技术-教学法-内容知识:对教师的新要求

基于对教育技术、一般教学法和学科内容交互作用的分析,研究者提出当前教师应具有技术一教学法一内容知识,善于利用教育技术有效表征和呈现学科内容以利于教学和学生理解。可通过基于问题解决的训练模式帮助教师获得技术一教学法一内容知识。该理论是对教师知识研究的拓展,对教师的职业素质提出了新要求,也对当前我国教师教育的研究和实践具有重要启发意义。     

教育信息势与教育教学技术——势科学与现代教育学理论研究之二

教育信息势是教育和学习过程的唯一推动力。信息即负熵即有序即梯度即势,所以,有效信息量与信息势是等价的。无论教育技术的“媒体派”还是“学习派”,其理论研究的主旨就在于生产更多的信息量、营造更大的教育信息势。论述了在教育信息势推动下,产生的学习“情感势”与“意识流”的非平衡非线性作用如何形成知识的有序结构、进而形成智慧素质和能力,以及“信息人”六维信息势（货币信息势、权力信息势、知识信息势、情感信息势、艺术信息势和虚拟抽象信息势）的能力本质。在教育和学习过程中,势科学理论的逻辑抽象比建构主义理论的形象描述更加具有可操作性。     

Rethinking teaching with information and communication technologies (ICTs) in architectural education

This paper attempts to answer three questions: (1) What are the benefits of fully implementing ICTs for the education of professionals, such as architects? (2) What are the difficulties involved with carrying out these technological changes? and (3) How do these benefits and difficulties interact in a rapidly developing Asian nation such as Taiwan? A brief literature review reveals that ICTs are especially well fitted to the educational paradigm of constructivism and that cultural considerations must always be kept in mind when attempting to implement ICTs. Particular attention is given to the increased potential for collaborative work that crosses international and cultural boundaries, molding studies and exercises to the interests of students and teachers rather knowledge that has recently evolved, and how this maximized use will benefit architectural education. Throughout the paper special attention is given to the possibility of fully implementing ICTs for the education of professionals in Taiwan.     

民国时期教师专业化与教育类课程发展

民国时期高等师范院校教育类课程的曲折发展历程充分印证了在教师教育领域中的＂钟摆＂现象。正是人们对教师专业化认识与理解的左右摇摆与飘忽不定,最终演绎了高等师范院校教育类课程发展的曲折变化。学术性与师范性是教师专业性的两大体现。民国初期教师专业化中师范性特征明显,教育类课程获得稳步发展;民国中期教师专业化中学术性倾向突出,教育类课程一定程度上被边缘化;民国后期教师专业化中学术性与师范性的整合,为教育类课程提供了广阔的发展空间。追求学术性与师范性的整合将成为教师教育课程发展的历史必然,而这也将是今后教师教育课程改革的选择方向。     

Interactive Whiteboards and English Teaching: A consideration of typical practice

This article considers the affordances of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) for English teachers by reflecting on the typical use of IWBs by a number of secondary English teachers who use them routinely within their teaching. Drawing on a PhD study, it looks at the practice of these teachers and considers when the technology is used within lessons, in terms of lesson timing and the stage of teaching. It also draws attention to two particular areas: the most commonly used programmes observed and the use of handwriting on the IWBs. From the patterns of practice that emerge, it is clear that teachers require continuing professional development in order to understand and use the technology effectively.     

On Their Own but Not Alone: The Difficulty in Competence-Oriented Approaches to Teaching Reading and Writing of Thinking of ‘Performance’ in Communal Terms*

Among educators in the field of language and literature, in the German-speaking world and beyond, the concept of ‘competence’ has been gaining ground for three decades. This article questions the validity of prevalent competence definitions, which by focusing on the proficiency of an individual student ignore the fact that in understanding literature, as well as in composition, communal achievement is essential. By drawing on evolutionary anthropology and by collecting evidence from studies in literary and composition learning, the author draws on his own teaching experience to show that students’ competence develops by interaction. Educational research, however, widely fails to take this into account.     

从“他者”到“自我”--“身体”在教育学话语中的失落与重构

"他者"是与"自我"相对而逐渐形成的概念,是除自我存在之外一切存在的统称。长久以来,"身体"一直是教育学话语中的边缘性存在,在话语表征中往往被视作"秩序""理性"和"心灵"的他者。在具体教育实践中,"身体"则被视作规训的对象、肤浅需求的来源和冷漠的精神容器。因此,教育学应当从身体的价值、概念和教育理论本身出发,重新对身体进行认识,使身体从话语中的"他者"向"自我"回归。     

Studying the recontextualisation of science in pre-school classrooms: Drawing on Bernstein’s insights into teaching and learning practices

This paper explores pre-school pedagogic practices related to science, and argues for the relevance of sociology of education for such exploration. It also argues that this approach has a wider applicability in analysing the effects of changes in education policy on (pre)school practice. A basic characteristic of pre-school organization in many western societies for many decades has been its play-like activity. This has required teachers to structure the experiences of young children by acting upon the contexts of learning rather than the content. However, current policy initiatives and developments in a number of countries in the 1990s, including Greece, demand that teachers make systematic use of specialised content from science, mathematics and other subjects to structure pre-school curriculum activities. In order to analyse pedagogical practice in a systematic way, and to explore issues such trends in policy might raise, we have obtained data by video-recording school science activities in a nursery classroom, and have developed a tool of analysis based on Bernsteins conceptual framework. In demonstrating the usefulness of the analytical tool, we provide evidence to support developing concerns that the emerging discourse of pre-school teaching and learning of specialised content is in tension with dominant pre-school pedagogical practices, and that the contradictory demands placed upon teachers might lead to a narrowing of the view of learning in pre-school classrooms.     

Teachers’ Voices on Integrating Metacognition into Science Education

This study is an attempt to gain new insight, on behalf of science teachers, into the integration of metacognition (MC) into science education. Participants were 44 elementary school science teachers attending an in-service teacher-training (INST) program. Data collection was carried out by several data sources: recordings of all verbal discussions that took place during the program, teachers’ written reflections, and semi-structured individual interviews. Our study provides a qualitative analysis of the 44 teachers’ voices as a group, as well as a detailed case-study narrative analysis of three teachers’ stories The findings show that the teachers’ intuitive (pre-instructional) thinking was incomplete and unsatisfactory and their voices were skeptical and against the integration of MC. After teachers had mastered the notion of MC in the INST program, the following outcomes have been identified: (a) teachers expressed amazement at how such an important and relevant issue had been almost invisible to them; (b) teachers identified the affective character of metacognitive experiences as the most significant facet of MC, which acts as a mediator between teaching and learning; (c) the complete lack of learning materials addressing MC and the absence of supportive in-classroom guidance were identified as the major obstacles for its implementation; (d) teachers expressed a willingness to continue their professional development toward expanding their abilities to integrate MC as an inseparable component of the science curriculum. The implications of the findings for professional development courses in the field of MC are discussed.
