数学文化的教育功能及启示

数学是人类的一种文化,它的内容、思想、方法和语言是现代文明的重要组成部分。数学文化具有传统性、渗透性、哲学性、美学性和自我完善性等特征,进行数学文化教育能帮助学生形成正确的数学观、促进学生深刻理解数学的本质、发展理性精神。在数学教学中要注重科学主义与人文主义目标的整合、要揭示数学文化的内涵,多角度开展数学文化研究。

Administrative and structural changes in student evaluations of teaching and their effects on overall instructor scores

Using nine years of student evaluation of teaching (SET) data from a large US research university, we examine whether changes to the SET instrument have a substantial impact on overall instructor scores. Our study exploits four distinct natural experiments that arose when the SET instrument was changed. To maximise power, we compare the same course/instructor before and after each of the four changes occurred. We find that switching from in-class, paper course evaluations to online evaluations generates an average change of ?0.14 points on a five-point scale, or 0.25 standard deviations (SDs) in the overall instructor ratings. Changing labelling of the scale and the wording of the overall instructor question generates another decrease in the average rating: ?0.15 of a point (0.27 SDs). In contrast, extending the evaluation period to include the final examination and offering an incentive (early grade release) for completing the evaluations do not have a statistically significant effect on the overall instructor rating. The cumulative impact of these individual changes is ?0.29 points (0.52 SDs). This large decrease shows that SET scores are not comparable over time when instruments change. Therefore, administrators should measure and account for such changes when using historical benchmarks for evaluative purposes (e.g. appointments and compensation).

微信联合临床技能竞赛在诊断学教学中的应用

目的:探讨微信联合临床技能竞赛在诊断学教学中应用的效果。方法:徐州医科大学2012级影像医学专业2个班级分别作为实验组和对照组,实验组采用微信联合临床技能竞赛教学,对照组采用传统教学。两组采集病史均采用标准化病人。教学结束后,通过考试及问卷调查,统计两种教学成果。结果:实验组成绩明显优于对照组(P<0.05),实验组学生在提高学习兴趣、自学能力、分析解决问题能力、沟通能力等方面的满意度均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:微信联合临床技能竞赛进行诊断学教学的方法对比传统教学优势明显。     

Improving Academic Performance of Sport and Exercise Science Undergraduate Students in Gross Anatomy Using a Near-Peer Teaching Program

Peer and near-peer teaching programs are common in medical undergraduate courses. However, there are no studies that have investigated the effectiveness of a near-peer teaching program on the academic performance of undergraduate students pursuing sport and exercise science coursework. This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of such a program for students who participated in a course on the functional anatomy of the locomotor apparatus. A total of 39 student participants were divided into two groups: students in one group voluntarily attended at least one session of a near-peer teaching program, and students in the other group attended no sessions. The final grade (range 0–100%) was recorded and used as an indicator of academic performance. The final grade of students who attended the near-peer teaching program (69.5 ± 16.0%) was 38.7% higher (P = 0.002, d = 1.06) than those who did not (50.1 ± 20.4%). When the academic performance of the same students was evaluated in another course (exercise physiology) that did not offer a near-peer teaching program, there were no significant differences between the groups (students who attended or did not attend the near-peer teaching program). A significant positive association was found between near-peer teaching program frequency and the number of students approved and not approved in the course (P = 0.041). A significant difference (P = 0.001) was found in the attendance at regular classes between the group who participated in the near-peer teaching program (median: 62 hours; IQR [interquartile ranges]: 4.0 hours) and those who did not (median: 58 hours; IQR: 4.0 hours). Gender was not a moderating factor on academic performance or near-peer teaching program attendance. These results highlight the effectiveness of a near-peer teaching program on the academic performance of students from a sport and exercise science degree program while enrolled in an anatomy course.
