书写自己的生命华章

假如有人给你一支笔,一支密封的、纯色的水笔,里面有多少墨水你无法看到,很可能刚刚试着写几个字就能用干,也可能足够写一部或几部皇皇巨著,流传千古,使世事为之而改变。而这一切你在动笔之前无法知晓。     

日美课程改革的比较分析——美国学者谈日本教育改革

二战后受美国的影响,日本现行的课程模式是在美国初、中等教育课程结构的基础之上建立起来的。但是,日本课程结构的核心精华却有着丰富悠久的历史。它具有强烈的美学意识和热爱大自然的传统观念,并受到诸如日本神道教、佛教、孔子之道等各种不同道教思想的影响。如今人们访问日本学校不难发现这些特点随处可见。只有通过对这些方面的了解,人们才有可能较详尽地理解日本的教育改革。目前在任何一个国家都明显地表现出经济、社会、文化和政治对课程结构所产生的影响。在日本由于课程编制是由中央集权直接控制的,因而更加容易看到这些影响。

The Needs-Based Assessment of Parental (Guardian) Support: a test of its validity and reliability

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to present a newly developed measure of guardian support, the Needs-Based Assessment of Parental (Guardian) Support (NAPS), an empirical evaluation of that measure, and its comparison with another measure of guardian support. The theoretical model that underlies this measure applies humanistic theory and Maslow's hierarchy of needs to the understanding of guardian support. METHOD: The study employed a cross-sectional nonexperimental survey design using 183 nonoffending guardians who accompanied children presenting for a medical/forensic examination for sexual abuse. The NAPS and an existing measure of guardian support were administered during the hospital outpatient visit, and basic information concerning the child and abuse situations were gathered. RESULTS: The NAPS had robust psychometric properties and was culturally sensitive. Tests of specific hypotheses supported the construct validity of the measure and a conceptualization of guardian support as hierarchical, with four stages of support. CONCLUSIONS: The brevity and ease of administration of the NAPS for both the clinician and guardian suggest that it is a viable assessment tool. The strong support for the NAPS' underlying theoretical model suggests that the nonoffending guardians' available resources need to be considered when assessing guardian support.     

文化的核心

在中国,英语专业的学生通常要学很多门"外国文化"课,学得最多的是英国和美国文化概况.如今,不管是谁,只要对此加以关注,就不应该仅仅认识到文化课所传递信息的重要,更应该能明确列举出开设这些课所要达到的目标.     

Prenatal depression, violence, substance use, and perception of support in pregnant middle-class women

The purpose of this study was to explore the vulnerability for postpartum depression among financially, educationally, and socially advantaged middle-class women (n = 31). Twenty-nine percent reported prenatal depression, 13% reported intimate partner violence, and 22% reported concerns with partner relationships and support expectations after delivery. No illegal substances were reported; however, a past history of smoking and excessive use of caffeine was disclosed. Implications for practice focus on the need to screen and implement intervention programs for these social problems and to adopt measures as a universal standard of care for all women, regardless of demographic advantages.     

基于良构和劣构问题求解的教学设计模式(下)

虽然大多数教育家认为问题求解能力是最重要的学习结果 ,但在教学设计研究中却很少涉及问题求解的教学设计问题。本文的探究力图弥补这一不足。我们认为 ,问题可以分为良构问题 (well- structured prob-lem)和劣构问题 (ill- structured problem)两大类型。良构问题是指限定性条件的问题 ,它具有明确的已知条件 ,并在已知条件范围内运用若干规则和原理来获得同一性的解决方法 ;劣构问题的特点是具有多种解决方法、解决途径和少量确定性的条件 ,这些条件不仅不易操作 ,而且包括某些不确定性因素 ,如哪些概念、规则和原理对求解方法是必要的 ,如何将它们组织起来 ,哪种解决方法最为合适等等。对于这两大类型问题 ,本文分别讨论了学习者问题求解的模式和相应的教学设计模式 ,以支持学习者问题求解技能的发展。良构问题的求解模式是以信息加工学习理论为基础的 ,而劣构问题的求解模式则是基于一种新兴的劣构问题求解理论、建构主义和情境认知学习理论。     

改进学校课程和提高教学质量

学校必须传授给学生们以符合现代科学进展、符合辩证唯物主义世界观和共产主义道德等客观实际的深刻而长期有用的知识,并且必须进行劳动教育,培养劳动习惯和爱劳动的情感。实现这一目的的途径之一就是改进普通中学的课程和教科书。在已公布的课程标准(即教学大纲)的章、节、课题的说明中预先指出了学生务必学到的要点,同时按照学校集体能力的实际情况,确定补充的或次要的内容。这一关于课程的改进是为了减轻学生的过重负担,同时也指明了所有学生可以掌握的并且必定能达到较高水平的一定量的基本教材的内容。
