Evaluation of Online, On-Demand Science Professional Development Material Involving Two Different Implementation Models

This report presents pilot-test results for a science professional development program featuring online, on-demand materials developed by the National Science Teachers Association. During the spring 2006 semester, 45 middle school teachers from three different school districts across the United States participated in a professional development program designed to facilitate content knowledge and skills in the area of Newtonian force and motion. Participants from one of the school districts experienced a full-day instructor-led workshop along with two web-based seminars with a content-area expert. This was followed by a 4-week period of time in which they had access to self-directed, online, on-demand instructional materials that included activities, information, simulations, examples, and practice with immediate feedback over the targeted outcomes. Participants from the two other school districts only had access to the online materials with no instructor-led experience. This report documents positive gains in achievement as well as levels of confidence in teaching the material within all of the professional development groups. Data about the use of specific features within the online material are included, as well as completion rates and attitude survey results. Recommendations for future study are also included.     

城乡教师专业发展的校际合作机制构建研究

对城乡资源进行合理的配置,不仅有利于农村教师与城市教师享有共同发展机会,还可以通过城乡互融、校级合作使部分学校闲置的教育资源得以利用,进而可以促进教师专业发展,提高学校整体教育水平。所以,需要积极建立城乡学校合作的体系,对城乡的教育资源进行合理的分配,并且对城乡学校的激励机制进行完善,形成科学合理的评估体系,能有效地实现城乡教育资源的优势互补以及城乡教师的良性发展。     

基于“共生”理论下的创业教育与专业教育融合途径

近年来,创业教育逐渐受到学术界重视,有关这方面的研究也在逐渐深入。创业教育作为一种新的高等教育方向,对解决当前大学生就业难的现实问题、促进经济更好更快地发展无疑具有重要的现实意义。当前的创业教育也面临诸多问题,应用共生理论将创业教育与专业教育结合在一起,可以实现二者的共生融合发展,这是高校创业教育探索的新思路。文章阐述了创业教育与专业教育融合的意义、分析了共生理论下创业教育与专业教育融合发展的新策略、探讨共生理论下创业教育与专业教育融合共生路径。     

美国优秀历史教师教学专业标准的分析与研究

《美国优秀历史教师教学专业标准》旨在通过严格的历史教师教学标准促进学生的学习。其对于我国教师专业标准的重要启示意义在于:注重优秀历史教师知识结构的全面完整性;以卓越教学行为来展现优秀历史教师的专业形象;对于优秀历史教师核心知识与能力的要求明确、具体;以学生的学习效果评量教师的教学水平。     

Impact of professional development on teacher practice: Uncovering connections

An Inquiry Learning Partnership (ILP) for professional development (PD) was formed between a university, science centre, and two urban school districts to offer 4–6th grade teachers specific science content and pedagogical techniques intended to integrate inquiry-based instruction in elementary classrooms. From pre/post content exams, PD surveys, focus group, and assessment data, teachers increased their science content knowledge, reported implementing inquiry practices in their classrooms and their students experienced modest gains on 5th grade standardized science achievement exams. While some teachers were transferring knowledge/skills gained in professional development to their classrooms, others encountered barriers to implementing PD. These obstacles included limited resources, time constraints, mandated curriculum pacing, language learning, and classroom management issues. Strategies to mitigate these barriers in order to maximize the impact of professional development need to be a priority in professional development reform.     

Researchers’ achievement goals: Prevalence,structure, and associations with job burnout/engagement and professional learning

Researchers’ motivations are important for high-quality research and the productivity of the scientific system, but remain largely uninvestigated. Using three studies, we tested the usefulness of Achievement Goal Theory (AGT) for describing research motivations, investigated which goals researchers pursue, and examined their associations with job burnout/engagement and professional learning. Interviewing 20 researchers (Study 1), we found that most of their goals in the research context were classifiable as achievement goals. Apart from mastery and performance goals that are well-established in the AGT literature, they also mentioned relational and work-avoidance goals. Mastery goals comprised task and learning standards, performance goals comprised appearance and normative strivings. In Study 2, we used a standardized questionnaire to assess these goals in 824 researchers, along with burnout/engagement, professional learning time, and professional learning gains. Results confirmed the separability of all conceptualized goals, measurement invariance across academic status, and differential patterns of associations with burnout/engagement and professional learning. In Study 3, we analyzed these constructs in 471 researchers at two time points, six months apart. Results attested measurement invariance over time. Cross-lagged analyses documented similar associations as in Study 2. Learning approach and relational goals had positive effects on professional learning; appearance avoidance and work-avoidance goals were negative predictors. In contrast, burnout was negatively predicted by normative avoidance goals. However, high initial burnout levels were associated with reduced task approach and learning approach, and stronger work-avoidance goals six months later. Taken together, the results highlight the usefulness of AGT for understanding researchers’ motivations, and their relatedness with professional learning and well-being at work.     

Paving the way for sustainable educational change: Reconceptualizing what it means to make educational changes that last

This position paper provides an alternative theoretical framework of sustainable second-order educational change. Here, sustainability refers to: 1) substantial changes made that affect the core of educators’ everyday practice; 2) a longitudinal process that begins when educators contemplate making changes and ends when satisfactory achievement on the other characteristics is reached and overt learning efforts are stopped; 3) a process of individual and organizational learning as well as changes in behaviors; resulting in 4) significant positive effects on student outcomes. Thus, this definition focuses on educators and their schools, not on professional development programs. Methodological considerations are provided.     

青年教师职业发展的现状及其评价改革的意义

在工具理性的强势扩张和绩效评价盛行的背景下,青年教师心理压力和职业焦虑影响着高等教育教书育人和学术创新使命的达成。了解高校青年教师职业发展的困顿,分析青年教师职业压力的影响因素,对于破解教师职业发展难题,回归高等学校本真职责,遵循教师学术发展的规律,完善教师考核评价制度,保护教师教书育人的内在兴趣,寻找支持青年教师学术研究与持续创新的内在动力,探索由制度约束走向文化生成的内生力量具有十分重要的意义。     

我国职业足球转会制度的法学透视

我国足球事业正在处于高速发展的时期,以广州恒大为代表的职业队伍在国际赛场上不断取得喜人的成绩,由此也带动了职业足球转会制度的改革.基于中国足协2015年12月30日正式下发新版《中国足球协会球员身份与转会管理规定》这一重大事件节点,从法学角度解析了我国职业足球转会制度的发展与变化.新规对自由转会制度以及随之配套的转会费、转会名额限制、青训补偿、联合机制补偿等一系列相关措施进行了大刀阔斧的改革,足球转会的自由度明显得到提升,显现出了我国职业足球转会制度从“包办”到“有序自由”的发展脉络,而足协干预与市场自治之间的边界也在逐步厘清,与足球转会密切相关的培训利益分享机制亦是当前足球改革的重要着力点.
