French teachers' intentions to use accommodated materials in learning and assessment

The implementation of inclusive practices in mainstream education remains particularly difficult in the French context and is influenced by various factors including the types of disability labels, and the type of assessment practices that are used. Indeed, how student disability is labelled could impact teacher attitudes by notably disfavouring students labelled with autism. Moreover, normative assessment is strongly linked with selection at schools—a function that works against teacher attitudes towards inclusive education. This article reports on a study in which we examined teacher intentions to use materials accommodated to special educational needs students, as a function of special needs labelling. Specifically, this refers to the use of labels for either a disability or special educational need, in connection to tasks associated with learning or assessment. The results of our study revealed that, for both types of labels, the intentions to use accommodated materials are lower when teachers are asked to assess student competence than when prompted to teach this competence. These findings are discussed with consideration to the incompatibility between selection in schools—which is aligned with the principle of meritocracy—and efforts to promote inclusive education practices.     

The ecology of language teacher assessment literacy: Insights from emotional critical incidents

Despite the substantial growth of research on language assessment literacy (LAL), the emotional side of LAL has been under-researched. In response to this gap of knowledge, the present study explored Iranian English language teachers’ LAL through the lens of emotional critical incidents (CIs). Drawing on an ecological lens as embedded in a case-study design, data were collected from narrative frames, classroom observations and post-class discussions, and semi-structured interviews. Data analyses revealed three personal, institutional, and sociocultural ecologies that shaped the teachers’ LAL-related emotional CIs and the associated sense-making, practice, and perceptions about assessment. In particular, we found that the emotional side of LAL is defined by agency, emotion labor, the need for voice, and broader discourses of assessment in Iran. Based on the findings, we provide implications for running professional development courses that build on teachers’ LAL and account for emotions as a key component of such courses.     

Investigating science teacher educator identity through the politics of domestication and critical positional praxis

The focus on identity in the field of teaching and learning continues to grow, especially when it concerns equitable outcomes for students. While most attention is placed on students' identities and increasingly those of teachers, lesser addressed are the identities of the teacher educators and researchers broaching the issue of identity. Additionally, identity research is not often linked to relationships between self, others, and transformative action. We recognize these as gaps to be addressed and offer critical positional praxis (CPP) as a response. CPP is the public manifestation of the insights gained through our sense of identity and reflexivity. More specifically, CPP is the actions (or inactions) that express who we are in response to an event in any given social context—especially oppressive ones. In this article, we draw from our own critical autoethnographies, as a context for putting CPP into practice in identity research. Our collective analysis of these critical autoethnographies revealed how our identity development was inseparable from the ways in which we have each resisted the politics of domestication. Our autoethnographies further point to the role of dissent as central to our experiences of becoming critical science teacher educators committed to equity, diversity, and anti-racism in education. We draw from this analysis to offer recommendations for how identity and positionality can move beyond theoretical constructs toward transformative personal and collective change in science education.

基于组织战略的高校教师柔性绩效评价体系研究

教师绩效评价对高校发展目标实现、高校教育质量和教师专业发展具有重要的意义。本文从高校教师劳动特点和心理需求角度,分析了柔性管理与教师绩效评价的契合度,从组织战略与教师绩效评价关系的角度,分析了两者结合所必须遵循的原则。在此基础上,提出了基于组织战略的高校教师柔性绩效评价体系,并对评价体系所包含的基本要素、要素特点和相互之间的关系进行了深入的研究。     

希腊化数学和应用数学领域理性精神的发展

亚历山大里亚的学术活动与应用实践领域紧密结合在一起。这种希腊化特征具有促进应用实践技术领域理性意识的成长和理性推测领域的理论发明向观察一实验视界靠拢的双重意义。欧几里得思想体系对于从希腊古典时期的数学理性向近代以来科学理性的范式转换,在很大程度上起到中枢作用。托勒密对由柏拉图发起的以数学原理“拯救现象”的传统起到无可替代的中继环节作用。此外,应用数学的发展还与力学、光学等应用科学和营造技术等实践技术紧密联系在一起,从而达到了与近代科学革命相隔近千年之久的古代科学巅峰。     

浅析幼儿园虐童事件的微观管理

幼儿园虐童事件的发生对幼儿的身心发展会产生很多负面影响。幼儿园应加强管理,可以从以下几个角度采取措施:依法招聘合格幼儿教师,严把幼儿园教师入口关;二、依照《幼儿园教师专业标准》,做好对幼儿园教师的在职培训;三、加强日常保教工作的监督检查,规范幼儿园教师的保教行为;四、提高幼儿教师工资福利待遇,增强幼儿教师职业幸福感。     

个性化教育视野下的教师角色重构

近年,随着后现代主义的不断发展,个性化教育也越来越引起人们的关注。但由于我国传统教育思想的影响,教师的一系列教学活动仍然是围绕着应试教育而展开,因此,作为高校教师应主动地转变教育思想与教学方式,重构自身角色,以全面适应个性化教育发展的需要。     

广西边境民族地区教师培训问题与对策的思考

近年来,广西重视边境民族地区的教师培训,这些活动取得了一定的成效,但是也遇到了以下问题院培训经费不足,全员参与培训难度较大,存在地域性差异,培训内容没有突出“边境””和“民族”的特色,评价考核评价机制不够完善。针对这些问题,笔者提出了一些有针对性的建议,以此推进境民族地区教师培训的健康发展。
