What’s in a name: dimensions of social learning in teacher groups

Induced by a literature review, this paper presents a framework of dimensions and indicators highlighting the underpinning aspects and values of social learning within teacher groups. Notions of social networks, communities of practice and learning teams were taken as the main perspectives to influence this social learning framework. The review exercise resulted in four dimensions: (1) practice, (2) domain and value creation, (3) collective identity and (4) organization. The indicators corresponding to these dimensions serve as the foundation for understanding social learning in practice. The framework of dimensions and indicators can be of assistance for researchers as well as teacher groups that aim to assess their views on social learning and analyse whether these views fit the learning goals of the group or that adjustments are required. In this way, learning processes within groups of teachers can be improved.

我国高中阶段普教职教的分设与合流

我国高中阶段普通教育和职业教育分设的办学模式，是在建国初期急需大量中初级技术人才这样一种特定历史条件下产生并沿袭下来的。从现在我国现实条件对教育的要求看，这种办学模式已不适应新的形势，况且它也违背了中学阶段的办学宗旨、培养目标和人才成长规律，造成人才培养的错位和教育资源的浪费。从中学阶段的培养目标、人才成长规律、素质教育要求和国际上高中阶段教育发展的潮流趋势以及我国现阶段和今后对人才的要求看，我国高中阶段教育应走普教、职教一体化道路，创立崭新的综合中学办学模式，在较高层面上树立一种新的教育理念，形成一种新的教育教学模式和新的课程结构。对中学阶段的学生，实行真正意义上的综合素质教育。

There is a substantial difference in use and development of information and communication technologies and services between and within countries. Some denote this phenomenon as the digital divide.This paper addresses the competence aspect of the digital divide.
