国际视野下督学责任区制度发展与模式研究 ——基于对湖南省的调研

督学责任区制度是教育督导制度的重要组成部分,各主要发达国家的教育督导制度都包含督学责任区制度这一内容.近年来在我国开始推行这一制度的过程中,既借鉴了国外的有益经验,又形成了我国自己特色,进行自己的创新,特别是湖南省在督学责任区建设方面卓有成效.通过调研,我们发现湖南省督学责任区制度方面主要有三种模式:异地集中办公模式(醴陵模式);驻校模式;分离模式.督学责任区制度在学校常规督导、规范办学行为、开辟家长反映意见途径等方面发挥了积极作用,但也存在着督学责任区职能定位、人员专业化和模式的合理性等问题.

Higher education teachers’ professional learning: Process and outcome

In this paper, we first offer an analytic perspective on the papers in this volume, framing our discussion within the context of academic development as a discipline and highlighting common lines that cut across the nine contributions. We then offer insights about the current state of research on the evaluation of academic development and suggest directions that are likely to advance our theoretical and empirical knowledge in this area and anchor us firmly in evidence-based practice. We suggest that clarifying the mechanisms of change when professional learning occurs and measuring the changes in student learning outcomes that are associated with professional learning are important avenues for future research.     

Effects of playing mathematics computer games on primary school students’ multiplicative reasoning ability

This study used a large-scale cluster randomized longitudinal experiment (N = 719; 35 schools) to investigate the effects of online mathematics mini-games on primary school students’ multiplicative reasoning ability. The experiment included four conditions: playing at school, integrated in a lesson (E_school), playing at home without attention at school (E_home), playing at home with debriefing at school (E_home-school) and, in the control group, playing at school mini-games on other mathematics topics (C). The mini-games were played in Grade 2 and Grade 3 (32 mini-games in total). Using tests at the end of each grade, effects on three aspects of multiplicative reasoning ability were measured: knowledge of multiplicative number facts, skills in multiplicative operations, and insight in multiplicative number relations and properties of multiplicative operations. Through path analyses it was found that the mini-games were most effective in the E_home-school condition, where both students’ skills and their insight were positively affected as compared to the control group (significant ds ranging from 0.22 to 0.29). In the E_school condition, an effect was only found for insight in Grade 2 (d = 0.35), while in the E_home condition no significant effects were found. Students’ gameplay behavior (time and effort put in the games) was in some cases, but not always, related to their learning outcomes.     

Enhancing the link between higher education and employment

This study aims to improve the efficiency of fiscal assistance programs for higher education by investigating those variables that influence college graduates’ employment rates. An empirical analysis of 2010–2011 higher education statistics shows that two variables – educational expenditure per student and the number of students per full-time faculty member – consistently and significantly affect college graduates’ employment rates, even after location and type of school are controlled. Although scholarship rates also affect employment rates positively, the number of students per industry–academe liaison officer does not have a statistically significant effect. Moreover, as educational expenditure per student or the student/faculty ratio increases beyond a certain level, graduate employment improves at an increasing rate. The two variables also affect the employment rate interactively. At a relatively higher level of per-student expenditure, employment rates increase even as the student/faculty ratio rises. However, at a relatively lower level of per-student expenditure, employment rates decline as the student/faculty ratio rises.The policy implication is that fiscal assistance programs for higher educational institutions should accord a much greater weight to these key variables when selecting and assessing institutional recipients.     

Boys left behind: The effects of summer camp and follow-up strategies on academic,personal, and social competencies

I use Danish administrative data to investigate the consequences of summer camp participation combined with a one-year follow-up program for disadvantaged boys on academic, personal, and social competencies. My identification strategy relies on individual-level panel data that enable me to observe outcomes before and after summer camp participation. Using a difference-in-differences strategy, I find overall positive effects on academic and personal competencies that reduce the gap to a matched group of boys with similar background characteristics by 40 to 80 percent. Further, I exploit a structural change in the follow-up program to evaluate how different mentoring strategies affect outcomes. In 2017, the follow-up program was changed from individual mentoring to group mentoring. Using a triple differences strategy, I find that group mentoring in the follow-up program improves personal and social competencies, suggesting that the format of the follow-up program is crucial for effects on personal and social competencies.

2005年第十一届世界游泳锦标赛跳水比赛评析

通过对2005年第11届世界游泳锦标赛的跳水成绩进行对比分析研究,探索世界跳水发展趋势和世界跳水实力格局,为备战2008年奥运会提供理论参考。我国跳水运动仍然具有较大的优势,但前景不容乐观,有些项目的优势正在丧失,部分项目缺乏领军人物。我们必须认真研究跳水运动技术的发展趋势,提高科学化训练水平、强化心理素质和提高运动技术水平,才能继续保持我们的优势。
