupils when considering genuine inclusion.     

40 years of educational research in Guinea-Bissau: Mapping the terrain

A review of publications about educational research in Guinea-Bissau in the last 40 years is the subject of this paper. Published articles have permitted us to map the research terrain and produce new knowledge without collecting new empirical data. We reviewed 148 studies published between 1975 and 2015 in journal articles, theses, monographs, research reports, conference papers, books, edited volumes and grey literature. Moving from title to introduction/abstract and then the entire text we explored thematic focuses, methods, findings, conclusions and funding. This paper argues that education policy receives more attention followed by language issues and it also suggests that the research agenda is mainly due to external pressure with a tendency for applied research.

新方法抑或新教育史学——对教育史研究发展方向的一点看法

教育史学界近年来对研究方向及学科发展总体方向争论颇多。为着眼未来发展,发挥教育史学在长时段历史事件与社会变迁方面的势,教育史学一方面要关注教育演进与变迁的主题,注重应用新方法;另一方面,更应注意把握重大社会变迁与教育演进之间的联系,把教育现象和问题,放到社会结构的框架内去解释,建设侧重教育与社会变迁两个维度上的“教育-社会”史。     

Inferential statistics and the use of administrative data in US educational research

While the use of inferential statistics is a nearly universal practice in the social sciences, there are instances where its application is unnecessary and potentially misleading. This is true for a portion of research using administrative data in educational research in the United States. Surveying all research articles using administrative data published in Educational Researcher and American Educational Research Journal between 2011 and 2013, we find that over half use inferential techniques to help interpret results despite the use of population data. To the extent that these practices and findings are replicated and interpreted in the United States and elsewhere, this can lead to the undervaluing of potentially meaningful patterns and trends.     

浅谈教育科研在农村中小学的重要作用

教育科研是以教育科学理论为武器 ,以教育领域中发生的现象为研究对象 ,以探索教育规律为目的的创造性的认识活动。它是一种有目的、有计划、系统的、连续的探索活动。广大的教育工作者为了适应新世纪的挑战 ,要培养出大批创新人才 ,就必须积极参加教育科研 ,用科学教育理论来武装自己 ,不断探索新的管理方法和教学方法 ,不断发展教育教学理论 ,创造性地完成教育教学任务。教育科研是广大教师的一项群体性研究活动 ,它关系着教育事业的发展 ,关系着学校的兴旺 ,关系着教师的成长 ,关系着创新人才的成批培养 ,在农村中小学起着举足轻重的作用…     

Middle leaders and middle leadership in schools: exploring the knowledge base (2003–2017)

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to explore the development of the knowledge base on middle leadership in schools. Since the seminal reviews conducted by Bennett a contemporary scan only of the scholarly literature on middle leaders/leadership in schools has not been undertaken. Consequently, this article looks at outputs relating to this topic by examining research papers indexed in the Web of Science and in SCOPUS between 2003 and 2017. The prime purpose of this review is to offer some reflections on the development of the empirical base on middle leadership in schools since 2003 and to highlight some of the implications for future research. The article concludes that middle leadership in schools remains an ongoing focus of research inquiry in a growing number of countries but suggests that the knowledge base would benefit from more sophisticated empirical studies and greater theoretical analysis.

政府与学校变革关系的三个理论问题

政府与学校变革关系是当前完善教育管理体制的关键问题。政府管理学校变革的职能转变、学校进行教育变革的职责确立以及学校变革中新型政校关系形态创生是探讨我国政府与学校变革逻辑和实践关系的三个维度。其中,职能转变包括从国家管理到公共治理、从管制型政府到服务型政府、从全能型政府到有限型政府;职责确立包括有条件的自主获得、无条件的政府监督;新型政校关系形态包括委托管理模式、多元交互模式、教育议事会模式。

Mapping paddy rice with multi-date moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer （MODIS） data in China

The objective of this study was to obtain spatial distribution maps of paddy rice fields using multi-date moderateresolution imaging spectroradiometer （MODIS） data in China. Paddy rice fields were extracted by identifying the unique characteristic of high soil moisture in the flooding and transplanting period with improved algorithms based on rice growth calendar regionalization. The characteristic could be reflected by the enhanced vegetation index （EVI） and the land surface water index （LSWI） derived from MODIS sensor data. Algorithms for single, early, and late rice identification were obtained from selected typical test sites. The algorithms could not only separate early rice and late rice planted in the same fields, but also reduce the uncertainties. The areal accuracy of the MODIS-derived results was validated by comparison with agricultural statistics, and the spatial matching was examined by ETM＋ （enhanced thematic mapper plus） images in a test region. Major factors that might cause errors, such as the coarse spatial resolution and noises in the MODIS data, were discussed. Although not suitable for monitoring the inter-annual variations due to some inevitable factors, the MODIS-derived results were useful for obtaining spatial distribution maps of paddy rice on a large scale, and they might provide reference for further studies.
