An evaluation of an alternative placement experience for students undertaking primary initial teacher training

This study is an analysis of the impact on students of their experience of an alternative placement. The placement was run with Year 2 students on a three-year undergraduate initial teacher education degree programme (primary, 3–11) in England. The placement enabled students to have a practical teaching experience in any setting outside the age phase they were training to teach. The analysis is based on a cohort evaluation of the placement (170 students). Data were collected in two ways: through students’ written reflections and their identification of the standards required for Qualified Teacher Status that they experienced. This approach was selected owing to the strong expectations by the UK Government to meet set criteria to qualify as a teacher. There is one direct reference in the standards to learning outside the classroom, but it was found that the students considered they had benefited from the alternative placement by offering opportunities for their professional and personal development in many more areas. The research study found that these areas included learning from other experts, working with colleagues, gaining confidence to teach, experiencing other cultural settings, working with children in informal settings, the importance of personalising learning and, in some cases, experiencing second language teaching.     

我国城镇居民家庭教育负担研究

家庭教育负担微观上影响居民生活,宏观上制约我国经济转型,是一个重要的研究议题。采用国家统计局在2007年对21个城市的城镇居民家庭入户教育调查数据,本文分析了家庭教育支出水平和负担的影响因素,获得以下实证结果:首先,低收入家庭的教育负担更重。其次,义务教育阶段的家庭教育负担要明显小于非义务教育阶段的家庭教育负担。此外,教育负担存在显著的地区差异。根据以上结论,本文提出了相应的政策建议。

Responding to students' needs in special schools in Ireland and England: findings from two schools

As more students with special educational needs attend mainstream schools, it is critical that the role and operation of special schools be examined. This article reports on two case studies, one special school in England and one in Ireland, which formed part of a national review of the role of special schools and special classes in Ireland. Two students, in each case study school, were shadowed and observed during two‐day visits by the research team. These students, and everyone belonging to them, were interviewed and relevant documents were analysed. Findings are discussed in terms of responding to students' needs through: organization of teaching and learning, curriculum, leadership, specialist staff, collaboration and links outside the special school. The implications are considered with reference to research, policy and practice and the authors conclude that the evidence provides support for maintaining the special school as an integral part of the continuum of educational provision for students with special educational needs.     

外来说与本土说：理由与问题--盘古创世神话研究述评

百年来,大多数学者有关这个神话的研究成果,显在或潜在地围绕着这个神话是外来还是本土的这一焦点展开,外来说中印度说最早且影响最大,本土说中有多种观点,其中南方说影响最大。不管是外来说还是本土说,都存在一些困难。猜想多于实证,都缺少无可争议的铁证,这是它们共同的问题。     

The implications of the out-of-field phenomenon for effective teaching,quality education and school management

Abstract

The out-of-field phenomenon, that is the situation where teachers teach outside their field of expertise, adds complexity to the education environment and affects learners, colleagues, parents, governing bodies and school management. It puts extra strain on school management's responsibility to provide quality management and jeopardises effective teaching and quality learning. This article examines the implications of the out-of-field phenomenon for school management. An empirical investigation entailing the use of a qualitative approach was employed for the study. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with selected participants who shared their experiences of the phenomenon. Findings indicated that the out-of-field phenomenon and its implications should be recognised in order to provide effective and quality teaching, substantial teacher support and sufficient staff development programmes.
