由系统论思维看作弊的危害

系统论思维注重事物的整体性、相关性、层次性、目的性、环境影响等内容,用这种思维方式分析学生考试作弊现象,可以全面认识作弊带来的各方面危害,从而提高对诚信考试的认识。     

高教自考与高职教育沟通的实践探索

高教自考在高等教育大众化的形势下,需要同高职教育进行有效的沟通。高教自考和高职教育具有一致性的培养目标和“应用性、职业性”的人才培养规格及其课程设置,因而高教自考与高职教育之间有沟通的现实可行性,且两者之间有多种沟通路径。为更好地实现两者之间的沟通,必须构建相应的质量保障体系。     

论我国教育惩戒权的两极化运行与理性化回归

当前公众和学界对教育惩戒的关注度日益提升,而研究表明,教育惩戒权的运行呈现出的“惧用”与“滥用”两极化趋势愈发凸显。其原因在于我国教育惩戒制度的缺陷,即教育惩戒边界模糊、主体范围不明、自由裁量空间宽泛以及救济途径不足。此外,家庭结构和舆论环境等外部因素也加剧了两极化现状。因此,为实现教育惩戒权运行的理性回归,教育惩戒内在制度有待完善,外部环境因素也有待改进。     

Student perceptions of predictability of examination requirements and relationship with outcomes in high-stakes tests in Ireland

Entirely predictable examinations are ones for which the questions are known in advance. Some assessments are designed this way, but in public examinations, predictability is subtler. Students familiarise themselves with the requirements broadly: likely topics that will come up, question formats and how to maximise their marks. If students can predict what they have to do, they can memorise performances, such as essays, and restrict their learning to fit only with examination requirements. The danger is that this focus could undermine curriculum aims. Further, examinations that are overly predictable might produce results that do not generalise to other performances or have predictive validity. This paper presents part of a broader project investigating whether the Higher Level Irish Leaving Certificate (LC) examinations were too predictable. Here, the development of a rating scale for students’ views of examination predictability is described. Data were collected from 1002 Irish LC students taking higher level examinations in biology (n?=?536), English (n?=?749) and geography (n?=?387). Students’ views on predictability of the examination could be grouped consistently across subject areas into three factors: valuable learning, predictability and narrowing of the curriculum. Belief that narrowing of the curriculum was a good examination preparation tactic had a negative relationship with examination scores and perceived learning value of examinations was positively associated with students’ scores in biology and English. These findings indicate that the scoring system rewards students who believe they must study the discipline broadly.     

柳永词与他的从政之路

柳永具有典型的两面性，他既是才华横溢的风流词客，又是苦游于宦海的颠簸士子。他的词创作和从政之路之间又有着千丝万缕的联系，可以说，《乐章集》中部分词就是其从政之路的写照。本文从柳永词作与其从政之路联系的角度上，论述了柳永在“狂荡”背后那不为人所熟悉的一面：积极于事功。     

Using multiple methods to investigate eleven-year-olds’ experiences of preparing for a high-stakes public examination in Trinidad and Tobago

This study was designed to uncover and evaluate unintended and indirect consequences of using the Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) in Trinidad and Tobago for high-stakes selection and placement. A major argument is that the test-taker is central to consequences, both intended and unintended. Data were obtained from eleven-year-olds preparing and taking the examination using multiple qualitative methods, which privilege agency and personal and social consciousness. Methods capturing the test-takers’ experience included diaries, focus groups, drawings, photovoice, and photo-elicitation. The findings were summarised by a theory of action and reported in integrated themes. Test preparation was mostly drill and practice. Both test preparation and test-taking were emotion-eliciting events requiring significant investment in positive social relationships to buffer negative impact. The costs and impact of early high-stakes examinations in Trinidad and Tobago might be higher than anticipated.
