Designing informal learning experiences for early career academics using a knowledge ecosystem model

This article presents a ‘knowledge ecosystem’ model of how early career academics experience using information to learn while building their social networks for developmental purposes. Developed using grounded theory methodology, the model offers a way of conceptualising how to empower early career academics through (1) agency (individual and relational) and (2) facilitation of personalised informal learning (design of physical and virtual systems and environments) in spaces where developmental relationships are formed, including programmes, courses, events, community, home and social media. It is suggested that the knowledge ecosystem model is suitable for use in designing informal learning experiences for early career academics.     

Bounding,An Accessible Method for Estimating Principal Causal Effects,Examined and Explained

Estimating treatment effects for subgroups defined by posttreatment behavior (i.e., estimating causal effects in a principal stratification framework) can be technically challenging and heavily reliant on strong assumptions. We investigate an alternative path: using bounds to identify ranges of possible effects that are consistent with the data. This simple approach relies on fewer assumptions and yet can result in policy-relevant findings. As we show, even moderately predictive covariates can be used to substantially tighten bounds in a straightforward manner. Via simulation, we demonstrate which types of covariates are maximally beneficial. We conclude with an analysis of a multisite experimental study of Early College High Schools. When examining the program's impact on students completing the ninth grade “on-track” for college, we find little impact for ECHS students who would otherwise attend a high-quality high school, but substantial effects for those who would not. This suggests a potential benefit in expanding these programs in areas primarily served by lower quality schools.     

Paired peer learning through engineering education outreach

ABSTRACT

Undergraduate education incorporating active learning and vicarious experience through education outreach presents a critical opportunity to influence future engineering teaching and practice capabilities. Engineering education outreach activities have been shown to have multiple benefits; increasing interest and engagement with science and engineering for school children, providing teachers with expert contributions to engineering subject knowledge, and developing professional generic skills for engineers such as communication and teamwork. This pilot intervention paired 10 pre-service teachers and 11 student engineers to enact engineering outreach in primary schools, reaching 269 children. A longitudinal mixed methods design was employed to measure change in attitudes and Education Outreach Self-Efficacy in student engineers; alongside attitudes, Teaching Engineering Self-Efficacy and Engineering Subject Knowledge Confidence in pre-service teachers. Highly significant improvements were noted in the pre-service teachers’ confidence and self-efficacy, while both the teachers and engineers qualitatively described benefits arising from the paired peer mentor model.     

谈多重复句分析

多重复句分析主要包括两个方面内容 :一是结构层次的确定 ,二是逻辑关系的把握。无论哪一方面的分析 ,都应有规律可寻。抓住关联词语是解决问题的有效途径 ,看划开之后各部分是否具有相对完整性和换位后能否成立是检查层次划分正确与否的有效手段。     

Peer facilitated writing groups: a programmatic approach to doctoral student writing

Very few empirical studies have investigated programmes in which doctoral students act as peer facilitators in faculty writing groups. We report on the development of a centrally delivered doctoral student writing programme in which twenty student participants were mentored and provided with the resources to initiate their own faculty-based doctoral writing groups. ‘Legitimate peripheral participation’ was used as a conceptual lens to interpret the data collected during the establishment and evaluation of the programme. All student participants in the preparatory training course, which was developed in consultation with postgraduate students and research supervisors, went on to become doctoral writing peer facilitators of peer writing groups. Insights from seven of these showed how a well-structured and supportive programme harnessed the benefits of peer learning by bringing personal rewards to participants and building institutional capacity around doctoral research writing literacies.     

朱子读书法与当代语文教学

《朱子读书法》是南宋思想家、教育家朱熹阐述其读书理论的重要作品。包括“循序渐进”、“熟读精思”、“虚心涵泳”、“切己体察”、“着紧用力”、“居敬持志”六个方面。读书六法所阐述的教学思想与当代语文教学有着紧密的联系,不少经验与现代教育理论耦合,可以作为当代语文教学的借鉴。

经济社会转型期加强和创新社会管理的理论初探

加强和创新社会管理是转型期应对我国社会问题、实现经济社会健康稳定发展的必然选择,是继续抓住和用好我国发展重要战略机遇期、推进党和国家事业发展的基本要求,是实现科学发展和促进社会和谐的根本主张,是转型期中国社会主义社会建设的鲜明特色。它是一个系统工程,是一项持续性、基础性工作,促进社会公正、协调社会关系、消除社会风险是加强和创新社会管理的现实目标。加强和创新社会管理,通过尊重和保障平等的权利、创造和设置均等的机会、制定和构建公正的制度,创建了一套公正的体制、机制和程序,为实现社会和谐稳定的发展奠定基础。     

基于角色理论视角的高校师生关系失调的研究

高校师生角色关系是一种围绕教育教学过程而形成的特殊人际关系,是教师和学生角色互动的结果。基于角色理论的视角,探讨目前高校师生角色关系失调的主要表现为：师生角色间冲突、师生角色不清和师生角色失败;究其原因主要是：角色规范的表面化使得师生角色行为缺乏指导和制约、角色期望的模糊不清或者冲突使得师生角色行为无所适从;并在此基础上提出从角色环境入手明确师生角色规范和期望、从角色主体入手强化师生对角色规范和期望的认同两方面改善师生角色关系失调的建议。     

明末清初闽西的社会秩序重建——以泉上镇李氏家族为中心

明末清初,福建省宁化县泉上镇屡次遭受兵灾。泉上镇李氏家族通过修建土堡、山寨,倡建乡兵、保民会,以及家族精英的政治优势保障了家族和泉上地区在明清盗乱中的相对安定,同时李氏家族在明清动乱之际完成了宗族的收族活动。文章以此说明在明清交替过程中乡村社会的应对和社会秩序的重建,及在其中乡绅所扮演的角色。
