大学英语教师实践性知识构建：一项自我研究

本文以“可能自我”为理论视角,运用自我研究法探究一名大学英语教师实践性知识构建特征以及自我认知对构建过程的影响。研究结果显示：1）该教师实践性知识的构建呈现内容上的阶段性侧重和路径上的合作学习倾向;2）缩减“希望成为的自我”和现实自我的差距并远离“害怕成为的自我”是教师构建实践性知识的动机,教师在各阶段为弥合现有实践性知识与“希望成为的教师”所需知识之间的差异而进行的实践是其知识构建的重要手段。     

汉语“如”字句研究述评

“如”字句是汉语比较句中的常见句式,但相比“比”字句的研究略显不足。通过对目前学界涉及到“如”字句的相关研究进行回顾与梳理,发现目前“如”字句研究总体上呈现出重共时句式研究,轻历时梳理研究;重句法语义研究,轻语用研究;重描写轻解释的特点。整体存在问题有:(一)“如”字句尚未形成系统性研究;(二)“如”字句的历时研究较为薄弱;(三)“如”字句语用研究相对薄弱;(四)“如”字句研究成果中缺乏深入性与创新性。并随后提出一些浅薄的研究展望。     

“学习支持服务”概念探索

"学习支持服务"是远程教育成功的关键因素之一,但在目前远程开放教育中,这个概念的界定并不十分清楚.在国内出版的各种词典中,还没有"学习支持服务"的词条和定义.本文通过对这个问题产生的原因以及约翰·A·巴斯、霍姆佰格、戴维·西沃特、安东尼·凯和格伦维尔·鲁姆勃尔理论研究成果探索的基础上,尝试给"学支持服务"下一个定义,以便对从事远程教育的工作者有所启示.

A theory of instruction for introductory programming skills

ABSTRACT

Background and Context: Current introductory instruction fails to identify, structure, and sequence the many skills involved in programming.

Objective: We proposed a theory which identifies four distinct skills that novices learn incrementally. These skills are tracing, writing syntax, comprehending templates (reusable abstractions of programming knowledge), and writing code with templates. We theorized that explicit instruction of these skills decreases cognitive demand.

Method: We conducted an exploratory mixed-methods study and compared students’ exercise completion rates, error rates, ability to explain code, and engagement when learning to program. We compared material that reflects this theory to more traditional material that does not distinguish between skills.

Findings: Teaching skills incrementally resulted in improved completion rate on practice exercises, and decreased error rate and improved understanding of the post-test.

Implications: By structuring programming skills such that they can be taught explicitly and incrementally, we can inform instructional design and improve future research on understanding how novice programmers develop understanding.     

The Politics of Emotions in ELT: Structure of Feeling and Anxiety of Korean English Teachers

ABSTRACT

Using the notion of structure of feeling by Raymond Williams, this article seeks to illuminate an ideological understanding of Korean English teachers’ anxiety and deep sense of insecurity in English language teaching (ELT). Through a discussion of how their anxiety is grounded deeply within unequal social relations and how they reframe their anxiety through critical reflection on the cultural and ideological bias of their own anxiety, it points out the intricate relationship between ideology and emotion; teachers’ emotions are shaped by dominant ideologies that constitute the social structures constraining their position as teachers, while their engagement with those emotions also enables their self-transformation towards gaining confidence as teachers. The results of the study emphasise the tension between social structure and agency in teachers’ emotional experiences and discuss implications for teacher education and development.
