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.     

人本主义课程范式及其超越探析

在科学主义课程范式的合理性面临挑战时人本主义课程范式应运而生。人本主义课程范式突出了人在课程中的应有之义,它对于释放人的主体性,促进其全面发展,乃至建构一个合理化的社会体制都有极大的帮助。然而,人本主义课程范式也存在瑕疵:过于重视个人和自我人本主义课程观从人性的角度出发追求自我的完善,从人本主义课程范式我们不难看出现代课程论的进步与局限。后现代课程研究正是对现代课程论研究的反省和超越产生的。笔者仅通过对生态主义课程范式探讨来揭示生态主义课程范式对人本主义课程范式的超越。     

新课改中教师与课改专家的困惑与合作

目前正在进行的新一轮课程改革深刻地影响着我国基础教育的所有领域。但是,任何一个新生事物的发展往往要经历曲折与磨难,以至于新课改在很多地区出现了一种“鸡肋效应”——对新课改,食之无味又弃之不甘,欲罢不能却举步维艰。好多学校采取聘请课改专家的方法向教师介绍课改的新理论,但收效甚微。究其原因,专家空谈理论,教师困惑,实践中不知所措。逐步兴起的教育随笔、教育叙事与教育网志或许会对上述情况有所改善。     

基于技能大赛的游艇设计与制造专业课程体系优化研究

对于游艇设计与制造专业来说,游艇行业的游艇设计大赛是权威的行业技能大赛。为了进一步明确专业方向,与游艇行业技能大赛接轨,需要对游艇设计与制造专业原有的课程体系进行优化研究。优化后的课程体系有助于提高教学水平和毕业生质量,同时可以为高职院校的内部质量保证体系和教学诊断与改进工作提供案例基础。     

计算机与幼儿园课程的整合

本文主要探讨了计算机整合于幼儿园课程的几个问题，包括怎样理解计算机整合于幼儿因课程的含义，将计算机整合于幼儿因课程的意义，以及整合的具体方式，并对整合过程中遇到的问题如教师自身的计算机基础、软件在课程整合中的作用等问题进行了简要探讨。     

美国“SEC”一致性分析范式的诠秤与启示——基础教育中评价与课程标准一致性的视角

美国在基于课程标准的教育改革以及学校教学要求偏低的现实背景下，致力于研制“SEC”（Surveys of Enacted Curriculum）等一致性分析范式，即分析评价与课程标准一致性程度的理念、程序和方法，推动了美国学校基于课程标准的评价实践。该范式对我国课程评价的启示在于：要认识到评价与课程标准一致性策略是调适课程运行偏差的重要手段；要立足本土化，研制评价与课程标准一致性分析的程序和方法。     

Issues in Adopting a Laserdisk-Based Science Curriculum

We examined the implementation of a laser-disk based science curriculum in an elementary school. The goal was to develop a richer understanding of the principles for designing a curriculum that will adequately support teachers in adopting a learner-centered framework. Issues included: who has ownership of the classroom discussion; what types of activities are engaged in terms of the constraints imposed; and what is the teacher's response to the specific tools provided (the teacher's guide, the Circle of Learning, and concept maps). In addition to looking at the implementation pattern, we also examined the impact of the implementation on student attitudes and anxiety toward science. Results indicated little adoption of the curriculum, and teachers continued to maintain a high degree of control in the classroom. However, results also indicated significant effects of the curriculum on science attitude and anxiety. Suggestions for future research are included.
