Theo Jansen project in engineering design course and a design example

Objectives of a project-oriented mechanical engineering course, Engineering Design, were achieved through a design project, where students designed, built and demonstrated an extreme version of a basic Theo Jansen device. Through this project, junior students in the University of Louisiana fully developed the capability of applying mathematic and kinematic knowledge in the analysis and design of mechanisms. Students also developed oral and written communication skills, which would be used in design environments, through the presentation of results in both oral and written forms. An assessment of the design project indicated that effective teaching and learning spread through the semester, with the junior students acting as project managers and experiencing design practices. An example of a student-designed Theo Jansen device is presented in this paper to show the study results achieved by the students.     

A comparison of online versus traditional student end‐of‐course critiques in resident courses

This study outlines the intraclass differences between online and traditional student end‐of‐course critiques (EOCCs) only in the context of resident courses. Previous research into these differences appears limited to studies that compare entire classes rather than studies within any given class. Hypotheses are stated that the administration method has an effect on: how students will rate EOCCs, EOCC response rates, and, the detail level, favourability level and number of EOCC comments. In this field experiment, students in resident business courses at a large university comprised the sample. Individuals from within each class were randomly assigned either to a control group that completed a traditional paper‐based EOCC or to an experimental group that completed a similar EOCC online. Comments were coded with regard to the level of detail, favourability and total number of comments. Analysis of variance was used to compare the two groups with regard to ratings, comments and response rates. Online EOCCs had lower response rates, lower overall ratings, but more detailed comments. The methodology had no significant effect on the number or favourability level of comments.

高校课程大纲的功能和要件:兼论我国大学课程大纲制度之现状

在高等教育发达的国家和地区,课程大纲是高校教师开课之初必须向选课学生提供的文件。本文在讨论高校课程大纲的功能和基本内容后,报告了我国两所重点高校相关调查结果。对N大学社会科学本科生专业课课程大纲使用情况的调查表明,该校教学中缺乏课程大纲制度和文化,严重影响了本科生和研究生的教育质量。对N和X大学部分教师的调查表明,90%受访教师认为大多数中国高校教师提供的课程大纲不符合国际规范。中国大学课程大纲现状,是其整体教师队伍尚处于前职业阶段的写照。     

新课程下英语教师的现状及对教师教育的启示

对在职英语教师所做的一项调查显示：传统教师教育阶段的课程没有为师范生今后从事外语教育教学准备必要的语言学和外语教育学研究意识;传统教师教育课程未能给师范生留下持久有效的影响;教师教育没有为师范生后天可持续发展所需核心能力提供充分有效的训练。因此,教师教育需要从单纯培养知识技能型外语人才转向培养应用型研究人才;要重新审视实践的作用,调整实践结构,加大实践比重,协调好理论讲解与实践经验的关系;要培养学生具有后天可持续发展能力,尤其要重视训练其自我反思的能力。     

研究生英语教学质量提高途径刍议——以地方性医科院校为例

学习者情感因素与英语专业精读课程教学

情感因素影响语言习得,而精读课程是英语专业学生语言习得的一门重要课程。精读课程由于其教学学时长、练习多等特征,容易使学习者产生厌烦情绪,最终影响语言习得的效果。因此,解析学习者的各种情感因素,有效发挥情感因素的积极作用,可以增进师生感情,活跃课堂气氛,完善精读课程教学,促进学生综合语言能力的习得。
