实施快乐体育教学中对培养学生意志品质的思考

采用文献资料法、观察法和专家访谈法,对当前学校体育实施快乐体育教学的现状进行分析。认为在实施快乐体育教学中不仅要让学生快乐,而且应该在快乐中培养学生的意志品质。     

论体育院系学生知识技能的掌握与能力的培养

通过文献资料研究和多年教学实践的总结,较全面地论述了知识技能的掌握与能力培养的辩证关系;关提出体育院系学生能力培养的基本途径与方法。     

中日大学生体力健康认知态度等比较研究

采用测试与问卷调查相结合的方法,对中国与日本大学生的体力及体力健康认知态度等现状,进行对比分析。结果发现,在体力方面,日本大学生优于中国;在体力健康认知态度上,两国大学生各有差异。     

硕士生《马克思主义经典著作选读》的不足与建议——探索编写《中国特色社会主义理论体系基本著作及重要文献选读》

笔者认为硕士生《马克思主义经典著作选读》，没有贯彻与时俱进的原则，也没有贯彻“要精，要管用”的原则，也没有根据不同专业学生的特点来编写适当的教材。因此建议用《中国特色社会主义理论体系基本著作及重要文献选读》予以取代。     

大学生身体自我、学业自我与生活满意感的关系

采用身体自尊量表、学业自我评价问卷、一般自尊量表和生活满意感量表对大学生进行调查，探讨身体自我、学业自我与生活满意感的关系以及体育和学业成绩不同的大学生身体自我、学业自我的差异性。分层回归分析表明，身体自尊和学业自我能够对大学生一般生活满意感进行可靠的预测，预测能力没有性别差异。多元方差分析表明，体育与学业的不同成绩及其性别对身体自我、学业自我各量表均有不同的主效应，对大学生身体自我及学业自我评价的交互作用不显著。     

Joint trajectories of behavioral,affective, and cognitive engagement in elementary school

The aim of the present study was to model student trajectories of behavioral, affective, and cognitive engagement from Grade 3 to Grade 6. The authors also examined whether teachers perceptions could predict student trajectory membership. The authors collected data from a sample of 831 students and 152 teachers. Using multiple-process growth mixture modeling, they identified 5 distinct trajectories of student engagement. Although a large majority of children presented a stable and high level of engagement on the three dimensions over time, more than one third of them showed a lower or changing level of engagement as the years progressed. These students were more likely to be boys and to be perceived by teachers as being less engaged. They also present more learning or behavioral problems and share less positive relationships with teachers. The results support the need to consider group-based differences when designing and adapting prevention and intervention strategies to favor student engagement.     

Student performance in computing education: an empirical analysis of online learning in programming education environments

The benefits of using online exercises have been analysed in terms of distance learning, automatic assessment and self-regulated learning. In this study, we have not found a direct proportional relationship between student performance in the course exercises that use online technologies and the exam grades. We see that the average submission rate to these online exercises is not positively correlated with the exercise points. Yet, our results confirm that doing exercises along supports student learning and skill accumulation equipping them with the knowledge of programming. While the student performance in programming courses is affected by factors such as prior background in programming, cognitive skills and the quality of teaching, completing the course exercises via learning-by-doing is an indispensable part of teaching. Based on the student feedback from the course survey, the students are highly satisfied with using online technologies as part of learning.     

Persistence factors revealed: students’ reflections on completing a fully online program

Despite their rapid growth, online programs routinely face student attrition. How to retain students and help them successfully complete is usually a top priority for online programs. This study investigated persistence factors that contributed to students’ successful completion from one of the largest and most successful online programs in the United States of America. Results show that both personal and program attributes contributed to students’ successful completion of a fully online program. Main individual attributes include interest in or career goals related to technology, time and effort invested, and perceived utility of learning. Main program attributes include relevancy of courses to individual or professional needs, satisfaction with courses and program, and ties between coursework and job promotion. Results of this study have implications in terms of prioritizing different attributes and strategizing resources to improve completion and graduation rates for fully online programs.     

A collaborative assessment of students’ placement learning

The research informing this paper set out to investigate the qualitative experiences of students, supervisors and tutors involved in a summative collaborative assessment of placement learning on an undergraduate professional qualifying programme in the UK. Analysis of data gathered through semi-structured interviews provides valuable insights into its use. In particular, engagement in a collaborative assessment brings a degree of exposure for all concerned. Participants need to feel ‘able’ to participate, and ability to participate is linked to notions of agency and autonomy. Collaborative assessment design needs to acknowledge power relations and include strategies to reduce imbalances. The importance of recognising and working with the complexities of assessment should not be underestimated. Criterion referencing offers a guide to support consistency but can also falsely present assessment as mechanistic and instrumental. The research shows that it is in the ‘doing’ of assessment that a ‘shared language’ is developed. It demonstrates the value of active student engagement in assessment in relation to the construction and use of theory, developing reflective practice and assessment literacy. The collaborative assessment provides students with the opportunity to experience a ‘performance of understanding’ in a community of practice that, whilst pressured, reflects ‘real’ professional life.
