Measures of Teachers' Workload

The measurement of teachers' workload has till now been subjective. Teachers feel that they have a great responsibility to their pupils and to society and their workload heavy, while non-teachers may have different views. This debate occurs even amongst teachers teaching different subjects and levels in a school as well as amongst teachers in different schools. A comparison of teachers' workload in different countries is also particularly difficult because of different class sizes, curriculum time, etc. It is therefore essential to provide a quantitative and objective measure for evaluating teachers' workload. This measure can then be used as a reference by school principals when allocating extra duties to teachers. It is also useful to education authorities when deploying teachers to various schools in centralized education systems.     

A model for making decisions about ethical dilemmas in student assessment

In this mixed-methods study we investigated the development of a generalized ethics decision-making model that can be applied in considering ethical dilemmas related to student assessment. For the study, we developed five scenarios that describe ethical dilemmas associated with student assessment. Survey participants (i.e., educators) completed an online survey to express their decision-making process when faced with ethical dilemmas relating to student assessment. Based on the literature and the educators’ written responses to the scenarios, elements to consider in an ethics decision-making model related to student assessment include the following: (1) the critical incident giving rise to the ethical dilemma; (2) identification of the conflict elements; (3) decisions about the ethicality of the elements; (4) justification of the decisions; (5) implications; and (6) alternative suggestions. This model offers guidance to educators in considering the dimensions of an ethical dilemma in assessment prior to making a decision.

关于活动课在中小学素质教育中的作用的调查研究

新型活动课程的设立有助于优化我国中小学的课程结构,加速基础教育“转轨”的进程,促进中小学素质教育的发展。研究结果表明：在中小学开设科技活动课可以提高学生的科学素养;可以提高学生的创新能力和学习能力;可以培养学生的合作精神,增强集体荣誉感,是应试教育向素质教育转轨的重要举措,是培养新型人才的重要途径。但是至今仍存在一些问题,有一些学校对开设活动课的意义认识不足,而没有开设,有的开了课没有遵循活动课的基本原则而有名无实,有的没有专职教师等,这些问题都有待于解决。     

大学生强迫症症状学的研究

采用“SCL－90”症状评定量表和“16PF”测验，对部分在校大学生进行整群抽样，结果表明大学生强迫症状以轻度为主。强迫症状可以分为三类：“人格性强迫”、“疑虑性强迫”和“精神病性强迫”。强迫与抑郁呈较高相关（r＝0．621），其人格特质与正常者在“乐群”、“稳定”、“敢为”、“有恒”、“世故”、“忧虑”、“自律”、“紧张”等方面有显著性差异。     

高职《装饰构造》课程教学改革探讨

教育部提出高职高专根据“理论知识必须够用,专业知识先进、实用”的原则,建立以技术应用能力为中心的高职教育职业能力系统化课程体系。根据要求,以环境艺术设计专业《装饰构造》课程改革为例,对该课程优化整合做了有益的探讨。     

论教师对学生的理解

教师对学生的理解是教育和发展学生的第一要素，是实现教育效能、促进学生心理健康等的基础和手段，是教师智慧与德行的融合，它有着丰富的内涵。提高教师德行与个性修养、对学生生活的全方位关注、确立师生之间的对话关系等，是提高教师对学生理解力的重要途径。     

动物的行为给我们的教育启示

动物的行为可分为先天性行为和后天性行为两大类,从生物进化的角度来看,在长期自然选择作用下,动物的行为都是有利于它们的生存和种族繁衍的,但在人为控制或实验情况下,一些动物的行为会发生某种变化,给我们从事教育工作的人或多或少的启示。1毛毛虫实验———创新与生存法国昆     

Heat transfer characteristics of air cross-flow for in-line arrangement of spirally corrugated tube and smooth tube bundles

An experimental study on heat transfer and resistance coefficients of linearly arranged smooth and spirally corrugated tube bundles in cross-flow was performed. The heat transfer and resistance coefficients are presented in this paper with transverse and longitudinal tube-pitch and tube geometries taken into account. The experiment's results can provide technical guidelines for application to horizontal air preheater with arranged in-line spirally corrugated tube bundles, especially to the air preheater for CFBCBs (Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion Boilers).
