网络课程类别分析——基于互联网教育传播模型的分析视角

美国传播学者尼尔·伯兹曼认为,课程就是一个信息传播系统,因此,可以从教育传播模型的视角分析不同网络课程之间的差异。然而,传统的教育传播四要素模型在解释网络教育时存在很多缺陷。将德国学者托马斯·赫尔斯曼提出的ICT框架和教育传播四要素模型相结合。构建出一个包含五个要素的互联网教育传播模型。利用互联网教育传播模型分析当下几种主要的网络课程。常见的网络课程可以分为I类、C类、I＋C等三种主要类型;教学活动是影响学习者参与、影响网络教学质量的核心要素;由于班额和教师投入的差异．C类和I＋C类网络课程还可以进一步细分为一系列亚类,教学质量也有很大的差异。     

从网刊到新平台--“中国高校系列专业期刊”及其升级转型

“中国高校系列专业期刊”(“网刊”)上线出版已历十载,但迄今未见对这一期刊史现象的系统梳理,有必要对其理论脉络和实践进程作阶段性的回顾与反思。2011年春,为探索高校学报专业化、数字化、集约化转型的新路,部分高校学术期刊联合发起“中国高校系列专业期刊”,创办若干学科的专业网刊和跨学科的专题期刊,以开放获取方式在中国知网上线出版,因其模式创新以及对加盟刊传播的切实提升,引起期刊界和学界的关注和赞誉。随着期刊生存环境的变化,网刊发展进入瓶颈期,为探索新的出路,网刊发起者在2015年初提出“域出版”理念,自2018年起又与中国知网共同推动网刊升级转型。网刊升级转型为新平台,是网刊和“域出版”理念的延续,符合学术出版与传播的发展大势,值得期刊界和学界期待。     

学术论文网络首发的困境及其解决路径——基于中国知网学术期刊网络首发出版发布系统的分析

【目的】 探讨学术论文网络首发中存在的困境,并提出解决路径,为期刊编辑部提供参考。【方法】 在与传统出版流程对比的基础上,以中国知网学术期刊网络首发出版发布系统为研究对象,从期刊编辑部、作者、网络出版商和期刊管理部门的角度,分析学术论文网络首发过程中存在的困境,并寻找解决困境的方法。【结果】 学术论文网络首发的困境主要体现在:网络出版商、期刊编辑部和作者三者之间的利益之争,网络出版权及其利益的高度垄断制约着期刊的发展;期刊管理政策与网络首发的内在要求之间的不匹配;现代期刊编辑角色转型带来的编辑角色失调;首发论文的校对标准之争;网络首发论文的认证、引用、评价和撤稿问题;网络首发可能导致论文多个版本共存,容易引起阅读障碍;纸刊存在价值的争议。【结论】 要破解网络首发(网络出版)的困境,最终需要平衡网络出版商、编辑部和作者之间的利益;期刊编辑需要转变为全能编辑;建立基于单篇论文网络首发的期刊出版新模式;实行以网络首发或纸刊出版为最终出版模式的单轨制出版;国家改革网络首发模式下的期刊管理办法,重点监管网刊。     

在线印象管理视角：创新动机与创新绩效研究

企业创新活动逐渐由封闭走向开放,互联网品牌创新社区成为企业创新的重要场所。本文基于社会心理学的视角,以在线印象管理为核心概念,对用户创新参与动机、印象构建行为及对创新绩效的影响进行了研究。实证发现：追求知识共创动机和追求网络社交动机的社区成员,采用获得性印象管理行为的可能性显著大于采用保护性印象管理行为;追求社群认同动机的社区成员,采用保护性印象管理行为的可能性显著大于采用获得性印象管理行为。品牌创新社区成员的社龄长短对采纳印象管理行为产生影响。获得性印象管理行为较保护性印象管理行为对品牌创新社区的创新绩效有更正面的影响。本研究拓展了品牌创新社区用户研究的理论视角,也为企业识别在线用户创新参与动机,从而制定合适的激励机制以提升创新绩效提供了建设性的启示。     

COVID-19, digital privacy,and the social limits on data-focused public health responses

The implementation of digital contact tracing applications around the world to help reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic represents one of the most ambitious uses of massive-scale citizen data ever attempted. There is major divergence among nations, however, between a “privacy-first” approach which protects citizens’ data at the cost of extremely limited access for public health authorities and researchers, and a “data-first” approach which stores large amounts of data which, while of immeasurable value to epidemiologists and other researchers, may significantly intrude upon citizens’ privacy. The lack of a consensus on privacy protection in the contact tracing process creates risks of non-compliance or deliberate obfuscation from citizens who fear revealing private aspects of their lives – a factor greatly exacerbated by recent major scandals over online privacy and the illicit use of citizens’ digital information, which have heightened public consciousness of these issues and created significant new challenges for any collection of large-scale public data. While digital contact tracing for COVID-19 remains in its infancy, the lack of consensus around best practices for its implementation and for reassuring citizens of the protection of their privacy may already have impeded its capacity to contribute to the pandemic response.     

