教师行为研究:课程与教学论的重要研究方向

20世纪,课程论和教学论得到了巨大发展,同时也暴露出实践品性不足的倾向。这种倾向既是课程与教学论发展的一个阶段性标志,也为课程与教学论的进一步发展提供了空间。近年来,课程与教学论的整合研究越来越受到重视,这为增强课程与教学论的实践品性提供了新的思路,也为教师行为研究提供了新的理论基础。教师行为研究是一项实践性比较强的研究,成为课程与教学论整合的一个重要途径,为课程与教学论的发展开辟了一个新的研究方向。     

健身指导APP资源及使用行为的调查研究

在移动互联网飞速发展的今天,健身指导APP给人们的运动健身带来了新的指导方式。通过文献资料法收集了当前健身指导APP的资源现状,问卷调查法了解当前健身指导APP的使用现状。研究发现,当下健身指导APP存在的问题有：（1）健身指导APP各类型使用率与实际市场占有率差别较大;（2）健身指导APP付费服务存在缺口;（3）通过健身指导APP达到经常锻炼标准的比例较低。针对这些问题提出以下对策与建议：（1）着力发展资源配置型健身指导APP;（2）丰富健身指导APP付费服务,创造新型盈利点;（3）提高健身指导APP服务水平,加强内容的信息监管;（4）与其他互联网平台相互整合发展,多方位为人们提供健身指导服务。     

立德树人背景下高职英语教学中“以文化人”实践探究

文章基于立德树人的时代背景,分析高职英语教学中提升学生人文素养的必要性和紧迫性,通过建立高素养教师队伍、挖掘教材中的人文内涵、拓展第二课堂,采取"以文化人"贯穿教学全过程的方式,探索提升学生人文素养的有效途径。     

《建筑结构》课程"项目教学法模式"的构建研究

以发现为特征的探究式学习,以学生主动参与,亲身经历为特征,是一种过程性学习.在建筑工程专业教学实践中通过不断探索实验以试图建构新的教学模式,"项目教学法模式"正是基于项目实践的学习,更加注重学生的参与,重过程,重体验,引导学生掌握探究的方法和要领,感受活动乐趣,对提高专业教学质量具有一定现实意义.     

生成性教学及其基本理念

生成性教学是生成性思维视角下的教学形态。生成性思维是一种认为事物及其本质是在其发展过程中生成的而不是在发展之前就存在的思维模式。生成性教学则是指教师根据课堂中的互动状态及时地调整教学思路和教学行为的教学形态。生成性教学的基本理念可以概括为:关注表现性目标,关注具体的教学过程,关注教学事件,关注互动性的教学方法,关注教学过程的附加价值。     

面向学习者的数学问题解决教学设计——信息技术与数学课程整合的视角

问题解决能力是数学教学的核心目标。数学教学是基于“问题解决学习”的教学,数学教学设计应当是问题式教学与问题式学习的对立统一关系的设计。“问题解决教学”重视从宏观上、整体上让学生把握数学学科的基本结构,倡导“整合认知,框架推进”,围绕“主题”进行教学设计,各个教学环节构成了一个完整的知识建构过程,在每一环节,各种教学模式可灵活选用。     

Part 1. If We Frame It,They Will Respond: Undergraduate Student Responses to the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education

There remains significant confusion surrounding the purpose, audience, and proposed application of the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. This exploratory study addresses the question of whether undergraduate students can understand the language and concepts in this document. By presenting student responses to pretest questions recorded at the beginning of a semester-long research methods course, this article shows that students can, even on first impression, begin to make sense of the complexity and richness found in the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.     

Guiding Low Spatial Ability Individuals through Visual Cueing: The Dual Importance of Where and When to Look

Research suggests that spatial ability may predict success in complex disciplines including anatomy, where mastery requires a firm understanding of the intricate relationships occurring along the course of veins, arteries, and nerves, as they traverse through and around bones, muscles, and organs. Debate exists on the malleability of spatial ability, and some suggest that spatial ability can be enhanced through training. It is hypothesized that spatial ability can be trained in low-performing individuals through visual guidance. To address this, training was completed through a visual guidance protocol. This protocol was based on eye-movement patterns of high-performing individuals, collected via eye-tracking as they completed an Electronic Mental Rotations Test (EMRT). The effects of guidance were evaluated using 33 individuals with low mental rotation ability, in a counterbalanced crossover design. Individuals were placed in one of two treatment groups (late or early guidance) and completed both a guided, and an unguided EMRT. A third group (no guidance/control) completed two unguided EMRTs. All groups demonstrated an increase in EMRT scores on their second test (P < 0.001); however, an interaction was observed between treatment and test iteration (P = 0.024). The effect of guidance on scores was contingent on when the guidance was applied. When guidance was applied early, scores were significantly greater than expected (P = 0.028). These findings suggest that by guiding individuals with low mental rotation ability “where” to look early in training, better search approaches may be adopted, yielding improvements in spatial reasoning scores. It is proposed that visual guidance may be applied in spatial fields, such as STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine), surgery, and anatomy to improve student's interpretation of visual content.

The Potential Impact of COVID-19 on Student Learning and How Schools Can Respond

There is no denying the impact that the coronravirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has had on many aspects of our lives. This article looks at the potential impact of COVID-19 on student learning as schools abruptly morphed into virtual learning environments using data from several instructional, practice, and assessment solutions offered by Renaissance. First, three hypothetical learning scenarios are considered using normative data from Star assessments to explore the potential impact on reading and math test performace. Next, data on Focus Skills are used to highlight which grades may have missed the most foundational math and reading content if instruction was stopped or reduced. Last, data from two of Renaissance's practice tools are used to evaluate whether students were practicing key skills following school closures. The article concludes that academic decline will likely occur but may be tempered by the increased use of practice tools; effects may look different for math and reading; and may impact grades and schools differently. As such, schools may need to leverage decision-making frameworks, such as the Multi-tiered Systems of Support/Response-to-Intervention (MTSS/RTI) framework, more than ever to identify needs and target instruction where it matters most when school begins in fall 2020.     

Important Considerations for Assessment to Function in the Service of Education

Professor Gordon argues for a significant reorientation in the focus and impact of assessment in education. For the types of assessment activities that he advocates to prosper and positively impact education, serious attention must be paid to two important topics: (1) the conceptual underpinnings of the assessment practices we develop and use to support learning and instruction, and (2) the arguments and evidence we establish for their validity given the intended interpretive use. Such a focus highlights fundamental concepts that have long existed in the broader assessment literature – carefully defining and operationalizing our constructs and then validating the assessments of those constructs. What differs now are the conceptual frameworks, briefly outlined here, that can and must be used to guide both aspects of such work.
