中职模具制造技术专业UG NX课程翻转课堂实施策略探讨

目前,国内外翻转课堂已有众多比较成熟的模式可资借鉴。但是,具体到特定的专业(学科)、课程、班级和教学内容,却不能照搬现成模式和他人经验,而必须进行适当性的改造和调整。笔者选取中职模具制造技术专业UG NX课程,梳理其教学背景,探讨实施翻转课堂的必要性和可行性,通过4次课8课时的翻转课堂实践,总结出"促进前置学习""遵循小步子原则""组织分层教学"等策略,为中职专业课翻转课堂提供参考借鉴和研究案例。     

Explaining the substantial inter-domain and over-time correlations in student achievement: the importance of stable student attributes

Multi-domain and longitudinal studies of student achievement routinely find moderate to strong correlations across achievement domains and even stronger within-domain correlations over time. The purpose of this study is to examine the sources of these patterns analysing student achievement in 5 domains across Years 3, 5 and 7. The analysis is of longitudinal population data of over 22,000 students and utilizes fixed-effects models to incorporate stable general and domain-specific latent factors. These latent factors correspond to a general cognitive-ability-like factor and specific aptitudes in particular, or types of, subject areas. The preferred model incorporates both general and domain-specific latent factors with stronger effects for the general factor, although the domain-specific factors are particularly strong for spelling and numeracy. When taking into account general and domain-specific latent factors, the effects of student’s socioeconomic status (SES) and school SES are trivial.     

How children's creative visual imagination and creative thinking relate to their representation of space

This article explores how creative visual imagination and creative thinking can help children to construct mental models of space. A mixed-method study, integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches and involving 98 five-year-old children (54 girls and 44 boys) demonstrated that creative visual imagination, rather than creative thinking, is linked with the knowledge and understanding of space. These results support the notion that creative visual imagination contributes to improvements in children's understanding of basic astronomical concepts. Interestingly, creative thinking was not associated with understanding and knowledge of cosmic phenomena in models taking into account creative imagination. The qualitative analysis showed differences in children's representations of space. We discuss the consequences of these findings for science education, particularly the teaching of elementary astronomy.

Can research on science learning and instruction inform standards for science education?

We contrast the current science education reform effort with the reforms of the 1960s and suggest how the current effort could be enhanced. We identify insights from recent research that we believe can inform the reform process, in particular, to reach all science students and also impart a cohesive view of science. We propose an alternative models view of scientific explanation and show how this view would contribute to reforms of (1) course goals, (2) social aspects of science learning, (3) instructional practices, and (4) roles for technology.This paper summarizes discussions and debates that the authors have had over the last few years. The dialogue stems, in part, from our joint participation in the American Educational Research Association Special Interest Group on Education in Science and Technology (AERA SIG:EST) leadership. This paper communicates the spirit of our thinking and does not necessarily reflect the view of SIG:EST, or any other organization.We gratefully acknowledge the support of National Science Foundation Grant MDR-9253462 in work related to this paper.

高等学校应为我国制造业的快速发展培养更多的专业人才

随着改革开放的不断深入,特别是我国进入WTO后,经济全球化的进程已成为一股不可阻挡的洪流,我国制造业必须努力进取,去适应国际通用的规则和规范的程序.在制造自动化技术方面,我国与国际上发达国家之间的差距还是比较大的,我们只有加快发展步伐,方能逐步赶上世界先进水平.如何从今天的制造大国走向明天的制造强国,这是值得我们深思的问题.作为高等学校,尤其是工科高校,为我国制造业的快速发展培养出更多的、合格的专业人才,这是我们义不容辞的责任.本文从我国制造业的现状出发,通过与国外先进制造技术的比较,找出我国制造业与世界先进水平之间存在的差距,明确今后发展的目标和重点,针对这些目标和重点,确定我们专业人才的培养方向,以及如何采取更为有效的教学手段,源源不断地培养出合格的专门化人才.

论智能制造背景下应用型本科院校的专业建设

随着《中国制造2025》的发布,智能制造成为我国制造业变革的新方向。智能制造产业变革具有“新”“变”“融”三个方面特点,对应用型本科院校专业建设提出新诉求。为了破解智能制造背景下的应用型本科院校专业建设困境,专业建设主体要由“政府主导”转向“学校主导”;专业建设目标要把握人才类型的“应用性”与“区域性”;专业建设内容要实现课程“模块化”,突出教学“实践性”;专业建设保障要构建“双师双能型”教师队伍。
