Emerging Attributes of Pedagogy and Curriculum for the “New World Order”

This article is a conceptual one designed to start dialogue on educational issues that are unfolding amidst the changes in other sectors of our society such as production, services, and recreation. We first present an overview of the fundamental but profound changes evidenced in our society and then discuss the nature of these changes and their impact on human ability to function effectively within such an environment. In light of the complexities such as uncertainties and dualistic/multiple perspectives and incongruities, we propose that a model for pedagogy and curriculum development should adopt critical thinking as the key attribute—because it has the potential to deliver an education system for the new world order.

The Reflection-Informed Learning and Instruction to Improve Students’ Academic Success in Undergraduate Classrooms

Abstract

This study addressed the role of the reflection-informed learning and instruction (RILI) model on students’ academic success by using CourseMIRROR mobile system. We hypothesized that prompting students to reflect on confusing concepts stimulates their self-monitoring activities according to which students are expected to review their understanding, search for related knowledge, and try to identify the confusing concepts. With this student-reflection information, instructors can thus address students’ difficulties effectively, which can lead to enhanced academic success. We tested our hypothesis by conducting a semester-long quasi-experimental study in undergraduate industrial engineering classes (N?=?153). The analyses revealed that students in the RILI condition performed significantly better than students in the control condition (Cohen’s d = .82). In addition, reflection analysis showed that both quality and quantity of reflections were significantly associated with exam performance. Surveys indicated users highly valued the RIFI model; they rated CourseMIRROR favorably and said they would continue to use it in future classes.

罗兰·巴特与索绪尔：文化意指分析基本模式的形成

符号学已经成为意识形态批判的基本方法。符号学固有的特征是社会集体性,而意识形态则是一种集体意识和集体表象,是一种意指形式,因此,以符号学模式分析意识形态,可以说是天造地设。索绪尔曾把语言区分为整体语言/个体语言(社会性/个体性),以符号学为准绳,确定整体语言为语言学研究对象,因为它具有社会集体性;叶尔姆斯列夫则以图式/习用替代索绪尔的整体语言/个体语言,认为图式、习用两者均具社会性;罗兰·巴特经由叶尔姆斯列夫这一环节———语言的图式/习用支配着符号的结构、运作和意义,从而颠倒了索绪尔的语言学是符号学一部分的理论,改变为符号学是语言学的一部分,也就是运用语言学模式———横组合关系和纵聚合关系,分析一切符号学事实,分析一切意指现象。其中句子是典型的横组合段。句子蕴含的完成力量以及句子本身的完整性,与意识形态的重复、固着及完成的特性是一致的,句子因此成为文化意指分析、意识形态分析的模型、渠道和对象。纵聚合关系则对含蓄意指的能指或所指作出分类。直接意指直显真实(语言的真实),它转移为含蓄意指的能指或所指,或者说含蓄意指的能指或所指负载、蕴含了直接意指。含蓄意指的所指当中的不变者或常数就是意识形态,它凭借自身负载、蕴含的直接意指实现意识形态的“天然性”、“真理性”的幻象。含蓄意指的能指的常数是修辞学,或者说修辞学呈现为意识形态的意指方面。含蓄意指的能指或修辞的手段或意识形态的意指面貌,是语义转变、偏离、扭曲。这是实现意识形态幻象和揭露意识形态幻象的途径。因此,文化意指分析本质上是意识形态研究和修辞学研究。     

When transnational curriculum policy reaches classrooms – teaching as directed exploration

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to explore how education policy that is both enabled and constrained by transnational policy flows and national policy built up by social, cultural and historical traditions are enacted through curriculum at the classroom level. The focus is on how policy rationality embedded in the structure and content of curriculum is transformed into certain rationalities in classroom teaching. By understanding lessons as ‘curriculum events’, the study reveals a dominant classroom discourse of recitation and similar triadic communication patterns, which is in accordance with other classroom studies. However, in the article it is argued that the version of teaching that emerges in this study, interpreted in a broader context of an international standards movement, can be understood in terms of directed exploration based on the teacher’s role as an explorer of what the students know, think and understand in relation to the acquisition of knowledge prescribed in the curriculum’s knowledge requirements. Even though the form of recitation is well known, the reason for choosing this teaching repertoire is somewhat new and can be related to the teacher authoring a basic oral text in accordance with assessment standards.     

八年级《物理》教材（人教版）编排顺序建议点滴

青少年接受和理解知识都有一定的年龄局限性，而不是飞跃性的．教学内容不能出现断层，而应该是循序渐进、逐步升华的．因此，笔者对八、九年级《物理》教材（人教版）部分内容的编排顺序重新做了调整．

法官道德与司法公正

法官道德是司法公正的必要条件之一,但二者之间又有诸多的联系,要想司法公正,法官道德是不可或缺的屏障,因此,对法官道德水准的要求至关重要。     

并列结构组成成分排序原则及原因初探

并列结构语序从纯语法上说其关系至关重要，是自由灵活的，但如果从语义和语用的角度看，又是相对固定的，排序时要受到多种原则的制约。汉语并列结构组成成分排序大致遵循如下原则：时空原则、感知原则、文化原则、语音原则、逻辑原则、语境原则、语言习惯等。这些排序原则是以认知心理、社会文化、语音特征、逻辑事理、约定俗成等多种因素为基础而形成的。
