《高级英语》教学中的教师角色定位与学习自主行为

教师的角色定位和学生自主学习行为一直是困扰《高级英语》授课者和学习者的一大难题。结合大纲要求以及《高级英语》课程的特点和教学目标,教学中教师新角色的实现主要体现为帮助学生建立正确的词汇识解策略,培养学生的篇章分析和欣赏能力,以及培养学生多角度解读语篇的能力;而学习者自主学习行为的实施则需要改进语言学习策略,提升学习的兴趣和动力,减少学习焦虑,以及建立师生间平等合作关系。     

高等学校实施素质教育的难点和出路

素质教育是我国教育事业的根本原则之一，但目前我们的教育离真正意义上的素质教育还有很大的距离。关于素质教育的主要认识误区表现在：人们常常把素质教育当作一种具体的素质教育手段；一些人有意识无意识地把思想政治工作及德育工作同专业知识教学对立起来，把素质教育等同于德育和思想政治工作；人们往往只把高等教育当作特定职业的专业知识培训，而没有把它视作人的成长历程中的一种素质培养；实施素质民遇到的难点还与传统化模式和化观念的影响有关。从体制上确立高等学校素质教育模式的基本思路是：必须改革教学管理与运行体制，全面实行真正的学分制；必须打破专业壁垒。实行自由选择和转换专业的体制；必须全面深化教学改革，形成以学生为主体的自主学习机制；必须改革和完善现有的学生管理与指导体制，实行导师制；必须更新教学的质量观念，确立多元化个性化的教学质量观念。     

Forming the Professional Self: Bildung and the ontological perspective on professional education and development

Ontological perspectives in higher education and particularly in professional education and development have focused attention on the question of the learner’s being and becoming rather than on the epistemological concern of what and how they know. This study considers the formation of the professional self in the light of the requirements for professional practice. It raises the question of agency in relation to this formational process and considers the implications of the autonomy paradox which arises from the simultaneous influence of the sovereign self and the external authority of the profession on the formation of the professional self. This study considers a structural perspective on both of these matters and concludes with implications for professional education and development derived from constructive developmental theory and the notion of subject–object transformation.

Cognitive support for learning computer-based tasks using animated demonstration

This study investigated the influence of cognitive support for learning computer-based tasks using animated demonstration (AD) on instructional efficiency. Cognitive support included (1) segmentation and learner control introducing interactive devices that allow content sequencing through a navigational menu, and content pacing through stop and play buttons along with a slide bar for fast forward and rewind; (2) presentation modality and (3) a hybrid approach using a combined format of ADs with static graphics. Instructional efficiency was a combined effect of time-on-task during the learning phase and test performance. Time-on-task was included as a measurement to determine whether this would provide an alternative explanation for the benefits of learner control. Three learner-paced conditions with different types of cognitive support were developed, whereas a system-paced format, created without additional cognitive support, was used as a control condition. The learning task of this study was using graphic vector-based software Bezier tools to trace a cartoon. The results tended to suggest that the combination of different types of cognitive support (i.e. presenting the accompanying explanations as written captions to the learner-paced AD in visual-only instruction or combining learner-paced AD with static graphics in dual-modality instruction) had a positive effect, while learner pacing alone had not a significant positive effect.     

在课堂教学中培养学习者的语言学习策略

20世纪80年代以来．国内外许多学者对语言学习策略进行了大量的探讨与研究。语言学习策略是外语学习者积极主动学习的工具，而在学习期间他们对语言知识的学习和运用大都是在课堂中进行的，因此外语教师要在课堂教学中培养和锻炼学生发展各自的语言学习策略．促使学生成功地实现从学习依赖到学习自主的过渡．最终成为成功的外语自主学习者。     

Online learning experiences of new versus continuing learners: a large-scale replication study

A vast body of research has indicated the importance of distinguishing new vs. continuing students’ learning experiences in blended and online environments. Continuing learners may have developed learning and coping mechanisms for ‘surviving’ in such learning environments, while new learners might still need to adjust their learning approaches to the new learning context. In this large-scale replication study, we investigated whether and how the learning satisfaction experiences of 16,670 new vs. 99,976 continuing students were different. Using logistical regression modelling of learner satisfaction scores of 422 undergraduate blended and online modules (including 232 learner and module learning design variables), our findings indicated that new learners indeed differed subtly in their learning and teaching experiences across two consecutive academic years. The minor differences in key drivers between the 2014 and 2015 cohorts also indicate that institutions need to continuously monitor and act upon changing learning needs.
