新时期师生关系的反思与重构

师生关系经历了从身份到契约、从道德到法律的演化,传统师生伦理关系正被异化为法律关系,其结果是师生信任的丧失。要重塑和谐师生关系,须明确教师职业的双重性,将师生关系定位为信义关系,通过各种立法模式构建师生信义义务体系,在＂教＂、＂学＂相长中使师生双方尽到忠实和勤勉义务。     

国内外中小学师生关系研究述评

20世纪80年代末至今,师生关系的研究过程、研究范围和研究方法得到了深入和扩展。主要体现在:师生关系的研究过程中,经历了以教师活动为中心、师生互动为中心、学生反馈为中心的研究视角的转变;研究范围经历了以单纯研究师生关系,到将师生关系与亲子关系、同伴关系进行整合研究的拓展。研究方法从自我报告法、问卷法,再到情景研究法日益受到重视,师生关系研究逐步走向深入与生态。     

高校社会学专业实践教学的开展

针对社会学专业本科教学过程中实践教学不突出的现状,在系统梳理文献的基础上,以A大学为例,采用问卷调查法获得第一手资料,总结出社会学实践教学开展的紧迫性及必要性。在对社会学专业实践教学的内涵进行辨析基础上,将社会学实践教学分为认知学徒式实践教学及师生互动式实践教学两种类型,并基于两种类型,提出社会学实践教学的具体实施办法。     

微观政治学视角下师生交往中力量的交互作用

师生交往相对于师生关系而言,更强调师生双方的主体性与平等性。文章从微观政治学视角认识师生交往,认为师生交往是建立师生关系秩序的活动,这些活动以主体双方的利益为基础。师生交往中所产生的力量交互作用对主体双方的影响具有不确定性与双向性。文章旨在通过分析师生交往中的力量交互作用机制,有针对性地提出减少师生冲突、构建和谐课堂的建议策略。     

Looking through ethnographic eyes at classrooms acting as cultures

In this article we used an orienting framework of interactional ethnography to make visible classrooms acting as cultures. We examined the interactional patterns from two different classrooms as participants jointly negotiated and constructed meaning. We first demonstrated how participants began to construct a classroom culture in the first weeks of school. Next, we examined how taking up an ethnographic perspective assisted a teacher candidate to successfully enter an ongoing classroom culture. In the last analytic sequence, we followed the discursive practices surrounding a fifth grade student who re-entered an ongoing classroom culture after an absence of four months. The results showed that using ethnographic skills of observation and interpretation assisted both the teacher candidate and the returning student to become communicatively and culturally competent members, by recognising the social and academic patterned practices that were already taking shape through the classroom interactions.     

Student interactions at a college canteen: a critical perspective

Much has been written about the style of lecturing that is adopted by lecturers in institutions of further and higher education. However, little has been written about interactions that take place in the informal settings of college and university campuses. Using an ethnographic approach, this paper presents an exploration of how students at the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST), a post-secondary vocational college in Malta, further enable themselves to progress through a programme of studies by interacting at the college canteen. By employing an ethnographic methodology, based on participant-observation and unstructured spontaneous interviewing, the study explores, in a holistic way, different ways that students at MCAST experience student life and use the canteen as a space to give added meaning to the time they spend in this educational setting.     

Enhancing Secondary School Instruction and Student Achievement: Replication and Extension of the My Teaching Partner-Secondary Intervention

Abstract

My Teaching Partner-Secondary (MTP-S) is a web-mediated coaching intervention, which an initial randomized trial, primarily in middle schools, found to improve teacher–student interactions and student achievement. Given the dearth of validated teacher development interventions showing consistent effects, we sought to both replicate and extend these findings with a modified version of the program in a predominantly high school population, and in a more urban, sociodemographically diverse school district. MTP-S produced substantial gains in student achievement across 86 secondary school classrooms involving 1,194 students. Gains were robust across subject areas and equivalent to moving the average student from the 50th to the 59th percentile in achievement scores. Results suggest that MTP-S can enhance student outcomes across diverse settings and implementation modalities.     

The Case for e-Book Literacy: Undergraduate Students' Experience with e-Books for Course Work

This paper investigates how electronic books (e-books) are used for scholarly activity. It focuses on the end-users of e-books in a case study which aimed to establish how scholars use and learn from e-books and the limitations of academic e-books.     

The Three R's: Rapport,Relationship, and Reference

In the eyes of our patrons, the success of a library transaction depends on both the accuracy of the information conveyed and the quality of the patron/staff interaction. We each experience rapport naturally many times during the day. Skills borrowed from the field of neuro-linguistic programming allow us to learn to quickly create a state of rapport with anyone we encounter. By learning to create rapport intentionally with our patrons, we can improve the quality of their library experience.
