Purposeful play during learning centre time: from curriculum to practice

This article explores the correspondence between the vision of play articulated in Singapore’s national kindergarten curriculum framework and the play-related pedagogies enacted by teachers on the ground, particularly during Learning Centre Time (LCT). Influenced by neo-liberal ways of thinking, the curriculum states that purposeful play is a medium to achieve intended learning outcomes. The study is part of a longitudinal project where 108 Kindergarten 1 classrooms were videotaped during a full ‘typical day’ (3–4 h). While learning centres were set up in all classrooms, only 36 LCT episodes were identified. Certain learning centre types (literacy, arts) were more common than others (numeracy, science), and time spent by teachers in the different centres varied widely. Children were allowed limited freedom of choice while playing in learning centres, and some were even required to complete assignments. While teachers tended to adopt facilitative roles, quality of instructional support provided to children was low. We conclude that pedagogical practices during LCT in the observed classrooms do not adequately reflect the curriculum’s vision of purposeful play. This theory/practice gap might be due to curriculum expectations, teacher-related factors (beliefs, lack of preparation) and parental pressures. Implications, limitations and lines for future research are discussed.

专业化发展视角下的教师教学风格论析

教师的专业化发展是教师成长的内在需求,也是教师发展的重要方向,而教师专业化发展在成熟阶段中所表现出的最高境界是教师教学的风格化。教学风格有其独特的内涵、形成过程、基本途径和内部发展规律,教学风格与教学智慧、教学艺术性、教学机智紧密相关。在课堂教学中磨砺、在课例研究中积累皇形成教学风格,实现教师专业化发展的重要途径。     

基于公平视角的科学探究能力评价研究

采用纸笔测验、工作单和现场观察评价178名初三学生的科学探究能力,以研究不同评价方式对不同学生群体的公平性问题。结果发现,男生和女生、场独立型和场依存型的学生、不同物理成绩的学生与工作单和现场观察没有交互作用,但与纸笔测验和工作单(或现场观察)都有一定交互作用。这些发现表明,为了让所有学生公平地展示科学探究能力,应该综合采用纸笔测验、工作单和现场观察等评价方式。

伴随人工智能时代的到来,教育界自身需要勇敢摆脱传统知识教学,特别是事实性知识主导的窠臼。在事实性知识主导转变为方法性知识主导的趋势下,教师“活化教学”能力是教育成败的关键,而教师“活化教学”能力的生成又紧密关联教育化知识形式的研究进展。因此,教师教学应把知识“活”出智慧、“化”为人格,理解教育化知识形式的内涵,明了知识生产、课程编制、教学实施、学生理解这四重课程知识生成转化路径,掌握课程交互生成特性,并构建教师“活化教学”能力的“人—能—文—智”素质结构。     

Initiating education reform through lesson study at a university in Indonesia

This paper analyses the issues involved in promoting lesson study in an Indonesian university, based on a case study of the Faculty of Mathematics and Science (FMIPA) of the State University of Yogyakarta. Five points are discussed. First, conducting lesson study with schools revealed that the faculty managers noticed the ignorance about lesson study in FMIPA and decided to conduct lesson study by themselves to learn more. Second, despite using a didactic teaching approach initially, more faculty members began using group work in their lessons. Third, despite the emphasis on the importance of observing students' learning realities, most faculty members focused on teaching methodology. Fourth, in terms of reflection, they could be classified as evaluation‐minded in order to be critical about the observed lessons, and learning‐minded to appreciate the observed lessons. Fifth, the strong involvement of managers is necessary to develop lesson study as a daily teaching and learning practice.     

统觉:冯契哲学的重要范畴

冯契立足于马克思主义哲学,批判地继承了康德的“统觉”范畴。作为其哲学的一个重要范畴,他的“统觉”包括两个部分：所思的判断和能思的自证。文章从三个方面对冯契的“统觉”范畴进行了探究：统觉的内涵、康德与冯契“统觉”范畴的异同、冯契“统觉”范畴的内容。
