应用型本科高校大学生信息素养能力现状的研究——以上海为例

大学生作为社会发展的重要力量,其信息素养能力日益引起了人们的重视。本研究对上海应用型本科高校的大学生信息素养现状进行了研究,结果发现:(1)信息素养能力方面:应用型本科大学生的信息素养能力水平具有不均衡性的特点;在大学生信息素养能力的4个维度上,大学生的信息意识水平是最高的,信息应用与创新方面的能力偏低,而信息安全与道德则是最低的。(2)信息素养能力影响因素方面:在信息素养能力整体水平上,更容易受学习成绩的影响;在信息素养能力不同的维度上,不同的因素对不同的维度存在着不同的影响;学生的学习成绩对大学生的信息素养影响是最广泛的。     

审美鉴赏与创造:文学教育发展的新动向

随着"审美鉴赏与创造"成为语文核心素养的重要组成部分,基于核心素养要求重视文学教育成了语文教育的新趋势:从侧重培养"鉴赏力"到呼唤学生"创造力";基于"审美鉴赏与创造"的文学教育形成了"核心—素养—交往—支持"四层同心圆结构。该素养落地的路径是鉴赏与创造的整合:以鉴赏促创造、以创造促鉴赏、鉴赏创造共同促进学习。     

“素养为本”的化学课堂教学的设计与实施

提高"素养为本"化学课堂教学能力是新修订的《普通高中化学课程标准(2017年版)》对教师提出的新要求。"素养为本"化学课堂教学要以发展学生化学学科核心素养为主旨,将落脚点放在课堂教学设计和实施上。教学设计应注重学科主题整体设计,课堂教学板块和学习任务的具体设计,教学实施应注重采取化学核心教学策略,引导学生形成化学认识视角和认识思路,发展学生高阶思维。

The incorporation of hands-on tasks in an online course: an analysis of a blended learning environment

This article describes the design and evaluation of a blended online/face-to-face course completed by more than 6000 learners throughout the United States of America and internationally. The educational impact was monitored using a variety of evaluation strategies. The results, in terms of achieved knowledge and overall satisfaction, indicate that a focus on online instruction combined with face-to-face, hands-on activities showed statistically significant improvement in the learners' understanding of the course material, while also validating the impact of the curriculum in their workplace. As illustrated through the blended course design, this study further showed that online learners with greater improvement in their pre- and posttest scores also exhibited significantly greater likelihood in demonstrating competency in several areas during the hands-on portion of the course. In particular, participants working in the information systems field exhibited the highest mean difference score (21.49) on the pre- and the posttests, while those working in the laboratory had the lowest (12.17). Likewise, the odds that participants who reviewed the course contents sought to further understand their job roles was 58.2 times greater for those in information systems, while it was only 19.0 times greater for laboratory staff, than those who did not review their job roles.     

INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM ON CAMPUS

Despite many obstacles, investigative journalism continues to flourish in Australia. A significant part of the explanation for this appears to lie with universities which have journalism programs. Investigative journalism has a strong presence in these programs across Australia, a presence which is increasingly being felt at postgraduate level. As a result, an increasing number of journalism graduates have the skills and understanding necessary to embark on serious investigative work, and several institutions have embarked on projects with innovative approaches to collaborative investigative work. However, the wider context in which Australia's tertiary institutions operate is far from benign, and journalism programs—and thus the teaching of investigative journalism—are subject to many pressures. The paper finds that, although university journalism programs are increasingly taking responsibility for educating their students about investigative journalism, thereby picking up a key responsibility which would once have been borne entirely by the industry, there are also forces at work which limit their capacity to do this.     

The Politics of Standards and the Education of Teachers

A number of industrialized countries around the world are in the process of creating new directions for education, focused on elementary and secondary schools and the preparation of teachers in universities. Those directions, it has been suggested, will enhance not only the education of children and adolescents, but will lead to expansive improvements in people's social and economic well-being and will advance our technological capacities. Teacher educators and K-12 teachers are now in the midst of coming to grips with a new approach to the education of prospective and veteran teachers. While I am not sanguine about earlier attempts to improve the quality of teacher education programs, I also believe the current emphasis on national standards for P-12 teachers and university faculty in the United States and elsewhere must be challenged and critiqued. Standards Based Teacher Education (SBTE) relies on a set of ideas and commitments that needs to be both understood and critiqued. The SBTE process has approved sets of aligned external standards that encompass specific kinds of performances, outcomes and dispositions, and are linked to accreditation requirements. The process of teaching in this system is based on a technical-rational approach to teaching, and largely ignores social, political, and philosophical understandings. The present paper provides an analysis of SBTE and its shortcomings, as well as suggesting an alternative vision for the preparation of teachers.
