Playful fostering of 6- to 8-year-old students’ inductive reasoning

This paper focuses on a training program in inductive reasoning for first-grade students and presents the direct results as well as the longitudinal effects of the evaluation study. The training is based on Klauer's theory of inductive reasoning and on his “Cognitive training for children” concept (Klauer, 1989a). The training program consists of 120 problems which can be solved through inductive reasoning. The tools for the training exercises were selected to correspond with the age of the targeted cohort. The experimental group in the study consisted of 90 students, whereas the control group was made up of 162. An inductive reasoning test was used in the pre- and posttest as well as in the follow-up study (one year later). The test comprised 33 figural, non-verbal items (Cronbach α = .86). On the posttest, the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group by more than one standard deviation. The experimental group scored significantly higher in each skill area targeted by the training. The most noticeable development was found in system formation. No gender differences were detected on the pre- or the posttest. The effect size of the training program was d = 1.12. In the follow-up study, the experimental group still significantly outperformed the control group; however, their respective levels of development had not changed in this one-year period. Thus, the training effect proved to be stable over time independent of individual students’ original level of inductive reasoning. This study provided evidence that inductive reasoning could be developed very effectively at this early age.     

中小学生学习能力的内涵及培养策略

从教学实践的视角阐述了学习能力的内涵和结构,认为学习能力由基本学习能力和自主学习能力构成,并提出实现二者转化的三种培养策略,即学习主体的角色转变策略、信息能力的提升策略和学习动机的激发策略。     

中小学教师信息技术应用能力现状及培训建议

信息技术能力已成为信息化社会教师必备的专业能力,2014年6月,教育部颁布了《中小学教师信息技术应用能力标准(试行)》,开启了中小学教师新一轮信息技术应用能力提升培训。为了了解现阶段中小学教师信息技术应用能力水平,为能力提升培训的实施提供依据。该文以湖北、河南、安徽和广西四个省市中35个市区的414名中小学教师为调研对象,从标准的角度对其信息化应用能力现状开展较为全面的调研。结果表明中小学教师应用信息技术优化课堂教学能力的达标情况优于转变学习方式的能力。根据测评结果对中小学教师信息应用能力培训提出建议,也为我国推进信息化环境下教师队伍的建设提供借鉴。     

社区教育工作者培训需求调查分析——以广州市为例

社区教育工作者是社区教育的核心力量,其素养高低直接影响着社区教育的可持续发展。目前我国社区教育工作者来源多样、专业素质相对薄弱,开展社区教育工作者培训已迫在眉睫。而基于社区教育工作者的培训需求,探索有效的培训制度,是保证培训质量的重要基础。本研究对广州市4个区域的社区教育工作者进行随机取样,重点调查其培训需求,分析结果,梳理问题,并就社区教育人才培养提出思考。     

基于分类培养的课程教学设计与实施--以“跨境电商实训”为例

当前高校人才培养同质化与个人需要、社会需要之间产生了一些矛盾,引起企业招聘难、大学生就业难等问题,其深层次的原因是学校人才培养与行业需求脱节,因此分类培养的理念进入高校。基于分类培养的原则,在不采取分班教学的情况下,可以在课程设计上进行改革,同样能够实现分类培养目标。依托现有的教学资源,“跨境电商实训”课程根据继续深造型、创业型、就业型的学生做了分类设计,在教学时间、教学内容、教学过程方面都做了相应的细分,并且设置了不同的评价方案。分类培养的实施提高了学生的学习兴趣,提升了应用能力,值得在专业相关课程推广。

Growth influences biomechanical profile of talented swimmers during the summer break

This study aimed to analyse the effect of growth during a summer break on biomechanical profile of talented swimmers. Twenty-five young swimmers (12 boys and 13 girls) undertook several anthropometric and biomechanical tests at the end of the 2011–2012 season (pre-test) and 10 weeks later at the beginning of the 2012–2013 season (post-test). Height, arm span, hand surface area, and foot surface area were collected as anthropometric parameters, while stroke frequency, stroke length, stroke index, propelling efficiency, active drag, and active drag coefficient were considered as biomechanical variables. The mean swimming velocity during an all-out 25 m front crawl effort was used as the performance outcome. After the 10-week break, the swimmers were taller with an increased arm span, hand, and foot areas. Increases in stroke length, stroke index, propelling efficiency, and performance were also observed. Conversely, the stroke frequency, active drag, and drag coefficient remained unchanged. When controlling the effect of growth, no significant variation was determined on the biomechanical variables. The performance presented high associations with biomechanical and anthropometric parameters at pre-test and post-test, respectively. The results show that young talented swimmers still present biomechanical improvements after a 10-week break, which are mainly explained by their normal growth.
