基于系统动力学的在线学习投入度影响研究——学习生态观视角

为全面系统分析在线学习投入度影响因素,提升学习者在线学习质量,从学习生态观视角出发,使用系统动力学方法,构建学习者在线学习投入度影响因素系统动力学模型。采用层次分析法对模型进行仿真分析,结果显示：教学环境、社会交互环境、情感心理环境对学习者在线学习投入影响较强,物理环境和制度规范环境影响较弱。进一步分析表明,教学活动设计、与教师交互和情感体验是影响在线学习投入的高杠杆因素。从精心设计教学活动,优化教学环境;发挥教师主导作用,构造多边良性循环的社会交互环境;增强学习者情感体验,构建各子系统协同共建的情感心理环境等方面着手,致力于提升学习者在线学习质量,能促进在线学习系统平衡、协调和可持续发展。     

社会支持与幼儿园教师留职意向的关系:组织公平感和工作投入的序列中介效应

社会支持是幼儿园教师应对职业压力的重要心理资源。为探讨幼儿园教师社会支持与留职意向的关系以及组织公平感与工作投入在二者关系中的作用,本研究选取了宁夏回族自治区1693名幼儿园教师为研究对象,采用社会支持量表、留职意向量表、组织公平感量表和工作投入量表进行测量。结果发现幼儿园教师的留职意向总体较好;社会支持和留职意向在教龄、园所性质、园所地域上存在显著差异,其中16年及以上教龄、公立幼儿园、村镇幼儿园教师的社会支持较高,留职意向也显著较高;社会支持、组织公平感、工作投入和留职意向两两显著正相关;社会支持对留职意向有显著的正向预测作用;组织公平感和工作投入在社会支持和留职意向之间起中介作用。具体而言,社会支持通过三条路径影响幼儿园教师留职意向,一是组织公平感的单独中介作用,二是工作投入的单独中介作用,三是组织公平感和工作投入的序列中介作用。为提高幼儿园教师的留职意向,应通过学前教育立法强化制度供给,切实改善幼儿园教师的社会地位与薪资待遇;通过文化和制度建设营造公平、公开、透明的组织环境;通过在职培训支持教师加强自身心理建设,引导教师客观看待问题,形成现实合理的期待,发展积极乐观的态度,主动增加工作投入。     

Transforming the College through Technology: A Change of Culture

In this article we address the implementation of sustainable technological change among the faculty, staff, and students in the College of Education and Human Services at a mid-western urban institution. We examine cultural factors common to institutions of higher education and then describe particular planning and implementation processes employed at one institution to move faculty and staff from a state of minimal technology use to one of substantial technological competence over a period of years. The process turns out to be robust and stable despite growth over time. We conclude with recommendations for other educational institutions facing similar needs for cultural change in the use of technology. James A. McLoughlin has been Dean of the College of Education and Human Services at Cleveland State University since 1995 and Interim Provost from 2000 to 2001; he received his Ph.D. in Special Education from the University of Arizona. Lih-Ching Chen Wang is a Fulbright Scholar. She is currently an Associate Professor of Education in the Department of Curriculum and Foundations at Cleveland State University. Her work focuses on the integration of technology into teacher education. She holds a Ph.D. in Instructional Technology from Kent State University. William A. Beasley is a Professor of Education who specializes in Educational Technology and runs the Center for Teaching Excellence at Cleveland State University. He holds an Ed. D. in Gifted Education from the University of Georgia.     

自识与明辨——关于教育学者参与学校变革的前提性反思

教育学者参与学校变革,将面临更大的开放性和不确定性,因而也将面临更多的风险与挑战。因此,教育学者必须对自身的学术素养和心理准备等保持清醒的自识,对教育实践生态进行准确判断,并且通过尝试性接洽对教育研究与教育实践之间的合作可能性以及合作空间进行明辨。     

A Grounded Theory of Counselor Educators' Academic Leadership Development

Counselor educators are well‐equipped to serve as academic leaders, yet little is known about what factors influence their engagement experiences. This grounded theory provides a theoretical model of academic leadership engagement based on interviews with 20 counselor educators with academic leadership experience. Implications for facilitating academic leadership engagement are provided.     

Teacher support and academic engagement among EFL learners: The role of positive academic emotions

Academic engagement and teacher support, as two important factors in education, have been largely neglected in the research literature of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and applied linguistics. Given the facilitative role of positive emotions in learning processes, this study aimed to examine their mediating role in the relationship between teacher support and academic engagement among Iranian EFL learners. The participants were 435 EFL freshmen randomly selected via multi-stage cluster sampling. The data were collected through previously validated measures. The results of structural equation modelling showed that perceived teacher support could directly and positively affect academic engagement. Additionally, positive emotions mediated the relationship between teacher support and academic engagement. Finally, some important implications and suggestions for further research are presented.     

可见的大学教学:内涵、特征与实践

传统的大学教学是在“传递—接受”框架中建构的,其最突出问题就是学生参与度低及知能内化不足。通过观察法及实物收集法发现:学生参与度低的现象是将学生客体化和边缘化,掩盖了质量危机的真正根源。本质上,学生表达的是对传统大学教学遮蔽了可见品性的抗拒与摒弃。为克服传统教学的弊端,可见的大学教学应运而生,其主张“互学共创共成长”的师生观,包含“看见、遇见、听见及预见”四层含义,典型特征表现在三个方面:学习者成为师生的共同身份,教、学及学习环境的相互可见成为教学的基本规范,学生热情参与及知识素质能力内化成为师生的共同追求。可见的大学教学提供了新的大学教学范式和方法论原则,在实践基础上还原了教育的本真,可为大学教学质量提升提供新的视角。     

小学生数学学习投入水平的测评与提升

数学学习投入是指学生在数学学习过程中,采取深度学习策略和元认知策略,积极参与课内外数学学业活动,与他人结成深度交往关系,并伴随着积极的情感体验的一种学习活动。以"认知投入—情感投入—行为投入"结构为数学学习投入的测量框架,采取已有的成熟量表调查武汉市两所小学四、五年级共424名小学生的数学学习投入状况,研究发现:小学生数学学习投入总体状况较好,但在各维度和指标上的发展水平不均衡;数学学习行为投入得分最高,认知投入得分最低;性别和年级上差异显著,男生的数学学习投入度高于女生;家庭、学校、班级、教师、同伴等社会性因素影响小学生的数学学习投入水平。为此,学校、家长、教师应协作支持学生的数学学习,认识学习投入各维度和指标的重要性,消弭男女生数学学习的性别偏见、性别定势和班级差异,判定和反思小学生目前数学学习投入的类别,弥补学习投入类别的短板。     

Developing Social Media to Engage and Connect at the University of Liverpool Library

ABSTRACT

This case study presents the Liverpool experience of using social media as an academic library to enhance audience engagement and create a community of users. It looks at the development of social media in the library, focusing on the concerted effort to grow followers and develop a meaningful use of these tools. It considers the value of taking a team approach, ensuring a diversity and breadth of output. Using social media effectively enables libraries to connect with users in a space they already occupy and bring added value to existing activities. A strong, well maintained social media presence enhances a library's national and international profile and ensures good on campus relationships with main stakeholders. This case study demonstrates the relevance of social media as a communication channel and the importance of selecting the correct platform depending on audience or aims. A literature review and recommendations based on experience are included.
