Teachers’ perceptions and concerns about the implementation of the 2005 preschool curriculum in Tanzania

The aim of this study was to examine teachers’ perceptions and concerns about the implementation of the preschool curriculum developed over 10 years (2005–2015). This paper reports findings from an interpretive case study design in four preschool settings in Tanzania with 12 teachers and 8 parent participants. Data were generated using interviews and documentation. The research focus was on how teachers have implemented the 2005 preschool curriculum. The findings indicate that the implementation of the curriculum was problematic due to teachers’ lack of knowledge of a child-centred pedagogy. In addition there were no teachers qualified to work with young children, overcrowded classrooms, poor teaching and learning environments, and insufficient teaching and learning materials and facilities. This study recommends that to improve the current situation and attain quality provision of early education, teachers need to develop their professional knowledge through in-service training. The government policy planners need to provide initial teacher education, professional development, and conducive teaching and learning environments with available resources for effective teaching and learning practices.     

Trainee teachers' conceptions of teaching and learning,classroom layout and exam design

The objective of this study centres on identifying and classifying the conceptions of teaching and learning held by future secondary school teachers, and on analysing the relationship between these conceptions and the way classroom space is organized and exams are designed. The test instruments used were applied to a sample of 138 graduates, who were all following the Pedagogical Aptitude Course (CAP) during the academic year 2002/03. Results show that the more traditional teaching/learning models are related to a more vertical classroom layout. Significant correlations between beliefs and exam demands were also found.     

民间信仰与社会主义新农村建设——以皖北地区为中心

大学生理想信念教育中道德信仰的历史逻辑功能

大学生理想信念教育的困境,并不是社会主义理想信念的真理性价值的丧失,也不是大学生主体性价值需求的不足,而是作为真知的社会理想信念与大学生个体价值认同的矛盾分裂。在坚持社会主义理想信念法权地位的基础上,加强和改进大学生理想信念教育,必须实现社会理想信念与大学生个体价值认同的统一。在由特殊向一般、个体向社会转化的过程中道德信仰起着价值中介、基础的作用,具体表现为道德信仰的社会历史功能和理论逻辑功能及其统一。而这在理想信念教育中又具有普遍性,并具有示范和推广意义。

理想信念内化的理论与实践创新

理想信念内化既是思想政治教育的一个重要环节,也是思想政治教育要达成的重要目标.它不仅要通过满足个体成功的需要来开启,而且要立足于社会发展的需要,以科学发展观为统领,综合运用多种因素和力量,通过环境创新来推进,更要结合教育的一般规律,通过实践创新来完成.如果缺失任何一个方面,理想信念内化的效果将不同程度地削弱,甚至内化过程被终止.
