在线学习的理论与实践

本刊今年第3期刊登了记者对国际知名远程教育专家、加拿大阿萨巴斯卡大学特里·安德森教授的专访。安德森教授在专访中提及他和同事法希·埃劳米的新著《在线学习的理论与实践》,“希望能得到我们中国朋友的青睐和欣赏”。该书收录了16篇论文,作者全部是阿萨巴斯卡大学的教师和研究者,也都是20世纪90年代中期以来阿萨巴斯卡大学为了应对日益裁减的政府资助和生源的锐减而进行大规模教育改革的实践者和见证人,这些论文既有经验总结又有前瞻性的思考,对我国的远程教育事业不无借鉴价值。鉴于此,本刊特邀肖俊洪先生谨将该书两位主编所撰写的“引言”中的有关全书内容概要的部分译成中文,以飨读者。     

Writing to learn: can reflection journals be used to promote self-reflection and learning?

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether there is evidence of reflection in student-written journals and to investigate whether students show improvements in their reflective skills through journal keeping. To that end, the reflection journals of 3460 first-year students enrolled in a polytechnic were studied by means of an automated coding procedure. Data used in the analyses were students' journals for an entire week, collected once at the beginning and again at the end of an academic year. Outcomes of the content analyses suggest that there is evidence of reflection in students' journals and that students reflected on three general categories related to their learning: critical review of past learning experiences, cognitive learning strategies and summaries of what was learnt. Furthermore, the findings also indicate that students show improvements in their reflective skills as they progressed through the academic year. The findings when taken together suggest that reflection journals can be used to promote self-reflection and learning amongst students.

高职高专英语学习者词汇学习策略调查研究初探

该文采用Gu和Johnson（1996）词汇学习策略的调查问卷和Nation(1990)的词汇量问卷,选择锦州师范高等专科学校非英语专业二年级学生进行了一次定量实证调查。旨在通过对锦州师范高等专科学校非英语专业二年级学生的英语词汇学习策略的调查和分析,了解他们学习词汇的现状,找出有效的词汇学习策略,为今后的教学科研提供相关的数据。     

试论学习型学校

一定的学校管理模式总是与一定的学校发展水平相适应。当学校发展处于较高阶段的情况下,需要构建学习型学校管理模式,使之与较高层次的学校发展阶段相适应。一所学校的生存与发展并不仅仅是由物质条件和师资水平决定的,学校发展的关键指标--学校的核心精神,起着重要的作用。必须在组织结构和知识载体两方面构建平台,对学习型学校建设提供支持。

国内教育领域深度学习研究现状及热点--基于中国知网的科学知识图谱分析

教育改革的不断深入,使得深度学习成为当前一个较为活跃的领域,为探究教育领域中深度学习的研究力量分布、研究热点及研究演进,运用文献计量软件CiteSpace对深度学习2008至2018年的中文期刊进行梳理总结。通过考察合作作者、合作机构及高频关键词,发现深度学习研究已经进入到一个全新的发展阶段,其研究力量主要分布在专业性较强的师范院校,研究领域存在于高等教育与中等教育,初等教育领域活动较少,研究的热点表现为翻转课堂、核心素养、人工智能、教育模式、学习分析、教育信息化。     

Inquiry-Based Early Childhood Teacher Preparation: The Personal Learning Plan Method

The purpose of this paper is to describe a Personal Learning Plan method used in undergraduate early childhood education courses as a specific case of learner-centered, inquiry-based instruction. A rationale for this approach to instruction, the instructional context in which the specific method was developed and used, the method framework (i.e., preliminary and final plans, activities, products, and reflections), and the evaluation process will be discussed. Finally, a discussion of the perceived benefits and challenges of the method as it has been implemented will be presented.     

Some Critical Reflections On Open Distance Learning,With Particular Reference To Work-Integrated Learning

Abstract

The notion of ‘openness’ in terms like open distance learning (ODL) is sometimes rather carelessly used, for example in the work-integrated learning (WIL) of distance learners (such as the teaching practice of UNISA's education students, where schools and UNISA form a partnership). We indicate that there is very little ‘openness’ in this type of learning, and that ODL and WIL are in fact two irreconcilable concepts. Yet, when WIL is considered in relation to distance education (DE) there is no problem, because DE is a clear and generally understood concept, indicating a particular mode of education provision, within which WIL can be neatly and meaningfully accommodated. We conclude, also on the basis of empirical evidence, that WIL and DE (and not ODL) constitute the proven, established and ideal conceptual frameworks for the design and implementation of inter alia teaching practice (as WIL) in distance teacher training. In closing, we briefly reflect on the implications of our conclusion for institutional identity.
