高职院校图书馆教育职能的内涵研究

高职院校图书馆由以前提供静态文献信息服务向多元、立体、复合、动态的信息教育转变。图书馆为师生提供的所有服务,是为了实现学校的教育目标。教育职能是图书馆存在的重要标志。高职院校图书馆要重新审视自身在学校教育教学中的地位和作用,修正自己的定位和建设思路,要更多更直接地参与学校的教育教学活动。     

观看国内外网络视频公开课的启示

近年来,一种新的教育传媒网络视频公开课越来越受到高校师生、白领的追捧。它是当下高等教育研究的热点,也是未来教育发展的大趋势。世界知名高校网络视频公开课的教育理念和教育模式已经逐步向我国渗透,极大地促进了我国视频公开课的建设和发展。笔者通过研究大量视频公开课,对中外网络视频公开课就课堂教学设计、师生行为分析、教学信息手段、视频录制制作等方面进行比较分析,以期对我国网络视频公开课建设有所启示和借鉴。     

汉语言文学本科专业外国文学课教学中的“立体模式”及其运用

目前高校《外国文学》课程教学应该从不同方面引入新的教学理念,拓展教学思路,以期形成立体式教学模式:在外国文学史讲授中融入文化史,注重经典文本的细读,将课堂讲授与课堂讨论、学术报告结合,带动学生的深度思考,同时运用网络交流平台提供资源,以便全面提升学生的学习能力和实际运用能力,适应人才培养和学科发展的需要。     

教育信息化资源发展战略研究

教育信息化资源是教育信息化系统工程中的一块基石,其中的软件资源建设正逐步成为教育信息化建设的重点内容。借鉴开放教育资源的分类标准,教育信息化软件资源可划分为“数字化教育内容”、“数字化工具性软件”、“数字化教育平台”三大部分。对比国内外的政策和案例可知,我国的资源建设存在质与量均不足、资源适用性不强及难以共享等问题。而从建设内容、建设方式、评价三方面来看,国际上则秉承“鼓励教学应用,以用促建”的建设思路,注重资源向普及化与个性化服务同步发展,关注整合资源的动态平台建设,同时倡导对资源的多样化评估。上述这些,对我国在开展教育信息化资源建设工作中强化应用导向具有重要意义。

Countering plutocracies: increasing autonomy and accountability through culturally relevant leadership

In urban school districts across the USA there are mandates to implement zero tolerance policies. As this occurs, there is an increasing number of students, specifically students of colour, who are being jettisoned out of the educative process. When school principals have little autonomy regarding how they handle disciplinary infractions within their schools, it becomes relatively easy for them to opt out of making tough decision. The authors assert that Culturally Relevant Leadership is a framework that, if applied correctly, can help school leaders reduce the multiple school suspensions and expulsions that are occurring among students of colour.     

Interrogating conceptions of leadership: school principals,policy and paradox

Currently educational research literature demonstrates wide discussion and endorsement of ‘distributed’ leadership while concurrently traditional, hegemonic forms prevail in practice. This article investigates understandings about educational leadership held by Australian school principals. The article describes the contradictory conceptions about educational leadership currently in circulation. It interrogates underlying assumptions and questions how both hegemonic and newer leadership conceptions and assumptions serve educational leaders. Data from principals around the country and across education systems reinforced the predominance of un-theorised or under-theorised notions about leadership, with similar assumptions found in important policy artefacts and practices. This article emerges from interviews with 100 principals focusing on their professional learning needs, which revealed interesting ideas, issues and dilemmas concerning ‘leadership’. It fills a gap in research on distributed leadership by exploring contradictions inherent in policy, practice and understandings in this area. The article is structured into four sections. First, extant literature on this topic and the research are explained. Second, the article focuses on principals' conceptions about leadership and those inherent within important policy and practical artefacts. A discussion of the findings focuses on the discrepancy between theory and policy endorsement and the views of practitioners. Finally, the article canvasses the implications of the research.     

Neoliberalism,education and the integration of ICT in schools. A critical reading

This article explores a contemporary perspective of education that aims to radically re-construct schools through the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT). Through the analysis of key texts produced by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, leading ICT industries, and international educational researchers, the article looks at the apparently neutral and desirable regime of truth surrounding education, where concrete problems are created and certain solutions provided. The findings discuss how the integration of ICT in schools is embedded in a perspective of education based on: new modalities of soft government, the centrality of a self-regulated and entrepreneur learner, and the representation of schools as flexible, autonomous and non-hierarchical environments organised around non-standardised modalities of public ‘accountability’.
