指向大规模测量建构的学生参与研究评析

以往研究者对学生参与的概念、建构、测量工具、影响因素和影响后果做了较为细致的研究.为了在中国语境下延续这一话题研究,需要对学生参与及其相关概念进一步做出明确区分,结合我国实际数据研发本土化检测工具,并且开展影响因素和影响后果的实证研究,为提高广大学生的参与水平做准备.     

RECEPTIVITY TO PEER TEACHING AND PEER LEARNING ABOUT THE SAFE AND APPROPRIATE USE OF MEDICATIONS AMONG OLDER ADULTS

The purpose of this study was to assess receptivity to peer teaching and peer learning about the safe and appropriate use of medications among communitydwelling older adults. The sample was predominately White (88.5%), female (75.9%) older adults with an average age of 80.2 ( - 9.1) years. On average, the participants perceived their health status as good (2.8 - 0.6). In addition, participants reported using an average number of 4.4 ( - 3.3) prescribed medications. The majority (75%) of participants also reported no problems with their medications. With respect to receptivity to peer teaching and peer learning, the participants, on average, were neutral to peer teaching (6.0 - 2.4), but were somewhat receptive to peer learning (6.7 - 2.2). The number of prescribed medications that a participant reported taking and the age of a participant were identified as significant predictors of receptivity to peer teaching and accounted for 14.5% of the total variance ( F = 5.84, df = 2, p = 0.005). For receptivity to peer learning, the number of prescribed medications also was a significant predictor ( F = 7.50, df = 1, p = 0.008). This study provides the initial step to identifying community-dwelling older adults who would be receptive to peer teaching and peer learning about the safe and appropriate use of medications.     

教育平等与英国教育发展

若从教育平等的角度考察英国的教育发展，英国教育发展则可明显地存在以下几个阶段：根据阶级、特权决定教育；依据考试成绩和智力测验决定教育；以综合中学为特征的形式上平等的教育；传授共同化和开设共同课程的教育。     

例说走出纠错教学困境的几点感悟

面对学生的错误,传统的做法是直接把正确的答案教给学生,因为这样可以节省教学时间,增加课堂训练的密度和强度.但评讲不久便发现,错误又死灰复燃,许多同学依然重复"昨天的故事".究其原因,由于这种评讲没有切入学生解题时犯错的真实情境,评讲缺乏针对性,教学的低效性自然也就显现出来了.
