教育学:人文科学抑或社会科学?——兼与张楚廷先生商榷

教育学属于人文科学还是社会科学,这是一个非常基本的命题。回答该问题的方式不同,答案也就不同,而且回答方式对教育学的建设思路有着非常直接的影响。从历史上看,教育学学科属性发生了很大变化,它由传统的人文科学逐渐转向社会科学。而在20世纪中叶之后,教育学出现了向综合科学方向发展的态势。这说明教育学既具有人文科学的禀赋,也具有社会科学的倾向,而目下则呈现出多元化发展态势。面对教育功利化趋向,教育必须回归其自身,教育应成为价值主体而不能单纯地作为工具出现。其中,教育学的人文价值取向是教育学必须时刻观照的一个目标,而作为综合科学的教育学更有利于教育学学科的自身发展。     

我国师范教育中开设教育学科课程的历史比较与启示

我国师范教育具有“重专业知识、轻教育理论”的历史传统,这种传统的形成,与我国师范教育中开设教育学科课程较少有直接的联系。在我国师范教育的纵向历史比较中,我们可以发现开设教育学科课程较少的历史原因;在与世界发达国家师范教育的横向历史比较中,我们不仅可以发现“师范性与学术性”并重的师范教育大趋势的形成轨迹,而且可以发现我国师范教育在开设教育学科课程上同世界发达国家的差距。通过历史比较,以往鉴来,从历史给予我们的启示中,思考我们师范教育的改革与发展,推动我国师范教育改革不断深化。     

教育学的重构:问题的发现与悖论的揭示

“教育学的重构”首先要展开对问题的研究和悖论的揭示,它不仅构成对教育理论工作者的思想深度与智慧、勇气的最大挑战,同时也为重构新的教育学勾勒出大致的蓝图并预测其未来可能的走向。教育学重构有宏观的动因与文化背景,第三次知识转型引发了教育学“地震”,而且教育学的重构会涉及到一些最为关键性的问题。     

论教育知识发展的实质

教育知识是人类对教育进行认识的结果,它经历了漫长的历史发展过程,其最高形式就是体系化的教育学。教育知识发展,概括地讲,就是教育知识类型的不断丰富、教育知识体系的不断成熟和教育知识反思的不断自觉过程。这既是教育知识历史的实际进程,也是教育知识发展的实质性内容。     

Lonely or bored: Children’s lived experiences reveal the difference

In spite of the growing body of research on loneliness, the relationship between the phenomena of loneliness and boredom has not been sufficiently addressed, especially in respect to children. The question, “How does the child’s experience of boredom stand phenomenologically in relation to the experience of loneliness?” is explored from a hermeneutic phenomenological perspective. A critical examination of the literature regarding the phenomenology of both loneliness and boredom provides a theoretical background to the study. Elementary school children’s experiential accounts of loneliness and boredom are collected through research conversations. An original interpersonal communication board game is devised and used to initiate these conversations. The themes of loneliness and boredom emerged in a process of phenomenological reflection based on the participants’ lived experiences, the author’s personal experiences, and experiential accounts available in the literature. Distinctions between the two phenomena are derived from the exploration of these themes. Both boredom and loneliness are viewed as important pedagogical ingredients in the formation of the child’s inner self.     

论数字化学术期刊

学术期刊数字化、网络化已经成为网络上很普遍的存在。大量充斥因特网的学术期刊网页、网站,看似繁华,其实,它的生存状态很艰难。即使目前学术期刊通过网页或是网站参与学术资源的传递,也只是在原有期刊工作模式下的一些补充,还不能被视为“网络期刊”。数字化学术 解决的问题很多,包括谁来的数字化运作付费、平面期刊网络化的技术、学术资源检索的工具和检索模式的合理化等,只有突破这些“瓶颈”问题,学术期刊的数字化才会真正取得进展。     

TPACK and Pre-Service Teacher Mathematics Education: Defining a Signature Pedagogy for Mathematics Education Using ICT and Based on the Metaphor “Mathematics Is a Language”

National professional standards for teachers in Australia (AITSL, 2011) expect teacher education graduates to demonstrate technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK). Those standards have emerged concurrently with the development of a new Australian mathematics curriculum. Thus, the expectation is that graduates can demonstrate the use of information and communication technologies in mathematics teaching and learning. The authors argue that “signature pedagogy” (Shulman, 2005 Shulman, L. S. 1986. Those who understand: Knowledge growth in teaching. Educational Researcher, 15(2): 4–14. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) is the use of a key metaphor which views mathematics as a language and suggests that mathematics should be taught and learned as any other language. This article provides a summary of the findings of an action research project involving two cohorts of undergraduate mathematics education students in an Australian university. Data collected was used to inform targeted changes to improve the technological pedagogical approach employed by the course team across two offers of the course to enhance student learning and align the course with the expectations for graduate teachers. The implications of this action research are provided to inform the design and implementation of pre-service teacher education courses with respect to the development of TPACK capabilities specifically in mathematics education.

信息通讯技术是否对教学法有影响?(英文)

不同学者对教学法有不同理解,随着信息通讯技术在教学中的广泛应用,与之相联系的新教学法也应运而生。是什么因素影响了信息通讯技术在教学中的应用?教师需要做好课程计划以及对后续课程的准备,但更重要的是他们需要有好的教学想法,只有这样才能有效地把信息通讯技术与教学相结合起来。     

How do we rate? An evaluation of online student evaluations

This paper analyses the popular RateMyProfessors (RMP) website where students evaluate instructors in higher education. A study was designed to measure (1) the awareness and utilisation of the RMP website, (2) the internal and external validity of the RMP ratings in measuring teaching effectiveness, and (3) variation in the above across disciplines. It is concluded that the category of ratings, created by the website, establishes an anti‐intellectual tone that manifests itself in comments about instructors’ personality, easiness of workload and entertainment value rather than knowledge attained.
