Computer games application within alternative classroom goal structures: cognitive, metacognitive, and affective evaluation

This article reports findings on a study of educational computer games used within various classroom situations. Employing an across-stage, mixed method model, the study examined whether educational computer games, in comparison to traditional paper-and-pencil drills, would be more effective in facilitating comprehensive math learning outcomes, and whether alternative classroom goal structures would enhance or reduce the effects of computer games. The findings indicated that computer games, compared with paper-and-pencil drills, were significantly more effective in promoting learning motivation but not significantly different in facilitating cognitive math test performance and metacognitive awareness. Additionally, this study established that alternative classroom goal structures mediated the effects of computer games on mathematical learning outcomes. Cooperative goal structure, as opposed to competitive and individualistic structures, significantly enhanced the effects of computer games on attitudes toward math learning.     

The effect of peer feedback for blogging on college students' reflective learning processes

Reflection is an important prerequisite to making meaning of new information, and to advance from surface to deep learning. Strategies such as journal writing and peer feedback have been found to promote reflection as well as deep thinking and learning. This study used an empirical design to investigate the interaction effects of peer feedback and blogging on college students' reflective thinking skills and their learning approaches. Forty-four first- and second-year undergraduate students participated in the study. Students kept blogs each week throughout a whole semester. Two journals were sampled at the beginning and end of the semester for each student. A repeated measure one-way ANOVA suggested that students' reflective thinking level increased significantly over time; however, peer feedback was found to negatively affect students' reflective thinking skills. The result of the study suggests more carefully designed uses in the future.     

“一体”、“两象”、“三关”和“四要”——新诗“标准”的现实构建策略

目前新诗标准建设已成当务之急,一定要重视诗体、想象与意象。新诗标准应该分为“写什么”的标准与“怎么写”的标准两大部分,但是后者远比前者重要。好的新诗应该是艺术地表现平民性情感的语言艺术。新诗应该在内容（写什么）上放开,实现真正的多元,形式（怎么写）上做适度限制,必须重视诗家语和诗体等诗的基本文体特征,重视诗的艺术性。没有好诗人就没有好诗,与其对新诗提出标准不如对新诗诗人提出标准,应该适度提高新诗行业的“准入”难度,新诗诗人应该过语言关、诗的知识关和诗的技巧关,诗人要重视学养、技巧、难度和高度。诗人写作需要重视“想象”和“意象”。
