道德负熵系统理论及其对新时代思想道德建设的启示

道德负熵是对道德系统演化产生有序性、确定性、能量有效性等进化状态或趋向的量度。道德负熵系统是基于复杂系统理论和熵的辩证思想构建的复杂系统,是体现道德系统与环境相互联系、相互作用的进化系统。道德负熵系统通过一定的价值观念、原则或规范控制道德系统与环境及其要素的相互联系和相互作用,实现系统组织塑造、价值信息运作、因果关系协同等结构与功能,不断克服熵增。深入探究道德负熵系统对道德系统与环境的进化影响,能够为新时代思想道德建设提供积极的启示。     

职业教育调动学生学习积极性的思考

学习动机是直接推动学生进行学习的一种内部动力。学生学习积极性的形成与学习动机的激发有着内在的联系。学习动机的激发是形成学生学习积极性的内在因素,学习发生的深层次根源来自主体的认知需要,然而学习的实际发生则常常需要来自外部环境的刺激。就是说从根本上缺乏认知内需,学习无法发生,但是没有外部环境的刺激,学习上也难以自发启动。尤其是对于职业院校学生来说,其学习动机更需要依靠教师去激发和调动。在实际工作中,要同时发挥内外两种动机的作用,抓住一切机会,提高学生主动参与性,激发、调动学生学习的积极性,帮助学生进行有效学习。     

Leveraging information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance education equity,quality, and efficiency: case studies of Bangladesh and Nepal

ABSTRACT

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have had significant impacts on many sectors in today’s knowledge economy. In developing and emerging countries, ICT have enhanced equity, quality, and efficiency in the education sector. However, the adoption of ICT in the South Asian countries’ education sector has not been at scale and its impacts have been limited. There are several gaps and issues that are hindering the wider adoption of ICT and limiting its impacts in the education sector. Through the case studies of the adoption of ICT for education in Bangladesh and Nepal, this paper examines the gaps and issues to be addressed in order to better leverage ICT to enhance education equity, quality, and efficiency. This discussion is guided by the ICT in the education framework that has been developed by the authors, and could provide insights into the state of ICT in education and offer strategies to better leverage ICT for the education sector of other countries in South Asia and the region.

智慧教育转型与变革

智慧教育不仅是智能技术在教育中的应用,更是智能时代教育的全面转型与变革。文章结合智能时代的三大发展趋势:即人机物三元融合、主动智能服务与人机结合的分布式认知,从基础环境、智能形态、培养模式、教育生态、育人目标五个维度提出了智慧教育转型与变革的关键所在,包括拥有主动智能的教育环境、人机协同的教育智能、大规模个性化的人才培养模式、虚实融合的教育新生态和智能时代的创新人才培养。在此基础上,面向智慧教育转型与变革的实践落地,提出了三点关键建议,包括建立数据无缝流转的生态体系、推进教育公共服务模式创新、高度重视专业性的教育服务,期望为智能时代智慧教育的转型与变革提供一定的参考与应用启示。     

试论基础教育课程改革的区域推进模式

基础教育课程改革的区域推进模式是指以县或区为单位,将基础教育纳入本地区政治经济文化建设的系统中,在区党委政府的支持下,由教育主管部门统筹、组织、实施的,以课程改革带动各学校内涵发展并提升教育质量的一种实践方式。这一模式具有实际推进整体性、理念目标一致性和工作任务周期性等特点,显示出力度大、效率高的优势。运用此模式首先要开展科学的顶层设计,提高从区域教育主管部门到学校组织机构各层级主体的课程领导力,通过构建学习型组织和提高组织的学习力,来积极应对改革实践中遇到的新挑战、新问题,并通过建立健全相关体制机制来保障课程改革的深入推进。     

Strengthening internal quality assurance as a lever for enhancing student learning experiences and academic success: lessons from Namibia

Higher education plays an important role in the social, economic and political development of any given nation. In the Namibian context, quality assurance systems have been put in place at both national and institutional levels through the establishment of national quality assurance agencies and units responsible for quality in institutions. A critical literature analysis of quality assurance systems in higher education shows that although they claim to strike a balance between improvement and accountability, external quality assurance mechanisms tend to have an accountability and compliance focus and to promote managerialisation and bureaucratisation of academia. This article argues that internal quality assurance systems, built on a strong quality culture, tend to be more effective in enhancing the quality of student learning experience and academic success than externally driven quality assurance. Thus, to promote genuine quality, more energy must be invested in external quality assurance capacitating and strengthening internal quality assurance systems.     

Teachers’ Lives in Context: A Framework for Understanding Barriers to High-Quality Teaching Within Resource Deprived Settings

There is a profound for more effective schools, especially within resource-poor communities in low- and middle-income countries. A wide range of literature identifies teachers as the most critical component of schools in regards to student learning. Despite this, there is a dearth of literature on how teachers' experiences influence their ability to attend school, remain in the teaching profession, and provide high quality teaching within the classroom. This study presents a theoretical framework for understanding the role of teachers' lives in context (skills, knowledge, and attitudes; poverty and health; contextual supports/barriers to teaching) in influencing teacher effectiveness. This framework builds upon Tseng and Seidman's (2007) systems framework for understanding youth social settings in order to incorporate teachers' lives into a larger model of educational effectiveness. This synthesis reveals significant gaps in our understanding of teachers' experiences and how they affect teaching. At the teacher attendance, attrition, and pedagogical quality and a key moderator of educational interventions. Implications for research, practice, and policy are discussed.     

Sustainable development as a driver for educational innovation in engineering school: the case of UniLaSalle

ABSTRACT

The potential relationships between innovation and sustainability processes, in engineering education, is neither obvious nor simple, especially when innovation, generally speaking, is promoted regardless of sustainability. We used UniLaSalle (In January 2016, the ‘Institut Polytechnique LaSalle Beauvais’, a French engineering school, merged with another higher education engineering school (ESITPA, Rouen). Both campuses (Beauvais and Rouen) have a common name: UniLaSalle (www.unilasalle.fr). As the interview began during 2015, this article only describes the situation of the Beauvais campus.) as a ‘living Lab’ to identify and analyse the reasons for the integration of innovation and Sustainable Development (SD) in training programmes. The aim is to explore, in a perception and reflective approach, how SD can be understood as a driver for specific innovation attitudes in higher education engineering school. This paper adopts an empirical approach based on a qualitative study, using NVivo 9 software to analyse non-numerical data. Our research suggests that SD can be a structural driver for innovation if it is integrated in a transdisciplinarity approach and not just as a discipline per se.     

高校体育教学加强体能训练的重要性和对策研究

高校的体育教学中,体能虽然被提出并加以强调,但在实际的课程教学中却因各种原因被忽视,未能真正合理的安排体能教学与训练。因此,提高高校体育教学中体能训练的地位和训练效果,是当前高校体育教学需要思考和解决的问题。本文运用文献资料法对体能训练的概念、高校体育教学开展体能训练的重要性进行分析,运用实验法对高校体育教学课30分钟体能训练的有效性进行研究,为高校体育教学开展体能训练献计献策。
