高职院校专业实践教学的问题与对策

职业技术学院对实践教学环节的重视不应当单纯体现在实践教学在总教学课时中所占的比例．更重要的是要提高实践教学的内在质量。职业技术教育的实践教学中应当探索建立相对独立的实践教学体系；应当吸收科学技术与社会发展的最新成果，改革实践教学内容，实现工艺性、设计性、综合性的实验；逐步形成实践能力与操作技能、专业技术应用能力与专业技能、综合实践能力有机结合的完整体系。     

高校教师角色扮演的作用与要求

“角色扮演”是教学、培训活动的一种方式，其作用是使参与从不同的角度思考问题，在认知和情感上产生冲突，形成新的、更高层次的认识和体验。目前，用“角色扮演”这一方式进行教学和培训的活动正日渐被广泛采用。本结合有关献和本人的经验和反思，探讨了“角色扮演”的定义、基本步骤、作用、要求和其他拓展方式等。     

Building a future without gender violence: rural teachers and youth in rural KwaZulu-Natal,South Africa,leading community dialogue

This article advances the idea that rural youth and teachers are the key in leading community dialogue towards addressing gender-based violence (GBV) in their community through their film making. The youth voices on the realities of GBV in their school and community, in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, captured through the process of participatory video, are used to engage a group of their teachers in thinking about addressing GBV in the school and community. The teachers' engagement with the five participatory videos on GBV – through participatory analysis and participatory archiving – provided an opportunity to deepen their understanding of GBV by also interrogating their own stance and led them to direct the production of a composite video suitable for use in leading community dialogue on a future without violence.

“The FEMEN body can do everything”: Generating the agentic bodies of social movement through internal and external rhetorics

ABSTRACT

Recent theorizing recognizes the body’s importance in resistant performances characterizing the streets and screens of contemporary activism. In this essay, we examine how the transnational feminist organization FEMEN constructs embodied agencies through material and mediated means. Rather than focusing only on public appearances, we draw from fieldwork with FEMEN, utilizing participatory critical rhetoric to also examine the internal rhetorics shaping protest activities. Analyzing how FEMEN’s training prepares and produces individual, collective, and entangled bodies extends the communicative study of social movements by attending to corporeal molding behind the scenes. FEMEN constructs a gestural routine that enables activists to reexperience their bodies through rhetorics of powerful vulnerability, challenging gendered discourses while increasing rhetorical agency through enacted resistance and embodied solidarities.     

教学设计研究的田野工作趋向

人类学的田野工作召唤人们走进田野,关注现实,关注生活。作为一种方法论和具体的方法,其对教学设计研究也产生着重要影响。借鉴田野工作的成果来审视当前我国的教学设计现实,找到走出困惑的出路,对探求教学设计的研究大有裨益。     

通过参与式教学挖掘常规课程中的思想政治教育元素——以“企业伦理”课程为例

在多元化文化思潮的背景下,新时代大学生对课堂教学的期待日益提高,挖掘常规课程中的思想政治教育元素的重要性日益凸显。对于“企业伦理”课程中思想政治教育元素的挖掘,可通过参与式教学的方式,在重点知识介绍前,引入现实中企业社会责任意识等思想政治问题激发学生学习兴趣;在重点知识介绍过程中,穿插爱国企业家案例唤醒学生的爱国热情;在重点知识介绍后,通过角色扮演等互动方式巩固理解。通过构建“挖掘常规课程中的思想政治教育元素”的参与式教学新模式,为培养德才兼备的新时代科研人才提供借鉴,完善我国情境下的“企业伦理”课程知识体系。     

How are action researchers contributing to knowledge democracy? A global perspective

ABSTRACT

Although action research has been widely recognized as an appropriate methodology for promoting the democratization of knowledge, it is not always conducted from an emancipatory and transformative paradigm. Using AR in a technical way, renders it no more than a researcher-driven, problem-solving heuristic that perpetuates the intellectual colonization of local knowledge. This begs the question: how can action researchers work in ways that are contextually and culturally relevant, and generate knowledge that enables people to take control of improving their own lives as they see fit? This paper presents a thematic analysis of the narrative reports from seven participatory workshops held around the world for the purpose of dialoging around this and related questions. Findings indicate that, generally, action researchers are indeed facing challenges on many personal, institutional and epistemic levels as they endeavor to promote knowledge derived from the principles of authentic participation and dialogue with those whom it is intended to benefit. However, the analysis also reveals creative responses of practitioners to these challenges. In keeping with the special issue theme, we offer this analysis as a starting point for further discussion around how we can mobilize knowledge for equitable social progress.     

Linking theory and practice: teacher research in history and geography classrooms

The impact of scholarly research in education on the educational practice in secondary school is low. Academics examine problems that teachers in school perceive as irrelevant, want to publish in peer-reviewed journals instead of disseminate their work, and aim at generalizing insights rather than improving school practice. Teacher research might be a way to link educational academic research and teaching practice aiming at furthering professionalism in teaching, improving teaching practice and extending the knowledge base on teaching and learning. Four experienced secondary school teachers systematically investigated their classes, guided by a supervisor. Their materials as well as formal and informal communication with their supervisor and with each other were analysed. Related to their research projects, these teachers reported significant changes in their understanding of student learning and their teaching. They took different perspectives on teaching, looked at alternative solutions for problems, and reflected more deeply on their own teaching as well as teaching of their colleagues. Although each of them published an article in a peer-reviewed journal, they reported difficulties with extending the knowledge base on teaching and learning. Not only did they rarely share results with their colleagues in school because they were perceived as external researchers, they also struggled with writing journal articles and coping with peer reviews. We discuss the value of situated generalization as one of the implications and discuss how teacher research could lead to a new in-between research practice, linking theory and practice, and researchers and teachers.     

Social impact of participatory health research: collaborative non-linear processes of knowledge mobilization

Social impact, defined as an effect on society, culture, quality of life, community services, or public policy beyond academia, is widely considered as a relevant requirement for scientific research, especially in the field of health care. Traditionally, in health research, the process of knowledge transfer is rather linear and one-sided and has not recognized and integrated the expertise of practitioners and those who use services. This can lead to discrimination or disqualification of knowledge and epistemic injustice. Epistemic injustice is a situation wherein certain kinds of knowers and knowledge are not taken seriously into account to define a situation. The purpose of our article is to explore how health researchers can achieve social impact for a wide audience, involving them in a non-linear process of joint learning on urgent problems recognized by the various stakeholders in public health. In participatory health research impact is not preordained by one group of stakeholders, but the result of a process of reflection and dialog with multiple stakeholders on what counts as valuable outcomes. This knowledge mobilization and winding pathway embarked upon during such research have the potential for impact along the way as opposed to the expectation that impact will occur merely at the end of a research project. We will discuss and illustrate the merits of taking a negotiated, discursive and flexible pathway in the area of community-based health promotion.
