对物理探究式教学的几点思考

探究式教学是指为培养学生的探究意识及实践创新能力,教师创建条件引导学生主动探究问题、自主建构其知识体系的一种教学方式。在实践中发现,物理探究式教学有形式化与泛化现象,学生可能出现思维障碍,教师需要重建角色、更新知识结构、创新教学过程。作为应对策略,要注意营造民主、宽松、和睦的教学氛围,探究活动的设计要符合学生和教学的客观实际,要注重对学生探究能力的培养和强调合作学习。     

Integrating ICT to higher education in China: From the perspective of Activity Theory

This paper is based on a study that explored the relationship between the implementation of ICT pedagogy and the factors that influenced seven teachers of English for Business Purposes in Chinese higher education concerning their adoption of ICT into their teaching. Activity Theory was used as an analytical tool to investigate the relationships and to identify contradictions in their teaching systems that could lead to teachers’ implementation of a student-centred ICT pedagogy. The study revealed that the main potential driving force for change lay in the conflict between the deep-rooted teacher-centred pedagogy in the educational system and the student-centred pedagogy that accompanied the introduction of ICT. If teachers, curriculum developers and policy makers understood this conflict, this would enable them to concentrate on such issues as how to change the teacher-centred pedagogy to support both teaching and learning for improved learning achievements. Activity theory proved a powerful tool to analyse and understand the contradictions in an activity system. Changes in ICT related policy are recommended.     

Mathematics, computers, and young children as a research-oriented learning environment for a teacher candidate

The advent of computer technology in the classroom raised the issue of its appropriate use by teachers and their students alike. It has been recommended that teacher education programs provide more opportunities for teacher candidates’ use of technology including teaching their own technology-enhanced lessons. With a goal of integrating scholarship into student teaching, a teacher candidate enrolled in a graduate program in childhood education carried out a technology-enhanced research project within a professional development school. Examining the impact of the project on the teacher candidate, this article describes how one’s pedagogical content knowledge and technological competence can be developed through a research-oriented teaching experience. The article also demonstrates the emergence of a community of practice that shares the goal of providing learning spaces for the teacher candidate and young children in the context of mathematics enrichment with computers.     

Socio-scientific reasoning influenced by identities

Based on the comments by Lopez-Facal and Jiménez-Aleixandre, we consider that the cultural identities within Europe interfere with the question of the re-introduction of the Slovenian bear, generating a kind of “discrimination.” When the SAQs under debate run against the students’ systems of value, it seems that the closer the connection between the SAQs (socially acute questions) and the territorial and cultural identity, the more deeply the associated systems of values are affected; and the more the evidence is denied, the weaker the socio-scientific reasoning becomes. This result shows the importance of attempting to get the students to clarify the values underlying their socio-scientific reasoning. As Sadler observed, there was no transfer of socio-scientific reasoning on the three questions considered; each SAQ, as they are deeply related to social representations and identity, generated a specific line of reasoning balancing more or less each operation. Among various methods of teaching SAQs—problematizing, genetic, doctrinal and praxeological methods––socio-scientific reasoning may be a complex activity of problematization fostering the development of critical thinking. Confronted with the refusal to analyse the evidence in the case of the bear, and because of the nature of SAQs, we explore the notion of tangible proof. We think it relevant to study, together with the students, the processes of investigation used by the actors to establish or disestablish tangible proof on SAQs by analysing the intermediary states of the systems of proof, and possibly the “weak signals” which result in calling for the implementation of the precautionary principle.

关于转基因水稻商业化辩论——相关的伦理与公共治理问题

中国正在积极推进生物技术在农业和食品产业中的应用以应对日趋重要的粮食安全问题,但2009年10月以来出现的有关转基因水稻商业化的辩论却使这种战略计划面临严峻挑战。在这场社会辩论中,中国公众不仅仅关注转基因商业化可能对人类、环境和社会带来的负面影响,而且对转基因水稻商业化决策和审批过程的合法性和透明性提出质疑,要求进行相应的规制改革。总体而言,有三类基本的伦理问题成为这场社会辩论的核心议题,它们是权利问题、利益实现方式问题和责任问题。与此相应,政府需要应对的公共治理问题包括信任问题、规制改革问题和实施问题。
