新课程经验化与学习环境建构

新一轮的课程改革凸显课程经验化的问题。学习者天然的学习本性、儿童学习发生的内在要求、人类心理生命结构关联性、学习方式活动化等要求我们实现课程经验化。在课程开发过程中儿童与课程的关系将体现为儿童与环境的关系。将内容转化为环境中的条件,使课程成为环境的组成部分,建构出“经验世界”的环境条件,这是儿童获取学习经验的主要渠道。     

英语全球化语境中的高中英语文化教学

《普通高中英语课程标准(实验)》首次将“文化意识”列为五大教学目标之一,充分体现了文化教学在英语教学中的必要性和重要性。在英语全球化的今天,我们应充分意识到英语作为一种国际通用语种的作用和地位,在教学中合理配置不同文化教学素材,采取对比、反思、整合的文化教学方法,着力培养学生对文化差异的觉察能力、理解能力,使其最终具备完善的人格、自身文化认同感以及得体的跨文化交际能力。     

解决短期高峰需求的成本效益策略

For most open universities, in fact for most universities, there will arise occasions when some online activities will have to be completed by all students in a very short time interval. These occasions usually result in a great rush to get online as quickly as possible; the rush is often made worst by the limited good choices on offer such that usually only the earliest can get the best. Choosing and confirming elective subjects, when only a limited number for each are offered, on a first-come-first-served basis is an example.At the Open University Malaysia the rush occurs when confirming offered subjects and choosing face-to-face meeting timetable. Most students rushed to be earliest to ensure choice slots in the timetable are obtained.Available I. T. resources such as Internet bandwidth and servers cannot cope with these short-term sustained peak demands. Unless these peak demands are met, however, online services will slow down drastically resulting in long queues of users waiting to be served. Providing excess capacity, if at all possible, to ensure these short duration peak demands can be met would not be cost-effective since most of the time these resources are not utilised. This paper will look at some cost-effective approaches to meeting these short-term peak demands.

Blended learning in higher education: professional development in a Hong Kong university

ABSTRACT

Online learning has become a ubiquitous part of the educational landscape and how teachers are supported in developing approaches to teaching online is a fundamental aspect of the students’ learning experience. Based on the implementation of a professional development course on becoming an online teacher offered in a blended learning mode at one university in Hong Kong, this article proposes that offering this type of professional development in a blended mode is very effective in facilitating enhanced usage of the university’s learning management system. In a blended mode, teachers are actively engaged with blended learning and were found to make more extensive use of features/tools in Blackboard after they attended the professional development course. Results support that offering professional development in a blended mode provides teachers with an authentic student perspective, at the same time as they take guided steps in the teacher’s role in blended learning.
