高等院校小学教育专业课程方案探析

在本科层次小学教师专业兴办十年之际,通过对全国23所院校小学教育专业本科层次课程方案的分析以及与部分院校的访谈发现,当前小学教育专业在培养目标、培养规格、课程设置、课程实施与评价等方面存在诸多值得反思的问题。应确立区分于专科及研究生培养层次的、将小学教师教育与基础教育质量提升相联系的、适切性和可操作性强的培养目标和规格,进一步规范课程设置,积极开发新型教师教育综合课程,使小学教师教育成为新课改理念的示范。     

教师参与学校治理意愿影响因素的实证研究--计划行为理论框架下的分析

促进包括教师在内的多元主体参与是学校治理现代化的必然要求。本研究基于上海市442名中学教师的问卷调查,在计划行为理论框架下,对影响教师参与学校治理意愿的机制进行了实证分析。结果发现:(1)主观规范、知觉行为控制、参与治理态度和教师参与学校治理意愿显著正相关;(2)主观规范、知觉行为控制不仅可以直接正向预测教师参与学校治理意愿,还可以通过参与治理态度间接作用于教师参与学校治理意愿;(3)教师身份和教龄对主观规范通过参与治理态度影响教师参与治理意愿的中介效应有调节作用,非教代会代表、新手教师的效应更明显。需要加强参与理念宣传,营造良好参与氛围;注重意见反馈,提高教师参与效能感;用好激励机制,转变教师参与治理的态度;拓展参与范围,尤其注重新教师和非教代会代表在学校治理中的参与。

农村教育目的决定了农村教育的走向和发展趋势,农村教育发展的历程正是农村教育目的改革的见证。农村教育目的从服务政治、服务经济到以农村人口的发展为目的。体现了时代进步、社会发展对“人”的认识的提升,农村教育就应该成为农村人口能体验生命价值与生活幸福的教育,成为促使其去改变困境、创造美好生活的途径。     

关于科技馆建筑规划与功能的思考

我国科技馆事业进入快速发展时期,科技馆的建筑规模和数量不断增加。同时,我国科技馆建筑规划和建设过程中也遇到各种问题。本文结合国内外科技馆相关的案例,分析了科技馆建筑的选址、室外空间的功能设置、科技馆建筑的核心价值等问题,提出科技馆建筑选址的本质是城市功能规划问题、科技馆规划用地应考虑室外空间功能的综合利用、科技馆建筑的核心价值是适应公共科学文化服务设施发展的需要等观点。     

对小组合作学习过程中几个问题的思考

合作学习是我国新一轮课程改革所倡导的一种重要的学习方式,小组合作学习是其基本形式。在实际教学中,部分教师只注重了合作学习的形式而违背了合作学习的实质,具体表现为在合作学习目标的确立、合作小组的组建、小组成员的评价策略以及对教师自身的职责认识等方面存在许多误区。结合目前的研究成果和本人长期的教学实践,在分析对小组合作学习过程中存在的几个问题的基础上,进行了相应的对策思考。

Multiple influences on curriculum decisions in a supercomplex world

This article extends currently reported theory and practice in the use of learning goals or targets with students in secondary and further education. Goal-setting and action-planning constructs are employed in personal development plans (PDPs) and personal learning plans (PLPs) and are advocated as practice within the English national policy agenda with its focus on personalisation. The article argues that frameworks widely used for goal setting and action planning by UK educational practitioners, in particular SMART targets or goals, have yet to be rigorously examined in the light of relevant theory and practice. Doing so is important given contemporary emphasis on the dimensions of the learner experience regarded by ‘learning to learn’ practitioners as underpinning effective learning in the modern classroom. The article draws from social cognitive theory and achievement goal theory, including Zimmerman's criteria for appropriate goals, to suggest an alternative framework for goal or target setting – ‘well-formed outcomes’, a construct from the field of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). In comparison with SMART targets, the authors argue that well-formed outcomes offer a more rigorous and holistic approach, by taking greater account of the learner's identity, affective dimensions (feelings and emotions), social relations and values, as well as encouraging mental rehearsal.     

Involvement of heads of departments in strategic planning in schools in the Pinetown District

ABSTRACT

Strategic planning is crucial in facilitating sustainable development of schools. It enables schools to survive and cope with changes and challenges from government policies and market forces. There is broad agreement that all stakeholders need to be part of school strategic planning. In response to the lack of evidence suggesting stakeholders’ involvement – specifically that of Heads of Department (HOD) – in strategic planning in schools, and its value in ensuring that all stakeholders execute their duties, HODs’ experiences regarding their involvement in strategic planning were explored. Qualitative research was undertaken and semi-structured interviews were employed to generate data. The study reveals that the HODs were involved in some form of planning but there is no evidence suggesting their participation in substantive issues on strategic planning. Further, the study reveals that transparency-driven leadership and collaboration are key factors to ensure HODs’ participation in strategic planning. The findings suggest that the involvement of HODs is crucial towards improving teaching and learning.     

Framework for Change: Creating a Diversity Strategic Plan within an Academic Library

Abstract

In December 2017, Clemson University’s administration via the Assistant Vice President for Strategic Diversity Leadership charged each college and the University Libraries with creating and implementing a diversity strategic plan to align with the ClemsonForward institutional strategic plan and assessment system. Clemson University Libraries answered this charge by creating a Libraries Diversity Plan Working Group (LDPWG), which applied a provided institutional framework to conduct an inventory of current diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and obtain input, feedback, and support from all the Libraries’ faculty and staff as well as the organization and institution administration to create an ambitious diversity strategic plan. The LDPWG worked for sixteen months to create an updated organization mission statement, a sustainable diversity statement, and an accountable roadmap, furthering Clemson University Libraries’ DEI initiatives and impact regarding six strategic priority areas: climate and infrastructure, recruitment and retention, education and training, research and scholarship, leadership support and development, and strategic partnerships.
