湖南省小学英语课程实施过程中的师资问题应对:培训与培养

针对湖南省小学英语课程实施过程中的师资质量有待提高与数量急需扩充的问题,相关部门采取了"培训为主,培养为辅"的应对策略.文章对此予以综述,并在此基础上提出"重视在职培训的多样化,突出职前培养的专业化"的建议.     

春风化雨润物无声——浅谈初中思品课如何联系生活实际进行教学

伟大的教育家陶知行先生曾提出:"生活即教育."并强调:"教育要以生活为中心,没有生活做中心的教育是死的教育."事实如此,人的思想品德正是通过对生活的认识和实践逐步形成、完善的,初中思想品德课程应该在学生逐步扩展的生活经验基础上,为他们正确认识自我,处理好与他人、集体和国家的关系,使思想品德获得健康发展提供必要的帮助.

跨文化视角下的大学英语翻译教学

翻译教学中的文化教学是大势所趋,因此大学英语翻译教学应加强对学生的文化导入,注重学生文化意识和文化修养的培养,使他们意识到翻译的实质是跨文化交流。通过分析大学英语翻译教学的现状,以文化词语的翻译为例,探讨了跨文化视角下的大学英语翻译教学。     

气质类型相融度对高职班委整体效能的影响

根据分层抽样原则选取20个班级的班委群体作为研究对象,探讨高职院校班委群体中各成员气质类型相融度与其整体效能之间的关系。结果表明,高职院校班委群体成员中气质类型列前三位的是多血—粘液质、多血质和粘液质;高低效能两类班委群体成员的气质类型在多血质、胆汁—粘液质、多血—抑郁质上存在显著差异,其班长在气质类型上亦有明显差异。     

近代小说中的上海民俗

在近代小说中,对于上海都市生活的各个侧面展开了生动的描绘,而都市民俗是其中的一个重要内容。到了近代,上海崛起为国内最有影响力的国际性商业大都会,小说描写上海民俗在保留传统习俗的同时,又表现出强烈的洋场风情。内容上,近代小说中有关上海都市民俗主要集中在岁时节日、婚丧嫁娶、生辰寿诞以及宗教信仰民俗四个方面。     

Examining the impact of four teaching development programmes for engineering teaching assistants*

As current graduate instructors of labs and class discussions, teaching assistants (TAs) play a critical role in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) undergraduate education, especially as some graduate students may choose a faculty career in the future. Because of the importance of TAs and their development as scholars and instructors, we sought to determine the most effective methods of preparing engineering TAs at two research universities. We compare the impact of a teaching orientation with one of four teaching development programmes (Pedagogy Course, Advanced Practice Teaching, Workshop Attendance with Written Reflection, or Mid-Semester Student Feedback with Written Reflection) on engineering TAs’ teaching efficacy and definitions of active learning. Results indicated that the Pedagogy Course consistently increased TAs’ teaching efficacy and attitudes toward teaching compared with the other programmes. We also found that stand-alone Mid-Semester Student Feedback with Written Reflection enhanced TAs’ efficacy for reflection and beliefs about teaching. We discuss implications for providing teaching development for graduate students and directions for future research.     

Planned Hindsight

By the early 1980s, many life scientists had begun to maintain small collections of cryopreserved tissues for their own specific research purposes. It became apparent that these materials could be successfully reused as new techniques and research questions emerged. This realization led several American leaders in the field of systematic taxonomy (the science of biological classification) and conservation genetics to argue for the need to take stock of and coordinate these heterogeneous collections. Their strategy, which they called ‘planned hindsight,’ was meant to organize the present in a way that appeared to anticipate the needs of future scientists. In this paper I examine how the seemingly paradoxical strategy of ‘planned hindsight’ has functioned as a strategy for choreographing life, time, and value at two centralized biospecimen collections: The Frozen Zoo in Escondido, CA, USA, and the Ambrose Monell Cryo Collection at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. I conclude that, in practice, ‘planned hindsight’ not only contributes to the endurance of frozen tissues but also preserves widely divergent speculative visions of the many different individuals involved with their creation, maintenance, and re-use.

Understanding divergent domestication traits from the whole-genome sequencing of swamp- and river-buffalo populations

Domesticated buffaloes have been integral to rice-paddy agro-ecosystems for millennia, yet relatively little is known about the buffalo genomics. Here, we sequenced and assembled reference genomes for both swamp and river buffaloes and we re-sequenced 230 individuals (132 swamp buffaloes and 98 river buffaloes) sampled from across Asia and Europe. Beyond the many actionable insights that our study revealed about the domestication, basic physiology and breeding of buffalo, we made the striking discovery that the divergent domestication traits between swamp and river buffaloes can be explained with recent selections of genes on social behavior, digestion metabolism, strengths and milk production.
