对高校本科教学工作水平评估方案与高校图书馆新规程的评析

作为共同指导和规范高校图书馆工作及其关系的《普通高等学校本科教学水平评估方案（试行）》,其中对图书馆评估的指标体系与《普通高等学校图书馆规程（修订）》之间应是竟合,而不应不和谐。文章针对《方案》与《规程》不和谐的事实,分析了产生不和谐的原因及法律后果,提出了解决办法。     

论对学生评教的合理定位

学生评教是当前各高校普遍采用的一项旨在保障课堂教学质量的重要措施。有赞成者对其推崇备至,也有反对者对其大加鞭挞。问题的关键在于对学生评教的合理定位。事实上,学生评教的合理性和它的限度蕴涵着“半杯水”哲学。     

应用型本科《计算机网络》课程教学改革初探

《计算机网络》是电子信息类专业的一门重要专业课程,作者近几年在对本科学生讲授该课程时进行了一些改革和探索,取得了良好的教学效果。本文围绕应用型本科《计算机网络》课程的教学目标,从理论教学、实践教学(包括网络硬件实验和软件仿真实训)以及通信网络管理员职业技术资格培训等多方面,对《计算机网络》课程的教学进行了总结分析,强调理论与实践一体化教学和软件仿真实训在该课程教学中的重要地位。     

“以教师为中心”教学方式的中美比较研究——基于中美PISA数据的分析

根据PISA数据库2018年的数据,在基础教育阶段中国和美国都存在"以教师为中心"的教学方式且美国教师的应用频率较低。分析显示,教学支持与以教师为中心的教学有显著相关关系,"以教师为中心"的教学在一定程度上削弱了学生的幸福感。但是,"以教师为中心"的方式也可以产生高质量的课堂教学,如经常和学生讨论问题、在教学过程中表达教师自己的理解、适当地给学生提出的观点以支持等。同时,学校应该关注到教学方式对学生幸福感的影响,鼓励教师组合使用各种教学方式,开展"以学生为中心"的教学,由此对学生幸福感产生积极影响,实现从"以教师为中心"到"以学生为中心"的有效转变。

Teaching skills of student teachers: Calibration of an evaluation instrument and its value in predicting student academic engagement

Student teachers are expected to develop their teaching skills sooner and more rapidly. However, a sound evaluation instrument that can be used to diagnose and monitor the skilfulness level to aid formative assessment of student teachers is still limited. This article is aimed to calibrate and validate a teaching skill evaluation instrument for use in secondary education. A total of 264 student teachers in the Netherlands participated in the study. Rasch and multilevel analyses were used. Results suggest that the evaluation instrument meets the restrictive assumptions of the Rasch model and has predictive value for academic engagement. This adds validation evidence and justifies the calibration of the evaluation instrument to be used for monitoring the development of teacher's teaching skills.     

Business Intelligence Capabilities and Firm Performance: A Study in China

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology expands the boundary of business practice, inducing the emergence and application of business intelligence (BI) that has promoted the transformation of information techniques to optimize business decision and operation. However, there is a lack of theoretical consensus and measurement of the technology embedded in BI at present. This study exploratively develops the Sense-Transform-Drive (STD) conceptual model of BI based on dynamic capabilities theory and organizational evolutionary theory to explain the core BI capabilities. By using factoring analysis and structural equation modeling analysis, we extract the latent constructs and empirically verify the validity of the STD model and further examine the correlation and mode of interaction of the three core BI capabilities and the impact of BI application on firm performance in the real economy with a sample contextual to Chinese business practices. The study results show that there are direct and high-intensity cumulative positive effects among the structural components of the STD conceptual model and BI-related dynamic capabilities can enhance operating efficiency and firm performance.     

Increasing engagement of students with learning disabilities in mathematical problem‐solving and discussion

Engagement in problem‐solving and mathematical discussion is critical for learning mathematics. This research review describes a gap in the literature surrounding engagement of students with Learning Disabilities in standards‐based mathematical classrooms. Taking a sociocultural view of engagement as participation in mathematical practices, this review found that students with LD were supported towards equal engagement in standards‐based mathematics through multi‐modal curriculum, consistent routines for problem‐solving, and teachers trained in Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching. Using this small set of studies (7), we identify the need to deepen the engagement of students with LD in mathematical problem‐solving and discussion. This review concludes with implications for teaching and learning.     

School context and instructional capacity: A comparative study of professional learning communities in rural and urban schools in China

This study examines the teaching gap between rural and urban schools in China from the perspective of teacher professional learning communities (PLCs). Drawing on in-depth interviews with 36 primary school teachers, the study finds striking disparities between rural and urban schools in the working of Teaching and Research Groups (TRGs). These disparities in TRGs result in divergent patterns of instructional capacity building in rural and urban schools. The evidence shows that teaching and teachers are strongly shaped by the school organizational context. It suggests that strengthening school-wide PLCs is an important way of narrowing the rural-urban teaching and learning gaps.
