呼唤“微观教学学”

我国的高等教育研究存在着研究对象空泛、研究方法空洞、对教学实践缺乏有效指导等方面的不足。\"微观教学学\"恰好可以弥补这些缺憾,因为它的研究主体以一线教师为主,它的研究对象以\"教学\"为主,它的研究方法以\"实证\"和\"体悟\"为主,它的研究目标以指导教学实践为主。\"微观教学学\"对提升大学教师特别是研究者自身的教学水平有着积极的意义。     

Changes in teachers’ beliefs after a professional development project for teaching writing: two Chinese cases

A plethora of research has found that teachers’ beliefs directly influence their classroom practices and teaching outcomes. While numerous studies in second/foreign language writing have examined the effectiveness of different innovative approaches on students’ learning to write, there is a paucity of research on writing teachers’ beliefs about these approaches and how their beliefs change in the process of their professional development. Such a lacuna becomes prominent in English as a Foreign Language contexts, especially in China, where there are numerous calls for changing the nature of classroom practices from product-focused to process- and student-centred instruction. In order to fill this gap, this brief article reports on a case study regarding changes in two Chinese English teachers’ beliefs after attending a professional development project for teaching writing. A key research question guides this study: What changes, if any, did the two teachers experience in their teaching beliefs during the project? Two writing teachers were voluntarily recruited for a case study. Findings show that the professional development project for teaching writing broadened the teachers’ understanding of different writing theories, provided a clear model of how to integrate these new approaches into regular writing courses, changed their instructional focus and shifted their perception of teachers’ roles in teaching practice.

试析19世纪末20世纪初中国学校美术教育

中国传统美术一直是以私相授受为主要的传承方式,且流派繁多,风格明显。19世纪末20世纪初,随着两学东渐,欧洲美术教育模式亦传入中国,为中国美术教育开辟了新纪元。美术课程首先进入中小学课堂,美术师资的匮乏使师范美术教育的开始成为必然,而学校专业美术教育的正是在这两的基础上发展起来的。本就19世纪末20世纪初中国美术教育初期的发展脉络进行了梳理与简要分析。     

Exercising a bounded autonomy: novice and experienced teachers’ adaptations to curriculum materials in an age of accountability

This study explores teachers’ first enactments of a set of theory-based curriculum materials designed to support academic language instruction. Specifically, this multiple case study looks at how six middle school English teachers in three US schools adapted the materials; each case includes a pair of teachers, one novice and one more experienced. All schools were located in the same district where a school performance measurement system was being used to publicly rank schools’ academic performance and growth. Multiple measures were used to look for evidence of adaptations and why teachers made adaptations. We found that all teachers adapted the curriculum, most often in response to either perceived student needs or district reform pressures. In two cases, patterns of adaptation differed by teacher experience; experienced teachers appeared better able to adapt curriculum materials to meet instructional goals. This pattern did not hold up at the third school, where teachers faced greater reform pressures. Taken together, these findings suggest that researchers should pay more attention to the role of school and district policy on teachers’ enactments of theory-based reforms. We conclude with guidance to researchers, instructional leaders and others interested in the potential of theory-based curricula as a lever for improving classroom instruction.
