The Post-Modern Student

Abstract

The differences between present-day post-modern students and educators from older generations require changes in educational approach, but also challenge post-modern trends. Students' postmodern experiences may lead them to seek individuality among diverse sources of identity, seeing knowledge as a throwaway consumption good, and education promotes flexibility and “edutainment.” However, professional education trains people for structured managerialist organisations and the accumulation of shared professional knowledge. Social work education needs to be reframed as a process of emergence in which educators and students work jointly to create knowledge and identity in their professional area. To operate in an increasingly complex and changing society, students need to create a strong professional identity and learn how to transfer knowledge and values from one situation to another. In this way, social work education connects with the Danish managerial concept of “chaos pilots” in which students are prepared to deal with cultural and social change.     

三重视角下融合技术的学科教学知识之内涵与特征

TPACK（融合技术的学科教学知识）是信息时代全新的教师知识框架,对于理解信息化教学诉求之下的教师知识发展具有重要的意义。TPACK的知识内涵与特征,亟待更加丰富而深入的阐释。通过文献分析,首次提出了理解TPACK内涵的三重视角：在跨学科视角下,TPACK是教师对跨学科认知方式与信息技术的交互所做出的明智设计和无缝衔接;在解构视角下,TPACK是教师对信息技术与特定学科（或主题）活动和特定主题表征之间的有机融合;在纵深视角下,TPACK是教师采纳技术并使之融入学科教学的多方面进阶与渐进式改变。据此,进一步阐述了TPACK的特征为融合转化性、复杂多面性、动态层级性、实践生成性和个人创造性。     

美国科技政策浅析

美国的科技政策主要分为四个阶段建国后至二战前、二战至二十世纪六十年代末、七十年代至八十年代末、九十年代至今。每个阶段的科技政策都有不同特点。但总体来说美国的不同阶段的科技政策又有相同点,即重视科技的优良传统、历届政府重视科技、科学界内外协调、注重基础科学研究、过度和军事结合。美国的科技政策对我国有很大的启示意义。启示主要有以下几点：重视基础科学研究、完善科学界内外部关系、实时调整科技政策、培养良好的重视科学的传统。     

基于VRP的中小学虚拟科技馆的设计和实现

中小学虚拟科技馆作为建设数字化校园的一部分,可以使学生在虚拟科技馆中自由浏览,体验或操控虚拟展示的科学技术和产品,弥补实体科技馆的局限,培养学生的科学精神和素养。文章阐述了建设中小学三维立体虚拟科技馆的步骤、虚拟科技馆的数据采集与教学设计、虚拟科技馆建筑与展品的建模与烘培方法以及利用VR-Platform构建虚拟场景、实现虚拟交互控制的方法。

张弛之间——古代天命思想与科技发展关系探讨

古代产生的"天命"思想及周代对"天命"的新理解,把"人"推向了历史舞台之前台。使人可以从"天命可变"的角度去理解社会的变革及自然界的变化。自此以后,这一思想对于人类对自然界的探索和认识利用产生了深远的影响。特别是对于我国古代科技发展的演变起到了重要的作用。在一张一弛之间,我国的科技发展经历了由萌芽、积累、繁盛、到缓滞、落后。从中我们可以吸取不少的经验和教训。     

Relationship between science knowledge levels and beliefs toward science instruction held by preservice elementary teachers

Aspects of science background knowledge and attitudes toward teaching science were examined among preservice elementary teachers. The results indicated a low level of science knowledge, a negative relationship between science knowledge and attitude toward teaching science, and a marked lack of confidence toward teaching science among the prospective teachers. Some interesting paradoxes were also found. Recommendations concerning preservice preparation, inclusion of academic science coursework, and collaborative efforts between college departments are offered.

Inference making ability and its relation to comprehension failure in young children

Young children's reading comprehension skill is associated with their ability to draw inferences (Oakhill 1982, 1984). An experiment was conducted to investigate the direction of this relation and to explore possible sources of inferential failure. Three groups of children participated: Same-age skilled and less skilled comprehenders, and a comprehension-age match group. The pattern of performance indicated that the ability to make inferences was not a by-product of good reading comprehension, rather that good inference skills are a plausible cause of good reading comprehension ability. Failure to make inferences could not be attributed to lack of relevant general knowledge. Instead, the pattern of errors indicated that differences in reading strategy were the most likely source of these group differences.
