人文关怀:高校图书馆发展建设之价值取向

网络化数字化应用于高校图书馆的建设,为图书馆的发展注入全新理念,并充分拓展其服务空间。当我们探讨网络化数字化对高校图书馆发展建设整体影响与作用的同时,有必要对高校图书馆之服务主体——读者,以及读者在这一服务过程中所获得的服务效应进行理性的分析与判研,从而为图书馆今后可持续发展提供清晰明确的方向。     

英语语素意识对大学生英语阅读能力的影响

以102名大一学生为研究对象,采用相关性分析探讨英语语素意识水平及其三个因子(语素的结构、语义、语法意义)与英语阅读能力的关系.结果显示:大学生英语学习者的英语语素意识与其阅读能力有正相关关系,但语素意识内部各因素对阅读能力的作用存在差异:语素的语义对英语阅读能力的贡献相对较大,其次是语素的语法意义(词性),而语素的结...

Teachers’ professional development in Nanoscience and nanotechnology in the context of a Community of Learners

ABSTRACT

This case study focuses on teachers’ professional development in NanoScience and nanoTechnology (NST). In the context of a Community of Learners (CoL), in-service teachers in collaboration with science education researchers, nanoscience researchers and experts from science museums, developed a teaching module. This module integrates NST topics along with aspects of science communication, i.e. development of science exhibits and socio-scientific issues, e.g. ethics regarding the research in this field. The data were gathered over 1-year period by using video recordings and interviews. The Interconnected Model of Professional Growth was used to study the processes that support teachers’ professional change in this context, as they are elicited from their interactions in the CoL. Our findings indicate that the dynamic of teachers’ interactions with colleagues and the mediating processes that impact on their professional learning, are crafted on the basis of the emerged challenges in each phase of module’s design and development. These findings give an insight on teachers’ professional learning as they transfer their professional knowledge regarding scientific topics which are innovative to them, i.e. NST, into their teaching practice. In this respect, this study contributes to research literature relevant to teachers’ professionalisation in order to implement innovations in the classroom.

Assessing school supports for ELL students using the ECLS-K

Using a large and nationally representative sample of children, this study examined the association between the school resources available to English Language Learners and their academic trajectories from kindergarten through fifth grade. Particular attention was paid to the differences in services provided by schools with high, low, or no ELL student concentrations. Growth-curve modeling results indicated that ELL children started kindergarten with significantly lower reading and math scores compared to their English-speaking peers. However, ELL children improved their math scores fast enough that they were able to narrow the initial gap in math scores with their English-speaking peers by fifth grade. This was particularly true for ELL children in schools with either a high- or low ELL student concentration. In contrast, ELL children still had lower reading scores by fifth grade compared to their English-speaking peers. The results highlight the importance of school resources and services in improving ELL students’ academic trajectories. Directions for future studies are discussed.     

授受表达在《新编日语》教材中的问题及对策研究

授受表达用法是日语教学和学习中的重点和难点内容之一,然而中国学生在使用授受表达的过程中,普遍存在误用现象,笔者认为教材的影响是很重要的原因之一.文章以2013年所进行的关于中国日语学习者授受表达方式习得研究的问卷调查结果为依据,针对调查中学习者出现的问题倾向,对《新编日语》教材中关于授受表达方式编写存在的问题进行分析、论证,最后提出改进对策,以期对日语教材的编写及教学有所启示.

Health and wellbeing and wider achievement: An analysis of teachers’ practices and learners’ experiences in Scottish secondary schools

There is a heightened policy expectation in Scotland that a greater curriculum emphasis on health and wellbeing (HWB) will positively contribute to learners’ reflections on their wider achievements. However, in terms of policy enactment, relatively little is known on the interrelationship between HWB and learners’ wider achievements. To address this limitation, data was gathered from four secondary schools in East central Scotland via an online survey, eight learner group interviews and eight teacher interviews. Findings indicated that learners’ grasp of how HWB connects with their broader achievements was generally vague and imprecise. Despite many areas of positive self-reporting learners’ progress was hampered by their lack of confidence in speaking in front of others and modest sense of school belonging. In addition, the practice gains anticipated through making HWB a more central feature of all learners’ broad general education were constrained by teachers’ variable level of engagement with their new roles and responsibilities, and by logistical problems in recording learners’ achievements. Further research which collects more extensive data on the weaknesses identified and on understanding learners’ HWB experiences better would contribute to a more insightful analysis of how schools enact policy and record achievement.
