Validation of a self-perceived media competence instrument for pre-service teachers / Validación de un instrumento de autopercepción de competencia mediática para docentes en formación

Abstract

Key to guaranteeing the fundamental human rights of freedom of expression and information is the development of media competence, particularly in schools. Training teachers in the area of media competence is particularly important for developing these skills in the broader citizenry. In order to provide educators and educational policymakers with a useful diagnostic tool, we have designed a self-perception questionnaire. The questionnaire was applied to a sample of Peruvian education students (N = 501). On the one hand, the results confirm the construct’s coherence, validity and instrumental reliability. On the other hand, they allow us to propose a theoretically based update to the way in which this construct is interpreted and applied, confirming the multidimensionality of media competence. Finally, we use this empirical evidence to discuss the integral, transversal and ecological status of media competence.     

Assessing postgraduate student perceptions and measures of learning in a peer review feedback process

Peer review feedback, developed to assist students with increasing the quality of group reports and developing peer review skills, was added to a master’s level Climate Change Policy and Planning unit. A pre- and post-survey was conducted to determine whether students found the process a valuable learning opportunity: 87% of students responding to the post-review survey indicated they saw benefit in both developing and receiving peer review feedback. Peer review design minimising the potential for plagiarism resulted in low levels of student concern surrounding plagiarism. Marks allocated by students were valid (consistent with the lecturer) and were generally reliable; however, distribution of marks had a higher variance where group report quality was low. Training on completing the peer review template could result in more reliable feedback. Consistent with the literature, the feedback developed during the peer review process focused on style and presentation preferentially to content. Seven out of eight group reports improved between report submissions, with all groups responding to peer review feedback. Peer review feedback and changes made to group reports indicated students had limited capacity to judge the quality of referencing and critical analysis.

计算机辅助心理咨询的探索与思考

社会转型,中国入世,必然引起社会许多方面急剧面深刻的变化,这些变化必然引起人们心理上的一系列变化,这两种变化又必然对我国的心理咨询工作提出越来越高而且越来越广泛的要求。然而,由于种种原因,我国心理咨询队伍远远滞后于现实需要,短期内又无法培养出足够的人员。计算机辅助心理咨询可以使心理测验和心理诊断、心理指导、心理辅导和心理训练自动化和半自动化,使心理咨询客观化,这必将大大提高心理咨询的质量和效率,收到以机助人的效果。计算机辅助心理咨询可以走入机关、学校、企业甚至家庭,从而成为大众自我心理教育、自我心理调节的得力工具,更好地发挥心理咨询“助人自助’的功能。计算机辅助心理咨询的技术基础是人—机对话,它的技术体系包括计算机辅助心理测验和心理诊断,计算机管理心理发展档案,计算机辅助心理指导、心理辅导和心理训练。

科学创新的涵义

基础科学领域中人们对创新概念理解较为混乱，应从科学哲学层面分析创新的蕴涵。从科学实践来看，创新指科学活动中的发现事实、发明方法和创造理论三种基本形式；而从哲学上来分析，创新则是观念的转变，是“思想革命”的过程。因此，从内涵和外延上完整把握这两方面才能正确理解“创新”的一般涵义，分析创新概念在科学领域和经济学领域中的异同。
