An account of practice: employing drawings and stories to enable reflective learning

Facilitating reflection for personal growth in a business context requires careful thought and planning. As a learning process, Business-Driven Action Learning (BDAL) has two points of focus. It aims to firstly identify and make recommendations regarding a business challenge, whist secondly facilitating potentially significant individual personal learning and growth. The research reported in this account of practice focused on personal learning by exploring the potential for individuals to experience transformative learning during a BDAL process. During the research I used a number of methods including hand-drawn images and in-depth interviews to enable the writing of interpretive stories. Findings revealed that participants found reflection during and after the BDAL beneficial. They gained insights into what they learnt, what changed since the BDAL experience and also what they still need to focus on. The findings have practical implications for the action learning facilitator of BDAL during management development programmes. One of the ways action learning facilitators can initiate the reflection process of new participants is to share the experience of previous participants. ‘Sandy’s interpretive story’, contained in this article, is such an example and includes hand-drawn images of her learning journey. I argue that the use of interpretative stories helps new participants understand programme challenges and stimulates their individual learning journey.     

Coordination of Knowledge of Numeration and Arithmetic Operations on First Grade Students

The aim of this study was to develop a better understanding of the processes involved in the construction of the oral and written symbolic systems of numbers and to grasp their role in the elaboration of the modeling function of numbers. Tasks related to both spoken and written number sequenceS and to addition and subtraction problems were given to six first graders. Analysis of the children's behavior permits discussion of certain theoretical questions raised by the research results of the construction of number sequence, contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between numeration and arithmetic operations and finally, in light of these results, permits us to propose ideas for teaching.     

生态主义课程思想的历史演变

不同文明时期 ,生态主义思想表现出鲜明的阶段性特点 ,生态主义课程思想在其漫长的历史发展中也被打上了深刻的时代烙印。渔猎文明时期 ,课程还没有成为独立的专门形态 ,先民的图腾崇拜、自然崇拜等观念影响着萌芽时期的生态主义课程思想 ;农业文明时期 ,我国传统文化中“天人合一”、“以德配天”等思想精华对生态主义课程产生了深刻影响 ;工业文明时期 ,卢梭、福禄倍尔等人的自然教育思想推动了生态主义课程思想的发展 ;生态文明时期 ,以斯拉特瑞为代表的后现代主义课程理论进一步丰富和拓展了生态主义课程思想。     

试析《学记》中的主体教学观

《学记》是我国两千多年前第一部系统论述教育问题的专著,被称为“教育学的雏形”,许多教育思想历久弥新,特别是其中的主体教学思想对我们当今的教育教学改革仍有较强的指导和借鉴意义。     

Comment on Elbers' article: Which competence? For whom? For what?

In reaction to Elbers' paper, several comments are made concerning the unit of analysis used to observe children's cognitive activity, the nature of the competence assessed, and the role of the task, or the object of knowledge, in which the child and the adult interact. It is argued that the testing situation is a social event in which the adult and the child interact on a specific object and negotiate a common interpretation of the task and the situation. From this perspective, the testing situation appears to be a learning situation in which new knowledge is acquired.

Testgütekriterien der „Profilanalyse nach Grießhaber“. Evaluation eines Verfahrens zur Erfassung grammatischer Fähigkeiten von ein- und mehrsprachigen Grundschulkindern

A diagnostic goal of the “Profile analysis according to Grießhaber” is the assessment of the grammatical ability to place verbs in German sentences in the correct syntactical position. To evaluate the test quality for the first time, 403 monolingual and multilingual primary school children were randomly assigned to three different test materials: Test material that specifically stimulated the target competence led to the best test results. This indicates a low objectivity of application. In addition, ceiling effects for primary school children were detected, which means that the profile analysis can only slightly differentiate among the grammatical abilities of the children. Retest reliability and objectivity of analysis are also too small. In summary, the test quality of the assessment tool should be improved with respect to all of the test quality criteria considered. Hence, we recommend standardizing the profile analysis better and adding more sensitive diagnostic criteria for primary school aged children. Other aspects of profile analysis, for example the improvement of diagnostic competencies of teachers, are recommended for future research.

二氧化钛纳米微晶光催化剂的制备

采用改变溶液酸碱度来控制 Ti Cl4 水解速度的方法 ,制备了二氧化钛纳米微晶光催化剂。以造纸废水的光催化降解为研究体系 ,测定了经过不同温度煅烧后 Ti O2 粉体的催化能力 ,发现 Ti O2 粉体于 1 0 0℃热处理 2 h,造纸废水 COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand)降低了 78.3% ,40 0℃煅烧 2 h,COD降低了 53.7%。研究表明 Ti O2 表面物理吸附的水和过多的 Ti- OH会降低光催化活性 ,适量的 Ti- OH有利于光催化氧化
