What successful black South African students consider as factors of their success

Black South African students have a poor success rate in school leaving mathematics examinations. Attempts have been made to shift teachers' practices from teacher-centredness to learner-centredness, in Black schools, in order to improve the situation. So far, the attempts failed to yield the desired results. This paper reports on the findings of a study that aimed at learning from students and teachers in Black schools, as to what classroom practices lead to success in school mathematics, in their impoverished context.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

经世学派概说

经世学派试图通过提倡“经世之学”来挽救中国封建社会的末世或寻找社会发展的新的出路。他们揭露黑暗、评击时政、批判君主专制制度、关心国计民生，要求改革。相对当时清朝官方提倡的“宋学”和“汉学”，具有明显的积极意义和进步意义。特别是鸦片战争后，他们立足现实，开眼看世界，提出了“师夷之长技以制夷”的思想主张，开近代学术之风气，对后来的洋务思潮和资产阶级改良思潮的产生和发展都起到了发轫和启迪作用。     

Relating early childhood teachers’ working conditions and well-being to their turnover intentions

High turnover rates of early care and education teachers reduce the quality of education; unsatisfied teachers, suffering from stress or emotional exhaustion, are less equipped to promote children’s development and more likely to leave the classroom. We used data from a national survey of US early childhood educators (n?=?1129) to examine associations between teachers’ working conditions, well-being, and motivation with professional commitment and turnover intentions to move, leave, or remain. Multiple regression analyses revealed that more intrinsically motivated teachers were more likely to report intentions to move over leave, emotionally exhausted teachers were more likely to report intentions to leave, and lower teacher-reported working conditions predicted intentions to move or leave the field over staying. The results suggest that teachers’ well-being and perceived working conditions relate with their intentions to remain at their job or within the field and to their commitment to the profession.

《普通高中语文课程标准》评析——以叶圣陶阅读课程理论为视点

《普通高中语文课程标准》(实验稿)在强调加强阅读实践活动、学习并运用阅读策略与方法、培养“读解和欣赏的能力”及体会民族文化、培育民族精神等诸多方面继承并发展了叶圣陶的阅读课程理论,但在选文标准、选文种类、文言文阅读要求及情感态度培养等四个方面却与叶圣陶的阅读教学思想存在较大的差异。应该将叶圣陶的更多阅读教学思想融入到《普通高中语文课程标准》中,以增强其可操作性,从而使一直悬而未决的阅读课基本课程内容及其序列问题能尽早得以解决。     

中学美术学科的教学原则
