Training boys with ADHD to work collaboratively: Social and learning outcomes

This study examined social participation and strategic problem solving behavior of boys diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when collaborating on a planning task with a trained peer partner. Twenty-four 9- to 13-year-old boys with ADHD who were receiving a medication intervention, were individually pre-tested to assess their initial ability to plan an errand route task. They were then observed doing an alternate planning task during collaborative sessions with a female peer partner who had received prior training in the task and in facilitating social interaction. Boys with ADHD were then individually post-tested on the original planning task. Observations of the collaborative sessions revealed significant, positive changes across three phases in the quality of social interactions by boys with ADHD, in their planning strategies, and planning efficiency. Findings suggest positive benefits of collaborative learning structures for boys with ADHD when they are placed in a collaborative learning setting with a partner who has received a prior training intervention.

体育校本课程开发现状与对策研究——以安徽省芜湖市为例

为了促进体育校本课程开发和学校体育发展,以安徽省芜湖市为例,对体育校本课程开发现状进行了调查分析。结果表明:有68%的体育教师对体育校本课程开发有一定的理解,92%的体育教师认同"体育教师应该成为课程的设计和建设者";仅有32%的学校进行了体育校本课程开发,明显低于其他学科开发率;影响体育校本课程开发的最主要因素是校领导和体育教师。     

论国家课程的校本化实施——以上海市育才中学为例

国家课程的校本化实施,不仅适合我国新课程改革的特点与需要,也符合学校作为一种学习型组织和教师作为一名专业工作者的基本教育假定。国家课程的校本化实施,一方面是由课程实施本身的二元特征所决定的;另一方面,也是由我国新课程改革本身的性质与特点决定的。国家课程的校本化实施,还有助于解决新课程改革＂实验—推广＂这一基本模式自身所存在的种种问题与弊端。本文将研究视角聚焦于国家课程的校本化实施问题,试图通过对样本学校个性化实施国家课程的基本思路与做法的详细描述,阐明国家课程校本化实施的基本思路、途径和所应该注意的问题。
