Comparing two types of model progression in an inquiry learning environment with modelling facilities

The educational advantages of inquiry learning environments that incorporate modelling facilities are often challenged by students’ poor inquiry skills. This study examined two types of model progression as means to compensate for these skill deficiencies. Model order progression (MOP), the predicted optimal variant, gradually increases the specificity of the relations between variables, whereas model elaboration progression (MEP) gradually expands the number of variables in the task. The study utilized a between-subject design with three conditions: a MOP condition (n = 28), a MEP condition (n = 26), and a control condition without model progression (n = 30). Consistent with expectations, model progression enhanced students’ task performance; a comparison among the two model progression conditions confirmed the predicted superiority of the MOP condition. These results are discussed in relation to the inconsistent findings from prior research. Based on this discussion ways to optimize model order progression are advanced.     

优秀大学英语教师专业发展观念的叙事探究

文章运用叙事探究的理念与方法,对江苏省某重点高校两位优秀大学英语教师的专业发展观念进行了描述、诠释与反思,揭示了她们对于专业发展内涵、动力、途径和制约因素的理解。研究发现,教师专业发展观念的形成与变化受到教育背景、生活环境、从业经历、个人兴趣等主客观因素的影响;自主发展意识与专业追求是教师发展的内在动力,持之以恒的反思、定期的脱产进修和任务驱动式的专业协作是教师发展的主要途径。

Re-engaging disengaged pupils in physical education: an appreciative inquiry perspective

Many children and young people enjoy physical education (PE), yet many do not, and subsequently become disengaged from PE. Previous research that has explored pupil disengagement from PE has focused on what teachers should do to re-engage their pupils, or has encouraged dis-engaged pupils to create a curriculum that they perceive to be socially and culturally relevant. While this research is extremely important, it does not highlight enough what teachers bring to the teaching and learning process. An alternative approach to understanding (dis)engagement in PE is to start by asking both teachers and pupils: what is currently working, why is it working, and what could be in the future? This ‘appreciative inquiry’ (AI) approach is underpinned by the belief that everyone and everything has strengths that can be developed, and that those strengths should be the starting point for change. Consequently, in establishing the use of AI as an important means of understanding and potentially enhancing PE pedagogy, this research sought to understand the successful teaching strategies developed by PE teachers to re-engage disengaged pupils. Importantly, in recognising the value of understanding pupil experiences we also explored and shared the success stories of the ‘re-engaged’ pupils. Finally, in extending the research in this area, we examined the impact that teacher engagement in the AI process had on their professional learning. As the teachers engaged in the AI process, they discussed, listened to (each other and their pupils), reflected and shared their success stories. This, in turn, appears to have encouraged them to re-articulate and re-enact their practice and learning within the context of a more positive future. They designed (and in some cases, co-design with their pupils) meaningful and empowering PE programmes for their ‘disengaged’ pupils and have subsequently made a commitment to future professional learning and inquiry.

家庭与社会保障

本论文针对现代社会保障发展进程中的几个理论和实际问题进行了探讨.社会保障是国家的政府行为,是社会稳定、协调发展的重要手段.基本的社会保障制度,是各国政府的职能和不可推卸的责任,不可以推向市场走完全商业化的道路,商业性的社会保险与社会保障有本质区别.现代社会中传统的家庭保障随着社会的变迁必然走向以社会保障为主的替代形式,其主要功能是实现子女对长辈的生活照料和精神慰藉,社会保障不能完全替代家庭保障功能.
