Assessing ethics education through national tests—an advantage or not?

The purpose of this study is to describe, critically analyse and discuss the Swedish system of assessing ethics education in compulsory school through national tests. The publicly available tests from 2013 for grades six and nine have been studied as have the assessment instructions for teachers. Staff responsible for the test construction have been interviewed. The aims, core content and knowledge requirements of the curriculum were also studied. The concept ‘ethical competence’ was used as an analytical tool in the qualitative content analyses. Through the design of this study, the actual test, its process of construction and the curriculum were examined. The results suggest that ethics education, given (a) the curricular construction of what ability to assess, (b) complexities of test construction in ethics and (c) possible teach-to-the-test effects, runs the risk of being limited to an argumentative, conceptual competence, with ethics education being emptied of crucial content. However, being included in national testing can strengthen the position of a school subject. Is it then an advantage for ethics education to be tested in this way? The critical problems the study raises make the author conclude it to be a disadvantage for ethics education to be tested through national tests.     

The Effects of a Kit-Based Science Curriculum and Intensive Science Professional Development on Elementary Student Science Achievement

The science achievement of 226 5th graders from districts that have a kit-based inquiry science curriculum supported by intensive professional development (PD) is compared with data from a group of 173 5th graders from other districts that use nonkit science materials and do not have systematic science PD for teachers. Within the kit-based project, the sample of project teachers is stratified to select teachers with a high number of science PD hours versus those with few hours. While there were no significant differences in the mean total scores for kit-based students with low PD versus high PD teachers, the kit-based classrooms scored significantly higher than students in nonkit classrooms on both the pretest and posttest, though there were significantly more minutes of science instruction in the nonkit classrooms. Finally, nonkit teachers taught more units of shorter length and reported lower levels of preparedness to use reform pedagogical approaches.

多媒体教学重在课堂教学设计

多媒体教学涉及教学设计的问题很多,对老师而言重在课堂教学设计。文中以课堂教学为载体研究课堂教学设计,主要包括教学内容的兴趣前导设计到抽象与具体、枯燥与生动、静与动的转化设计;教师在新型课堂下对自身的重新“设计”等。     

图形绘制技术课程综合性实验设计

针对图形绘制技术课程以往实验设计中存在的覆盖面窄、原理理解困难、程序实现难度大以及学生参与度低的问题,设计了“真实感图形绘制演示系统”综合性课程实验。该实验贯穿于理论教学全过程,能够加深学生对真实感图形绘制中关键理论的直观理解,促进学生对核心技术的掌握并提升学生图形系统开发能力,激发学生对图形绘制技术的学习热情。     

应用写作教学不应拒绝文学

应用文与文学作品虽有区别,但自古就难有明确的界限。现代应用文与文学更是日益交融。现代应用文借用文学体式,使用文学语言更是屡见不鲜,因此应用写作课不应拒绝文学,适当讲些文学是必要的,也是可行的。     

Orienting Schools Toward Equity: Subgroup Accountability Pressure and School-Level Responses

Abstract

This article examines school-level responses to subgroup accountability pressure through an ethnographic case study of a school cited for failing to make adequate yearly progress for student subgroups. Concerns about the calculations and measures used to derive the citation and reservations about acting on accountability data delegitimized the citation and rendered the identified subgroups irrelevant to daily practice. Under district guidance, compliance with subgroup accountability was independent of the school's internal efforts to promote equity.     

提高小学教育专业本科生双语教学能力的思考

论述了对师范院校小学教育本科生进行有计划性、有针对性的培养的重要性,指出这是从根本上提高小学双语教学师资能力的重要途径。通过对培养形式的比较,以增设双语教学选修课的方式来培养小学双语师资,比较符合当前本科院校实际情况。在分析双语教师应具备的基本素质和双语教学目标的基础上,提出了培训方案。     

加强外语教学中的跨文化学习

本文拟对跨文化交际外语教学中的作用进行探讨。要实现外语教学过程中既提高学生语言能力又培养跨文化交际能力的双重目标,决不能再按传统的外语教学思路和方法,忽视文化教学把主要精力放在语言形式和词汇的教学上,而应该将文化教学放在与语言教学同等重要的位置上,将二者统一起来。
