是褒扬“十六大”还是包装“生产力价值论”——再与胡义成先生商榷

我党提出要深入研究和探讨马克思的价值理论,是强调谱写新的理论篇章,是强调要用发展着的马克思主义指导当前的改革开放;十六大报告强调尊重劳动、知识、人才和创造,旨在调动一切积极因素,绝不是对劳动创造价值这一根本观点的否定;社会财富的源泉不等于就是价值的源泉,在价值源泉问题上劳动具有排他性,但在价值形成和价值分配问题上则不然;马克思《资本论》的学术价值以及它对全世界工人阶级解放事业的伟大作用,不容贬低和诋毁;地球上所有的财富和一切商品的价值,从古至今只能靠劳动来创造,非劳动主体创造使用价值和非一般人类劳动成为价值源泉的说教,纯属天方夜谭。     

用正确的评价激励学生走向成功

为了激励学生走向成功,要学习和研究新课程标准和教改实验区的先进经验,确立新的正确评价理念,引导家长改变子女成材观,重视形成性的评价作用,尝试评价内容的多元化,以及开展多主体评价和建立学生档案柜等。     

Chinese award-winning tutors’ perceptions and practices of classroom-based assessment

This study examines Chinese tertiary award-winning tutors’ perceptions and reported practices of classroom-based assessment. Seventeen tutors in the final stage of a national university teaching contest were individually interviewed. An interview framework was developed using three process dimensions of assessment for learning (AfL). A sequential and iterative analysis of resulting data was conducted based on Miles and Huberman’s protocols for qualitative analysis. Participants demonstrated a complex set of connections between perceptions and practices around issues of sharing standards, delivering feedback and response to external assessments. Results deviate from widely promoted principles of AfL and classroom-based assessment espoused in the international literature; in doing so, they challenge existing research and assumptions about the standardised and international nature of award-winning instructors’ assessment practices. Findings are discussed in relationship to understanding best practices in tertiary assessment, given emerging tertiary education markets. Practical implications for the further development of learning and assessment practices and theoretical implications for the AfL theory are also discussed.     

近十年国际高等教育评估研究的现状、热点及趋势

《高等教育评估与评价》(Assessment&Evaluation in Higher Education)作为唯一被SSCI收录的高等教育评估期刊,具有很大的学术影响力。以该期刊近十年来的载文为研究对象,运用CiteSpace文献计量软件分析国际高等教育评估的高影响力作者群体、研究热点、知识基础和前沿领域。研究结果表明:我国高等教育评估研究者的国际影响力逐步扩大;强调学生在评估中的参与度、关注反馈在评估中的地位以及重视教与学微观层面的评估为国际高等教育评估的三大研究热点;学生评教以及评估设计将是未来一段时间国际高等教育评估的前沿领域。     

庭审英语新闻报道中模糊限制语及其语用功能探析

新闻报道者常常借助于模糊限制语来客观、公正、准确地报道法庭审理的过程及结果。数据分析证明,庭审英语新闻报道中间接缓和型和范围变动型模糊限制语使用较多,主要是因为不同类别模糊限制语语用功能不同,如使用缓和型模糊限制语使报道更客观,更能委婉陈述作者观点等等。     

Fluid reasoning,working memory and planning ability in assessment of risk for mathematical difficulties

ABSTRACT

The demands on mathematical problem-solving have increased in almost all school systems internationally and may constitute a barrier for children with special educational needs (SEN). This study explored the role of fluid reasoning (FR), working memory (WM) and complex executive function of planning (EF) in children (N = 62) referred for assessment of SEN, and specifically of risk for mathematical difficulties (MD). Performances on FR, WM and complex EF of planning were used to predict risk for MD. Results showed that planning ability predicted children at risk for MD, beyond FR or WM ability, when comparing with children not at risk for MD. It was concluded that assessing the complex EF of planning in addition to FR and WM ability is crucial in identifying children at risk for MD. The importance of understanding how planning ability affects children’s mathematical problem-solving is discussed, in relation to assessment and teaching practices.     

Validating a computerized scoring system for assessing writing and placing students in composition courses

How do scores from writing samples generated by computerized essay scorers compare to those generated by “untrained” human scorers and what combination of scores, if any, is more accurate at placing students in composition courses? This study endeavored to answer this two-part question by evaluating the correspondence between writing sample scores generated by the IntelliMetric™ automated scoring system and scores generated by University Preparation English faculty, as well as examining the predictive validity of both the automated and human scores. The results revealed significant correlations between the faculty scores and the IntelliMetric™ scores of the ACCUPLACER™ OnLine WritePlacer Plus test. Moreover, logistic regression models that utilized the IntelliMetric™ scores and average faculty scores were more accurate at placing students (77% overall correct placement rate) than were models incorporating only the average faculty score or the IntelliMetric™ scores.     

Assessment of Cooperative Learning: A Goal-Criterion Approach

The problem of assessment of non-traditional teaching techniques has long challenged educational administrators and faculty. The approach to assessment that we followed in this instance employed a model that we developed to assess group learning, variously known as cooperative learning, collaborative learning, or team learning. We applied the model to group-based case study courses that included innovative enhancements such as group exams and group-based role-play. The model required balanced representation among multiple learning criteria arranged in six goal-criterion sets, all drawn from the literature on group learning. We designed a test instrument based on the model and administered the instrument to 85 students near the end of three business strategy courses. Imbalances among criteria in the six goal-criterion sets helped identify and correct weaknesses in course design and in methods of instruction.     

紧紧把握与时俱进这一精髓--学习党的十六大报告的哲学思考

江泽民同志关于“马克思主义具有与时俱进的理论品质”这一崭新的哲学命题，是对马克思主义基本特征的科学概括。坚持解放思想、实事求是、与时俱进是党的十六大报告的精髓。我们学习贯彻十六大精神，必须紧紧把握这一精髓。
