Developing children's conceptual understanding of area measurement: A curriculum and teaching experiment

The present study examined the effectiveness of three instructional treatments which had different combinations of mathematical elements regarding 2-dimensional (2-D) geometry and area measurement for developing 4th-grade children's understanding of the formulas for area measurement and their ability to solve area measurement problems. Participants were 120 fourth graders. The results showed that the enriched curriculum, involving the geometry motions and area measurement connections effectively facilitated children's mathematical judgments and explanations demanding high-level conceptual understanding. The instructional curricula accentuating only 2-D geometry or numerical calculations for area measurement did not exhibit such effectiveness. Interview data revealed that the geometric operations of superimposition, decomposition, re-composition as well as the concept of congruence were deemed essential by children for the conceptualization of the formulas for area measurement.     

Encouraging Future Helping Behaviors: The Role of Student-Faculty Relationships in Higher Education Marketing

ABSTRACT

Extant literature on relationship marketing tends to focus on for-profit firms and their relationships with important stakeholders. However, higher education institutions face many of the same intense competitive forces that have made relationship marketing a practical choice for many for-profit firms. Therefore, it is not surprising that many are adopting relationship marketing strategies. In the context of higher education marketing, we examine the nature of the student-faculty relationship development process and its affect on helpfulness, which we define as a “state of mind” conducive to future helping behavior. Drawing on relationship marketing theory and identity theory, we posit that trust, relationship commitment, and identity salience are key mediating variables between three antecedent variables (shared values, communication, and opportunistic behavior) and helpfulness. Our results provide support for the roles hypothesized for trust, relationship commitment, and identity salience.     

初中数学教师教学观念与教学行为的落差分析--基于十五节初中数学课堂教学录像的分析

教学观念是关于教学的看法和思想,是人们思考教学问题获得的结果。课程改革以来,广大初中数学教师积极学习课程标准所倡导的教学理念,并逐步内化为自己的教学观念,指导自己的课堂教学行为。但鉴于教学观念与教学行为之间的落差,导致课堂教学产生不少问题。调查初中数学教师对教学理念的认可程度以及对教学行为的自我评价,找出教学观念与教学行为之间的差距,以及这种差距在课堂教学中的具体体现。为此,在教学中教师应注意：（1）设计教学目标的同时,要设计与其相适应的教学内容、教学过程和教学策略;（2）自主探究教学要保证学生有充分的探究时间;（3）尝试多给学生自主学习的机会,多进行个别指导,真正实现以学生为主体;（4）以学生的认知特点和认知水平为基准,精选教学内容。     

中职生教育技棚

由于特殊的生源构成,中职生的课堂存在较多的问题行为已是不争的事实。职业学校要创造一个和谐、有序和高效的课堂氛围相对较难。本文结合中职生的特点,根据课堂问题行为控制的实际情况,采用情景案例分析和课堂观察的方法,探讨有效解决课堂问题行为的规范控制策略,以期能为教育教学实践提供一些可操作性的参考．     

数字鸿沟的危害性及其跨越策略

数字鸿沟将进一步加剧贫富分化,威胁国家安全乃至全球政治经济的稳定,威胁世界文化财富和语言的多样性,剥夺一些人参与社会活动的权利。应调动一切可以调动的力量,携手解决这个问题。要加快发展中国家和农村的通信基础设施建设;在通信技术的研究开发中,优先考虑缩小数字鸿沟的技术;要全面提高教育水平,普及信息技术教育。

Tool for Assessing Responsibility-Based Education (TARE): Instrument Development,Content Validity,and Inter-Rater Reliability

Numerous scholars have stressed the importance of personal and social responsibility in physical activity settings; however, there is a lack of instrumentation to study the implementation of responsibility-based teaching strategies. The development, content validity, and initial inter-rater reliability testing of the Tool for Assessing Responsibility-Based Education (TARE) are described here. Inter-rater agreement was calculated for paired observations focused on 2 different teachers delivering a total of 18 separate physical education lessons for students in grades 1 through 6. Findings indicate that the Tool for Assessing Responsibility-Based Education provides scores with adequate inter-rater reliability. The procedures employed in this study proved feasible and enable observers to characterize the implementation of responsibility-based teaching in physical education. The Tool for Assessing Responsibility-Based Education has numerous research and training applications relative to the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility model (Hellison, 2003 Hellison, D. 2003. Teaching responsibility through physical activity, 2nd, 15–38. Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics.  [Google Scholar]) and the national content standards for K–12 physical education, specifically Standard 5: Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity settings (National Association for Sport and Physical Education, 2004 National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE). 2004. Moving into the future. National standards for physical education, 2nd, 39–43. Reston, VA: Author.  [Google Scholar]).     

Literature Searching in Medical Education: Online Tutorial Development from Idea to Creation

The medical education literature is growing, and the result is not only greater knowledge, but an increasing complexity in locating quality evidence-based information. In 2008, eight librarians partnered with the Association of American Medical Colleges to research, conceptualize, and build an online module to develop medical educators’ search skills. Developing an online instructional module is a time-consuming, multi-stage process requiring the expertise of content, technical, and design specialists working in concert. Many lessons were learned, including the power of collaborative tools; the benefits of including specialists, such as graphic designers; the benefit of thoroughly surveying existing resources; and the importance of choosing technology wisely.
