论德育的生命叙事模式

生命叙事模式是当代中国学校德育模式中的一种，是基于对中小学德育课堂教学有效性问题的思考、生命德育理论、生命叙事价值以及教学模式理论，建构起来的一种将道德学习与道德教育融为一体，将德育置于一定的情境中，把德育带入生活、引领生活的模式。它强调德育课堂教学要注重设计性情境、生成性情境以及课堂节奏，建立“生命性”的师生关系，强调教师的教育智慧，以表达性评价作为独特的评价形式。     

基于学生岗位综合能力考核的职业教育第三方评价体系的构建

基于学生岗位综合能力考核的职业教育第三方评价作为其中的一种实践体系,其评价的核心是职业院校准毕业生的岗位综合能力。这一体系的确立有利于形成行业用人标准,诊断和解决学校人才培养中遇到的课程与教学问题,确定毕业生的薪酬水平。构建基于学生岗位综合能力考核的职业教育第三方评价,需要确立用人单位的评价主体地位、形成多维度的评价指标体系、设计精准高效的评价考核流程、建立有力的评价保障系统等。     

利用网络教学平台开展过程性评价的研究与实践

当前,网络教学平台是开展过程性评价的良好工具,但教学实践中仍然存在很多障碍亟待解决。通过设置过程性评价的三个维度进行指标分解,在此基础上构建评价模型。对照模型指标,采用调查、观察和访谈方式了解网络教学平台的使用现状和学生的真实看法,总结出评价主体、评价内容、评价标准等方面的主要问题,并进一步分析产生原因,对应学习动机、学习过程、学习效果三个维度提出合理的改进建议。

Measuring adolescent science motivation

To monitor science motivation, 232 tenth graders of the college preparatory level (‘Gymnasium’) completed the Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ-II). Additionally, personality data were collected using a 10-item version of the Big Five Inventory. A subsequent exploratory factor analysis based on the eigenvalue-greater-than-one criterion, extracted a loading pattern, which in principle, followed the SMQ-II frame. Two items were dropped due to inappropriate loadings. The remaining SMQ-II seems to provide a consistent scale matching the findings in literature. Nevertheless, also possible shortcomings of the scale are discussed. Data showed a higher perceived self-determination in girls which seems compensated by their lower self-efficacy beliefs leading to equality of females and males in overall science motivation scores. Additionally, the Big Five personality traits and science motivation components show little relationship.     

开放教育形成性考核册浅析

如何实施远程开放教育学生自主化学习的监控,是开放教育完成教学任务的一项重要步骤。历年来,我国远程开放教育对学生学习每门功课进行监测都是利用中央电大或省电大的形成性考核册来完成的,在使用过程中,有利有弊。本文对形考册和网上作业进行分析,旨在探索更好的考核办法来促进开放教育的发展。

An evaluation of outcomes following the replacement of traditional histology laboratories with self‐study modules

Changes in medical school curricula often require educators to develop teaching strategies that decrease contact hours while maintaining effective pedagogical methods. When faced with this challenge, faculty at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine converted the majority of in‐person histology laboratory sessions to self‐study modules that utilize multiple audiovisual modalities and a virtual microscope platform. Outcomes related to this shift were investigated through performance on in‐house examinations, results of the United States Medical Licensing Examination^® (USMLE^®) Step 1 Examination, and student feedback. Medical School College Admissions Test^® (MCAT^®) scores were used as a covariate when comparing in‐house examinations. Results revealed no significant change in performance on in‐house examinations when the content being assessed was controlled (F(2, 506) = 0.676, P = 0.51). A significant improvement in overall practical examination grade averages was associated with the self‐study modules (F(6, 1164) = 10.213, P < 0.01), but gradual changes in examination content may explain this finding. The histology and cell biology portion of USMLE Step 1 Examination remained consistent throughout the time period that was investigated. Student feedback regarding the self‐study modules was positive and suggested that features such as instructor narrated videos were an important component of the self‐study modules because they helped recreate the experience of in‐person laboratory sessions. Positive outcomes from the student perspective and no drop in examination performance suggests that utilizing self‐study modules for histology laboratory content may be an option for educators faced with the challenge of reducing contact hours without eliminating content.

Aligning assessment with the needs of work-integrated learning: the challenges of authentic assessment in a complex context

Abstract

Work-integrated learning (WIL) is a feature of university courses, both in professional areas, where it is commonplace, but also across many different disciplines. Assessment of WIL can be complex as it involves parties and settings external to the university, and it can be problematic because of difficulties in aligning learning activities during placements with what is or can be assessed by the university. This paper explores the relationship between students’ placement experiences and accompanying assessments in contexts where activities are tightly coupled with the curriculum, and in those where it is not. It draws on a qualitative analysis of student interviews and drawings by the interviewees of their WIL experiences, supplemented with analysis of unit guides. Our findings highlight that students’ perceptions of authenticity of assessment were undermined by misalignments between the student, university and industry. Assessment authenticity was perceived by students as based on alignment between their current and future selves in the assessment process, involvement of industry supervisors and relevance of placement activities to assessment activities. The paper discusses the complexity of coordination of educational activities with external partners, especially when one party drives assessment. It then suggests a reframing of WIL assessment to promote alignment and authenticity.
