From chalk to keyboard in higher education classrooms: changes and coherence when integrating technological knowledge into pedagogical content knowledge

Abstract

The European Higher Education Area has promoted reconsidering the role played by teachers at universities. Faculties are expected to design learning activities that promote the acquisition of competencies among students. In this context, technologies have garnered prominence as they contribute to creating student-centred learning environments. This study answers these research questions: (1) To what extent has university teaching changed with the implementation of digital technologies in university classrooms? What technology-based learning activities are incorporated in instructional designs by the teachers? (2) How does the faculty describe the integration of technological knowledge into pedagogical content knowledge when designing and developing technology-based learning activities? (3) According to university teachers, which other factors (intrinsic or extrinsic) determine the use of digital technologies in their learning designs? To answer these questions, we have collected data from two differentiated samples of university teachers using the Inventory of Learning Activities with Technology at the University and semi-structured interviews. First, the results reveal that teachers use technologies to carry out learning activities focusing on the content and the teacher. Student-centred learning activities are only timidly being incorporated. Second, the extent to which such activities are implemented is linked to the teachers’ techno-pedagogical content knowledge. Third, the factors that facilitate or inhibit teachers from using technologies in the teaching–learning process respond to intrinsic aspects, such as teachers’ knowledge and beliefs, but also to extrinsic and contextual issues, such as the discipline taught or institutional policy at the university regarding the use of educational technologies.     

普通话测试中轻声误读现象研究

轻声是汉语最常见的一种音变现象,是普通话测试必考内容之一。通过对参加普通话测试的37名学生问卷调查,发现轻声字的误读现象十分严重。在统计的基础上把这些错误进行分类,探讨造成这种误读现象的原因,为了更好地掌握轻声字的发音,提出学好普通话轻音的对策。     

浅析当代大学生价值自信的现状及培育

价值自信,是在对某种思想观念或者政策方针所包含的价值理念的强烈认同基础上而产生的积极自我评价。当代大学生在初入社会时会遇到很多困难和挫折,容易产生价值不自信的消极思想,这对大学生本人以及社会都是不利的,只有清晰地了解自身的价值所在,树立稳固的价值自信,才能得到社会的广泛认同,也才能促进个人的发展,为社会作出贡献。因此,研究大学生的价值自信问题意义重大。     

语言疑问标示的类型学分析

疑问句的存在是语言的普遍特征之一,但不同语言在标示其疑问句时所采用的具体方式却不尽相同。本文主要着力于一般疑问句之疑问标示的跨语言对比研究,把“人类语言”的一般疑问句标示方式划分为疑问小词法、词缀法、移位法和变调法四类,对语言疑问标示作一类型学分析。     

河东方言的性别标记

汉语南方方言在表达性别标记时,无论用词、语序,还是语法性质上都有很大差异,而北方方言在一定程度上有很大相似性。本文主要以河东方言作为参考点对南北方言词语中的性别标记进行比较。

运动员损伤后的自信心恢复

在竞技运动中,运动员损伤后,如何尽快恢复自信心,重返赛场?在文献研究的基础上,对影响自信心恢复的因素及怎样采取合理措施进行自信心恢复训练,作了概括和进一步的探讨.本文中目标取向和社会支持是影响运动员自信心恢复的主要因素.倾向于任务取向的运动员,对自信心评价水平较高,具有高社会支持感的运动员更易于自信心的恢复.因此在恢复期,确立以提高运动能力为目的的康复目标,营造充满温暖、关爱的心理环境,对促进运动员自信心的恢复有重要意义.
