非英语专业大学本科生英语学习特点及启示

从感知的视角,采用定量研究方法揭示了非英语专业大学本科生的英语学习风格偏好。研究表明:(1)非英语专业大学本科生的整体学习风格倾向于多元化,相对而言,他们更喜爱体验型风格和听觉型风格;(2)专业对学习者的英语学习风格的影响不大。英语学习风格偏好因学年的不同而有所差异。本研究结果对外语教学方案的科学设计具有一定的启示意义。     

个别化自主学习模式的网络课程设计与实践

文章以《人力资源管理》双语网络课程的开发为例,探索和构建了基于网络课程的个性化自主学习的新模式。在教育学理论基础上,通过对学生的学习特征进行分析,完成了网络课程学习流程结构和网络课程结构的设计,并对学习模式进行了应用和评价体系两个方面的实践研究,认为此模式可使师生受益,提高了教学效果。     

小组自主学习法的探索与实践

依据有关自主学习与合作学习理论，提出小组自主学习法。通过近两年的教学实践，我们发现小组自主学习法对发挥学生的主体作用，有效地转化差生以及培养学生的合作进取的团队精神等方面都有着非常积极的意义。

“少教多学”的思想内涵与实践策略

“少教”即启发性地教、针对性地教、创造性地教和发展性地教;“多学”,指学生在教师的引导下走向深度学习、积极学习、独立学习。教师在教学实践中秉持“少教多学”的理念,激发学生的学习兴趣,培养学生的独立学习能力,这能从根本上减轻教学负担,提高教学效益。     

让思维导图成为初中语文自主学习的拐杖

初中语文自主学习是学生在教师指导下,以语言文字为载体,在自我认知、体会、分析、思考、解疑等语文实践中形成语言思维能力的语文学习方式与过程。思维导图是一种用图画进行思考的新的思维模式,它是把语言中的隐性思维通过导图的形式进行显性化处理,它能快速理清思路、启发联想力和概括力;在对语言文字进行图像化处理的过程中,思维导图可以促进手脑并动,激发兴趣,从而实现有效的思维训练,有利于达成自主学习的目的。     

Understanding the association between future time perspective and self-regulated learning through the lens of self-determination theory

The present cross-sectional research examined a process underlying the positive association between holding an extended future time perspective (FTP) and learning outcomes through the lens of self-determination theory. High school students and university students (N = 275) participated in the study. It was found that students with an extended FTP regulated their study behaviour on the basis of several internal motives, including feelings of guilt and shame (introjected regulation), personal conviction (identified regulation) and interest (intrinsic motivation). The association with identified regulation was strongest and the association with intrinsic motivation fell below significance when controlling for identified regulation. Moreover, introjected and identified regulation emerged as mediators accounting for the association between FTP and cognitive processing. Further, to the extent that FTP engenders an internally pressuring mode of regulation it was found to be indirectly negatively associated with determination/metacognitive strategy use. In contrast to FTP, a present fatalistic and present hedonic time-orientation yielded more negative motivational and learning correlates. The link between FTP and self-determination theory is discussed.     

Use of the one-minute preceptor as a teaching tool in the gross anatomy laboratory

The one-minute preceptor (OMP) is a time-efficient technique used for teaching in busy clinical settings. It consists of five microskills: (1) get a commitment from the student, (2) probe for supporting evidence, (3) reinforce what was done right, (4) correct errors and fill in omissions, and (5) teach a general rule. It can also be used to address structure-identification questions in gross anatomy laboratory small-group settings. The OMP is an active learner-centered teaching approach that prepares students for a style of learning that they need to master in clinical settings, provides novice anatomy teachers with an efficient and effective teaching strategy, and moves anatomy learning beyond mere name tagging to active knowledge construction.     

Enhancing children's literacy skills: designing the Q‐Tales ecosystem for children's e‐book design and publication

This article describes the conceptualisation and development of a pedagogical framework to support the design of e‐books for children to enhance literacy development. It emerged from research undertaken within the Q‐Tales international consortium project of the EU's Horizon 2020 Programme for Research and Innovation, where the aim was to facilitate key stakeholders to collaborate and participate in the online production and publication of high‐quality, educational e‐books for children. The pedagogical framework described here sought to answer the question “What concepts and principles undergird the effective design of pedagogically impactful e‐books for children?” It is grounded by the theoretical underpinnings of socio‐constructivism, constructionism and skill theory, and how they relate to children's literacy development. A framework describing different narrative forms and component features, key pedagogical activities appropriate for different stages of reading development and design recommendations regarding the integration of multimedia into e‐books are also central to the pedagogical framework. As well as informing the design of the Q‐Tales infrastructure for children's e‐book design and publication, we hope the guidelines and pedagogical activities enumerated here will be widely useful for those designing and developing digital, interactive narratives, particularly e‐books to enhance children's emerging literacy.
