以“职业体能”为主导的高职护生形体课程的构建

我国大多数卫生类高职院校都认识到形体课对于护理专业的重要性,并开设了形体课。但通过现状调查发现形体课教学存在一系列的问题,满足不了社会对护理人才的需求。高职护生形体课教学应建立以＂职业体能＂为主导,以培养学生职业能力为重点的课程体系。本文从课程目标、教学内容、教学大纲、教学方法、护生考核评价等方面进行构建和研究,从而为其教学改革与发展提供借鉴。     

略论婚姻信任危机的内涵、形式及其本质

婚姻是男女结合在一起共同生活,以繁衍后代为目的的一种社会现象。婚姻信任是婚姻主体双方对彼此坦诚、合作行为的合理期待。婚姻信任的危机指涉的是婚姻主体之间关系状态在某种程度上的破裂,这种破裂是一种持续的事态,对婚姻生活具有毁灭性的影响。其危机表现为由对婚姻本身的不安全感、猜疑或婚姻主体自我认同和共同认同的断裂。婚姻中的信任所涉及的婚姻主体之间的关系,在本质上是内生于生活实践的,它归根结底是婚姻主体在现实的生活实践中生成的一种关系存在,这种关系本质上是一种实践关系,婚姻主体在实践的过程中赋予彼此本质,并根据自身的实践经验来调节两者之间的危机。     

基于民俗文化传承的幼儿园环境创设

环境是重要的教育资源.基于民俗文化传承的幼儿园环境创设应以民俗文化为载体,以幼儿发展为目的,巧妙利用幼儿园的各种物质条件与活动形式,创设以民俗戏曲文化、民俗节日文化、民俗工艺文化和民俗饮食文化等为内容的环境,增进幼儿对民俗文化的了解和对家乡的热爱之情.

School–University Action Research: Impacts on Teaching Practices and Pupil Learning

The aim of this article is to describe a design and implementation of a school–university action research project about teaching and learning biology and mathematics in primary school. Nine teachers in grades 1 to 6, in collaboration with two researchers, were using content representation (CoRe) in learning study (LS)-inspired cycle as pedagogical tools when planning, implementing, and reflecting on lessons and pupil learning. By using pre- and post-tests, the teachers acquired knowledge about pupil subject-specific knowledge and learning. Some examples are given on how the tools in the project influenced the teaching practices and pupil learning. This research design brought together university and school practitioners to work collaboratively in a professional learning community, which developed teaching and learning in biology and mathematics.     

Effects of student-facilitated learning on instructional facilitators

We investigated perceptions about learning strategy use and instructional roles among a sample of high needs adolescents (n = 230) who acted as near-peer instructional facilitators. The sample was drawn from science and mathematics classes in nonselective public secondary schools in New York City. Students participated in an inschool intervention that draws on social constructivism, theory and research on metacognition and learning strategies, role theory, and empirical findings from the peer-to-peer learning literature to promote advanced achievement among students who act as facilitators. Using a pre- and post-test single group design, we surveyed student instructional facilitators before and after program participation and related their perceptions about learning strategy use and perceptions about teaching roles to data about academic achievement. We found no survey gains in student perceptions about learning strategies or instructional roles between pre-survey (fall) and post-survey (spring). We found small but significant effects of individual perceptions about learning strategies and teaching roles on academic gains among instructional facilitators. The study also suggests that an in-school near-peer facilitated learning program can be an effective means to raise achievement in urban high schools. The study provides partial support for theories that hold that metacognition and role perceptions are involved in the academic gains of instructional facilitators, as gains in these dimensions were small compared to achievement gains.     

Investigating the effect of an adaptive learning intervention on students’ learning

Educators agree on the benefits of adaptive learning, but evidence-based research remains limited as the field of adaptive learning is still evolving within higher education. In this study, we investigated the impact of an adaptive learning intervention to provide remedial instruction in biology, chemistry, math, and information literacy to first-year students (n = 128) entering a pharmacy professional degree program. Using a mixed methods design, we examined students’ learning in each of the four content areas, their experience using the adaptive system, and student characteristics as related to their choice of participating in the intervention. The findings showed the adaptive learning intervention helped address the knowledge gap for chemistry, but the same effect was not observed for the other three content areas. Math anxiety was the only student characteristic that showed a significant relationship with students’ participation. While the students reported an overall positive experience, the results also revealed time factor and several design flaws that could have contributed to the lack of more student success. The findings highlight the importance of design in adaptive learning.     

Cabinetmakers’ Workplace Mathematics and Problem Solving

This study explored what kind of mathematics is needed in cabinetmakers’ everyday work and how problem solving is intertwined in it. The informants of the study were four Finnish cabinetmakers and the data consisted of workshop observations, interviews, photos, pictures and sketches made by the participants during the interviews. The data was analysed using different qualitative techniques. Even though the participants identified many areas of mathematics that could be used in their daily work, they used mathematics only if they were able to. The cabinetmakers’ different mathematical skills and knowledge were utilized to their skill limit. Cabinetmakers were found to constantly face problem solving situations along with the creative processes. Being able to use more advanced mathematics helped them to solve those problems more efficiently, without wasting time and materials. Based on the findings, the paper discusses the similarities and differences between problem solving and creative processes. It is suggested that the combination of craftsmanship, creativity, and efficient problem solving skills together with more than basic mathematical knowledge will help cabinetmakers in adapting and surviving in future unstable labour markets.