The emerging landscape of school-based professional learning communities in South Korean schools

Abstract

Over the last decade, school-based professional learning communities (PLCs) have emerged as a key feature of the education system in South Korea. To understand this relatively new phenomenon in the context of South Korea, we provide a review of research on school-based PLCs in South Korea and an empirical analysis of the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2008 with a focus on school-based PLCs. Based on our findings from the literature review and analysis of the TALIS, we aim to provide a fuller picture of the emerging landscape of school-based PLCs in South Korean schools. In so doing, we focus on what constitutes school-based PLCs in South Korean schools and how they are similar to and/or different from their counterparts in other countries. Implications for policy, practice, and research are discussed.     

‘Sitting alone in the staffroom contemplating my future’: communities of practice,legitimate peripheral participation and student teachers’ experiences of problematic school placements as guests

A recent Review of Teacher Education in Scotland reports that 23% of respondents (n = 2381) encountered variable or very poor school placement experiences. This paper uses Lave and Wenger’s ideas concerning Communities of Practice (1998) and Legitimate Peripheral Participation (1991) as analytical tools with which to understand the nature and impact of student teachers’ problematic experiences of school placement. A total of 14 Professional Graduate Diploma in Education students on a one-year Secondary English course were followed through the practice elements of their Initial Teacher Education programme and data were constructed from learning logs and semi-structured interviews. Analysis provided a nuanced account of the student teachers’ difficulties in attaining member status as Legitimate Peripheral Participants in communities of practising teachers, with the concepts ‘joint enterprise’, ‘mutual engagement’ and ‘shared repertoire’ being found to be useful in explaining these difficulties. Limitations in the theoretical framework were also discovered and these are highlighted and developed in the paper.     

Preservice teachers’ learning with Yuin Country: becoming respectful teachers in Aboriginal education

The ownership of Aboriginal knowledge and the Aboriginal perspective presented in school curriculum is always with Country. A number of preservice teachers were taken to a sacred story, “Gulaga a Living Spiritual Mountain,” to participate in an elective subject to engage in respectful reciprocal relationship with Country. The spirituality of Country is unknown to many preservice teachers, consequently the concept of Country as teacher in a respectful reciprocal relationship was unfamiliar. Engaging in Aboriginal ways of knowing, learning, and behaving provides an opportunity for preservice teachers to initiate a relationship with Country to respectfully implement Aboriginal perspectives in their own teaching. This article not only examines how preservice teachers developed a relationship with Country, but also importantly demonstrates how a relationship between Country, researcher, all the participants, and the research can inform respectful behaviour in reculturalising Aboriginal perspectives.     

A community of practice as an inclusive model to support children with social,emotional and behavioural difficulties in school contexts

Many school children throughout the world who exhibit antisocial or destructive behaviour or have social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) do not receive the support they need. As a result, they are caught up in a cycle of vulnerability. Systemic collaborative support is needed to counter this. Although in some cases teachers and other professionals join forces, interventions are usually affected by individual professionals outside the framework of inclusive education. This literature review paper explores the support children with SEBD in school contexts receive. The findings of the thematic document analysis highlight the vulnerability of children with SEBD, the success or otherwise of attempts made by various approaches and intervention programmes to provide support to these children, and the barriers to inclusive support. We argue the merits of adopting a Community of Practice as an inclusive model to support school children with SEBD. This kind of inclusive model strengthens constructive partnerships that provide these children with opportunities to acquire the social capital they need to engage meaningfully at schools and in their future life.     

What makes a skilled writer? Working memory and audience awareness during text composition

This study investigated the role of working memory capacity as a factor for individual differences in the ability to compose a text with communicative efficiency based on audience awareness. We analyzed its differential effects on the dynamics of the writing processes, as well as on the content of the finished product. Twenty-five graduate students composed a procedural text explaining how to assemble a model turbine. They were free to consult a documentary source, featuring captioned pictures of turbine parts and assembly steps, at any time. Graphomotor and eye movements were recorded using ‘Eye and Pen’ software with an eye-tracker and digitizing tablet. Results showed that high WM capacity writers used a different strategy to explore the visual source, making longer writing pauses and producing more detailed procedures, and achieved the communicative goal more efficiently, by introducing more reader supports. In conclusion, we discuss the feasibility of audience awareness training.
