创新:自学考试健康发展的必由之路

自学考试是我国高等教育的制度创新,它根植于我国优秀的教育考试传统,汲取了国际先进教育思想,缓解了人民群众对高等教育的迫切需求。20世纪末,我国加快高等教育改革和发展的步伐,高等教育的办学层次和形式更加多样化,自学考试的一些优势不再凸显。面对新的挑战,面对社会对教育的多样性需求,自学考试应适应高等教育改革需要,创新教育内涵,树立新的人才质量观,稳步发展学历教育,扩大非学历培训,充分利用现代信息技术平台,建设新型教材、扩大服务面向、提高服务质量,加强教育沟通,在持续创新中求得自身健康发展。     

全球化进程中西方国家移民公民教育模式梗概

经济全球化已成为当代人类社会生活中最重要的现象与变量之一,在它的猛烈冲击下,西方国家的社会结构发生了深刻的变迁。在公民教育层面,随着经济全球化的不断推进,外来移民大量涌入,西方国家在针对外来族群的公民教育实践中,相应地形成了以排斥型、融合型、多元文化型、跨民族国家型等为主要代表的移民公民教育模式。必须强调的是,上述四种移民公民教育模式并不存在明显的孰优孰劣,在一定程度上它们都是与各自国家的文化传统和历史背景密切相关的。

‘That's how it works here’: The place of religion in publicly managed second-level schools in Ireland

This article problematises the place of religion within publicly managed Education and Training Board (ETB) schools in the Republic of Ireland. The study draws on interview data from 43 school personnel across 18 ETB second-level schools, as well as eight interviews with ETB Education/Chief Executive Officers. Having established the legal and historical contexts, the place of religion is explored from the perspective of school life and prescribed curriculum. Across the 18 schools, the prescribed curriculum for Religious Education did not take the form of ‘faith formation’. Rather, focus was placed on exploring all world religions. However, this compares with the role of religion within the life of the school; 14 of the 18 participating schools had religious dimensions as part of school life. Half of these schools (n = 7) were Designated Community Colleges, while the remainder were Non-Designated (n = 7). The religious dimension was always Catholic in nature. Bar a few exceptions, the role of religion within the life of the school remained largely unquestioned by school personnel. The article explores the findings in light of the legislative and historical contexts.

Fostering Analogical Reasoning Through Creating Robotic Models of Biological Systems

This article considers student analogical reasoning associated with learning practice in creating bio-inspired robots. The study was in the framework of an outreach course for middle school students. Fifty eighth and ninth graders performed inquiries into behavior and locomotion of snakes and designed robotic models using the BIOLOID robot construction kit. We analyzed the interdomain analogies between biological and robotic systems elaborated by the students and evaluated the contribution of the analogies to the integrated learning of biology and robotics. The analogies expressed by the students at different stages of the course were collected and categorized, and their use in knowledge construction was traced. The study indicated that students’ reasoning evolved with learning, towards an increased share of deeper analogies at the end of the course. We found that analogical reasoning helped students to construct knowledge and guided their inquiry and design activities. In the proposed framework, the students learn to inquire into biological systems, generate analogies, and use them for developing and improving robotic systems.
