基于资源分类的基础教育数字资源共享机制

基础教育信息化是我国教育信息化建设的重中之重,对基础教育领域数字资源共享机制的深入研究是教育信息化发展的关键。目前,河南省基础教育数字资源的共享现状并不乐观,许多学校和教师对资源共享的态度被动消极,未能达到促进教师教学的主要目的。造成这种状况的主要原因有宏观规划不够系统、资源分配失衡、经费保障欠缺、管理服务不到位、资源建设标准不一等,但归根到底是由于缺少系统规划、互联互动、协同配合的数字资源共享机制。为此,课题组立足于河南省基础教育数字资源建设与共享的现状,从“建设”与“上传”两个维度将教育数字资源划分为“已建成并已上传”、“已建成未上传”、“正在建设未上传”三种形态,并构建了基于资源分类的基础教育数字资源共享机制。该机制由11个要素构成,这些不同要素构成了两类机制,其中分类筛选机制、激励机制、安全监控机制、质量保障机制、标准化共享平台、评价反馈机制和激励表彰机制构成了针对数字教育资源的内部机制,而系统规划机制、经费保障机制、激励共享机制和管理服务机制构成了数字教育资源的外部机制。只有内部机制与外部机制联动配合,才能持续促进基础教育数字资源的共建共享。     

分层教学模式在初中英语教学中的实践策略

初中英语教学在学生的英语学习生涯中有着重要的铺垫作用,基础性非常强。但是刚从小学升入初中的学生,英语水平参差不齐,教师在面向全班学生进行英语教学的同时,又要兼顾每一个学生的差异。近几年的教育改革一直在强调要注重学生的差异性,尊重学生的个性化。本文就分层教学模式在初中英语教学中的实践进行探讨。     

基于情境学习的虚拟学习社区构建——以《国际贸易实务》实训课程开发为例

本文根据情境学习理论,利用Internet技术,营造真实的国际商业环境,以国际贸易具体业务为基础,以共同目的、共同文化背景、公共的空间、自愿参与及共享知识为基本构成要素,构建基于国际贸易情境的国际贸易实务课程虚拟学习社区,并提出了要实现该虚拟学习社区的开发环境和开发技术,以促使教师改变传统理论教学观念,引导学生进入情境中去学习。     

贵州省中学生心理健康状况研究

用自编的中学生心理健康状况问卷对贵州省818名中学生进行调查,结果表明:贵州省中学生心理健康有问题的占9.29%—29.47%,问题较严重的占3.43%—18.59%;在孤独倾向和恐怖倾向项目上性别差异明显;在学习焦虑等六个项目上存在年级差异,其发展趋势呈现起伏状态;学业优秀的学生在孤独倾向等四个方面得分低于学业不良学生,表现出较好的心理健康状态。根据研究结果,提出了相应的教育对策。     

Using a social justice framework to assess educational quality in Tanzanian schools

This paper uses a social justice framework to assess the educational quality of over 100 primary and secondary schools surveyed in northern Tanzania from 2009 to 2011. Significant shortages of teachers, infrastructure, and teaching resources were observed in all government schools. National test exam scores for secondary school students highlighted the growing inequities between private and public schools as a learning environment. Although Tanzania has made some progress, severely under-resourced schools and dismal exam scores raise questions about the quality of education offered. This paper calls for a radical transformation of the current curriculum, strategies, and accountability systems.     

运用“干线式”方法优化高校教师教育技术培训

高等教育对教师的教育技术能力提出了更高的要求,高校教师教育技术培训要获得"质"的飞跃,必须对培训方法进行革新。文章从分析高校教师教育技术培训存在的主要问题出发,将信息技术类课程的创新模式——"干线式"方法引入教师教育技术培训,在培训方法和内容上取得了突破,获得良好的教学效果。     

促进实践反思的视频案例支持系统构建

现有教师实践反思方式无法客观全面记录课堂场景,只能按照时间顺序浏览录像带,受教师主观因素影响较大。随着技术条件的不断成熟,可以构建以视频注释和检索为核心的视频案例支持系统,让所有教师随时对视频内容进行检索、自动播放视频注释片段、定制个性化主题学习,更好地促进教师实践反思,进而提升教师专业能力。     

The object of learning in action research and learning study

ABSTRACT

The Learning study and the Educational Action Research approaches to educational research are compared, not from a third, neutral point of view, but from the perspective of the former. Hence, the comparison is carried out in terms of how the main point of departure of the Learning study (LS), the question of ‘What is to be learned?’, is addressed in the two approaches. Both represent critical stances to Educational objectives, the frequently taken-for-granted answer to the question. Educational objectives communicate, however, what the students are expected to become able to do, but not what they need to learn in order to get there. Hence, what is to be learned cannot be stated in advance, prior to the teacher learning what her students need to learn. The two approaches to educational research agree on the principle that what is to be learned has to be found in the interaction between students and teachers; however, there is an important difference between the two concerning the very point of departure. Educational objectives are too wide and imprecise according to LS, the teachers have to find the critical aspects (necessary to appropriate, but not appropriated as yet by the students) of the object of learning. According to Action research, as formulated by Lawrence Stenhouse, educational objectives are too narrow, too limited and limiting. We shall start looking for what is to be learned amongst inherent aspects of the content itself.     

Educational affordances and learning design in music software development

Although music software has become increasingly affordable and widely adopted in today’s classrooms, concerns have been raised about a lack of consideration for users’ needs during the software development process. This paper examines intra- and inter-sectoral communication pertaining to software development and music education to shed light on the improvement of the educational affordances for music software in classroom teaching and learning. Semi-structured interviews with music software developers (n = 3) and music teachers (n = 15) are used to gain insights into how to enhance the educational affordances of music software. The findings of this study fill a gap in the literature by detailing the knowledge exchange required to effectively develop music education software. Improving the synergy between the knowledge bases of software development and music education could enhance novel educational affordances, providing music teachers with the opportunity to develop new, pedagogically sound music teaching and learning activities.
