教授委员会:学术权力主导的高校内部管理体制

教授委员会制度是实现我国高校内部管理体制改革去行政化,从行政权力主导走向学术权力主导基本目标的可行模式。当前我国高校教授委员会制度仅作为学术体制存在,要真正实现从行政权力主导向学术权力主导的转变,需要重新变革和构建教授委员会组织制度,将其作为一种高校内部管理体制。作为高校内部管理体制的教授委员会制度,其应是内含治学的治校组织,定位应从参与走向主导,功能应在咨询的基础上强调决策。     

Walking backwards into the future: Indigenous wisdom within design education

This research parallels Tongan academic Hūfanga ‘Okusitino Māhina’s assertions in the 1994 Contemporary Pacific article Our Sea of Islands, that ‘People are thought to walk forward into the past and walk backward into the future, both taking place in the present, where the past and the future are constantly mediated in the ever-transforming present’ alongside those of Professor Terry Irwin and fellow Transition Designers in which they discuss the use of Indigenous Wisdom to enable designing for the Long Now as defined by Brand in his 1999 book The Clock for the Long Now: Time and Responsibility. In the 2015 Transition Design Monograph Irwin asserts that, ‘Transition Design draws on knowledge and wisdom from the past to conceive solutions in the present with future generations in mind’. This paper draws on the pre-industrial wisdom of indigenous knowledge, specifically that of the Pacific regions, Moana, who have lived and designed sustainably in-place for generations to illustrate the value it holds for the formulation of sustainable and sustaining futures.     

The Teacher Behavior Inventory: validation of teacher behavior in an interactive lecture environment

Students’ rating of teacher behaviors provides valuable information on teaching improvement and instructional quality. Unfortunately, there is a lack of new validated instruments for measuring teacher behaviors. The Teacher Behaviors Inventory is an old inventory that was initially developed to measure teaching behaviors as regards lecture-based instructions, which is effected through the use of low-inference items. The aim of this study was to assess its continued suitability in the present educational setting by examining its construct validity and internal consistency through the lens of one lecturer’s teaching behaviors, as rated by 527 students after six interactive lectures. The variables evaluated, as mentioned above, were achieved after an items removal process, which resulted in a 32-item version. Apart from being valid and reliable, this condensed version allows for immediate assessment of teaching behaviors after an instruction session as the rating procedure is now more straightforward and less time-consuming, and also enables a reduction in rating errors. Therefore, the 32-item format serves as a practical diagnostic feedback tool in the present educational arena, permitting a longitudinal teaching behavior assessment to enhance teachers’ professional development.     

Development and Implementation of the Inaugural Anatomy Education Research Institute (AERI 2017)

Education research is increasingly being recognized as a legitimate route for faculty development in universities. However, many anatomy faculty lack the appropriate training and access to experienced mentors who can help them develop their own education research projects. Inspired by the American Physiological Society’s Institute for Teaching and Learning, the coauthors proposed and developed the inaugural Anatomy Education Research Institute (AERI 2017). Funded by an American Association of Anatomists Innovations grant, the five-day institute was held in Bloomington, Indiana in July 2017. The coauthors spent two years preparing the conference schedule, inviting speakers who could discuss education research topics and mentor applicants, reviewing applications, developing assessment instruments for the institute, and hosting the institute. A total of 62 registered participants (applicants and invited speakers) attended AERI 2017. Through a series of presentations and workshops, participants were introduced to many aspects of education research and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, including developing rigorous education research questions, determining appropriate methods to assess these questions, and searching the education research literature. Each day also included regular time devoted to work on their own education research project with help from more experienced mentors. Throughout the conference, participants were encouraged to post information on Twitter, using the hashtag #AERI2017. Participants had strong positive impressions of the conference and strongly requested future AERI conferences be held. Follow-up analyses will assess the institute in alignment with Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation Model, though preliminary evaluation indicates AERI 2017 met the original aims of the proposal.     

初中物理教学课堂引入策略探讨

课堂引入在教学中是一个非常重要的阶段,它既可以激发学生的学习兴趣,又可以增长求知欲,消除其他课程的延续性,使学生的思维进入最佳状态,从而达到事半功倍的效果。实验引入法、讲故事引入法、情景引入法、问题引入法、复习引入法等教学方法在物理教学中能取得良好的效果。

中国大学应尽快走出注入式教育时代

一、中国大学是注入式教学的最后堡垒(一)现状:“填鸭式”充斥课堂。关于教学方法,尽管我们一直在竭力反对注入式,尽管有学校也在实行讨论式、探究式教学等,但从整体上看,真正“对教学方法‘动手术’的还不多见,大部分还是过去的那种‘填鸭式’的教学”。原教育部部长陈至立在第一次全国普通高校教学工作会议上就明确提到:“教学方法过死,满堂灌、注入式的现象基本没有改变。”在2003年举行的大学生学习改革与创新研讨班上,专家学者再一次指出,当前的教学过程依然是课堂、教师、书本“三中心”,“灌输式”、“填鸭式”充斥课堂。可见注入式…
