新课程理念下高中地理有效教学策略探讨

作为组成高中教育的重要部分,高中地理在学生学习中占据重要位置。随着中学地理课程改革的不断深入推进,“地理有效教学”理念愈来愈受到教育界的关注。本文试从高中地理有效教学的概念和内涵入手,集中探讨了新课程理念下的高中地理有效教学改进策略。     

知识探究导向的层次化教学方法研究与实践

主动学习、探究知识是工程教育需要培养的关键能力,其培养方法和效果评估一直是工程教育界研究和关注的重点。本文结合汕头大学CDIO和OBE工程教学实践,提出一种融合发现式教学和接受式教学于一体的层次化教学方法,通过合理分组,翻转课堂,课堂监控、评价与反思,构建类Cache→Memory→Peripheral memory结构化存储的教学系统,实现工程教学与思维能力整合的协同。论文通过分析专业引导性较强的"工程设计导论"、理论性较强的"电工学"、应用性较强的"微机原理"等课程的教学过程数据,证明了该方法有助于加强并改善师生联系,调动学生学习的积极性和主动性,最终达到改善学习效果的目的。     

探究式教学模式在滑步推铅球课中应用的研究

本文运用文献资料法、问卷调查法和数理统计法等研究方法对阜阳师院40名学生进行了调查。结果表明:①在探究式教学促进学生发现问题的能力上,实验班学生课堂提问的次数,与对照班有显著性差异。探究式教学法培养了学生发现问题的能力;②在学生学习积极性和学习方式方面,实验班学生更懂得利用学校资源进行课下探究,能积极主动的学习;③探究式教学法可以取得和传统教学法同样的教学效果,提高学生的专项运动成绩。

Negotiating the teaching of history in times of curriculum reform: the narrative accounts of four Australian primary teachers

This research investigates the understandings of four teachers who teach history in primary and early childhood settings. Data were gathered from participants through semi-structured interviews. The participants were experienced teachers who were in the process of curriculum change – from teachers of studies of society and environment to teachers of history, under the auspices of the Australian Curriculum: History. The focus of the study was on their understandings of content knowledge and the pedagogies involved in classroom teaching, using a pedagogical framework, which sought to identify and categorise the nature of their knowledge base in the implementation phase of the Australian Curriculum: History. The study used narrative inquiry to show how temporality, sociality, and place play out in the lives of these teachers of history. The findings from this study indicate the challenges and opportunities for teachers’ professional knowledge landscapes in times of curriculum reform. Whilst there are a small number of participants in this study, their stories provide insight into how teachers responded to the challenges and opportunities of teaching history and how these teachers have shaped the implementation of the history curriculum.     

Narrative inquiry and the problem of representation: ‘giving voice’, making meaning

In this article, the author argues that the exploration of alternative forms of research representation can result in new possibilities for making meaning in educational research. Narrative inquiry as a methodology has become established as an approach in education but remains contested in many ways. How we come to an understanding of such research findings and in particular how the issues of voice and representation are resolved are subject to much debate. Here, the author proposes that using fictive methods of representation of research, particularly poetry, can have implications for the ways in which meaning is made and therefore the possible meanings that can be made. Further, this article argues that the poetic form allows for the inclusion of many voices and stories in a non-hierarchical manner, making the author's influence explicit without it being dominant. Researchers have argued for poetic representations of research data as a means to evoke the participants' experience whilst making the author's influence explicit; here, it is argued that poetry can be utilized to provide a fuller representation of the research, placing the voice of the participants, the researcher and the literature on an equal level within the whole story of the research project. This article first details narrative inquiry as a methodological approach and its particular application to educational research before discussing the issues surrounding voice and representation. Subsequently, fictive forms of representation are explored as a means of addressing these issues.     

A framework for scaffolding students' assessment of the credibility of evidence

Assessing the credibility of evidence in complex, socio‐scientific problems is of paramount importance. However, there is little discussion in the science education literature on this topic and on how students can be supported in developing such skills. In this article, we describe an instructional design framework, which we call the Credibility Assessment Framework, to scaffold high school students' collaborative construction of evidence‐based decisions and their assessment of the credibility of evidence. The framework was employed for the design of a web‐based reflective inquiry environment on a socio‐scientific issue, and was enacted with 11th grade students. The article describes the components of the Credibility Assessment Framework and provides the details and results of an empirical study illustrating this framework in practice. The results are presented in the form of a case study of how 11th grade students investigated and evaluated scientific data relating to the cultivation of genetically modified plants. Multiple kinds of data were collected, including pre‐ and post‐tests of students' conceptual understanding and their skills in assessing the credibility of evidence, and videotapes of students' collaborative inquiry sessions. The analysis of the pre‐ and post‐tests on students' conceptual understanding of Biotechnology and their skills in assessing the credibility of evidence revealed statistically significant learning gains. Students' work in task‐related artifacts and the analysis of two groups' videotaped discussions showed that students became sensitive to credibility criteria, questioned the sources of data and correctly identified sources of low, moderate, and high credibility. Implications for designers and educators regarding the application of this framework are discussed. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Res Sci Teach 48: 711–744, 2011

当探究性活动遭遇学生的功利性思维

学生参与探究性活动是探究性学习的外在表现形式。在根深蒂固的功利性思维驱使下,学生的探究性活动常常迷失核心目标指向。规范和激励学生的探究行为,既需要建立适合探究性活动的评价机制,也需要教育者的理性引导。
