高等数学教学中的数学活动观

根据现代认知论的观点以及教学学科的特点,教学学习的主体过程应是教学活动过程.现行的高等数学教学的主流模式不符合学生的数学认知规律,必须构建以学生为中心、以促进学生素质的全面发展为目的、以师生的双边活动方式为主要课堂教学形式的高等数学教学模式.     

Transnational accreditation for public schools: IB,PISA and other public–private partnerships

ABSTRACT

This article examines a particular type of public–private partnership (PPP) that is rarely studied in comparative educational policy studies: one in which a government funds privately run international schools. The aim of this PPP is to enrich and thereby improve the regular curriculum or to the quality of education in public schools. As the exponential growth of International Baccalaureate (IB) illustrates, such forms of PPP have increased significantly over the past few years. The authors show that transnational accreditation holds a special appeal for the middle class that is committed to cosmopolitanism, international mobility, and global citizenship. However, international standards schools such as IB are not alone with advancing a transnational accreditation of their educational programmes. Symbolically, Programme in International Student Assessment also provides a transnational accreditation, albeit not on individual education programmes but rather on entire educational systems. The article examines the reasons for the popularity of this type of PPP, analyses the interaction between the private and public education sectors, and investigates how governments explain, and what they expect from, the close cooperation with private education providers.     

"奇语喧哗"时代后的文学文化认同

从文学的本质出发,对上世纪80年代中期到90年代中期新潮文学显现的多种新奇语言竞相喧哗状况的分析,结合本世纪中国文坛创作方方面面的多元化转向,旨在说明在网络文学盛行的时代背景下,文学创作与文化研究之间关系的流变,从而寻找出文学在新时代的文化认同形式及其发展的新景象和新规律。     

20世纪90年代以来中国近代自由主义研究述评

从20世纪90年代以来,学界在中国近代自由主义的研究方面取得不菲成果。作为舶来品的中国自由主义具有怎样的思想和性格特征?哪些人可以被称为中国的自由主义者?他们的区别该作如何的类型划分?自由在自由主义者那里究竟是价值理性还是工具理性?造成自由主义在中国失败命运的原因有哪些?本文将研究中涉及的问题主要概括为如上这些方面进行了简要评述,并在此基础上展望了未来一段时间内可能的研究取向。     

Bilingual Vine making: problematizing oppressive discourses in a secondary Chicanx/Latinx studies course

ABSTRACT

This article presents the critical digital literacy practices of Latinx bilingual youth in the United States enrolled in a secondary ethnic studies course. Despite the expansion of digital tools in classrooms, empirical studies on the pedagogical affordances of such tools, and how they enhance youth’s critical digital literacies and understandings of themselves remain scarce. The author relies on participant observation, interviews, and the analysis of writing within a unit that incorporated students’ twenty-first century language and literacy practices via Vine’s social media platform to explore issues of power and privilege within an exacerbated sociopolitical climate. Findings reveal the ways in which students drew on a range of fluid linguistic and literate practices to make meaning of themselves, problematize oppressive dominant discourses, and negotiate more desired identities and literacies. Attention to young people’s translanguaging and multimodal codemeshing practices on social media platforms can harvest critical insight about what constitutes twenty-first century critical digital literacies.     

The role of derivational morphology in the reading comprehension of Spanish-speaking English language learners

This study examined the relationship between morphological awareness and reading comprehension in English among Spanish-speaking English language learners (ELLs) followed from fourth through fifth grade. Students’ ability to decompose derived words while reading was assessed using an experimental task. Multiple regression analyses were used to investigate the contribution of performance on this task to reading comprehension above and beyond word reading skills, phonological awareness, and breadth of vocabulary knowledge. The relationship between morphological awareness and reading comprehension was found to strengthen between fourth and fifth grade, and in fifth grade, morphological awareness was found to be a significant predictor of reading comprehension. The findings were robust across two measures of reading comprehension and two methods of scoring the experimental task of morphological awareness, and thus support the inclusion of derivational morphology in a model of the English reading comprehension of Spanish-speaking ELLs.

西南联大数学名师的"治学经验之谈"及启示

西南联大是一所名师云集的高等学府,为我国培育出了许多英才,被海内外人士喻为“藏龙卧虎”之地.西南联大数学系的“数学三杰”——华罗庚、许宝禄、陈省身3位教授,以及后起之秀钟开莱先生均在海内外享有盛誉.华罗庚先生讲课的主要特点是,他总是尽力把题材化繁为简,化难为易;强调搞学问必须有“看家工夫”;强调“读书要从薄到厚,再从厚到薄”.陈省身先生强调“数学为的是简单性”.许宝禄和钟开莱先生在教学中特别强调要“直观地理解数学”,主张要把数学定理及其证明的“原始思想”告知学生.所获得的教益:认识到追求简单规律的重要性,并以此作为研究数学的目标和兴趣出发点;学会使用直观、联想去理解数学并籍此去发现问题,提出可以研究的题材;学会了重视“特例分析”、数学概括和抽象方法;向华罗庚、许宝禄先生学到了“不怕计算”和“乐于计算”的习惯并乐于从计算中发现规律和提炼一般性公式.     

文化研究与言说者的身份嬗变

中国的文化研究不单是一个纯粹学理层面的问题，它与言说者的文化身份密切相关。在文化研究的译介过程中明显存在着“中国与西方”二元对立的思维模式。在对文化工业批判中建立了文化研究的“边缘文化身份”；文化研究中的现代性、历史主义立场初步建构了其“混合文化身份”；阶级分析、政治经济学分析的回潮形成了“重构文化身份”。文化研究及其言说者的身份嬗变还远远没有结束，文化研究的文化身份是一个开放的结构。今天的文化研究者必须首先对自己的文化身份进行深刻的反思，然后才有可能对文化研究及其文化身份有清醒的自觉。     

‘You can’t see for lookin’’: how southern womanism informs perspectives of work and curriculum theory

ABSTRACT

Southern womanism is the theory that evokes a self-reflexive process to challenge scholars, teachers, and activists to reconceptualise the agency of ‘workers.’ Southern womanism claims that theoretical knowledge resides within the histories of southern Black women workers which developed as they transitioned from enslavement to domestic work to birthing a generation of African ascendant scholars and artists. Within their work is the theoretical possibility of exploring these women as agential subjects whose intellectual history is found in the intersections of region, regional identity, race, gender, sexuality, nature, art, food, and spirituality.     

合作学习法在课外学习中的应用

合作学习就是通过教师指导的小组活动让学生相互合作、共同完成学习任务。本文介绍了合作学习法的组成因素。作者将合作法应用到学生的课外自主学习当中,同时设计了“每月讨论”和“双人研究”两项学习任务。文章讨论了合作学习实施步骤和实现情况,并针对学生的报告反馈和教师的反思对合作法在英语学习中的运用进行了讨论。
