Teaching Them to Teach: Programmatic Evaluation of Graduate Assistants’ Teaching Performance

Academic libraries are one of the most important sources of “on the job” training for future library instructors. Librarians who supervise and assess these future library instructors (often in graduate assistant positions) often choose to provide observations and feedback each semester to these instructors in training. Scholarly literature, however, provides little information on whether this system helps graduate assistants to develop as teachers. The authors of this article assessed graduate assistants’ performance as teachers over three semesters using a system of observation and self-assessment. They analyzed both patterns and areas of growth and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this system.     

学生评教中存在的问题及对策研究

学生评价教师课堂教学质量是实现教学质量自我监控的重要环节之一,有助于保证教育服务质量的稳步上升、学生的健康成长与教师教育水平的提高。但由于种种原因,学生评教时往往会出现评价目的不明、评价形式单一、评价内容片面等诸多问题。要真正实现学生评教的价值,必须对这些问题进行分析,并找出相应的解决方案。     

语言习得理论对英语口语教学的启示

外语测试的形成性评价观

外语测试经历了以语码为纲和以结构为纲的两个时期。现行的外语测试则遵循“以信息为纲”的指导思想。语言测试的结果应能反映学生的语言运用能力，而学生的能力反馈又可常常作为教师的教学反思依据。本文旨在以形成性评价现分析外语测试与评价的一致性和外语测试的多功用性。     

论语言输入与外语习得

语言输入对外语习得的重要性已得到了普遍的认可.在国内外语言学家们所提出的理论和观点中,影响力最大的就是Krashen的"语言输入假设".本文主要以这一假设为理论根据,阐述了外语教学中语言输入的意义和如何进行语言输入.

The impact of PISA and the interrelation and development of assessment policy and assessment theory in Japan

PISA presents a new image for academic achievement, which has prompted Japanese education reforms over the past decade to innovate teaching and learning for ‘PISA-style literacy’. Supported by theoretical foundations, particularly with regard to the concept of ‘PISA literacy’ and ‘authentic assessment’, these reforms have accomplished progress in the focus on higher order competencies, such as application and the development of new assessment strategies. However, more recently, various critical discussions of ‘PISA literacy’ are underway in the Japanese academy. They interrogate it more critically and reveal the narrow emphasis on functional application and technical operation. Current assessment practices, which tend to fall into ‘criteria compliance’, are in urgent need of review. There is a need to extend the critical discussions in progress to the new assessment strategies. This paper responds to this, by considering the Japanese acceptance of ‘PISA literacy’ and its assessment, discussing the features and limitations.     

农业生态安全的概念和研究方法初探

农业生态系统是一个自然—社会经济复合生态系统。农业生态系统是否安全运行和有序调控与人类、社会、经济、环境密切相关。近十年来,伴随着人类对食物安全和自身健康的关切,国际上对农业生态安全问题的研究更加广泛和深入,并成为农业生态学研究的重要领域之一。本文阐述了农业生态安全理论的形成和发展,分析了农业生态安全评价的基本原则和评价内容,并在此基础上探讨了统计学模型、生态承载力方法和生态模型法等生态安全的评价方法。     

日本中小学教学与评价一体化原则及其对我国的启示

教学与评价一体化是日本新的中小学课程改革中提出的一项重要理念或原则，它具有丰富的内涵，即：1)评价是教学过程中一个重要组成部分和不可缺少的环节；2)教学与评价不可分离，评价伴随于整个教学的全过程；3)评价内在于学校、教师的教学过程之中；4)评价的直接目的是为了改善学校的教学，而其最终目的则是为了促进学生的成长。与日本类似，印度在其中小学课程改革中也提出了评价与教学过程相结合的思想。我国在新课程及其教学的改革中．有必要借鉴教学与评价一体化的理念或原则。
