当前中国教育政策问题的媒介话语空间

以《中国教育报》、《中国青年报》和"搜狐网站教育论坛"三家媒体关于"教育乱收费"及治理政策的报道为案例,对政策议题在媒介中展现的话语形态进行框架分析,发现教育政策相关群体的媒介分布格局及接近权呈现出差异;不同类型媒介反映教育政策议题时的话语特征存在着系统性修辞基调差异;政策动员、政策论辩与诉求表达三种话语形态分别在平面媒介与网络媒介中得以展现。教育政策的媒介话语空间呈现出多元性,在成为政策信息传播通道的同时,也在一定程度上构成了公共意见领域。政策话语与媒介话语的沟通及网络进入媒介后的影响,尚待深入探讨。     

THE EFFECT OF SCAFFOLDED VIGNETTE INSTRUCTION ON STUDENT MASTERY OF SUBJECT MATTER

Vignettes have long been used as a tool to model, teach, and research behavior and understanding as well as to stimulate discussion and problem solving in learning situations. The growing body of research on vignettes as an instructional and assessment tool to enhance recognition, recall, and transfer of subject matter knowledge suggests that the effectiveness of vignettes is due in part to its use as a scaffolding tool during instruction. This article summarizes an analysis of the effects of vignette instruction on vignette quiz performance in three sections of a blended graduate educational psychology course. Eight instructional vignettes administered to two sections and eight traditional scaffolding activities completed by the third section represented the only difference in the intervention. Study results suggest that vignette instruction provides efficient near-transfer opportunities and richer scaffolding experiences on student mastery of subject matter than does instruction without vignettes, regardless of whether the scaffolding is conducted in class or online or whether the vignette tasks involve solving a problem or evaluating a solution to a problem in a hypothetical teaching situation.     

The Development of 8 mm. Film in Education

The world of education is greatly interested in possible ways of application of 8 mm. film.

Many questions will arise, now that we seem to be on the threshold of what might be called 'the 8 mm. era'. The situation with which we see ourselves confronted can be more or less compared with the period in which—next to silent film—sound film found its way into schools.
