2000-2013年国内学前(幼儿)教师教育研究综述

通过对近十余年间我国学前教师教育的研究成果进行梳理,并与国外同时期的研究成果做了分析比较,发现目前国内外学前教师教育研究虽在学前教师教育环境、学前教师专业发展、幼儿园管理、学前教师教育实践与技能、跨学科的学前教师教育研究等方面取得一些新成果、出现了研究的新走向,但也存在着不容忽视的问题:一是缺乏从纵向的角度对幼儿教师成长的过程进行全面考察,二是缺乏从“人”的角度对幼儿教师进行全面的理解和研究,三是缺乏对幼儿教师专业成长影响因素的系统研究等,解决这些问题是未来的学前教师教育研究与发展的新思路.     

The Future of Academic Publishing: A View From the Top

ABSTRACT

This article discusses the transition that publishers have had to make in the process of converting print journals and reference books to an online format. It was originally thought that making content available online would save publishing costs, but the changes made to production cycles and the needs of making content widely available, updated, and housed on online platforms are sometimes more expensive than the print process alone. Publishers have responded with new pricing models, and they are working more closely with libraries to deliver content to a wider audience while competing with search engines and other online content providers. Additionally, publishers have a new responsibility to manage the quality and accuracy of content given that so much information is now available to readers.

Fellowship training at John Hopkins: programs leading to careers in librarianship and informatics as informaticians or informationists

Preparing librarians to meet the information challenges faced in the current and future health care environments is critical. At Johns Hopkins University, three NLM-funded fellowship programs provide opportunities for librarians to utilize the rich environments of the Welch Medical Library and the Division of Health Sciences Informatics in support of life-long learning.

No Ivies,Oxbridge, or grandes écoles: constructing distinctions in university choice

Although we know a great deal about college choice in nations such as the United States, we know considerably less about how college choice operates in settings lacking well-defined hierarchies between higher education institutions. In the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, students from high socio-economic status backgrounds are over-represented in the Ivy League, Oxbridge, and grandes écoles, respectively. In nations without these hierarchies, how do privileged families distinguish between very similar institutions? Using the example of Canada, notable for its relative institutional flatness, I show that privileged families construct their own hierarchies and tap into established hierarchies in other nations. The data come from an ethnographic study of two elite private high schools in Toronto, Canada.

Listening Retention of Third-Grade Pupils as a Function of Mode of Presentation

This study compared the listening retention of third-grade pupils who had been exposed to a literature passage via three modes of presentation. Within each of 20 classrooms, pupils were randomly assigned to one of three groups in which the teacher read from a book, showed a filmstrip, or showed a film. In each presentation, identical words and pictures were used. A listening retention test was administered that showed statistically insignificant differences. Following a statistical power analysis, it was concluded that the three modes of presentation produced approximately equivalent effects upon the listening retention of the pupils.
