外语教育学与相近学科对比研究

我国外语教育一直偏重教学实践,轻于理论建设,缺乏明确的学科依托,这已成制约其深入发展的主因之一.因此,强化外语教育理论架构,思考外语教育理论属性,探讨外语教育学科归属,对外语教育发展具有重要意义.本文在前期研究的基础上,重点探讨外语教育学这一新兴学科与应用语言学、教育语言学、二语习得、他语人英语教学和外语课程与教学论的...     

Children’s play behaviour and social communication in integrated special day-care groups

This paper considers the role of the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), the teacher responsible for the implementation of policies relating to the teaching and learning of children with special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream schools in England and Wales. SENCOs also have a role to play in the inclusion of children with learning difficulties/disabilities in mainstream schools. Yet research indicates that despite the revision of the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice in 2001, many SENCOs are still overwhelmed by the operational nature of the role with little support, time or funding to consider more strategic aspects of inclusion and SEN. The article draws on research by the author and offers the voices of SENCOs from two unitary authorities in the north of England which suggest that where the SENCO is supported by senior management within the school, the role can be a powerful one in relation to inclusion. It concludes by arguing that the role of the SENCO needs to be re‐conceptualized, redefined and remunerated as a senior management post within mainstream schools. If this were to be enforced by national policy, every mainstream school could have at least one powerful advocate for the inclusion of children with learning difficulties/disabilities.     

Play to win! Using games in library instruction to enhance student learning

Research has shown that educational games can have positive impacts on student learning and motivation. The success of a game played in a library instruction class depends on the type of game selected, the development of learning outcomes, and the flexibility of the librarian during class. This article explains the benefits to students and librarians of using games, discusses the development and use of a Jeopardy-style game, and provides practical tips for librarians interested in developing and incorporating games into one-time library instruction sessions.     

图书馆业态的变化与发展趋势

图书馆业态是指图书馆事业为满足不同读者需求而进行相应要素组合所形成的运行形态。目前,信息资源正由模拟形态进入数字形态、文献结构由线性到多维、读者更多地依赖网络获取信息、书刊涨价、其他信息行业的竞争等因素,正在促进图书馆业态的变化。这种变化的趋势主要表现在图书馆日益嵌入社会、逐渐成为读者中心,实现数字化获取、资源整合、馆际联盟、权威服务,以及回归其教育和文化价值。参考文献63。

浅谈由"应试教育"向素质教育的转变

“应试教育”的弊端有：只注重智育而忽视人的全面发展,偏重应试科目的教学,忽视非应试科目教学,偏重统一要求,忽视学生的个性发展,使学生负担过重影响身心健康,偏重校内教育忽视社会实践活动。要实现“应试教育”向素质教育的转变,必须树立正确的教学目标,完善教学评价体系,转变教育观念,加强社会统筹协调作用。     

语言活动中“创设适宜教学情境，促进幼儿自主学习”的探究

文章以行动研究法为主，观察法为辅，探索创设教学情境对幼儿自主学习所起的促进作用。对某幼儿园大一班的40名幼儿在语言活动中自主学习的效果进行评价，结果显示学年初幼儿的自主学习能力弱。针对此问题，研究者采取了在语言活动中“创设适宜教学情境”的行动，并分析了各种情境的策略和实际效果，经过6个月的实践，结果证明：创设适宜教学情境能够提高幼儿自主学习的能力。     

Feedback complexity and corrective efficiency

College undergraduates read a 2400-word passage, responded to 16 multiple-choice questions, and received one of four types of feedback following their responses. Complexity of feedback was inversely related to both error correctability and criterion efficiency taken as a ratio of feedback study time to post-test corrects. The results were discussed in terms of depth of processing and instructional comprehension.     

The role of stimulus salience in young children's ability to discriminate two-dimensional rotations: Reflections on a paradigm

Children's ability to discriminate reflections and rotations of visual stimuli was examined within the confines of a mental rotation task. It was hypothesized that success would be affected by both characteristics of the stimulus and by the subtlety of the discrimination required. Forty 3- to 4-year-old children were directed to mentally rotate a stimulus a given number of degrees and to discriminate the appearance of the rotated stimulus from among a set of alternatives. Four stimuli differing in the number of visual orientation cues were utilized across 24 trials. A significant effect was found for number of orientation cues, and data indicated the difficulty children experienced detecting reflections, a task which bears close resemblance to the yes/no option in prototypic rotation studies. Children were only successful with a limited range of stimuli when discrimination of a reflected foil was not required. Results are discussed in light of discrepant findings about children's kinetic imagery ability and the advisability of using this particular paradigm with young Children.     

马克思主义基本原理教学中的整体性认知困境

马克思主义的整体性认知是我国马克思主义思想理论研究界的共识。在当前教学实践改革中,加强整体性认知的教育也是《马克思主义基本原理概论》需要担负的一项重要任务。本文从马克思主义整体性认知过程中的前沿问题出发,联系当前《基本原理概论》教学实际状况,论证马克思主义整体性认知在理论教育过程中的重要意义及其遇到的相关性问题,并初步提出将二者有机结合的方法。
