浅谈新课程理念下高中英语作业改革

在高中英语新课程的实施过程中,课后作业同样应体现新课程理念:注重英语教材中结构主义和功能主义相结合的编写思路,培养复合型人才,体现人人都得到发展;激发学生自主学习意识和探究学习意识。据此,高中英语作业布置可以尝试以下几个方面的改革:有声作业、口头作业与书面作业并举;口头作业的新颖性和多样性;作业布置的文化性、趣味性、层次性、实践性和延伸性。     

Self-regulation of homework behaviour: relating grade,gender, and achievement to homework management

Abstract

The present investigation linked grade, gender, and maths achievement to homework management strategies using data from 305 Chinese students in grades 7, 8, and 9. These strategies included arranging the environment, managing time, handling distraction, monitoring motivation, and controlling potentially interfering emotion. A three-way MANOVA examined the effects of grade, gender, and maths achievement on homework management strategies. Grade or gender was not related to homework management strategies. Meanwhile, high-achieving students (compared with low-achieving students) were more likely to arrange the environment, manage time, handle distraction, monitor motivation, and control negative emotion.

Structural and convergent validity of the homework performance questionnaire

Homework is a requirement for most school-age children, but research on the benefits and drawbacks of homework is limited by lack of psychometrically sound measurement of homework performance. This study examined the structural and convergent validity of scores from the newly developed Homework Performance Questionnaire – Teacher Scale (HPQ-T). Participants were 112 teachers of 224 students in six Illinois school districts. Common factor analysis with principal axis extraction and promax rotation was used for data analysis. Results revealed three salient factors: Parent support, student competence and homework completion. Subsequently, convergent validity of HPQ-T subscale scores with subscale scores from the Learning Behaviours Scale was examined. Findings suggest that the HPQ-T may potentially be a useful tool for improving research on homework and identifying strengths and weaknesses in student homework performance. However, modifications are recommended to optimise the utility of the scores.     

高职院校市场营销实务课堂教学与开放性作业的衔接研究--市场营销实务课程教学改革研究与实践

课堂教学和课后作业是教与学之中两个最为重要的节点。课堂教学的封闭性使得学生在课堂上消化知识、提高能力的时间和空间十分有限,如果学生课后没有及时巩固、锻炼,那么教师的课堂效能就不会理想,课堂教学的实际作用得不到体现。尝试封闭的课堂教学与开放性作业的衔接,是解决教学效果提升的最好方法。     

The perceived impact of playing music while studying: age and cultural differences

Rating scale questionnaires were administered to 600 students in three age groups, 12–13, 15–16 and 20–21 from Japan, the UK, Greece and the USA. The questionnaires explored the extent of playing music while studying, the kinds of tasks when music was played, the perceived effects of music on studying, the characteristics and types of music played while studying and the factors that influenced the decision to play music while studying. Statistical analysis revealed both commonality and differences in playing music while studying related to both age and culture. Some tasks were more frequently accompanied by music than others. Students reported being able to make decisions about the impact of background music on their performance. The results are discussed in relation to their educational implications.

Students’ Needs,Teachers’ Support,and Motivation for Doing Homework: A Cross-Sectional Study

Self-determination theory provided the theoretical framework for a cross-sectional investigation of elementary and junior high school students’ autonomous motivation for homework. More specifically, the study focused on the role of teachers’ support of students’ psychological needs in students’ motivation for homework in the two school systems. The study also investigated the contribution of a match between teachers’ support and students’ expressed level of psychological needs to autonomous motivation for homework. The findings indicated that teacher support partially mediated the difference in autonomous motivation for homework between students in the two school systems. In addition, the findings suggested that whereas students’ with different level of expressed needs may perceive different levels of teachers’ support, and that teachers’ support might be more important for students who express higher level of needs, perceived teachers’ support of psychological needs was important for students’ adaptive motivation for homework, irrespective of their expressed level of needs.
