浅谈调动工科学生学习专业课的主动性

文章以如何提高"测控技术与仪器"专业学生学习《电子测量》课程的主动性为例,简要分析高校教师如何以学生为中心,优化教学方法与课堂组织形式,将抽象、死板的工科知识讲解转化为能有效吸引学生注意力、引发学生主动思考的问题讨论,将工科专业大学生被动学习状态转换为主动要学的精神面貌。     

职业教育调动学生学习积极性的思考

学习动机是直接推动学生进行学习的一种内部动力。学生学习积极性的形成与学习动机的激发有着内在的联系。学习动机的激发是形成学生学习积极性的内在因素,学习发生的深层次根源来自主体的认知需要,然而学习的实际发生则常常需要来自外部环境的刺激。就是说从根本上缺乏认知内需,学习无法发生,但是没有外部环境的刺激,学习上也难以自发启动。尤其是对于职业院校学生来说,其学习动机更需要依靠教师去激发和调动。在实际工作中,要同时发挥内外两种动机的作用,抓住一切机会,提高学生主动参与性,激发、调动学生学习的积极性,帮助学生进行有效学习。     

关于数学建构性教学的认识和思考

数学教学应是建构地学与教的统一，建构观下的数学知识应包含数学经验知识和建构策略知识，相关地，数学学习和教学应有两种不同的类型，“建构主义”应成为指导数学教学的行动纲领，建构主义不排斥其它学习理论，建构性教学并非数学建模数学。     

Early Mathematical Growth: How to Support Young Children’s Mathematical Development

The purpose of this critical analysis was to investigate the young children’s sense of numerical magnitudes and the important attributes of classrooms where children in kindergarten and first grade are exposed to mathematics. This study aimed to offer guidelines that will assist teachers as they teach mathematics to children between the ages of five and seven.     

The Role of Students’ Personality Characteristics, Self-Perceived Competence and Learning Conceptions in the Acquisition and Development of Social Communicative Competence: A Longitudinal Study

An important purpose of higher social work education is to guide students to acquire and develop social-communicative competencies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role students’ personality characteristics, self-perceived communicative competence and learning conceptions play in the acquisition and development of social-communicative competencies. We designed and tested a hypothetical model on the student-related variables – self-perceived communicative competence, learning conceptions and reported learning activities regarding communication – in relation to performance scores. We were interested in developmental trends in the above mentioned variables. We also wanted to gain insight into the relationships among the variables. The study was set up according to a longitudinal, within-subjects design in order to study intra-individual changes. One-hundred and twenty-three first-year social-work students participated in this study. Many changes were found in students characteristics, reported deployed learning activities and study results during their first academic year. Except for confidence in “showing sympathy”, which was already relatively high at the beginning of the study, all scores on aspects of students’ self-perceived social-communicative competence increased. Assessment scores on comparable communication tests also increased significantly. Extraversion and emotional stability were the only two personality characteristics, which seemed rather stable. Agreeableness decreased while autonomy increased continuously during the first academic year. It seemed to be possible to set up a model, which may serve as a starting point for further research into the development of social-communicative competence.     

The Application of an Adaptive Web-Based Learning Environment on Oxidation–Reduction Reactions

The World Wide Web is increasingly being used as a vehicle for flexible learning, where learning is seen to be free from time, geographical, and participation constraints. In addition to flexibility, the Web facilitates student-centered approaches, creating a motivating and active learning environment. The purpose of this study is to set up an adaptive learning environment on Internet and to experiment with the most suitable methods and applications. Our goal is to provide a better solution with regard to the related distance learning research. All the resources and background are from current relevant documents on the theory of asynchronous distance education. We set up an adaptive Internet learning system based on learning theory and related learning models. Our research targets are those students who took the ‘Life Chemistry’ course for the asynchronous distance education environment at Providence University at Taiwan. The students were divided randomly into two groups: the experimental group, which was in an adaptive learning environment and the controlled group, which was in a non-adaptive one. We used the American Chemistry Society Test Bank as our research tool and used SPSS to analyse the data we obtained. Results show that the experimental group in the adaptive learning environment out-performs the controlled group. In addition, those students who are field independent learning types, have higher pre-knowledge, are male, in science departments and have a longer study time span in an adaptive learning environment show much greater achievement levels than those in the opposite situations.     

"学中做"和"做中学"的教学分析

＂做中学,学中做＂就是要自己动手,在实践中观察和思考,以悟得新知;同时将习得的知识与具体的生活实践相联系,学以致用,活学活用。实施＂学中做＂与＂做中学＂是行动导向教学设计的重要手段之一。     

高职非英语专业学生英语学习策略和学习动机关系的调查研究

本文通过对高职非英语专业学生英语学习策略、学习动机二者之间关系的研究发现:学生总体的策略使用水平处于中等,最常使用的策略是情感策略和补偿策略,最不常使用的是社会策略和元认知策略;学生总体的学习动机强度处于中等水平,英语学习动机多为融合型动机和工具型动机,具有内部动机的学生为数极少;融合型动机、工具型动机、内部型动机与策略总体使用均为显著相关;六类策略与动机总体均为显著相关;融合型动机与认知策略的相关性最高;学习动机影响学习策略的使用及学习成绩。
