高校双语教学师资现状调查研究——以经管类双语教学示范课程为例

本文依托双语教育模式中的＂教师输入＂四要素以及双语教师素质四维度理论,以教育部2007—2009年经管类双语教学示范课程为样本,通过对其申报资料中与师资相关信息进行内容分析,调查其师资及建设现状。结果显示,样本课程的总体师资水平较高,正在形成良性发展的双语师资队伍建设机制。然而,调查也发现,双语师资建设也受到选拔条件有限、培训机会匮乏、科研素养薄弱以及质量监控缺位等不利因素的制约。

Situated Learning,the Secondary-Education Preservice/In-service Teacher,and the Taming of the Literacy Education Shrew

Abstract

Nine preservice and in-service teacher participants from four different content areas experienced shifts in their personal perspectives regarding integration of literacy in their subject-area instruction after completing a content-area literacy course. The course was positioned as professional development and used situated learning to provide extensive time for modeling, guided practice, discussion, and constructive feedback. Due to the course set-up and strategies thoroughly practiced, all teachers demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge of literacy strategies and how to incorporate them within their classrooms. Additionally, hands-on instruction and situated participation in a community of practice promoted all teachers’ desire to learn and eventual demonstration of learning.     

论门人弟子对孔子的助益

孔子有众多的门人弟子,他们各有各的特点、长处和优势。门人弟子在孔子生前和逝后对孔子多所助益,他们尊师重道,给孔子以精神鼓舞;他们照顾孔子日常起居生活,使孔子安心从事各种活动;他们维护孔子威信、宣传孔子,扩大孔门弟子集团,使孔门团结;他们提升孔子学问道德;他们慷慨资助、并跟随、保护孔子周游列国宣传思想学说;他们辅助孔子设坛教学、为政治国、整理典籍;他们践行孔子为政治国理念、传播孔子学说,发展儒家学派。门人弟子对孔子的助益是多方面的,是相当之大的,可以说没有这些助益孔子是不可能闻名当时,也难以蜚声后世的。一言以蔽之,孔子的炼成,儒家的形成,儒学的盛行,孔子门人弟子功莫大焉。

Needs assessment in STEM disciplines: reliability,validity and factor structure of the Student Support Needs Scale (SSNS)

Retention is a major problem in most colleges and universities. High dropout rates, especially in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), have proved intractable despite the offering of supplemental instruction. A broad model of support systems that includes psychological factors is needed to address retention in STEM fields. The purpose of our study was to develop an instrument to identify the support needs of college students. We adapted the theoretical model of the performance pyramid to create a 48-item measure called the Student Support Needs Scale. We examined the psychometric properties of our scale by subjecting the measure to a principal component analysis, which resulted in a robust 36-item, six-factor solution. Finally, we established the reliability and validity of the resulting instrument. Once student needs have been assessed using our scale, interventions may be tailored to the needs of a minority group, discipline, geographic area and/or institution. This instrument could help university programmes to make informed decisions about resource allocation based on students’ needs.     

Attitudes Toward Counseling Among Asian International and Native Caucasian Students

Asian international and native born Caucasian students indicated the source of help they would go to first if they had a personal problem; rated the importance of four counselor characteristics: ethnicity, university degree, age, and gender; and completed Fischer and Turner's scale of attitudes about seeking professional psychological help. There was no difference between Asian and Caucasian Students in the sources of help they would seek. Asian students indicated it was more important that a conselor be or similar ethnicity and older. There were no ethnic differences in attitudes toward professional help. Women were no ethnic differences in attituses toward professional help. Women were more likely to report indicate a need for help regardless of ethnic group. Caucasian women were more tolerant of the stigma of being a client, likely to report interpersonal openness, and to express confidence in mental health practitioners than Asian women or men form either group. Colleges should consider the use of older paraprofessional counselors of the same nationality as interantional student clients.
