怀特海CSL理论对英美文学教学的启示

怀特海主义的创造性综合教育理论的本质内涵是在好奇心的旅程上,在问题的共同体中,在发现的历险和概括的洞见中解决问题和培育学生。其核心概念对英语专业英美文学教学有着重要的启发。在这教育理论基础上,教师和学生怀着好奇和问题意识共同进行历险的发现之旅,以培养学生面向未来的探索精神、批判意识和思辨能力。而在具体课堂教学中,教师要重视方法论的策略,重视文学教学中阅读、思考和写作的过程教育一体化,以真正实现文学的内在功用并诠释大学的理念与责任。     

高职教师学习共同体的构建

学习共同体是一种全新的合作学习方式,是一种自主、平等和互惠的合作共同体。教师学习共同体与学校是利益共同体,学校通过搭建教学共同体、科研共同体、技术攻关共同体等合作学习的组织平台,为教师合作提供良好的空间。学校可以在合作氛围创设、平台搭建、机制完善和资源保障上发挥作用,为教师之间的合作学习和专业成长创造更多的有利条件。     

经济学专业文理科生学习质量的差异性研究

基于4个年级258名经济学本科专业学生的数据,对文理科生在经济学专业学习质量上的差异性进行实证研究。研究结果表明：经济学专业文理科生的专业学习质量在整体上存在差异但统计不显著;文理科生专业学习质量的分布呈现显著差异,理科生学习质量相对较好但同时分化也相对较大;个体层面上理科生学习质量相对优劣的状况比较稳定,变动程度弱于文科生。针对文理科生专业学习质量上存在的差异,制定实施相应的对策和建议,有助于改善专业教学、提高教学质量。     

基于自主学习的“李四光计划”创新人才培养模式探索

秉承大众化阶段精英教育理念,"李四光计划"探索"小而精"创新人才培养模式,以自主学习为主要特征构建跨学科专业培养体系,以自主学习为轴心汇集优势学术力量与学术资源,并且以自主学习需求为导向建设管理与服务平台,有力地助推了以学习者为中心的本科教育教学改革。     

日语学习策略个案研究

通过问卷调查、学习记录和访谈,对日语学习成功者与不成功者的学习策略进行个案研究。结果表明:(1)无论是学习成功者还是不成功者,均能采取多种学习策略,但是并不全面;(2)学习策略的使用效果未必在于量,更在于质;(3)学习策略指导是一个长期的过程,除了给予学习者建议外,应该在创造学习环境、改变学习观念等方面进行更多的努力;(4)问卷、学习记录和访谈是观察学习策略的有效方法,各有利弊。     

大专生元认知策略与英语成绩关系的实证研究

元认知策略是语言学习策略的重要组成部分,已受到二语习得领域专家学者广泛的关注。文章通过对南昌师范学院中文专业和物理专业三个年级大专生进行元认知策略问卷调查,来探索大专生英语学习中元认知策略的使用情况,并探讨元认知策略与学生的英语学习成绩之间的关系,丰富对元认知策略的研究,旨在提高大专院校英语教学质量。     

论改革开放以来党的主要领导人学习观的伟大贡献

学习观强调的是一种学习的态度和观念。改革开放以来,党的主要领导人根据时代和实践的要求,提出了独具特色的学习观,主要包括：邓小平的学习观、江泽民的学习观、胡锦涛的学习观和习近平的学习观。对改革开放以来党的四代主要领导人学习观的深入研究,促进了“学习型政党”的建设,对中国特色社会主义建设和实现“中国梦”具有深远的现实意义和实践价值。     

A retrospective look at replacing face‐to‐face embryology instruction with online lectures in a human anatomy course

Embryology is integrated into the Clinically Oriented Anatomy course at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. Before 2008, the same instructor presented embryology in 13 face‐to‐face lectures distributed by organ systems throughout the course. For the 2008 and 2009 offerings of the course, a hybrid embryology instruction model with four face‐to‐face classes that supplemented online recorded lectures was used. One instructor delivered the lectures face‐to‐face in 2007 and by online videos in 2008–2009, while a second instructor provided the supplemental face‐to‐face classes in 2008–2009. The same embryology learning objectives and selected examination questions were used for each of the three years. This allowed direct comparison of learning outcomes, as measured by examination performance, for students receiving only face‐to‐face embryology instruction versus the hybrid approach. Comparison of the face‐to‐face lectures to the hybrid approach showed no difference in overall class performance on embryology questions that were used all three years. Moreover, there was no differential effect of the delivery method on the examination scores for bottom quartile students. Students completed an end‐of‐course survey to assess their opinions. They rated the two forms of delivery similarly on a six‐point Likert scale and reported that face‐to‐face lectures have the advantage of allowing them to interact with the instructor, whereas online lectures could be paused, replayed, and viewed at any time. These experiences suggest the need for well‐designed prospective studies to determine whether online lectures can be used to enhance the efficacy of embryology instruction.

On the determinants of employment-related organised education and informal learning

This paper analyses the distribution of employment-related organised education and informal learning in the Canadian workforce. The paper draws on a large-scale survey, the Changing Nature of Work and Lifelong Learning (WALL), which was based on structured and standardised telephone interviews with a representative sample of 5783 Canadian members of the employed labour force. In exploring the determinants facilitating employment-related informal learning, three analytical categories of factors derived from previous research on learning participation were used: individual-level factors, job characteristics and workplace environment. The analyses focus on differences in individuals, jobs and workplace characteristics among adult workers who acquired or improved their job-related skills through different training pathways. In addition, analyses were performed to compare the extent to which these factors differ in their influence on learning decisions among workers who combine both organised education and informal learning and those who receive only informal learning. The results indicate that important predictors of participation in employment-related organised education and informal learning are age, educational attainment, learning skills, occupational class, education-job relation, degree of autonomy, degree of labour intensity, principal area of production and organisation size.
