Metacognition and Self-Regulation in James,Piaget, and Vygotsky

This article investigates the intertwined constructs of metacognition and self-regulation as they emerge in the works and theories of James, Piaget, and Vygotsky. To coordinate this exploration, we use an interpretive framework based on the relation of subject and object. In this framework, James’s perspective on metacognition and self-regulation is aligned with the Self, Piaget’s with the other and object, and Vygotsky’s with the medium or agency of language. We explore how metacognition and self-regulation function within the realm of human behavior and development as described in the works of each of these theorists. Key questions or issues that emerge for current research are outlined, and the limitations and benefits of each theorist’s perspective vis-à-vis metacognition and self-regulation are discussed.     

Making Connections: Learning and Teaching Chemistry in Context

Even though several studies have reported positive attitudinal outcomes from context-based chemistry programs, methodological obstacles have prevented researchers from comparing satisfactorily the chemistry-learning outcomes between students who experience a context-based program with those who experience a content-driven program. In this narrative inquiry we are able to address the question: how do the recalled experiences of a student and her teacher in context-based and concept-based chemistry programs compare? From the student’s unique perspective of experiencing both programs with the same teacher, we have constructed our collective account around four themes; namely, the extent to which the student makes connections between chemistry concepts and real-world contexts, developing research independence through engaging in extended experimental investigations related to contexts, learning chemistry concepts through contexts, and conceptual sequencing in a context-based program. The student reported real-world connections between chemistry concepts and contexts, found her engagement in the context-driven tasks interesting and productive, and identified connected sequences of concepts across the contexts studied. Despite difficulties for teachers who are required to shift pedagogies, the student’s lived experiences and outcomes from a context-based program provide some encouragement in working through these issues.     

Establishing a Competence Profile for the Role of Student-centred Teachers in Higher Education in Belgium

The increasing importance of constructivism in higher education has brought about a shift in pedagogy from a focus on the teacher to a focus on the student. This has important implications for teaching and assessment. A student-centred pedagogy implies a different role for the teacher. What exactly does student-centred teaching require from teachers’ actual teaching practice? What is expected from them in order to teach in a student-centred way? It is in order to respond to these questions that this research project has been carried out establishing a core competence profile of student-centred teachers in higher education. Qualitative data were collected by means of semi-structured in-depth interviews with teachers from different institutions for higher education in Belgium, known for their student-centred way of teaching. This research method is innovative compared to the methods used for existing competence lists in the literature, which were usually developed on the basis of conversations with pedagogical experts. By exploring practice and having teachers participate in the development of a competence list, the acceptance of a competence profile is much higher. The result of the project is a validated competence profile which takes into account the critiques on existing competence lists. The competence profile provides a further insight in the functioning of teachers within a student-centred pedagogy and can be used as a starting point for the educational development of teachers within this pedagogy.     

Assessing the counselling needs of high school students in Kenya

The Student Counselling Needs Scale (SCNS) was administered to 867 participants recruited from high schools in Kenya. The data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis yielding five factors: human relationships, career development, self development, social values, and learning skills were assessed. The findings highlighted the importance of using assessment instruments to identify students’ counselling needs in Kenya.     

论中国电影艺术风格特质

在中国电影发展中,在协调现代性视野和本土传统特色时,需要特别关注自身艺术风格的承传和发扬。东方艺术精神的抒情性、情景交融性、教化传统性、造型写意性等构建出中国电影本土艺术的风格走向。如何在现代背景中扬弃修正传统艺术精神,是需要我们思考的问题。     

衬底状态及热处理对Sm-Fe GMFs磁致伸缩性能的影响

采用IBS法在锡青铜衬底上溅射沉积Sm-Fe非晶态超磁致伸缩薄膜,研究衬底的表面状态和薄膜热处理对Sm-Fe薄膜磁致伸缩性能的影响.实验结果表明,锡青铜衬底状态对Sm-Fe超磁致伸缩薄膜磁伸性能有很大影响.样品经过200℃真空热处理后,100 mT内dλ/dH值从制备态Sm-Fe薄膜的0.71×10-3 T-1提高到2.48×10-3 T-1,薄膜低场磁敏性得到显著提高.     

对案例教学法的尝试与思考

案例教学法是在理论教学的基础上引导学生对具体的特殊性的实际案例进行讨论分析 ,培养学生独立思考、解决实际问题能力的一种教学方法。该教学法既借鉴了英美法系的判例教学法的经验 ,又克服了传统教学法形式呆板、内容抽象、枯燥的缺陷。通过评析案例、案例讨论课、旁听案件处理、案例模拟教学等形式 ,使学生不仅能牢固地掌握法理并能灵活运用 ,达到了电大法学教学的目的。
