Vertrauen im Bildungsverbund

Educational networks constitute a new way of governance, which aims at collaborating on current challenges in the educational system. Such networks are based on the social relationships of their members, whereby trust is of particular relevance. In this article, we focus on this interpersonal trust within an educational network and take a first step towards an empirically grounded theory on dimensions of trust in a multi-organizational coalition. To that end, we analyze semi-structured interviews with a total of 21 actors of an exemplary educational network. The interviews were mainly focused on the interviewees’ network relationships. These relationships were analyzed by means of Grounded Theory using the data analysis software MAXQDA. Our analyses resulted in a theory of five dimensions of trust: (1) individual attitude, (2) time, (3) organizational and issue-specific proximity, (4) power, and (5) multiplexity. These dimensions represent an approximation of a better understanding of trustful relations in educational networks and have to be verified in further – particularly representative – studies for their validity.     

English-bilingual biology for standard classes development,implementation and evaluation of an English-bilingual teaching unit in standard German high school classes

English connects all areas of science around the world. Productive and receptive English-language skills are thus a crucial tool that schools must provide their students with in order to prepare them for higher education and professional life. The introduction of bilingual instruction of subject matter, often referred to as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), allows for incorporating English as a medium of communication directly into the science classroom. However, such bilingual lessons are often only accessible in the context of bilingual programmes for which students have to qualify based on their previous performance. The present study assessed the applicability of bilingual modules in non-selected groups of students. For this, a bilingual teaching unit on immunology was developed and implemented in standard German ninth grade classes. After the unit, bilingually taught students showed the same content knowledge gains as their peers who had been taught solely in their native language. Average achievement motivation ratings before and after the unit were medium to high in all classes, and the majority of students was open to more bilingual lessons. An evaluation of student comments provides further indications for the development of future bilingual units.     

5～6岁幼儿在不同阅读方式下阅读图画书的眼动研究

本研究以眼动仪为工具,以31名5～6岁幼儿为被试,采用实验法考察不同阅读方式对幼儿图画书阅读的影响.研究结果表明:(1)5～6岁幼儿可以采取自主阅读的方式阅读图画书.(2)较之自主阅读,聆听阅读更有利于幼儿对图画书的信息进行较为深入的加工,表现为幼儿能够较好地理解故事情节的变化.(3)在自主阅读中,幼儿的阅读是一种自我探索的过程,且更倾向于从图画书中的文字部分获取故事的相关信息;而在聆听阅读中,幼儿借助于成人的朗读,更多的是从图画部分获取信息.     

CoRE: A conceptual model for incorporating conflict resolution into teacher education

Abstract

School districts throughout the United States have responded in different ways to recent acts of violence. Responses vary from external security measures, which include metal detectors, see‐through backpacks, and fences, to programs that train teachers and students to recognize potentially dangerous threats and behavior. Literature indicates that teacher education programs have generally failed to address this issue in preservice teacher education. The purpose of this article is to present a conceptual model for incorporating conflict resolution in preservice teacher education. The CoRE model offers teachers conflict resolution/ peer mediation skills in a four‐level approach: Foundational Knowledge, Integration, Contextual, and Implementation.     

原生态民歌和唱法流行的成因分析

第十二届全国青年歌手电视大奖赛以来,原生态唱法作为一种声乐表现形式深受观众所喜爱,并得以迅速流行。这种现象是与民众的求新心理、文化回归的规律、媒体的推动作用以及原生态音乐本身的艺术价值和历史文化价值等多种因素的互相作用分不开的。深入研究原生态唱法,对于保护、传承和弘扬民族优秀文化,具有重要的现实意义。     

The temporal dimension of gender inequality in academia

This paper examines gender inequality in academic careers by applying Merton's concept of socially expected durations (SEDs). Women's relatively slower advancement along the academic hierarchy has been traditionally attributed to their traits and constraints. The concept of SED shifts attention from the individual to the organizational level, and the actual and expected augmented durations between promotions for women are viewed as part of the structural arrangements of academic institutions and their culture. It is argued that because of the distinct characteristics of academic careers, time-in-rank is an important dimension distinguishing among otherwise very uniform occupational roles and career patterns. The implications of conceptualizing career discrepancies in terms of socially expected durations are discussed.     

伯恩斯坦的语言编码理论述评——对我国教育过程公平的启示

巴兹尔·伯恩斯坦提出,来自不同背景的儿童,在他们的早期生活中发展了不同的符码,或者说是说话的形式,这些会影响他们以后在学校的经验。他从学生语言技能角度解释教育中存在的不平等现象,认为语言的差距会造成学业成绩的差距,会造成学生在教育过程中的不平等待遇。这一理论为我国研究教育过程公平提供了一个新的视角,同时也警惕教师们应该关注学生的语言发展。
